The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

A look of panic flashed across their faces almost at the same time.

Ruan had only been here for a short while and had already seen the methods of these people, and was afraid that they would do something bad to the child.

Just as Ruan was about to stand up to stop him, she was stopped by Zhang Heng's eyes. Ruan knelt down again, but her eyes were always focused on Xiaobao's direction.

Ruan's actions did not escape Gu Jianchu's eyes.

When he saw the child, Gu Jianchu asked very cooperatively, "What's going on?"

"I met this reckless child in the palace. I asked many people, but no one knew him. I suspected that the child might be a child of a nearby farmer and accidentally broke into the palace. I didn't know what to do with him, so I brought him here and handed him over to the emperor for the decision." Wen Zhu respectfully waited for the emperor's order.

Xie Ci'an held Gu Jianchu's hand, his other arm resting naturally on Gu Jianchu's lower back. He said slowly, "Are you sure this child is just a farmer's child? Have you forgotten the dwarf that Prince Li brought back to the capital?"

Speaking of dwarfs, all the ministers present remembered that when Prince Li returned to Beijing, he asked a dwarf to pretend to be his son, deceived the emperor and the queen, and got on the emperor and queen's carriage. If the queen had not helped the emperor to block the knife, the dwarf would have hurt the emperor.

After Xie Ci'an's reminder, everyone looked at the child with a little more scrutiny.

However, dwarfs are very short, and due to their physical development, it is impossible to tell with the naked eye whether they are dwarfs or children.

However, adhering to the principle of "better to kill innocent than to let the guilty go", a minister stood up and suggested, "Your Majesty, why not hand this child over to the Imperial City Bureau for interrogation? If he's a dwarf, they can find out who is plotting against him. If he's just an ordinary child, they can release him. After all, the safety of Your Majesty and Your Majesty cannot be played with."

"I think the Right Prime Minister's suggestion is very good." Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an meaningfully.

These two people will never take the initiative to admit that the little brat in front of them is their child. We can only take advantage of the situation and force them. As long as they take the initiative to expose themselves, there is no need to find other evidence.

Xie Ci'an tapped the table lightly, immediately understanding the Queen's intention. "Then let's do as the Right Prime Minister says. Wen Zhu will take the child to the Imperial City Department and interrogate him strictly. If the child is from an ordinary family, find their parents and send them back. If the child has no parents, send them to the Left Prime Minister and let him take care of them together."

"I understand." Wen Zhu responded, picked up the child's collar and walked out.

Originally the child was quite brave, but the moment Wen Zhu lifted his feet off the ground, the kid was instantly scared. He kept struggling with his legs wide open, and his hands turned into fists and hit Wen Zhu. However, the kid's arms and legs were so small that he couldn't hit Wen Zhu at all.

"Bad guy, let me go, let me go, Daddy, help me."

Hearing the child's voice, Ruan couldn't help but struggle to stand up. Even Zhang Heng's mentality was collapsing bit by bit. After all, he now knew the methods of the Imperial City Bureau. Xiaobao's small body could not withstand the punishment of those beasts in the Imperial City Bureau.

Before Zhang Heng could struggle to get up, Wen Zhu's grip on the child's collar loosened as the child struggled, and the child fell to the ground on the lawn. Before Wen Zhu could react, the child ignored the pain from the fall and climbed up, rushing towards Zhang Heng, "Daddy, help me! He's trying to kill me! Daddy, you're so powerful! Hurry up and kill this bad guy!"

When Zhang Heng saw Xiaobao jumping into his arms and seeing all the looks coming at him, he instantly realized that the emperor and empress were not dealing with Xiaobao at all, but were clearly testing them.

The emperor and empress knew everything, even the relationship between him and Xiaobao.

The emperor and empress were indeed cruel. They exposed them bit by bit, like prey in a hunting ground. They knew they couldn't escape, but they just wanted to see them struggle to death.

"Don't be afraid anymore, don't be afraid anymore." Zhang Heng patted Xiaobao's back soothingly.

Zuo Tang's heart, which had been sinking to the bottom of the cliff, instantly sank when she heard Xiaobao's father shouting. She originally thought that she had fallen off the cliff, but she didn't expect that she was just hanging in the air, and there was a deeper pool waiting for her. Today was indeed the darkest day in her life. Not only did she lose everything, but she also saw the darkest part of human nature.

Zuo Tang stepped in front of Zhang Heng and slapped him in the face. "I thought we were childhood sweethearts, knowing each other since we were young. I didn't expect that the person who hurt me the most was also the person I know best. I didn't expect that you actually have a child. What else are you hiding from me? And who is the child's mother?"

Zuo Tang closed his eyes, his face full of agony.

Seeing his father being beaten, Xiaobao rushed out of Zhang Heng's arms and kicked Zuo Tang on the calf. With a fierce expression on his face, he pinched his waist with both hands and kicked Zuo Tang a second time. "You bad woman, if it weren't for you, how could my father and mother let go? You bad woman, you are not allowed to hit my father. If you dare to hit my father, I will beat you to death, you bad woman."

Zuo Tang looked at the child in front of her in shock and did not fight back. Her morals told her that it was not appropriate to hit a child.

The Left Prime Minister could no longer bear to watch, so he stepped forward and pushed the assailant Xiao Bao away. "It's true that the kind of person you raise determines the kind of person you raise."

Xiaobao was pushed hard by the Left Prime Minister and staggered a few steps backward. Fortunately, Zhang Heng was quick to support Xiaobao and prevent him from falling.

His calves were aching from being kicked by the child, but Zuo Tang didn't feel a thing. He just looked at Zhang Heng's face with red eyes, "Zhang Heng, I won't ask you anything else. I just want to ask you one question. You gave me the contraceptive medicine not because you don't want a child. Is it because of this child? As long as I'm infertile, you can find any excuse and take this child home naturally, right?"

Zuo Tang had previously thought that the ladies’ guesses were a bit absurd, but now he realized that they were all right.

In the past few years, she has been kept in the back house by Zhang Heng. Although her life seems to be envied by everyone, in fact, her mind is imprisoned by Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng looked at Zuo Tang in front of him dejectedly. He felt that there was no need to struggle anymore. Everything had been exposed, and he didn't know how much evidence the emperor and empress had in their hands.

He had lied to Zuo Tang for so long and now he didn't want to lie to her anymore.

Zhang Heng nodded. "That's right. I haven't let you get pregnant because of this child. I want to wait for a while, make up a random identity for this child, bring him into the mansion, and raise him by your side."
