Chapter 414 Thunder
"Ah Fen...... It's true, the eldest princess told me herself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yan Shuqing looked at Yan Ruojiu, who was shocked and panicked, and sighed helplessly.
"No, no, it won't be, Brother Ziran is a child of the master's family, and his father and mother are unfortunate to be born early, this is all we know, Dad, why did he just enter the palace and become the emperor's son again, Dad, this, what's going on?" Yan Ruojiu said anxiously.
"Ah Fen...... It's true, you, don't worry, listen to your father explain first. Yan Shuqing patted Yan Ruojiu and said comfortingly.
"General Yan, is this serious?" Jiang Zhengxi's shock was no less.
"The eldest princess told me herself, and ...... Dr. Cui also confirmed, even ...... Marquis Xiao also admitted it in his letter, so ...... Ziran, he is really the emperor's son. Yan Shuqing explained.
"But...... Why didn't there be any sign before? Jiang Zhengxi was surprised.
"Yes, Dad, Brother Ziran will be a descendant of the Xiao family for a while, and the emperor's son for a while, what's going on?" Yan Ruojiu also asked in a panic.
"Hey...... This is actually a long story, and if you want to explain it, you have to start with the fire in the harem more than 20 years ago. Yan Shu said quietly.
"Fire?" Yan Ruojiu didn't react, but Jiang Zhengxi, who was the royal prince and noble, seemed to have some fragments of memory.
"Yes, Jiang Sangongzi...... Have you heard of it? After all, that incident happened more than 20 years ago, that is, several years before Jiang Zhengxi was born, so Yan Shuqing's reaction to Jiang Zhengxi was still a little strange.
"Uh...... I don't know if what I remember is what General Yan wants to say, but when I was a child, I heard my aunt and concubine mention that there was a fire in the harem, which was tragic and widespread.
I heard that the woman who was the emperor's uncle's favorite at the beginning, who was pregnant with Liujia, was mysteriously buried in the fire, and there are still no bones left, and the emperor's uncle was grief-stricken and almost washed the entire harem in blood.
I have the impression that my aunt once said that her surname was Su, and as for what the quantile was, I can't remember.
Moreover, my aunt said that this matter is a secret in the palace, and it is also an eternal wound in the emperor's uncle's heart, and no one has dared to mention it over the years, can it be ...... Fei Ziran and that ...... That deceased concubine related? Jiang Zhengxi guessed while explaining.
"Hey...... It's her. Yan Shuqing sighed and nodded.
"How is that possible? Everyone knew that she and the child were buried in the fire, and the tomb was in the imperial tomb, could it be ...... Is there really any magic in the world that can't bring the dead back to life? Jiang Zhengxi exclaimed.
"Daddy...... This, really, really? Yan Ruojiu was also stunned.
"Hey...... Things are a little more complicated, speaking of the fire more than 20 years ago, too many people still remember it vividly, and the tragedy seems to be vivid.
The fire started in the dormitory of Concubine Su Shu, because it broke out at night, too many people had no time to react, and almost no one survived in the entire dormitory.
The fire burned all night, almost everything in the hall was turned to ashes, and the bones were already difficult to identify, but she still relied on a hairpin under Su Shufei to barely confirm her identity, but the child's bones were gone.
Because of the raging and tragic fire, everyone thought that the child's bones had been turned to ashes, after all, Su Shufei's remains had been found, and no one was suspicious.
And that Concubine Su Shu is indeed the favored sixth palace, and she was already pregnant with Liujia at that time, and she was about to be on the verge of being decided, which is really embarrassing and sad.
And the emperor mourned even more, and guarded the ruins for seven days, as for the bloodbath that shocked Beijing, it was just a helpless move by the emperor under his despair and sorrow...... Ay...... It's really sad to think about it......" Yan Shuqing slowly told the secret story more than 20 years ago.
"That's dead?" Yan Ruojiu and Jiang Zhengxi both stared at Yan Shuqing with nervous expressions.
"Externally, that's true, but ...... Maybe it was that Concubine Su Shu's life should not be extinguished, and at the beginning of the fire, she was rescued by the palace people.
Later, fortunately, the eldest princess arrived in time to help, but she saved her life, but ...... In the end, she was pregnant with Liujia, not long after giving birth to the child, she died because of her extreme weakness, and in the end she still went, although she ...... The way is different, but in the end, I still went to ......" Yan Shuqing mentioned this, and his tone was inevitably embarrassed.
"So that child, the child born by Concubine Su Shu's life, is Brother Ziran?" Yan Ruojiu tried to keep her sanity.
"Yes, it's Ziran, Ziran is that child." Yan Shu Qingdao.
"Wait! If Fei Ziran is really the son of the emperor's uncle, then ...... Before...... Right now...... Belch...... How did it come to this point...... My aunt she ...... Wait, wait, I can't understand, why now? Jiang Zhengxi began to be confused.
"Hey...... It's probably fate...... "Yan Shuqing was rarely emotional.
"General Yan?" Jiang Zhengxi was puzzled.
"Hey...... This is also what the eldest princess said, this is probably an arrangement in the dark where the blood of father and son is thicker than water.
At the beginning, after Concubine Su Shu gave birth to Zi Ran, she died within two days, the eldest princess originally wanted to raise Zi Ran personally, but unfortunately, her identity is special, it is difficult to do so, in order to protect Zi Ran, the eldest princess can only secretly entrust him to Xiao Hou Ye, just to avoid people's eyes, originally planned to wait for Zi Ran to grow up, and wait for the emperor's power to stabilize before thinking about it in the long run, but no one thought that Xiao Hou Ye would have an accident.
In fact, it was also because of this child that Marquis Xiao was implicated and was framed and exiled, and the eldest princess once tried her best to protect it, but Marquis Xiao felt that staying away from the capital and right and wrong might be the best protection for Ziran, so ...... willingly guarded such grievances, and took Ziran to the northwest together.
And just in case, after Marquis Xiao took Ziran to the northwest, he deliberately hid his traces, and also took the initiative to cut off contact with the eldest princess, so that even if people with intentions want to do wrong, it is difficult to find their traces.
I thought that Ziran would live incognito like this in his life and live peacefully, but no one expected that he would return to Beijing with us, let alone that he would be a high school champion and become an official in the court.
The most unexpected thing was that someone would secretly find out about his involvement with Marquis Xiao and wanted to kill him, just because of these surprises, Ziran's identity had to ...... Ay...... Isn't that fate? Yan Shuqing felt that all this was unexpectedly so coincidental, as if there was really an arrangement in the dark.
"General Yan, listening to you, won't my imperial uncle also know?" Jiang Zhengxi looked stunned.
"Hey...... If the emperor had known, where would there be these things now, in fact, since the exile of Marquis Xiao to the northwest, the eldest princess planned to keep it hidden, after all, this is the best protection for Ziran, and it is also the last promise to the late Concubine Su Shu, but it's a pity, hey, ......" Yan Shuqing frowned.
"Dad, since Brother Ziran is the emperor's son, why does the eldest prince hide it? Why didn't you just tell him at the time? That'...... Brother Ziran won't suffer so hard at all! Their father and son won't be separated for so many years, right? Yan Ruojiu was puzzled.
Jiang Zhengxi was also puzzled, but his unconditional trust in his aunt made him a little unsure how to ask.
"Hey...... That's why I said it's complicated...... In fact...... The reason why the eldest princess chose to hide it was also to save Ziran's life, after all, the situation at that time, too many people didn't want him to live......" Yan Shuqing sighed.
"What do you mean? Could it be ...... Was the fire deliberately caused? just, just want Ziran's brother's life? Yan Ruojiu thought carefully and said in fear.
"Hey...... It's a pity that the fire burned all the evidence, and there is no way to find out...... But...... Everyone knows it, otherwise the emperor would not have purged most of the harem knowing that there was no evidence......" Yan Shuqing did not deny it.
"Even so, there's no need to hide it, huh? Could it be that the emperor can't even protect his own children? Yan Ruojiu said a little hurriedly.
"Uh......" Yan Shuqing was a little embarrassed by the question: "Ah Wei...... More than 20 years ago, the emperor had only ascended the throne for less than two years, and the political situation and power were not as stable as they are now, and in this harem where people eat people without spitting out bones, it is really not so easy to protect a person...... Not to mention...... Concubine Su didn't want to embarrass the emperor, too many factors made it what it is now, but ...... Everything is to protect Ziran and protect the emperor from harm......" Yan Shuqing sighed.
"Protect the Emperor?" Jiang Zhengxi and Yan Ruojiu are confused again, the emperor is the biggest in the world, and he still needs protection? And it is protected in this way, not to mention Yan Ruojiu, even Jiang Zhengxi, who has a deep relationship with the emperor, has to be surprised. (To be continued.) )
