Chapter 371: Not necessarily an affair
But she really can't believe this possibility, what kind of person is Concubine Ye, can she not know?
She is in love with Yan Yining, and she has accompanied him to garrison the border for several years, how could she be pregnant with the emperor's son?!
What's more, Yan Tang is twenty-one years old, twenty-one years ago Yan Yining was still there, is the emperor the kind of person who secretly crosses Chen Cang on the plank road and takes possession of his wife behind his brother's back?
Even if she believed that the emperor was this kind of person, she would never believe that Concubine Ye was this kind of person, let alone believe that Yan Yining could not know anything about it, or that she could tolerate it if she knew!
She looked at Xiao Heng deeply for a while, and two different kinds of him in the past and present lives kept alternating in front of her eyes.
In the past, he always didn't talk nonsense and was quite urban, and even sometimes he could make her a little admired, but he only made her feel crazy!
Is he doing anything to discredit Yantang?
What son would suspect that his son was having an affair with his brother's widow, and he could still take it seriously to her?
She admits that she was getting a little irritable.
"I thought that the prince had some bottom line, but I didn't expect that you were this kind of person who spread rumors and slandered others out of thin air, what kind of enmity does the Yan family have with you? So you don't hesitate to do so many unsavory tricks behind your back?
"Yan Tang's father lost his life to protect your Xiao family, and as a result, his wife was splashed with such dirty water by you! Does the prince really have a clear conscience? ”
Xiao Heng was always calm, and she didn't speak slowly until she finished speaking: "Did I say that the emperor was fortunate to be with Concubine Ye?" ”
Qi Miao's face was covered with coldness.
He snorted lightly: "The eldest child of the Yan family may not be Yan Yining's son, he calls Concubine Ye his mother, and he may not be born to Concubine Ye." ”
Xiao Heng was slow and reasonable, and such grace made Qi Mi a little stunned.
He said: "If you check casually, you will know that Yan Tang's place of birth is in the northwest, and Concubine Ye has been stationed in the northwest with her husband for three or four years. But the exact place of his birth was on the way back to Beijing from the northwest.
"And you may not know that Concubine Ye left the northwest that year and then returned to Yanjing, and it took half a year on the road."
Qi Yiyi looked at him with bated breath, no matter how fast his brain turned on weekdays, he couldn't turn it at the moment.
"Twenty-one years ago, Concubine Ye and Yan Yining were stationed in the northwest, and that year there was really chaos in the north, and Yan Yining and Duan Hongfei finally won this battle.
"Duan Wangye was martyred, and Yan Yining was left to take care of the endgame.
Not long afterward, Concubine Ye set off to go back to Beijing, because she was pregnant, and later said that she could not bear the pain of traveling and driving halfway, so she went around the nearest palace and stayed temporarily.
And this stay was half a year, until she returned to Beijing after giving birth. When I returned to Beijing, it was February of the following year.
When Yan Tang was carried back to Beijing, the old people who had seen him at that time said that he was quite big and his limbs were quite flexible. To put it simply, it doesn't look like a newborn child. ”
It took a long time for Qi to close his wide mouth.
"If you think about it, there are a lot of doubts here."
Speaking of this, Xiao Heng paused, took away a locust petal that fell on the cuffs, and then continued: "Not to mention why she, as an official dependent, was able to get the will of the palace halfway to obtain the qualification to temporarily stay in the palace, just to say that according to this calculation, Concubine Ye was at least four or five months pregnant when she left the northwest.
"And it was June — do you know what's going on in June?"
Qi Yiyi looked at him with a cup, but he didn't move, but there was already some oil under his fingers.
"In June of that year, Da Yin was defeated." Xiao Heng said, "In other words, after Beizhen finished fighting, Concubine Ye immediately set off back to Yanjing.
"Concubine Ye is three or four months pregnant, and she doesn't leave before the battle starts, but she evacuates immediately after the battle is won, do you think it's normal?"
Qi Mi didn't speak.
Yan Tang was born in the northwest and knew in her previous life that it was not surprising that many of the children of the noble generals were born in the station, and sometimes even in the battlefield.
But Xiao Heng knew these details that she never knew!
Concubine Ye gave birth to Yan Tang in the palace, no, according to him, it should be said that Yan Tang's mother gave birth to him in the palace, and Yan Yining and his wife both knew about it, so what did he mean was that the emperor was fortunate to have someone else, and Yan Tang was the child born to the woman who was fortunate to the emperor?
"It's just your guess. Why can't Concubine Ye stay in the palace? You all know that Yan Tang's father won the battle against Beizhen at that time, couldn't the emperor treat his wife and children generously because he was grateful for his merits?
"Why do you have to think things so dirty?" Saying that, she leaned over slightly, and looked at him with a cold face: "You smear your father and emperor like this behind your back, does he know?" ”
Xiao Heng was not angry, and raised his lips at her: "I'm not smearing him, I'm just telling my basis."
"He is a monarch, even in the past, he was a prince, and it is not a strange thing that he is fortunate to have one or two women. Otherwise, do you think those concubines in the palace are all decorations? ”
Qi Yiyi looked at him, pursed his lips and looked at the lake.
The king's three palaces and six courtyards are indeed not unusual. What's more, their Xiao family members are very handsome, even if the emperor is such an age, he is still quite attractive, not to mention that he was so young twenty-one years ago?
And at that time, he was still a noble prince who had made remarkable contributions to assisting the first emperor on the road to the throne, and it was not too easy to attract a folk woman.
But she still couldn't accept it in her heart. It's not that she can't accept it, it's that she can't accept it. He shouldn't have such a shady background...... Even if he's a dragon!
She pinched her palms and stared at the lake for a moment, then returned to the topic: "If you have no basis, it's better not to talk nonsense." When it reaches the ears of the emperor, the prince will definitely not have any good fruits to eat. ”
Xiao Heng tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said for a long time: "Since you think I'm talking nonsense, forget it." ”
Qi Mi didn't leave.
She couldn't move.
Even if she doesn't want to believe this, it is undeniable that what Xiao Heng said can indeed be used as a basis.
She sat for a while, and then said, "What does this have to do with Xu Qian?" ”
Xiao Heng didn't take any precautions, took two sips of tea in silence, and then said: "Xu Qian died in July, you should know." He died in the paddock, you know. Then, now you should know that when the emperor went to hunt, it was the time when Concubine Ye stayed in the palace to recuperate.
In other words, no matter who Yan Tang's biological mother is, she should have met the emperor when Xu Qian died.
"So, how can you be sure that the cause of Xu Qian's death is not related to Yan Tang's biological mother, who is being favored?"
