Chapter 197 She must have some unbearable difficulties
"What did you do to offend the Crown Prince's Consort? Tell me!"

Lin Yunfang rolled her eyes cunningly.

"I was used by the Imperial Concubine. When I was old enough to leave the palace, the Imperial Concubine arranged for a guard to marry me. I had a child with him. Later, when the Duke's wife gave birth, the Imperial Concubine asked my husband to help smuggle the child, but the Duke found out and killed him. The child went around and eventually fell into the hands of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine found me and asked me to help raise the child. That child is the Crown Prince's Concubine."

Shen Ziyan didn't expect that the Imperial Concubine had a hand in the Crown Prince's wife's life story. "She is so bold!"

He saw that Lin Yunfang still lowered her head and dared not look at him.

"Is there anything else that you haven't explained?"

"No...no." Lin Yunfang clutched her sleeves.

Shen Ziyan stared at Lin Yunfang without saying a word.

Lin Yunfang felt like someone was staring a hole in her head. She swallowed nervously and guessed that something must have happened to Ji Anyu. Prince Zhong seemed unaware of the grudge between her and Ji Anyu. If he had known this, she would not have confessed so quickly.

"Your Highness, although the Crown Princess is not my biological child, I raised her to adulthood. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard for her. Not only did the Crown Princess repay my kindness with enmity, she also asked people to poison me and use me for drug testing. I beg Your Highness to seek justice." As she spoke, Lin Yunfang kowtowed repeatedly, but cleverly avoided hitting the ground.

Shen Ziyan slightly moved aside and glanced at Lin Yunfang impatiently.

"You are not the one to judge the Crown Prince's Consort. You were wrong to take the Duke's daughter away to raise her. Don't play tricks in front of me. I won't fall for it. Come on, torture me."

Lin Yunfang was surprised that Prince Zhong was even more cruel than Ji Anyu, and resorted to lynching over a disagreement.

She was poisoned and had to test drugs every day, which was already uncomfortable for her. When she was lynched, she could bear it at first, but later, when they came one after another, she couldn't stand it anymore and kept begging for mercy.

Shen Ziyan was sitting in the front drinking tea. When he heard Lin Yunfang begging for mercy, he waved his hand to signal the guards to stop the lynching.

Lin Yunfang lay on the ground in a panic and told Prince Zhong everything she knew.

Prince Zhong did not expect that this woman actually knew that Ajing was not his biological son. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law had imprisoned Lin Yunfang in Prince Zhong's mansion early on, otherwise, if she were used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.

But since the daughter-in-law knew that Ajing was not the real prince of Prince Zhong’s Mansion, why didn’t she tell Ajing the truth?
At this time, Zhusha hurried to Shen Ziyan and whispered, "Your Majesty, the prince has woken up, and he wants you to come over."

Prince Zhong saw Zhusha's cautious look and knew that Ajing was very angry.

About half a cup of tea later, Prince Zhong walked into Shen Jing's bedroom and saw Shen Jing sitting on the bed with disheveled hair and a sullen face.

Prince Zhong suddenly felt guilty and coughed at his raised fist.

"Ah Jing, are you feeling okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask Ya Yan to come and take a look."

Shen Jing suppressed his anger and said, "Father, the emperor already knows my background. He will probably hold back from doing anything. It would be better for me to go to Qingyu Pass to recuperate than to stay in the capital."

"You..." Shen Ziyan didn't expect Shen Jing to be so direct.

He was furious and said, "You were injured but you still missed Ji Anyu, but you knew that Ji Anyu was not loyal to you. Her adoptive mother was imprisoned in the backyard. She knew from her adoptive mother that you were not my son, but she chose to hide it from you and let you be kept in the dark."

Shen Jing's pupils were slightly shocked. After a moment, he responded to Prince Zhong in a resounding voice.

"I believe she didn't hide it on purpose. She must have had some unbearable difficulties and didn't know how to explain the truth to me, so she has not told me until now."

Shen Ziyan stared helplessly, and he kept saying a few good words.

"You two are a loving couple, but I am the one who brought you to the capital without knowing what is good for you."

Shen Ziyan stopped talking and kept his eyes on Shen Jing's face. Seeing that Shen Jing did not refute him, he silently told him that he was indeed nosy. He was so angry that his mouth trembled twice. After a while, Shen Ziyan was sulking and thought that Jing was a child with a strong temper. During the years when he was missing, basically no one disciplined Shen Jing, and Shen Jing's temper became more and more stubborn.

Shen Ziyan had no choice but to step back, and then spoke earnestly.

"Ah Jing, since you have already returned to the capital, why bother going to Qingyu Pass again? Don't worry, I have ordered people to continue looking for my daughter-in-law. Once there is news, I will tell you immediately. The emperor and General Kong have also sent people to look for her. My daughter-in-law will be fine."

Seeing that Prince Zhong couldn't communicate with him, Shen Jing looked at Prince Zhong's sparse, half-white temples. He closed his eyes tiredly and nodded.

Seeing Shen Jing looking tired, Shen Ziyan immediately helped Shen Jing lie down.

"Ah Jing, just rest and recover. I will never give up on my daughter-in-law, so just relax."

Looking at Shen Jing's snow-white face, Shen Ziyan covered Shen Jing with a quilt and went out.

After a while, Shen Jing opened his eyes and said coldly, "Zhu Sha, have someone tell Shen Yuxian about his life experience, and don't let my father find out."

If the emperor doesn't want to move, then he will irritate Shen Yuxian and deal with Shen Yuxian as soon as possible so that he can find his wife faster.

"The secret guards looking for my wife cannot stop. I must find her alive or dead!"

"Yes."

……

Ever since Chen Yuxian returned to the East Palace from the Imperial Study, he has been restless all day long. He always feels that something big is going to happen, and he is so flustered that he can't do anything.

"Your Highness, I made a bowl of red dates and lotus seed soup for you." Ji Qinqin twisted her waist and walked to the table with dignified and elegant steps.

Shen Yuxian frowned in annoyance. He was tricked by Ji Qinqin's biological father and disliked Ji Qinqin even more. Unexpectedly, he drank a little last month and asked Ji Qinqin who was passing by in the East Palace Garden.

Just that time, Ji Qinqin became pregnant!

The queen was happy to hear that and rewarded Ji Qinqin. She also told Shen Yuxian to treat Ji Qinqin well and not to treat Ji Qinqin coldly, so as to avoid the fetus in Ji Qinqin's belly being hurt because of Ji Qinqin's bad mood.

Ji Qinqin was so happy that she got the support of the Queen thanks to the baby in her belly. However, she didn't expect that the Prince's attitude towards her would improve and he even let her enter and leave the study freely.

She smiled and stirred the soup twice, then handed it to Chen Yuxian.

"Your Highness, I heard that you have been feeling uneasy lately, so I specially ordered someone to make some sweet soup. Your Highness will definitely feel better after eating something sweet. Please try it."

Chen Yuxian sniffed the sweet aroma of the soup and glanced at Ji Qinqin with displeasure.

"Who told you that I'm in a bad mood? Don't take advantage of having my child to ask about my affairs. Remember, you are not the only woman who can give birth to my child!"

The smile on Ji Qinqin's face suddenly froze. She quickly put down the soup, knelt at Shen Yuxian's feet and whispered softly.

"I am guilty... I just wanted to care about His Royal Highness, so I asked about His Royal Highness's feelings. I will never dare to do it again. For the sake of the child, please forgive me."

Shen Yuxian was even more unhappy when he heard about the child. It was because of this child that he had to tolerate Ji Qinqin hanging around him.

Suddenly a shrill voice came, "Your Highness, someone has sent a secret letter."

Shen Yuxian thought it was something important, so he immediately took it and opened it to read.
