The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

When Shen Qionghua said this, other people didn't react much, but the faces of the Duke of Zhenguo and Xie Nanyuan suddenly changed, and even Luo Xiyao was shocked and stood there in a daze.

If we were to talk about the pain of the late queen's death, it would be Duke Zhenguo and Xie Nanyuan who felt the most pain.

A sister who lost her beloved sister for many years.

The other one not only carried the reputation of killing his biological mother since birth, but also never enjoyed a single day of maternal love until he was over ten years old. Even when he was young, he was in the deep palace without his mother's protection. Even though he was a prince, he suffered a lot.

And since Xie Rong could be so cruel to Xie Nanyuan, the child that the late queen risked her life to give birth to, he naturally didn't have much true love for the late queen.

The grief-stricken expressions he showed before were just for show to others.

Therefore, the ones who were most emotionally agitated by Shen Qionghua's words were Duke Zhenguo and Xie Nanyuan.

Xie Rong glanced at Shen Qionghua in surprise and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense! Royal affairs are not something you, a lowly merchant girl, can interfere in."

Xie Rong was not stupid. He admitted to killing Xie Nanyuan because Xie Nanyuan personally pointed him out; he admitted to strangling the Zhenguo Army because the Duke of Zhenguo had a letter with Chen Ke's seal on it.

But the matter of the late queen spanned nearly twenty years, all traces had been cleared, all evidence was gone, so why would he admit it?

As for his attitude towards Shen Qionghua...they have already fallen out, and the Shen family and Xie Nanyuan are in cahoots with each other, so naturally he will no longer have a good face towards Shen Qionghua.

Fortunately, Shen Qionghua didn't care about Xie Rong's attitude.

This man is very cruel.

It was probably his hand in Xie Qian'an's previous rebellion, and now he is so cruel to Xie Nanyuan.

If he treated his own son like this, did she still expect him to be nice to her, the one who went against him?

Stop dreaming!

Shen Qionghua ignored Xie Rong and looked into Xie Nanyuan's eyes. "Think carefully, if the Emperor was so afraid of the Duke, why did he allow the late Empress to become pregnant?"

"There are only two possibilities. One is that the late queen got pregnant accidentally, and the other is that the emperor wanted the late queen to get pregnant."

"If it's the first case, the Emperor is wary of the Duke and will definitely want to eliminate either you or the late Queen. If it's the second case, since he treats you this way, he probably doesn't have any real feelings for the late Queen. Then, he got her pregnant for only one purpose, which was to take advantage of the moment she gave birth to get rid of her."

"I heard you say that when the late queen was pregnant, she nearly had miscarriages several times. He is the emperor. If he really wanted to protect someone, even if there were omissions, he would not have allowed the late queen to nearly have miscarriages so many times."

"The only explanation is that he wanted to get rid of the late queen's unborn child, and he tried several times, but she dodged him each time. Or, he wanted to create the appearance of an unstable fetus in order to pave the way for her 'dystocia'."

“Even if it started out as the former, after a few failures and considerations, it turned into the latter.”

"As for why the late queen died and you lived, I think it's probably because the late queen was an adult, and you were just a baby."

"The late queen had the means to protect herself, but you, a baby, didn't. Once the late queen died, you became her only flesh and blood. Given the importance the Duke of Zhenguo held for the late queen, and the fact that the Emperor kept you by his side and had you under his control, how could the Duke of Zhenguo dare to act rashly?"

"And I am more inclined to believe that the late queen's pregnancy was accidental."

"The late Empress had been married to the Emperor for many years but had never conceived. At the time, the Emperor favored Concubine Zhou, who also had Prince An as her son. The only regret was that the Yongning Marquisate was too dilapidated to thrive."

"The late Empress has a family background, while Imperial Concubine Zhou has favor and children. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but the late Empress's pregnancy would upset this balance, completely overwhelming Imperial Concubine Zhou and her child. Furthermore, the Emperor is already wary of the Duke, so..."

"So, the best option is for my mother to die and for me to live." Xie Nanyuan said in a cold tone, and the look he gave Xie Rong was almost murderous.

He believed Shen Qionghua's words without having to think too much, because Xie Rong's reaction said it all.

The Duke of Zhenguo listened to Shen Qionghua's analysis and then looked at Xie Rong. Although his expression did not change much, the surprise and calmness in his eyes were enough to explain too many problems.

So! So that’s how it is!

He actually murdered my sister!

It's not a difficult birth at all!

The Duke of Zhenguo was filled with remorse, hating why he didn't see the clues at that time.

No wonder... No wonder something happened to that little eunuch after he went to find him.

The younger sister met Concubine Zhou before she died, but that was just a deception added by Xie Rong to be on the safe side, so that if anything went wrong, there would be someone to take the blame.

But things went smoothly and he had no doubts until the young eunuch came.

Xie Rong probably didn't expect this to happen, so he silenced the witness in time to prevent him from continuing the investigation.

He was careless. He should have thought of it earlier. Although Concubine Zhou was favored at that time, she was not omnipotent. Who else in the palace could get the news so quickly and get rid of everyone except Xie Rong, the master of the palace?

When the Duke of Zhenguo thought of what Xie Rong had done to the late queen and Xie Nanyuan, he wished he could eat his flesh alive.

"Xie Rong! You beast! Give me your life!"
