My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

"Fertility-enhancing pill? That's a good thing. The late queen gave birth to a prince after taking it." Ye Qinghuan said.

Mu Qing shook her head: "You don't know, that thing is harmful to the body. That's why the late queen was seriously injured after giving birth, and she passed away within a few years."

“But the prince can’t blame ***, right? If there was no fertility pill, how could he exist?” Ye Qinghuan felt conflicted from the bottom of his heart.

The former queen was infertile, and only gave birth to the prince thanks to the fertility pill. It's fine if others blame ***, but the prince shouldn't blame *** for this, right?

"Do you know why the late queen couldn't have children?" Mu Qing asked.

Of course Ye Qinghuan didn’t know.

"It was also done by ***."

"what?"

Ye Qinghuan was shocked. Didn't the late queen become infertile because she was trying to protect the emperor?

"*** had once been attracted to the son of the Meng family, but because the Meng family already had a queen, they couldn't have another prince consort, so she felt resentful.

During an autumn hunt one year, she set up a plan to kill Queen Meng so that she could marry the young master of the Meng family as her husband.

But Queen Meng was not feeling well that day and did not go hunting. Instead, the Emperor joined the hunt.

On the brink of life and death, Queen Meng descended from the sky and blocked the tiger's claws for the emperor, wounding her in the lower abdomen. "

Mu Qing couldn't help trembling when she talked about the situation at that time.

Ye Qinghuan was afraid and asked, "How did Sister Mu know all this?"

"I was only five years old at the time, and Imperial Concubine Rou took me out to play." Mu Qing said, "In fact, everyone who knew the inside story was killed. I had Imperial Concubine Rou to protect me, and I was young, so everyone thought I would not remember."

"But the Queen was badly injured at the time, so you still remember it?"

"Yes."

Ye Qinghuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and knelt down to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing hurriedly helped her up: "Sister Ye, why are you doing this?"

"Sister Mu knew that I was testing her, yet she still told me everything..." Ye Qinghuan felt embarrassed and regretted not being honest from the beginning.

If Mu Qing hadn't seen through her thoughts, how could she have revealed the secret that had been buried in her heart for more than twenty years?

"Sister Ye, don't worry. I have my own selfish motives." Mu Qing said with a smile, "My aunt is pregnant. But the emperor's body may not be able to sustain her child until she grows up. So in the future, please take care of me, Sister Ye and the general."

"We will definitely do our best."

Ye Qinghuan felt relieved.

Sisters help each other so that they don’t owe each other anything.

----

It was getting dark and the maids began to light the lamps.

Shen Lin has not returned home yet.

Old Madam Shen sent people to urge him several times, which made Ye Qinghuan even more anxious.

With all the evidence, the emperor still wants to protect the traitor. Will Shen Lin take the middle way or argue with reason?

But who can compete with the emperor?

"Madam, I'm back!"

Finally, Shen Lin was sent back by Xia Xiao. Although he looked tired, he was in good condition overall, and Ye Qinghuan felt relieved.

"Second sister-in-law, the emperor has kept my second brother in the palace to see the imperial physician. Although the poison cannot be cured, my second brother's injuries are no longer serious. The emperor also said that my second brother can take a seven-day leave and does not need to go to court again." Xia Xiao said.

Ye Qinghuan nodded: "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, sister-in-law. I'll go home first. If you need anything, just let someone tell you."

"it is good."

Xia Xiao respectfully took his leave.

Ye Qinghuan was about to close the door and tell Shen Lin what Mu Qing had said, when Old Madam Shen and Nanny Qin rushed into Linglong Pavilion in a hurry: "Lin'er, have you told the emperor about Rong'er?"

"Everyone is dead, what else is there?" Shen Lin asked back unhappily.

"You rebellious son! He is your own brother! He died tragically in prison, and you didn't even ask a question? How can you be a brother?" Old Madam Shen had been holding back her anger for days, and finally erupted. She waved her crutch and was about to hit Shen Lin.

Ye Qinghuan couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to catch the cane: "Mother, didn't you see that the general was seriously injured? Or will mother be satisfied only if she beats him to death?"

Old Madam Shen was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that the layers of gauze on Shen Lin's chest were faintly stained with blood. His mental state was not as good as before.

The old man looked a little guilty: "Lin'er, mother didn't see it just now..."

"How could mother see that? In mother's heart, there is only Shen Rong." Shen Lin's face was cold.

"Weren't you born after my pregnancy? How can you say that?" Old Madam Shen was embarrassed, but she didn't dare to get angry anymore. She said slowly, "Rong'er's body is still in prison. Go and bring him back tomorrow and give him a good funeral. Let him be born into a good family in his next life!"

“I can’t answer it.”

Shen Lin looked at his mother expressionlessly, "How did he die? Mother doesn't know? And you're holding a big funeral? Does mother want the entire Shen family to be buried with him?"

"He was tortured into confessing and forced to die..."

Old Madam Shen wanted to defend her youngest son but was interrupted by Shen Lin.

"That's enough! Mother, stop deceiving yourself. He just wanted to kill me, and the truth has been revealed. Otherwise, I would be the one having a funeral today!"

"What he and *** did was also exposed. Now we have witnesses and evidence. Ye Qinglan even went to the palace to accuse him of using poison to cause me to lose my inner strength, which has not recovered yet."

"Mother, except for ***, no one escaped unscathed. Even Xu Changqing died. He was thrown directly into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs."

Old Madam Shen shuddered, unable to accept that Shen Rong was also thrown into a mass grave to feed wild dogs.

She said with tears in her eyes: "Lin'er, you can't let Rong'er die without dignity. At least let him be buried, a simple burial is fine. I won't invite a magician, just let him be buried in the ancestral tomb!"

"Go and ask the emperor not to throw him into a mass grave... Rong'er has been afraid of dogs since he was a child."

"Lin'er, mother has never asked you for anything in her life. You must agree to this. Okay?"

Ye Qinghuan was upset after hearing this and really wanted to kick Madam Shen out.

Shen Lin looked at his mother in silence.

"Lin'er, mother begs you..." Old Madam Shen wiped her tears. Seeing that Shen Lin still didn't speak, she raised her voice, "Do you want me to kneel down for you?"

"In fact, my mother has asked me for many things and made many requests of me. But she doesn't remember them all." Shen Lin shook his head gently, "Forget it, I agree to this matter."

"Good good!"

Old Madam Shen cried with relief.

But when he thought that his youngest son could not be buried in the Shen family's ancestral tomb, he felt extremely sad.

Finally, she left after being comforted by Nanny Qin.

Ye Qinghuan poured water for Shen Lin and asked softly, "Did you have a smooth journey into the palace?"

"It wasn't going smoothly, but the prince is now in power and the emperor has given in." Shen Lin sighed, not wanting her to worry about those things, and asked, "I heard that Mu Qing came today? Are you happy?"

"Gladly. I was just about to tell the General about this."

Ye Qinghuan told all about the entanglement between the late queen and her husband.

Shen Lin's face changed drastically: "How could that be?"
