C99 (1/2)

Lu JinNian listened for a long time, but his expression didn't change at all. She yawned elegantly, ”You and your majesty's intention is for your daughter to openly choose her husband.”

It didn't matter, she was already used to it, wasn't this what the Shen family did previously?

However, he was beaten by her so he didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

The culprit this time was the Ming Xuan Kingdom's boss. Even if she couldn't deal with him, she could only twitch her mouth in her heart. Was using power to suppress others impressive? However, she couldn't do it, so she could just ask for some mental damages …

He didn't forget to roll his eyes at Lu Mo Ting, ”Father's straightforward agreement must be because his daughter is going to get married. Mother will come back no matter what when she hears the news. Tsk tsk.”

Lu Mo Ting smirked. Well, that was the reason.

”When exactly?”

Lu Mo Ting frowned. ”Jin'er accepted?” He didn't even look like he was struggling in his heart, and he just accepted it like that? I, your father, had a lot of trouble in the royal study before I agreed! Aren't you being too plain!

Lu JinNian threw up his hands, ”Your majesty and father have already discussed it, so what's there to be unhappy about with your daughter? However, when will the news be made public, so that our daughter can prepare in advance? ”

”...” During this period of time, Jin'er will be fine as usual. After Lu Qingwan's marriage is over, Daddy will release the news. ”

”...”

Early that morning, Lu JinNian woke up early and began to read Mu Shu's interrogation on the confession of Princess Rong Qing's mansion's secret guard. As such, Lu JinNian knew that for the past four years, there had been no source of sale of children, so Princess Rong Qing was still able to find the reason for his children.

The palace was a lonely place. There were many maids that could not endure loneliness, and they were secretly mingling with the imperial guards, just like how eunuchs drank food from the palace maids. However, this was not the case for food, while the maids and guards could.

Princess Rongqing had specially collected those things. She had accidentally gotten pregnant, but she didn't know what to do. She would protect the maids until she was done with her work. As for the children, they would be handed over to her.

How could one hide the illegitimate child of a palace maid in the Imperial Palace? With Princess Rong Qing helping them with their children, they could only feel grateful. What they didn't know was that the child Princess Rong Qing left behind, the girl directly stuffed it into the wine jar. Once the boy was raised, they could play with him as much as they wanted after a few years.

Princess Rongqing seemed to have also realized that the status of the palace maids was not high. From the time they became pregnant to the time they gave birth, even if they lost their children in the end, they wouldn't dare to reveal it. This was a good way to obtain children.

In the confession, it even detailed Princess Rong Qing's method of torturing others. Just looking at it, there was a bloody scent. Lu Jinsheng frowned, his gaze falling onto the latter part of the confession.

Regarding the identity of these secret guards, some of them were given to Princess Rong Qing by the late emperor to protect her sister. Some were raised by Princess Rong Qing herself, while others were given to her by the second prince …

Second Prince?

Lu Jinniang immediately pulled out the information regarding the Second Prince from his mind.

The second prince Xiao Che, his mother's concubine, was only a tiny girl. Because she was adept at singing and dancing, she was spoiled for a short time and became a concubine. After passing the time to the empress, she had almost never met her own mother.

Compared to the Crown Prince, he was much more talented. It was just that his status was a bit lacking. Otherwise, the crippled Crown Prince would have reinstated as the Second Prince long ago.

However, it was very likely that the Emperor had deliberately done so in order to strike a balance with himself.

However, why did the Second Prince send the dark guards to Princess Rong Qing?
