No questions, no threats, just an ordinary inquiry.
But Wang Xi was stunned for a moment.
After thinking about it, he smiled relievedly again: "The queen really knows."
Yes, Cheng Ning is always calm and composed, but there is a clear gap in his heart.
But Wang Xi didn't expect that she would ask now.
"I only confirmed it after asking Chunhua." Cheng Ning looked back slightly and turned his eyes to Chunhua.
"But the queen didn't say a word, which means that the truth she learned was not told to you by Chunhua."
Cheng Ning has always known that Wang Xi is not simple. He can stay with Wei Yanzhou for so long because of his seniority.
But it's about doing things properly.
"But I don't understand," Cheng Ning spoke to him effortlessly: "Is it possible that my father-in-law is also a member of Concubine Wen?"
"no."
Wang Xi denied it quickly.
He is old, but it doesn't show at all.
Cheng Ning looked back and nodded: "That's the Supreme Emperor's person."
This time Wang Xi looked really frightened. He didn't expect Cheng Ning to hit the mark.
"Father-in-law, don't be afraid. I didn't want to expose your father-in-law." There was a faint smile on Cheng Ning's lips.
"Empress - what do you want to know?"
Cheng Ning walked towards the city gate: "I want to know what the Supreme Emperor thinks, right... Wei Yanzhou."
If the past is revealed, it will be a festering scar.
Wang Xi's expression looked like he was thinking about it, after all, it was too long ago.
If anyone is willing to investigate, they will find that Wang Xi's record in the palace is very simple.
When he was young, he was sent to the palace as a chamberlain because of his poverty. He served a prince of Wei Heyu's generation who died young.
Since then, he has been seconded to various palaces and is an extremely unimportant person.
Shortly after Wei Yanzhou and Wei Yanshu were born, he came to Concubine Wen's palace and stayed with Wei Yanzhou for twenty-four years.
I bet no one will delve into where he came from.
But in fact, it was indeed no accident that he was sent to Wei Yanzhou.
"The Supreme Emperor was not in good health at that time and often went to the Imperial Garden to relax. My servant was working in the Imperial Garden at the time."
"The empress asked the Supreme Emperor what he was thinking, and the servant said frankly that he didn't know. But there were just a few times when he might have had no one to tell him, so he told the servant."
"Everyone makes mistakes, regardless of their status, but he didn't expect to save another life."
Cheng Ning thought that perhaps when death approaches a certain age, people will start to reflect.
But no matter what Wei Heyu did, he could not save more than twenty years of chaos.
"Later, he transferred me to Concubine Wen's Palace and threatened the lives of my family members. He said that if the Concubine, who is now His Majesty, is in danger of his life, then I will help him."
Cheng Ning didn't expect it to be like this: "Is that possible?"
Wang Xi shook his head: "No, the late Queen passed away. Although Concubine Wen did not like Your Majesty, she never wanted to kill him."
But Wang Xi didn't expect that Concubine Wen would reveal the secret to Wei Qi like that.
And Wei Qi would hate Wei Yanzhou so much.
In the end, it's all bad luck.
He had been by Wei Yanzhou's side for many years and knew what his life was like, but he was just an insignificant chamberlain and could not change anything.
This secret had been buried in his heart for more than 20 years. Today, Wang Xi felt relieved that it was finally revealed.
As for what Cheng Ning wants to do, it doesn't matter anymore.
He knelt down towards Cheng Ning: "This slave also accidentally learned that Chunhua was once a member of Concubine Wen's palace. He placed her next to Concubine Wen and never inquired about anything else."
He didn't even know if Chunhua really understood anything.
I just thought at that time that the person Concubine Wen saved probably wouldn't have evil intentions, so it would be better to keep him by Cheng Ning's side.
Cheng Ning lowered her eyes to look at him, feeling empty in her heart.
It turns out that 24 years ago, Wei Heyu left a seed for Wei Yanzhou. I wonder what his meaning was.
"Have you ever thought that if you had told Wei Yanzhou first, things would not have come to this point, and no one would have to come to this point."
Wang Xi kowtowed and lay on the ground unable to get up: "My dear, I don't know where fate will take people, and I don't know if I can avoid these sufferings if I inform Your Majesty as soon as possible, but... He categorically agreed with the first two Thirteen years of happiness have eluded me.”
People will suffer and abuse themselves.
If Wei Yanzhou had known about it earlier, then he and Wei Yanshu could not be brothers, and Wei Qi could not be father and son.
Falling out with the Cheng family early may cause another storm.
But the fledgling Wei Yanzhou might be put to death early because of this.
Cheng Ning took a step back, his eyes filled with desolation.
"What I am most ashamed of is you," Wang Xi's voice was bitter: "Obviously you did nothing wrong."
But she was the only one who suffered so much.
"It's too late." Cheng Ning shook his head: "It's too late."
Wang Xi raised his head and saw Cheng Ning's eyes were red.
Chunhua looked worriedly at the car in the distance, stretching her neck frequently.
They are all poor people.
No one in this game is pitiful.
Cheng Ning said: "You can save Chunhua's life for me. No matter what happens in the past, if she can get out of the palace, she will be released from the palace."
"Empress——"
"Just think of it as something you owe me. Tianxing wanted to surrender at first, but she was taken advantage of by me. I didn't expect him to be so cruel. But Chunhua can't do it anymore. There is no one else around me."
Chunhua treated her sincerely, and he was dragged into these things out of his own control.
"The slave is terrified. The queen has entrusted me with this, and I will do whatever it takes."
After Wang Xi finished speaking, he felt that Cheng Ning was asking for help. He couldn't help but worry: "The matter has not reached that point. Your Majesty, your Majesty is most concerned about you. When His Highness is born, everything will be fine."
It's just that neither of them can get over this hurdle, but there is nothing that time cannot heal.
Cheng Ning did not answer this and said, "Get up."
Their conversation didn't last long, and everything that needed to be said was already said.
Cheng Ning was unable to say anything else. Her strength had been exhausted when Wei Yanzhou took the knife away that day.
As the car drove closer, Cheng Ning got on and lowered the car curtain without taking another look at the prosperity of Kyoto.
In April, Xie's case was brought to a beautiful conclusion by Gongsunli.
Countless family properties were confiscated, and all private properties belonging to the Xie family were sealed.
The case shocked Wuzhou, and Wei Yanzhou's method of dealing with the family made people sigh with emotion.
At this point, Jinyang's stubborn diseases have almost been eradicated, and the aristocratic families have been wiped out.
The deposed queen was imprisoned together, but she had already gone crazy.
In the future, Jinyang’s future is bright.
The cherry blossoms are blooming.
One day Ouyang Xi came with a bouquet of pink flowers in his arms.
Linhua Palace was much deserted. Tea was never brewed on the table under the tree, and there was no plum dew to drink in Laihua Palace.
Cheng Ning is basking in the sun with Huahua.
"It's better for you to have your leisure time." Ouyang Xi handed the cherry blossoms to Chunhua and glanced at Cheng Ning's belly: "She's pregnant."
Cheng Ning asked Chunhua to watch tea. She hadn't seen anyone for a long time, but she still smiled gently at Ouyang Xi: "Why do you have time to come?"
Recently, everyone in the palace knows that Liyue Palace has been visiting frequently, and Wei Yanzhou has been visiting a lot.
Logically speaking, Ouyang Xi should not come over when he is free.
In other words, he shouldn't have come.
