After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Wang Po was terrified and said quickly, "Your Highness, spare my life!"

"It's very simple if you want me to forgive you. Just answer the questions I ask you truthfully. If you tell me even a lie..."

Wang Po made a bitter face, as if lamenting her own pitiful fate. She said in a trembling voice, "I dare not deceive Your Highness. Whatever Your Highness wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

Zhao Yao raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.

"Did Princess Chengqian give you this life-saving elixir?"

"That's right, Princess Chengqian gave it to me..."

"Why did she give you such an expensive medicine?"

Wang Po said without hesitation: "Princess Chengqian took pity on me and was grateful for my care when I was young..."

Zhao Yao smiled lightly, and then the door behind Wang Po opened, and a little eunuch with a ferocious face walked in, holding a child in his arms.

The young eunuch covered the child's mouth with one hand and held a dagger in the other hand. The tip of the knife scraped against the boy's tender neck, leaving a shallow scar on it.

The little boy's face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and tears kept coming out. When he saw Wang Po, he immediately struggled and whimpered.

When Wang Po heard the voice, she looked over and her eyes widened immediately. Then she looked at Zhao Yao in fear, "Your Highness, please spare my life! Why are you doing this?!"

"I told you to listen to the truth!"

Wang Po burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please, Your Highness, please let my child go! I am telling the truth! I am telling the truth!"

Zhao Yao seemed not to have heard Wang Po's words and gave the young eunuch a look. The young eunuch received the order and raised the dagger to stab the little boy.

Wang Po's heart stopped suddenly. She opened her mouth and uttered nothing, as if she was stupid.

Seeing this, Zhao Yao raised her fingertips slightly, and the young eunuch immediately withdrew his hand.

"I'll ask again, why did Princess Chengqian give you the medicine?"

Wang Po was already frightened silly. She sat on the ground exhausted, her chapped face covered with water stains, whether from cold sweat or tears. It was unclear whether she heard the sound or not. Her unfocused eyes regained some color.

She trembled, grinned, and choked with sobs: "The slave said..."

In the dim palace, the scent of sandalwood wafts through the air.

It was incredibly quiet.

Only Wang Po's hoarse and trembling voice echoed throughout the inner hall.

"I know a secret of Princess Chengqian..."

"I used this secret to blackmail Princess Chengqian, and that's why Princess Chengqian gave me the elixir..."

"What secret?!"

Grandma Wang looked at her grandson who had fainted from fear, gritted her teeth and said, "Princess Chengqian...she was not born to your majesty...Queen Xiaomin gave birth a month prematurely, but she was actually born at full term..."

"Empress Hyomin was afraid that people would know, so she kept her belly tied with a belly band..."

Zhao Yao swallowed her saliva and tried her best to suppress the trembling in her heart... She pinched the table tightly, and her voice was filled with a heavy gasp that she didn't even know she had, "I am of royal blood, how can you say such nonsense! Do you... have any evidence?"

Mrs. Wang stared at Zhao Yao with eyes wide open, "I didn't lie!"

"I have evidence!"

"What evidence?"

Grandma Wang swallowed her saliva and said, "I have delivered many babies for princesses and princes in the palace, so I know some of your characteristics... Your Majesty has a dark brown crescent-shaped birthmark on his waist. Not only Your Majesty has it, but all of His Majesty's descendants have it!"

"If you don't believe me, Your Highness, you can take a look at your waist. Is there a birthmark there as well?"

Lin looked at Zhao Yao for confirmation, but Zhao Yao had already reached for her waist...

She does have...

Zhao Yao couldn't help swallowing again. She could hardly control her excitement.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.

Then he asked Wang Po, "You mean, Cheng Qian... doesn't have this birthmark?"

Grandma Wang nodded, "I have watched Princess Chengqian grow up. She is as white as jade and has no birthmarks!"

Zhao Yao finally confirmed it.

She whispered, "You stay in the palace for now. I will send someone to take good care of your grandson. You just need to watch your mouth. If you reveal even a little bit of what happened today, I will feed your grandson to the dogs!"

Wang Po kowtowed repeatedly, "I dare not! I will definitely keep my mouth shut. Please don't feed my grandson to the dogs!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yao waved her hand and said, "Back off!"

Until Wang Po and the young eunuch left.

Only Lin was left, and Zhao Yao's tense body finally relaxed.

She looked at Lin and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

God!

Has God finally blessed her?

With this secret, Zhao Ying is finished!

Not only her and the crown prince, but even the late Queen Hyomin's reputation is no longer secure!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Zhao Yao gritted her teeth!

What a relief!

For the past thirty years, she has been suppressed by Zhao Ying, and now Zhao Ying has become a bastard... Hahahahahaha, she wants to see what her father's expression will be when he knows that he has been loving a bastard for so many years!

Zhao Ying is a bastard...

Nothing could be more exciting and joyful than this!

Zhao Ying is finished!

She is dead now!

Even Shangguan Shu couldn't protect her!

Lin suddenly found out about such a big news. She was excited but also a little scared. She said to Zhao Yao in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, if what Wang Po said is true, then..."

Zhao Yao couldn't help but chuckle. After laughing for a long time, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't tell anyone about this for now. I still have a great use for you!"

Zhao Yao calmed down her excitement, asked Lin to leave first, and then walked to Concubine Shu's palace and asked Concubine Shu, "Mother, is there a crescent-shaped birthmark on Father's waist?"

She had to confirm it once and make sure it was correct before she could make a fatal blow!

Shufei was confused at first because she had not been favored by the emperor for a long time. Even if she was favored, she was always in the dark. How could she know what Emperor Jianxi had?

"Why do you ask?"

"Is there any?"

"I... don't know!"

Zhao Yao frowned upon hearing this, and complained to herself that Concubine Shu was useless, then said, "I know this will be very useful, Mother, go and see Father now and confirm it!"

Concubine Shu was puzzled and insisted on finding out the reason. Zhao Yao had no choice but to tell her what happened.

After hearing this, Concubine Shu sat down, holding her chest.

After calming down for a while, he raised his hand and said tremblingly, "I'll go and see it now!"

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

As Concubine Shu was about to go in with the soup, Butler Wu passed by her with the medicine.

Concubine Shu asked, "Where is your majesty injured?"

Chief Steward Wu sighed, "He is not injured, but the weather has changed recently, and your Majesty's waist is a little painful. I just asked this servant to remove the plaster and change it."

When Concubine Shu heard this, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

I really want to eat hail from an icy sky. When a person is lucky, nothing can stop him!

She was just worrying about how to lift up Emperor Jianxi's clothes to see his waist, and now she had an excuse.
