She pretended to be completely clueless, "I've thought about it carefully, and it must be...ever since the day I had sex with you, I feel like her personality has suddenly changed."

She frowned and recalled: "Before that incident happened, you and Sheng Yunrou were about to get engaged, and Wen Tingyun and I had also agreed to get married."

"After I returned to the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrou often boasted in front of me, saying that although she and I were born on the same day, month, and year, our destinies were very different."

"She is the Phoenix Girl of Heaven, and I am the Star of Misfortune. She is about to marry His Majesty's most beloved prince, the one most likely to ascend the throne, while I can only marry a poor scholar."

"At that time, she looked down on Wen Tingyun from the bottom of her heart and was proud to marry you."

"But..." Sheng Nanzhi frowned, "But you were there when that incident happened, and you heard with your own ears what Sheng Yunrou said at the time."

Shi Huaizhi naturally remembered: "She said that she hoped for a lifelong love between two people and didn't want to share a husband with you."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "But she already knew about the concubines in your mansion. She felt that once she married into the family, she would be the prince's wife, and she didn't care about the concubines."

"But she suddenly changed her mind at that moment, wanting a lifelong relationship with me, wanting to swap marriages with me, and marrying Wen Tingyun, whom she had always looked down upon."

"That's why I first thought she was a little strange."

"The second time was when she was married to Wen Tingyun. She was switched and thrown into a brothel, where she had sex with His Majesty."

"When she found out that the person she slept with was His Majesty, she caused a huge uproar in the palace."

"She kept scolding His Majesty, saying that he was an old man, older than her father, and that there was no way she could enter the palace."

"And they said His Majesty has 3,000 concubines..."

She paused and said, "Anyway, the scolding was very ugly."

"At that time, Sheng Lin even thought that Sheng Yunrou had suddenly been stimulated and gone crazy."

"Sheng Lin asked me to visit Sheng Yunrou and help persuade her. I went, but I felt that although Sheng Yunrou acted a little crazy at the time, she was not really crazy."

"But... Sheng Yunrou is Sheng Lin's daughter, whom he has carefully nurtured for over a decade as his future queen."

"Even if she really went crazy, I don't think she, as the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, would dare to curse His Majesty like that."

"That was the second time. I felt that Sheng Yunrou was really not right."

"The third day was after Sheng Yunrou performed those bizarre actions in the palace, as you just said."

Sheng Nanzhi frowned, pretending to be puzzled, and threw the question back to Shi Huaizhi: "Why do you think Sheng Yunrou became like this?"

"If she wasn't replaced by someone else, then the only explanation for her abnormality is that she was possessed by a ghost."

"Possessed by a ghost?" Shi Huaizhi smiled faintly, only curling the corners of his mouth: "Princess, what you said is really interesting, but it is also true. Sheng Yunrou's previous appearance did look like she was possessed by a ghost."

Sheng Nanzhi avoided Shi Huaizhi's gaze and didn't dare to meet his. Shi Huaizhi was really too perceptive. If she wasn't careful, she would be easily fooled and tricked by him.

"So, Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?"

"How to deal with Sheng Yunrou who seems to be crazy?"

"And what about Sheng Qingqian? And what about Wen Tingyun and Du Qiyu?"

"And Sheng Lin, isn't the emperor already suspicious of him?"

Shi Huaizhi took Sheng Nanzhi's facial expressions and reactions into consideration, knowing full well that Sheng Nanzhi must know something but was just unwilling to reveal it to him.

He is in no hurry.

He will always be able to wait until the day when Sheng Nanzhi is willing to open her heart to him and tell him everything.

"Sheng Yunrou..."

"It was probably because Sheng Yunrou's manipulation of the blood test results in front of the emperor attracted the emperor's attention, and the emperor abolished her position as a concubine and banished her to the cold palace."

"And Sheng Qingqian was directly imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for the crime of confusing the royal bloodline."

"Wen Tingyun and Du Qiyu are fine. The emperor is just suspicious of them. He has no concrete evidence to prove that Du Qiyu lied to him and that Wen Tingyun is not his son. Therefore, the emperor only ordered them to be confined to their homes, which can be regarded as house arrest."

"As for Sheng Lin..."

Shi Huaizhi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Sheng Lin was accused of not raising his daughter properly and was punished to go to Huaizhou to deal with the banditry in Huaizhou."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyebrows. The others were fine, but Sheng Yunrou...

The emperor's punishment for Sheng Yunrou was too lenient.

"Sheng Yunrou was just banished to the cold palace?"

Shi Huaizhi nodded and reminded: "Sheng Yunrou is still carrying the prophecy of the Phoenix Lord of Heaven."

"Adding to this blood test and the peculiarities Sheng Yunrou has shown, the emperor probably still has some use for her."

This is true.

She forgot that Sheng Yunrou was the Phoenix Lord of Destiny.

"It seems that His Majesty is truly suspicious of Sheng Lin and is sending him to Huaizhou to deal with the banditry?"

"Sheng Lin is just a civil official."

"The severity of the bandit rebellion in Huaizhou is known throughout the country. In the past twenty years since Your Majesty ascended the throne, Your Majesty has sent many people and troops to Huaizhou to deal with the bandit rebellion, but none of them have been successful, and many soldiers have been lost."

"Isn't this... sending Sheng Lin to his death?"

Shi Huaizhi nodded: "It is indeed a suicide mission. The emperor even only gave Sheng Lin 300 soldiers and horses."

"Three hundred?"

Sheng Nanzhi really couldn't help laughing.

"That's really great. I wonder what his reaction would be right now."

"I really want to see my dad when he's furious."

Sheng Nanzhi was not wrong. At this moment, Sheng Lin was angry in the Sheng Mansion.

Li Yueru and Aunt Liu both knelt on the ground, looking panicked.

Sheng Lin's face turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and he raised his hand, picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at the two of them.

"Bitch! What a good daughter you two raised!"

"They are truly amazing! One of them, a concubine of His Majesty, dares to seduce the prince!"

"And I'm afraid it's not just the prince! She doesn't even know whose bastard child she's pregnant with, but she thought it was the Seventh Prince's and went looking for him."

"A princess who was a prince's consort, yet she didn't know what was good for her. She had an affair with someone else and, after becoming pregnant, lied that the child was the Seventh Prince's!"

"Do they all want to kill me?"

"My Sheng family has been ruined by the two of them! Ruined!"

Sheng Lin became angrier the more he thought about it. He stood up, walked up to the two men, and kicked each of them several times.

Concubine Liu cried out in pain, "Master, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I am pregnant."

Sheng Lin laughed angrily: "Pregnant? Do you think you can control me just because you're pregnant?"

"If all your children turn out to be bitches like Sheng Qingqian, you might as well not give birth at all!"

Aunt Liu's face turned pale. She wanted to say that Qingqian had said that the baby in her belly must be a son.

But recalling Sheng Qingqian's current situation, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Qingqian can't be blamed for this. This is all Nanzhi's fault."
