Chapter 187: Intentions
Xie Mulin listened to Xiao Rui's question, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, what will Yan Wang and his wife and Aunt Li Yaozhi hide from Xiao Rui? His life experience is enough to see the light, if it weren't for all kinds of mistakes and misunderstandings here, and King Yan was troubled by the fact that he had no heir, he wouldn't have had a chance to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors! What could be a more shady secret here?
Xiao Rui thinks that Yan Wang and Li Yaozhi really regard him as Xiao Mingzhu's son, maybe they want to do a full set of dramas, right? It's not that he is really Xiao Mingzhu's son. Xiao Mingzhu betrayed her genuine fiancé Yan Wang and had an affair with the emperor, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, which is enough blood, but it can also be explained that her true love is the emperor and not King Yan, and everything is caused by the chaos of mandarin duck spectrum. But if Xiao Mingzhu has a personal affair with the emperor on the one hand, and has a son Xiao Rui with King Yan on the other hand, then the level of dog blood cannot be mentioned! It's a godsend! The emperor knows, can he still be at peace with King Yan for so many years?!
Xie Mulin thought that it was impossible for Xiao Mingzhu to maintain a relationship with the two princes at the same time, and it would be possible for them to still miss her for many years after her death, and even King Yan's wife, Princess Yan, Yue, missed her wholeheartedly. Moreover, Xiao Mingzhu was pregnant, and was frightened and gave birth prematurely because of the attack sent by the Cao family, and both mother and child died. There are too many witnesses to this matter, and it can't be fake. She must have been pregnant with the emperor's son at that time, and Xiao Rui, who was born almost at the same time, could not have been born to her.
Or is it ......
Xie Mulin suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that Xiao Rui was the child born by Xiao Mingzhu back then? It's just that Xiao Mingzhu died because of Empress Cao's jealousy, so General Xiao and Li Yaozhi decided to recognize Xiao Rui as born to the latter, in order to deceive Empress Cao and save Xiao Rui's life?
So...... Where is the child Li Yaozhi gave birth to for King Yan? Judging from Xie Mulin's impression when he met Li Yaozhi several times, and hearing Xiao Rui mention the past of his biological mother and Yan Wang, they really had a relationship when they were young, and Li Yaozhi really had true love for Yan Wang. So, there must be a child between them! If Xiao Rui was born to Xiao Mingzhu, what about this child?
King Yan always knows the truth, right? He, Princess Yan, and Li Yaozhi jointly concealed a secret from Xiao Rui, is this the case? But if this is the truth, why do they want to hide it from Xiao Rui? Suddenly changed from the son of General Xiao Mingde to someone else's illegitimate son, is there any difference between being born to King Yan or the emperor?
Xie Mulin looked at Xiao Rui and stopped talking. She always felt that this thing was strange and difficult to say. Who knows what the real truth is? Although she and Xiao Rui love each other, this kind of secret related to each other's life experience is really not easy to take the initiative to mention, after all, it is just a brain hole, and there is no basis for it...... What if I make Xiao Rui angry?
Modern people have big brains, talk nonsense, and can coax back. Xiao Rui is an ancient, what if he can't bear her big brain?
Xie Mulin's mind was in a flash, he made up his mind, and was about to open his mouth to confuse this question, when he heard Xiao Rui suddenly say: "This is all because I am in a troubled mood and thinking wildly, Second Sister Xie, you don't have to take it to heart, just when I talk nonsense." ”
He turned his head to look at Xie Mulin, obviously smiling, but his eyes were still very complicated, but compared to before, he was a little more clear: "I originally thought that this time I asked you for a spring outing, because I was riddled with trivial matters, I always couldn't enjoy it, I want to find another idle day, and ask you to go out of the city to enjoy the spring scenery again." I didn't expect my father and princess to suddenly want me to enter Beijing, and I couldn't put it off, as soon as I thought of it, I couldn't help but be irritable, and all kinds of messy thoughts were born, which really shouldn't be. Fortunately, I was only in front of Second Sister Xie, if I asked my father, princess, county lord and aunt to hear it, it would be bad! ”
Xie Mulin looked at him, and didn't think much about whether he really thought so, or if he was hiding something, he only smiled and cooperated: "I am also very reluctant to you." But it doesn't matter, when you're done with business, it's almost our wedding. At that time, even if you can't go out of the city to enjoy the spring scenery, won't there be autumn and winter scenery to enjoy? ”
Xiao Rui squinted with a smile: "My daughter-in-law is right!" As he spoke, he took her hand.
The fiancé tacitly skipped the previous topic.
Xiao Rui said: "This time I will enter Beijing, I will do my best to fulfill my father's requirements and try my best to get a prince canonized." I also have to meet with Bandung to learn more about the situation in Beijing. Although Wan Long has been sending information to Beijing here in Beiping, but it is so far away, my father and I can only know what happened in Beijing through letters. Moreover, due to the limitations of Bandung's identity, there is a lot of news in the palace, as well as what happened in the circle of princes and princes, he can only inquire about it afterwards, and he may not be able to find out the real truth. I also have to do a part in these things, and I can't count on Bandung for all of them. Even with the Third Highness, I have to meet him in person to test his true thoughts. After all, I have been his companion for many years, and I can detect some of his secret plans. ”
Xie Mulin suggested: "At the Xiao family, you can also go for a walk and visit General Xiao." Anyway, he raised you for so many years. You just think of him as an adoptive father and a nominal uncle, and follow the church. But if you can find out a little about the plans of the Three Princes through Mrs. Xiao, Young Master Xiao and Miss Xiao Lin, wouldn't it be easier than you to go directly to meet the Three Princes? "Anyway, everyone in the Xiao family, except for General Xiao Mingde, is basically a little silly and sweet, and they are easy to fool. Now Xiao Rui has no conflict of interest with them, and it is much more convenient to talk. With Xiao Rui's eloquence and ability, it should not be difficult to coax talents.
Xiao Rui thought thoughtfully: "You are right. Xiao Cong is down, maybe he has already left Beijing to take up his post, but Xiao Lin is not a smart person, coaxing, it should not be difficult to coax her to speak. Even if the Third Highness told her most of the lies, it does not mean that the lies are useless. Now that the Xiao family has lost its military power, if His Royal Highness is indifferent to Xiao Lin because of this...... What does it matter if I sow discord by the way? ”
He sneered: "His Royal Highness knew that the emperor was not willing to let him marry the daughter of the Xiao family, but he had to seduce Xiao Lin and do ugly things, which made Xiao Lin's reputation ruined, so he could only marry him as a concubine." The cousin's cousin, Xiao's century-old reputation, made him completely corrupted! He only needs to accept Xiao Lin, and this matter is considered in the past? It's too cheap for him! Since he can do such a brazen thing, don't expect to be happy in the future, and his wife and concubine will be beautiful! ”
The Yanwang Mansion is far away in Beiping, and he can't control the affairs of the royal family in Beijing, so that's it. Since he is going to enter Beijing, he is going to contact the queen mother, the emperor and other elders, how can he do nothing?! Yan Wangfu has already stood in line, and it's time to perform. Otherwise, Concubine Xiao and the third prince may still think that their family is a paper tiger, and they can be at the mercy of their mother and son at will!
