Chapter 220: A Little Past
If Cao Zhengci knew that the only weakness of Zongzheng Huashu that she was holding in her hand was gone, would she be even more crazy? Will it get worse and more terrifying?
The answer is obvious.
With her hatred for the Zongzheng clan, she absolutely would.
Speaking of which, among them, there is also a past that only wild history can record.
At that time, Cao Zhengci first entered the palace and was still an ignorant little girl.
But this little girl is the granddaughter of General Cao, who was famous all over the world at that time, her father is also General Weiyuan, the eldest brother is the squire of the criminal department of the court, the second brother is in Xiwen, he is a gentleman of the Guozijian, her mother is the daughter of a medical family, and her maternal grandfather is a respected imperial doctor in the imperial hospital.
Even the queen at that time didn't go to her birth.
At that time, the Cao family could be said to control half of the Zongzheng family, and Cao Zheng's resignation into the harem turned the harem into his own territory.
It's just that Cao Zhengci, who was young and ignorant at that time, fell in love with a guard in the palace, and did something with him, and became pregnant with a child who was not the child of the first emperor......
Not many people know about this matter, so most people who have heard of it are just joking, after all-
How could a person with such an identity as the first emperor tolerate his concubine Hongxing going out of the wall? If Cao Guifei really did that kind of degrading thing, the first emperor would definitely sink her into the pond to set an example.
But Yan Jinxi knows that this is not a joke, and it is not someone who wants to slander Cao Zhengci, this is the truth, a fact that cannot be erased.
The reason why the first emperor was able to tolerate her since then was entirely because of the Cao family.
It wasn't until a few years later that the first emperor finally found an opportunity, and gradually and unconsciously weakened most of the Cao family's power in the imperial court, leaving only some dispensable official positions.
During that time, only two or three years, the first emperor could always find all kinds of excuses - "for the sake of the Cao family" and "for the good of the Cao family" to marginalize and dilute the power of the Cao family.
However, although the first emperor's excuse was ingenious, in a short period of time, more than half of the Cao family's people in the imperial court were transferred to inconsequential positions, and no one would be able to find out that something was wrong, right?
The Cao family knows that something is wrong, something is wrong.
And Cao Zhengci, who was deep in the harem, naturally sensed that something was wrong. Since then, she has been looking for an opportunity to help the guard who had sex with her escape from the palace, and she is also trying to find a way to protect herself and the guard's child.
It's just that......
It was too late.
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late, but she was still hesitant to make a decision neatly, which delayed her even more.
It can only be said that it all came too suddenly.
Suddenly...... It's unprepared, it's terrifying.
The guard was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows at the gate of the imperial city and died, but the reason was - to kill the concubine and the prince, and absconded in fear of crime.
How ridiculous!
What's even more ridiculous is that it wasn't until the news reached Cao Zhengci's ears that she knew that her child had also died, on the horse farm.
Losing a lover, losing a child, and having no family to accompany and enlighten him in Beijing, how can Cao Zhengci's heart be better?
This is also the root of Cao Zhengci's hatred of the Zongzheng clan.... One.
If only because of these two points, it didn't seem to be enough to make her hold a grudge for so long.
If you think about the rest of the story, it's too much.
Yan Jinxi shook his head helplessly.
If you want to ask her why she knows so much and knows so clearly, the reason is simple.
For so many years, she has almost never fallen in the morning and dusk, but she is not in vain, not to mention, the eyes and ears of Cinnabar are not useless waste.
Chensha, thinking of this person, Yan Jinxi couldn't help but smile again, this person is really stupid, but he is also very smart, it sounds very contradictory? This is not the case.
said that she was stupid because she, as a person from Cao Zhengci's side, had been by Zong Zhenghuashu's side for so many years, and she had not won Zong Zhenghuashu's trust, which also made Cao Zhengci more and more disappointed in her.
She's a double agent, and she's really a failure.
But it's not without reason to say she's smart.
She is very principled, she has never lost herself, but she has always been very clear that she is her Yan Jinxi's person. She didn't let Cao Zhengci doubt her sincerity, she just didn't do it so much to satisfy Cao Zhengci......
The clouds are all kinds of things, which is enough to reflect her intelligence.
Sometimes, if it's done too perfectly, it will make people suspicious, and the state of cinnabar is the best and least suspicious.
Back to the topic, Yan Jinxi continued to say to Li Changqing: "Cao Zhengci will not let go of the Zongzheng clan, from the time she sat on the throne of the queen mother, all this was doomed...... Therefore, she will definitely not give up. ”
"This poor road naturally appears, but since the poor road has promised you, Niangniang, you will definitely keep Your Highness's safety at all times, but you are really positive."
Li Changqing said calmly.
"Positive?" Yan Jinxi smiled, "Do you want me to be positive about Zong Zhengze, or positive about Cao Zhengxi?" Or is it positive for Rongxi Palace? She laughed sarcastically and uninhibitedly.
It's really funny.
"Neither." Li Changqing's face sank, and he said with a little impatience: "Poor Dao is to say, let you and Your Highness be more active about the throne. ”
"Do you think that if you don't fight, don't grab, don't show your desire for the throne, you can successfully escape? Miss by a mile! Li Changqing suddenly stood up, raised his voice and said, "As long as you sit in the position of the crown prince, you are destined to be swept into the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power." ”
This is an eternal truth.
Yan Jinxi suddenly let out a sneer, and Li Changqing got goosebumps all over his body with laughter, "Why are you laughing if you have nothing to do?!" Li Changqing asked reproachfully.
"Bengong is laughing, naturally laughing at you, isn't this the bureau set up when you were still a enlightened Taoist in the past? It's as if I want Shu'er to be this prince and this prince. Yan Jinxi said without hesitation.
If it weren't for the words of him, the enlightened Taoist, "This son has white hair and blue eyes, is the reincarnation of the ancient gods, and he will inherit the ...... of the great unification", how could her special son become the crown prince?
I'm afraid that she will be treated as a monster and be beaten into the cold palace together with her.
Of course, she would rather be "implicated", but she didn't, just because Li Changqing said such an unreliable sentence at that time.
Sometimes she even feels that Zong Zheng Zexiu is too superstitious and believes in these cultivators too much...
"Niangniang's ridicule, it's not appropriate to leave it here at all." Li Changqing didn't feel embarrassed, and replied calmly like water.
