Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "No wonder not long before you entered the house, the Minister of Rites suddenly announced that the original wife and the eldest daughter were other people, and that the current wife, Mrs. Li, was just the stepmother. This matter was still unknown at that time. It caused quite a stir, and everyone is spreading the rumor that Mr. and Mrs. Xia were reluctant to let their legitimate daughter marry Prince An, who has such a bad reputation, so they introduced another daughter to take her place."
"So, the daughter-in-law of this wife is quite favored now? She is actually willing to give up her identity as the first wife and retreat to the position of the step-mother?"
"This is not necessarily the case. No matter how bad Prince An's reputation is, he is still the only prince in the Zhou Dynasty today. I heard that he has been guarding the border for many years and has a heavy army. With such power, Mr. How could a person like this push away such an in-law?" Xia Luotong didn't know Mr. Li, but the so-called father could still tell that he abandoned his wife and daughter for fame, wealth and status, and even allowed Mr. Li to murder his own daughter. How much fatherly heart can a person have?
She thought for a while and then said: "I heard that the emperor decided on the marriage between Shangshu Mansion and Prince An before Prince An entered the capital? Didn't he ask Prince An about his intentions?"
"I don't know if the emperor asked the prince in advance, but it is true that he granted this marriage before the prince came to the capital, and there are rumors that the prince is not satisfied with the marriage." After Zhuxuan finished speaking, she remembered that she came from home. The master is the princess, the real owner of this matter.
He glanced at her carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no reaction.
"In this case, I am afraid that this marriage has a hidden secret, and the prince's palace and the minister's palace may not be in harmony privately." Xia Luotong frowned in thought, but she didn't care about it at all, and she never took her true feelings to heart. Put it in the princess's seat.
Zhuxuan couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly said in shock: "Master, if you don't discover the poisoning today, then the poison will go wrong in the future..."
"The palace is very likely to be attacked by the Shangshu Mansion. Maybe even the emperor will blame the palace. After all, this marriage was given by the emperor himself. The Shangshu Mansion has not disclosed the poisoning to me so far, nor has it sent any antidote. So it is very doubtful what their purpose is." Xia Luotong analyzed calmly.
"People always say that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, but this Shangshu Mansion is too..."
Having been poisoned by so-called relatives for more than ten years, in the end, he was reduced to a tool for use, exerting his last effect.
Zhuxuan didn't know what to say for a moment, she just looked at her princess, her eyes full of heartache.
"It's okay. The poison can be cured, but you will have to suffer a little. Besides, I don't regard the people in Shangshu Mansion as my relatives, so I don't feel sad." Xia Luotong smiled and patted Zhuxuan's hand. The hand actually comforted the other person.
But what she didn't say was that those who made her suffer would never end well. She was not a holy mother, and anyone who attacked her must be prepared to accept her revenge!
She had heard the nanny talk about the events that happened in the courtyard of Anyuan Town, including the past events of her biological father, Master Xia, and her deceased biological mother. Feeling more and more disgusted.
She will one day settle all these grievances with them.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Detoxification is important right now. You collect all the dirty blood just now. I will use it later and prepare some things."
There is nothing more important than detoxification now. She has been poisoned for more than ten years. She is indeed deeply poisoned and her body is very weak. Any accident may kill her.
After telling Zhuxuan the items she needed in detail, she had to thoroughly analyze the specific ingredients of the poison before she could start detoxifying it.
While waiting for Zhuxuan to prepare, she touched the newly bought book and started reading it.
The main content is about the Zhou Dynasty. The current emperor and previous emperors are introduced, and almost all of them are about praising their virtues.
After several generations of emperors' governance, the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more powerful. Although there were still many minor frictions in the border areas, it did not affect the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It has been more than twenty years since the current emperor ascended the throne. The prince was also appointed early. The imperial power is stable and the whole country is prosperous.
Xia Luotong was a little slow in reading traditional Chinese characters, but she had no problem understanding it. But what puzzled her was that the previous Prince An, as the only biological brother of the current emperor, was not recorded at all in the Zhou Dynasty. It seemed to have been deliberately erased, which was obviously a very unnatural thing.
The current Queen Mother has two sons. The eldest son ascended the throne and is the current emperor. The second son is the previous Prince An and is now Wu Zechen's father.
When chatting before, Zhuxuan had mentioned a rumor she heard accidentally, saying that fifteen years ago, Prince Lao An was a famous general in the Zhou Dynasty. He was brave and good at fighting and won the hearts of the people. However, the old princess died in childbirth. Not long after that, Prince Lao An was on the sickbed due to excessive grief, and he died with the old princess soon after, leaving only the eight-year-old current Prince An Wu Zechen.
Xia Luotong remembered clearly that on the day she married into the palace, she heard the servants mentioning that Wu Zechen went to the frontier to join the army when he was eight years old. In other words, he joined the army just after his parents passed away. Leaving Beijing immediately? What can an eight-year-old child do by joining the army?
Not only that, in the past fifteen years, I heard that Wu Zechen had made great achievements in the border battles and was a great general of the Zhou Dynasty. So how could the emperor ignore his wishes and forcefully grant such a marriage that he hated so much? , is this the reaction we should have towards a hero?
Moreover, on the wedding night, when she was still in the main room, Shaoguang Pavilion, judging from Wu Zechen's reaction and questioning, he seemed to believe that he was a person with ulterior motives specially arranged by the Minister of Rites, which meant that Prince An's Mansion and the Minister of Rites The government is discordant.
After the death of Prince Lao'an, Wu Zechen left for the frontier when he was still young. When Wu Zechen became more and more famous, the emperor forcibly granted him a marriage. Wu Zechen believed that the Minister of Rites had an ulterior motive for marrying a daughter into the palace...
Questions surfaced one after another. Although she had done nothing, she was already in the whirlpool...
History is written by the victors, she knew this very well. The more this official Zhou History was so obscure, the more she became extremely curious, not to mention that she was now the nominal Princess An. For her own safety and future plans, she also had to understand some situations and be prepared, lest something really happened and she lost her life because she couldn't even figure out the situation.
