Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 106

Chapter 106 The Fate of Concubine Shu
“Yes, Your Majesty.” At this moment, his personal eunuch, Eunuch Li, stood up and answered. Then, he turned around and went to Shuyi Palace to bring Fu Zitao.

Imperial Concubine Shu’s face was already pale when she heard that she was going to drop blood to test her marriage. At this moment, her face was even more pale. If he were to test the results, then she, Sun Shuyi, would probably be in a bad mood today. Hence, she hurriedly shouted, “Wait a moment.” Then, she stood up from her chair and knelt down in front of the Emperor in a few steps.

‘”Your Majesty, no, Tao’er is your child. You can’t listen to this woman’s words. You suspect this concubine. If you really test her with blood today, then no matter what the result is, Tao’er’s future will be ruined.” Tao’er said with tears flowing down his face as he pulled at the corner of his clothes.

But no matter how hard Concubine Shu cried, How pitiful was his performance, The current Emperor was still unmoved. He only coldly said to her, “Now, regardless of whether it is verified or not, his identity as Fu Zitao has already been suspected. After the verification, if he is truly my son, then he will still be the prince of the Great Wei Kingdom. In the future, he will also be the glory of his life. If he is not my son, then where is his future?” After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and told Eunuch Li to hurry up.

Eunuch Li saw him. He quickened his pace, After he left, the Emperor said to everyone, “At present, our Great Wei Kingdom cannot be completely defenseless against Ye Lan invading our country. Let Prince Ling lead a hundred thousand troops to retreat. I think that Ye Lan will send thirty thousand troops. Even if our Great Wei soldiers are not crowded, there is still a chance of victory with three against one.”

After King Ling heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable, so he walked out and bowed to the Emperor, saying, “Brother, follow the decree.”

Seeing that King Ling had agreed, the Great Wei Emperor nodded and replied softly,

Then he said to the crowd, “Let’s do this today. Prince Jing, the Protector General, Cui, and this child will stay. Everyone else, leave.” Right now, his mind was full of Fu Zitao’s personal matters. The so-called family shame could not be spread out. No matter what the result of the blood test was, he did not want this matter to be spread.

As for the thirty thousand soldiers of Ye Lan, he didn’t care about it at all. He thought that his Great Wei was also a great country. Even if the economy was in a temporary recession, it wasn’t as if he didn’t have any strength. He still didn’t care about the thirty thousand soldiers of Ye Lan.

“It’s Your Majesty, I’m leaving.” Everyone then retreated in order. At this moment, only Prince Jing, Fu Tianchen, Cui, Concubine Shu, the Emperor and the child were left in the hall. At this moment, Eunuch Li also brought Fu Zitao over with him. There was also an imperial physician beside him. The imperial physician had two bowls of water in his hands.

The Emperor glanced at the crowd and said, “Let’s begin. Let Imperial Concubine Shu examine the two bowls of water first. After confirming that there are no mistakes, she will drop blood on the spot to test her marriage.” In this way, no matter what the result was, she, Sun Shuyi, could not deny it.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Afterwards, the imperial physician brought two bowls of water to Shu Fei for her to examine. However, Shu Fei raised her hand and knocked over the two bowls of water. She quickly walked over and pulled Fu Zitao behind her to protect him. She shouted, “No, I don’t agree to a blood test. No one is allowed to do it.”

Looking at such a playful Concubine Shu, The Emperor already had an answer in his heart, but he still did not give up. After all, this was a woman he had doted on for many years and called himself the son of Father for two years. Therefore, he needed to find out a result. Thus, he ordered the guard outside the door, “Someone, stop Imperial Consort Shu and fetch another two bowls of water. Today, he must find out a result.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The guard answered and walked in with two more bowls of water. Then, he pulled Fu Zitao out from behind Concubine Shu and handed him to the imperial physician. Then, he placed the sword in his hand on Concubine Shu’s neck to prevent her from destroying it.

Imperial Concubine Shu was helpless. She could only watch helplessly as the Emperor dripped a drop of blood on each of the two bowls. Then, the imperial physician took a drop of blood from each of the two children’s hands. Everyone widened their eyes and saw that the two drops of blood in the two bowls were getting farther and farther away, unable to fuse. This also meant that the two children had nothing to do with the Emperor.

After the Emperor saw it, his heart burned with rage. If one of them was his child, then he could still accept it. At most, he could just lower Sun Shuyi’s status and stay in the palace. However, neither of the two children belonged to him. This meant that Sun Shuyi had betrayed him.

Thus, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He blushed and asked Imperial Concubine Shu, “Tell me, who is your biological child and who is the father of the child? I have repeatedly chosen to trust you. I have even offended Prince Duan’s Mansion and the Empress Dowager for you and forced the Empress and the Crown Prince to leave the Imperial Palace, yet you actually repaid me like this.”

Hearing that, Concubine Shu immediately knelt down in front of him and said with tears flowing down his face, “Your Majesty, this concubine also has some unavoidable difficulties. Please give me another chance. This concubine truly loves you. There are many things that this concubine cannot decide for herself.”

“Tell me, who is your child, and who is the father of the child?” The Emperor clenched his hands, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. Then he opened his eyes to look at Imperial Concubine Sun Shuyi, waiting for her to say the answer. However, after a long time, she did not say a word. She just quietly knelt on the ground and silently shed tears.

At this moment, Duanmu Jing took out a stack of letters from his bosom. He said to the Emperor, “this question, I can answer the emperor on behalf of the Consort. Two years ago, the Consort gave birth to a daughter. The father of the child was indeed not the Emperor, but the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang, Mu Lingfeng. I have a letter that the spies found in Shuyi Palace. It is the letter that the Consort and Mu Lingfeng exchanged. This is evidence of their support. ”

After the Emperor heard this, he glanced at Eunuch Li beside him. Eunuch Li immediately understood. He walked to Duanmu Jing in a few steps and took the stack of letters. He presented them to the Emperor with both of his hands. The Emperor took the letters and casually flipped through them. He saw that they were all plotting against him and the Great Wei Kingdom.

He finally couldn’t bear it anymore, so he tossed those letters to Imperial Concubine Shu’s face and scolded, “Bitch, your good deeds have wasted my sincerity in treating you, yet you are plotting against me, plotting against my country. Where is your conscience?” He couldn’t help but recall the man’s voice he heard a year ago at the entrance of the Regal Palace. After Duanmu Jing said this, the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire thought about it carefully. It really sounded like Mu Lingfeng’s voice. It turned out that they had already plotted against each other, and he couldn’t help but feel even angrier the more he thought about it.

Then he shouted to the door, “Someone, send me a decree, demote Imperial Concubine Sun to the common people, immediately bestow death, crush bones and dust, annihilate the nine races.” This is the feeling of the Tian Clan. When I love you, you are the master of all people. You can have the supreme right to look down on everyone. But when I hate you, I can make you disappear instantly without leaving even the slightest trace.

After Sun Shuyi heard this, She looked up at the emperor and calmly said, “Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, I really loved you. However, because of my status, I couldn’t help but feel relieved. In this life, I failed you. I hope that in the next life, I will definitely return your love. The emperor will take care of you and I will go.” As she spoke, she stood up and followed the guards out to accept the final outcome of her life.

Looking at her back as she walked farther and farther away, The Emperor’s heart ached. It was as if something deep-rooted was slowly being peeled off from his body. He quietly watched Sun Shuyi’s direction of departure. After an incense stick of time, along with the flames in the air, Sun Shuyi, who had harmed the Great Wei Imperial Palace, finally died. She didn’t even leave her corpse behind.

It was at this moment that the Emperor’s heart suddenly felt incomparably painful. He fainted to the ground. Then, in the middle of his forehead, a little bit of red became more and more obvious, and the area became larger and larger. Until that little bit of red broke out of his body, he fell to the ground and instantly died of exhaustion.

If Fu Yingran was here, she would definitely be able to recognize that this was the Concentrated Gu from the Southern Region.

However, everyone present had never seen such a situation before. When Eunuch Li saw the Emperor faint, he hurriedly took a few steps forward to help the Emperor up and let him lean against him. He anxiously shouted, “Emperor, wake up, don’t scare this old servant. Where’s the imperial physician? Hurry up and take a look.”

Fortunately, there was an imperial physician in the main hall. When the imperial physician heard Eunuch Li’s shout, he immediately went forward to examine the emperor’s pulse. After quietly examining his pulse, he said to the crowd, “Everyone, please rest assured, the emperor is fine. He was only angered and hurt his heart meridians. After I prescribe a few decoctions, I will naturally recover for a while.”

At this moment, the Great Wei Emperor suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at Eunuch Li and seeing his anxious expression, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. At last, he had someone who truly cared for him. Thus, he said to Eunuch Li, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry. You should send someone to the Imperial Tomb. No matter what method you use, you must bring the Empress and the Crown Prince back to the palace.”

Then he looked at the people in the hall. When he saw the two children and the Cui Clan, his hatred erupted again. So he helped Eunuch Li stand up and sat back on his dragon chair. He leaned back and said, “Someone, send me a decree to expel the Sun Clan from the Great Wei Kingdom. From now on, no one in the Great Wei Kingdom is allowed to have the surname Sun.”

Afterwards, he looked at the two children who had been hiding behind Madam Cui. It was obvious that both of them were frightened, especially Fu Zitao. In his short two years of life, he had experienced two ups and downs. As long as he had the slightest bit of wind and grass, he would instinctively hide behind others.

Looking at the little girl, she only looked at the crowd blankly. Obviously, she did not know what had happened. However, she still looked at the crowd calmly, hoping that someone could tell her what had happened. The Emperor looked at the two children’s completely different reactions. He had to admit that the two children had nothing to do with him.

Fu Zitao was timid and cowardly. She didn’t have the bearing of a royal descendant at all. This girl was very calm, but with her face alone, no one would be able to connect her with the Great Wei Emperor. Especially after learning of her background, if one looked carefully, they could see some shadows of Mu Lingfeng from her. Obviously, this was evidence that Sun Shuyi had betrayed him.

He then continued, “Since Fu Zitao’s identity has been revealed, then he is no longer my son, nor is he the prince of our Great Wei Kingdom. Although he is also a descendant of the Sun Family, his mother should exonerate him from the royal family of the Great Wei Kingdom. In the future, he can follow his mother’s surname and leave the palace immediately.”

As for this girl, She was originally born between the Sun Clan and Mu Lingfeng, “I shouldn’t have stood in this world, but the child is innocent. I recall that the heavens have a good life, so I can’t bear to attack her. I will bring her down and give her to the disciplinary nanny in the palace to teach her well. In the future, I will let her be a rough maid in the palace. In addition, I will send people to the imperial mausoleum with the imperial decree to bring the Empress and the Crown Prince back to the palace.”
