Chapter 140: The Mystery of Origin

The rain hits the plantains, the night is low, what a leisurely and comfortable scene, if it is not for the fact that everyone is nervous and anxious now, they can't sleep peacefully, if they can sleep peacefully, I don't know how comfortable it will be.

Bu Tong approached Mrs. Qi's courtyard, and there was no half of the silence of the night, but it was as busy as Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I've seen the county lord's mother," the palace maid beside Concubine Qi hurriedly stepped forward to greet Bu Tong when she saw her.

Bu Tong glanced at her with some puzzlement,

"Auntie is inside, why didn't you come close to serve?"

The palace maid didn't have time to change her palace clothes, and saluted dignifiedly, "If you go back to the county lord, the lady is talking to the lady in the house, there are not too many people around, and the slave has already placed the medical officer to prescribe medicine and boil in the side room, if the county lord is unwell, he will order the slave to summon." ”

Bu Tong nodded and went into the door, sure enough, there were only two aunts and Mrs. Qi in the house, and Chun Tao and Chang Mama were waiting, and Jing Zhao replaced Chang Mama to make tea.

Seeing that the appearance of several people present was quite serious, Butong came forward to salute,

"I've seen two aunts and mothers."

Aunt Qi hurriedly greeted Bu Tong, "It's all about your own family's rules, you just learned some stinky problems from your father, but you have injuries on your body, so don't come and sit down quickly, wait and let the medical officer make soup for you." ”

Qi Guifei nodded again and again, "What the eldest sister said is exact, come and sit." ”

Bu Tong looked at Mrs. Qi's distressed appearance, and walked over with a smile and sat down next to Mrs. Qi.

"Don't worry about the two aunts, it's just some superficial skin injuries, and they won't get in the way."

Mrs. Qi held Butong's little hand, her brows furrowed into pimples, "Why is it still so cold when you wear a cloak, Jingzhao, go get a blanket." ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"It came in the rain, it was a little cold, and it was relieved in less than half a cup of tea, and my mother was relieved."

Mama Chang raised her eyes and looked at Butong twice, then walked out and knelt down,

"The county lord's mother, the queen's mother instructed the old slave to help the county lord with all her might, and she didn't dare to refuse, although the county lord commanded."

Mrs. Qi protected Bu Tong, her face became solemn, "Mama, don't say such a thing, my Tong'er is just a little daughter, where can I tell the queen's close grandmother to marry?" ”

Qi Guifei sighed softly, "Third sister, the children are older......"

Bu Tong held the bully's hand with his backhand,

"Mother can rest assured."

Mrs. Qi knew what Bu Tong had done in the past year, and she knew that she couldn't stop anything, so she had to keep quiet.

"Elders don't have to be so nervous, Tong'er is just a little curious about some things about the Third Highness, and if there is nothing to do today, I will invite you to ask the elders about the things of more than 20 years ago."

Qi Guifei tilted her head, "Third prince? But what about his mother, Concubine Liu? What is the doubt about this matter, is it not that the Liu family is highly meritorious and intends to subvert, which is the disaster of annihilation, His Majesty thought that the Liu family raised the prince, and only grounded her in the palace, and even her position was not reduced by half a point, but later the Liu family was always unhappy that the family was destroyed, depressed and unhappy, and died early. ”

"Dead?" Butong raised his eyebrows,

"Didn't they all say that the Liu family was rewarded with poisonous wine by His Majesty?"

I knew that most of the rumors in the market were not credible, but they were not so far off.

Aunt Qi shook her head,

"What's the matter, at that time, the unlucky one in my family was still there, and he was closer to the palace, and the Liu family was seriously ill in the last two years, and he couldn't get out of bed at all, what did Your Majesty do when he rewarded the poisonous wine, and he just cut off the decoction."

Bu Tong felt that this matter seemed to be covered with a deeper fog,

"In this way, the Liu family is really favored by His Majesty, but it is just a thin life."

With a roll of his eyes, Bu Tong looked at the kneeling person on the ground,

"Mama Chang get up quickly, it's very humid in the rain, I'm afraid my knees will hurt, I don't know what else does Mama know about this?"

Chun Tao hurriedly stepped forward to help Chang Mama up, but Chang Mama spoke hatefully,

"That's a goblin, who bewitched His Majesty to snub the Middle Palace, how can the daughter of a traitor raise the prince in the position of a noble concubine? What's more, the identity of the prince was already suspicious, and His Majesty was tricked by her, so he ignored the royal bloodline inheritance and left the slut in the palace. ”

Concubine Qi was quite surprised when she heard this, "I have always thought that Mama is an old man in the palace, and she is the most stable and understands the rules with the queen, why is it ...... today?"

Aunt Qi stopped her,

"Second sister doesn't want to mention those rules now, listen to Mama's meaning, how can you mention the royal bloodline, is it possible that the identity of these three princes is suspicious?"

Bu Tong's most reluctant thing to verify was finally mentioned, and he panicked for no reason, Chang Mama lowered her head, as if she gritted her teeth, and then clenched her fists and spoke,

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the old slave remembers clearly, that the Liu family entered the palace in September of the third year of Chengde, and gave birth in March of the fourth year of Chengde, I am afraid that it is in this belly, and I don't know where it comes from!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised, even if the Liu family was favored, and she became pregnant immediately after entering the palace, it was only seven months, and it was not a full-term phase at all, unless......

Bu Tong suddenly raised his head,

"What accident did Liu Shi encounter before he was born prematurely?"

After all, for a person who works in the emergency department of a hospital in modern society, unplanned premature birth is not a big deal, and a seven-month-old child is enough to survive.

Mama Chang pondered for a moment and then spoke,

"How is this possible? Liu was the most favored woman in the harem back then, and since she was pregnant, she was even more valuable, even when she went to the garden, she was followed by twenty or thirty palace people, not to mention any accidents, even if she coughed, I was afraid that the medical officers in the palace would have to fall to the ground, that is, once she got up early and broke the water, it was clearly a full-term birth. ”

Several noble ladies looked at each other, but they didn't expect to suddenly learn such a shocking news, Mama Chang looked at Butong,

"The Liu family was reluctant when they entered the palace, it is said that the Liu family had already set her a childhood sweetheart's marriage, and the life history of the third highness became a mystery, even if the Liu family was born, it was still not favored by His Majesty, so he was sent to garrison the border, and he did not return for ten years, but now he has returned to Kyoto City, and he still wants to disturb the situation, how is this possible?"

Bu Tong smiled,

"In the heart of the queen mother, the most orthodox and upright prince is naturally only one of the four highnesses."

Mama Chang was stunned for a moment, shut up and stopped talking, Bu Tong took the tea handed over by Jing Zhao,

"I just feel very uncomfortable, I don't know how the medicine of the doctors in the wing room is boiling, and I have to bother my grandmother to take a look."

Mama Chang naturally knew that she was not suitable to stay any longer, so she asked for a salute and withdrew.

Bu Tong turned his head to look at Qi Guifei,

"Second aunt, have you heard of these things that Chang Mama said?"

Qi Guifei looked incredulous and almost couldn't hold back, she only shook her head, "I've never heard of it, I only know that the Liu family is indeed not affectionate to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty's prince is the most strict bloodline, if this kid is ...... Your Majesty will definitely not let His Royal Highness grow up safely, after all, if he gains power in the future, then the country will not be overturned. ”

"Reasonable," Mrs. Qi finally opened her mouth, "When a woman enters the palace, she has to check her identity, and she can't be unclean, let alone have children?" ”

Concubine Qi agreed, "This is what the women in the palace pay the most attention to, and it is also to ensure that the royal blood is pure, so as not to cause complications and cholera." ”

Bu Tong felt that things were still not quite right, if the descendants of the royal family were strict in blood, then why would the Liu family, who respected the jade and precious gods, give birth in seven months? Why does Your Majesty allow a straw bale prince to live in Kyoto City honorably, but he can't accommodate the three princes? But if the heir is suspicious, why did His Majesty give him the title and dignity of the prince, instead of quietly "solving" this hidden danger?

Could it be that like Bai Ye, he attaches too much importance to that Liu family?

Aunt Qi quickly expressed Butong's doubts,

"If the identity of the third prince is correct, then the Liu family was pregnant before entering the palace, but if he was really forced into the palace, he would naturally not be close to His Majesty too early, but this is not the same as the relationship between her already married contract and the person she likes, not to mention, Your Majesty's indifference to this third highness is undisguised."

Everyone fell into doubt again, but Bu Tong felt that what Bai Peony said was not the whole truth, so he simply got up,

"We've talked about the stalemate before, so let's go and take a look."

"No," Mrs. Qi said decisively, "You are seriously injured in the eyes of everyone now, if you appear in front of everyone in a good manner, your father and brother are afraid that they will not be able to resist the intercession person, and it is better not to show up." ”

Chun Tao suddenly came in the door and spoke anxiously,

"Miss, the Duke of Beiguo and His Royal Highness are going to the courtyard, saying that they want to visit Miss's injury, but the adults did not stop him, and ordered Chang'an to come first."

If you don't want to see it, you have to see it, Bu Tong hurriedly said goodbye to the two relatives and hurriedly returned to the courtyard......

Fortunately, Butong's yard is not far from Mrs. Qi's residence, Butong is lying down here, Chun Tao moved out of the screen and put it down, and there was a family member outside the door, "Sister Chun Tao, the adults have come to see Miss." ”

Chun Tao went to answer the door, Bu Tong hurriedly calmed down and gasped to recover the appearance of the first awakening, only to hear the chaotic footsteps at the door approaching, slowly opened his eyes, it was still a combination of Bu Tingyun, Bai Ye and Tang Xuanlin, Bai Ye opened his mouth first,

"Is Tong'er better?"

Bu Tong nodded reluctantly, "I finally stopped the bleeding, and I don't have much strength on my body." ”

Bu Tingyun angrily stretched out his hand to put Bai Ye aside, "My daughter doesn't need you to pretend, who can beat a weak woman like this in broad daylight, and he still wants to lead the troops to fight?" How can this Third Highness bear the expectations of the people of this world! You are so good that you have been Tong'er's uncle for more than ten years, and now you actually persuade me to keep quiet, why can't I order Fu Yin to give me an explanation! ”

Bai Ye's somewhat helpless appearance persuaded him gently,

"No one told you to swallow this breath, but now the big war is coming......"

Bu Tingyun almost slapped the table,

"Where's the Lie Battle Tiger?! Can't he get 200,000 soldiers? If he doesn't have the ability to do this, then he is really old, go back and ask His Royal Highness Fourth to order my family Yi Yang to go, and he, the fierce tiger general, will stay at home to care for the elderly! ”

A few words blocked Bai Ye to death, and suddenly he didn't know what to say, Tang Xuanlin suddenly stepped forward,

"Lord Nanguo, Lord Beiguo, Your Majesty has recently found out some things, I don't know if the two of you are interested in listening to it, it also has something to do with the county lord's mother, and there seems to be another hidden story about the assassination on the road to control the pox epidemic."
