"Twins!" At this point, Wei Nong finally understood what Queen Jiang was going to say. But this is a great event, how can you say to the outside world that Chu Li and Chu Heng are more than a year apart?

It was slightly difficult to hide his surprise, and he couldn't help but glance at Ji Fengzhi. She opened her mouth, wanting to interject, but thinking of Queen Jiang's mood at the moment, she decided to be a listener.

Queen Jiang looked at her expression from beginning to end, and finally showed a hint of approval, and then she continued quietly: "At that time, my father had just ascended the throne, and my mother was pregnant with twin sons, which was a good omen in the palace. The father was afraid that the queen mother would have another miscarriage, so he did a lot of things in the palace, but it didn't take long for the two imperial doctors who protected the mother to protect the fetus to be convicted one after another, saying that the diagnosis was wrong, and it was true that the queen mother was pregnant, but it was not twins. ”

"The people in the palace knew that it was an oolong, and no one dared to mention the word 'double' again. Fortunately, the queen mother gave birth to a baby boy, and the father immediately made him the crown prince. It's Fuxi. When Queen Jiang said this, she seemed to be brewing emotions, and suddenly stopped.

Fuxi is Chu Li's table word. Men in ordinary families are generally given the words by their elders when they have a weak crown, but the royal family usually has a name earlier, when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, or they are engaged, they will take the table characters.

It's just that...... His eyes flickered, and a thought crossed his mind.

Xu was immersed in the memories, King Jiang had a look of emotion behind him, and she didn't notice the slight abnormality at all, she paused for a long time before continuing: "There is a prince in the palace, everyone revolves around him, and I was still sent to another palace on the grounds of recuperation, and this trip is four years...... It wasn't until I returned to the palace before I was married to Xuan that I knew that the queen mother had added a younger brother. I thought that my father and queen mother had finally remembered me, but they were planning to marry me. ”

"I thought to myself, since I don't welcome people in the palace, it doesn't matter if I get married, as long as I take care of my two younger brothers, my father and queen mother will definitely say a good family business for me. So I tried my best to take care of Fuxi, but I didn't see my brother, and my father said that he was born prematurely and was infirm, and he had been sent to live for a few years, and he would not return until he was five years old. ”

When Queen Jiang said this, she looked at Wei Nong with deep meaning, and asked her with a smile: "Have you guessed it?" ”

There was a slight silence. What else is there to guess so far, Queen Jiang has said it so clearly. Back then, Empress Chu must have been pregnant with twins, but for some reason, she had to hide her eyes, and she changed her mind to only conceive Chu Li. People in the world believe in bad and not good, after all, no one will say that a good thing is a bad thing, so the palace people must believe that the imperial doctor has made a wrong diagnosis.

Immediately, Empress Chu secretly gave birth to twins and kept Chu Heng secretly, and was afraid that the young Chu Yao would find out, so she sent her to another palace under the pretext of recuperation. It wasn't until more than a year later that Empress Chu gave Chu Heng an upright identity under the pretext of getting pregnant and giving birth to a child again.

When children are young, the difference of one year is very conspicuous, and the older they are, the less easy it is to tell their age. So the king of Chu sent Chu Heng to the Taoist temple to raise him, and he didn't pick him up until he was five years old. In fact, he was already more than six years old like Chu Li at the time, but it was normal for children to grow up faster, and they could hide it from the public at the age of five. Moreover, the two brothers with the same father and mother, even if they look alike, no one will suspect that they are twins.

What makes Wei Min puzzled is that twins are obviously a more glorious thing, why should the king and queen of Chu hide it? Painstakingly plan to install another identity for Chu Heng? Thinking so, Wei Nong also asked this question.

Queen Jiang sighed when she heard this: "You asked the point...... This is also the fundamental reason why I left the state of Chu. ”

Wei Nong hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened.

"When Brother Heng returned to the palace, I couldn't help but be a little curious because I had never seen this younger brother. One day, he made an excuse and secretly went to his mother's harem to see him. He was taking a nap at the time, and I teased him to cry, and I was afraid that my mother would reprimand me, so I hid under the bed. The queen mother came to coax Brother Heng in person, and it didn't take long for the father to come, and he ordered someone to take Brother Heng out and talk to the queen mother. ”

When Queen Jiang said this, she was silent for a long time: "As they spoke, I listened under the bed, and I learned that the queen mother was indeed pregnant with twins six years ago. However, Qin Tianjian and several high-ranking people successively calculated a prediction that 'the birth of twin children will have a national disaster'. ”

It's Qin Tianjian again! Could it be that Qin Tianjian's words are really so accurate? Can you really know the unknown? Wei Nong couldn't help but murmur: "On the birthday of the twins, there will be a national disaster." ”

Her heart suffocated.

Queen Jiang also smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, my father was afraid that the prophecy would come true, so he wanted the queen mother to beat the child. But the queen mother has had two miscarriages before, and this time it is twins, and once the pregnancy is aborted, she will definitely never be able to conceive again. The two of them discussed how to avoid Qin Tianjian's prophecy, and finally came up with this method and changed Brother Heng's birthday. ”

"Isn't that self-deception?" Ji Fengzhi finally couldn't help it and interjected. If he hadn't known the end of the Chu State, he would have almost laughed at this nonsense.

"I was young at the time, and I didn't know poetry and etiquette, so I thought this method was ridiculous." Queen Jiang sighed again and agreed.

Wei Nong can understand: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, tiger poison still does not eat children, which parents are willing to kill their children?" Not to mention for a vague and unknown prophecy. ”

Queen Jiang nodded: "Yes! But this was calculated by Qin Tianjian, and it was impossible for his father to kill Jian Zheng and destroy his mouth, so he could only come up with this method to block Qin Tianjian's mouth. ”

Wei Nong didn't want to dwell more on King Chu's motives, she was more concerned about the follow-up situation, so she asked: "Then what?" ”

"And then?" Queen Jiang's eyes were calm, and her words were not shocked: "Then I knew this secret, I couldn't sleep well, and finally made a decision - I want to kill Brother Heng." ”

Wei Nong was shocked: "He's your younger brother!" ”

"I know, but I was already wild at that time, and the palace people were cold to me, and I didn't know what etiquette was." Queen Jiang lowered her eyes slightly: "I only know that I am the eldest princess of the Chu State, and I can't let the Chu State suffer." Since my father and queen mother can't do it, why don't I do it. ”

Wei Nong suddenly remembered that Nie Xingji had said that Chu Heng's left side of his face had already broken ...... She immediately asked, "...... the wound on Chu Heng's face?"

"I burned it." Queen Jiang calmly admitted: "I am a princess, I have no knife or gun in my hand, I can't do it at all, so I kicked the oil lamp on the table under the pretext of going to see him." For the sake of realism, I even pretended to be attacked and fainted in Hengdi's house. By the time the guards found out, the whole bed was already burning, and Brother Heng was sitting on the bed crying, and my grandmother and I passed out beside him. ”

Kicking the oil lamp and burning the bed...... Wei Nong felt that this plan was very familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that Nie Xingji had also used it. It was in the post station on the border of Yan Chu that she tried to kill him for the first time......

But at that time, Nie Xingji had already passed the weak crown, and these methods were naturally not a problem. How old was Chu Yao at that time? A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl can think of such a means, which is really not to be underestimated! It is no wonder that Chu Yao, a woman of different races, can sit on the throne of Queen Jiang. In particular, Jiang Guo is still so xenophobic.

Needless to say, Wei Nong can probably guess it. It must be that Chu Heng is not dead, the East Window incident happened, Queen Chu wants to avenge her son, and the King of Chu also wants to kill Chu Yao. In desperation, she had no choice but to flee from the state of Chu, seek the protection of King Jiang, and finally became King Jiang.

This is the reason why the eldest princess of Chu broke with the king of Chu, and it involved such a secret affair in the palace. No wonder when she was the crown princess of Chu for three years, everyone kept Chu Yao secretive, and Chu Heng also left the palace early, and rarely appeared in the palace.

Did Chu Li know these inside information? If he knew, what did he think in his heart?

And at this moment, Queen Jiang's calm mood was finally broken, just like a thin mark suddenly cracked on the white glazed porcelain surface, and then gradually expanded, and finally shattered her bones: "When my father sent someone to hunt me down, I only knew my life experience." Is it because I am a woman and my biological mother is lowly that I deserve to be inferior? What about Chu Heng? He is a prince, he is born to a queen, and he can be in trouble? Even if it endangers the country, his father is not willing to give up on him? ”

was chased and killed by his biological father, and changed from a princess who enjoyed wealth and wealth to an abandoned daughter who fled alone, and he could understand Chu Yao's mood at that time. But on the matter of patriarchy and noble birth, she really has nothing to say and no position.

A palace secret involves the foundation of the country, whoever is the king of Chu will probably choose to sacrifice the daughter of the concubine and keep the son of the concubine! That's the ridiculous fate!

But obviously, Queen Jiang couldn't let go, and laughed earnestly, and her tactful and beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce color: "Do you know? From the moment I left the Chu Kingdom, I swore that I would get rid of this lowly origin, and I would watch them suffer retribution, and see when that prophecy would come true! ”

The birth of twin children will have a national disaster.

More than ten years later, the crown prince Chu Li was close to the age of a weak crown and proposed to marry Yan Guo. The king of Chu didn't want to agree, but remembering the prophecy, he reluctantly agreed to the marriage strategy, so as to leave a way back for himself. So, the throne of the crown princess of Chu gave her a woman from the Yan Kingdom, even if she was only an illegitimate daughter, even if she had not had a round house with Chu Li for a long time, the king of Chu also gave the greatest tolerance.

Wei Nong now knows that even if there was no recommendation from Nie Xingji, the person Chu Li wanted to marry was her. But if she hadn't married, wouldn't everything have happened? Nie Xingji won't be the main battle, please Ying? Maybe Chu Li won't die, and Chu State won't die? But this happened to be Chu Li's choice, and then she got married, and then Nie Xingji attacked......

And Chu Yao stood at the top of Jiang Country, watching all this happen, standing by and watching.

The birth of twin children will have a national disaster.

In the dark, there seems to be an invisible hand that implicates all people or things together, making an unsolvable situation. Interlocking, life and death are linked.

"If it weren't for the fact that Fuxi helped me when I was on the run, I would really be watching to the end." Chu Yao spit out another sentence.

(First of all, I'm not promoting metaphysics or fatalism in this article.) It's just that ancient times believed in this very much, especially the emperor's family. Please don't think that Qin Tianjian has appeared too many times, and it is just a small plot to share it among the four countries. And not every prophecy is accurate, and by the time it comes to the finale, there will be an extremely ironic foreshadowing to uncover the truth or falsity of some of the prophecies.

I conceived this plot with the intention of satirizing the two kings of Chu, telling everyone that the fall of the state of Chu has a lot to do with the style of the king of Chu. Therefore, even if Chu Li is amazingly talented, he is powerless to change his father's decision, after all, his personal strength is limited, and he can't save the decline of Sheji. And Chu Yao's departure could have been avoided, Chu Heng could have participated in political affairs openly, with the ability of Chu Yao's sisters and brothers, as long as they worked together, they could have been able to have a good relationship with Yan Guo.

So my personal opinion is: metaphysics is only for reference, and if you calculate a good result, you will increase your confidence and encourage yourself to work harder in a good direction; But if you calculate a bad result, do your best to avoid improving it. Learning to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is more meaningful than simply accepting fate. ）
