I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 240 Situ Yuan's Divine Assistance

Emperor Taihe looked at Empress Chen with cold eyes, and immediately thought of the previous case of the Xu family's substitution.

He remembered that in order to facilitate the substitution, Xu poisoned Xie Xiu's mother-in-law, causing her old illness to relapse.

Although Queen Dowager Zhao did not suffer a relapse of her old illness, she fell ill suddenly and her condition was extremely critical.

If it was really Chen Huan who poisoned her, this bitch is even more vicious than that Xu!

He looked down at Empress Chen, his face gloomy as he questioned, "I want to ask you, when my mother suddenly fell ill, was it you who poisoned her?"

Empress Chen's face was filled with grievance, tears streaming down her face. She looked like a white lotus who had suffered a great injustice, yet stubbornly refused to defend herself. "Is this how I am, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Taihe naturally did not want to believe that she was such a vicious woman, but the facts were already before him, how could he believe it?

What's more, Chen Huan was carrying poison!

She has been making perfumes for many years. Doesn't she really know that those spices are poisonous?

Emperor Taihe felt creepy just thinking about the fragrances he had smelled in Fengyi Palace.

He had been smelling the fragrance for so long, had it already been poisoned into his lungs?

The more Emperor Taihe thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He wished he could ask Feng Xinyi to take his pulse immediately.

But he still didn't give up and asked, "Even now, you still refuse to plead guilty?"

Empress Chen smiled wryly, a deep sense of devastation evident in her expression. "If you want to accuse someone of something, you'll always find a pretext. How can Your Majesty ask me to confess to something I've never done?"

Xie Ying watched with gusto from the side, secretly winking at Situ Yuan: [Tsk tsk tsk, look at her acting skills, it's amazing! No wonder she's been able to deceive people for so many years! This sister is simply a white lotus chosen by heaven!]

Situ Yuan was speechless. It was already this late, and this guy still thought he was watching a TV series and was actually commenting on it here.

However, it must be said that Queen Chen’s acting skills are indeed amazing.

Unfortunately, there was no DNA paternity testing in ancient times, so relying solely on the current evidence is not enough to convict Empress Chen.

We have to think of other ways.

Situ Yuan suddenly looked at Concubine Li. Seeing the woman huddled nervously with a somewhat neurotic expression, he had an idea in his mind.

At this time, Xie Ying also noticed Li Jieyu. She was enjoying the fun and, taking advantage of the fact that no one could hear her, she kept muttering in her heart: "What is the relationship between Li Jieyu and Empress Chen? Why did Empress Chen go to such great lengths and risk her life to switch the children?"

This Concubine Li doesn't look like Empress Chen's biological daughter. The age difference between them isn't that big, right? Why would Empress Chen help her like that?

Could it be that Concubine Li's child wasn't a prince at all, but a child of the Chen family? Tsk tsk tsk, if this child hadn't died, the Chen family would have had a prince.

This cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest trick is so well played. Compared to them, Xu Yiyi and the fake daughter are nothing.

Situ Yuan glanced at her speechlessly, then suddenly asked the princess in a crisp voice, "Mother, how could they mistakenly recognize their child?"

When the princess saw everyone looking at her, she could only laugh helplessly and reached out to cover Situ Yuan's mouth: "Yuan'er, stop messing around!"

Situ Yuan dodged directly and said unconvincedly, "How did I act ridiculous? I didn't say anything wrong. It's obviously very strange that they can't even figure out who gave birth to my cousin. Mother, when I was born, could I have been taken away by mistake as well?"

The eldest princess glared at him helplessly and said subconsciously, "What nonsense are you imagining, child! You look so much like your father, how could you have been taken away by the wrong parents? I saw you being born with my own eyes!"

As soon as she said this, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Li immediately recalled the details of the delivery that year.

Concubine Jiang had a very difficult time giving birth to her child. When the child was finally born, she was so exhausted that she almost lost her life.

So although she took a look at the child at that time, she was too weak and her vision was blurry, so she couldn't see clearly.

When she woke up from her coma, she saw the child who later died.

She didn't think much about it at the time, because one of the midwives was arranged by the palace and the other was arranged by the Jiang family. She never thought that the prince she gave birth to could be switched.

But now that I think about it, her difficult labor, weakness, and blurred vision may have been caused by poisoning!

Thinking of this, Imperial Concubine Jiang immediately looked at Concubine Li and asked her coldly, "Li, do you still remember the details of the birth? When you gave birth to the child, did you see the child's appearance clearly?"

Mrs. Li shrank back nervously, but she said, "Of course I saw it clearly. Tao'er is my child. There's no way I'm wrong!"

At the end of her speech, she glared at Concubine Jiang with resentment and scolded her angrily, "Jiang Lin, don't think I don't know, isn't it because you can't give birth to a son that you want to steal my Tao'er?

In order to snatch Tao'er away, you actually got such a miraculous doctor and let her come to the palace to talk nonsense! You are so vicious! No wonder you can't give birth to a son! Jiang Lin, this is all your karma! "

These words were obviously a huge blow to Concubine Jiang. Her face turned pale almost instantly and her eyes were instantly filled with red bloodshot.

She sternly scolded, "Li, don't think you can act so recklessly! Confusing the royal bloodline is a grave sin. If you still refuse to tell the truth, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will not forgive you!"

Although Li Jieyu was very nervous, she was still unwilling to tell the truth.

Of course she remembered the details of that year.

But why should she tell Jiang Lin?

If Yang Tao is not her son, then her son was killed by Jiang Lin!

This bitch killed her son. Why should she tell the truth and help her enemy? Let them be reunited?

Anyway, His Majesty has only one prince, Tao'er. As long as she refuses to acknowledge him, Tao'er can only be her son!

She just didn't believe that His Majesty would torture Jiang Lin, an old woman who couldn't lay eggs, regardless of Tao'er's thoughts!

Thinking of this, she immediately cried to Yang Tao and begged: "Tao'er! I am your mother! Please save me!"

Yang Tao is only seven years old this year and has always been raised by Concubine Li, so he is naturally closest to her.

When he heard what Concubine Li said, he couldn't help but want to kneel down and plead for her.

Situ Yuan didn't want him to cause trouble again, so when he saw him about to kneel, he quickly ran over to hold him back. Then, pretending to be confused, he asked the princess, "Mother, what does it mean to confuse the royal bloodline? Isn't the little prince who died young my uncle's son?"

The eldest princess was so frightened that her face changed!

What kind of son did she give birth to? How dare he say such a life-threatening thing!

She subconsciously wanted to scold Situ Yuan, but her eyes involuntarily looked towards Concubine Li, and she happened to see her face full of panic.

The eldest princess: “???!!!”
