Xing Yuhuang was stunned.
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom continued: "Your mother is the sister of the current patriarch of the Quan family."
"And my mother is also a direct bloodline of the Quan family."
"I also have the blood of the Quan family flowing through me."
He slowly looked at his three daughters: "And you are all normal."
Xing Yuhuang's eyebrows were raised, and he and Quan Hongying glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.
yes.
The wife of the ruler of the country came from the Quan family, and the wife of the former ruler of the country also came from the Quan family.
Based on this calculation, the king of the country has the blood of a powerful family.
If you marry the wife of the former ruler of the country, you are also marrying someone who is related by blood.
A normal child can still call it a coincidence.
But all three children are normal, so this is no coincidence.
After a moment of silence, the second princess suggested, "Why don't you ask the third princess to come over and ask?"
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom nodded: "Boss, go and invite the couple over."
The three major aristocratic families were too strong, which he didn't want to see.
But at the same time, he didn't want to see the three major families decline like this.
Raising a new family is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Not long after, Su Ruotang and Mo Rongyan followed Xing Yuhuang to the imperial study room.
On the way, Xing Yuhuang briefly talked to her about the relationship between the Lord of Xingming Kingdom and the Quan family.
Su Ruotang inquired in detail about the identities of the mother of the Lord of Xingming Kingdom and the mother of Xingyuhuang, and a clear understanding flashed through her eyes.
Entering the royal study, the Lord of Xingming Kingdom asked directly: "Third Imperial Concubine, you said that getting married between blood-related people will cause abnormal children."
"But I also have the blood of the Quan family. My wife is the legitimate daughter of the Quan family. My three daughters are all healthy. How do you explain this?"
Su Ruotang said calmly: "Although your mother is a member of the Quan family, she is not directly related to the Quan family, and her blood is weak."
"She is a sideline, because at that time all the marriageable men in the Quan family were men, and she was the only woman, so she was adopted under the name of the head of the Quan family and married to your father."
"So, there is basically no blood of the Quan family on her body or on your body."
Xing Yuhuang originally did not want to tell her the identity of the mother of the leader of Xingming Kingdom.
But now the situation in the Quan family has become quite serious, so she doesn't hide it anymore.
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom looked a little unhappy.
When her mother married into the royal family, it was extremely controversial.
Fortunately, she was extremely good at bewitching and her father's love for her allowed her to secure her position as the wife of the king.
No one dared to discuss her life experience anymore.
After a while, the Lord of Xingming Kingdom said in a deep voice: "I thought you were the third prince concubine of Dongqi, so I asked Huang'er to tell you this."
Su Ruotang nodded: "Don't worry, Lord."
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom nodded slightly: "How can you be sure that those children are abnormal and are caused by the marriage of blood relatives?"
Su Ruotang frowned.
This common sense that everyone knew in previous generations was extremely difficult to explain in ancient times.
After thinking for a moment, she considered her words, "I'm just guessing. I have to see the child and the child's parents before I can be sure."
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom leaned on the back of his chair and nodded to Xing Yuhuang and others, "Let's take the third prince and the third prince's concubine over to have a look."
Mo Rongyan suddenly said: "Master, can Mr. Fu and Miss Gu go together?"
The Lord of Xingming Kingdom looked at him steadily: "This matter must not be leaked to anyone."
Mo Rongyan nodded calmly: "The king can rest assured."
...
Ming Mansion.
Ever since the young lady gave birth last night, she has been enveloped in misery and misery.
The servants did not know that the child was disabled.
I can only sympathize with the young lady who finally gave birth to a child. She stayed in bed for ten months, only to give birth to a stillborn fetus.
Su Ruotang entered the room where Mrs. Ming was staying.
Turning into the inner room, one glance saw the pale young woman on the bed.
She had a delicate appearance, but her eyes were red and dull, staring blankly at the bed curtain.
Beside her sat a handsome young man, whose eyes were also red.
He held the young woman's hand and said in a choked voice, "Zhaozhao, we will have children, don't be sad."
Xu Zhao rolled his eyes blankly, his voice hoarse like iron scraping against the ground, "Why don't you let me take a look at him?"
She desperately gave birth to the child, and she clearly heard the child crying before she fell into coma.
But when she woke up, her husband and wet nurse told her that the baby was dead and had been buried.
How could she accept this?
Minghuo's eyes flashed and he whispered: "I'm afraid you will feel more uncomfortable when you see the child."
The first time he saw the child, he couldn't accept it.
He was afraid that Zhaozhao would not be able to bear the stimulation and behave radically, so he chose to send the child to a barren mountain and told her that the child was dead.
Xu Zhao's eyes were red, as if they were bloodshot.
She stared at Minghuang, her expression gradually getting excited, "That's my child! Who do you decide whether he should stay or go?"
Minghou hugged her and comforted her softly, "Zhaozhao, when you feel better, I will take you to see the child."
"You don't want your children to see your mother looking sick, right?"
When Xu Zhao heard about looking at the child, the dark redness in his eyes gradually dissipated.
She stretched out her hand, weakly grasped Minghuo's collar, and said in a hoarse voice: "The child is not dead?"
Seeing that her mood had calmed down, Minghuang breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the top of her hair, "Well, he's not dead."
It's just the same as being dead.
He couldn't say this.
When he saw Xing Yuhuang's figure from the corner of his eye, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to get up.
Xing Yuhuang raised his hand one step ahead of him and turned sideways to reveal the person behind him.
After seeing the person behind Xing Yuhuang clearly, Minghou was stunned.
Xing Yuhuang lowered her voice: "Young Master Ming, this is the third princess of Dongqi."
The third princess of Dongqi?
A light of hope suddenly appeared in Minghou's eyes.
He had long heard that the third princess of Dongqi had superb medical skills.
Maybe she can treat her own child.
Su Ruotang's eyes fell on Xu Zhao and stepped forward slowly.
Xu Zhao's eyes returned to dull indifference again.
She lay obediently in Minghou's arms, like a lifeless porcelain doll.
Minghuo lay on his side on the bed. His clothes and hair were a little messy after staying up all night, but it was not considered rude.
He said apologetically to Xing Yuhuang and Su Ruotang: "The eldest princess, the third imperial concubine, Zhao Zhao fell ill twice today. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Xing Yuhuang smiled and said: "Young Master Ming is too polite, the young lady's body is more important."
She raised her chin at Su Ruotang: "Father knew about the affairs of the three great families and specially asked the three princes and concubines to come and take a look."
When Minghuang heard this, he was stunned.
Except for a few people in power, no one knows about the stupidity or disability of the new-born children in the three major aristocratic families.
This tells outsiders...
Or is he the imperial concubine...
Faced with Minghuo's vigilance and confusion, Xing Yuhuang did not explain. She just walked to the table by the window and sat down, looking at Su Ruotang quietly.
Su Ruotang stood in front of the bed and looked at Xu Zhao's face carefully.
After a moment, she reached out, pinched Xu Zhao's wrist, and began to feel for his pulse.
Minghou's heart was in his throat and he couldn't help but ask: "The third prince's concubine, can Zhaozhao cure her?"
Su Ruotang raised her eyelashes, looked at him quietly, and asked without answering, "Do you know she is sick?"
