Chapter 472 The Emperor’s Interrogation
The Sixth Prince pinched her nose lovingly, "I'm not worried that you'll be uncomfortable, so I bought it just to make you happy!"
Shen Tian realized, "Your Highness is telling me that the Second Princess held a flower viewing banquet but excluded me?"
"Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shen Tian shook her head honestly, "What's so sad about this? I don't like to play tricks with them, and I'm happy even if they don't invite me. Besides, didn't His Highness let me watch the show with peace of mind? She, Zhao Wanyi, can still be so arrogant. Until when!”
Murong Chen is happy, "It's good if you can figure it out!"
The second princess felt aggrieved when copying scriptures and could not fool the Queen Mother. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, so she handed a sign to the palace, hoping to ask the Queen to help her intercede.
As a result, her people didn't even see the queen.
People who have been paying attention to the movements of the Second Prince's Mansion are becoming more and more uneasy as they think about it.
At this time, Cen Yingfan escorted the second prince back to the imperial capital.
After staying at the border for several years, under the baptism of wind and frost, Murong Xu seemed to have become much more stable.
He looked at the towering city wall, his eyes shining with determination to win.
Cen Yingfan stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Second Prince, how about I escort you into the palace to pay homage to His Majesty first?"
The second prince nodded slightly, "Let's go!"
The team entered the imperial city, and the second prince and his concubine were waiting at the edge early.
When Zhao Wanyi saw Murong Xu on the horse, her eyes were red and her face was excited, "Your Highness!"
Murong Xu followed the sound, his eyes a little dazed, thinking of Zhao Wanyi's family background, a gentle chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at her affectionately.
Zhao Wanyi's heart was pounding, and she felt as excited as if a long separation was better than a newlywed. She followed the team all the way to the outside of the palace.
The father-in-law sent by the emperor to greet him had been waiting for a long time. He saluted Murong Xu in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "The second prince, General Cen, the emperor and all the ministers have been waiting in the hall for a long time. Please come!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Wanyi aside and frowned slightly, "Second Princess, if you want to enter the palace, I will give you a message."
Zhao Wanyi came back to her senses and looked a little confused. She shook her head and refused, "No, there are still things in the house. I will just go back and wait for Your Highness."
Murong Xu was satisfied with Zhao Wanyi's general knowledge and immediately told her: "My concubine Cen and the child will go back with you. I will tell you in detail later."
When Zhao Wanyi heard the word "child", she almost couldn't hold on to the smile on her face. When Murong Xu turned around, her face instantly dropped.
With the help of the maid, he slowly walked towards the carriage and coughed lightly.
Cen Mingxue hurriedly carried the child down to salute Zhao Wanyi.
Zhao Wanyi's cold eyes fell on the child, and she asked nonchalantly: "Boy or girl?"
Cen Mingxue said tremblingly, "Yes, girl."
Zhao Wanyi sneered, her tone softened a bit, "Is this the one?"
"Yes" Cen Mingxue replied respectfully.
Zhao Wanyi's expression became more and more contemptuous, "I have been with His Highness for many years, and yet I just gave birth to a little girl. It's really useless! Go back home!"
Liu Er quickly helped Cen Mingxue get on the carriage.
He was about to speak aggrievedly.
Cen Mingxue shook her head at her, signaling her to be patient. As soon as the carriage left the palace gate, Murong Xu and Cen Yingfan also entered the hall and respectfully saluted the emperor and empress.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor and my queen!"
"I see the Emperor and the Queen."
The emperor looked down at the two people below and said nothing.
His silence made Murong Xu and Cen Yingfan confused. The ministers who were optimistic about Murong Xu secretly changed their faces and suddenly became uneasy.
Just when Murong Xu was panicking.
The emperor ordered coldly: "Go and bring Mrs. Cen to me."
Cen Mingzhu held her child in her arms and walked nervously into the hall with the support of the palace maid. When she saw Cen Yingfan, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and cried aggrievedly, "Dad!"
"Mingzhu! Why are you here?" Cen Yingfan was shocked and his face turned pale.
Murong Xu on the side suddenly had a bad premonition.
But all the ministers looked at it in confusion.

The emperor suddenly stood up, picked up the folding paper beside him and threw it at Murong Xu's head, shouting angrily, "Murong Xu! Look clearly! Are these your women and children?"
Murong Xu shook his head in panic, "Father, no, it's not like that! Father, please listen to my explanation!"
The emperor's anger boiled to the top of his head, "Now you still want to quibble! Murong Xu, Murong Xu! Don't forget why you went to the border in the first place! Fornication! I thought you went to the border to practice the president's memory, but I didn't expect You actually let the tiger go back to the mountains, allowing you to become more and more wanton and even dare to get involved with married women. You are indeed my good son!"
"Is there some misunderstanding?" Taifu staggered two steps. Regardless of whether Murong Xu really robbed the married woman, he had to find a way to excuse Murong Xu.
The third prince was not happy, "What the Tutor said, my father has found this woman and the second emperor's brother's children. He must have investigated clearly already. The second emperor's brother has children. This kind of thing is terrible." If a man dares to act bravely, he can’t let women and children stand in the way if something goes wrong! ”
Murong Xu was so angry that he almost vomited to death.
The Taifu's face also turned blue and white, and he was unable to refute.
The queen shed tears of disappointment and begged the emperor on her knees, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance to explain. If it is really his fault, I will admit it."
"Mother, queen, that's not what happened! I was wronged!" Murong Xu burst into tears, but he still had the same high spirits as when he first entered the palace.
The emperor took a deep breath and looked at Murong Xu coldly, "For the sake of the queen, I will give you a chance to explain. If you dare to tell a lie, I! I will never give you mercy!"
The ministers took a breath of air and looked at Murong Xu nervously.
Murong Xu was so panicked that his lowered head concealed his uneasy expression.
At this moment, Cen Yingfan kowtowed three times and cried with regret, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the second prince! It is because I did not teach my daughter well! When my daughter was exiled to the border, she almost didn't survive. The prince first came to the border and saved his daughter without knowing it.
As a result, the little girl developed feelings for the second prince that she shouldn't have, and even tampered with the second prince's food. Fortunately, the second prince realized in advance that he didn't fall into the trap, and the only person who had an affair with the little girl was the guard around the second prince.
Only the second prince and the minister knew about this matter, and even the daughter was kept in the dark. Later, the daughter became pregnant, and the minister felt embarrassed, so he had to ask the second prince to let the daughter go back to Zhaohua County.
The second prince does not know these things. It is my fault that I am guilty! ”
"Dad! What did you say?" Cen Mingzhu pulled Cen Yingfan's clothes in disbelief.
Cen Yingfan remained unmoved.
She looked at Murong Xu again, tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Highness! A tiger's poison cannot eat its child. Please tell me, is this child your biological flesh and blood?"
