Chapter 473 Judgment
Because of Cen Yingfan's words, Murong Xu's heart slowly fell to the ground. When he looked back at Cen Mingzhu, his eyes were filled with imperceptible pity and ridicule, "Ms. Cen, the child in your arms really has nothing to do with me. I swear to God, if this child is my flesh and blood, I will cut off my descendants!”
Murong Xu spoke categorically, with such firm eyes that even the emperor was shaken.
The queen even cried with joy, "Your Majesty, my concubine said that the second child is not the kind of person who messes around"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Cen Mingzhu put down the child and hit his head on the ground hard.
"Ah!" the queen shouted in fright.
The emperor hurriedly protected the queen behind him.
Cen Yingfan collapsed and hurried over to pick up Cen Mingzhu, just in time to meet Cen Mingzhu's eyes full of resentment and unblinking eyes.
The emperor shouted sternly, "Come here! Capture Cen Yingfan for me! Retreat from the court!"
The ministers came out of the palace in panic.
The second prince wanted to go to the harem, but was stopped by the guards, and walked out of the palace in despair.
The Taifu has been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.
After getting on the carriage with him, the Grand Tutor shook his head in despair, and said seriously: "It is best for the Second Prince to keep a low profile when he comes back this time. Don't be arrogant. Wait until the Emperor's anger subsides before talking."
He did not ask further questions, and Murong Xu had no desire to explain.
After returning to the Second Prince's Mansion, Murong Xu found the three masters and servants of Cen Mingxue sitting in the back-seat room as soon as he entered the house. He frowned unconsciously, "What are you doing here?"
Cen Mingxue hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, the second prince and concubine haven't thought of how to arrange my concubine yet, so let me wait first."
"Ridiculous! If Zhao Wanyi can't even do this well, someone else can take the position of the second princess!" Murong Xu roared angrily.
The housekeeper immediately trotted over and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to His Highness the Second Highness. The princess has already arranged Concubine Cen's residence. I will take Concubine Cen there now."
Murong Xu said dissatisfiedly: "The proportion of the Cen family is the same as that of the concubine."
Cen Mingxue and the housekeeper both looked stunned.
The housekeeper came to his senses and hurried down to make arrangements.
Zhao Wanyi knew this situation and smashed a room full of porcelain angrily. She was about to go to Murong Xu to argue with her, but was stopped by the maid halfway.
"Master, no, something happened."
Because the emperor was interrogating Murong Xu and Cen Mingzhu in the main hall, the news spread quickly.
Zhao Wanyi learned what happened from the maid, and her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
At the same time, Shen Tian also learned everything that happened in the hall from Murong Chen's mouth.
Sighing and shaking his head, "Cen Yingfan is worthy of being a general with heavy troops and decisive attacks. He understood the trick of abandoning his car to protect his commander in critical moments! But he probably didn't expect that his precious daughter would be so strong on the spot. The main hall committed suicide. This matter has come to an end, but his father, the emperor, and his mother will never believe Murong Xu again, and Cen Yingfan. He took everything on his shoulders. His father will definitely not let him off lightly. Demotion and exile are all frivolous. Yes, it is very likely that the house will be confiscated and beheaded.
His gamble was a bit big. ”
Murong Chen looked at Shen Tian with admiration in his eyes, "My Tiantian is getting better and better. What you said is all right, but there is one thing you said wrong. My father will not kill Cen Yingfan. The border war has only been in the past few years." ? The battles he set up can save his life.
In addition, my father also has to consider Cen Yingfan's subordinates. It is impossible to kill him all at once. It will take time to completely destroy Cen Yingfan. ”
Shen Tian shook her head, "None of this has anything to do with us, but they say tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their own children. The second prince can even give up his own son. This shows how ruthless this person is. You need to be careful to guard against him."
Die Rongchen grinned and lay down lazily, "What are you afraid of? I am just a prince with no real power. If you are worried, I will not go out and stay with you in the house."
"Glib tongue!" Shen Tian glanced at him tenderly and lay down in his arms.
Within two days, Cen Yingfan was punished with a sixty-year-old cane, a three-year fine, and was demoted to a sixth-grade patrol guard.
As soon as Cen Mingzhu died, Zhu Yixuan was also beaten sixty times and was sent back to Cen's family together with Cen Yingfan.
Mrs. Cen’s wife, Mrs. Jiang, cried heartbrokenly. She cried and cried beside Cen Yingfan’s bedside, “Why do you slander Mingzhu like this? Now that Mingzhu is dead, she is still being cursed and slandered! That is our most precious daughter! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

Cen Yingfan was in pain and heartache, his eyes were scarlet, he clenched his fists and beat the bed, gritting his teeth, "Do you think I am willing? That is my beloved daughter who has grown up under my watch. Even if she wants my life, I will give it to her!"
But I can't kill dozens of members of the Cen family just because of her! Regardless of whether she is with the second prince or not, there is no way that the emperor and queen can let her live! That child is destined not to be brought to light!
I took over the matter to protect the royal family's face and protect the second prince. Only in this way can we save our Cen family! What do you, a woman, know? ”
How could Mrs. Jiang not understand these principles, but she just couldn't accept that her beloved daughter was gone.
Thinking of the child Cen Mingzhu left behind, Ms. Jiang sniffed and choked up: "What about the child? Mingzhu went through all the hard work to give birth to that child, and you don't recognize it either?"
Cen Yingfan was stunned for a moment, and asked all the servants in the room to exit, and asked Mrs. Jiang to step forward, and whispered: "That child has been replaced by Yi Xuan a long time ago. Mingzhu gave birth to a daughter at that time, and Mingxue raised her, shush! This is This matter must not be made public!”
Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She was relieved because the child was not her grandson, but she was also very sad because she could not recognize her granddaughter.
Cen Yingfan grabbed Jiang's hand and asked: "I just came back and I don't have much information. I only know that the Sixth Prince sent people to arrest Mingzhu and Yixuan. Why did the Sixth Prince arrest them?"
Cen Yingfan has never been able to figure out the twists and turns here. Seeing Jiang's eyes flickering, it is obvious that she understands.
"What is there to hide now?"
Jiang had no choice but to answer truthfully: "It is related to the sixth prince's concubine Shen. Shen was originally a poor girl from Moshi Town, Zhaohua County. She worked in the house of Yong'an Hou Yizi.
Mingzhu brought people to the house to cause trouble, and those who were injured were Shen and her eldest brother. The sixth prince probably wanted people to stare at the Zhu family in order to avenge Shen, and he happened to catch him. ”
"You mean that woman became the sixth prince's concubine?" Cen Yingfan was extremely shocked.
Concubines are different from ordinary concubines. They are equivalent to common wives. They are included in the royal family tree and can be buried with their husbands. With his previous rank, it is not enough for his daughter to be a concubine of the prince. Why does a girl from a poor family deserve it?
Ms. Jiang nodded and clenched her fists jealously, "It has something to do with the abbot of the Buddhist temple. The abbot of the Buddhist temple said that Shen was blessed and that she and the sixth prince were a match made in heaven. The emperor decreed that they would marry her."
