Chapter 730 Take advantage of it
Shen Jingyu suddenly stopped, Song Tingshan's throat tightened and he stared at her.
"how?"
"In the chaos, the wife of Duke Chengguo switched her own child with the Sixth Prince." Shen Jingyu raised the corners of her lips and looked at Song Tingshan's expression expectantly.
During this period of time, she didn't dare to say that she understood Song Tingshan.
But she could see that he was a man as ambitious as she was, so sometimes, she really envied men, who, even if they were not of royal blood, could still enter the court and become officials through imperial examinations, while women's battlefield... seemed to be in the harem, where they could only survive by relying on a man.
Sure enough, she saw that Song Tingshan's eyes were dazed and dull, which was unusual for him.
Shen Jingyu stood up, looked down at him, and enjoyed the pleasure of the moment.
It was really hard to investigate what happened back then, and now she had no one to help her. After a long investigation, she still couldn't find out how he and the Sixth Prince were switched.
On purpose?
Or is it an unintentional mess?
Or is there some hidden conspiracy?
She only found out that Concubine Yao was weak and the child she gave birth to was exceptionally thin. In addition, due to premature birth, the Sixth Prince was quite thin and weak when he was born. In comparison, the wife of Duke Chengguo gave birth some time later than expected, and was frightened at the palace banquet at that time, so the child was white, plump and strong.
Therefore, although the two children were born a few months apart, it was difficult for anyone to notice anything wrong after the Wen'an Rebellion was quelled.
Moreover, she had checked and found that the palace maids and nannies who were close to the Sixth Prince had all died in the palace. It was a young eunuch in the palace who protected them.
But most eunuchs would not serve closely, so Shen Jingyu speculated that the two of them had kept the matter secret by accident.
Song Tingshan's mind was blank at this moment. He felt a huge ecstasy and indescribable excitement that seemed to turn into a huge wave to drown him.
His eyes were red, and he clenched his hands at his sides and then slowly loosened them, then clenched them again.
It was as if he was afraid that what Shen Jingyu said was just a nightmare.
"What you said, is...really?" Song Tingshan forced himself to stay calm, worried that he would fall into someone else's trap at this time.
Especially Shen Shuyi, who was so hostile to him, how could she easily give him the medicine that could prolong his life and regulate his body?
Is there any conspiracy behind this?
"I know that the prince doesn't believe it. This is the evidence I have investigated. Of course, it is not sufficient, but if the prince is interested, he can check it himself." Shen Jingyu was a smart person and didn't waste time talking to Song Tingshan.
"Besides, think carefully, how similar are you to Duke Cheng and his wife? And how similar are you to His Majesty?"
Shen Jingyu's words made Song Tingshan couldn't help but recall the appearance of Duke Chengguo.
So, the rumors at the time were not fabricated by the stepmother, nor were they groundless, but were true?
"As for the medicine, Prince, you can ask the doctor to check it. Whether you want to use it or not is your own business." Shen Jingyu said with a smile.
Song Tingshan's throat tightened, and he was about to say something when Songbai came in from outside and said hurriedly, "Sir, there is a message from the front yard saying that His Majesty has ordered you and the master to enter the palace."
Song Tingshan stood up, but his legs were numb from kneeling for too long and he almost fell down.
Shen Jingyu supported him and looked at him with a smile: "Husband, be careful."
Song Tingshan's Adam's apple slid, and he withdrew his hand uncomfortably, and said slowly: "If what you said is true, I will give you what you want."
After he finished speaking, he limped out of the ancestral hall, supported by pine and cypress trees.
Shen Jingyu stood there with a smile on her face.
I have to say, it feels really good to control other people's life and death. Although Song Tingshan may not be controlled by her, even if it's only for a moment, this feeling is indescribable.
After Song Tingshan walked out of the ancestral hall, Lou Yulan had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing him coming out, she immediately went forward and said, "Husband..."
Song Tingshan's mind was full of the two things Shen Jingyu had just said. In addition, the emperor urgently summoned him to the palace, so he had no time to deal with Lou Yulan, so he just perfunctorily said, "What's the matter? Let me talk to you when I come back."
"Husband, just now Shen Jingyu..." Lou Yulan's eyes were filled with resentment. She didn't understand how Shen Jingyu could talk to him for so long in there, but he was unwilling to even give her a glance.
Unfortunately, when Lou Yulan wanted to go forward again, Songbai stopped her: "Auntie, please stay."
Lou Yulan stood there, her face turning blue and red with anger.
At this moment, Shen Jingyu walked out. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you have to be so angry, cousin? If you have the ability to get pregnant, you still have to keep it."
Before Lou Yulan could speak, Shen Jingyu said again: "But even if he can be saved, what's the use? He's still a bastard, hahaha!"
Having said that, Shen Jingyu left with a big laugh.
Lou Yulan was very angry at the spot, and the maid beside her quickly supported her: "Auntie, be careful... don't get angry and get sick."

On the other side, Song Tingshan followed Duke Chengguo all the way into the palace.
Duke Chengguo has been annoyed whenever he sees his son in recent years. Now that he has caused such trouble, he is even more unhappy and has been criticizing him all the way.
Song Tingshan had something on his mind, but he was quite obedient.
Until the group arrived at Emperor Qianwu's study, they all paid their respects to the Emperor.
Emperor Qianwu looked at the two of them coldly. Prince Duan and Princess Hanyang were standing on the left side below. Prince Duan had a cold face and his eyes fell on Song Tingshan. It could be said that he wished he could kill him!
"Duke Chengguo, do you have anything to explain about the incident in which Prince Song and Prince Shun's mansion humiliated Princess Hanyang?" Emperor Qianwu's voice was cold and fierce, and it could be said that he was particularly dissatisfied with the Duke Chengguo's mansion and Song Tingshan.
At this critical juncture, the court is in turmoil, but they are so short-sighted that they bother him because of such trivial matters. How tactless!
"Return to your majesty, old minister..."
Before Duke Chengguo could finish his words, Emperor Qianwu interrupted him coldly: "I think you guys in Duke Chengguo's Mansion have had it too easy! That's why you're deliberately stirring up trouble!"
Duke Chengguo immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, while Song Tingshan's mind was racing, thinking about how to alleviate the emperor's prejudice against him.
After all, if he was really the emperor's son, then His Majesty's impression of him over the past period of time could be said to be extremely bad. Even if he was his biological son, it would be difficult for him to resist these prejudices.
Thinking of this, Song Tingshan felt more regretful.
Why didn't Shen Jingyu tell him earlier? If it had been earlier, when His Majesty still had pity and appreciation for him, he, the prince who had suffered since childhood, would definitely have won his sympathy.
But now, putting aside all the previous events and just talking about the matter of Princess Hanyang, I am afraid that His Majesty will be particularly displeased with him.
In this case, there is no father-son relationship after years of living together. I am afraid that even if he is really of royal blood, he will not get more for him.
No, there's no rush.
He must make good use of this opportunity and this identity...
