Chapter 464 Shen Zhikang is dead
Shen Zhikang died, and his life ended in complete failure.
Song Yunxi looked at the dead Shen Zhikang, and she did not feel the pleasure of revenge as she had imagined. For her, the grudge between her and Shen Zhikang was caused by the world, and that little personal grudge was not worth her so much effort.
"Shen Zhikang is dead, and only the final mastermind is left."
Song Yunxi's voice was cold and emotionless: "It's really admirable that you hid it so deeply!"
Ye Xuanqi looked into the distance with cold eyes: "Finally, this moment has come."
Ye Xuanke pointed at Shen Zhikang and asked, "Do you want to bury him?"
"No need."
Ye Xuanqi said decisively: "Since he is a member of the Wei clan, let him be buried here with his clansmen."
After that, the surrounding ruins collapsed, burying Shen Zhikang's body.
On the way back, Ye Xuanke had no idea what he was thinking about, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ye Xuanqi could ignore it, but Song Yunxi couldn't stand it any longer: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart, okay?"
The mystery made her feel itchy and she wanted to pull the words out of his throat.
"Then I'll tell you!"
This was the moment he had been waiting for.
Song Yunxi rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said, "Let him go."
Ye Xuanke smiled and leaned closer to her: "Shen Zhikang is the biological son of Uncle Prince Yu, right?"
Seeing that the two did not respond, Ye Xuanke continued, "Song Muxue is also Uncle Yu's biological daughter, right?"
In the past, I thought Ye Xuanrong and Song Muxue were real relatives, but now that the truth is out, I know that Shen Zhikang and Song Muxue are real siblings.
If Xuanrong and Song Muxue hadn't violated moral principles that night, why did they give birth to a stillborn baby with half its face?
Ye Xuan Ke had doubts, and of course Ye Xuan Qi had them too, but he did not express them like Ye Xuan Ke did.
Ye Xuanke's eyes were fixed on Song Yunxi, as if he was very sure that she knew the truth.
Sure enough, Song Yunxi did not disappoint him and said indifferently: "Her giving birth to a faceless stillborn baby has nothing to do with ethics, okay?"
Ye Xuanke blinked: So what?
Song Yunxi cleared her throat: "You all know that Song Muxue was injured when she was young because she saved Shen Zhikang."
Uh-huh, so what?
In order to sow discord between Shen Zhikang and Ye Xuanrong, Song Yunxi used drugs to help Song Muxue get pregnant with Ye Xuanrong's child.
With a body that was so damaged, and with the use of drugs to assist in conception, that child was destined not to come into the world, and would only live for half a year at most.
But later, due to the situation, Song Yunxi had to use drugs again to stabilize the fetus and let it reach full term.
How is it possible to conceive and give birth to a healthy child under such circumstances?
"That child was stillborn at eight months old."
After listening to Song Yunxi's words, the two brothers finally understood.
Ye Xuanqi understood and said, "So the abnormality of the fetus was caused by the drugs?"
He had heard from Song Yunxi that the drugs had a serious impact on the fetus.
"Yes, it has nothing to do with ethics at all."
After returning to the palace, he informed Emperor Qinglong of Shen Zhikang's life experience and his past.
Emperor Qinglong was quite surprised that Shen Zhikang was actually Ye Mingcheng's son, but when he thought of Ye Mingcheng's character, he understood it to some extent.
"He has always been cautious and suspicious, and he doesn't trust Shen Yaoqin, so it makes sense that he would swap his child."
Shen Yaoqin indeed attached great importance to the Shen family and Shen Zhikang. When she was in favor in the past, she often spoke well of Shen Zhikang and asked for benefits in front of him, so that he also attached great importance to Shen Zhikang because of his love for Shen Zhikang.
At that time, he often felt that Shen Yaoqin was closer to her nephew than to her son, and he had secretly complained and gotten angry about this.
No wonder Ye Mingcheng would swap the two children. It seems he knows Shen Yaoqin too well.
Emperor Qinglong shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect there would be such a change."
Emperor Qinglong was silent for a long time and asked, "Does Shen Wanming know Shen Zhikang's background?"
His judgment was that Shen Wanming was not aware of the situation, otherwise how could he go to such great lengths to help an outsider who was not his biological grandson?
Ye Xuan Ke also felt the same way: "I also think he is ignorant. If he knew that Ye Xuanrong was his grandson, he would definitely help Ye Xuanrong at all costs."
Ye Xuanqi said nothing, and Song Yunxi didn't know what he was thinking.
Coming out of Chongzheng Hall, Ye Xuanqi asked Song Yunxi: "What do you think about Shen Wanming's matter?"
Song Yunxi knew that he had the same idea as her, so she expressed her suspicion: "I always feel that there is some secret between Shen Zhikang and Shen Wanming."
When she was in Weijia Village, she asked Shen Zhikang whether Shen Wanming knew that he was not a descendant of the Shen family. He did not answer at the time, but changed the subject.
Ye Xuanqi also noticed this detail: "So I want to interrogate Shen Wanming again."
Even if you can't pry open his mouth, you can still get some clues from his subtle expressions and movements.
Song Yunxi said decisively: "I'll go with you."
She was really curious about who was the person that Shen Wanming was protecting so much that he would not reveal a single word even at the cost of his life and suffering torture.
When he arrived at the Dali Temple prison, Shen Wanming was already covered in wounds but still showed no fear and was obviously determined to die.
"The old Duke is really a tough guy. He didn't even make a sound after being tortured like this."
Ye Xuanqi put his hands behind his back and said, "I really admire you."
Shen Wanming's shoulders were obviously stiff, but his words were still firm: "Kill me, I won't say anything."
His voice was hoarse and he showed no sign of compromise.
"Killing you is certain..."
Ye Xuanqi said calmly: "But before I kill you, I must first eliminate all the people you protect and help."
As soon as Ye Xuanqi finished speaking, Song Yunxi continued in tacit understanding: "How about we start with Shen Zhikang?"
Sure enough, after hearing Shen Zhikang's name, Shen Wanming, who had been facing away from them and looking calm and ready to die, suddenly turned around and asked, "What have you done to Zhikang?"
"As for what to do with him, that depends on the attitude of the old Duke."
Ye Xuanqi certainly couldn't tell the news of Shen Zhikang's death: "The old Duke's attitude determined his life or death."
Shen Wanming trembled all over: "You can't kill Zhikang!"
Song Yunxi sneered: "That's not up to you."
Shen Wanming knew that he had no bargaining chips or position to negotiate with them now, so he could only lower his head in dejection.
After struggling for a long time, he finally asked through gritted teeth: "What do you want to know?"
Song Yunxi and Ye Xuanqi smiled at each other, then asked Shen Wanming: "Shen Zhikang is not your biological grandson, do you know this?"
Shen Wanming: “…”
Silence is the default.
Song Yunxi asked in confusion: "Since you already know that he is not your biological grandson, why are you still willing to help him at all costs?"
"What else can I do?"
Shen Wanming looked sad.
