The old prince knew how much he was worth, so he had never thought of snatching the throne.
However, when he entered the capital back then, the late emperor’s high and mighty appearance in a dragon robe left a deep impression on him.!!
Therefore, three years after the late emperor passed away, he secretly hired a few embroiderers to make one for him in the residence.
The dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon took ten years to complete.
He didn’t tell anyone about this matter, including his consort. For some reason, Shangguan Pu found out about this.
Shangguan Pu didn’t expose him and only took the dragon robe away. At first, he thought that he was going to destroy it.
It was not until he found the familiar dragon robe in the East Palace that he reacted. At that time, he was already on Shangguan Pu
t
s side, so he naturally wouldn’t expose him.
Actually, this was also the reason why he believed Noble Consort Liu’s words about Shangguan Pu being his son.
Shangguan Pu had something on him, but he didn’t harm him. He felt that this must be his son.
Now that he thought about it, Shangguan Pu simply felt that there was no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. A good knife should be used on something better.
He was a chicken, and the position of the Eastern Palace was a knife’s edge.
How infuriating!
A murderous glint flashed across Song Jingchen’s eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, “How can I prove that you’re telling the truth?”
The old prince inexplicably felt a chill down his spine. He shrank his neck and said, “The embroiderers I invited to the residence back then were all witnesses.”
At that time, he was not so cruel. After the dræon robe was completed, he onlv poisoned the embroiderers to make them mute and blind, and broke their hands. He did not take their lives directly.
However, he did not know where those people had gone.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. If this wasn’t considered cruel, how much torture did those innocent women have to endure?
“That’s why Shangguan Pu is your true enemy. Are you going to watch your enemy take that position?”
The old prince was still saying that he had only provided the dragon robe. He had no idea that Shangguan Pu was using it to frame the Eastern Palace and even caused the entire Bulwark Duke’s residence to be destroyed.
Shen Yijia could not take it anymore. She reached out and picked him up, slapping him twice.
Did he have nothing better to do? Without that dragon robe, would Shangguan Pu have been able to frame the late crown prince so easily?
The old prince spat out a mouthful of blood and said in fear, “You… just… promised not to pursue the matter…”
“My husband promised, not me.” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes and punched him twice without any burden.
The old prince had been terrified and exhausted these days. How could he withstand it? When Shen Yijia’s third punch was about to land, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
“So weak?” she thought.
Shen Yijia picked him up and shook him. After confirming that he had fainted, she threw him aside.
Knowing that Song Jingchen must be feeling terrible now, she turned around and said carefully, “Hubby…”
Song Jingchen came back to his senses and took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe her hands. He said softly, “You don’t have to dirty your hands for such a person in the future.”
Shen Yijia nodded meekly.
Song Jingchen put away his handkerchief and rubbed her head. “Let’s go back first.”
Actually, Song Jingchen had been investigating what had happened back then after returning to the capital. The dragon robe wasn’t like those letters.
It was not something that could be completed overnight. There would be waves after the water passed, so there were naturally many things to investigate.
Therefore, this had been within his range of investigation.
However, he looked at the princes and ignored the old prince who did not have much of a presence.
After returning to Liu’er Street, Song Jingchen sent One Dot and the others out overnight.
It had been more than ten years since the old prince invited those embroiderers into the residence. It was not easy to investigate who was among them.
However, because they had already investigated again a few months ago and had confirmed the exact time and who had invited them away, One Dot and the others did not spend too much time to bring back the news.
“There were a total of five embroiderers who entered Prince Xia’s residence back then.” One Dot placed a stack of rice paper on the table in front of Song Jingchen.
It recorded the names, addresses, and families of the five embroiderers.
“The five of them were all embroiderers with good skills in the capital. Back then, the old prince brought them to his residence with the excuse that he wanted to hire a special embroiderer for the old princess consort. They never appeared in the capital again.”
Song Jingchen quickly scanned the contents of the rice paper and knocked on the table.. “What about their families?
