It was a most sloppy bath.
Aunt Cai was surprised. She didn't know what had happened. It usually took at least half an hour for the queen to take a bath, but today it ended without even having time for a cup of tea?
The queen, served by the palace maid, put on her inner coat and a thin and loose robe, and hurried out.
Chu Yunfei sat on the chair, her face calm again, but her red and swollen eyes could still tell that she had lost control of her emotions just now.
"Ah Cai, take them out." The queen ordered, "You stay outside the door and don't allow anyone to come near."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei stood up.
"Come with me." The queen turned around the screen, entered the inner hall, and sat down in front of the phoenix couch in the inner hall. "You can talk now."
Chu Yunfei looked at her slightly anxious expression, pursed her lips and asked, "My daughter-in-law has transgressed. Does your mother know who else has the same mark on her body?"
The queen was silent for a moment, with a sad look on her face: "The child I lost back then had a red mole on her buttocks."
"Who else knows about this?"
The queen frowned: "The emperor knows. When the child had an accident, the emperor saw it with his own eyes, but..."
"Do all those stable ladies know?"
The queen was slightly startled and nodded slowly: "Everyone in the stable family should have seen it."
"Mother, do you know that the Wen women who delivered your babies are all dead?" Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, "Not long after your child had an accident, they were silenced."
"Quiet?" The queen's expression changed, "You mean... what happened to my child back then was a man-made conspiracy?"
"Mother." Chu Yunfei sat down next to her, her voice was deep and calm, "Mrs. He died due to the cause, and there is not a single person left alive.”
There was shock and pain in the Queen's eyes: "Since the silence needs to be silenced, then it must be involved in a conspiracy?"
"Yes." Chu Yunfei nodded, "Mrs. Xie suspects..."
"What do you suspect?"
"She suspects that Rong Cang is your biological son."
The Queen was startled, and her expression turned pale in shock: "But...then what? Why is she so suspicious? Yun Fei, this...this is simply impossible. I saw the child disappear with my own eyes at that time..."
Chu Yunfei slowly shook his head: "Mrs. Xie asked me to go back and see if there was a red mole on Rong Cang's buttocks. She said it was a mark of the Xie family. I took a look while Rong Cang was bathing. There was a red mole on Rong Cang's buttocks. There is indeed a red mole exactly like yours.”
The queen was shocked, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Chu Yunfei stood up and knelt down: "My daughter-in-law said tonight that she would wait for the queen to take a bath, but in fact she had other thoughts. It just happened for a reason. I hope my mother will forgive her."
"You...get up." The queen quickly helped her up, "Speak slowly, what else did Mrs. Xie say to you?"
“Mrs. The two masters have similar facial features, but one is a military commander, cold and fierce, while the other is gentle and elegant..."
The queen was stunned in her chair, unable to say a word. From time to time, a glimmer of hope and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.
"Any more?"
Chu Yunfei lowered his eyes: "Actually, when my daughter-in-law saw her mother for the first time, she felt that the outline of her face and eyes felt familiar, but she couldn't tell where she had seen her before. Later, after being reminded by Mrs. Xie, she realized that it was because of Rong Cang Her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of my mother."
The queen took a deep breath: "Didn't you ask Mrs. Xie how she knew that all the Xie family members had this mark?"
"I didn't ask." Chu Yunfei slowly shook his head, "She only said that Ruo Rongcang really had this red mole on her body and asked me to tell her the truth. But I always felt that this matter was a bit strange, so I couldn't bear to say anything."
The queen was in a state of confusion, a strong surprise mixed with the uneasiness of fear of failure. Sometimes she felt that this was impossible and someone was deliberately trying to trick her. Sometimes she felt that Gu Guifei's attitude towards Rong Cang was really unusual.
If Rong Cang was not her son, it would be more logical.
The queen calmed down and stared at Chu Yunfei for a moment: "What do you think is strange?"
"With so many Xie family members, why didn't anyone else notice the possible mother-child relationship between Rong Cang and his mother? Instead, Mrs. Xie, the married person, was concerned about this issue?"
The queen nodded: "You are right to suspect. In any case, blood relatives are more concerned about their own family affairs than a daughter-in-law, especially such secrets related to life experience."
"How did Mrs. Xie know about the red moles on the Xie family?" Chu Yunfei was obviously confused. "Although Miss Xie may also have red moles on her body, my daughter-in-law still has doubts, and the death of the second master of the Xie family, Why do the eldest master and uncle Xiao Guo act like nothing happened, while Mrs. Xie keeps searching for the truth?"
The queen thought for a while and nodded: "Is there more?"
"If Rong Cang is really the mother's biological son, then there must have been many people involved. Those Wen Po who was silenced may have been bribed." A look of surprise appeared on Chu Yunfei's face, "In this way, the mastermind behind the scenes Just how terrifying is his ability to be able to arrange things in the palace so seamlessly?"
A group of stable women could quietly create such a shocking conspiracy under the eyes of the king and queen of a country. Thinking about it, it seems that this matter is not that simple.
The queen held the armrest tightly, feeling confused.
"When I was young, I was lively and cheerful, and I had a good relationship with the emperor." Her tone was a little unsteady, and her eyes were slightly red. "The Queen Mother said that the head of a palace should be upright, reserved, and dignified, but how can I listen to it? Evening Attendant I always like to play with the emperor for a while when I go to bed, and I only found out about the red mole behind my back after the emperor told me about it."
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment: "The queen is from the Xie family. Even if a woman's body cannot be easily seen by others, someone should know when she was born..."
"Yes." The queen closed her eyes softly, "But my father and mother have passed away. Even if they mentioned it to the rest of the Xie family back then, after so many years, I have not only become an adult, but I am also the mother of a country... Without special reasons, who dares to discuss the body of the Mother of the Nation?"
Mrs. Xie was her elder sister-in-law. Not long after she married into the Xie family, the queen entered the palace.
The eldest brother of the Xie family has a stable temperament and would never take the initiative to mention to her that his sister has a red mole, and it is such a secretive location.
Unless there is a reason that has to be mentioned.
If Mrs. Xie had doubts in her heart, why had she never mentioned it in front of her for so many years, but instead mentioned it to Chu Yunfei? She wasn't worried that Chu Yunfei was young and impulsive and accidentally leaked the matter, but instead alerted the enemy?
If Rong Cang was really her son, why was he stillborn? How did he become the son of Concubine Gu, under the eyes of the emperor and empress?
Judging from Concubine Gu's attitude towards Rong Cang over the years, it is obvious that she knew that Rong Cang was not her son, so besides her, who else was involved in this matter?
Is the emperor one of the insiders?
The queen felt a chill in her heart when she thought of the emperor mentioning the adoption. She didn't dare to think about it. If the emperor also knew about this, how would she face him in the future?
Suppressing the ups and downs of emotions in her heart, the queen looked at Chu Yunfei quietly: "So what do you think about this matter?"
