"Why aren't you surprised?" Song Qiyun asked in confusion as he watched his brothers and sisters enjoying their lunch calmly, "When the emperor discovered this, he was shocked for a long time!"
"Shocked? A guy like him who doesn't change his face even if the sky falls, would be shocked by such an expected result? After all, you don't understand your imperial brother too well! His reaction is I'm just lying to an innocent kid like you!" Bai Meng rolled his eyes in disgust, picked up a piece of roasted chicken leg and chewed it slowly, "The treatment His Highness Prince Ning is receiving now in the Imperial Mausoleum. , it is obvious that he still comes according to his original title, even if he does not show it too openly, he will make up for it secretly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to suffer any grievances."
"But" Song Qiyun sighed softly, "Everyone knows that Uncle Ning was deprived of his throne and even his status as a prince. If his achievements were not too great, killing him would cause dissatisfaction among the people. Otherwise, he would not even be alive, so what else?”
"You're naive, but you really don't understand anything." Shen Cha put down his chopsticks and looked at him with a smile, "Okay, don't worry about this for now. Come over and eat quickly. After a while, the food will be cold. It's time to eat. I feel uncomfortable."
"Oh!" Song Qiyun sat down next to Shen Cha, and obediently picked up the mullet egg soup that Shen Haolin had just served for him, and took two sips, "Is this just to fool those who don't know the truth? Let them Are you sure that Uncle Ning is like that?"
"A lie must be rounded off by a thousand other lies. This sentence will never go wrong wherever you put it or when you use it." Shen Cha put a piece of lamb ribs on Song Qiyun's plate and put it on his plate. "Since It was a lie to cover up the so-called shocking secret. Then, the drama must be done, and the people must think that His Highness Prince Ning is an ambitious person who covets the throne. The past left in the hearts of the people and ministers The image of a good king is all a conspiracy, all carefully planned to seize the throne. Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, he will be punished as he deserves."
"There is nothing we can do about it. At least he is in much better condition than Aunt Xue, right?" Bai Meng carried a mutton rib and took two bites. "Speaking of this so-called shocking secret, I will go back After carefully recalling it, my grandfather seemed to have revealed something inadvertently. But I was too young at that time and had no idea what they were talking about."
"Mr. Bai?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, "Can you still remember what the scene was like at that time?"
"Hmm," Bai Meng continued to take two more bites of mutton, "That was when I was very, very, very young, about two or three or three or four years old? Anyway, I wasn't enlightened yet, and I was completely ignorant at that time. , my father is still alive and has not been transferred out of Xijing. One night after returning from office, my grandfather and I entered the study. I remember what I was doing in the study with my grandfather at that time, and when I was halfway through, I fell asleep. .Actually, I was already awake when they came in. I just continued to pretend to be asleep so as not to disturb them."
"Mr. Bai and Uncle Bai didn't notice?" Shen Haolin refused to let Shen Cha eat the mutton and served her a few pieces of stewed duck meat. "They two are very alert people!"
"Even if they knew that I was pretending to sleep, they wouldn't care. After all, in their hearts, I am just a child and can't understand what they are talking about. Therefore, they will not deliberately avoid me." Bai Meng looked for a single person next to him. Merlin, who was sitting at a table for dinner, asked for a wet handkerchief, wiped the oil on his hands and face, took another lamb rib, and said as he gnawed, "I didn't take what they said seriously before, but now I want to I think it may be about His Highness Prince Ning. His Highness Prince Ning's life experience," he sighed softly, "There are big problems."
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning's life experience?" Shen Cha frowned, "This reminds me of what my mother once said."
"Mother?" Shen Haolin's hand stopped for a moment, and the cucumber on the chopsticks fell into the plate, "What did you say?"
"It seems like poor Brother Chen, I don't know when he will be burdened by his life experience." Shen Cha frowned slightly, trying desperately to recall the words of the Duke of Zhen at that time, "Later, my father said, one drink and one peck, It's all determined. This is what he deserves to suffer." She looked at Shen Haolin and said, "That's probably what it meant. Later, my mother even cried, saying why should innocent children pay for the sins caused by the elders? I don't I know if you remember it right, at that time, I was so dizzy with fever that I vaguely heard these words." He looked at Bai Meng, "Are there any similarities between the words of the boss and my uncle?"
"Basically, they are almost the same." Bai Meng nodded, "My grandfather said that the hidden dangers left by the late emperor must be repaid by future generations. This is so unfair!"
"The late emperor?" Song Qiyun also asked for a wet handkerchief to wipe the oil on his face, "The late emperor that the boss mentioned at that time should be the emperor's grandfather, right?"
"Based on time, yes!" Bai Meng saw Song Qiyun reaching for the lamb chop again, picked up the chopsticks and tapped him lightly, "Stop eating meat all the time, eat some vegetables, the fried cucumber is good, You can try it!”
"Oh!" Song Qiyun, who was knocked, obediently turned his chopsticks towards the plate of fried cucumber, "Uncle Ning Wang will be affected by his life experience, and Grandpa Huang has left a big hidden danger." He wrinkled his face, " Don’t you think this direction is a bit wrong? Theaters don’t always perform that kind of drama. What kind of emperor or prince goes on tour incognito, meets a woman from the folk, and the two have a brief relationship. The woman has a child, and the child When he grows up, he goes to Beijing to find his biological father."
"What are you thinking about!" Hearing what he said, Shen Cha couldn't laugh or cry. "From now on, if you have nothing to do, follow Brother Xiao Tian to the theater and wander around!"
"Hey, my cousin didn't take me there, it was Uncle Yan and Uncle Qin who took me to see it. I think it's pretty good." Song Qiyun made a face, "Sister Xiaocha, if you think there's something wrong, just Go tell them two!"
"When I get back, I will tell them two that I won't take you to the theater in the future. You will be led astray."
"Sister Xiaocha, I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense anymore. Don't be angry!" Song Qiyun looked at Shen Cha's face, reached out and tugged on her sleeves, and smiled at her, "I know this too. This kind of drama cannot happen to Grandpa Huang. After all, Grandpa Huang has never left Xijing in his life. How could such a thing happen? But there is no such chance encounter. So what is there about Uncle Ning’s life experience that cannot be told to anyone? If there is no problem with his life experience, why do everyone say that he will be affected by his life experience? "
"Also, the reason why he was sent to Prince Dai's Mansion was because of the unrest in the palace." Shen Haolin pointed out the key point, "According to common sense, no matter how unpeaceful the palace is, it will not implicate a small, newly born child. After all, the princes headed by the late emperor were all adults at that time and had their own mansions outside the palace. If everyone in the harem targets the princes because of the struggle for the throne, it is impossible to target a child. "
"Brother is right." Shen Cha finished the soup in the bowl and took the tea from Mei Zhu to rinse his mouth. "One more thing, my father and mother talked about how His Highness Prince Ning would be burdened by his life experience. In the next few days, I didn't see Aunt Xue, especially my mother, who always refused to take care of me and couldn't leave. We would wait until my situation improved a little before we could meet again. But at that time, although my situation was not particularly good, , but it’s still stable and won’t leave my mother with no time to meet Aunt Xue.”
"It's so strange!" Song Qiyun put his chin on the table, "Based on what we know, I have a bold guess."
"What guess?"
"After I say it, you are not allowed to hit me!" Song Qiyun looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Bai Meng, then at Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, "And you, please don't say anything outside, do you hear me?"
"Okay, I won't hit you, and I won't tell anyone else." Shen Cha patted him on the shoulder, "Just tell me!"
"Tell me," Song Qiyun rolled his eyes twice, "could Uncle Ning's biological mother be someone from my maternal grandfather's family? Or could she simply be my maternal grandmother?"
