I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

When Princess Heshuo entered, Emperor Zhaowu was still reviewing memorials.

He has always been diligent and would never stop reviewing memorials.

Hearing the footsteps, Emperor Zhaowu became impatient: "Yang Defu, didn't I tell you? I will go to dinner after I finish reading these memorials. If you come to urge me again, I will punish you."

"Brother, it's me."

Looking up and seeing Princess Heshuo, Emperor Zhaowu's tired face showed a rare smile: "It's Heshuo, how come you have time to come to see me now?"

Princess Heshuo had already thought of a preface: "Royal brother, I have been studying medicine recently and looking through the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital. Among them, there is one thing I don't understand clearly, and I can't get the answer from others, so I thought of asking you, Royal brother, and I hope you can solve my doubts for me."

"You said."

"Seventeen years ago..."

When Princess Heshuo Chang said this, she saw Emperor Zhaowu's hand tightening around the red brush.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot: "...The pulse of the emperor's sister-in-law is normal. Why did you stab the doctor who examined the pulse of the emperor's sister-in-law to death?"

The red pen in Emperor Zhaowu's hand broke.

He lowered his head, his expression darkening: "Heshuo, go back."

Princess Heshuo understood that what happened back then was also a painful experience for Emperor Zhaowu.

He didn't want to recall.

But at this moment, she had to ask: "Brother, you are not the kind of person who takes human life lightly. Why did you kill the imperial physician when he was clearly not at fault?"

"I killed him because he deserved to die. He couldn't even protect my son, so doesn't he deserve to die?"

"Brother, you..."

Princess Heshuo had barely opened her mouth when Emperor Zhaowu shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhaowu was on the verge of rage, Princess Heshuo did not dare to linger any longer and bowed hurriedly: "Brother, calm down. I will take my leave."

After saying this, Princess Heshuo walked out.

But not far out of the Qinzheng Hall, she saw Yang Defu.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Yes, Yang Defu has served his brother the Emperor for many years. When the Emperor’s sister-in-law gave birth to a child, Yang Defu was also present.

He must know what happened that year.

"Eunuch Yang."

"Oh, Your Highness, the Princess. I have met you..."

Without waiting for Yang Defu to salute, Princess Heshuo personally helped him up and said politely, "Eunuch Yang, there is something I need to ask you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Princess Heshuo dismissed the people following Yang Defu and asked directly in a low voice without beating around the bush: "Seventeen years ago, when the emperor learned that his sister-in-law had given birth to a stillborn baby, his brother ordered the execution of the midwife and the imperial physician. So, before his brother gave the order, did anyone tell him anything?"

According to her and Cui Shuyan's speculation, if the baby swapping really happened, then the midwife and the imperial physician would definitely have been bribed.

However, in that situation, if one tried to get rid of the midwife and the imperial physician afterwards, it would be too conspicuous.

This is because, if these people were dead, people would naturally think that there was something fishy about the queen giving birth to a dead baby, which would attract investigations from many parties.

However, if others got rid of the midwife and the imperial physician, it would arouse suspicion, but Emperor Zhaowu would not do that.

He is the emperor, and if he wants to kill someone, no one dares to say anything.

What's more, his legitimate son was born stillborn, which was worthy of anger.

So, in that situation, the safest approach would be to encourage Emperor Zhaowu to kill the midwife and the imperial physician.

However, after listening to Princess Heshuo's words, Yang Defu shook his head again and again: "Your Highness, it's been so long, I don't remember it."

"Eunuch Yang, if you can't even remember these things, can you still hold the position of Chief Eunuch?"

Yang Defu's attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to say anything.

Sure enough, seeing Princess Heshuo's words, Yang Defu smiled apologetically and said politely, "Your Highness, since it has been so long, what's the point of asking about it now? Besides, this matter has always been a pain in your heart, and you don't want it to be mentioned. This old servant dare not overstep his authority."

Princess Heshuo glared at him and walked away.

It seems that checking from this angle doesn't work.

On the other side, after Cui Shuyan returned to the palace, she played with Ze'er for a while.

When Ze'er felt sleepy, Qiaoya came over and carried him to sleep.

At this time, Cui Shuyan noticed that Qiaoya's eyes were red, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Qiao Ya smiled at Cui Shuyan, "My eyes just felt uncomfortable, so I rubbed them a few more times."

"No, you look like you've been crying."

"What is that? My life is so good right now, why would I cry?"

After saying that, Qiaoya carried Ze'er out.

She walked briskly, as if nothing was wrong.

However, Cui Shuyan still kept a little bit of caution and told Shi Liu: "Shi Liu, go and ask Qiao Ya what she is saying and see what's wrong with her."

"Yes."

When she returned to her room after taking a shower, Xie Xingyuan was already lying on the bed.

Seeing his eyes shining and constantly wandering over her body, Cui Shuyan knew that she couldn't escape tonight.

After a while of having sex, Cui Shuyan called for some water and lay weakly in Xie Xingyuan's arms, saying angrily, "Just this once, I'm very tired today."

"Yeah." Xie Xingyuan responded, hugging Cui Shuyan in his arms with heartache, "It's so tiring to be in the palace. If someone invites you to the palace again in the future, just find a reason to refuse. We don't want to suffer this."

Cui Shuyan closed her eyes and smiled: "You are quite open-minded. If it were someone else, knowing that his wife had the opportunity to enter the palace, I'm afraid he would wish to go more often."

"With my current status and position, do I really need you to do anything? My wife, just stay as my wife."

Cui Shuyan felt relieved after hearing this.

Knowing that Xie Xingyuan was a tight-lipped person, she told him everything that had happened in the past two days, hoping that he would help her with some advice.

After listening to this, Xie Xingyuan also frowned: "If this is true, it is too sensational."

"Who said it wasn't true? I am also a mother. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, the Queen will have a knot in her heart for the rest of her life. So I also want to do my best to investigate this matter, but now I have investigated everything I should have, but I still have no clues."

As she spoke, Cui Shuyan hugged Xie Xingyuan even tighter.

When people are helpless, they always want to be close to their loved ones.

It seems that this can dispel the unhappiness and gloom in one's heart.

Xie Xingyuan also hugged her tightly and comforted her: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. You have done your best, so don't think too much."

As he spoke, Xie Xingyuan moved closer and kissed Cui Shuyan on the lips to comfort her.

In an instant, Cui Shuyan, who had closed her eyes tightly, opened them suddenly. She looked at Xie Xingyuan's lips, and her eyes gradually brightened up. She got it!
