Things were so big that day, if Taifu Rong hadn't realized that the situation was not going well, he would have immediately beat Gu Helian half to death using the family's methods and expelled her from the Rong family.
If it hadn't been for the violent Crown Princess who had suppressed the matter and had Prince Cheng reluctant to give up the Rong family's marriage contract, Princess Cheng's fate would probably have been no better than the first three people who proposed marriage to Prince Cheng.
Being unclean before marriage and living with her sworn brother, the reputation of the Rong family was ruined and Princess Cheng could not survive.
Song Tangning frowned tightly: "The person who did it was extremely vicious, and she was clearly aiming to kill people. She must have had a personal connection with Prince Cheng, so she knew so much about his affairs with the Gu family's uncle, and with her extreme and vicious mind , it’s not surprising that she wanted to expose her aunt and uncle Gu’s family on the spot and put them to death, but why did she stop later..."
Even if other people could keep her mouth shut, if she wanted to destroy Princess Cheng, if the news got out, her aunt would be doomed, and there would be nothing to do next.
Xiao Yan heard this and said, "She stopped because she knew she couldn't ruin the marriage, and there weren't many people present at the time. No matter who leaked the news, it was impossible to hide it completely."
The Rong family deliberately concealed it, the Crown Princess ordered it to be kept secret, and Prince Cheng did not investigate, so ordinary people would not mention it again. In this case, whoever said anything would have offended three parties.
No one is stupid, it is not difficult to track down.
Xiao Yan rubbed her shoulders and said, "She has an affair with Prince Cheng, and her viciousness shows that she is overbearing. If her status allows, she can have direct contact with her, but she is willing to kill people and let Prince Cheng clean up the mess for her again and again." I dare not reveal anything, it can only be that there is a huge gap between her and Prince Cheng."
"Their relationship cannot be exposed in front of others, let alone anyone know about it, but if she had tried to harm Princess Cheng again, she would most likely have been implicated."
His voice was not loud, but he analyzed the events of that year with Tang Ning bit by bit.
"Prince Cheng is not an easy person to get along with. At that time, he was very ambitious and aspired to be the crown prince. His marriage was his biggest help. The Huo family and the two families in front of him were his chosen families. That person But he has repeatedly ruined his good deeds, and even the Rong family's marriage contract that he worked so hard to get was almost ruined. There is no way he will continue to condone it."
"And based on Prince Cheng's character back then, if it was just an ordinary affair, he would have ended it long ago, unless..."
Tang Ning seemed to notice something and suddenly turned her head: "Unless the person he is having an affair with is particularly special to him, or that person is someone he can't touch."
Xiao Yan said "Yeah", and seeing that her pain was no longer that severe, he took his hand back and leaned against the car wall.
Xiao Yan said: "Prince Cheng cannot remain unmarried, and Princess Cheng's position cannot remain vacant. Your aunt and the Rong family were the best choices he could find back then."
"Others may not see the problem with Gu Helian's matter, but Prince Cheng can definitely see it. Since he knows who has tampered with her and your aunt has not been humiliated, he will naturally not give up on the Rong family because of this matter."
"Even if the Crown Princess hadn't forced her to keep silent, King Cheng would have suppressed what happened that day. Not only would he be able to win your aunt's love, but he would also make the Rong family owe him a favor. As for the person who did it, what others said about her She may not be willing to listen, but if it is Prince Cheng who speaks, whether it is threats, sweet words, or sketches of a better future, telling her that she and Princess Cheng are just having fun, she can always make that person stop."
King Cheng had been able to deceive Rong Yue for many years, so it was not impossible for him to deceive another woman. What's more, if that person was really what they suspected, he probably had more than just a "crazy for love" woman in mind.
Apart from the shady feelings between the two, it is impossible to say that there are other interests involved, or that they can only be entangled in each other because they hold each other's control in their hands and neither one can do anything about the other.
Tang Ning's face turned ugly after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
After King Cheng got married, he did not marry for many years, and there was no other woman around him except his aunt. People said that the two of them were deeply in love with each other. King Cheng did not approach women because he was infatuated with his aunt. Whenever they mentioned their relationship, they were all Extremely envious.
But if there is a madman in the middle who may kill someone at any time, or even if that person has been intervening in this affectionate relationship for many years, shrouding this so-called happiness like a shadow, then it will simply become a problem for my aunt. Big joke
I originally thought that Prince Cheng was just pretending to be deceiving Princess Cheng's feelings.
But I never expected that there would be such an embarrassing "truth" in it.
Tang Ning endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold back the curse: "He is just a bastard!"
Xiao Yan allowed her to vent for a while, and then slowly spoke again: "Of those who were present back then, the crown prince had passed away in the palace long ago, the third prince was implicated in the cruel prince and died, and the third prince and concubine also lost her hair and became a nun many years ago. He has never returned to the capital. The sixth prince is now King Huan. You should have met Princess Huan. As for the fifth prince, you may be more familiar with her."
Tang Ning's palms trembled slightly, of course she was familiar with it.
Before Emperor An ascended the throne, he had five rows in the royal family, and King Cheng had seven rows. The fifth prince at that time was now His Majesty the Emperor, and the fifth prince and concubine at that time was today's Empress Lu.
Over the years of being engaged to the Lu family, Song Tangning had been in and out of the palace countless times, and the person she had met the most was Empress Lu. That woman was very nice to her.
Unlike Mrs. Lu who was so reluctant to think that she was superior to the Lu family, Empress Lu really wanted to facilitate her marriage with the Lu family. After the Lu family's accident, she also wanted to let her enter the palace to make peace.
Thinking of that dignified and solemn woman, Tang Ning's face darkened a little: "How could..."
Let alone Song Tangning, Xiao Yan was also surprised.
He was more familiar with Queen Lu and Princess Huan than Song Tangning. They were people he had come into contact with countless times when he was young. However, neither Princess Huan nor Queen Lu could tell that they were related to Prince Cheng at all.
Prince Huan had a violent temper and was in charge of the affairs of the Zongren Temple. He had never dealt with Emperor An since he was a prince, and Emperor An had not been able to reuse her since he came to the throne. Princess Huan was quite strong and the children she raised were extremely arrogant. He doesn't seem like a person with such thoughts at all.
As for Empress Lu, she came from a noble family and valued upbringing and chastity the most. After marrying the fifth prince, she took care of her husband and raised her children. Later, the Lu family even tried their best to help the fifth prince seize power.
After the death of Prince Ru, the fifth prince came to the throne, and the Lu family's daughter also got the position of queen. She was already extremely noble and rich, the envy of women in the world. Why would she let go of her status and ignore the huge family behind her? The Lu family, living side by side with a seemingly inconspicuous King Cheng?
