Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He walked quickly forward and took Rongpin's arm.

Concubine Rong looked at him infatuatedly, her eyes filled with resentment.

She couldn't help but ask, "The Emperor is protecting the Empress like this because he's afraid Rong'er will take revenge on her?"

Emperor Sheng'an's expression suddenly changed. He frowned and scolded, "Rong'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Why do you want to take revenge on the Queen?"

Rongpin sneered, "Because you knew that what happened back then was done by the Queen's people, that's why you kept it a secret and delayed giving me an explanation, allowing me to become depressed and crazy!"

Emperor Sheng An angrily pushed her away. "You're talking nonsense! Where did you hear these rumors? It's been so long, why are you digging them up?"

Rongpin cried, "Is it so difficult for me to get the truth? That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. It's the one you've been waiting for, right?"

The Queen anxiously inquired, "What child? What are you talking about? How come I don't know, Your Majesty?"

Seeing the Queen's surprised eyes, Emperor Sheng An soothed her gently, "It's okay, you don't need to understand this. You must be tired. I'll have someone help you go back and rest first!"

Lin Yiwan spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, you should give them an explanation. You thought you were protecting the Queen, but in the end, you made her suspicious. This will also cause grudges between you and your wife!"

Before Emperor Sheng'an could say anything, the Empress quickly walked up to Concubine Rong and said, "The Emperor won't tell you, so you tell me what's going on. What happened to your child?"

Rongpin lowered her eyes and saw the Queen's bulging belly. She couldn't help but sneer, "Back then, I was also pregnant like the Queen. The Emperor and I were looking forward to the arrival of this child all the time!"

The Queen frowned and was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Something happened to your child, and you suspect it was me?"

Rongpin raised an eyebrow: "Then we have to ask the emperor, what did he find out back then?"

The Queen's voice could not help but rise: "Your Majesty, you speak!"

Emperor Sheng An finally spoke, "I did find out back then. When Concubine Rong gave birth, someone swapped her daughter with five giant red-haired rats!"

The queen's body was staggering. She had never expected that Concubine Rong would go through such a thing.

She asked anxiously, "So the mastermind behind the incident you finally found out was someone close to me?"

Emperor Sheng An nodded and said, "It was Nanny Liu, the personal wet nurse you brought into the palace with you. When I tortured her, she said that she was under your instructions. Because you couldn't bear the pain of losing your son, you didn't allow other concubines in the palace to bear my children. The princess was thrown into the moat and drowned!"

The Queen angrily retorted, "I didn't, Your Majesty. Why didn't you ask me first about such a serious matter? I'm a mother. I understand the pain of losing a child. How could I harm someone else's child?"

The emperor froze for a moment. When he found out about Madam Liu, he wanted to ask the empress!

But she had locked herself in the Buddhist temple at that time, crying all day long, and he didn't want to make her situation worse.

He feels sorry for her!

Now, seeing her tear-stained eyes, he subconsciously said, "Queen, please don't be angry. I was careless back then!"

The Queen sighed helplessly, "Because of your carelessness, you drove Rong'er insane and made her hate me for so many years. You owe us this!"

The emperor was very positive and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. He said without hesitation, "It's my fault. I will make it up to you later!"

Rongpin asked, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to make amends? Now that Nanny Liu is dead, where will you go to find the real culprit?"

The Queen spoke quickly, "You don't need to ask him. He was probably completely confused when he found out about Nanny Liu. He just thought he had killed her. That's how he explained it to you!"

Emperor Sheng An widened his eyes in shock. It turned out that the empress understood him. This was indeed what he thought at that time.

He really wanted to ask the Queen, "Are you the worm in my stomach?"

But he felt that the occasion was not right, so he had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The Queen glared at him resentfully, "Madame Liu has taken care of me since I was little. She is loyal to me. To be able to secretly instruct her to act behind my back, that person must have grasped her weakness!"

Lin Yiwan was shocked. She asked excitedly, "So there must be someone who knows about this matter. That's Aunt Liu's weakness?"

The Queen nodded and said, "Yes, she had just given birth to a son when she entered the palace as a wet nurse. That's why she has plenty of milk and is very trusted by my mother!"

Lin Yiwan said quickly, "Your Majesty, go find Nanny Liu's son now and interrogate him about what happened back then. That way, by verifying each other's facts, won't you be able to uncover the truth?"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and pondered: "The capital is so big, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

He paused and then spoke again: "How about waiting for Zhan Yan to come back? After all, it involves the secrets of the royal family, and I don't feel comfortable handing it over to others!"

Lin Yiwan almost rolled her eyes at Emperor Sheng An. Could he not live without Zhan Yan?

Those who know them think that they are king and subject, while those who don’t think that they have some unclear relationship.

She reminded him without hesitation: "Your Majesty, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Not to mention that the Marquis is still on his way back to the capital, even if he really comes back, you can't just use him. Isn't he tired?"

The Queen also scolded, "Your Majesty, don't we still have the Supreme Court Justice Lin Ran? Don't you trust him?"

Emperor Sheng An raised his hand and slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I actually forgot about Lin Ran. I'll leave the matter of Lin Yiwan to you. Leave the palace immediately and ask your uncle to find the whereabouts of Liu Ma's son!"

Lin Yiwan did not refuse. Now that the poison in her uncle's body had been cured, he was in a difficult recovery period. Finding something for him to do would just help relieve his anxiety.

The Queen looked at Lin Yiwan and said, "When Madam Liu was alive, she said his son's name was Shi Jian. Ask him to go to Daimao Hutong and ask if there's such a person!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but gasp when she heard this. Daimao Hutong was the most chaotic street in the capital.

The people living there are either staying with relatives or in trouble, and many more come from surrounding towns to make a living.

It is extremely difficult to find Shi Jian in such a dirty and messy environment.

She looked at Rongpin and said, "Your Majesty, now that the misunderstanding between you and the Queen has been resolved, I will leave the palace to look for someone. Wait for my news!"

Rongpin nodded vigorously: "Okay, Madam Hou, I hope you won't keep me waiting in vain!"

Lin Yiwan smiled bitterly: "How could that be? Whether Shi Jian is dead or alive, I have to give you an explanation!"

After saying that, she bowed and prepared to leave.

Emperor Sheng An stopped her and said, "It's so late, I'll let Li Youde personally escort you out of the palace!"

As he spoke, he led Lin Yiwan out of the palace.

After walking for a while in silence, Lin Yiwan spoke softly, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to say to me? We've come so far now, the Empress and Concubine Rong certainly can't hear you!"
