The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

Mrs. Zhang's body trembled slightly, and she slowly took out a Ruyi jade pendant from her sleeve.

The candlelight in the hall flickered slightly, making the jade pendant look even more transparent.

"Your Highness, Prince Rui, do you know why I have not given you a direct answer for so many years?"

"This jade pendant was personally handed to me by the late queen when she passed away, and I was asked to leave it to my child."

"Child?" Murong Che lowered his eyes slightly.

"As far as I know, the child died after my mother gave birth to him."

Madam Zhang shook her head repeatedly, put the jade pendant in her pocket, bit her lip and sobbed, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please save An'er."

"If you don't save him, you'll regret it."

Murong Che sat on the chair with a sullen face.

"Will the King regret it?"

"I ask you, where is the baby girl buried?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have saved Zhang Huaian."

Mrs. Zhang looked around and saw that there were people around, so she slowly closed her eyes.

"All of you go down." Murong Che ordered the guards and maids in the front hall.

After they left, only Murong Che, Madam Zhang and Fu Ying were left in the front hall of Prince Rui's mansion.

After seeing everyone leave, Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say something.

"The child is not dead, he is still alive."

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Che looked at her in confusion.

Even Fu Ying who was standing by was a little surprised.

"You said she's not dead?"

"Then where is she? I will find her."

Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, held the jade pendant in her hand, and reached out to gently stroke it.

"I originally wanted to give him the jade pendant on the day of his wedding so that you two brothers would have a chance to recognize each other."

“Who would have thought that he would end up in jail.”

"Huai'an is your biological brother."

Mrs. Zhang's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of Murong Che and Fu Ying.

The teacup in Murong Che's hand instantly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Fu Ying turned to look at Murong Che and saw that he was frowning tightly with a look of disbelief.

"Zhang Huaian is my biological brother?"

Madam Zhang said repeatedly: "Your Highness Prince Rui, please save him."

"The Dali Temple tortured him severely to force him to confess. I'm afraid he's half dead..."

"Please, Your Highness, save him. This will allow me to be worthy of the late Queen."

Murong Che asked: "Didn't they say that my mother gave birth to a daughter? Why... is it..."

Madam Zhang trembled and said, "When the queen was pregnant, she was pregnant with twins, and her belly was bigger than that of an ordinary woman."

"At that time, His Majesty believed the rumors and thought that the Queen was unfaithful to him, so he ignored the Queen and sent you away."

"The queen stayed alone in the palace, feeling depressed all day, which also affected the fetus in her belly."

"Until the birth, all the maids in the Empress's palace were bribed."

"I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I went to the harem to see her. That day, she was giving birth alone in her bedroom."

"There are two boys in the womb, and the first one is alive. Your Majesty put the jade pendant in my hand and asked your personal maid to cover me while I carried him away."

"Otherwise, if Your Majesty doubts the identity of this child and is provoked by others, this child will not survive."

"As for the other child, he was already dying when he was born and would not survive the night."

"As for later, I heard that the child... passed away."

"I brought the child back to the Zhang family and told the Marquis about it. He then decided to raise him."

"Later, rumors spread throughout the palace that the queen was pregnant with a baby girl, who died at birth."

Murong Che froze in place, and his heart ached when he thought of his mother's appearance when she was alive.

He reached out and took off the Ruyi jade pendant on his body.

Madam Zhang said, "Please, Your Highness, Prince Rui, save Huai'an, save your brother."

……

At the Yanjing government office, after Shen Li and Shen Mi visited Zhang Huaian, they got on the carriage and headed for the Shen Mansion.

Shen Li leaned back in the carriage and fell asleep from exhaustion.

Shen Mi held her in her arms, wiped away her tears, and looked at Yun Lan who was driving the carriage in front of her.

"Hurry up and send Sister back to the Shen Mansion first."

"I have to go to Prince Rui's Mansion later."

Yun Lan nodded, pulled the reins, patted the horse's back, and hurried towards the Shen Mansion.

In the Dali Temple prison, after seeing the two sisters of the Shen family leave, Lord Zhou of the Dali Temple signaled the jailer to drag Zhang Huaian out.

Inside the cell, the candlelight flickered slightly.

A piece of white rice paper was spread out on the table.

Dali Temple Minister Zhou sneered and said, "Prince Zhang, take a look at this confession. Are you satisfied?"

"Not bringing trouble to your Zhang family is already giving you the greatest face."

"If you have no objection, please sign and seal it."

Zhang Huaian was tortured to the point that he couldn't even stand. He collapsed on the ground and sneered.

"Okay, I'll sign."

"Give it to me, and I'll sign it."

Lord Zhou signaled to the jailer beside him to hand over the confession letter and then the pen.

Zhang Huaian reached out his hand tremblingly, took the confession, and then tore it into pieces.

He laughed and stared at Lord Zhou.

"My Great Yan Dali Temple has been established for so many years, but it is finally destroyed by you parasites. How sad, how sad!"

"You want me to sign? Dream on!"

Lord Zhou was angered, his eyes widened, and he cursed: "Okay, Zhang Huaian, you are really brave."

"Come here and be punished."

"I don't believe you, you are so thick-skinned!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several jailers walked over with iron whips in their hands.

Then, the iron whip hit Zhang Huaian again and again, and his screams echoed throughout the prison.

Mr. Zhou sat contentedly in a chair drinking tea.

He sighed softly, "Tonight, if you don't confess, you will die."

"Beat this officer hard until he admits it."

In half a cup of tea, Zhang Huaian was beaten and covered in blood.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"My lord, my lord...something bad has happened."

"grown ups."

Mr. Zhou put down the teacup, a little impatient, "What's the matter? Why are you so impatient?"

“King Rui…”

As soon as the guard finished speaking, a large group of guards went straight into the prison.

Before Lord Zhou could figure out the situation, he saw a tall figure walking out from the night.

The man had a stern expression and fierce eyes.

When he saw the man's face clearly, Lord Zhou jumped up from his chair.

Then he walked over flatteringly.

"Your Highness, what brings Your Highness here?"

"The son of the Zhang family has committed a grave mistake and deserves to die, Your Highness Prince Rui..."

Before Mr. Zhou could finish his words, he was suddenly kicked and fell hard under the table.

He screamed in pain but didn't react yet.

Then Murong Che came over with a whip with iron nails in his hand.

"Murong Che, I am a third-rank officer!"

"Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's blame?"

"what!"

Murong Che had a blank expression on his face as he glanced at Zhang Huaian who had fainted on the iron frame.

"So what if you are a third-rank officer?"

"Isn't it possible for the king to fight?"

The whip cracked, accompanied by Mr. Zhou's screams.

The jailer in the field was so frightened by the scene that he held his breath.

Lord Zhang was beaten until blood was all over his body and he screamed in pain.

Murong Che threw the whip casually and gave orders to the guards beside him.

"Tie up this dog official for me."

"Yes, Fourth Master." Several guards walked over, tied up Lord Zhou, and walked out of the prison.

At this moment, Zhang Huaian, who was tied to the iron frame, had fainted. He was in a half-asleep state when the chains were untied.

Murong Che ordered Fu Ying, "Have someone take him back to the Zhang family. I'll see who dares to move."
