Chunhua fell to the ground blankly. She was stunned for a long time, knowing that Cheng Ning actually knew everything.
She just doesn't understand the complexity of some of the entanglements.
"In the thirty-second year of Jinchun, the second year after the Crown Princess and Concubine Wen entered the palace, the Supreme Emperor suddenly fell ill."
"That year, he was nearly fifty years old. Although he was appointed a prince, he was honest and kind. The concubines always wanted to change him and there were constant disputes in various palaces."
"The Crown Princess fell into the eyes of the Supreme Emperor when she was serving as a servant. After that... she was seized by the Supreme Emperor."
"He didn't let the Crown Princess have the possibility of having an heir, but every time, the Crown Princess secretly vomited up all the medicine."
Hearing this, Cheng Ning clenched his palms.
The next thing can be predicted, Li Yunhua is pregnant, and she is pregnant with Wei Yanzhou.
At the same time, Concubine Wen was also pregnant, but the difference was that this was the late emperor's child.
From Concubine Wen's perspective, Chunhua's narrative is even colder than Cheng Ning thought.
"There is not much difference between the two children. The Crown Princess hugged Concubine Wen's child...that is, King Yong. The purpose was to let the Supreme Emperor let the Li family and the Crown Prince go, so that she could die with the child."
If that was all, then there was no need for her to swap the two babies.
Cheng Ning vaguely guessed what Chunhua was going to say next.
"The real child is left in Concubine Wen's hands because she is afraid that something will happen again in the future. Then she can use it a second time to save the Li family, the prince, or Concubine Wen herself, as long as the Supreme Emperor wants to save her. Reputation, he will agree to any conditions.”
Cheng Ning closed his eyes heavily.
Therefore, no matter from conception, to birth, to what he is today, Wei Yanzhou's life is just a chess piece held in someone's hand using the word "two words".
"But the Supreme Emperor didn't want the child's life. He just wanted the Crown Princess to die. He said that as long as Concubine Wen was in peace, he could allow the two children to grow up."
It's hard to say whether Wei Heyu really couldn't bear it, or whether he would get a forbidden pleasure by having one more of his own children raised by others.
But judging from what this man did, he should be the latter.
In other words, Wei Yanzhou was a chess piece to Li Yunhua, but probably not even a chess piece to Wei Heyu.
He is aloof and has control over all living beings. What does his son mean to him?
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse and bitter: "What about my father? What kind of role does he play?"
"General Cheng knows everything the Supreme Emperor has done from beginning to end. The Crown Princess once asked him for help."
The result was obvious. Her father never stopped or extended a helping hand from beginning to end.
And in the year she was born, when Li Yunhua was pregnant with Wei Yanzhou, he received 300,000 troops in the northwest.
There is joy in the east family, and there is mourning in the west family.
If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Fengxu knew everything, these two things would have been completely unrelated.
"When the Supreme Emperor was ready to forgive the two children, General Cheng repeatedly warned them not to keep them, otherwise there would be endless trouble."
No wonder since he was young, his father has always had a calm expression every time he saw Wei Yanzhou.
It was as if he inherently disliked Wei Yanzhou's temperament.
When facing Wei Yanshu, he was very polite and often praised him, making it obvious that the Cheng family was on the side of the eldest prince.
Cheng Ning guessed that if the Supreme Emperor hadn't refused at that time, and later it was difficult for the late emperor to succeed to the throne, then his father probably would not have given up the idea of killing Wei Yanzhou.
If Concubine Wen hadn't kept her mouth shut enough, there would have been no clue about this matter, and she only told the late emperor before she passed away.
The true identity of Wei Yanzhou will never be revealed in this life.
The Cheng family will not be imprisoned for treason by Wei Yanzhou.
His absurd life all started with two greedy men.
Even birth is just a part of someone else's plan.
Even if Li Yunhua never really attacked him, had she ever thought about letting Wei Yanzhou live?
Cheng Ning closed his eyes and thought about how Wei Yanzhou felt when he knew all this.
"So Concubine Wen...actually did not die of a bad disease," Cheng Ning's voice became hoarse: "I guess she committed suicide, right?"
Chunhua shook his head: "I really can't say for sure. It has been two years since Concubine Wen died and I left her. However, she has been plagued by nightmares, cannot sleep well, and has been in poor spirits."
She probably has a secret in her heart, so she can't really relax.
Perhaps only the late emperor and Wei Yanzhou knew how Concubine Wen died.
But since she had treated Wei Yanzhou coldly for so many years, she felt it was his fault for not being safe in her heart.
Thinking about it, she didn't have any good intentions when she told the late emperor.
Knowing the truth, the late emperor would only resent the Supreme Emperor more and more, but the Supreme Emperor was already dead.
Ordinary people will transfer their hatred to living people.
The late emperor... had a reputation as a virtuous man throughout his life, but when he came to hate others, he hated him so unappealingly that he actually passed the throne to the son of the person he hated the most.
Wei Yanzhou's life was full of ups and downs. He was not supposed to be born, but he was born.
He was not supposed to be alive, but he survived.
And if the late emperor had been cruel and killed him directly after learning the truth, all the things happening now would not have happened.
But he didn't.
Wei Yanzhou cleverly and logically survived until now and became the emperor, unexpectedly suitable for this throne.
Proving that everyone was wrong, he exceeded anyone's expectations.
Chunhua wiped away her tears and kowtowed on the ground: "Your Majesty, that's all I know. Concubine Wen... she should hate Your Majesty, but when people die, the living ones are important. This matter is in the palace." It's a taboo, it's useless for you to think about it too much, and it will rot in your stomach, right?"
After being together for so long, she couldn't help but know Cheng Ning's character.
She is most affectionate, whether it is for her family, General Fu, or Medical Officer Meng, you can see it.
So why not to Your Majesty?
But people who value love often suffer the most. They pay attention to everything, everyone is happy, and they pay attention to not losing anyone.
But how is it possible?
People are a process of growing and losing at the same time.
There is a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness, and the past cannot be traced back. Those people in the past are almost dead.
In order to take care of the empress, His Majesty obviously never once considered letting her know about this matter.
Isn't it the best choice to pretend to be confused and everyone will be happy?
Cheng Ning paused and looked down at Chunhua: "Aren't you curious as to why you were chosen to be admitted to Linhua Palace?"
Why was Chunhua, who came out of Concubine Wen's palace and knew the truth, placed next to her?
Is it a coincidence due to an oversight by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
However, the palace arrangements seemed simple, but there were hidden secrets.
Especially when she was brought from the prison to Linhua Palace, with Wei Yanzhou's control over her, it was even more impossible for Linhua Palace's arrangements to be hasty.
It must be Wei Yanzhou who is involved in everything and is a trusted confidant who personally arranges it...
