Chapter 218
Nangong Xi said again in a deep voice:
"Where is the imperial physician? Check the food to see if there is any poison in it."
"Yes."
The imperial physician who had been on standby did not dare to neglect, hurried forward, checked for a while, and finally cupped his hands and said:
"Reporting to the prince, the porridge is indeed poisonous."
"Hmph, now that there are all the witnesses and evidence, Ge Lirong, what else do you have to say?"
Nangong Xi slapped the table and asked sharply.
"..."
By this time, Second Auntie had nothing to say, she prostrated herself on the ground sobbing for a while with a painful expression, and finally raised her head, as if she had exhausted all her strength and said to Zhu Jing:
"My lord, this thing was really done by my servant. The poison was also put into the porridge by my servant. Zichan is really innocent! Please forgive her! Every mistake is the fault of this servant." , I beg you, servant girl!"
While talking, she kowtowed on the ground continuously!
Zhu Jing stared at this scene, as if he couldn't believe it.I didn't say a word for a long time.
"Master Hou, I still have a case to investigate, and that case is inseparably related to the two mothers and daughters."
Nangongxi refused to give Zhu Jing a chance to breathe, and said again.
"Prince, please speak!"
Zhu Jing's voice was hoarse, and he said in a low voice.
"Okay! This matter is about Zixin's disappearance. Since it's about Zixin, she should talk about it herself."
After Nangongxi finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Zixin who had not said a word. She had been standing behind Nangongxi. Seeing Nangongxi signaling herself to speak, she just took two steps forward, stood in front of Zhu Jing, and looked at the ground. The second aunt and Zhu Zichan said:
"I think Daddy should already know the ins and outs of this matter, so I don't need to say more? I'll just talk about what Daddy doesn't know."
After a pause, she said again:
"I must have thought that my disappearance was caused by King Ji, but it was not the case. The reason why I was taken away by King Ji was because of Zhu Zichan!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Zixin looked at Zhu Zichan with cold eyes!Thinking of those days on the small island, she wished she could be torn to pieces!
At this time, Zhu Zichan also met her gaze without fear.She was a different person from the pitiful look just now. Perhaps, at this moment, she had realized that she was doomed, so she didn't plan to run away anymore!
"That day, when I came back from outside, Zhu Zichan was waiting outside my Dongli Garden. When I passed by, he deliberately talked to me. After that, when I didn't pay attention, he used a drug to stun me, and then Together with King Ji, they took me to a strange island. I must have guessed what will happen next."
Having said that, Zhu Zixin looked at Zhu Jing with some sarcasm.
"You were afraid that I would tarnish your reputation, so you told everyone that I was dead, but when you gave up my daughter, I lived a life on that unknown island that would have been worse than death." Life."
After a pause, the corners of Zhu Zixin's lips curled into a smile, and then said:
"Fortunately, the elder brother didn't give up on me, and His Royal Highness didn't give up on me. They risked their lives and finally found out my whereabouts and rescued me. However, after returning, I found out that Daddy, you don't want to recognize me at all! You have always The one I like the most is Zhu Zichan, I know that, but what she did has already violated the criminal law of Yue Kingdom?"
In the last sentence, Zhu Zichan asked sonorously and forcefully, leaving Zhu Jing's question speechless.
After a long while, he looked up guiltily, and said to Zhu Zixin:
"All these years, it's dad who's sorry for your mother and daughter! It's dad who made a mistake!"
After speaking, there were actually two lines of clear tears in his eyes.
Zhu Jing really understood that he was wrong. The moment he knew Ying'er's identity, he knew that he was wrong. All these years, he has been ignoring his wife and hating her deeply in his heart. In the end, I realized that the cruelest and most inhuman person is myself!Regardless of his own son, he ignored him, and even killed his own daughter!However, this day finally came, and his retribution came!
When he learned that Zhu Ziyi was his own flesh and blood, and that his wife was innocent, the fortress he had insisted on for many years suddenly collapsed, and his soul distorted by hatred was instantly submerged in the sea of regret.
He couldn't face his previous self, and couldn't find a reason for atonement for his original self!
He even felt that he was heinous and that he would be beyond redemption!
Zhu Jing has lived for so many years, and he has never hated himself so much!Therefore, he has always been in a trance, unable to accept the twisted and deformed self over the years.
"..." When he said this, Zhu Zixin was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhu Jing, who was as conceited as Zhu Jing, would say such a thing.
"I didn't expect that you would admit your mistake! The sun really came out from the west!"
Zhu Zixin laughed unceremoniously.
When she said this, Zhu Jing's face turned red and then turned pale. It was the first time in his life that he was ridiculed by his daughter in front of so many people.However, Zhu Jing didn't say anything, just bowed his head and sighed.
"Since Daddy and you have nothing to say, then Zixin will dare to say another thing."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Nangong Xi, and Nangong Xi nodded, motioning for her to continue talking.
Zhu Zixin just said:
"Father, what happened between Chu Hong and Gu Ming was also done by this mother and daughter. At the beginning, the person who went to Gu Ming's house and pretended to deliver the letter was Second Aunt. She tricked Gu Ming here and knocked him out again. , put it on Chu Hong's bed, and let you see it on purpose. The purpose is to get rid of your own son. Later, thanks to the prince's rescue, Chu Hong's life and your own son's life were saved! At this time, The child has already been born, if you don't believe me, you can do a blood test on the spot!"
After Zhu Zixin finished speaking, she calmly waited for Zhu Jing's answer. Of course, as a modern person, she didn't believe in the nonsense of blood tests, but this ancient person believed it deeply. In this case, she Just use this method to convince them!
She knew that as long as some salt was put in the water, no matter who the blood was, it could coagulate together.
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
Sure enough, when Zhu Jing heard the words, he immediately raised his head and asked like a chicken blood.
"..."
Looking at him lazily, unable to hide the disdain in his eyes, Zhu Zixin said:
"Of course it's true."
"Then quickly... quickly..."
After saying a few words, Zhu Jing's eyes suddenly dimmed again. Thinking of his cruelty to Chu Hong back then, he felt ashamed to see their mother and son again.
Before today, perhaps, based on Zhu Zixin's few words, he would never believe that Chu Hong was innocent. However, today's incident hit him too hard, and Caidie's words completely negated what he had done these years. His wife is not as insidious and cunning as he imagined, but he has been cruel to her. His own son is in front of him, but he turns a blind eye. All he does is to dress him and feed him. His biological daughter, how has he treated her these years?At the least, he is indifferent and turns a blind eye; at the worst, he pretends to be deaf and dumb to the bullying of the second aunt, mother and daughter, and even, for the sake of his own reputation, he does not hesitate to announce to the outside world that she is dead. , What you did was too incompetent!
It turned out that his eyes had always been blinded by suspicion and conceit, and he always only believed what he saw. He had doubts about Chu Hong, and he had doubts when Gu Ming's mother found the Hou's mansion. However, as soon as he remembered the scene at that time, he overturned the doubts in his heart. The reason why he hid Gu Ming's mother in an inn in the capital was for this reason.He has been refusing to admit that he was wrong. He is afraid that she will tell the whole story about me to outsiders. Zhu Jing, who values reputation more than anything else, uses this method to keep the old man in his power within range.
Now, hearing Zhu Zixin talk about it, he has obviously been shaken.
"Come here, bring Chu Hong's mother and daughter, Gu Ming, and Gu Mingniang together."
Zhu Zixin ignored Zhu Jing's expression and raised his voice.
Several people were already waiting at the outer door, and when they heard the voice, they all walked in.
Zhu Jing glanced at everyone, and asked Chu Hong in a deep voice:
"This child is really mine?"
Chu Hong hugged the baby in her arms tightly, and when she heard this, she sneered and said:
"I wish he wasn't your own flesh and blood!"
As soon as she said this, Zhu Jing's body visibly shook, and after a while he said:
"In this case, let's do a blood test first. It really is the old man's child. The old man would rather kowtow to his wife and confess!"
Zhu Jing's voice seemed very old and tired, but he still insisted on blood testing, which showed that he still had doubts in his heart. Chu Hong sneered again. She had no nostalgia for this person, but it was just to prove Only because of my innocence, I was willing to come.
Nangongxi raised her hand, and immediately someone brought a bowl of water over. Zhu Zixin took the needle from the servant girl's hand, poked it on the baby's finger, and squeezed out a few drops of blood. The baby cried out in pain , Chu Hong hugged him distressedly, patted him, and he stopped crying immediately.
Zhu Jing took the needle himself, and walked over on his own initiative, pricked his finger, and dripped a few drops of blood into it. Sure enough, the two drops of blood quickly merged into one.
"It really is my child!"
Zhu Jing's face suddenly brightened, and he said excitedly.
After finishing speaking, she reached out to hug the child, but Chu Hong withdrew her body and said coolly:
"Master, when we drowned our mother and daughter in the river, why didn't you think that today would be the same? If I hadn't been rescued by the crown prince at that time, how could you have seen this child?"
"..."
Amid such accusations, Zhu Jing froze instantly. After a while, he finally bowed his head and said:
"It's all the old man's fault. I shouldn't have distrusted my wife. I shouldn't have listened to the provocative words of this wicked woman. It's all my fault. Ma'am, please give this old man a chance to make up for what I have done to you in the future. Mother and son owe it!"

"Yes."
