Zhou Jin's words made Xie Yangui purse his lips slightly and did not answer.

Zhou Jin didn't care about her silence at the moment, and continued to speak, "I said before that as long as you want to know about me, you can ask me."

"Your body is still recovering, and you shouldn't let these things make you uncomfortable."

Zhou Jin said, his gaze left Xie Yangui's lips, moved upward, and looked at her.

"This jade pendant was left to me by my mother, and the words engraved on it are the names she gave me."

Reaching out and tearing off the jade pendant on Xie Yangui's waist, Zhou Jin rubbed the small words on it and brought it to his eyes.

After lowering his eyes and reading it, he presented the small character in front of Xie Yangui so that she could see it clearly.

"My mother, Chang, died because she gave birth to me, so I have never seen her, and this jade pendant with the engraved words was prepared by her a long time ago, and I don't know why she took this character."

"You have sent someone to check on me before, and you have also checked the first prince, you should know some things, and because of all these, very few people will mention the first prince's side concubine Chang in front of me."

"Even the people close to me, even the only remaining Chang clan members, have never talked about it, I only occasionally get a word from Niangniang. c

Xie Yangui's gaze left the small characters, she took the jade pendant, habitually rubbing it in her hand, her eyes still looking at Zhou Jin.

What he said just now is tantamount to admitting his true identity, he is indeed born to the former prince's side concubine Chang Shi, that is, the widow of the first prince.

But why...... Will he enter the palace and become the seventh prince of His Majesty today? The original Zhou Jin...... Where did it go?

Although she was puzzled, Xie Yangui didn't ask, because she knew that Zhou Jin would tell her slowly.

"Even I don't know exactly what happened back then, but I know more than anyone else."

"My real father, the former prince, was not a sudden illness, but a year of exposure to poisonous substances without knowing it, which eventually led to poison."

"That poison was handed down from the previous dynasty, colorless and tasteless, so naturally it is impossible to predict, and when it is discovered, it is already a medicine stone."

"Although my mother was born in the Chang clan and is a famous lady, in fact, she is not very proficient in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of those ladies, but has a good medical skill, but unfortunately, she found out too late."

"At that time, she knew that she was pregnant, and she originally wanted to tell the first emperor, but all kinds of things happened in the East Palace, which made her realize that there was a problem, so she thought of making herself "sick"."

"As a concubine of the East Palace, she suddenly fell ill and may be extraordinary, for the sake of the prince, my mother was sent out of the East Palace to Zhuangzi to recuperate, and she relied on her medical skills to misdiagnose her illness by the imperial doctor."

"Later, news came from the East Palace that the first prince was seriously ill, my mother was already a month old at the time, and she had been wearing a wide robe and wrapping her abdomen with gauze, but in the long run, there would always be a time to show her stuff, so she chose to fake her death."

"She knows that because of the medication, it will cause me to be different from ordinary children, but after all, I am the only remaining bloodline in the East Palace, so for me, she made a lot of arrangements before faking her death."

"I stayed in her womb for a long time, much longer than a normal child, and because of this, she died in childbirth, and after I was born, I was secretly cared for by the only remaining Chang clan under the arrangement of my mother's friend."

Hearing Zhou Jin say this, Xie Yangui thought of Chang Xiu and Chang Yu brothers, she moved her body, carried the teapot on the small table, poured him a glass of water, and brought it to her lips.

With Xie Yangui's hand, Zhou Jin took a sip of water and continued.

"With the situation at that time, it was not easy for me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, because at that time, most of the people who served in the East Palace, or who were good friends with the East Palace, had all kinds of seemingly reasonable accidents."

"So, the people who took care of me came up with a way, "Tanuki for the Prince."

"In the harem, in line with this possibility, there were two princes at that time, one was the eighth prince who was about the same age as me, and the other was the other

The other is the Seventh Prince, who is older than me, but born prematurely and weak."

"The backgrounds of these two are not very high, especially the Seventh Prince Zhou Jin, plus he is nearly three years older than me, even if he is not taken seriously and rarely appears, the gap is slightly larger, so they chose the Eighth Prince."

"I didn't think that before the plan was implemented, the Eighth Prince died, and if they wanted to achieve it, they could only choose the Seven Princes, so they managed to find medicine for me to take to promote my growth."

"Those medicines are really bitter." Zhou Jin chuckled, even after many years, his memory is still fresh.

Xie Yangui couldn't help but think of his body, he used to think that his weakness was due to premature birth, but now it seems to be because of those medicines.

The bitterness he said had two meanings.

One is that the drug itself is bitter, especially for a young child, and the other is that it refers to the pain after taking the drug.

He is younger than the real Seventh Prince Zhou Jin, even if he is only two or three years old, there is a difference.

Therefore, the drugs he takes will promote his growth, and that kind of pain, not to mention children, is difficult for adults to bear.

No wonder his body is so bad......

Thinking of this, Xie Yangui frowned, and suddenly hugged Zhou Jin, his voice was a little muffled, "I don't want to know anymore."

"It's all gone." Zhou Jin wrapped his arms around her, stroked her long hair, and smiled to comfort her.

"Does my aunt know about this?" Since there is no aunt, there is no Zhou Jin's birth, so it is obvious that the friend of the side concubine Chang is Xie Yangui's aunt Xie Xi.

Over the years, Xie Yangui has grown up under the blessing of Xie Ji, even if Zhou Jin is different from her, he is not a blood relative, but in the end, he is a friend Tuogu, and she can't watch him suffer like this.

"This matter, the concubine Niangniang only learned about it later, at that time, the Chang family had been using the medicine for me for a long time, and I couldn't stop it, so the Niangniang was angry and almost broke with the Chang family."

"But for me, she still cooperated with the Chang family to make various arrangements, and after the original Seventh Prince Zhou Jin died of illness, I quietly replaced him."

"Actually, I've seen you in the palace a few times, once when I just entered the palace, even though the medicine pushed me to that age, but the heart can't be boosted by medicine, I was accidentally trapped, it was you who saved me."

At that time, Xie Yangui was not very old, because the Xie family died on the battlefield, so His Majesty granted permission to let Xie Yan raise her in the palace.

"I...... I don't remember this, so what about after that?" Xie Yan straightened up and looked at him in surprise.

"After that...... They were afraid that I would show my stuff, so they forbade me to go out again, and kept me in that courtyard, and could not go out unless I had to."

Zhou Jin said it lightly, but Xie Yangui could imagine how cruel and harsh this was for a child.

She really didn't want to hear it anymore.
