Old Mrs. Zhang said, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince was not born in the palace."

"What?"

I was shocked. A prince was not born in the palace? This was really incredible, but I immediately thought that if there were some accidents, there would be no tragedy in Zhao Shuyuan's child being replaced, and there would be no such thing as the world's tragedy.

I asked hurriedly, "What the hell is going on?"

Old Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "I remember that at that time, Zhao Shuyuan's child was actually not yet full-term, but she usually stayed with the Virtue - at that time, she was already the queen and served by the queen. After all, she was the queen's person, and it was common for the two to get close. However, that time, the queen suddenly proposed to go to a temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings, so that Zhao Shuyuan would accompany her."

“…”

"Although the child is not full-term, it is always inconvenient to go in and out with a big belly. Lao Shi remembers that at that time, Zhao Shuyuan actually didn't want to go, but after all, it was the queen's order, and she was honest and dared not disobey at all, so she followed the queen out of the palace."

"……Then what?"

"Then? It was originally agreed to go that day and go back that day, but after the hour of You that day, they were not seeing the carriage that returned to the palace. The Supreme Emperor seemed to have been busy with political affairs and had not asked about it. But when it was dark, he felt something was wrong, so he sent someone to urge him. Only then did he realize that Empress Shuyuan had suddenly given birth in the temple."

"ah?!"

My heart leaped.

It turned out that under this situation, Zhao Shuyuan gave birth to her own child, the fourth prince who belonged to the royal family.

Now that I think about it, this matter should be designed by Empress Yin from beginning to end. Even Old Mrs. Zhang felt strange. Other concubines in the palace always had three disasters and eight difficulties to get pregnant. Only Zhao Shuyuan was particularly smooth. She said that she was protected by the Empress, but in fact, it was indeed a blessing. Empress Yin was waiting for the birth of the child and was waiting for her to seize Zhao Shuyuan's handle. How could something happen to the child?

She proposed to go to a temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings and took Zhao Shuyuan with her. The purpose was even more obvious. After all, it was risky to change a concubine's child in the palace, but in temples in the suburbs, the guards were not as strict as those in the palace. As long as the arrangements were made in advance, this matter would not be difficult to do.

As for Zhao Shuyuan giving birth before term, of course she couldn't wait for Zhao Shuyuan to give birth. When she was full term, the emperor would not be assured that a pregnant woman who was about to give birth would not leave the palace. When she went to the temple on the day before term, she could achieve her goal by using any method of inducing birth.

I couldn't help feeling sad.

Thinking of Zhao Shuyuan and Old Lady Zhang's honest man, he didn't even want to compete for favor. It was because he was too close to Queen Yin's secret and was plotted like this. He never saw his biological son in this life.

这种痛苦,若发生在我身上,只怕早已经让我肝肠寸断了.

Old Mrs. Zhang whispered: "I heard that the process is very dangerous, but fortunately the Emperor protects her and the mother and son are safe."

“…”

"After returning to the palace, I knew that I had given birth to a prince, and the Supreme Emperor was very happy. I originally wanted to add her title, but for some reason, after she gave birth to that child, she became even more dull. When the Supreme Emperor went to see her, she didn't smile. After a few times, the Supreme Emperor was also cold, so she didn't mention the additional title."

My heart became more and more sour.

But Old Mrs. Zhang glanced at me and said, "Ms. Yan asked me what I did?"

“…”

I hesitated a little.

In fact, when Zhao Shuyuan made the change of children public in Gantang Village, this matter was not a secret. It just seemed meaningless to say it in front of Old Lady Zhang with red eyebrows and rolling eyes. She still didn't know how painful the honest man had encountered. If she told her, the past should not be pursued, it would just add a little sadness to people.

But—the place where Zhao Shuyuan gave birth to her son was in a temple in the suburbs.

我记得刘漓跟我说过,魏宁远被他们捡到的地方,似乎也是在京城的郊外.

Could it be that-

At this moment, a noise came from the originally quiet yard.

Old Mrs. Zhang and I looked at each other and immediately pursed our lips. A knock on the door soon sounded outside. Her maid said outside: "Old ancestor, the second young master is back."

Song Xuan is back.

In other words, Pei Yuanxiu, Han Zitong and others should have come back.

I knew I could not stay any longer, so I stood up and said goodbye to her. Soon, several maids came in. Old Mrs. Zhang still reluctantly pulled my wrist and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, come and spend more time with me, the old woman."

I nodded: "Don't worry, old man."

After saying that, he walked out.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the yard, he saw Song Xuan, who was so proud, coming towards me. He was not surprised at all when he saw me. He just couldn't say anything because he was following people around him, so he simply nodded: "Miss Yan is here to see grandma again."

I smiled and said, "I'm idle, come and talk to the old man."

He also smiled: "With Miss Yan's accompanying me, even if we are busy, grandma is afraid that she will not feel so unhappy. However, I see that Miss Yan's face doesn't seem to be very good, so has she not had a good rest?"

"It's like that after staying up all night."

"Miss Yan needs to take good care of herself. I'm afraid the next road will not be easy."

"……oh."

I glanced at him, he nodded with a smile, and then passed by me.

A gust of wind blew over me, and I looked back at his back and said nothing. I was about to continue walking forward, but he stopped and said to me, "Miss Yan, Mr. Pei and Miss Han Er have not come back yet. You can't find them in the past."

I was stunned again: "Didn't they come back with you?"

He said: "After we handled some things in the city, we originally wanted to come back together, but Miss Han Er said that there were some things that I wanted to talk to Mr. Pei alone, so they stayed there and might be a little later before they came back."

"Oh...I understand. Thank you, the second young master, for telling me."

"where."

He turned around and left, and I left, but a little doubt arose in his heart.

I know that every word we say now is necessary to be careful, because Pei Yuanxiu knows that there are "spy" around him, so he will definitely examine everyone in the Song family and the Cui family carefully. Then what he said just now must have been carefully considered.

The next road is probably not easy to walk.

What road?

Han Zitong wanted to talk to Pei Yuanxiu alone, but what else is there? He can't go back to the Song family to talk, but in Cangzhou City?
