Although the Emperor didn't say it out loud, he knew very well in his heart: if the Third Prince were the Emperor's own blood, there might still be hope for this matter.

But if he's not of the Emperor's bloodline...

For the Wen family, not only would disaster be imminent, but their precious daughter would also be in a dire situation.

No woman in the harem dares to put a green hat on the Emperor.

Madam Xu must have cried her eyes red.

From the moment Minister Wen entered the palace until he left, she never stopped crying.

Minister Wen paced back and forth in the hall, his hands clasped behind his back, restlessly: "You cry! What face do you have to cry? Speak up. Just say it directly, maybe the Emperor will give you a swift end."

"Old Wen, you can't ignore me. I know this is my fault, but I don't want to die. And our daughter, Jiao'er.

Qingyuan is in prison, there's no hope for him. Our daughter can't lose her position as a Concubine; otherwise, the Wen family will never recover in this lifetime."

"At this point, you still talk about this? Your daughter put a green hat on the Emperor; does she want our Wen family to live in peace? I really didn't expect this. I have been loyal to the Emperor in the court, and you actually sabotage me in the harem. You're causing trouble for the Emperor!"

Minister Wen was infuriated.

Madam Xu fell to her knees with a thud, "Even if you scold me to death, I still don't know who the real parents of the Third Prince are."

Minister Wen was stunned, "What do you mean? Isn't this your idea?"

Madam Xu's tears fell, "It was my idea, but it was just an idea. Jiao'er accepted it. But at that time, it wasn't entirely my doing. I was just someone talking from the sidelines. More of the knowledge about this matter is with Jiao'er."

Minister Wen felt numb.

He vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this matter.

It seemed like there was a huge conspiracy behind the child exchange.

Those who had this suspicion were not only Minister Wen but also the Emperor.

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Tiansheng was deeply troubled by this matter.

"An'er." Emperor Tiansheng's mood was clearly unhappy.

Di Zian stood by, "Father, I'm here."

"Do you think a woman would do something as extreme as swapping children just for the sake of favor?"

Just now, when Minister Wen spoke, Di Zian was present and knew all about it.

Ah Bao had dozed off in the chair and woke up.

Groggily, he heard the conversation between the father and son.

"I think it's possible. Father, from what you're saying, is there something else behind the Third Prince's situation?"

"Back then, Concubine Hui was not favored. Even after she had the Third Prince, she was still not favored.

Whether she had a son or not, the result was the same for her.

Yet she still dared to commit the act of swapping children."

Concubine Hui was not a woman of just superficial beauty.

This act carried immense risk.

Once exposed, it would lead to certain death.

What maConcubine De Hui willingly risk her life to do this?
