What Qiuqiu and Mrs. Yinhua said was really shocking.
Although they didn't say it explicitly, Duan Wenjun had already guessed the general idea.
If the prince's case twenty years ago was planned by the current emperor, this would involve a royal dispute.
Those who know the inside story may be killed.
In particular, the fourth prince was the most valued prince by the late emperor.
Moreover, I once heard the eldest princess say that there are many ministers in the court who have a close relationship with the fourth prince.
If the truth is revealed, turmoil in the court will inevitably follow.
Dashun, maybe it will fall into a crisis.
Of course, this is not only a royal dispute, but also a royal scandal.
If all this is really designed by the current emperor, and if others know about it...
Of course, even if the current emperor did it, he would definitely not let outsiders know.
Those who know will definitely be dead people.
Qiuqiu stared at Duan Wenjun with a wry smile on her face, "I know what you are thinking. In fact, I was thinking the same thing as you at the time. Even the Eighth Prince had the same doubts as you."
At this point, his face suddenly became extremely solemn. "But, I can tell you for sure that the man behind all this is not the current emperor."
As soon as these words came out, Duan Wenjun was suddenly stunned again.
He didn't understand what Qiuqiu meant.
Qiuqiu did not show off, but let out a long sigh, "What do you think of Chai Jingyun, the second young master of Prince Rui's palace?"
"Second Young Master is a good man and he has helped me a lot." Duan Wenjun frowned.
"Wenjun, if I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't be alive today." Qiuqiu looked at Duan Wenjun and shook her head, "I want to know what you really think in your heart."
"I don't understand what you mean!" Duan Wenjun showed a wry smile and pretended to be confused.
He naturally understood what Qiuqiu meant, and he also knew that Qiuqiu might have seen the gap between himself and Chai Jingyun.
Of course, the estrangement between Duan Wenjun and Chai Jingyun was not because Chai Jingyun did not help him claim credit when Emperor Shun summoned him.
But because he knew that Chai Jingyun had given Shan Fengshan to Emperor Shun for internal money. He knew that Chai Jingyun had sent people to secretly conduct a thorough investigation of Jingzhou officials on the way here. He knew that it was Chai Jingyun who sent people to kill Zhang. Execute and silence...
He already felt that the young master from Prince Rui's Mansion was really scary.
Especially when he heard that Emperor Shun was actually sterile and that the green grassland above his head had only given birth to those princes, and when he heard that Chai Jingyun had become a general second only to General Ye Ming, He knew then that he should retreat.
Stay away.
"Forget it, just say it if you don't want to!" Qiuqiu seemed to notice Duan Wenjun's perfunctory attitude, shook her head and said, "Yinhua, it seems that Wenjun still doesn't believe that child of yours!"
Duan Wenjun had a horrified expression on his face.
Qiuqiu’s words are too much information.
"Yes!" Mrs. Yinhua nodded, "After all, the kid Jingyun owes him."
After saying that, Mrs. Yinhua turned to look at Duan Wenjun, "Actually, Jingyun is my child, the child of me and the Fourth Prince!"
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Duan Wenjun to stay on the spot.
"Your father has suffered a lot these years." A kind smile appeared on Mrs. Yinhua's face.
"Back then, your mother Qiu Yun and I, as well as General Ye's daughter, and now Concubine Xian, actually all liked the fourth prince."
"However, what the Fourth Prince likes most is your mother."
"Back then, the late emperor's secret investigation into the descendants of the Wei royal family had actually been traced to me. It was your mother who made up a reason to let me escape the disaster."
"It is precisely because of this that a scandal in the capital was involved, which made the Beijing Examination a laughing stock. Officials colluded with each other, the test questions were leaked long ago, and the fourth prince was even involved..."
"Your father gave up the exam in anger in order to save me. Ostensibly to save your mother, he took her back to Wangjiang under the pretext of elopement. In fact, he wanted to help me and make the leak of the exam questions bigger and attract more attention. Draw other people’s attention.”
"While on the road, your mother was chased and seriously injured. It was your father who was still taking care of her."
"Your mother originally thought that the fourth prince sent people to hunt her down, so she was naturally heartbroken. Your father took good care of her, and the two of them fell in love with each other and got together."
"Otherwise, your mother is the first of the four most talented women in the capital, so how can she think highly of your father?"
When she said this, a faint smile appeared on Mrs. Yinhua's face, as if she thought of those happy scenes back then.
"After your mother left, the fourth prince often came to my place to drink. I can see that he misses your mother very much."
"One day, we were all drunk, and the fourth prince mistook me for your mother."
"When I woke up the next day, he told me that he would definitely be responsible for me."
"I believe in him! Even if he doesn't give me a title, I don't care. As long as I can be with him, that's enough."
"He doesn't even care about my status as a descendant of the Wei royal family. He has always protected me. Such a man is worth trusting for life. Even though I know that he has always been your mother in his heart."
"Because I know very well that an identity like his and a man like him are definitely not something I can have alone."
"However, at that time, I still resented your mother a little in my heart. After all, he was the man I loved and the woman I loved most."
"But the fourth prince just left my place and was recalled to the palace that day, and then went to Jingzhou overnight to investigate the case."
"That's when I realized that after I sent someone to deliver the news to Jiang Chaonan, he didn't take precautions, and in the end such a tragedy happened."
"However, no one expected that what happened next would happen so suddenly and so strangely."
"The fourth prince suddenly rebelled, and then set himself on fire on the Fushui River. All this happened so fast that everyone was unexpected."
"I was also very shocked and didn't even believe the news was true."
"So I set off for Jingzhou and used almost all my strength to find out the truth."
"But I didn't expect that, because of this, the late emperor's spy left in Jingzhou discovered my identity. If the master hadn't saved me and concealed it for me, I would have been dead by then. .”
"It was also at that time that I found out that I was pregnant, and the child was Jingyun."
"Later, I thought your mother was in Wangjiang and might know something about the Fourth Prince, so I went to Wangjiang to visit her."
"I just didn't expect that Qiuyun at that time was completely different after I met Qiuyun."
"She told me that when she was seriously injured and in coma, she dreamed of many strange and bizarre scenes."
"In her dream, she saw a city that looked completely different from our current city, so that's why the Duanjia Fort came into being. She built it according to the city in her dream. She never imagined that it would be so beautiful. Good results."
"Even relying on the newly built city wall, they repelled several bandits who came to attack."
"She also dreamed of many strange and weird things in her dream. When I went to see her, she told me excitedly that if those things could be realized one by one, it would bring huge changes to the world."
"I asked him about the Fourth Prince, but unexpectedly she kept silent. I could tell from her expression that she must know what happened."
"Seeing that she was speechless, I told her that it was not the fourth prince who harmed her back then. He even had a big quarrel with the late emperor because of her, and the father and son almost drew swords at each other."
"It's just that I can't tell her another truth, which is that what the fourth prince did in the capital, even what he did in Jingzhou, was actually all for me..."
"After hearing this, she became furious and kicked me out of Duanjiabao. We have never seen each other again since then."
"Within two years, I heard the sad news of her death. I thought it was false news, and I even sent someone to Wangjiang to check..."
When she said this, Mrs. Yinhua was already in tears.
She murmured to herself, "Maybe this is all my fault. If I hadn't told the fourth prince the truth and not let her know that the prince had not betrayed her, maybe she would feel better..."
Mrs. Yinghua’s voice was choked with sobs and she could no longer speak.
When he heard this, Duan Wenjun's heart kept trembling.
He has thousands of thoughts about his mother Qiuyun.
But he never expected that things would turn out like what he heard today.
He even hoped that everything Mrs. Yinhua said was not true.
However, her remarks seemed reasonable.
After a long time, he stared at Mrs. Yinhua and spoke again, "How can the son of you and the fourth prince be the second son of Prince Rui's palace?"
