"Xiao Zong's matter is already eyebrows." Xiao Yan said.

"That's good. Your Majesty. Chen Qingzhi said.

"This matter is a trick of the harem. I won't fall for it. Xiao Yan said.

Ding Lingguang walked into the palace.

She found Ruan Lingying and an old woman.

"Who is this?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Your Majesty, this person is the original Xiao Baojuan's grandmother. She is an old man in the Qi Palace. Familiarize yourself with the things of the harem. Ruan Lingying said.

Xiao Yan thought to herself: Why do I think I have seen her before?

Could it be that she is really Xiao Baojuan's grandmother?

"The women of the people see His Majesty the Emperor." The old woman knelt down and said.

"You palace maids who have left the palace, are you living well?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Very bad. The settling-in allowance in the palace is not enough. I had to set up a stall. The old woman said.

"Really? I've given you a lot of money. At least twice as much as your palace money. How can you not have enough? Xiao Yan was puzzled.

"Your Majesty. Now the price of rice in Liang has skyrocketed. Although there are not many people in the palace. However, there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Everything outside the palace needs to be earned by yourself. So, we have a hard time. The old woman said.

"Then there is no one else in your hometown?" Xiao Yan asked.

"My daughter has passed away a long time ago. My husband had already died in the battle against Wei. So, I'm unrelated. The old woman said.

"That's right. I just want to know if Wu Shuyuan was pregnant when she was serving the Marquis of Dongdu? Xiao Yan asked.

"Nope. Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, was not very fond of her. Xiao Baojuan has always been very fond of Wu Shuyuan. The old woman said.

"Why are you like that? Yesterday you still said that Wu Shuyuan was pregnant. Are you fooling me? Ruan Lingying scolded.

Xiao Yan scolded: "Don't confuse the public. That's what she said. And I believed. Moreover, I have already checked the "History of Tong". There is no record that Xiao Baojuan survived Wu Shuyuan. Therefore, Xiao Zong must be my son. ”

"How is that possible? Don't the concubines know? When Xiao Baojuan was rolling, Wu Shuyuan was the most favored. How could it be that there was no record? There must be something wrong with "History of Tong". Your Majesty. Ruan Lingying shouted.

Xiao Yan asked, "If that's the case, why didn't Xiao Baojuan reward Wu Shuyuan with anything?" I consulted the archives of the Qi Kingdom. Xiao Baojuan did not reward Wu Shuyuan with any property. If Wu Shuyuan is really favored by Xiao Baojuan. How can there be no reward?

Ruan Lingying scolded: "It must be Wu Shuyuan who deleted the palace records." Otherwise, how is it possible? ”

Xiao Yan scolded: "What you said is reasonable. But there is no basis. You can say anything. Nguyen Ling wins. I think you did it on purpose. ”

Ruan Lingying thought to himself: Does Your Majesty intend to shield Wu Shuyuan?

Ruan Lingying then left angrily.

She thought to herself: Wu Shuyuan is fine. His Majesty clearly intended to cover up. I can't help it.

So, Wu Shuyuan was summoned.

She said to Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zong is indeed your son. The concubine swore to heaven that if the concubine lied, she would be willing to be devoured by disease. ”

Xiao Yan thought to himself: Why are you doing this? Do you really think I don't know? Xiao Zong must be Xiao Baojuan's son. Why do you swear?

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I believe in my concubine. A record of the history of the Tong of the Qi Kingdom. I've seen it. Xiao Baojuan after September, did not come to you. Therefore, Xiao Zong must be my son. ”

Wu Shuyuan thought to herself: Could it be that the record of Tongshi is wrong?

The next day, Wu Shuyuan asked yesterday's old woman: "You are the old lady who served Xiao Baojuan back then." You should know the truth. Why are you helping me? ”

"Because I am Pan Yuer's mother. Xiao Baojuan's nurse. Therefore, I will not kill the old master. Though your son is not born of my daughter. However, it is also the blood of the Qi country. The slave maid hopes to assist Niangniang and help His Royal Highness win the crown prince. The old woman said.

"Nurse, I don't understand. Why is there no record of "History of Tong". Impossible things. Wu Shuyuan asked.

"Mother, this is Your Majesty's intention. Your Majesty was afraid that you would be murdered, so he did not let the eunuchs record it. If it was recorded by the eunuchs. I'm afraid you've been put to death by Your Majesty. Mama Pan said.

"What I am most puzzling about is that Your Majesty really doesn't know that Xiao Zong is not his son?" Wu Shuyuan asked.

"Your Majesty surely knows. However, His Majesty is a benevolent monarch. He didn't want the innocent Xiao Zong to be killed, so he wouldn't do that. Mama Pan said.

"I see. However, it is also impossible for Your Majesty to reuse my son. It is even more impossible to make him the crown prince. Wu Shuyuan said.

". It's man-made. His Majesty may also believe that His Royal Highness Xiao Zong is his son. As long as we can knock on the side. The old lady said.

Wu Shuyuan said: "I'm afraid there is nothing." His Majesty is suspicious. I'm afraid it won't be abolished. ”

"Ding Lingguang can't do it. Her son Xiao Tong may not be stronger than His Royal Highness Xiao Zong. Therefore, Niangniang can still defeat Ding Lingguang. The old lady said.

"I hope so." Wu Shuyuan said.

"Really? Not necessarily. Ding Lingguang is the old man of His Majesty's Hidden Mansion. She can make His Majesty happy. I don't have that charm. Wu Shuyuan was ashamed of herself.

"Really? Empress. You are also an old acquaintance of Your Majesty. Back then, it was also His Majesty who dedicated you to Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu. The old lady said.

She thought to herself: I must let the Liang Kingdom be destroyed. Liang Guo's harem is just messed up. Our Qi country will inevitably be revived.

Wu Shuyuan thought to herself: yes. Back then, Xiao Yan was reluctant to give me to Xiao Baojuan. He still has affection for me.

If it were other emperors, they would face so many gossip. I'm afraid he'd have killed me long ago. In order to prevent the future.

Shouldn't I do this to Your Majesty?

How do I think that His Majesty is sincere to me?

"Niangniang, the slave will let your son be the prince." The old lady said.

Xiao Zong's matter was also spread to the Wei State.

The general Xiao Baoyin also heard about it.

"Unexpectedly, my nephew Xiao Zong actually survived. In order to keep Xiao Baojuan's bloodline, Wu Shuyuan did not hesitate to endure humiliation and commit herself to the thief. Such a woman, amazing. Xiao Baoyin smiled.

"Husband, I didn't expect it either. Wu Shuyuan would actually take refuge in Xiao Yan for the sake of her son. Is she here for glory and riches? Princess Nanyang asked.

"It's not. If it is for glory and wealth. She doesn't need to be. Xiao Yan was also kind to the concubines of Qi Kingdom. Basically, they were also let out of the palace. Many concubines can even be remarried. However, Xiao Yan was very cruel to the clan of the Qi Kingdom. Xiao Baoyin analyzed.

Strategist Li Daoyuan said, "Your Highness. I thought that now I could attack the Liang Kingdom. The banner is to avenge Xiao Baojuan. ”

That's not going to happen. Mama Pan said.
