Chapter 78: Control [Second Update]

The bright moon was on the head, Guiying was swaying, and the moment King Chun saw the beauty, he couldn't hide his joy.

After the father saw his mother, he didn't dare to show it too much, which attracted attention. But her identity was easily ascertained afterwards. And Song Zhao, in order to prevent his father from getting close to his mother and concubine from time to time, reconciled with her, and stayed around all day long. In fact, my mother didn't think anything wrong about my father at that time. Everything was because of Song Zhao's constant small actions in private, which gradually contributed to the relationship between his father and his mother. ”

"If the Empress Dowager Song directly expressed to Su Guifei that she was concerned about King Chun, presumably Su Guifei would not have feelings for King Chun later."

"That's right. But Song Zhao didn't want to speak, as if he said it, it was to admit that he had lost to the other party. Therefore, she never won the attention of her father. From his father chasing after his mother all day long, to his mother being moved by him, and then to the deep love between the two, Song Zhao lost in 'not being honest'. ”

Obviously, Su Ran didn't care about King Chun, and it was obvious that Song Zhao was no worse than Su Ran. But things in the world are like this, deliberately planting flowers and flowers, waiting for idle willows and willows to become shady. Ji Erlan looked at Yang Zhen's silent but meaningful face, and said, "Presumably, what the prince asked me to help investigate was what happened after these two entered the palace and entered the palace?" ”

Yang Zhen looked back at her and said, "The things I said before, the part of my father and mother, were sorted out from the words of my father and mother when I was young. Others, especially about the actions of the Empress Dowager Song, have been secretly investigated and learned by me for many years. However, there are still many things that have not been clarified, such as how the accident happened when my mother was about to become Princess Chun, and where she went in the years when she disappeared. Also, my grandfather's family was demoted to prison for embezzling official silver, and almost all of them were wiped out, what is the reason? ”

Ji Erlan was stunned, she didn't expect that there was still the old case of the Su family. "The prince said that the Su family was 'almost completely destroyed', is there still the Su family alive at this time?"

Yang Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded. "It's my uncle's sons and daughters, who were sent out of the Su family since they were children."

"A pair of children? So where are the siblings now, and are they safe? Ji Erlan said this, and suddenly frowned: "Wait...... The Su family? A brother and sister? Could it be that they ......" she looked at Yang Zhen in surprise. Yang Zhen looked back at her and said confirmatively: "It's in your house." ”

Ji Erlan was dumbfounded. Yang Zhen continued: "At first, I once doubted whether you had ulterior motives, but later I found out that you had other purposes and didn't know anything about the Su family's affairs. ”

"The prince asked me to submit my whereabouts every day, is it to find out my intentions and movements?"

Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?" Do you think that this king is just deliberately angry with you? ”

Ji Erlan choked, rolled her eyes at him, and asked, "Did the prince guess that everything was done by the Empress Dowager Song?" ”

Yang Zhen did not answer, but said: "After my mother disappeared, everyone thought she was dead. Song Zhao often approached my father in the name of my mother's handkerchief, and perhaps my father felt that the only thing he could get in this life, about his mother's concubine, was Song Zhao. So after taking the throne, he welcomed Song Zhao into the palace, and Song Zhao often mentioned my mother's concubine in front of his father, so he was very cherished by his father, and soon gave birth to a prince. ”

"However, your mother came back at this time?"

"That's right, after my mother came back, the Su family had already fallen, and she sent a message to my father through the palace people she was familiar with back then. When his father learned that his mother was still alive, he immediately summoned her to the palace and wanted to be canonized as queen. However, she was already the daughter of a criminal and was opposed by many people, so the matter was put on hold for the time being. After that, my mother also became pregnant soon after, and she conceived and gave birth to me in October. ”

Ji Erlan calculated the time in his heart and said: "The emperor has been on the throne for nearly nine years, and now he is twenty-five years old, six years older than you, could it be that your mother and concubine entered the palace six years later than the Empress Dowager Song?" So she disappeared for six years. Didn't you ask her where she had been all these years? ”

Yang Zhen's gaze seemed to be frozen in the night outside the window, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." When my mother died, I was still young, how could I know how to ask such a question, not to mention that at that time, I didn't know about the entanglement between the three of them. The imperial brother treated me like a sibling, until Song Zhao was made the queen, and I gradually realized from her attitude that there was something unusual between them. ”

Do 'they' include the former emperor, the Empress Dowager Song, and the current emperor? Ji Erlan seems to have a feeling that King Wataru seems to have lived in an elaborate scam since he was a child.

Yang Zhen said slowly: "When I realized that the people around me had changed unconsciously, and the cause of my mother's death had yet to be investigated, my father was already seriously ill and couldn't speak. I was just ten years old that year. ”

A ten-year-old child, without the protection of his biological mother in a place like the palace, is about to lose his father who loves him the most, and the people close to him are replaced one by one and die. Ji Erlan didn't need to think about it to know that his invulnerable heart should have been sharpened little by little from worry and fear at that time.

"My father and the emperor are gone, and the emperor's brother, as the eldest son, is the natural successor, but their mother and son are more and more wary of me, and even on the friendly faces that are deliberately maintained, I can detect their hostility."

"However, in the outside world, everyone is singing that the Empress Dowager Song treats you like a parent, and the emperor treats you very kindly." Ji Erlan almost felt the same way, in an environment that once thought he was warm and comfortable, he peeled off the cocoon little by little, and finally realized that everything was an illusion, that kind of fear, that kind of helplessness, and he wanted to quickly destroy himself in the dark and let the nightmare wake up quickly.

"I'm walking on thin ice in the palace, careful. When I was able to reach out to the darkness, the truth was getting farther and farther away from me, and all the doubts disappeared in time, and it became more and more difficult to figure out. At the age of sixteen, he went to Chaozhou to quell the rebellion, and many people hoped that he would die, but he not only returned safely, but also had his own power.

"Therefore, the purpose of the prince is not only to find out the old case of the Su family and the cause of your mother's death, but also to freely control his future life."

Yang Zheng's face gradually softened, looked at Ji Erlan and said, "First of all, we must start by refusing this family business. ”

Ji Erlan guessed: "Is it Yan Lingtian?" ”

"Maybe it's Song Yaoxian."

Song Yaoxian? Ji Erlan was surprised: "Is it Song Yuheng's sister, the second daughter of the Song family?" ”

"However, I am not optimistic about these two people. So, over to you. ”

The corners of Ji Erlan's mouth twitched: "Don't you have any ideas yourself?" ”

"My every move is always watched, so naturally it is not as convenient as you. And I really don't have an idea at this point. ”

Ji Erlan didn't expect that she would take on such a matter, and she suddenly had a headache, she thought about it and said, "If Song Yaoxian becomes your princess, the Empress Dowager Song and the emperor will be able to further control you." And the Yan family wants Yan Lingtian to be your princess, presumably to break the balance between the family and the two kings. ”

"Now that you've analyzed it so thoroughly, you should also know that the stakes are high, and the sooner you resolve it, the better."

Ji Erlan stood up, straightened her dress, and said, "This girl is not in a good mood, and she wants to leave over the wall." ”

Yuexi has been standing outside the door for more than an hour, her legs are sore, and she doesn't dare to leave, she hasn't seen the prince return to life! Hearing Ji Erlan open the door and come out, she couldn't help but laugh, she wanted to climb over the wall when she was in a good mood, and she had to climb over the wall when she was in a bad mood, in short, Miss Ji didn't take the usual path.

Yang Zhen saw Yuexi looking at Ji Erlan and laughing, and suddenly said: "It's better to let Yuexi follow you in the future, if there is anything, it will be more convenient." ”

Before Ji Erlan could answer, Yuexi had already knelt down and kowtowed, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Lord Wang, Yuexi is willing to follow the girl." ”

Yang Zhen's face turned dark, Ji Erlan smiled secretly in her heart, dragged the moon breath and squeezed her eyes, and the two ran over the wall together.

Lei Ze stepped forward and said cautiously: "Lord Wang, do you still want the cup that Miss Ji has drunk tea with?" ”

Yang Zhen glanced back at him, snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

Lei Ze was puzzled for a moment, looked at the cup in his hand, and didn't know what to do. I heard Yang Zhen say through the door of the study: "Keep it." ”

"Uh...... Yes, Lord Wang. Lei Ze responded in his mouth, couldn't help but look at the teacup in his hand for a while, pointed at it, and sighed: "Oh, you are blessed, you are the first time you have been used by others, and you can still stay in the teacup in the palace!" ”

Yang Zhen, who heard Lei Ze muttering at the next door, jumped fiercely.

After Ji Erlan left the Wang's Mansion, he thought about it in his mind, what happened in Beijing at this time in his previous life, and he could use it. However, two or three days passed, and she still didn't come up with a reason. The news of Qincheng's autumn season reached the capital at this time.

Qin smiled and couldn't see his eyes, and took Qin Cheng's letter to the empty mountain Xiaozhu to find Ji Erlan. "Er Lan, your uncle has passed the exam, he has passed the exam!"

Ji Erlan's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Qin Shi held the letter in his arms, as if he was holding a baby in the tenth generation, and he was overjoyed: "Great, it's a great thing!" In the future, your uncle will be a lifter! ”

"Auntie! You're right, it's a great thing. Ji Erlan was very happy in his heart, his uncle could lift people, whether it was Qin Cheng himself or Qin's mother and son, it would be very beneficial in the future. Although she already knows that she is not their blood relative, this has not changed for her, they are still her closest and most cherished people.

"When your uncle comes to Beijing in the spring of next year, we will be reunited again."

Ji Erlan said with a smile: "Why wait for next spring, it's better to let my uncle come to Beijing now and live in our house, as soon as we come, we can help my uncle everywhere and let him concentrate on studying." Second, the students in Beijing are like clouds, and my uncle will benefit a lot from more contact. ”

"This ......" Qin hesitated a little: "Can your father agree?" ”

Ji Erlan promised: "Don't worry, my father will agree." Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, Chunyu?
