Chapter 200: The Queen Learns the Identity of Her Son

"Shen Jing?"

Kong Wanhan was stunned, then sneered.

"Shen Weixiao, are you kidding me? Shen Jing has been raised in Prince Zhong's mansion for many years. He is obviously Prince Zhong's son."

"He is not. He is your own flesh and blood. Prince Zhong told me personally that he saw someone carrying a baby boy out of the palace. He stopped the person and raised him in his own house. This child is Shen Jing."

Kong Wanhan said angrily, "Then why didn't he send the child back? He let us mother and child meet, but we didn't know each other."

Shen Weixiao was unable to speak, his eyes were complicated and it was hard to tell his emotions.

"Zi Yan has his own difficulties. Now that he is back, he immediately told me the truth. It is obvious that he has regretted all these years."

As soon as Kong Wanhan heard what Shen Weixiao said, she was sure that the mastermind behind the replacement of her child was the imperial concubine. Did they think she didn't know about the past between the imperial concubine and Shen Ziyan?

A woman who knew that her younger brother liked the imperial concubine, but was concerned about the imperial concubine's family power, and insisted on taking him into the harem.

A man who liked the imperial concubine but was too cowardly to fight for her, turned around and married a girl from another family.

It's ridiculous that you still want to protect the imperial concubine even today!
When Kong Wanhan accepted that her biological son was Shen Jing, anger and sadness mixed in her heart. When she thought that Shen Jing was dead, she couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

"My son is dead, why are you telling me all this? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Shen Weixiao rarely saw Kong Wanhan crying, and for a moment he felt distressed, and he hurriedly tried to comfort Kong Wanhan.

"Don't cry. Ah Jing is not dead. He is just seriously injured and is recovering in Prince Zhong's mansion. I want to protect him, so I ordered people to conceal the news that he is alive. The reason why I didn't make his identity public is because I was afraid that someone would assassinate him. When the time is right, I will definitely restore his identity."

"Assassination? Oh, I'm afraid it was someone sent by the mastermind. She must know that A Jing is being raised in Prince Zhong's mansion."

Kong Wanhan gritted her teeth in anger. Someone had said before that Shen Jing would not live long, and it was probably because the imperial concubine had secretly poisoned him.

Poor child, he suffered so much injustice without her seeing it.

Whenever she protected Shen Yuxian, the imperial concubine would laugh when she saw it. Now that she thought about it, she was probably laughing at her stupidity.

If she had known that the imperial concubine would go so far, she should have killed the second prince.

Shen Weixiao saw Kong Wanhan half crying and half mocking herself, and tried to think of something to say to make Kong Wanhan happy.

He suddenly thought of the baby in Ji Anyu's belly and said quickly, "A Jing's wife is already pregnant. You will be a grandmother soon."

As expected, Kong Wanhan burst into laughter, but then she felt complicated. Ji Anyu was Cao Lingru's biological daughter. Cao Lingru loved her adopted daughter deeply and took great care of her, but she was willing to be the concubine of the second prince. She felt sorry for Cao Lingru.

She never thought that her son and Ji Anyu would have such a fate. If her son had not been replaced by the imperial concubine, Ji Anyu would not have been lost, and her son would have married Cao Lingru's daughter, and there would not have been so many troubles later.

Kong Wanhan dodged Shen Weixiao's hand that was trying to wipe her tears, and smiled at Shen Weixiao firmly.

"I will summon her to the palace tomorrow. No, no, no, she is pregnant. I will go to Prince Zhong's mansion to see her in person."

Shen Weixiao was originally unhappy because Kong Wanhan deliberately avoided him, but when he heard that Kong Wanhan was going to Prince Zhong's Mansion, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and was replaced by panic.

"She is not in the capital now. When A Jing disappeared, she encountered an assassin and got separated from the people in Prince Zhong's Mansion. Her whereabouts are unknown now."

Kong Wanhan's smile suddenly fell, and then he was speechless and raised a smile, looking at Shen Weixiao in a gloomy tone, "Another assassin, could it be that the mastermind behind this is the one who replaced my son?"

Shen Weixiao felt that Kong Wanhan's smile was dazzling. He avoided the other person's sight and focused on the cricket.

"No, this time it was someone from Nanhou Mansion who did it." Kong Wanhan was speechless for a moment. Nanhou Mansion was on good terms with Shen Yuxian. Shen Yuxian had supported Nanhou Mansion in the past, and she also had his support behind the scenes. But now her own people were hurting her daughter-in-law.

"I'm tired and have a headache."

Shen Weixiao knew that this incident was a big blow to people, and Kong Wanhan didn't welcome him, so he followed the step given by the other party.

"I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

Kong Wanhan looked at Shen Weixiao's broad back and sneered. The stinky man still wanted to protect the imperial concubine and save his stinky face. He was unwilling to even do the superficial work of punishing the imperial concubine.

At this moment, Ji Qinqin knelt down at Shen Yuxian's feet and massaged Shen Yuxian's feet.

Shen Yuxian looked at Ji Qinqin's attentiveness coldly, stretched his foot to Ji Qinqin's chin, and flicked Ji Qinqin's chin with his big toe.

"Qinqin, do you like me?"

"I like it." Ji Qinqin nodded, enduring the sour smell coming from her feet.

"If I were just an ordinary person, would you still be willing to follow me?"

"Of course I am willing. Now I have the Crown Prince's child. If I don't follow you, who should I follow? As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog."

Shen Yuxian's eyes moved to Ji Qinqin's belly with joy. His background was fake, but Ji Qinqin's belly could not be fake. The child inside was indeed his.

"Qinqin, follow me, I will not treat you unfairly." Shen Yuxian decided to take Ji Qinqin with him. In case anything happened to him, the child in Ji Qinqin's belly would be his only bloodline left in the world.

Shen Yuxian was so happy that he carried Ji Qinqin to the bed and let Ji Qinqin rest in his bedroom.

Ji Qinqin was so happy that she fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she woke up in the morning, there was no one beside her pillow.

She enjoyed her breakfast leisurely, unaware that the situation in the court had changed drastically.

Shen Yuxian and Wei Luoyan cooperated with each other and instigated half of the officials in the court to launch a coup.

The emperor was surprised that Shen Yuxian had caused such a big fuss in such a short time. What was even funnier was that those officials had almost no idea about Shen Yuxian's background and they foolishly served Shen Yuxian.

He glanced at Shen Yuxian, who was wearing armor, and said meaningfully, "Shen Yuxian, you know I don't want to kill you, but if you do this, the father-son relationship of many years will be undone."

Shen Yuxian's face changed in shock, "You really know everything!"

He did not regret starting the rebellion. His background meant that the emperor would not pass the throne to him, so he could only give it a try. They were all human beings, so why should only the bloodline of the Shen family be able to sit on the throne?

"Father, you have taught me the art of being an emperor since I was young. Now I am just putting what you taught me into action. I remember you said that we must always maintain the dignity of the royal family. I have always kept it in mind!"

The emperor was choked by Shen Yuxian's shameless words. This kid was actually betting that he would not expose Shen Yuxian's background in public, betting that he valued the reputation of the royal family.

He suddenly wanted to end it quickly and didn't want to see Shen Yuxian's greedy face again.

"You are such a shameless bastard! Come, arrest the traitor Shen Yuxian and put him in jail!"

After the Queen goes to see Shen Yuxian for the last time, he will send Shen Yuxian to heaven!
The prince's party felt that the emperor did not kill Shen Yuxian immediately, which meant that the emperor still favored Shen Yuxian and was reluctant to kill him. Shen Yuxian still had hope of sitting on the throne. They straightened their backs instantly and stood proudly.

Little did they know that they were already lambs to be slaughtered.
