Zhen Guogong's expression was a little complicated.

He was indeed dissatisfied with the fact that Concubine Xu Xian was the second marriage of a married woman, and he didn't understand why the Queen Mother would allow such a woman to become the emperor's concubine, but after listening to the narration of Su Fang, a member of the old palace, he could already fully understand that there were some things that he couldn't choose. No matter how bad Concubine Xu Xian is, she is also her own person trusted by the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince, and she is better than an outsider who doesn't know the details. Besides, the holy will is like this, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu Xian can't refuse.

Concubine Xu Xian is a married woman who entered the palace, which is indeed a pity, but she had reconciled with her ex-husband before she became a concubine, and her ex-husband had already stopped remarrying, and there was no scandal of the monarch snatching the wife, so it didn't seem so difficult to accept. Zhen Guogong thinks that as a subordinate, he has no reason to blame the king, at most, he just thinks that the biological mother of the eighth prince has this shortcoming, and he is afraid that he will be picked on by the courtiers and attacked by the Sun family. The matter of the eighth prince establishing the prince will also be even more unsmooth. Therefore, the emperor still tried not to let people know about Concubine Xu Xian's background.

Zhenguo Gong thought that the emperor chose such a biological mother for the emperor's heir, although he had his considerations, but it was too capricious. But Concubine Xu Xian jumped from the prince's nurse to the palace concubine, and it is even very likely to become the mother of the new monarch, the queen mother of a country, she is simply burned high incense in her last life, and she is extremely lucky. Su Fang actually thought that Concubine Xu Xian had been greatly wronged? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?!

Su Fang, an old palace person, thinks that she is not exaggerating at all: "Xu Niangniang has been looking forward to leaving the palace to reunite with her husband and son in the palace for many years. She didn't know about her ex-husband's marriage, and thought that her husband's family was just taking concubines for Jin Juren at most. The Queen Mother originally promised that when Her Royal Highness Seventh left the palace safely, when she arrived at the Chengenhou Mansion, someone would take care of her, and she would let Xu Niangniang go back to her hometown. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Seventh failed to leave the palace, and the emperor fell ill at this time, and the Queen Mother had to inform the emperor of the matter of the Seventh Highness.

Xu Niangniang carefully served the sick, hoping that after the emperor recovered, he could return to his original identity and be canonized as the prince, but who knew that because of this, the emperor took a fancy to her and asked her to be a concubine. Xu Niangniang originally refused, but the emperor sent someone to find Jin Juren, and inquired about the news that Jin Juren married another person, and that his stepwife treated the eldest son of the original match, and asked Jin Juren to write a letter of reconciliation. Xu Niangniang was heartbroken, but she was worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to her eldest son, and she was even more reluctant to suffer from the Seventh Highness, so she could only be invited by the Queen Mother and the Emperor to become the emperor's concubine......"

When the eighth prince was born, Concubine Xu Xian had no possibility of reuniting with her eldest son. The emperor promised to take care of her son, but she was not allowed to reveal her identity as a second marriage, and also made up the illusion that she was the sister of Jin Juren's original wife, and asked her to be commensurate with her own son as an aunt and nephew, and not to recognize each other for life......

The old palace people told Zhen Guogong and his wife: "Before the grandfather sent a secret letter to Beijing, the emperor had already sent someone to Xu Niangniang's hometown of Zunhua Prefecture, and took advantage of the change of Zhizhou to change the records of the people's household registration documents, added a daughter to the Xu family, and recorded that the girl was lost when she was young. If it weren't for Xu Niangniang's insistence, I was afraid that the emperor would directly change her background, so that she would even change her parents and ancestors. Rao is like this, and she and her parents will never recognize each other for life. In the future, if Jin Jiashu succeeds in the imperial examination and enters Beijing to take the exam, the mother and son may have a day to meet, but they can only get along as ordinary relatives. ”

Zhen Guogong frowned when he heard this: "This is what the emperor meant?" ”

The old palace man nodded: "This is the emperor's secret decree." Xu Niangniang once begged the emperor for mercy, but the emperor did not allow it. His Royal Highness the Eighth has not been able to establish a prince for a long time, and the emperor is anxious. If people know Xu Niangniang's background again, I am afraid that the courtiers will be even more picky. At this juncture, the emperor will never allow any delay. The Queen Mother persuaded Xu Niangniang to want to open more, and Xu Niangniang could only suffer these grievances. ”

Zhen Guogong couldn't help but shake his head again and again. If this is all the emperor's insistence, it is indeed a bit excessive. He himself picked Concubine Xu Xian, a married woman, and forced others to be his concubine, but now he dislikes her for being a second marriage, afraid that the foreign ministers will know that it will affect the eighth prince to establish a prince, so why did he force others to nod in the first place?

If Concubine Xu Xian didn't want to be a palace concubine, then she would really be a disaster all the way. First, she was forced by her husband's family and husband to leave her infant son to enter the palace as a nursing mother, and suddenly suffered a palace change, so she could only flee into Cining Palace with the newborn Seventh Prince. She became a palace person incognito, separated from her husband and son, and finally had the opportunity to leave the palace a few years later, and was favored by the emperor again. She refused to be a concubine, so the emperor sent someone to find her ex-husband to ask for a divorce, and the gold she rewarded was somewhat of a buyer, and her son was even more likely to become a hostage under the emperor's control. In desperation, she agreed to become a palace concubine, but after giving birth to the eighth prince, the emperor even had to fake her origin and forbid her to recognize her biological son......

The emperor is very harsh and unkind to the son of the seventh prince, and for the biological mother of the eighth prince, Xu Xianfei, how can he not take it by force, and it is not the act of Renjun? !

Zhen Guogong only felt that there were countless words that he wanted to complain, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them.

That's it, although he can't get used to it, there is no need to say that the emperor is not in front of people in the palace. Although Su Fang is the son of the Zhenguo Mansion, after all, she has been in the palace for many years and is no longer the maid of the Zhou family. Why did he say something disturbing, so that the third sister, the Empress Dowager Zhou, knew about it, and she also worried about it?

He just asked Su Fang: "The emperor and the queen mother have been hiding these things from me, but in fact, they don't say it or worry about it." Since I have decided to support His Royal Highness, no matter what the identity of His Royal Highness's biological mother is, I will not change my mind. Besides, the little brother of the Jin family has never revealed these inside information-maybe he himself doesn't know the inside story, and when he gets along with us on weekdays, he never shows the slightest tone. Why did the Queen Mother send you to spread the word and let us husband and wife know all this? Let the emperor know, but I'm afraid that I have to be careful. ”

The emperor has always been very cautious.

Su Fang bowed her head respectfully and said: "The Queen Mother has long wanted to inform Grandpa Guo of the inside story, but the capital and Chang'an are separated by more than 2,000 miles, whether it is writing a letter or sending someone to spread the word, there is a risk of leaking the news." Even in the Chengenhou Mansion, only a few people know about the existence of the Seventh Highness and the life experience of Xu Niangniang. Most people thought that Xu Niangniang was sent to the palace by Mrs. Chengenhou shortly before the accident of His Royal Highness Liu. The Queen Mother was so careful, if she could not ensure that the messenger was credible, how could she dare to act rashly?

And when the Queen Mother sent a handwritten letter, when Grandpa Tuoguo took care of the Jin family, she had concealed the past marriage between Jin Juren and Xu Niangniang, and she was very uneasy. At present, the emperor has decided to reveal the identity of the Seventh Highness to the courtiers. The Queen Mother said that instead of letting Grandpa Guo hear the news from others and knowing that she had deceived her brother and left a knot, it was better to send a credible henchman to Chang'an and explain the matter to Grandpa Guo in person. ”

Zhen Guogong just sighed, and then sat up straight again: "What do you mean?" Didn't you say that the emperor didn't plan to let the world know about the existence of the Seventh Highness? Why have you changed your mind now?! ”

The old palace man lowered his head: "The emperor is sick again this spring...... Sun Ge Lao mentioned that the storage position was vacant in the court again, and begged the emperor to order the prince of Ji to return to the sect. His Royal Highness was still young, and the courtiers were worried that the young lord would come to the court and be prone to accidents, so they all agreed with Sun Ge Lao's proposal. The emperor didn't want to agree, so he planned to push out His Highness the Seventh and plug the cabinet's mouth. His Royal Highness the Seventh is a descendant of the Middle Palace, he will be fourteen years old, and he is also smart, with him, why do you need to recall the prince who succeeded him, so that the emperor will lose his trust in the clan? ”

Zhen Guogong couldn't help but frown again: "But isn't His Royal Highness the Seventh weak since childhood?" Even if he becomes a prince, how many years can he last? ”

The old palace man sighed.

The Seven Princes can last for a few years, as long as they can give the Eighth Prince a little more time to grow up, and they can block the road of King Ji's return to the sect. As for whether he will die in the storage position, it does not matter.

The emperor has always been so ruthless to his son-in-law.
