Chapter 398 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (6)
Wangyou shoved Nangong Sheng's hand away, "Fine, I won't look then."
The palace banquet ended rather abruptly, and Wangyou prepared to find something to do.
She fled the palace overnight and found the counterfeit goods. At this time, she was under the care of that assassin's sycophant, and her life had not changed much.
With a flick of her wrist, Wangyou scattered fine powder, causing the assassin and An Jiaojiao to collapse to the ground, both fully conscious.
Immediately afterwards, a delicate dagger appeared in Wangyou's hand, and slowly, slashed their faces one by one, before severing their tendons.
Then, Wangyou had another small hammer in her hand. With this hammer, she slowly smashed their limbs. She liked to torture people, so she figured they would like it too.
After finishing all this, it was already late, so Wangyou returned to the palace. As for whether they could survive, that depended on their willpower.
That day, Wangyou woke up a little late.
"Princess, Her Majesty the Empress has gone mad," Peach Blossom brought this message to Forget-Worry.
"He's gone mad. He was perfectly fine yesterday. How could he suddenly go crazy?" Wangyou said, wiping her hands.
"I heard that news came from outside the palace that Miss Jiaojiao's face was disfigured and her limbs were broken. Her Majesty the Empress couldn't accept it and went mad."
After a moment of contemplation, Wangyou realized that this development was rather strange. It seemed that the fake item held a very special place in the Empress's heart. Could it be that the Empress had taken the initiative to switch it? If so, then everything would make sense.
But why would the Queen of a nation personally switch her own child and cruelly have someone kill her? It's just that Wangyou was lucky enough to survive. Thinking back to when she was in the village, the old monster often said that it was a miracle that she was alive. The huge handprint on her neck shows the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the person who did it.
If the Empress herself did it, how ruthless would she be? Even tigers don't eat their cubs. In that case, whether the Empress is insane or not remains to be seen.
"Have breakfast first, then go see my dear mother."
After finishing breakfast, Wangyou led a few people directly to Fengming Palace. The guards outside Fengming Palace wanted to report to them, but Wangyou stopped them and led her people straight in.
"It's her! It must be her who ruined my Jiaojiao! I must kill her! Why? Why is she still alive? Why isn't she dead?!"
"Mother, Jiaojiao is already ruined. You can't afford to have anything happen to her." The Crown Prince's voice was filled with grief.
“That bitch, I can kill her, and I can kill her daughter. Zhan’er, kill her, kill her to avenge Jiao Jiao.”
With a "bang," Wangyou kicked the door open and saw the horrified faces of the Empress and the Crown Prince. She went up and kicked each of them unconscious.
"Taozhi, go and inform my father." After saying that, Wangyou began searching the entire Fengming Palace. Anyone who dared to stop her was either kicked unconscious or kicked to death.
When Taozhi arrived, the morning court session had not yet ended, so she could only wait anxiously outside.
After searching around Fengming Palace for a quarter of an hour, Wangyou found a mechanism on the head of the Guanyin statue that grants children. After opening it, she discovered an underground passage.
Wangyou went straight in and found a skeleton that had been dead for many years, as well as a emaciated boy on the ground.
"Princess, he looks exactly like His Highness the Crown Prince." Tao Yao was completely stunned.
"Stop talking nonsense, help me carry the person out first, then summon the imperial physician."
[Host, what's going on? There's a secret passage in the Queen's palace, and someone's hiding there.]
If I'm not mistaken, that skeleton is my biological mother, and this boy should be my real older brother.
[No, it wasn't mentioned in the plot!]
This is the real world, not some fictional story. Don't bother me, I'm going to beat up this beast.
When Wangyou went out, Nangong Sheng also rushed over. He was stunned when he saw the person that Wangyou and Taoyao were supporting.
"Where is the imperial physician?"
"Forget-Me-Not, what's going on?"
"The situation is that I suspect the empress and the crown prince are both fake, and that they were switched many years ago."
“How come…” Nangong Sheng was speaking when he suddenly stopped, clearly thinking of something.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and took the pulse of the emaciated boy. He concluded that the boy's long-term malnutrition and abuse were likely to shorten his lifespan.
"Father, what have you thought of? Tell me quickly."
Nangong Sheng waved his hand, dismissing everyone.
Thirteen years ago, Nangong Sheng led a large army to personally conquer the Northern Rong. At that time, the Empress was already pregnant. However, the matter of the Northern Rong could not be ignored. In order to allow the Empress to have peace of mind during her childbirth, he ordered the Duchess of Fuguo, who was also the Empress's mother, to enter the palace to accompany her during childbirth.
It was a year later when he returned to the palace, but he found that the Empress's temperament had changed drastically. He found this very strange and sent people to investigate for a long time. He also learned that some women's temperaments change before and after childbirth, so he put the matter aside.
But after that, he stopped going to Fengming Palace, and the relationship between the couple faded away, which went unnoticed all these years.
Wangyou rolled her eyes at Nangong Sheng. This reason was simply absurd. It just meant that he didn't love her deeply enough, otherwise how could he not have noticed?
The Duke of Fuguo and his family were quickly brought into the palace. Wangyou was too lazy to listen to their sophistry and directly applied the medicine. Soon, they vomited up everything they should and shouldn't have said.
It turns out that the Duchess of Fuguo gave birth to twin daughters. The two girls looked exactly alike, but their temperaments and personalities were very different, and they were not as favored as they were. As soon as the two children began to have disagreements, they were raised separately.
Unfortunately, the eldest daughter was sent away to Jiangnan to be raised, while the second daughter was pampered and spoiled by her parents.
The couple treated their second daughter very well from a young age, but from the time she was old enough to understand, they made her wear a human skin mask. Over time, no one remembered that the twins looked exactly alike.
The eldest daughter, who grew up in Jiangnan, unexpectedly met Nangong Sheng. Over time, they developed feelings for each other, and Nangong Sheng directly asked the late emperor for a marriage decree.
From then on, the Duke and his wife began to plan. They arranged for their second daughter to marry into a family, and the two sisters got married on the same day. Even their pregnancies occurred around the same time.
Then, thirteen years ago, while the emperor was away on a campaign, and the empress trusted her maternal family, it can only be said that the Duke and his wife acted so well that no one knew that the empress and the crown prince were replaced that very night.
The newborn daughter was strangled and thrown away.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Sheng was furious and immediately ordered the Duke of Fu's house to be ransacked, and then his entire family to be beheaded and their heads displayed to the public.
Wangyou was also quite curious about how she was able to survive back then, but she still walked up to the unconscious Nangong Zhizhan, observed his face, and then removed a human skin mask.
