Chapter 389: The Death of the Concubine

Wu Zhan almost didn't sleep all night, but he was afraid of arguing with Hu Man, so he kept hugging her motionless, and the night allowed him to calm down and think about his future.

The wife and daughter around him, his father and younger brother, this is his relatives who depend on each other, and the biological mother is no longer there, the emperor... There is no shortage of a son like him who can't identify himself, and he feels that he doesn't have to think about him, but should plan for these people.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhan didn't even eat, so he went into the palace, and the emperor naturally immediately passed into the study: "Why is it so early?" Don't have breakfast yet, do you? โ€

Wu Zhan said lightly: "Emperor Xie cares, he has already used it, and he entered the palace early in the morning to disturb the emperor, there are two requests, I hope the emperor can grant it." โ€

He was willing to make a request, which was a good thing for the emperor: "Sit down and talk." โ€

Wu Zhan shook his head: "No need, the minister wants to ask for an order, go to the cemetery to see the tomb of Concubine Zhen." โ€

This emperor naturally has no reason to refuse: "Yes, I let Shan Qianhai accompany you, naturally no one will stop you!" What else is there? โ€

Wu Zhan took a deep breath: "The minister wants to resign and leave Changling." โ€

The emperor was stunned: "Why?" Are you still weird? Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you in the future, that Qin Tianjian, Qin Tianjian I will also deal with it, although I can't give you the title of prince, but my status and power will never treat you badly! โ€

Wu Zhan shook his head: "The emperor misunderstood, after avenging my mother before, he had already planned to resign, but it was only delayed because of this case, if the emperor is really for the good of his ministers, I hope the emperor can fulfill it." โ€

The emperor looked at him with some heartache: "I have already lost you a long time ago, and it is not easy to regain it, our father and son can be reunited, I can't let you go!" โ€

"The emperor can be regarded as having never had me, so it may be better for everyone." Wu Zhan did not waver: "The emperor said that the status and power, the minister does not want it, I just hope that the emperor will not think of me in the future, and the minister is very grateful." โ€

"You're my child!" The emperor was a little anxious: "The rivers and mountains of this country, I can give you anything except for my name, why bother to live those hard days again?" Qi Yuan told me that you have had a hard time for more than 20 years, and I just, I just want to make amends. โ€

"Although it is hard, the peace of mind and physical suffering are far worse than now." In the past, I sometimes felt bitter, but often at night, I fell asleep, but now that I have glory and wealth, I can't sleep well at night.

The emperor waved his hand a little tiredly: "Don't say it, don't say it, you go and see your mother first!" Let's get back to it. โ€

Wu Zhan was waiting at the gate of the palace, and it didn't take long for Shan Qianhai to come out, and when he saw Wu Zhan with his back to him and standing with his hands in his hands, he felt that although he was the emperor's son, he was more like the emperor... The emperor took over the stable world from the hands of the first emperor, but the first emperor was beaten down from horseback, and the character and ability of martial arts are more like the first emperor.

"Master Wu." Shan Qianhai calmed himself down: "I'm older, and my movements are slower, which makes Master Wu wait for a long time." โ€

Wu Zhan glanced back at him, remembering that he seemed to have asked about his life experience several times, and it turned out that he had already noticed it: "It's okay, it's bothering my father-in-law to lead the way." โ€

The palace is still some distance from the cemetery, and when he arrives at the place, Shan Qianhai took out the token: "I am ordered to bring Master Wu and let him go!" โ€

This is a separate cemetery, not buried with anyone in one place, the cemetery is also very large, the environment is very beautiful, it can be seen that the emperor carefully selected the place, the more you go up the mountain, the more complicated the mood of martial arts, and when you get to the tombstone, Shan Qianhai said: "Our family retreats first." โ€

Wu Zhan took out the prepared tribute, looked at the tombstone blankly, this is his own mother, lifted his robe, knelt down in front of the grave, put the tribute in place, and said: "I'm here, if you know from the spring, you should know who I am, right?" โ€

Wu Zhan lit the paper money: "Today is the first time I came to see you, maybe, and for the last time, I will leave Changling in the future, live the kind of life you want me to live, and never come back." "Kowtowed a few times, no matter what, grateful for her fertility.

After going down the mountain, Shan Qianhai was waiting at the door, and when Wu Zhan walked over, Shan Qianhai hurriedly stopped: "Master Wu, we want to talk to Lord Wu for a few words." โ€

Wu Zhan also happened to have something to ask him: "Father-in-law Shan is said to have been serving Concubine Zhen?" โ€

Shan Qianhai nodded: "When the concubine did not become a concubine, she was the master of our family, and when the previous dynasty was destroyed, it was the concubine who interceded with the emperor and spared our family's life." Shan Qianhai looked at no one around, and knelt down: "The old slave has seen the little master!" โ€

Wu Zhan wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him: "I heard that it was the result of the fire on the day of Concubine Zhen's death, and Qin Tianjian speculated again, so the emperor decided to take the lives of me and Wu Yuan, and you are the one who is responsible for the preparation of the death day, right?" โ€

Shan Qianhai nodded: "The old slave didn't dare to hide it, because Qi Yuan was unwilling to tell the truth, and the old slave had no choice but to make this decision, forcing him to confess to the emperor." โ€

"Why?" Wu Zhan would rather not know anything now: "Since you know the background of this official, do you think it will be a good thing to expose it?" โ€

Shan Qianhai sighed helplessly: "The old slave knows that the little master must be difficult to accept, but there are some things, if you don't know it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, you can't escape it, if you can, the old slave doesn't want to disturb the peaceful life of the little master, but the concubine is your biological mother after all, can you really stand by and watch her affairs?" โ€

Wu Zhan's eyebrows skipped a beat: "What do you mean?" โ€

"Why did the little master think that the concubine died at a young age? She is all for the little master to live! โ€

Wu Zhan's eyes were sharp: "You make it clear!" โ€

"With the emperor's favor for the emperor, if other women knew about it, would she give birth to the emperor's child? At that time, the existence of the little master was a great threat to any woman in the harem! โ€

Without waiting for Wu Zhan to ask again, Shan Qianhai continued: "So the old slave suspects that the concubine did not commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake at all, but was forced to death by someone!" โ€

Wu Zhan's body tensed and took a step forward: "Who?" โ€

Shan Qianhai shook his head: "The old slave doesn't know, if the old slave knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't be alive today, but after being pregnant at that time, in order to prevent others from knowing, the emperor sent the concubine to another courtyard on the outskirts of the city for strict care, and then sent the little master away, it should be no one in the palace who knows, and the concubine has no need to seek death at all!" โ€

Wu Zhanmei's heart jumped: "You mean, someone may know about her pregnancy, and use this to threaten her and force her to death?" โ€

Shan Qianhai nodded hurriedly: "That's what the old slave thinks, because when sending off the little master, the concubine only gave Qi Yuan half a piece, and kept half of it for herself, obviously keeping it for the opportunity to meet in the future!" But a few days after sending away, he turned to give the abbot half of the piece of jade he left, the old slave was still a little puzzled at that time, and then the concubine died before she figured it out, she knew that she had no chance to see the little master again, so she sent the jade out! โ€

What is the martial artist on the stone wall on the side? Did someone know everything and threaten her with herself, so she sacrificed herself in order to protect him? Is that really the case? She died for herself?

Shan Qianhai choked up a little: "If you don't feel that the concubine is wronged, the old slave doesn't want to force the identity of the little master out, the old slave feels that with the love and righteousness of the little master, he must not be able to watch the person who killed the concubine alive." โ€

"Do you know who it is?"

Shan Qianhai shook his head: "The old slave doesn't know either, but it's nothing more than a few concubines who had heirs in the harem at that time......"

Wu Zhan fell into deep thought, the crown prince's biological mother, that is, the first empress, had already passed away, although the biological mother of the third prince was not dead at that time, but she was already in a humble position, and she was frightened and bullied in the palace, not to mention that she had the ability to deal with others......

The rest is the current queen and the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Lian? This is the situation of the harem as Wu Zhan currently knows: "Do you have a suspicious candidate? There was a pregnant and heir in the harem before, or someone with status, who do you think it might be? โ€

Shan Qianhai seemed to have thought about it hundreds of times, and without even thinking about it, he said: "Queen, or Concubine Lian!" โ€

Sure enough, what Wu Zhan thought was the same, Wu Zhan exhaled deeply: "But these are just speculations of yours, after all, there is no evidence, and it can't be ruled out that she really committed suicide, right?" โ€

"The old slave dares to guarantee that it is by no means that simple!" Shan Qianhai said eagerly: "The concubine did think about suicide before, but after she became pregnant, the whole person was a lot more cheerful, gave birth to the little master, and doted on the little master very much, and almost never left her hand during the confinement...... It was the little master who gave the concubine the hope of living, and if there was no accident, she would never have cut herself off. โ€

Wu Zhan's expression was complicated, and after hearing more about her, she was really touched in her heart, after all, she had really been thinking about herself, and she had let herself live a stable life for more than 20 years.

"So, I need to re-investigate this?"

Shan Qianhai nodded hurriedly: "The old slave has actually wanted to find out all these years, and he could have been able to leave the palace for a long time, but he has been staying in the palace just to see if he can find out some clues. โ€

Only then did Wu Zhan help him up: "Go back to the official mansion and say!" โ€

Shan Qianhai smiled bitterly: "Go to the little master's mansion... I'm afraid that the old slave's old bones can't withstand Qi Yuan's beating. โ€

Wu Zhanbai glanced at him: "You also know that my father is angry with your itchy teeth?" โ€

"The old slave promised him not to say anything, just to ask for the identity of the little master, and sold him in a blink of an eye, and he naturally hated him to death." Shan Qianhai sighed: "Forget it, sooner or later, you have to have this time, and you can't keep hiding, just let him eliminate this breath." โ€
