The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

After Zhao Zhen came in, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Wan sitting safely in the chair.

When Zhao Zhen found out that the emperor did not make things difficult for his wife, he was not as anxious as before.

"The son pays respects to his father!"

The emperor glanced at Zhao Zhen and said, "Prince, why are you here at this time instead of dealing with state affairs?"

Of course the emperor knew Zhao Zhen's intention. He was unhappy that Zhao Zhen favored his wife, so he would make some sarcastic remarks about him whenever he had the chance.

Zhao Zhen was not annoyed. His daughter-in-law was fine. It was harmless to let his old father satisfy his craving for food.

"Father, I heard that Concubine Shu speculated that the miscarriage of the concubine in the Second Prince's mansion was related to the Eastern Palace, so I came here to listen!"

Zhao Zhen directly used the second prince instead of his second brother.

The emperor glared at Concubine Shu with dissatisfaction. He actually couldn't understand Concubine Shu's train of thought.

After he died, the second son's family would have to rely on the new emperor for survival, but she, on the other hand, was completely unable to see the situation clearly.

He must offend the prince to death.

What good will it do for the Second Prince to stir up trouble between the two brothers?

When Concubine Shu received the emperor's gaze, she felt dissatisfied, but in front of Zhao Zhen, she lacked confidence and was not as arrogant as when facing Qin Wan.

"The matter has not been concluded yet. However, we have the testimony of eunuch He Huan. We need to have a good confrontation with the Eastern Palace's chief companion, eunuch Gao."

Zhao Zhen nodded, "If that's the case, I'd also like to come and listen to He Huan's testimony."

Zhao Zhen's attitude in the Taiji Hall was very casual. He simply moved a chair and sat next to Qin Wan.

The emperor glanced at it casually, snorted in his heart, and pretended not to see it.

Zhao Zhen's hand was quietly holding Qin Wan's hand, but it was covered by the wide sleeves.

Qin Wan glared at Zhao Zhen. At this time, this person was still bothering her.

However, Zhao Zhen only found Wanwan interesting, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The emperor suddenly regretted agreeing to let the prince in. It was totally an eyesore to him.

He glared, "Where's the person? Why haven't you brought him up yet?"

The young eunuch in the hall immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will go over and urge them."

"Go!"

At this time, Feng Shun's voice came from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, He Huan is here."

"Bring it in!"

Soon, a eunuch covered in wounds was brought in. He was probably in his forties and looked rather miserable. When he knelt on the ground, blood stains actually seeped out.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Shufei, is this the witness you mentioned?"

Zhao Zhen said in a cold tone: "Father, I'm afraid this man was tortured into confessing!"

Concubine Shu did not expect Liu Fuhai to be so cruel. She was secretly angry and said, "Your Majesty, I did not know He Huan was so badly injured."

The chief eunuch He Huan knelt on the ground, muttering, "I am guilty, I am guilty..."

The emperor was very angry. He originally thought that Concubine Shu already had solid evidence, which was why she dared to confront the Eastern Palace so blatantly. But what is happening now?

With just this little brain of yours, you still want to cause trouble?

For a moment, the emperor began to doubt himself.

He used to think that Concubine Shu was smarter than the Queen, so he gave her the responsibility of the harem.

Now it seems that these two people are the same.

On the contrary, it was Qin, whom he used to look down upon, who, at critical moments, was very useful in using her brain and her mouth was like a blade, capable of stabbing anyone she wanted to.

Compared to this, it seems like his vision is so poor.

When the emperor thought of this, he felt very unhappy.

"Shu Fei, is this your witness? He looks stupid to me."

Shufei's subordinates failed to complete their tasks, and she became anxious, "He Huan, but you were instructed by Gao Daban to let your godson Xu Hai frame Concubine Pan?"

He Huan seemed like a robot that had received instructions, "It was Gao Daban who ordered it, it was the Crown Princess who ordered it, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered it......"

Concubine Shu didn't care about the credibility of He Huan's words, "Your Majesty, He Huan has already confessed!"

The emperor slammed the table heavily, "Shufei, are you taking me for a fool? How dare you deceive me like this!!"

The emperor felt like a fool and was fooled, and he started coughing violently again.

Zhao Zhen immediately stood up, came to the emperor, and patted his back, "Father, calm down, your health is more important!"

Suddenly, the sound of the emperor coughing was heard in the hall.

Shufei felt very wronged at this time. She really didn't know that the witness He Huan was beaten like this.

"Your Majesty, I was deceived by the servants below. It was Liu Fuhai who gave me the testimony of a witness.

After seeing this, I asked Your Majesty to make the decision, and that’s when I started to suspect the East Palace.”

"Your Majesty, I have also been deceived!"

Concubine Shu knew that the situation was hopeless and she had to regain the emperor's trust in her.

She was really afraid that the emperor would take back her power over the palace because of this incident.

"If Your Majesty does not trust me, you can call Liu Fuhai, the eunuch chief of Xianfu Palace, and Your Majesty can ask him in person."

At this point, Concubine Shu glanced at Zhao Zhen again and said, "However, if Your Majesty wants to see Liu Fuhai, you have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. My eunuch chief steward has been captured by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Shufei seemed to be begging for mercy, but she was also accusing Zhao Zhen.

The emperor looked at Zhao Zhen and asked, "Did you capture the maid from Xianfu Palace?"

The emperor knew that the prince would not do this if there was nothing else.

He now felt that something had happened that he was unaware of.

Also, although Shufei is also stupid, she acted a little hastily in suing the Crown Princess today.

I didn't know what the witness looked like, I just ran over here.

This is so unusual!

Zhao Zhen originally thought that the emperor was in poor health and decided not to expose the matter of Concubine Shu for the time being.

But now she bumped into him again, so he wouldn't be polite anymore.

"Father, I have found out something. I didn't intend to tell you today. After all, it's almost the New Year!"

Zhao Zhen really wants the emperor to have a good new year.

The emperor became even more anxious when he heard what Zhao Zhen said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Zhao Zhen captured Concubine Shu's confidant and naturally found out how the child was exchanged.

"Father, I have found out that the girl born to Concubine De, now the fourth prince in the palace, is the child of Guangling Marquis's son Yao Changfeng!"

"And the reason why Prince Yao's child was able to be swapped in was because of the help of Concubine Shu, who is in charge of the harem!"

Concubine Shu's heart sank, the only thing in her mind was "it's over"!

"Prince, are you telling the truth?" The emperor was not as angry as Zhao Zhen imagined, but he was somewhat indignant.

Zhao Zhen had been observing the emperor carefully, with her arms around his back, for fear that the emperor would not be able to accept it and collapse.

But the emperor showed no signs of fainting.

"Father, I have suspected this for a long time and have been investigating. The birth time of Master Yao's child is too coincidental. Concubine De unexpectedly gave birth prematurely, and Master Yao's concubine was only eight months old, and she suddenly gave birth. This is not normal."

"Finally, the son sent someone to examine the concubine's body and found that the child was taken out by caesarean section."
