After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Chapter 143: Concubine Shu's identity revealed

Ouyang Jing's face turned pale and blue, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the teacup turned white. After a long pause, he managed to utter, "At that time... I lost my memory."

Xuanyuan Yu sneered, his eyes scornful. "Amnesia? What a plausible excuse. This prince doesn't care whether you have amnesia or not. If I find my sister, I will definitely bring her back. My Xuanyuan princess is so noble, and you, a mere new emperor of Anguo, are not a good match for her. Besides..."

He paused, his eyes sweeping across Ouyang Jing like a knife blade, "Besides, I heard that you already have a new love. Even if you still have feelings for my sister, I advise you to let go as soon as possible."

Every word was like a sharp stone, hitting Ouyang Jing's heart hard.

His fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little red.

Xuanyuan Yu said no more, stood up and left.

Outside the imperial study, a delicate little boy was kicking stones out of boredom.

"Who are you? How dare you speak to my uncle the emperor like that!" The little boy suddenly raised his head, his childish voice filled with unquestionable authority, "He is the emperor. You are so audacious, you will be beheaded!"

Xuanyuan Yu looked down at the little boy who looked like Ouyang Jing and sneered in his heart.

He is indeed a scumbag, he even has a child.

"I am the Third Prince of Xuanyuan," Xuanyuan Yu raised his chin arrogantly, "What can your emperor do to me?"

The little boy was intimidated by his fearless aura, and his momentum weakened a little, but he still said stubbornly: "Why are you so fierce! What's the big deal about bullying a child!"

At this time, Eunuch Yu rushed over, grabbed the little boy, and said to Xuanyuan Yu with an apologetic look on his face: "Third Prince, calm down. Children should not be afraid to speak. Children should not be afraid to speak!"

Xuanyuan Yu snorted coldly: "I, the third prince of Xuanyuan, naturally will not bother with a little brat." After that, he shook his clothes and walked away.

Ah Le waved his little fists at Xuanyuan Yu's receding back, and kicked his short legs, just like a little kitten with its fur standing on end.

"Bad guy! Big bad guy! Bullying me! Bullying the emperor uncle!"

Eunuch Yu grabbed him, full of anxiety.

"Oh, my little ancestor, I dare not! He is the third prince of the Xuanyuan Empire. We can't afford to offend him!"

Ah Le's face flushed red and he glared at Eunuch Yu angrily.

"Is the Xuanyuan Empire very powerful?"

Eunuch Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Of course! The Xuanyuan Empire is strong and powerful, and our Anguo... well, we can't compare! Little Ancestor, you may not understand this yet. You suddenly came to see the emperor, but did you use that big plate of yours to calculate the whereabouts of the former Crown Princess?"

When Ah Le heard this, he immediately stopped kicking and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"That's right! I figured it out! I was just about to tell His Majesty the Emperor!"

Eunuch Yu immediately smiled happily and took A Le's little hand.

"Then let's go, what are we waiting for!" He pulled Ah Le and trotted into the imperial study. Seeing Ouyang Jing's slightly sad back, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is good news! Ah Le said he figured out where the former Crown Princess is!"

Ouyang Jing turned around, a bitter smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Yu Ming, Yu Ming, how could you believe the words of a three-year-old?"

Eunuch Yu choked and then said, "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, why not listen to what Ah Le has to say?"

Ouyang Jing sighed and waved his hand.

"Okay, let him in."

Ah Le walked in with his short legs, looking at Ouyang Jing with his big black eyes, and said in a baby voice, "Uncle Emperor, the person you are looking for is far away in the sky, but also very close at hand. He is right here in the palace!"

Ouyang Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest. "Oh? Where is it?"

Ah Le pointed his little finger behind him. "Due east!"

Eunuch Yu looked in the direction Ah Le pointed, and his expression suddenly changed.

Isn’t that Yilan Palace where Concubine Shu lives?

Ouyang Jing narrowed his eyes, staring sharply at Ah Le. "How did you figure that out? Or... were you originally sent by that woman?"

Ah Le's face fell, and he said aggrievedly, "Of course my master taught me that! If the Emperor doesn't believe it, then Ah Le has no choice."

Ouyang Jing's eyes flashed with anger. "Someone! Drag this little liar away!"

Eunuch Yu quickly knelt down and hugged A Le.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think twice! Ah Le is so young. If he is given fifty lashes, he will die! And he will also be charged with the crime of child abuse!"

Ouyang Jing said angrily, "He promised this himself! I'm teaching him to keep his word!"

Eunuch Yu slumped to his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Concubine Shu is indeed suspicious! To be honest, a few days ago, Concubine Shu secretly sent people to the treasury to steal the former Crown Princess's dowry. The dowry was kept with the national treasury funds, but she only took the dowry and left the other funds alone. That's why I began to suspect that Concubine Shu is the former Crown Princess?"

Ouyang Jing stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, his anger almost bursting out: "A few days ago? The national treasury was robbed, why didn't you tell us?!"

Eunuch Yu trembled all over, banging his head heavily on the ground, making a thud. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me! When I knew it was Concubine Shu who stole the dowry, I was suspicious and didn't dare tell Your Majesty, fearing that Your Majesty would be really angry and drive away the one you love again!"

He lay on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead, leaving a puddle on the smooth floor.

Ouyang Jing clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

After a moment, he slowly unclenched his fists, took a deep breath, and spoke with an imperceptible tremor: "Then why is she unwilling to come back in her true form?"

Eunuch Yu raised his head, carefully glanced at Ouyang Jing's face, and said carefully: "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding? Moreover, it seems to me that the Concubine Shu is very short of money. She must be working outside..."

He paused, then added, "Perhaps, it's because of the misunderstanding by the Emperor back then that he still harbors resentment?"

Ouyang Jing frowned and fell into deep thought.

He did feel guilty towards her for what happened back then. Could it be that she still resented him to this day?

Eunuch Yu glanced at Ah Le secretly and whispered something in his ear.

Ale's eyes lit up, he nodded excitedly, and ran out.

Ouyang Jing looked at Ah Le's receding figure with a deep gaze. "Keep watching her and don't alert her. I'll have to ask the person in Fengyi Palace about what happened back then."

Inside the Fengyi Palace, the luxurious furnishings demonstrate the owner's nobility.

Anman fiddled with the dishes on the table boredly. The delicacies from land and sea seemed like chewing wax to her.
