After listening to Song Yaojia's words, Song Qiyun's face became the same as before, livid and as ugly as possible.
Song Yaojia gently patted his shoulder and told him not to get angry. It had been so many years. Because of this bad thing about sesame seeds and rotten millet, it was really not cost-effective to get angry again. There was no need at all.
"What happened next?" Song Qiyun asked, "Was Father very angry? How did he deal with them?"
"Are you angry? That's not true." Song Yaojia recalled what his father once said and shook his head gently, "The late emperor once told his father that if he hadn't bumped into him, he wouldn't have known that there was such a person in his harem. Concubine."
"Ah?" Song Qiyun was stunned, "How long had Prince Jing's cousin been with my father at that time?"
"It's been quite a long time, more than three years, right?" Song Yaojia shrugged, "Although Prince Jing's cousin was chosen before the late emperor ascended the throne, but... well, at that time, Daxia was plagued by internal and external troubles. Seriously, not to mention these new concubines, even the ladies with whom we are very close have no time to meet each other, and we are even less familiar with the new people."
"We don't know each other at all, right?"
"Yes, I have no impression at all. My father said that the Queen Mother later told the late emperor that she was his concubine. The late emperor was very confused and said that he had never seen this concubine before. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere." Song Yaojia shook her head helplessly, "This There is nothing we can do about it. You all know what the court and the border were like in the years before and after the late emperor ascended the throne. All his energy was focused on business matters, and he could almost be said to be indifferent to the affairs of the harem."
"Yes." Song Qiyun nodded, "I remember that it was a complete mess at that time, and the courtiers were stationed in the palace almost every day, not to mention the father? Eunuch Pan and Cui Eunuch said that at that time, the father even Even taking a short nap is just wishful thinking.”
"Yes, it is not easy to get through it." Song Yaojia nodded, "So, if you want to talk about the late emperor's attitude towards Prince Jing and his cousin, according to what he said, he should feel more guilty."
"Guilty?" Jin Miaomiao thought for a moment and sighed, "I understand. The late emperor felt that he had delayed a girl's best years, didn't he? Now that she has found someone she really likes, let her go. She let them leave, right?"
"Yes, this is the final result, but the process did not go so smoothly. The late emperor's tolerance and guilt were only for Prince Jing's cousin, but for Prince Jing, they were not so gentle." Song Yaojia sighed softly. , "The Crown Prince of Jing was interrogated by my father for three days. During these three days, he was not allowed to eat, drink, or sleep. He just endured it. On the second night, the Crown Prince Jing He couldn't stand it any longer, so he revealed his true purpose of coming to Beijing."
"The real purpose?" Jin Miaomiao and Song Qiyun looked at each other, "Didn't I say before that I would inherit the throne in advance?"
"I found out this after being forced to ask. From the time he came to Beijing, he did it in the name of celebrating his accession to the throne." Song Yaojia sneered, "Although he is stupid, he is not that stupid. It is impossible for him to tell his true identity from the beginning. The purpose was exposed. When he was quarreling in various yamen, he only said that he wanted to see the late emperor, and did not mention the throne."
"What happened next? What did the late emperor do?"
"The more you want something, the more you won't be able to get it. Isn't it the best and most powerful punishment?" Song Yaojia showed a wicked smile, "The late emperor let Crown Prince Jing and his cousin leave, but he changed hands and gave Prince Jing's Mansion a decree. The Crown Prince will always be the Crown Prince, and King Jing will choose another successor to the throne."
"Does this mean that the Crown Prince Jing can never inherit the throne?"
"Yes, the late emperor told King Jing very clearly that the heir could be a member of the clan or his grandson, but he could not be his son. The prince of Jing made such a big fuss, and King Jing also Feeling embarrassed, he did not think that the late emperor was reprimanding him, but instead thought that the late emperor had helped him save face, and he was very grateful."
"Prince Jing is a sensible person, but he is not in good health. Otherwise, this prince would not be so tolerant."
"Perhaps he was stimulated and wanted to cultivate an heir that suits his own needs. King Jing's situation gradually improved after this incident. At that time, the prince already had a three-year-old son, who was said to be very smart. , because he has been taken by King Jing by his side, he naturally became the best candidate for the throne."
"So, the current King Jing is the son of Crown Prince Jing?"
"That's right." Song Yaojia nodded, "He needs to go to Beijing to express gratitude when he inherits the throne. I have seen him from a distance. He is a stable person, at least more stable than his father. He will not do such disgusting things. Come."
"It's indeed disgusting." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Although the late emperor didn't care about Prince Jing and his cousin, it's impossible for the Song family not to care. Look at the reactions of His Majesty, the Duke of Guo, and Xiao Cha just now You know how unhappy they are to have Prince Jing’s Mansion appear in their sights again.”
"Of course, no one wants their scars to be uncovered without warning." Song Jue walked quietly to Jin Miaomiao, "Although my father doesn't think this is a scandal, we juniors You won’t be so generous.”
"Oh, you scared me." Jin Miaomiao took a step back and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who were following Song Jue. "Have you all finished reading? How about it? What's in those boxes? Is it possible? Do you know what the relationship between Prince Jing’s Mansion and the Bao family is?”
"Not yet, but..." Shen Cha sighed softly, "It's just that in the letters sent by Mrs. Yan and the two maids from Prince Jing's Mansion, there were letters from the same person, one signed by a well-known People who don’t have it.”
"Aren't you famous?" Song Yaojia took several letters that Song Jue specially brought over and read them carefully, "The handwriting was written by one person, and the tone between the lines was the same, with a superior attitude, as if Mrs. Yan and the two maids were both All his subordinates must obey his orders." He raised his eyebrows at a few people, "This Mrs. Yan is quite amazing, she actually has so many secrets." He looked at the few people carefully. He frowned slightly and said, "This handwriting..."
"Do you feel like you've seen each other before?" Song Jue put his arm on Song Yaojia's shoulder, "It seems like you've seen her before somewhere, right?"
"Yeah!" Song Yaojia nodded, "But I can't remember exactly when we met." He looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "How do you two feel? Do you think you've met before too?"
Shen Cha shook his head gently, "No, I have never seen it before, but we have a guess that this mysterious and well-known person has an unusual relationship with the Tianxing Sect. Judging from the contents of his letters to Mrs. Yan and the two maids, It can be seen that Young Master Yan’s trip to Liuzhou was actually arranged long ago. We previously suspected that Young Master Yan’s debt collection was also caused by them. Even..."
"What?"
"The fact that Young Master Yan is addicted to casinos was also slowly seduced by this mysterious and well-known person."
