This seemed to be the first time in six years that Lu Yuncheng had mentioned this matter in front of others.
Even after six years, his memory is still fresh.
His hands seemed to still have the blood of his eldest brother, and the blood left a trace of warmth that could not fade away in the heavy snow.
Lu Yuncheng subconsciously followed his gaze and saw his hands. What caught his eye was the panic and endless redness of the warrior.
That red is the blood of the soldiers...
Su Qingyu was sitting closest to Lu Yuncheng, so she was naturally the first to feel the sadness, unwillingness and anger radiating around him.
"In that battle six years ago, the eldest emperor brother led the soldiers to a complete victory."
"What did you say? A great victory?"
"Back in the court, didn't the battle report say a narrow victory?"
King An clenched his fists in shock, but King Qi beside him was much calmer than him.
Lu Yuncheng smiled sarcastically: "They can kill the eldest brother on the battlefield with just a battle report, so what can't they do?"
Recalling the evidence previously stored in his hands and the handwritten letter written by Su Yuanrong, King An suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
A sense of disrespect that frightened him.
The weirdness in the court was far more terrifying than he imagined.
"In that battle that year, under the deployment and leadership of the eldest brother, we won the victory with an absolute advantage."
"While we were celebrating, something happened to the people sent by the imperial court on the way."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuncheng's eyes became more and more gloomy.
He will never forget that day.
"The soldiers who came to ask for help said that the condolence officials sent by the imperial court were besieged by the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty and needed rescue."
"Brother Emperor originally wanted to rescue him personally. I stopped him and asked the military doctor to apply medicine to his injury, while I led the troops to rescue those 'besieged' imperial officials."
"Who would have thought that the people who want to kill us are not the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but these ambitious 'court officials'..."
"If the eldest brother hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that all of us who went to rescue us would have died at the hands of our own people."
Lu Yuncheng closed his eyes in pain: "The eldest brother died under the knife because he was trying to save us."
The soldiers who defended their country did not die on the battlefield guarding the border, but died in the hands of their own people.
This is the truth and the saddest joke.
Even now that the eldest prince was lying in a pool of blood but his words could be clearly heard, he still couldn't forget them.
He said: I have no regrets in this life, only sadness.
He said: Yun Cheng, take good care of yourself, lead the Fei Yu Army, and don't seek revenge.
His eldest brother was worried until his death that avenging him would cause internal and external troubles in Daxia, and would allow covetous people to take advantage of it...
When King An heard this, his tone was inevitably filled with anger: "So, Jiang Shangshu and Su Yuanrong, these two thieves, let people kill you?"
"The person he wanted to kill was never me, but the First Emperor Brother."
Lu Yuncheng stopped talking, but it was enough for everyone to understand what it meant.
And King An finally knew that their good father refused to agree to reverse the case, not because he was afraid that he would lose face, lose his confidant, and influence the court, but simply because of his shady selfishness!
In the flower hall, there was a deathly silence.
The three noble men sitting here now felt endless hatred for their king and father.
But only they themselves can know how much this hatred is.
The brief harmony did not make Su Qingyu naively believe that after re-investigating such a case, the three brothers could really shake hands and make peace.
The human heart is always the most unpredictable thing.
"Father, I don't like waste, but I also don't like people who are too smart."
King An said gloomily: "Do you think Brother Rui Wang saw this clearly and invited himself to the fiefdom so early?"
Neither Lu Yuncheng nor King Qi could give him an answer to this question.
"If you put it this way, my father's love for Yongjia is indeed a bit difficult to understand if you think about it carefully."
Returning to the original issue, several people simultaneously cast their eyes on Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu coughed lightly and said, "When I asked you just now, I did find out some reasons why His Majesty favors Yongjia."
Probably because they were chilled by Emperor Ming's actions, when they heard Su Qingyu say this, they didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Do you know the identity of Yongjia's biological mother?"
Yongjia’s biological mother?
Suddenly being reminded by Su Qingyu, the brothers seemed to have a vague face appearing in their minds.
King Qi leisurely said: "Yongjia's biological mother, Concubine Wen, is the adopted daughter of the governor of Jiangnan. She was quite favored by her father when she was alive. When she was in the spotlight, she was almost as good as Concubine Chun."
Being able to endure this for so many years without being noticed among many princes, King Qi's patience and insight cannot be underestimated.
Su Qingyu glanced past King Qi's eyes as if she didn't care, but she didn't stop there.
"Are you trying to say that my father loves Wujiwu?"
An Wang crossed his arms and finally became serious again.
Although he was reluctant, he still expressed his opinion as if he was resigned to his fate:
"If we talk about Aiwujiwu, then everyone knows that my father's favorite was the late Chun Guifei. If he was to be favored, it would be the seventh brother. When will it be Yongjia's turn?"
Yes, I have gained a lot of brains.
Su Qingyu seemed to be very satisfied with Wang An's understanding, and there was a slight smile between her eyebrows.
Just this little change allowed King An to grasp it quickly.
"Qingyu, you also think my analysis is right, right?"
"However, if you can mention Yongjia, does that mean you know something?"
Anyway, when it came to facing Su Qingyu, Wang An never thought about giving up.
Su Qingyu raised her hand to rest her forehead, secretly thinking that she was still careless about Prince An's shamelessness, so she could only talk about business quickly.
"Princess Yongjia is so favored by His Majesty without any bottom line, naturally not because of her biological mother, Concubine Wen, but because of her maternal grandfather."
"Grandpa?"
At this time, even King Qi was a little confused. After hissing, he slowly said:
"Master Wen, the governor of Jiangnan, passed away due to illness two years ago. The Wen family is greedy. They tried to get benefits from Concubine Wen many times but were rejected. Therefore, the relatives of the Wen family treated Concubine Wen and Yongjia In terms of it, even if it exists, it is equivalent to nothing.”
He really couldn't figure out what else in the Wen family could be worthy of Emperor Ming's trouble.
"His Royal Highness Prince Qi just said that Concubine Wen is just the adopted daughter of the Wen family."
King Qi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Su Qingyu: "You mean, Yongjia's maternal ancestor is someone else?"
"I'm afraid, it's not just that."
Among the people present, only Lu Yuncheng knew Su Qingyu best, and could also be said to know Emperor Ming best.
"Yongjia, probably when he was away from Beijing to recuperate, he found his powerful grandfather, and this grandfather must have something that the father wants."
Only this explanation can match Su Qingyu's explanation just now.
As if to confirm whether what Lu Yuncheng said was true, the other two people eagerly waited for Su Qingyu's explanation.
Fortunately, Su Qingyu was never ambiguous when it came to business matters.
"As far as I know, Princess Yongjia personally admitted in front of His Majesty that she is a descendant of the Nalan Clan, a reclusive family."
