After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 442 The Truth 1
After a while, Sun was brought up by the guards.

Her clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, and she looked as miserable as a beggar. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

"Repeat what you said to me."

After hearing what Lu Ji said, Sun was frightened and dared not to make excuses or delay any longer. She immediately confessed all the evil things she and Zhang had done.

"The princess's wet nurse, Zhang, is my aunt. She was originally married to a guard in the imperial city, but later that son-in-law committed a crime and was questioned. My aunt was already pregnant at the time, and was spared thanks to the princess's protection."

She glanced at Zhang, who looked ashen, and continued, "Later, she and the princess gave birth to a baby girl one after the other. The princess trusted her and made her the princess's wet nurse. But my aunt had evil intentions. She was worried that her daughter's status as a descendant of a criminal would make it difficult for her to get married in the future, so she had evil intentions."

"Sun, shut up." Zhang screamed like a trapped beast, "I don't know how much money you have deducted from me over the years, you ungrateful person."

Upon seeing this, the guards at the side came over immediately and blocked her mouth with a foreign object and pressed her roughly to the ground. Zhang could no longer move and could only whimper.

Seeing the guard's behavior, Sun was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. She collapsed to her knees and trembled.

"Go on." Lu Ji said in a calm voice.

Sun took a breath and continued, "My aunt first created the illusion that her daughter had died, secretly sent her out of the palace and raised her outside, and then took advantage of the princess and the prince's return to Qi to visit their relatives, and secretly switched the two children."

The wife of the Xian Prince was incredulous. She asked sternly, "There are so many people serving the princess. How could the others not notice Zhang's behavior?"

Sun wiped her tears and replied, "Although there are many couples around the princess, there are only three or four people who are truly qualified to be close to her, and my aunt is the leader. The others all follow her lead. A few days after the prince and princess left, my aunt gave the princess a kind of medicine. After taking the medicine, the princess' body was covered with small red bumps. My aunt stayed by the princess' side every day. Others were also a little worried about being infected. Seeing my aunt taking care of the princess, they did not approach her. After half a month, my aunt secretly brought her daughter into the palace and replaced the princess."

"Although the two children are about the same age, they look different. Are the others fools? Why can't they tell them apart?" Princess Xian couldn't help but question.

Sun sighed, "This is where the aunt's cleverness lies. She deliberately let the little princess get sick because she was worried that others would find out. After the baby was switched, a nurse named Qian became suspicious. The aunt said that it was because the little princess was sick that her appearance had changed. Besides, children change every day. In half a month, the change is still huge."

Speaking of this, Qian glanced at Zhang who was being held down by the guards, and continued, "My aunt has always been cruel. Qian became suspicious, so she got rid of her in a few days. She secretly put poison in Qian's tea. After taking the poison, she suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Even the doctors could not diagnose her. After only two days, Qian died. Everyone thought she was sick, and no one suspected anything."

"Except for my aunt, Qian was the most experienced servant girl in the service of the young princess. After Qian's death, the remaining servant girls were no longer a threat. My aunt was still worried that the matter would be exposed, so she later found various excuses to send those servant girls away." After hearing this, Prince Xian couldn't help but take a deep breath and muttered with a dejected look, "What a sin, what a sin."

The wife of the Xian Prince had already cried until she was exhausted, and she kept blaming herself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but the son died a few days after he was born. I was immersed in the pain of losing my son, and I neglected my daughter. Later, the prince saw that I was depressed, so he took me back to visit my parents. I was gone for several months. When I came back, I also found that the child had changed a lot, but I thought it was due to the child's growth and didn't think about other things."

"It's all my fault. I was so careless. I harmed the child."

Looking at the crying Princess Xian, Lu Ji gave her a reproachful look, and then questioned Sun: "After you switched the little princess, how did you treat her? Tell me the truth."

Sun knew that she could not escape the blame and this was her only chance for redemption. She immediately took a deep breath and replied, "My aunt is the most cruel. It was inconvenient for her to go out, so she handed the little princess to me. She asked me to strangle her to death and bury her."

She suddenly raised her voice: "I can't bear it. The little princess is so cute, like a porcelain doll, and loves to laugh. When I hold her in my arms, she smiles at me. It's so sweet that it makes my heart soften."

Lu Ji did not urge her and let Sun continue to speak in praise. However, Prince Xian and his wife could no longer bear it. One had a dejected look on his face, and the other was crying breathlessly.

Sun had praised enough, glanced at Lu Ji, and couldn't help but lower her voice: "I couldn't bear to kill the child, but my aunt was always powerful, so I had to listen to her. I did abandon the little princess in the back mountain."

"But I didn't kill her." She suddenly raised her voice again: "I just left her on the side of the road, hoping that someone passing by would pick her up."

Lu Ji didn't have the patience to listen to her continue to express her "kindness" and asked again: "What about Miss Qin?"

Sun said truthfully, "That Qin girl was originally the daughter of a criminal. She was originally working in the palace. Once she made a mistake and was about to be punished. Fortunately, she was caught by the princess and saved. She also asked the eunuch chief to let her work in the palace. She was good at sewing, so the princess asked her to help the little princess dress. She was in the outer courtyard of the princess and could only enter when she was making clothes for the princess. Once, she came to measure clothes for the princess and happened to hear Zhang and I planning. Zhang wanted to kill her and force her to drink poison, but somehow she didn't die and she escaped by chance. At that time, Zhang was busy with the princess's affairs and was careless, so she thought that Qin girl was dead."

She sighed, "Maybe she was grateful for the princess' kindness, so she secretly took her away after I threw the princess away."

After hearing this, the wife of the virtuous prince fell into reminiscence: "I remember there was a Qin girl in the palace, and her name seemed to be Lan Yu."

Sun said hurriedly: "Princess is right, that is her name."

"Since she saved the princess, why didn't she tell me this after the prince and I returned?" asked the Princess of Xian.
