The group of women were dumbfounded when they heard that. What did he mean by sterilized? Was it what they thought it meant?
When Consort Hui heard this, she felt her head buzz and could not hear anything else.
“All, all the womenfolk in the residence of King Hui have been sterilized.” After Imperial Physician Chen stuttered, he didn’t dare say another word.
This matter was so severe. It was so severe that his head might fall. It was getting scary.
After the Empress confirmed she had not misheard, she felt her vision darken and almost fainted. Fortunately, Nanny Yu quickly supported her.
After a while, she returned to her senses and hurriedly said to Nanny Yu, “Inform all the guards to surround the entire place as soon as possible. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out.
“Also, inform the butler to bring over the roster of all the people in the residence.”
“Yes, please rest.” After Nanny Yu finished speaking, she called a servant girl who was still in a daze beside Consort Hui over and told her to inform the butler of their orders.
Meanwhile, she found the captain of the guards and gave him her orders.
For the entire day, the whole residence was in chaos.
However, under the Empress’ ruthless methods, she finally found the mastermind through the residence doctor—King Kang.
However, how could King Kang admit to such an incriminating thing?
The Empress couldn’t beat him to force him to confess, so she dragged him back to the palace and told the Emperor about it.
Although the Emperor was already annoyed with King Hui, he was still his son. Cutting off his descendants was infuriating to hear.
It was no wonder King Hui had no descendants, even after so many years.
At this thought, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn’t dare to think more.
He looked at King Kang and asked, “Tell me. Did you do this?”
From the Empress’s expression of anger and despair, he already knew this was most likely true.
However, he still had a glimmer of hope. He did not want his sons to act so inhumanly as to kill each other for the throne.
“Imperial Father, I’ve been wronged. You know very well that the Empress has always been hostile toward my mother and me.” King Kang replied aggrievedly.
No matter what, he would not admit it. Otherwise, his father would definitely give up on him.
“Do you speak the truth, my son?” The Emperor stood up and asked again.
“Yes.” King Kang raised his head and said it firmly.
“How dare you not admit it? You’re not a man!” The Empress yelled angrily.
“Imperial Mother, if you want to convict me no matter what, you have to produce some evidence to convince us. Don’t you think it’s too far-fetched to condemn me with just a few words from a doctor?
“Most importantly, this crime is so great that I cannot bear taking the blame.”
“Indeed. If you don’t have the evidence, don’t slander my son. Everyone knows what kind of life we’re living. What if someone else framed us?” Consort Shu walked in and said.
Afterwards, she bowed to the Emperor. “Greetings, Emperor. Long live the Emperor.”
The Emperor nodded, then waved his hand impatiently to ask her to stand to the side.
The Emperor was troubled. He looked at the Empress and said, “I’ll give you three days to find evidence. Consort Shu and her son will be placed under house arrest at Weiyang Palace.
“If you find the evidence, then it’s settled. If you can’t find it, then stop this infighting. Understand?”
The Empress also knew that she was being impatient, so she could only nod and say, “Alright.”
At the same time, Consort Shu hurriedly shouted, “Emperor, no! What if she fabricated evidence to frame my son?”
“Do you think I’m a fatuous ruler?” The Emperor slammed the dragon table and said unhappily.
After that, he called Xiao Heng over and asked him to follow the Empress for her investigation personally..
