Chapter 110 It was I, the king, who broke up you two star-crossed lovers!
Concubine Wen widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, her heart filled with fear.
Prince Shun and Princess Shun were both shocked by the long wound on Wen's face.
"Sister Wen, what happened to you? This wound..."
When Princess Shun saw the miserable condition of Wen, she felt extremely happy, but on her face, she still showed a worried look.
"Princess, save me, save me, quickly send a doctor, I can't disfigure myself, I can't disfigure myself, Your Majesty, please believe me, believe me, I am innocent..."
Concubine Wen had completely lost her usual weakness at this moment. She frantically pulled at Princess Shun's sleeve, as if she had grabbed the last straw.
Princess Shun frowned slightly and unsheathed her sleeve from Concubine Wen's hand without leaving a trace, but a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"Sister Wen, don't be anxious. The prince is here, please explain the matter clearly. What is going on?"
Princess Shun asked, seemingly concerned.
Concubine Wen looked in the direction of Murong Jin's room in horror, and seeing that the man did not appear, she looked at Prince Shun, and tears burst out like a dam breaking.
"Your Highness, I am truly innocent. It was Jin'er who suddenly went mad for some unknown reason and stabbed me with a hairpin. She must have been really upset by what happened that day. Please don't blame her."
She quietly looked at the person behind the prince, feeling extremely flustered.
Seeing her like this, Prince Shun took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Come here, go get the doctor. Why are you staying here instead of going in to serve the young lady?"
Prince Shun roared, and the maidservant beside Murong Jin hurried into the house.
When Concubine Wen saw that the prince did not ignore her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking it.
The doctor came quickly and carefully treated Concubine Wen's wound. The wound was very deep, almost to the bone, and it was on her face. Even with the best scar-healing ointment, it would probably leave a long scar.
Prince Shun watched from the side, his face still gloomy.
After the doctor treated the wound, he heard that Wen would be left with scars in the future, and he hated her even more.
After the doctor left, Prince Shun spoke slowly, his tone cold,
"Ms. Wen, since you have seen a doctor for this injury, now is the time for me to settle accounts with you. Do you know this person in front of you? If you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
At this time, Chen Zicong, who was standing behind Prince Shun, knelt down suddenly after hearing Prince Shun's words.
"I, your humble servant, have met Concubine Wen."
Concubine Wen's eyes were wandering and she was confused. She really couldn't understand why her cousin suddenly appeared here?
Wasn’t he kidnapped by Jin’er’s men?
How did you end up here?
Could it be...
Concubine Wen suddenly looked up at Princess Shun, only to see her sitting on a stone bench in the yard, serving tea to the prince personally.
He looked as gentle as possible, as if he had no temper at all.
But Concubine Wen knew that the princess was not without temper, she just looked down on concubines like them.
If Princess Shun knew what she was thinking, she would definitely refute her.
You are wrong. It's not that she doesn't take you concubines seriously, she even doesn't take the prince seriously.
Princess Shun noticed Concubine Wen's gaze, raised her eyes and glanced at her lightly with disdain in her eyes. When she saw that the prince took the tea from her hand, she sat down again without saying a word.
Concubine Wen was dazed by her look. Could it be that she had guessed wrong from the beginning?
The person who kidnapped my cousin was not Jin'er, but the princess.
The princess, has she known about it?
"Wen family."
Concubine Wen trembled all over. She forced herself to calm down, shifted her gaze away from Chen Zicong, and looked at Prince Shun.
"Your Highness, this man is my cousin. However, I haven't seen him for many years. I was a little dazed and didn't recognize him. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Prince Shun was so angry that he laughed.
"It's been many years since we last met, Wen. Do you think I'm a fool? He told me everything. You and him were childhood sweethearts, and you promised to spend your lives together! But I broke up the two of you!"
Concubine Wen's face turned pale, it was over.
"Your Majesty, I... I am innocent. I did meet my cousin a few times when I was young, but I did not do anything inappropriate with him."
Prince Shun snorted coldly.
"Nothing inappropriate? Then why did you hide it from me? What secrets do you have with him?"
Concubine Wen gritted her teeth, her cousin would never betray her.
"Your Majesty, I just don't want you to misunderstand me. My cousin and I have known each other since childhood and have a deep relationship. But since I entered the palace, I have cut off contact with my cousin. I don't know why my cousin appeared here today, and I am also very surprised."
Prince Shun obviously did not believe what Concubine Wen said. He turned to look at Chen Zicong.
"Tell me, why are you here? Didn't you say that she kidnapped you?"
Concubine Wen became more and more confused by Prince Shun’s words. What was going on?
"Your Highness, I have only one life left. I only ask Your Highness, Princess, and Concubine to spare the lives of my family. Please spare my mother, wife, children, and young daughter. It is not a pity for me to die alone. Please show mercy, Your Highness..."
Chen Zicong knelt on the bluestone slab in the yard and kowtowed like crazy, as if he wanted to knock a hole through the bluestone slab.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? When did I arrest your aunt and the others? Have you been fooled?"
Concubine Wen finally understood at this moment that her cousin might have been deceived by the princess. Did he think she was going to harm their family?
"I am a humble person, but my family members are innocent. I beg you to spare them for the love my mother showed you in the past!"
These days, he has already understood that now, he can't survive.
No matter who is going to deal with Concubine Wen, whether it is the princess or someone else, it doesn't matter.
He will help them. As long as his family is safe, he can do anything.
Today, that person wanted him to come to Prince Shun's mansion. On the surface, he was begging Prince Shun to release the old and young in his family, but in reality, he just wanted him to expose Concubine Wen.
"Your Highness, I was obsessed with the matter between me and the concubine, and I have been in fear for many years. Now, I only wish to die. I beg Your Highness to have mercy and spare my family."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't be fooled by him. I am innocent. I don't understand what he is talking about at all..."
Concubine Wen felt that today was really a disaster for her. First, Pingle went crazy and disfigured herself. Then, in the blink of an eye, her cousin came into the house and took the initiative to admit his affair with her.
Are they trying to kill themselves?
why?
"Cousin, I have never had any private relationship with you, why do you want to harm me? You also said that my aunt loved me when I was young. Have you forgotten my mother's love for you? Who instructed you to do this? Do you know that you are trying to kill me?"
Concubine Wen's tone was sad, as if she had really suffered a great injustice.
Princess Shun just watched her performance quietly. If she hadn't already known about her affair with her cousin, she would have been intimidated by her.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, this matter is of great importance, and we cannot just listen to this man's one-sided words. Sister Wen has been in the mansion for many years, and I have seen that she is not the vicious person that man said. Maybe there is really some misunderstanding?"
After hearing this, Prince Shun thought for a moment and nodded.
"Princess, you are right. We should not believe one-sided statements. However, this Wen family..."
When Concubine Wen heard the prince's words, she felt relieved and immediately crawled over on her knees.
"Your Majesty, please believe me. Don't you know how much I love you? We still have Jin'er. If you are deceived by someone, it will force us, mother and daughter, to death, Your Majesty..."
Jin'er?
Yes, if Wen really betrayed me, what would happen to Jin'er?
Seeing that Prince Shun was coaxed into calm by Wen's few words, Princess Shun felt ashamed in her heart: What a fool! Even at this point, hasn't he realized anything?
The hat on his head was glowing green, but he was still deceiving himself.
This person is probably deliberately deceiving himself.
In fact, he was afraid that others would know that he was infertile!
"Your Highness, Sister Wen is right. If she is really convicted, then Pingle's life experience will be tarnished. You must not be confused! Even for Pingle, you can't be careless!"
