Before a quarter of an hour had passed, the guards who went to interrogate Wen Congyun's personal maids came back. Those two maids were just ordinary people. Although they were loyal to Wen Congyun, they did not have strong willpower, so the cane punishment was not used yet. After a while, the two maids couldn't wait to confess.
The emperor looked at the confession paper handed over by the guard. He was so angry that he trembled all over. It turned out that the maid had indeed told everything about Wen Congyun and Fang Zheng who had been childhood sweethearts and almost got married. All these things need to be done carefully. A quick search revealed that it was clear that the two maids could not make such a fuss, so the emperor immediately believed it.
He never expected that he would inadvertently become the villain who broke up the "lovers". However, he did not force Wen Congyun to enter the palace. It was Wen Congyun's family who agreed and she entered the palace voluntarily, but she entered the palace. After the palace, she still had secret meetings with her old lover! Still in this harem, right under his nose! How could the emperor endure this? ! Even an ordinary man can't stand his woman having an affair with her lover and cuckolding him, let alone a self-absorbed emperor? !
The emperor, whose pride was hurt, stared at Wen Congyun fiercely: "Mr. Wen! What else do you have to say?" He threw the confession in his hand at Wen Congyun.
Wen Congyun didn't need to pick it up, she just took a few glances out of the corner of her eye and saw something that frightened her. Her face was bloodless and her eyes were full of fear. She could only look at the emperor pleadingly and murmured for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me... I was confused for a moment..."
"Come here! Take that adulterer down and cut him into pieces! Feed the scraped meat to the dogs!" The emperor's eyes were blood red and he stared at Wen Congyun as if he wanted to bite people.
As expected, Wen Congyun was so frightened by his words that her pupils shrank and she couldn't even speak.
Seeing her embarrassment, the emperor thought that the evil anger in his heart had been released a little bit, but it was not enough, so he said to Wen Congyun maliciously: "Mrs. Wen, what do you think I should do to you?"
"Your Majesty!" Wen Congyun burst into tears and wanted to repeat her old trick of hugging the emperor's feet and begging for mercy. However, the emperor would not give her a chance to get close this time. He raised his foot and kicked her hard against the wall. superior.
"Consign this bitch to the cold palace, deprive her of her title, and demote her to a commoner! I will tell you the rest after a thorough investigation." The emperor gave Wen Congyun a sinister look and ordered.
So someone quickly dragged Wen Congyun down like a dead dog.
The culprit was no longer in front of him, and the emperor's reason, which had been driven away by anger, finally returned. He looked at the dense crowd of people around him, including his concubines, the palace servants serving the master, and the guards who put out the fire... there were at least thirty or forty people at least... isn't this He said that at least thirty or forty people knew about his concubine's cuckolding. !
Realizing this, the emperor's eyes instantly darkened, and he wanted to faint again, but he had not finished dealing with the matter and could not faint, so he held on firmly, glanced at the people around him fiercely, and said : "If anyone dares to leak the slightest bit of information about this matter, I will make his head fall to the ground! Remember?"
The people around him, whether they were his concubines, palace servants or guards, when they heard what he said, they immediately knelt on the ground and responded tremblingly. Who dared to tell the story about the emperor being cuckolded? It’s not like they dislike longevity...
At this time, these people realized belatedly that they had witnessed the scene of the emperor's concubine's affair, and they had stumbled upon a secret that would be silenced if they were not careful! Thinking of this, they immediately broke into a cold sweat and were terrified. Fortunately, the emperor was kind and not a murderous person, so he just wanted them to shut up and did not kill them.
In fact, the emperor was also a little annoyed with himself, because he was so angry that he forgot to keep it secret, and led so many people to witness the scene of his concubine having an affair. After dealing with Wen Congyun and her After the woman became his husband, he realized that too many people knew about this secret, so he couldn't help but have a headache, and quickly made amends, hoping to allow these people to keep this secret.
After being busy for most of the night, although the fire in Fangyun Palace was extinguished, everyone knew in their hearts that this incident was not completely over yet. After all, the owner of Fangyun Palace was still alive. Although he had been thrown into the cold palace, he probably would not come out alive in this life. It's possible, unless... her son, the third prince, becomes the emperor.
However, is it possible for the third prince to become emperor? Ever since everyone saw Wen Congyun lying on the same bed with a strange man, there have been doubts about the third prince's life experience: is he the emperor's biological son?
This was a question that everyone couldn't help but secretly speculate on, and the emperor himself was very concerned about this issue, so after driving everyone away, he went to see the third prince who was still unconscious.
However, the third prince is only over three years old now and looks more like his mother Wen Congyun than the emperor. In addition, the emperor had preconceived suspicions about him because Wen Congyun cuckolded him. So the more he looked at the third prince, the more he felt that he had no resemblance to himself, more like Wen Congyun's godfather, so the emperor snorted angrily, never looked at the third prince again, and left in a hurry.
In fact, the third prince will look more and more like the emperor when he grows up, but who makes the third prince look more like Wen Congyun now? So he can only count himself unlucky.
The emperor doubted the third prince's life experience and became very disgusted with him. Not only did he no longer care about his illness caused by inhaling too much smoke that day, but even if someone occasionally mentioned the third prince, the emperor would get angry. So it didn't take long for everyone to know The emperor hated the third prince.
The concubines who went to Fangyun Palace that day to learn about Wen Congyun's affairs were well aware of the reason and were happy to see the third prince being rejected by the emperor. They followed the emperor's preferences and expressed their dissatisfaction with the third prince from time to time. Happy, so the third prince's life became very sad.
The people in the palace have always been the best at flattering others and being the most observant, and even better at pleasing their master. So the third prince suffered a disaster and was moved to a more remote and dilapidated place, with only two or three people left to serve him. There are dull and taciturn palace people, an old palace maid in her fifties and sixties, a thin and lame eunuch in his thirties, and a stupid little eunuch in his twelfth or thirteen years old.
Under such circumstances, the third prince soon began to suffer from hunger. The food was sour, the quantity was small and unpalatable, and no one washed his clothes. The old palace maid had no strength and did not wash them cleanly. The local mattress was thin and dirty... Soon, the third prince became a dirty, thin little pitiful man.
