Chapter 348 The Prince's Mystery: The Cannon Fodder Bride Forced into a Substitute Marquis's Marquisate VS The Frail and Early-Dying Eldest Son of the Marquis's Family (23)
Su Jinyue thought that she could actually prove it. There was a gene comparison instrument in Su Jinyue's space. As long as a little bit of blood from the relevant people was taken, it would be possible to find out what the relationship was between the two people.
Song Zhihua has disappeared without a trace, and Emperor Xinghe is far away in the palace and cannot contact him, but Lord Shen is in the Marquis's residence.
Su Jinyue has a mosquito blood-drawing device in her space. The needle tip is coated with a small amount of anesthetic, so when drawing blood, it looks like a mosquito bite and she won't be detected.
Once we have Lord Shen's blood and compare it with Shen Huaizhi's, we can know whether their guesses are correct.
Once the results are in, Su Jinyue can gradually verify her guesses and uncover the whole truth about Shen Huaizhi's background!
However, only she and Shen Huaizhi knew this result; they couldn't explain the so-called scientific gene comparison to these ancient people, and they wouldn't believe it anyway.
Therefore, if Shen Huaizhi truly wants to restore his original identity, he needs to find other evidence...
However, thinking about those things is still a long way off. For now, we can focus on the present and get the paternity test done for Lord Shen and Shen Huaizhi. We can deal with other things after we get the results.
Shen Huaizhi was unaware that Su Jinyue's thoughts had already gone too far and she was about to put them into action.
Shen Huaizhi could only hold Su Jinyue's hand tightly; it seemed that she was all he had left now.
"My wife, you're all I have left. I'm so grateful to have you. If you don't mind, then we..."
Su Jinyue covered Shen Huaizhi's mouth to stop him from saying those things that belittled him.
"My husband, now that I've married you, we are one, husband and wife, and will never be separated. No matter who you are, no matter what your status is, to me, you have only one identity: my man!"
Shen Huaizhi was deeply moved, and he couldn't help but hug Su Jinyue.
Before he got married, no, before he met Su Jinyue, his life was bleak. But Su Jinyue's arrival gradually brightened his world. Shen Huaizhi could no longer imagine life without Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue is Shen Huaizhi's salvation!
"Let's just live like this then," Shen Huaizhi thought, holding the precious treasure in his arms. Those identities and truths really didn't matter to him. He just wanted his wife, Su Jinyue, by his side.
Su Jinyue was still somewhat worried, but she couldn't explain these concerns to Shen Huaizhi.
In the previous life's storyline, Shen Huaizhi's identity was not revealed, which may be related to his early death.
But now that Shen Huaizhi's health is gradually improving, and Su Jinyue is also planning to work on detoxifying him, his fate of dying young has been changed.
As long as Shen Huaizhi lives, his true identity will be discovered one day!
Moreover, Song Zhihua, who might be Shen Huaizhi's biological mother, is most likely faked her death, so she will eventually return.
Emperor Xinghe killed Song Zhihua's entire clan, and Song Zhihua also took Emperor Xinghe's son away. The two seemed to have broken ties, but Su Jinyue dared not draw such a conclusion so hastily.
Who knows what Song Zhihua was thinking? The thought process of someone in love is beyond the comprehension of a normal person.
If she really wanted to avenge her family, why didn't she just kill Emperor Xinghe? Why go through all that trouble to fake her death and take Shen Huaizhi with her?
When Song Zhihua returns, no matter how entangled she is with Emperor Xinghe, any decision she makes will affect Shen Huaizhi's life. Constrained by his status, Shen Huaizhi will inevitably be dragged into it.
And this is the last thing Su Jinyue wanted to see!
Su Jinyue thought that she needed to detoxify Shen Huaizhi as soon as possible, and then develop her own power so that she could deal with the changes that were about to happen more quickly.
However, Shen Huai had been poisoned for too long, and it would take a considerable amount of time to detoxify him.
The attendants around Shen Huaizhi were arranged by Lord Shen and cannot be trusted. Since they live in the manor, the manor doctor will come to examine them. During the detoxification process, Shen Huaizhi's pulse will naturally change. If the manor doctor discovers the abnormality and reports it to Lord Shen, it would be bad if something unexpected happened.
Ideally, I would like to leave the Marquis's mansion for a period of time, but how can I leave the mansion legitimately?
For as long as Shen Huaizhi held Su Jinyue, Su Jinyue pondered the situation, but even after Shen Huaizhi calmed down and composed himself, Su Jinyue still couldn't come up with a solution.
Shen Huaizhi put the question of his origins out of his mind and finally became interested in asking Su Jinyue what exactly happened at the Grand Princess Ning'an's flower-viewing banquet.
Speaking of this, Su Jinyue also became interested, and she enthusiastically told Shen Huaizhi the whole story of what happened to Shen Yuxi.
"Shen Yuxi is at the prime of her life, and she can be engaged after her coming-of-age ceremony, but she is now being targeted by two princes. The eldest prince is actively plotting against her, while the third prince seems unaware, but the people around him want to tie the third prince to the Xuanping Marquis's mansion."
What is it about the Marquis of Xuanping's residence that has attracted the attention of both princes?
Shen Huaizhi pondered for a moment and said, "Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Marquis Xuanping has been a confidant of successive emperors. The Marquis Xuanping's mansion is low-key, but it has a profound foundation."
All previous Marquises of Xuanping were royalists and never participated in the princes' power struggles; the eldest and third princes had both miscalculated.
But Su Jinyue was puzzled when she recalled what Shen Huaizhi had said earlier.
"But didn't you just say that 18 years ago, when Emperor Xinghe, Tang Jinxuan, was still the Crown Prince, Marquis Shen, Shen Mingze, supported the Crown Prince and followed him? How could Marquis Xuanping still be a royalist?"
Shen Huaizhi smiled and explained to Su Jinyue, "Then you are unaware that during the late emperor's reign, the imperial power was stable, His Majesty made decisions independently, and there was no animosity between the late emperor and the crown prince."
Marquis Xuanping was a member of the royalist party. The late emperor had already established a crown prince, and the old marquis had Shen Mingze, who was then the heir apparent, follow the crown prince. This was a way of showing support for the late emperor and demonstrating loyalty to him.
But the situation is different now. Emperor Xinghe has not yet established a crown prince, so the Xuanping Marquis's mansion will not easily express its opinion. Emperor Xinghe will not be happy that the eldest prince and the third prince are so eager to drag the Xuanping Marquis down with them.
Fortunately, their final scheme failed, and there was still room for redemption. Otherwise, if things had been exposed, Shen Yuxi would have been the one in the worst position…”
Su Jinyue understood that the succession of imperial power in every dynasty was cruel. Now that the emperor was getting old and the princes were gradually gaining power, the struggle for the throne was beginning to emerge.
Whether by choice or by force, the eldest prince and the third prince's desire to marry the Marquis of Xuanping reveals their ambition to seize the throne.
If Shen Yuxi is successfully framed, regardless of whether the one with whom she has intimate relations is the eldest prince or the third prince, the Xuanping Marquis's mansion will find it difficult to remain unscathed.
Su Jinyue was more inclined to believe that the Xuanping Marquis's mansion would not easily favor any particular prince. Therefore, in order to show loyalty to Emperor Xinghe, Shen Yuxi, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion, was a sacrifice abandoned in the power struggle.
Su Jinyue sighed. If things really happened, the best ending for Shen Yuxi would be to spend her life as a Buddhist nun.
