Chapter Eighty-Four: I'm Willing to Give It a Try

He Changan listened to Lu Cheng's previous story, and already felt in his heart that Concubine Tian had enough motives to kill Queen Herui, after all, Concubine Tian's pregnancy was one step later than Queen Herui, and it was very likely that the saint was very likely to ignore the first child she had obtained after years of hard work because she loved Lin'er born in the Middle Palace, but he didn't expect that Lu Cheng said that it was not Concubine Tian who did all this.

"It's not Concubine Tian, who is that?"

"The death of the queen mother, it seems that the most benefited are Concubine Tian and her child who was born later than her eldest sister, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it is the one from Jinse Palace, but what she didn't expect is that she worked so hard to plan so much, and in the end, half of it was for her to make wedding dresses. ”

The ...... of the Jinse Palace Isn't it Concubine Qing's Li family? He Changan opened his mouth again, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing Lu Cheng nodded, and continued to listen to him, He Changan understood that Hua Nan's father was a good gambler, and he lost all the valuable things in the whole family, Hua Nan's mother only had one daughter, Hua Nan's mother, in order not to starve the mother and daughter to death, it is worth giving full play to their only ability, and each family goes to work as a midwife, so that they usually live in the home of a wealthy businessman, and it is rare to meet Hua Nan's father, so as to avoid the doom of being beaten by her husband and endless oppression. The day before Queen Herui's accident, Hua Nan's father, who was already in debt and had no way out, suddenly paid off all his gambling debts, and the silver ticket used to repay the gambling debts was the ticket number of the money bank in the name of the Zhu family.

So all the clues pointed to the midwife, but Lu Cheng later asked the doctor, long before the midwife came to the delivery room, he felt that the smell in the room was wrong, but it was not obvious musk or the like, so it could only be a suspicion hidden in his heart, and later Hua Nanniang confessed again, and he suppressed the suspicion in his heart until Lu Cheng came to ask.

So the confusion of the whole thing is here, Hua Nanniang took Hua Nan to hide, and it was too late to hide from Hua Nan's father, how could she be bought by the Zhu family's huge silver ticket to repay Hua Nan's father's debts? Not to mention that if the Tian Concubine Zhu really wanted to harm people, why bother to use the silver ticket with her own ticket number and name? Coupled with the imperial doctor's statement, Lu Cheng finally understood that the Zhu family was just letting others calculate, and the one who could benefit from it was Concubine Qing of Jinse Palace.

At that time, Concubine Qing had already given birth to a son Lu Yuan, although he was not a son-in-law, but he was the eldest son, and the two biggest threats to the mother and son were the middle palace and the sister-in-law Lu Cheng, if Queen Herui died, Concubine Tian was just pregnant, and Concubine Wen had never been pregnant in the palace for six years, and the most likely to ascend to the throne was Concubine Qing, so that Lu Yuan became the eldest son, compared to Lu Cheng, who lost his biological mother, the status was simply high. As for Concubine Tian, if she gives birth to a son, it will also be a threat, so she will simply take precautions and blame Concubine Tian, regardless of whether Concubine Tian can die in the end, because the piece of meat in her belly has caused the middle palace to die unjustly, will the saint still value that child? It is really killing two birds with one stone. It's just that what I didn't expect was that the saint set up Concubine Wen, who had never given birth to a child, as the queen.

"And in the end, I was confirmed that this matter was done by the Jinse Palace, and that many years later, there was a time when the ticket number was broken into by thieves, and they robbed almost all the silver ticket books or something, and when they were chasing these thieves, these account books fell into the hands of my cousin, who was still a servant of the Criminal Department at the time. The account book clearly wrote what year, month, and day, and someone deposited a huge amount of silver taels on the ticket number, and raised it on the same day, and that day was the day before the birthday of the eldest princess, and the person who saved money and withdrew money happened to be Lu Yuan's cousin. ”

Lu Cheng's cousin, it should be said that it is his uncle Liang Guogong, right? It turns out that the Bai family has always been secretly helping Lu Cheng, no matter whether Lu Cheng is honored or disgraced, this is the constant blood relationship. He Changan thought in his heart, this should be the sky has eyes, so that the sins committed by one cousin were discovered by another cousin.

"Why didn't the saint choose Chen Niangniang instead of Concubine Liqing......? Chen Niangniang has nothing to do?" He Changan has always been puzzled about this matter, from the previous life to the present.

Looking at the question in He Changan's eyes, Lu Cheng really wanted to go up and pinch her face, but he still held back: "It is said that the one in Jinse Palace also went to find his father and asked this question, but his father only replied, he didn't want to repeat the mistake of Emperor Xuan of Han." I have to say that my father is indeed a generation of emperors. ”

This allusion He Chang'an still knows, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty has a total of three queens in his life, the first queen is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty when he was reckless and destitute to marry a bad wife Xu, after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty became the emperor, the minister Huo Guang has been coercing Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to set up his daughter Huo as the queen, but Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty still established the Xu family on the grounds of "deep love for the sword", and the Huo family is Jieyu. After Xu's dystocia died, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty made Huo the queen, but it is a pity that the Huo family wanted to let the son born to Queen Xu die, and the child's life was endangered several times. Fortunately, Huo Guang couldn't hold back and took the road of rebellion, and Emperor Xuan of Han was able to get rid of Empress Huo. In the choice of the third queen, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty finally chose the queen who had nothing to do, and the queen had no children, so she didn't have so much selfishness, and the prince born to Queen Xu was able to grow up safely.

It's a pity that after finding out, Lu Cheng couldn't make his true intentions public, because once he made it public, the first one was to sweep the queen mother's face, and the second was to let the harem have no more peaceful days, he swallowed this breath silently, knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood. As compensation, he brought the midwife's daughter, who had been reduced to a slave, into the palace and made her a maid in the East Palace.

It's Hua Nan.

Lu Cheng sighed, with an expression of infinite remorse on his face: "At that time, I knew that the queen mother died in childbirth, and from then on I was going to become a prince without a biological mother, and I was also very sad and angry in my heart. But at that time, I was blinded by hatred, and I refused to believe her, causing her to almost have a miscarriage. Later, my father completely disliked Concubine Tian, and he didn't take my intentions into account...... It can be said that I don't kill Concubine Tian, but Concubine Tian can be regarded as dying because of me. At the midwife's mother, I can also use Hua Nan to compensate for his unsuccessful death, but the second sister, she has raised the hands of the palace people since she was a child, and she can see her father once or twice a year, but I can't care about her. ”

He Changan understood the pain in his heart, after all, everyone thought that he knew that the person who had a common hatred with him for killing his mother was Concubine Tian, and although the second princess was a sister, she was also the daughter of the enemy, and if he wanted to care about the second princess, then he must know something, which was equivalent to showing his feet.

He Changan came closer and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself too much, after all, you can't blame Your Highness about this matter." It's just that His Royal Highness deliberately gave up the position of the crown prince, is it just to let His Highness relax his vigilance?"

Lu Cheng smiled gloomily: "Although my father is a generation of Ming Monarch Holy Lord, there has always been a shadow in my father's heart that cannot be removed, that is, he is a concubine, and Emperor Pingyi's concubine died early, and he didn't even dare to make a big deal for Emperor Pingyi's concubine, because he became the queen mother's heir for the throne." So in the choice of the heir, he decided that I would be the crown prince early, just because I was the only concubine of Queen Herui. ”

He Changan nodded, this is natural, the saint naturally doesn't want his successor to be another concubine, Daxuan still likes the difference between concubines and concubines.

There was a hint of forbearance in Lu Cheng's eyes: "But in my opinion, even if I can finally sit on that chair in the future, I don't want it just because I am a sister-in-law, and the other brothers are all concubines." I hope that my father really thinks that my ability is enough to bear the trust of the country, so I can become the prince. If it is only because of my identity that I am the prince, then any concubine who gave birth to a prince in the Ming Dynasty became a queen, or the queen really gave birth to her own son-in-law, then I would probably lose that position. ”

"So His Royal Highness took advantage of Ye Hibiscus's incident to give up the temporary position of the crown prince, on the one hand, to let His Highness relax his vigilance, and on the other hand, to imagine the Holy Lord to prove his true strength?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "Yes, I am different from him, what he wants is to fight for that position by unscrupulous means, and what I think about is how to shoulder that position and be worthy of the people of the world." This burden is too heavy, and it is definitely not something that a person who relies on women to do things can bear. ”

Relying on women to make things happen...... He Changan's eyes darkened, wasn't she the woman Lu Yuan used to succeed in her previous life? Including the eldest daughter of the Chengwu Hou family who had been removed from the genealogy, and even the quasi-eldest princess He Ping'an, who had been given marriage, thinking of this, He Changan suddenly felt that He Ping'an, who was showing off his might everywhere every day as a quasi-princess, was so pitiful and pathetic.

Seeing He Changan's suddenly dim eyes, Lu Cheng felt a pain in his heart: "Maybe I said too much tonight, although I am not a person who uses women to achieve things, but such a bottomless whirlpool of the royal family must make you afraid, right? Originally, I didn't think much of me if I could get your heart, but who knows, it was me who pushed you farther and farther with my own hands." It's okay to push you a little farther away, at least when I meet him in the future, I don't have to worry that you and Gong Changbofu will be implicated by me. ”

Looking at Lu Cheng, who looked a little depressed, He Changan suddenly smiled: "What kind of joke is Your Highness talking about? My brother is His Highness's right-hand man who almost never leaves his body, and my maternal ancestor Bai Jia is a loyal supporter behind His Highness, if His Highness really has such a day, how can I, He Changan, not be implicated in any way?"

Lu Cheng was a little surprised that He Changan would say this, but he didn't understand what she meant by saying this.

"Chang'an is young, and he may not know what it is, but he can understand His Highness's good intentions. And Chang'an is not the kind of person who can only stay in the boudoir and let others protect him, Chang'an doesn't know if he can afford it, but ...... Willing to give it a try. ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran away without looking back, leaving Lu Cheng alone in the room in a daze, and then a hearty laugh came from the room
