Chapter 70: Concubine Xiao's Secret (3)
He didn't believe that the gentle, mother-like Concubine Xiao Shufei could do such a thing. He wanted to go to Brother Jiu to ask for an understanding, but learned that Brother Jiu was also angry with his father and was grounded in the palace.
When he saw him again, the ninth brother who had protected him and loved him looked at him with such cold eyes, even ...... With a hint of resentment, he shuddered.
Something, a gulf between them that could not be crossed.
"She died because of you!" Zhan Xian sneered at him, and spit out a few words in his mouth, which once became a nightmare that haunted him.
He doesn't understand what he's done wrong!?
But Zhan Xianjun refused to say a word to him again!
The strange thing is that after Concubine Xiao Shufei's death, the queen mother's attitude towards him has improved a lot.
After Concubine Xiao Shufei's death, Zhan Xianzhuo's personality changed greatly, and the previous stable and sunny boy had a more and more gloomy and unpredictable personality.
Every time Zhan Xianjun talked to him, he was either as cold as ice or sneering at him.
Gradually, Zhan Xianjun also accepted it, and they could never go back to the past.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he actually felt guilty all the time.
He never understood what Concubine Xiao Shu died for, but from Zhan Xianjun's words, he faintly felt that it was related to him.
Until—
Ten years ago, Aunt Zhou Ming found him in Yunguo.
It turned out that he was really Concubine Xiao Shufei's child.
Back then, although Zhou Zhen was the queen, she never had children, and she was always worried that her future position was unstable. After all, for the royal family, it is the most important duty of the queen to give birth to children and inherit the royal lineage.
Just when Concubine Xiao Shufei was pregnant with her second child, Zhou Zhen was also pregnant at the same time.
The two actually gave birth on the same day.
However, perhaps it was providence, Zhou Zhen gave birth to a stillborn child, and Concubine Xiao Shu gave birth to a prince.
So, at the behest of Zhou Zhen, Mama Fan exchanged the children born to the two of them. And threatened Zhan Xianjun's life, so that Concubine Xiao Shufei swore to keep this secret forever.
The living baby became the queen's sister-in-law, and it was Zhan Xianjun.
Zhou Zhenquan leaned into the harem, Concubine Xiao Shufei had no other choice, not to mention, this child, the queen promised him a bright future, and he would definitely be the prince in the future, Concubine Xiao Shufei could only reluctantly agree for the sake of her two sons.
She has been withholding it, keeping this secret, and even in order to reassure the queen, she deliberately kept her distance in front of Zhan Xianjun.
But when Zhan Xianjun was injured that time, he accidentally leaked his emotions, and he happened to be seen by Mama Fan.
That would be enough to kill her.
Zhan Xianzhuan actually didn't know this secret all along.
He only said that because of Zhan Xianjun's intimacy with Concubine Xiao Shu, he attracted the jealousy of the queen and brought death to Concubine Xiao Shu.
Until—
Aunt Zhou Ming told him that Zhan Xianjun was really his half-brother.
No wonder, that strange intimacy as a child.
He has always hated Zhan Xianjun, but after knowing the truth, he doesn't know whether to continue to hate him or pity him.
After all, he has enjoyed ten years of maternal love, and he, from the moment he was born, has been regarded as a pawn to stabilize Zhou Zhen's power.
He remembered Zhan Xianjun huddled in Concubine Xiao Shu's arms, and said timidly that he wanted to be Concubine Xiao Shufei's child, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Just when the two were still immersed in their memories, the door opened with a "squeak~". Xingrou stretched her waist and walked out, seeing the solemn faces of the two, she looked at Zhan Xianjun and then at Jiuwang, and asked, "What happened?" ”
