What Shen Jun was referring to, Gao Heng naturally knew that it was related to the prince's life experience, and before the whole thing was affirmed and clear, in this palace with ears on the wall, he must not leak the slightest rumor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So after making sure that there were no other idle people in the entire inner hall, he relieved himself and let Shen Jun come out one by one.

The prince was born in a cold winter thirty-one years ago, so Shen Jun secretly investigated the timeline of the whole year, and finally told Gao Heng roughly according to the sequence of events.

In fact, the reason why Gao Heng asked Shen Jun to do such a secret investigation was just to try not to let go of every possibility that could dissect the truth of the whole thing, and he didn't have too much hope.

After all, Empress Zhao is a smart, cunning, and very cautious woman, and she has never been an easy generalist to deal with.

If the prince's background was really greasy, she would have cut down all threats mercilessly, how could she easily let others seize the handle and leave herself with such a huge hidden danger?

But even so, Gao Heng is still unwilling to let go of any hope.

Speaking of which, although the Great Zhou of that year was not very peaceful, there was nothing earth-shattering.

What Shen Jun mentioned in his mouth was not the wars between some Great Zhou and border tribes and small border countries, the land exchange disputes between several princes and nobles, or which concubine gave birth to the prince......

Listening to this piece of things, it really can't be associated with Queen Zhao and the crown prince's life experience.

Among the more than a dozen incidents, only one of them caught Gao Heng's attention and thoughts.

Not only that, but Concubine Hui beside him also noticed the strangeness in this.

Although it is difficult to explain for a while, I always feel that I can't ignore it.

Because it was that year that Southern Chu sent troops to attack the long-standing nomads in the north in order to get the assistance of Emperor Zhou, and sent a prince to the Great Zhou as a hostage.

And this prince is the ambitious King Yuan of Chu who is now on the throne of Southern Chu.

Since Gao Heng had not yet been born at that time, even if he had heard a little about this matter before, he had no memory for a long time.

Now that he heard Shen Jun suddenly talk about it, he felt a little surprised for a while, and after thinking for a while, he turned to look at Concubine Hui with a suspicious expression. "Shen Jun is right, it is true. It's just that it's been so long since he didn't mention it today, I'm afraid I'll not even remember it. ”

Concubine Hui said thoughtfully, her eyebrows moved slightly, and suddenly, when she was locked in the palace as a female official, she didn't know what freedom was, but she was young.

"However, the king of Chu stayed in the Great Zhou for less than two years, and when the envoys of Southern Chu entered Beijing to meet your father, he went back with him. But after all, he is a proton who is equivalent to being abandoned by his family and country, under the fence, helpless, even if it is two years, but he has a very hard life. ”

Concubine Hui said with a sad expression, raised her head and glanced at Gao Heng intentionally or unintentionally, and when her eyes flowed, the sad color became even stronger.

Of course, Gao Heng knew that she was thinking of the old things she had held hostage in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Even though time has the power to heal all wounds, some wounds are too deep into the bone marrow, and even if the pain decreases year by year, it will slowly scar and harden, shedding a layer of epidermis.

But this once injured skin can no longer be restored to its original appearance.

Because of Gao Heng's feelings, Concubine Hui rarely took the initiative to mention this matter.

But every time he talks about it, he will only pity and feel sorry for the incomparably deep suffering and frustration that Gao Heng suffered at that time, and then silently turn his back and collect the tears that are about to overflow into the depths of his eyes.

But in Gao Heng's heart, Concubine Hui was alone in this cold palace like an ice cellar, facing the desolation and loneliness of being thousands of miles away from her relatives and children.

Isn't that heart-rending pain lighter than the suffering I suffered back then?

"But no matter how hard it is, it's not as good as ......"

Concubine Hui stopped abruptly at this point, and with the feint of flicking her sideburns, she covered the tears in her eyes with her wide sleeves.

When she wanted to look up at Gao Heng again, she saw that he was staring blankly, with a deep look of emotion and comfort in his eyes.

At the same time, there was a warm and gentle force on the arm.

Although both of them were silent, just a glance between mother and son was enough for Concubine Hui to pull the pain from her mind, and her heart was stable and comforted.

"The king of Chu stayed in the capital for two years......"

After a short silence, seeing that Concubine Hui had returned to her normal state, Gao Heng withdrew his gaze from her and returned to her solemn complexion

Paced two steps forward.

Then he stopped, and asked a very meaningful sentence with a heavy gaze.

"Mother, where did the King of Chu live at that time? Did he live in a post house like Ruoshuiju like King Heng today?

As soon as Gao Heng's words came out, Concubine Hui, who was smart-minded, immediately tightened her heart, and in just a moment, she realized the off-string sound in Gao Heng's words. At the same time, his cheeks tightened nervously, and an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.

"No, this inn was built after your father succeeded to the throne, and I remember that at that time, he was arranged to live in a remote and abandoned palace in the northwest corner of the palace, and his freedom was limited. I vaguely remember meeting him once, but I was only a lowly female official at that time, and the queen was a noble body in the world, so it stands to reason that I would not set foot in that barren land. ”

For the second half of the question mentioned by Gao Heng, although Concubine Hui gave a pertinent answer, she did not deny the answer that made her tremble physically and mentally.

It's just because it's too unbelievable and too serious, so I don't dare to say it in such a grand way.

If this matter is really as I guessed, what is the change of heaven is just the corner of the palace?

It's the entire imperial court, and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, just as she was pondering about this matter in her heart, Gao Heng's extremely serious, but slightly sad voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Mother, don't say the word humble anymore in the future, Erchen never thinks that you and I are humble. ”

After a short time of speaking, he retracted his expression and looked sideways slightly, and a deep undercurrent hit the depths of his eyes.

"Since the two of them are in the palace and under the same roof, no matter what the difference in status is, there must be a chance to meet, so even those things that seem impossible to us will naturally happen. ”
