Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 437: Guilty conscience

Views:

Song Che could no longer bear it. His sharp eyes fell on the woman and he shouted coldly, "Bullshit! You are talking nonsense!"

He had been on the battlefield and killed people, and the accumulated murderous energy frightened the woman so much that she screamed. After she screamed, she cried and crawled away from Song Che, begging Emperor Yuanfeng for help.

Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him calmly and glanced at Song Che: "Uncle, don't be anxious, let her finish."

He looked at the woman, and he seemed very calm, even speaking in a softer voice: "Tell me carefully, if it is true, I will naturally have my opinion, if it is false..."

He didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood.

The woman shuddered and responded pitifully, then looked at Song Che fearfully and continued, "After all, the Crown Prince is the biological brother of the late Crown Princess, and before the Crown Princess passed away, she entrusted the grandson to the Crown Prince. My mother thought about it and didn't dare to go against his wishes..."

She choked up, covered her mouth and cried for a few more words, then continued: "My mother followed him to the capital, put the grandson at the gate of Baihe Temple, hid and waited to see the Taoist priest from Baihe Temple come out and carry him in..."

"This is absolutely ridiculous!" Song Che sneered and retorted confidently: "Let's not talk about your so-called mother. My son had serious military affairs at that time. How could he bring your mother to the capital city and put the child in Baihe Temple first, and then deliberately discovered the child when he was two years old, and then informed me? Are you fooling the emperor like a three-year-old kid?!"

The man who had been kneeling silently beside him was whispering, "We don't know what the Marquis said, but this is absolutely true. After my mother sent the grandson away, the prince asked her to pack her bags and leave, but my mother refused... How could she feel at ease leaving the blood of her former master? Who knew that night..."

He seemed to be in great pain. He endured it for a while before pursing his lips and said hatefully, "That night, my mother was staying at a farmer's house. In the middle of the night, someone broke into the room and wanted to kill her..."

Gao Ping glanced at the two of them, then looked at Song Che, who was kneeling there but was obviously more angry than guilty, and quickly analyzed the information in his mind.

Emperor Yuanfeng raised his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. What Guangping Hou said is true. These are all your family's words. Do you have any evidence?!"

Speaking of evidence, the two of them became excited. The woman hurriedly shouted, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty! Before my mother died, she was still worried about the Crown Prince. She said that Your Highness is clearly the grandson of Your Majesty and should recognize his ancestors. You can't let Your Highness live his whole life in an unknown identity and be a concubine who is hated by everyone..."

These words were truly heartfelt. She cried and said, "There is a brown birthmark on the upper part of your right arm, where it joins the shoulder..."

Only then did Gao Ping take a serious look at the man.

Even knowing this...

Either they are telling the truth, or there is definitely a thief in the Song family.

Otherwise, how could he even know the birthmarks in Song Heng's place

Sure enough, Emperor Yuanfeng also turned his head to look at Song Che: "Uncle?"

Song Che was really confused about this. He exclaimed, "Your Majesty, I don't know whether this is a birthmark or not."

Emperor Yuanfeng was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked the two people, "Besides this, is there anything else?"

The woman was obviously choked by Song Che, and she didn't react until Emperor Yuanfeng asked, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness should have another amulet! It's a Pisces jade pendant, and there is a trick inside. If you fiddle with it, there will be words engraved! It was left for Your Highness by the Crown Princess. My mother deliberately hid it from the prince, and only told him that it was for self-defense, and didn't recognize it."

Having said that, even Gao Ping began to believe what these two people said.

The main thing is that it's so real, from the characters to the places to the time, and to all the details, everything matches, especially they can even tell about the birthmark on Song Heng's body and the token that Song Heng has.

Whether this is true or not is easy to find out by just checking.

Emperor Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment and asked Eunuch Xia to "Announce Song Heng."

Song Che was extremely angry. He took two steps forward and pointed out bluntly, "Your Majesty, these people's words are very reasonable, but in the end, they are all just their own words, without any evidence. Even if it's about the birthmark, Ah Heng has had a wet nurse and maids to serve him since he was a child. He is a man, not a girl. He has exposed his arms before. What's so strange about the birthmark being known? In addition, what amulet? To be honest with Your Majesty, I don't know if he has an amulet on him. Maybe he does, but I see these people came prepared. Maybe they took the opportunity to put this thing on Ah Heng?"

The two men hurriedly protested their injustice.

Emperor Yuanfeng waved his hand and glanced at Song Che: "Uncle, don't worry. I know what is right and wrong."

After hearing what he said, although Song Che was somewhat unwilling, he still kept silent.

When Eunuch Xia outside reported and brought Song Heng in, Emperor Yuanfeng looked at Song Heng again seriously with a complicated look.

Look at Song Heng's appearance, two standard Song family peach blossom eyes... ...

Song Heng had already come forward to pay his respects to Emperor Yuanfeng, and then went to pay his respects to Song Che: "Grandfather."

Song Che hesitated and patted his shoulder.

Emperor Yuanfeng coughed.

If what these people said was true, then the generation order would be completely messed up.

How could Song Heng call Song Che grandpa

He is the real grandfather.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. He turned his eyes away from Song Heng and Song Che, called Song Heng over, and then pointed at the two people and asked him: "Do you know who these two are?"

Song Heng frowned and looked at them, then shook his head affirmatively: "I haven't seen it."

After he finished speaking, he called out "Your Majesty" directly and asked unhappily, "Grandfather is already old, why did you surround our house? Did he commit a crime?"

Song Heng has been with Emperor Yuanfeng for two or three years.

For some unknown reason, he was very close to Emperor Yuanfeng since he was a child. This closeness was natural and could not be faked, and the relationship between the monarch and his subject was often casual.

Just like now, if it was someone else who was asking the question, Emperor Yuanfeng would be furious and think that this person was overstepping his authority. However, because it was Song Heng who was asking the question, even though he actually had doubts about Song Heng's background, he still suppressed his anger and sat down: "There are some things I want to ask my uncle to clarify, so I called you along as well."

He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down."
