Although only one person spoke, and Mr. Yan's voice was very low, the atmosphere in the room became inexplicably depressing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Kang Yan reluctantly suppressed the strange uneasiness in her heart, and held the tea cup on the table in her hand, feeling more solid in her heart.

Mr. Yan's words continued, "At that time, I was really crazy, looking all over the capital, but there was no one at all, I thought that maybe my daughter was really abducted by a liar. ”

When Mr. Yan said this, his voice was slightly choked, which showed the excitement in his heart.

Cheng Xinzhi took over the conversation, "Mr. came back from the capital and fell seriously ill, and it took nearly a year to recuperate, but I couldn't let go of this matter in my heart. ”

Kang Yan remembered that the last time Mr. Yan had his birthday, she and Qiao Danhua heard the conversation between Cheng Xinzhi and Mr. Yan at the rockery, and Cheng Xinzhi said that the old things that Mr. asked him to check many years ago had already come to fruition, and the old things he said must be this thing.

Sure enough, Cheng Xinzhi continued: "I just entered the Hanlin Academy, just a small edit, weak and weak, although it took a lot of effort, I have never seen the king of Changshan in the capital, I thought that Mr. must have encountered a liar, Miss Yan should have been deceived to the field, just when I was about to reply to Mr., by chance, I entered the palace and met the emperor." ”

Cheng Xinzhi said this. The tone of his voice suddenly rose a little hurriedly, "I was surprised to find that the emperor was exactly the same as the Changshan King I had been looking for. ”

"Ahh Rao is already mentally prepared to hear this. Kang Yeon still let out a short exclamation.

Su Chenjing clasped his hands around his chest, and his expression was nothing special, "If that person is not a liar, then he has borrowed the identity of the King of Changshan, and the only person who can borrow the identity of the prince is a person with a higher status than him, I think the King of Changshan you met in Macheng Mansion is the emperor." ”

Cheng Xinzhi nodded, looking at Su Chenjing with obvious approval. There is also some faint regret, "It is the current emperor who borrowed the identity of King Changshan." I thought at the time that since he was the current emperor, then Miss Yan must be in the harem, but unfortunately I am a foreign minister, and my official position is low. You can't go in and out of the harem, and you can't go to visit. ”

"Later, when I married my wife, I told my wife about this matter, hoping that my wife could do the things of all the ladies in the harem." Cheng Xinzhi turned his head to look at Mrs. Cheng who was sitting next to him.

He and his wife have been harmonious since they got married, his wife is dignified and upright, after a few times, he relieved himself to inform his wife of this matter, and with memory to draw a portrait of Miss Yan, so that his wife can compare.

Mrs. Cheng nodded. "Although the emperor had not been on the throne for a long time, there were many concubines in the harem, although the husband entrusted this matter to me. But I can't enter the palace at will because the grade is not enough, even if it is the New Year's Festival, I can't enter the palace to congratulate, I can only make friends with some higher-grade people to inquire about the affairs of the harem, after inquiring about it, it is not easy to find out that there is a concubine in the harem who heard that her mother's surname is Yan. ”

"It's a pity that I can't enter the palace, and I can't tell if this Concubine Zhuang is the person our master is looking for. can only secretly look for opportunities and find a way to meet Concubine Zhuang. Finally before the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourth year of Yuanchang, there was good news in the palace, the queen and Concubine Zhuang were pregnant at the same time, the emperor was overjoyed, you must know that although the emperor had been on the throne for four years, his knees had been empty, and no one in the harem concubine gave birth to the prince, and the queen and Concubine Zhuang were pregnant at the same time, and the emperor was naturally happy, so he announced that the Mid-Autumn Festival feast. ”

"The emperor also personally took the pregnant queen and Concubine Zhuang to enjoy the lanterns at the noon gate, and the lord and I went to see it, but because of the distance, I couldn't see it really, I could only see that Concubine Zhuang was somewhat similar to Miss Yan, but whether it was or not, I couldn't know."

Mrs. Cheng said this, and glanced at Mr. Yan apologetically, "Because at that time, the master and I were not sure whether Concubine Zhuang was Miss Yan or not, so I advised the master not to tell Mr. about this matter first." ”

Mr. Yan shook his head and said that he didn't care about the matter, and Cheng Xinzhi had already told him about it when he first arrived in Macheng Mansion that day.

Mrs. Cheng continued to say, "In April of the fifth year of Yuanchang, the queen gave birth to the eldest prince, the emperor Longyan Dayue, and issued a holy decree, saying that as long as Concubine Zhuang can also give birth to the prince, she will be promoted to a concubine, at that time, I and the lord thought of a lot of ways, and finally handed the news to Concubine Zhuang's hand, one night, Concubine Zhuang quietly sent someone to pick me up into the palace. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cheng's face instantly became very pale, and her body trembled a little, she tried her best to stabilize her emotions, as if she was thinking about what to say about the situation at the time, and only after a while did she speak with some difficulty, "I quietly pretended to be a palace maid and entered the palace, and I saw Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, I almost affirmed that she was the Yan girl our master was looking for at the first sight of Concubine Zhuang, but unfortunately before we could speak, Niangniang began to start, and I could only follow the palace maids to stand outside and wait." ”

"Niangniang seems to have a difficult birth, and it took a whole night to give birth to a little prince," Mrs. Cheng's mouth trembled a little, although she was the daughter of an official eunuch, her father and brother were not of high rank, she never imagined that the battle in the harem would be so cruel.

Cheng Xin stepped forward to hold her hand and gave her strength and support wordlessly.

Kang Yan didn't expect Lord Cheng and his wife to talk about the secrets of the palace, she frowned, is this what they told their grandmother yesterday? If it's just things in the palace, it will involve Su Chenjing.

Don't....... No, no, Kang Yan subconsciously denied her guess.

Mrs. Cheng closed her eyes and adjusted her emotions before continuing to speak, "Niangniang just gave birth to the little prince, and suddenly there was a fire in her bedroom, and the fire was so fierce that no one reacted at all, and Niangniang was burned alive in the dormitory. ”

"How's that kid?"

Two voices rang out in the room at the same time. It's the same thing.

Kang Yan looked up and read the confusion and uneasiness in Su Chenjing's eyes, she clenched the tea cup in her hand, but her heart trembled suddenly. One thing comes to mind.

Blaze? She remembered knocking on her grandmother's side, and it was only when she was in the palace that she was suddenly caught in a fire, so that she and her father could escape.

Is the fire that my mother encountered the same as the fire that Mrs. Cheng said?

Kang Yeon looked up at the eldest princess Fuyun, who had been silent all this time.

The eldest princess of Fuyun had a low face, her face was calm, and she couldn't see any emotion.

But when Mr. Yan heard this, he couldn't help but cry, although he had already heard it once. But in the end, it was his daughter, and although he hated her in his heart for not listening to him. But when he heard the news of his daughter's death, his heart was still like a knife.

Su Chenjing's brows were already tightly furrowed, he knew that the eldest princess Fuyun called him over tonight, it was impossible to just let himself listen to the secrets in this palace, and let himself listen to only one possibility. That is, this secret has something to do with me.

An answer had already loomed into his mind.

He subconsciously avoided the answer, unwilling to delve into it, and looked at Mrs. Cheng, waiting for her to continue.

"This kind of thing happened, Concubine Zhuang's palace was in chaos, I secretly let people bring it into the palace, this kind of thing happened, I was frightened, if people saw me a foreign woman was inexplicably in the palace. When Concubine Zhuang was burned to death, I must have only one way to die, and I was panicked. I hid in the rockery in Concubine Zhuang's yard, there is a dark hole in the rockery that is extremely hidden, maybe I shouldn't have died, and I actually hid in that dark hole by mistake. ”

"I was scared, I don't know how long I hid in the dark hole, and suddenly a group of people came in the dark hole. Two men and one woman, they described it as embarrassed. The woman was holding a baby in her hand, and I heard one of the men say that the queen will send someone to check the fire tomorrow, and if the child's bones are not found, she will definitely search the whole city, and this child should not be taken out of the city, let me find a way, and you two will take this opportunity to go. ”

Mrs. Cheng's face became more and more pale, as if she had returned to the scene many years ago, when she was so close to death, so close.

"The three of them groped in the dark hole for a while, and there was an extra tunnel in the dark hole, at this time, the three people found me, they wanted to kill me, I desperately promised that I was entrusted by Concubine Zhuang's father to see her, and they brought me out of the tunnel together."

Although Mrs. Cheng described the incident in a few words, the people present still imagined the scene at that time.

The dim cave in the ground, the shocking secret, must have been afraid of Mrs. Cheng who heard it with her own ears.

In silence, Su Chenjing opened his mouth, "Who are the three people who took the child?" ”

Mrs. Cheng raised her head to look at Su Chenjing, and showed him a slight wry smile in her teary eyes, "I was so scared that I fell ill in bed after I came back from the palace, and when I got better, I learned that the queen announced that Concubine Zhuang was in the palace on the day she gave birth, and both mother and child died." ”

"But I know that the little prince must not be dead, but I don't know who the three people who took the child away that day were, until our master was promoted to the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy, and the range of friends in our family expanded, I recognized one of them as Pingbei Hou Sujin, however, when Concubine Zhuang had an accident, he was only the prince of Pingbei Hou, and often walked in the palace, as for the other two, I don't know, over the years, I have never seen them in Beijing."

As soon as Mrs. Cheng's words fell, Su Chenjing's complexion changed greatly.

There was a sudden silence in the room, except for the heavy and light breathing of the crowd.

"Bang." A crisp thud broke the silence in the room.

The tea cup in Kang Yan's hand fell to the ground at some point and shattered into several pieces, and the tea inside spilled on the corner of Kang Yan's skirt, which instantly soaked the corner of the skirt.

Kang-yeon finally understands where the uneasiness in her heart comes from.

That's what Mr. and Mrs. Cheng said to their grandmother yesterday, right?

No wonder my grandmother asked herself whether she wanted to insist on choosing Su Chenjing?

No wonder my grandmother looked like that.

It's no wonder that the guards in this garden are so tight today.

Su Chenjing stood up suddenly, "This is impossible. ”

Although Mrs. Cheng's words were not explicitly stated, the eyes she looked at her clearly said that he was the child.

Su Chenjing felt that it was too ridiculous.

How is this possible?

Not to mention the high security in the palace. When Concubine Zhuang gave birth, didn't the emperor have any arrangements, how could he let the palace catch fire, and the exits in the palace would inevitably be strictly guarded. How could someone escape with a baby.

Mr. Yan grabbed Su Chenjing's hands excitedly, and burst into tears, "Child, what he said is true, you are really the son of Yishi, the second prince of the first emperor." ”

"What is the evidence? Even if my father took the child at the time, how can you prove that the child is me? Su Chenjing asked in a deep voice.

Master Cheng and Mr. Yan both looked at Su Chenjing with some surprise. Even the eldest princess Fuyun, who had been silent all the time, looked at Su Chenjing with a subtle change in her eyes.

After she heard Cheng Xinzhi and his wife talk about this matter yesterday, it took a long time to digest this matter. The young man in front of him, who was only ten * years old, did not panic at all when he encountered such a major event in his life experience, only a moment of surprise, but asked for evidence in an instant.

They naturally didn't know that Su Chenjing was reborn. In his previous life, he was the prince of the previous dynasty, and he had lived in the flowers for so long, and he had already cultivated the concentration that very people could endure.

Especially after he was reborn into Su Chenjing, he encountered a series of changes, for him, whether it was Ling Jing in the previous life, or Su Chenjing in this life, it was all himself, even if there was one more prince, it was not a big deal.

He just thought it was ridiculous at first. Then there was surprise, and then, of course, there was the evidence.

Cheng Xinzhi nodded, if there was no evidence. How dare he come and say such an earth-shattering event to the eldest princess of Fuyun.

"After my wife recovered from her illness, she told me about the things in the palace at that time, and I paid attention to the two men and one woman she described, and later I recognized the Pingbei Hou Shizi as one of the men at that time, so I deliberately went to make friends with the Pingbei Hou Shizi in private, and revealed the identity of my wife to him at the appropriate time."

"Pingbei Hou Shizi knows about my relationship with Mr. Yan. At first, he didn't believe me, and then he became the Marquis of Pingbei. Only then did he gradually believe me and tell me that his sister-in-law Su Chenjing was the second prince he brought out of the palace back then. ”

Cheng Xinzhi said this, seemed to hesitate, paused for a moment, and then spoke again, "I didn't believe it at first, how could he raise the second prince as his own sister-in-law, and then Pingbei Hou took me to see the doctor in disguise, and I learned that he had been seriously injured and lost his fertility, but he couldn't make this kind of thing public, let alone mention the matter of succession." ”

"For the successor of the Hou Mansion, for his mother to be at ease, he originally asked her wife to pretend to be pregnant, and when the time came to prepare for it, she was looking for a child outside, and it happened that he entered the palace on duty to save the second prince born by Concubine Zhuang, and the fire was inseparable from the queen who gave birth to the eldest prince a few months earlier, as long as there was no baby's bones in the fire, the queen would definitely search for it, and he simply took the child back to the house quietly, as the son-in-law born by his wife."

A man's infertility is undoubtedly the biggest blow to a man's self-confidence and dignity, and this kind of thing will try his best to hide it from anyone, so Cheng Xinzhi will hesitate when he talks about Su Jin's inability to have children.

"After confessing the truth to each other, I made an appointment with Pingbeihou that he would protect you in the open, and I would protect you in secret, so I have never had any dealings with the Su family in the open, if there is any other evidence, when Pingbeihou brought you back from the palace, Concubine Zhuang Niangniang personally put a dragon-shaped jade pendant in your swaddling clothes, this jade pendant should be your mother for you now, you can go back and ask him."

Cheng Xinzhi let out a long sigh, and finally finished the whole thing, and the next thing was beyond his control.

After listening to this, Su Chenjing sat on the chair without saying a word, unable to see any expression.

I already believed most of Cheng Xinzhi's words in my heart.

No wonder since he was a child, reading, martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, hunting and archery, etc., his father Su Jin had to let him learn everything, but he never forced him to be proficient.

The father was at the request of a prince in raising him.

However, in order to hide people's eyes, his father turned a blind eye to his usual squirrel.

Kang Yan looked at Su Chenjing with some concern, in fact, she had a lot of questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Cheng Xinzhi and his wife, such as the two men and one woman that night, one was the Hou Shizi of Pingbei, and who were the other men and women?

Could it be her parents?

But in front of her, she was even more worried that Su Chenjing would not be able to accept what they said. She could only suppress the doubts in her heart, walked to Su Chenjing's side, and put her hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright?"

The gentle voice brought Su Chenjing back from her contemplation, and he raised his eyes to see Kang Yan's worried face, so he gave her a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Su Chenjing let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked: "My father was suddenly beheaded by the emperor on the charge of rebellion, is it because the queen mother and the emperor found out something?" ”

With such a keen political sense, Cheng Xin's heart was shocked. Unexpectedly, after Su Chenjing heard such a major matter concerning himself as before, he would be able to wait for Su Jin's death in Pingbei immediately.

He nodded slightly. The queen of the year is now the queen mother, because there are no bones of the baby in the fire, she suspects that someone has rescued the second prince, and she has not given up looking for the child all these years. She checked the guards who were on duty in the palace or had entered the palace that night, and found an excuse to execute those who were slightly wrong. ”

"The Queen Mother's style of doing things that would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go makes Ping Beihou's heart very afraid, so I have been trembling all these years and dare not do anything, even I, I have been staying in that place in the Hanlin Academy, trying not to attract attention, and for fear that Mr. will accidentally show his feet after knowing the truth. Over the years, I have been hiding from my husband and refusing to say a word. ”

"The emperor suddenly raided the Su family on the charge of rebellion, and I guessed that most of the queen mother suspected him. I want to ask him about the whereabouts of the second prince, although I secretly contacted some people to run for the Su family, but I still ......." Cheng Xinzhi glanced at Su Chenjing with some apologetic feelings.

He and Su Jin once had an agreement that if one of them was exposed, the other party would never try to save him, but protect his name. Waiting for the day when the truth of the year can be revealed.

Su Chenjing's brows furrowed, and he suddenly remembered something. "When I left Beijing, I received a pack of silver taels and a note, which was made by Master Cheng, right?"

The note said "Go to Macheng Mansion".

Although he had already made up his mind to come to Macheng Mansion at that time, the note gave him the best reason not to explain anything else to his grandmother and uncles.

Cheng Xinzhi nodded, "Yes, I thought that the Queen Mother would check so closely, maybe your life history will not have a chance to be announced in the world in your life, it is better to let you go to Macheng Mansion, where is Mr., you don't look like the emperor, if you look carefully, you will be more like your mother, if Mr. sees you, he will definitely feel kind, I will find an opportunity to reveal your life experience to Mr., I believe that Mr. will take care of you." ”

Mr. Yan was listening and nodding constantly, from the first time he saw Su Chenjing, he felt that he was very kind, and he always couldn't help but want to get close to him.

At that time, he didn't understand why he had such a strange feeling for a young man, but now that he thinks about it, it's really blood nature.

Su Chenjing then threw out another question, "So many years have passed, why did you choose this time to find out my life experience?" ”

Yes, I haven't said it for so many years, why do you choose to say it now?

Kang Yan's heart jumped, and she subconsciously looked at the eldest princess Fuyun again.

Cheng Xinzhi sighed, "I didn't say it before because there has been no suitable opportunity, originally I only came to Macheng Mansion this time to do the marriage of the dog, and it would be good to meet you in an instant, who knew that before we left Beijing, the palace quietly set off a wave of secret visits, originally this matter since the death of the Marquis of Pingbei, the queen mother and the emperor have been put down, and then I don't know why I started to investigate again." ”

"I'm very worried in my heart, I'm afraid that one day the Queen Mother will find out about my head, so I want to find out this matter to you while I'm still alive, lest one day I suddenly ........ I'm afraid no one will know about your origins anymore. ”

Su Chenjing's face straightened, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, like an arrow ready to fire, which instantly made Cheng Xinzhi feel a kind of pressure.

"Tell me about the Queen Mother and the Emperor who have started investigating the events of the year again? What aroused their suspicions? ”

Cheng Xinzhi shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't been able to find out the reason for a long time." ”

"I know why." The eldest princess Fuyun, who had been sitting in silence at the top, suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned their heads to look at it. (To be continued)
