When the queen mother heard this, she didn't ask.

She fell silent, as if she didn't want to talk about the events of the past, and seemed to be thinking about the past.

When Xiao Yan thought she wouldn't speak, she spoke.

"Twenty-three years ago, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, we were all young. That year, there were many palace banquets. But if you want to say that something big has happened, it should be the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival. This matter concerns Your Majesty, and I shouldn't have said much about it, but since you asked, I naturally want to tell you. ”

The queen mother said, paused, and then continued to speak: "That night, Your Majesty was drunk and accidentally pampered the palace maid beside Concubine Ji. Concubine Ji made a big fuss about this and wanted to execute the palace maid. The palace maid was originally brought into the palace by Concubine Ji from the Ji family, and no one could say anything. Later, His Majesty asked the Queen Mother, who was still alive at the time, to protect the palace maid. ”

The queen continued: "I didn't expect that the palace maid would find out that she was pregnant so quickly. After that incident, His Majesty often went to Concubine Ji's place, and after a while, Concubine Ji was also rumored to be pregnant. The two gave birth to children one after another, but they left due to physical deficit and died when the child was very young. ”

When Xiao Yan heard this, she asked, "So, that palace maid is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Prince?" Concubine Ji is the biological mother of Princess Qianlian? ”

The queen mother nodded: "At that time, the imperial doctor said that I was losing my body, and I was afraid that the heir would be difficult. That's why Your Majesty asked me to keep the two of them under my name. ”

Xiao Yan heard this and nodded slightly.

She thought for a while before continuing to ask: "His Royal Highness the Prince's biological mother, was she brought into the palace when Concubine Ji entered the palace?" ”

When the queen asked, she shook her head: "Not really." That palace maid shouldn't have been in the palace for too long. At that time, Concubine Ji was unwell and had been sick for a long time. Therefore, Concubine Ji's maternal grandfather's family sent a maid into the palace to take care of Concubine Ji. Although the Ji family was not a famous family at that time, Concubine Ji's maternal grandfather's family was considered a high-ranking family. It makes sense for them to send a maid into the palace to take care of their granddaughter. ”

Remember https://m in a second.

Xiao Yan pursed her lips and thought about it, this point is right with Mama Zhang.

What Mama Zhang said was that the son of the Ji family fell in love with the girl of the Cui family at first sight and made a private engagement for life.

However, the Ji family did not approve of their Ji family's son-in-law marrying a woman of unknown origin, so they designed to send the Cui family girl to the palace as a palace maid.

In order to break the obsession of the Ji family with Miss Cui, the Ji family even designed His Majesty.

It was precisely under their design that His Majesty would pamper that Miss Cui when he was drunk.

It's just that at that time, what everyone didn't expect was that Miss Cui was pregnant before she entered the palace.

She is pregnant with Ji Gongzi's blood and bones.

After Miss Cui was favored by the emperor, she was found to be pregnant again.

Everyone thought she was pregnant with the emperor's child. Only the young man Cui and Miss Cui themselves know that this child has nothing to do with the emperor.

Because of this, Miss Cui has been worried, scared, painful and sad, so she passed away shortly after giving birth to her child.

That Ji Gongzi heard that Miss Cui was dead and chose to be martyred.

Before he died, he told the Ji family that Miss Cui was pregnant before she was sent to the palace.

It stands to reason that after the Ji family knows about this matter, they should clean up all the insiders and rot this matter in their stomachs.

But according to her observations, Li Xingchen and Li Qianlian both knew about it.

Why did the Ji family let these two people know about this, she didn't know.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was silent, the queen seemed to be thinking about the problem, and continued to ask, "That's probably all I know." Do you have any more questions? ”

Xiao Yan heard this, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the queen for answering the minister's questions, the minister has no other questions at present." ”

From the queen, she may be able to see whether what Mama Zhang said is true or false through comparison.

But if you want to get evidence, I'm afraid you can't.

After all, the queen doesn't know the truth behind this.

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, the queen couldn't help but smile: "You, you're just too polite to me." If you have any questions, just ask me again. Whatever you're investigating, let me know if you need help! ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xiao Yan said with a smile, "Regarding the things of the year, I still want to ask other people, maybe I really need the help of the queen." ”

Xiao Yan knew that the queen mother was too good to say anything to her, so she dared to say these words directly.

You must know that when the queen mother faces other people, she generally calls herself "Bengong", but when she faces her, she calls herself "I".

If this is the case, she still doesn't understand how good the queen mother is to her, she is too ignorant.

The queen mother listened and asked, "Who are you looking for to ask about these things?" ”

Xiao Yan's face was solemn, and she said, "I want to find the people who served Concubine Ji at that time and confirm some things with them." It's just that after so much time, I don't know if I can still find those people. ”

Xiao Yan felt that the people in the palace were less likely to be wiped out, and they might be able to survive until now.

The problem is that ordinary palace maids, when they reach a certain age, will be released from the palace.

Once these people leave the palace, it may not be easy to find them.

The queen thought for a while and said, "The personnel exchanges in the palace are all recorded in detail. Let Qinghe take you to check the records and find the records of the people who served Concubine Ji at that time. After that, find their whereabouts, if they are still alive, it should not be difficult to find them! ”

After the queen finished speaking, she said to Qinghe: "Qinghe, you can take Commander Xiao to find the record now." ”

Qinghe heard this and hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Yan hurriedly stood up, saluted the queen and thanked her, and then followed Qinghe out.

The queen saw them walk to the door, and suddenly stopped Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan turned her head and waited for the queen's orders.

But I heard the queen say: "You will remember to go back here and eat with Yue'er and Xiao Jiu." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay." ”

-

After Xiao Yan found the whereabouts of the palace people who served Concubine Ji through the records, she found that those palace people had basically left the palace.

Luckily, there is a record of where they were going after leaving the palace.

Xiao Yan quickly spread the news and asked Tianwuwei to find someone, and she returned to the queen's side and accompanied the queen to dinner.

After eating, she left the palace directly.

When she came to the palace gate and saw Qiu Langya coming over, Xiao Yan asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Qiu Langya's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "The people that Sister Yan ordered to find are all dead. It seems that someone is ahead of us and has killed them! ”
