Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 388 Asking for Grace

The Third Prince went to the Ministry of Works and no longer dared to stay with Concubine Yang every day, but he would go to pay his respects every day.

Concubine Yang became increasingly listless, and at this time, Jiang Yuxian was brought to the Dali Temple prison by Li Tongan, deputy commander of the Jinlin Guard, for interrogation. Emperor Shenwu requested that the baby in Jiang Yuxian's belly not be harmed, so Li Tongan was somewhat restrained. However, he had many capable people under his command, and someone came up with an idea to tie Jiang Yuxian to a pillar with all her limbs tightly bound. She was allowed to eat and drink normally, but he did not let her down. In just a few days, Jiang Yuxian's body was beaten beyond recognition.

When she regained consciousness, Jiang Yuxian finally understood that the Emperor Shenwu had done this on purpose. He had deliberately made her pregnant with this unclear child, and deliberately made her give birth to this illegitimate child. In Jiang Yuxian's plan, the Emperor Shenwu would be furious, and at the very least, he would torture her. Naturally, the child would be lost, and it would be even more difficult to explain the father of the child. Jiang Yuxian would use this opportunity to firmly assert that the child was the Emperor Shenwu's, making the Empress bear the reputation of jealousy and resentment, and the Emperor Shenwu bear the reputation of killing his own child!

But she had never expected the Emperor Shenwu to act so unexpectedly. These jailers had not tortured her, and were even deliberately protecting this evil child. Jiang Yuxian's heart was filled with hatred!

Especially at this moment, she was tied to a pillar with an extremely foul smell all over her body. She could not harm the child in her belly, but she also suffered enough!

Li Tongan looked at Jiang Yuxian's miserable state and sighed, "What? You still don't confess? You still don't tell me whose child this is? You're a rich lady. I heard that when you were at Miaoling Palace this year, Miss Jiang was so innocent and naive! Now you've fallen to this point. What are you trying to achieve?"

Jiang Yuxian said weakly, "No matter how many times I say it, it's the same. The child belongs to Your Majesty!"

Li Tongan sneered, "You're just being stubborn! His Majesty has issued a clear decree. He can wait until you give birth to this bastard. A blood test will prove everything! Even if you die right now, I can still take out the piece of meat in your belly and test your kinship with blood! I'm only sparing your life now for the sake of the man behind you! Do you think we have nothing better to do than keep an eye on you every day?"

Jiang Yuxian suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Li Tongan. The faint light in her eyes made Li Tongan slightly frightened.

Li Tongan immediately regained consciousness: "Who are you thinking of? Tell me!"

Lan Qingwu was reading the letter from the Sixth Prince in Fengqi Palace.

Emperor Shenwu was not in a good mood when he came in. After Ruping served tea, Lan Qingwu asked all the palace people to leave.

Lan Qingwu felt the stagnant atmosphere in the bedroom and had to ask, "Your Majesty, are you still angry?"

Emperor Shenwu threw the teacup in his hand onto the table. The cup tilted to one side and water flowed out in large amounts.

Emperor Shenwu said in a low voice, "I am just worried that the Third Prince is really useless!"

Lan Qingwu cleaned the table bit by bit in silence.

When she was about to withdraw her hand, Emperor Shenwu grabbed her hand and said, "Wei Ruo, there's no need to do these things!"

Lan Qingwu said softly, "Wei Ruo doesn't want others to see Brother Heng's temper. In fact, Brother Heng, I should have handled the matter of the concubine. After all, this is the business of the women in the palace. It's my fault that I didn't do it well!"

Emperor Shenwu shook his head: "I know you are concerned about the fact that the Third Prince is my prince."

Emperor Shenwu pulled Lan Qingwu over and sat him directly on his lap: "It's not right for you to interfere. Besides, there's Concubine Yang, your biological mother, here. Who knew that Concubine Yang would become more and more outrageous! She's totally out of her mind!"

Lan Qingwu also said, "What Concubine Yang did only made the Third Prince more embarrassed! Now that he's done favoring his concubine over his wife, the Lin family won't sit idly by, let alone get close to the Third Prince."

"Actually, I think Concubine Yang might be angry with me. Normally, she would never do anything that would harm the Third Prince."

Emperor Shenwu tightened his grip around Lan Qingwu's arm, "How could she be worthy of that?! Let's not talk about her anymore. Just accompany me and have a good rest! Did our Chu Ming send a letter? Let's take a look together!"

A few days later, the Third Prince solved a long-standing problem in the Ministry of Works. Emperor Shenwu was slightly relieved and was about to reward the Third Prince in the hall.

The third prince went to Qianzheng Hall privately to ask for an audience with Emperor Shenwu, and specifically asked Emperor Shenwu to grant him a favor.

Emperor Shenwu thought the Third Prince was going to pardon the concubine, and his expression darkened, but he still said, "Tell me! What do you want?"

The Third Prince hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Father, I would like to ask for some Nine-Ganoderma Lush Flower Dew. It is said to moisten the lungs, soothe asthma, and nourish the liver and kidneys. Father, I cannot bear to see Mother suffer every day. If you could use some Nine-Ganoderma Lush Flower Dew to alleviate her symptoms, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at the Third Prince and spoke carefully, "Who taught you this?"

The Third Prince hurriedly shook his head: "Father, I only ask for this one favor. I hope your Majesty will grant it!"

The third prince knelt on the ground and begged.
