Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Although Prince Cheng was the late emperor's adopted son, he seldom called the Queen Mother "Mother", so even the Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed when she was called so solemnly.

She carefully looked at the woman beside Prince Cheng and saw that she was wearing a plain satin jacket. She was indeed outstanding in appearance. Most importantly, she looked 80% similar to Shen Nanqiao, but compared to the young girl in her teens, she was more elegant and graceful.

The Queen Mother had met Madam Shen several times when she was young, but she did not have a deep impression of her, so now she only felt that she looked familiar.

She remembered that she felt a sense of déjà vu when she first saw Shen Nanqiao in the Cining Palace. Now it seemed that she was most likely the person in front of her.

Unfortunately, it was such a long time ago that I was not quite sure, so I turned my attention to King Cheng.

"You said this isn't Mrs. Shen?"

King Cheng shook his head solemnly.

"Speaking of which, I do have some connection with Madam Shen's family. I am her cousin, so I look very similar to her."

"Isn't this too similar?" Princess Nine smiled and looked at Shen Nanqiao, then looked at the lady standing on the ground, "They are simply cast in the same mold."

Prince Cheng responded calmly.

"It's normal for her to look like him. After all, they are related by blood. Besides, she and Madam Shen are actually siblings from the same mother. It's just that my uncle had no children, so he adopted my sister."

"Impossible!" Shen Jingyi interrupted abruptly, "Mother never mentioned that she had a sister!"

Shen Nanqiao raised his eyebrows and showed a harmless smile.

"Mrs. Shen is overestimating herself. Does a legitimate mother have to report everything to a concubine's daughter? Especially a concubine's daughter who has just grown up. What can she understand?"

Shen Jingyi was choked for a moment. She knew clearly that the person in front of her was Mrs. Shen, but she could not find any strong evidence.

The Ninth Princess stood up and slowly walked to Madam Shen, who remained silent. She looked at her carefully for a long while, then suddenly turned to the Queen Mother and said.

"Since you both have your own opinions, why not ask Minister Shen to come and take a look? You will always recognize your original wife."

This trick was really insidious. Mrs. Shen clenched her fists under her sleeves without making a sound. Even if they were distant, they had been husband and wife for several years after all.

Shen Mingde naturally recognized her.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by King Cheng.

"What does the Ninth Princess mean by this? You want a stranger to come and see the bride I'm going to marry? Do you think I'm dead?"

The Ninth Princess had never seen Prince Cheng speak so harshly, but she still remained stubborn.

"This is also to clear the prince's name. What if this lady is Madam Shen from back then? Wouldn't you be guilty of robbing someone else's wife?"

Prince Cheng took a sudden step closer.

"Say it again."

The Ninth Princess was so frightened that she took two steps back, and her momentum weakened a lot.

"This lady said she was the cousin of the late Madam Shen, but firstly, there is no adoption document, and secondly, no witness. It is really hard to believe her just empty words."

The two sides were in a stalemate when they heard a eunuch playing a long note outside.

"The Emperor has arrived."

The empress dowager was slightly stunned. Who could report the news so quickly that it reached Emperor Ming's ears so quickly.

But seeing that Emperor Ming was still in his court clothes and had no time to change, and that Ning Su and the Crown Prince were following behind him, Princess Ninth clenched her fingers suddenly.

In order to rescue Shen Nanqiao, he actually alarmed Emperor Ming!

Emperor Ming stepped forward quickly, paid his respects to the Queen Mother, then turned to look at the people in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Prince Cheng, smiling and teasing.

"I heard that Prince Cheng's old house was on fire. Did you have any desire?"

Prince Cheng bowed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Mrs. Shen's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She had never expected to see Emperor Ming again in such a situation.

The scenes of him testing her several times were still vivid in her mind. She must not take it lightly. With the help of the wide robe, she pinched her palms and tried to calm down.

Emperor Ming shifted his gaze from Madam Shen to Shen Nanqiao, looked at him carefully, and frowned slightly.

"Speaking of you, the new bride, does look somewhat similar to the late Mrs. Shen." As he said this, he slowly walked over.

Mrs. Shen felt her mind go blank, her palms were sweating, and she even forgot to breathe.

Emperor Ming walked closer and closer, and finally stood in front of her.

Madam Shen took a deep breath secretly and bowed to Emperor Ming generously.

"This common woman greets His Majesty."

Shen Nanqiao also broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously looked at Ning Su, but the other party gave her a look that urged her to stay calm.

It was not so obvious when viewed from a distance, but when he got closer, Emperor Ming was obviously stunned. The man in front of him was indeed 80% similar to the old friend, but that person did not have such a respectful look.

He hesitated for a moment, and since Ning Su dared to bring him here, he must be absolutely sure that this person would not be the late Mrs. Shen.

"Are you twins?" Emperor Ming asked irrelevantly.

Mrs. Shen considered it for a moment.

"Your Majesty, my sister is two years older than me. We have the same father and mother."

Ning Su handed over a document at the right time.

"I have sent someone to my mother-in-law's hometown as fast as I can and got the family tree from the clan leader. Please review it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Ming took the family tree and saw that it indeed stated that the second daughter of the Shen family was adopted by her uncle.

He recalled Prince Cheng's admiration for Madam Shen, and then looked at the person in front of him who looked almost exactly like his deceased sister. He was already about 70% convinced. This was probably transference.

When there is love, it can overcome any difficulty. At this moment, he had a subtle feeling of empathy, so he reached out and patted Prince Cheng on the shoulder, then turned to the Queen Mother and said.

"My father has repeatedly told me to treat the princes well, especially Prince Cheng. He has been alone for so many years, and it is not easy to find one. I hope my mother will help him."

The Ninth Princess was afraid that the Queen Mother would really agree due to the situation, so she stepped forward immediately.

"This family tree may not be true. Your Majesty, please think twice before acting."

She relied on the Ninth Prince's past favor and her status in the palace, so she dared to take a gamble.

Emperor Ming paused for a moment, then looked at Princess Ninth with a meaningful look.

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that the factory officials are deceiving the emperor?"

The Ninth Princess bowed slightly.

"I dare not judge the court officials rashly. I just want to say that there are too many coincidences and too many suspicious parts in this matter. It's better to be cautious, isn't it..."

"Isn't it more suspicious that the Ninth Princess insisted that my mother was resurrected?" Shen Nanqiao said innocently, "Or does the Princess know that there is a way to revive the dead? That really shouldn't be hidden. Tell it quickly so that the Queen Mother and the Emperor can also benefit."

The Ninth Princess was choked by her words, but she was not impatient.

"In my opinion, we should call Minister Shen to identify the person. If it's not him, that would be the best. But if it is, it can also help Prince Cheng avoid a joke."

Prince Cheng's face turned pale, and just as he was about to step forward, he was gently stopped by Madam Shen.

She raised her eyes and looked at the Ninth Princess.

"Princess, what you mean is that as long as Minister Shen comes to identify me, this matter can come to an end, right?"

Shen Nanqiao could not hide his surprise. How could his mother agree to this? Shen Mingde would definitely accuse her.

The Ninth Princess smiled hypocritically.

"Madam, what are you talking about? I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. It's just that something is fishy, ​​and I am doing it for the sake of the royal family's reputation. As long as the original husband can prove it, the truth will come out."

Madam Shen turned around and bowed to Emperor Ming.

"Then please ask the emperor to ask Minister Shen to confront him." She smiled faintly, "Since you want to marry, you should do it legitimately and not let Prince Cheng be humiliated."

The Ninth Princess showed a trace of complacency on her face, but then she heard Madam Shen suddenly speak again.

"The princess is using morality as a pretext to insist on doing this, but what if there is no evidence of this happening?"

Shen Nanqiao was surprised. His mother was so confident. Could it be that she had some evidence in her hand?

She glanced at her mother's calm expression.

"The princess just said that if there is no such person in the backyard of my house, she will kowtow and admit her mistake." Shen Nanqiao smiled shyly, "In the end, she didn't find anyone, and she just patted her butt and left. I advise my aunt not to bother with her, it will be useless."

But the Ninth Princess's face darkened visibly, and all eyes in the room were focused on her.

***, who had been watching from the sidelines, chuckled.

"That's perfect. If the confrontation doesn't produce any results, let the ninth wife kneel down together with the others."
