Song Jue only heard a few people talk about this incident in the morning the next day. After listening to Song Qiyun's story, his reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Looking at it like this, it's not like you already knew it and never told us, right?" Song Qiyun lay down in front of his imperial brother, looking at him eagerly, "This is too much, watching us guess! "
"I didn't mean it. I didn't expect you would notice it. And..." Song Jue sighed and shook his head gently, "It's hard to talk about this kind of truth."
"That's true, the people involved are all our elders." Song Qiyun nodded, "By the way, is he really similar to his grandmother?"
"It's not that much of a resemblance. There's a 30% resemblance between the corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows." Song Jue pushed Song Qiyun's head to stop him from being so close to her. "We are thinking in the wrong direction. This is not the death of my aunt." The reason, or rather, is not the main reason, it is incidental at best.”
"Oh?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow at Song Jue with a cold face, "Your Majesty's determination has nothing to do with His Highness Prince Ning's life experience?"
"Xiao Cha, don't look at me like this. If this is really the reason why my aunt died, wouldn't I tell you? Would I just watch all these years of hard work go to waste?" Song Jue pouted, He looked at Shen Cha aggrievedly, "Am I this kind of person in my heart?"
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just..."
"Hey, hey, I was just kidding." Seeing Shen Cha stand up and prepare to kneel down to plead guilty, Song Jue jumped up and rushed to her, supporting her, "I think the atmosphere is too tense. Come on, relax a little, don’t take it seriously, don’t take it to your heart.”
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty!"
"Hey,...hey! Haolin, please advise me, I'm really angry like this." Song Jue saw that Shen Cha was still speaking in an official tone, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He leaned next to Shen Haolin, "I won't do it today. Has it been like this all day?"
"Bear it, she didn't sleep all night last night, she shed tears from time to time, saying she felt sorry for Xiaotian." Shen Haolin patted Song Jue on the shoulder, "Her eyes are swollen from crying without even looking at them? No matter how hard I try to persuade her, I can't stop it. , and you were anxious with me." He spread his hands, "I felt better this morning, so I came into the palace. I originally wanted to go directly to the Queen Mother, but I was afraid that I would disturb the Queen Mother like this."
"It's all my fault. I wish I had confessed to you earlier. But..." Song Jue took the opportunity to sit next to Shen Haolin, "But didn't I just say it? I can't help it. Such a thing..." Seeing Shen Cha's gaze looking over him, he shrugged, "Even my mother doesn't know, only a few people know about Uncle Ning's life experience."
"Brother Imperial, what is going on?" Song Qiyun was anxious and urged Song Jue to speak quickly.
"This story can be roughly summarized as two lovers falling in love, fighting each other, and finally getting back together. The emperor's grandfather and his grandmother grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts. They were interested in each other and thought they could be together for the rest of their lives. But later, I don't know how my grandmother offended her. The Empress Dowager Chongyi crossed out her name when choosing a concubine for the imperial grandfather."
"I shouldn't be offended." Shen Cha held her cheek and said, "I heard my mother say that the Empress Dowager Chongyi is the kindest person. She has never been angry with anyone or blushed in her life. The old lady is considered a junior, let alone Got it."
"That's what happened." Song Jue nodded, "Although the Empress Dowager Chongyi is not the imperial grandfather's biological mother, she raised the emperor's grandfather and put him on the throne with her own hands. Cultivating kindness is better than giving birth to kindness, let alone Without Empress Dowager Chongyi and without her standing up to all opinions, the imperial grandfather would not be able to become the emperor. Therefore, no matter what Empress Dowager Chongyi does, he has no opinions and will not refute it."
"Even if..." Shen Cha sighed, "If he feels sad, he will still do what the Empress Dowager Chongyi said?"
"Yes!" Song Jue nodded, "Even if he is sad, he will do it. He said that he could not be sorry for his grandmother's affection, but he could not be sorry for the nurturing grace of Empress Dowager Chongyi."
"Grandma is also willing?"
"Look at what you said!" Song Jue smiled bitterly, "What can you do if you don't want to? And my grandmother is also very considerate. She is the kind of person who would rather wrong herself than others, not to mention she truly loves and cares for others. "So..." he sighed, "It's because of this that the emperor's grandfather will always keep her in mind."
"So that's it."
"Actually, the imperial grandfather has always respected the Empress Dowager Chongyi very much and truly regarded her as his biological mother. Every decision of the Empress Dowager Chongyi was for his good and never harmed him. Therefore, Even though he was heartbroken that he could not marry the woman he loved most, he never thought of going against the Queen Mother's wishes. However, he personally found his grandfather for his grandmother, and he was very good in all aspects, so he was relieved. Later, Chong The Empress Dowager Yi passed away, my grandfather also passed away, and these two people..." He smiled bitterly, "This is a reunion, but they didn't expect His Highness Prince Ning to appear."
"I understand why the Empress Dowager Chongyi did not choose the old lady to be the imperial concubine." Shen Cha sighed faintly, "It's not that the old lady offended her, or that she is unreasonable, she did so very rationally. "
"Xiao Cha is smart, and he can tell with just one click!" Song Jue smiled at her. Seeing that Song Qiyun was still confused, he explained, "As an emperor, you must give up your children's personal relationships for this country. Emperors can have many things. She is a beloved concubine, but she cannot tie her heart to one person. Just like the father, how much he likes his mother, he cannot show it too much, otherwise, the royal grandmother will get rid of her without the censors impeaching her. "
"So, this is..." Song Qiyun quickly glanced at Shen Cha, "Hey, Brother Emperor, it's been hard work for so many years."
"What are you talking about?" Song Jue touched a candied fruit and threw it towards Song Qiyun, "Uncle Ning Wang was indeed born in the palace. The emperor's grandfather specially arranged for his confidants to bring his grandmother into the palace, and waited until the child was born. If they don't, we will get rid of all these people. Later, on the pretext that the palace is not safe, we sent Uncle Ning to Prince Dai's Mansion."
"Uncle Dai Wang knows?" Seeing Song Jue nodding, Shen Haolin twitched his lips, but he didn't pay much attention to the love between children, "Are you sure that case has nothing to do with His Highness Prince Ning's life experience? Yes. Yes, does my mother know?"
"I know, not only my aunt knows, but my aunt also knows. But the secret that my aunt wants to cover up is far more bizarre and serious than Uncle Ning Wang's life experience." Song Jue sighed, "The scope of this secret is quite large. The big one has something to do with Xia Liaojin."
"It's all related?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, "How could..."
"More than that, at least five generations of emperors paid a heavy price for this." Song Jue stood up and patted his robe, "Haolin, send someone back to let Miao Miao enter the palace, and take her medicine box with her Let’s take a walk.”
"where to?"
"Imperial Mausoleum!"
