Chapter 164: See the Man in the Painting Again (5)

Yun Xiao listened to the meaning of Wang's words, and seemed to know a lot of inside information about what happened back then.

I really didn't expect that after going around and checking for so long, in the end, she actually returned to the "original point".

If she had thought of asking her mother earlier, she probably wouldn't have taken so many detours.

It's just that Yun Xiao back then focused on the harmony between his parents, worried that he would speak a little carelessly, and his mother would find out that he was investigating his grandfather's affairs, which caused discord between his parents.

However, now, it is more appropriate to ask her mother on the grounds that Xia Rui wants to investigate the matter of Concubine Rou, so that even if she asks a few more words, her mother will not think too much.

So, Yun Xiao said:

"Mother, what you say, why is it so strange? As far as her daughter knows, that Princess Loulan passed away long before Concubine Rou entered the palace, how could she possibly take Concubine Rou's life? ”

Wang looked at Yun Xiao, smiled slightly, and said:

"Silly girl, Princess Loulan did pass away very early, but the emperor liked Princess Loulan, that was the first time the emperor liked a girl, this is other women, it can't be compared! On the contrary, Concubine Rou also likes someone for the first time, that is the first emperor, she fought with the queen mother for the grace of the first emperor for a lifetime, and she was angry for a lifetime, the life of the two in the harem is much more exciting than what is written in the play book! However, suddenly one day, Concubine Rou found that the man she had loved all her life had never loved herself, just because she looked like Princess Loulan, who had passed away a long time ago. This kind of thing, no one can accept it......"

Wang's words are reasonable, and Yun Xiao can't refute them.

She only said: "How did Concubine Rou suddenly know that she looked similar to Princess Loulan?" Who told her about it? ”

Wang was stunned when he heard this.

She had never seriously thought about this question.

Now that Yun Xiao asked her like this, she couldn't give an answer for a while, she thought about it carefully before answering:

"This matter, there have been some years in the past, especially the matter between the former emperor and Princess Loulan, if anyone knows now, I can be sure now, only the queen mother and Liu An, who has been serving the emperor! As for whether the Queen Mother told Concubine Yu about this, I can't be sure, and ...... The older generation of the Gao family may also know the inside story, after all, before the first emperor was still the crown prince in the East Palace and did not ascend the throne, the clan that had the closest relationship with the first emperor, except for our Yun family, was their Gao family! It's just that later, with the accession to the throne of the first emperor, the ambitions of the Gao family became bigger and bigger, and the first emperor became more and more jealous of the Gao family......"

Speaking of this, Wang couldn't help but pause, sighed, and continued,

"I still remember that in the years when Prince Min was born, the emperor was the most gracious to the Gao family, and the Gao family's status in the court was unrivaled, and no matter how hard the rising clan tried, it did not surpass the Gao family until ...... It wasn't until Prince Min became an adult, and gradually there was some news that the emperor reprimanded Prince Min, and the status of the Gao family was shaken a little, but until Prince Min died, the Gao family still did not fall, it can be seen that the emperor still cared about the feelings of the first in the East Palace, unlike now, the emperor and the Gao family have had a feud from the beginning......"
