Chapter 701 The frightened sixth prince
"Oh? Madam Cen is the confidant of her mother, how could she be released from the palace?"
"It seems that because Madam Cen went to burn paper money, the Empress punished her when she saw her breaking the palace rules. However, because Madam Cen was loyal for many years, she did not punish her severely and was only driven out of the palace."
The sixth prince immediately slapped the table: "Go and catch Madam Cen for me! Remember, you should do it secretly and don't let anyone discover it!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xi immediately agreed and went to do the business quickly.
The Sixth Prince's men raised a lot of people and immediately went to do things as soon as they were ordered. Soon, they found the inn where Madam Cen was temporarily staying, covered the person's mouth, and forced him to take it back to the Sixth Prince's mansion.
Madam Cen had just breathed the free air outside the palace for a long time, but now she was forcibly brought to the Sixth Prince. The nervousness in her heart was beyond words. However, thinking that she had served Concubine Shu for half her life, she now kept her up and the Sixth Prince couldn't care about her anymore, so she felt a little more confident.
"I wish you a blessing to the Sixth Prince." Madam Cen bowed her knees to salute the Sixth Prince.
The sixth prince looked at Madam Cen with a gloomy expression, and sat upright in the first place without saying a word.
Madam Cen secretly observed the expression of the Sixth Prince. Seeing that his face was tense, he looked gloomy and gloomy. She didn't understand what the Sixth Prince meant at all. She couldn't help but analyze the reasons for arresting him this time and analyzed several kinds of reasons.
After a while, the Sixth Prince waved his hand and waved the people around him.
"Madam Cen, I have been with my mother for many years, have you?" The sixteenth prince's voice was a bit hoarse.
"Go back to Your Highness, I have been with the Empress for more than 30 years." Madam Cen forced herself to calm down.
"Well. Then you also know what happened when my mother was in the palace?"
When Madam Cen heard this, her heart immediately jumped. She looked up at the Sixth Prince nervously, nodded hesitantly and said, "Yes."
"Then let me ask you, my mother met Ye Zhaoke before entering the palace?"
How could this kind of privacy concern about Concubine Shu be discussed behind her? What's more, she is facing Concubine Shu's son.
Madam Cen lowered her head and hesitated, but did not answer immediately.
Her silence, in the eyes of the Sixth Prince, had a different meaning.
"Why, my mother really knew Ye Zhao when she was in the boudoir?"
Madam Cen was shocked by the tone of the sixth prince and did not dare to hide it any more. She nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I dare not deceive the Sixth Prince. The Empress is indeed familiar with Ye Zhuangyuan for a long time."
Seeing that the sixth prince did not say a word, just staring at him with his eyes straight, Madam Cen was afraid that the highness, who was uneasy, would be angry, so she knelt down and said, "When the Empress was in the boudoir, she was a good friend of the Princess Gongding, who was also in the boudoir at that time. In the early years, the two met Ye Zhuangyuan together. Later... Later, when the Empress entered the palace, Xu married Princess Gongding, and the relationship was broken."
The relationship is broken?
The Sixth Prince sneered, saying that, did they have any relationship before?
No wonder the one named Ye Siqi looks so similar to him! No wonder they are all children of Ye Zhao and Concubine Shu!
His noble mother, who is graceful and luxurious on weekdays, is so unrestrained? But before entering the palace, she had sex with men. After giving birth to Ye Siqi, she relied on the skills of the Cai family to serve the priest for many years, and put the cuckold on the head of the current emperor!
Poor his good father, who is still kept in the dark, wants to make him a bastard as the prince, and wants to make a woman who is unfaithful to him the queen?
When the Sixth Prince thought about this, he suddenly remembered that Emperor Jing Hong had ordered someone to investigate Ye Zhao, and his face turned pale on the spot.
The father knew about this matter even if he had doubts. He would investigate it! Otherwise, how could the father investigate a dead person for no reason?
The sixth prince stood up, walked in front of Madam Cen with a gloomy face, and whispered: "Who else knows what happened to my mother's early years?"
Madam Cen said: "The person who followed the Empress in the early years has long been gone. Don't worry, these things..."
Before he finished speaking, the sixth prince's hand had already snatched Madam Cen's neck hatefully.
Madam Cen's eyes widened in horror, grabbed with her hands and kicked her feet: "You, why are you..."
The Sixth Prince sneered: "Since they are all dead, in order to keep this secret, you can go down and accompany them."
With a hard force on his hand, his sharp nails pierced the skin on Madam Cen's neck, and blood flowed down. Madam Cen's eyes burst, and after a while, she finally stopped struggling.
The sixth prince threw the man to the ground with a thud and kicked him with his feet: "Come."
Zhao Xi hurried into the door, but was not surprised at all when he saw the corpse on the ground: "Your Highness?"
"Do not let people see it." The sixth prince ordered casually.
"Yes." Zhao Xi immediately responded seriously and hurriedly cleaned up Madam Cen's body.
The Sixth Prince sat on the ring chair, thinking about the Jinyiwei's ability to investigate secretly, and felt panic.
Was that person named Ye Siqi born to her mother?
When he ordered people to investigate, he found that the information about Ye Siqi's mother could not be found. He only said that he was born by a woman in her hometown in the countryside.
If her mother left Ye Siqi with Ye Zhao before entering the palace, and gave birth to him after entering the palace, this could explain his appearance as similar to Ye Siqi. If the father found out this, then regardless of whether he was the father's son or not, his bloodline would be questioned.
The sixth prince was panicked and pale. He finally had to sit in that position. He finally had his father to look at him with his eyes, but all this was ruined by his mother who had been arrogant from the beginning!
If she hadn't been unfaithful, if she hadn't had time to pay tribute to Ye Zhao, how could he be in such an embarrassing situation now?
If you don’t say anything else, if you know that your father may have impure blood, it will become a problem if you can inherit the throne or whether you can survive.
The sixth prince was panicked and circling all over the ground.

The next day, Chu Junlan carried Rusheng to Nuomin's palace to visit.
Rusheng wore a small emerald green cotton jacket today and a white rabbit-haired hat on his head. A lot of children have grown up. The face is white and tender, their eyes are big and round, and their energy is much more than when they first returned to the capital.
Nuomin held a brightly colored tiger and shook it in front of the child. Rusheng's big eyes kept staring at the little tiger, stretching out his hand to grab it. He was not annoyed if he couldn't catch it several times, but he just watched it with concentration.
Nuomin smiled and said, "This child is so cute. Your family is getting more and more beautiful. Every time you carry the child, I don't want you to carry him back."
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "He is very cheating now. Maybe he will recognize people. He will pester me when he sees me. I just wanted to come to your place to sit. He started crying when he saw me going out. I went back and coaxed me for a long time before I coaxed me. I had to bring it together."
Nuomin was full of envy and felt a little sad when she thought of the child she had lost, but when she thought about it, her eyes became firmer: "Sister, are you able to get me pregnant again?"
Chu Junlan looked at Nuomin with a look of surprise.
Nuomin looked embarrassed and whispered: "I have thought about it. No matter whether the emperor is sincere to me or falsely, life will always go on. I don't know if I am alone in the palace, but also for my tribe and my elder brother. If I could have a prince as soon as possible and my status is more stable, I would have more hope."
Chu Junlan looked at Nuomin with a gentle smile in his eyes and nodded, "It's good that you can think openly. There are many smart people in this palace, but long-lived people are open-minded and will not disturb themselves. I understand what you mean. I will try my best to regulate your body and strive to achieve your wish. You should also listen to me during this period and say you are told to do whatever you ask you to do."
Nuomin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, as long as you let me do it, I will do it. Although I don't have any great skills, I still understand this obedient. Although I can't help you, I will try my best to take care of myself."
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Don't worry so much. In fact, it's not that complicated. I will prescribe some dietary recipes for you to use. In addition, you should also do the exercises I asked you to do. Exercise regularly to strengthen your body and will not be too dangerous for delivery in the future."
Nomin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I understand, I will definitely be more careful."
As he spoke, a palace servant came to whisper, "Empress, the eldest prince's concubine, there is news outside that the emperor will make the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince at the dynasty meeting today."
Nuomin nodded with a gentle smile on his face and said, "It's so good. The Sixth Prince is outstanding and there is the Cai family behind him. I believe that as the crown prince, he can share the worries of the emperor."
After replying, the palace servant retreated with a smile. It was obvious that the court was about to have a new crown prince, and the ceremony was about to be held soon. As a subject, he also felt that the country had a successor and had a backbone in his heart.
But when others retreated, only Chu Junlan was left in the hall. When Rusheng and Nuomin were in the same state, Nuomin's uneasiness seemed to turn into substance.
"Concubine Shu is really good at calculating. She has murdered so many princes. Isn't it just this day? Now that the sixth prince is going to become the crown prince, she must be very proud!" Nuomin's eyes gradually became wet again, "I pity my child, I was killed tragically as soon as he came to this world. I really..."
Speaking of this, tears rolled down Nuomin's white cheeks.
Chu Junlan was sad and hurriedly held her hand and persuaded, "Don't be sad. That child is just coming later. When you are pregnant again, he will come back to you. Next time I will help you guard him well, so that he can grow up safely and not let him in danger."
Nuomin wiped his tears after hearing this, and it took him a long time to calm down.
The two of them chatted for a moment, and Chu Junlan got up and hugged the child and said goodbye.
Just a moment after returning to Zhongcui Palace, Xiao Xu quickly came back and said to him when he met: "You are back, just in time, your father-in-law and mother-in-law have returned from the old capital. The father specially allowed us to take the children to take a look."
