Chapter 539 Her brother may have passed away
Not long after he was separated from King Jin, Wei Congxi met Madam Dong.
Madam Dong said, "Mr. Wei, the Empress wants to see you."
Wei Congxi followed Madam Dong and soon arrived at a garden.
When we arrived at the queen, Wei Congxi bowed.
"Aren't you afraid of being watched?"
The queen looked at Wei Congxi who was standing up and asked.
Wei Congxi said: "I dare not disrespect in front of my elders."
Queen Wu put down the teacup in her hand: "Who is your elder who is not treating herself as an outsider?"
Wei Congxi couldn't figure out what the queen said, but he still said: "The Empress is the princess's mother, and of course my elder."
Queen Wu smiled, but did not refute him, and asked him to sit down before saying, "I know both of you and Zhuzhu, and I only have two requirements for you."
"Please tell me, Empress."
Queen Wu said: "It is one thing to be kind to Zhuzhu in your life. I will never take a concubine. There can only be one woman Zhuzhu in your life."
Wei Congxi agreed without hesitation.
Queen Wu glanced at him, her voice softened a little and said, "There is another thing I want to explain clearly in advance. I believe you know this. Zhuzhu was poisoned when she was young, and that poison had hurt her body. She could not live to be thirty years old..."
Queen Wu was a little more swallowed. Whenever she thought of this, she could not forgive herself, nor could she forgive Xiao Shen.
"Zhuzhu can't have children... Can you accept this?"
Empress Wu felt that she was too much. Zhuzhu could not get pregnant, but she also asked Wei Congxi not to take a concubine. She also knew that Wei Congxi was the only one in the Wei family. If Zhuzhu had no children, then the Wei family would have lost their children. For a man, this would never be tolerated.
Empress Wu is ready for Wei Congxi to refuse.
Although she didn't want to be a villain or break up her daughter's marriage, she didn't want her daughter to be wronged. If Wei Congxi didn't want to, Empress Wu would raise her daughter for the rest of her life and let her live her life safely and smoothly.
"I promise!"
Wei Congxi answered without hesitation, without Queen Wu's words, he had already thought about this matter.
Queen Wu was stunned, as if she wanted to confirm something: "What did you say?"
Wei Congxi was extremely firm: "I promise, I will marry a princess for the rest of my life and never take a concubine."
Queen Wu couldn't speak for a long time.
"If the pearls are gone in the future..."
Queen Wu breathed a sigh of relief and forced herself to calmly say, "If Zhuzhu goes there in the future, you can marry another one. I just don't want her to feel wronged when she is alive..."
Queen Wu couldn't continue to say that when she thought of her daughter's fate, her heart was as if she was shattered.
Wei Congxi shook his head: "No matter what the princess is in the future, I will not marry another one."
Queen Wu looked at him, and Wei Congxi's eyes were very sincere and pure. No matter how much she covered her eyes, she would not lie.
Empress Wu's eyes turned red. Speaking of Wei Congxi, she was not very old. Looking at Wei Congxi like this, Empress Wu felt distressed. If his mother was still there, she would probably feel distressed to death when she saw her son like this.
Queen Wu was silent for a while and said, "I agree with this matter. You don't have to worry about other people's opinions. I will help you when the time comes."
"Thank you, Empress."
"Zhuzhu is in the Imperial Garden. If you want to find her, go there." Queen Wu said.
After Wei Congxi left, Empress Wu sighed and said, "He is also a poor child."
Madam Dong has been with the queen for many years and knows the queen's temperament, not to mention that she also likes Wei Congxi.
"How many men in this world can do this for a woman?" Madam Dong thought of the Emperor Xiao Shen, who kept saying that she loved Empress Wu.
What he said was better than singing, but what did he do in action?
Someone has drugged Concubine Shu, but what about his other concubines? How did those children come from?
Madam Dong thought that as the emperor, Xiao Shen had several women who could understand, but don’t say you love the queen while you were in your arms. Moreover, the emperor was not stupid when the princess and Shufei were poisoned. Can’t you see that someone was interfering with it?
But for the so-called overall situation, the emperor gave up his daughter without hesitation.
Queen Wu completely gave up because of that incident. Although the sons of the Xiao family didn't say anything, they were separated from the emperor in their hearts. They probably understood that they were not the emperor's only son, and their mother was not the only woman with the emperor.
In the face of the overall situation, they are also people who can be sacrificed at any time. Since ancient times, emperors have been so heartless that no one can escape.
Just to say, the prince is married now, but Madam Dong looked at him and the princess were awkward. It must be because the princess's mansion had to have a princess and he had to have a son. As for the others, they were all old and were not in a hurry.
Perhaps it wasn't that it was because the matter between the emperor and the queen had left some shadows on their hearts.
There is no harm in comparison without Yo. Madam Dong didn’t have so many ideas about the emperor in the past. Now, seeing Wei Congxi’s behavior and thinking of Xiao Shen, some ideas suddenly emerged.
Madam Dong sighed and comforted: "Empress, don't be too sad. Your Highness is fine. Maybe there will be a way out then."
Queen Wu nodded: "I hope this is the case."
The palace servant led Wei Congxi to the Imperial Garden soon, and saw Shi Luo talking to several girls from afar.
There were several people around Shi Luo, namely Wu Chengxiang, Jiang Shuhan, and Song Wencai's sister Song Wenshu.
Wu Chengxiang wanted Shi Luo to talk about the experiences of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shi Luo picked up interesting words.
Wu Chengxiang said with envy, "It's so good. I want to go and see it too, but my mother doesn't allow me to run around. My brother entered the military camp again after the New Year, and the mansion was even more deserted and bored."
Jiang Shuhan smiled softly: "You are all engaged, and you still know how to play."
Wu Chengxiang got engaged. His husband was the young master from Chengen Bo Mansion. The two of them were of equal status and knew each other very well. Now that Mr. Meng is in the military camp, he has a bright future.
Wu Chengxiang was thin-skinned and she couldn't help but blush when she said that.
Several people laughed and said, when Shi Luo saw that Song Wenshu was silent, he asked, "Is there no news from Master Song yet?"
Song Wenshu looked up and saw Shi Luo looking at her with concern. She couldn't help but turn red and shook her head: "No."
Shi Luo sighed. Since the princess gave birth to a corpse and two lives last year, the owner of the civet cat, Song Wencai has no idea whereabouts, which further confirmed that Song Wencai was the murderer.
Although most people think that Song Wencai will not be the real murderer, he disappeared after the incident. Dali Temple will not handle cases because of the divine logic of "I don't want you to think, I want me to think", and Dali Temple only certifies evidence.
Not long after that incident, Dali Temple issued a wanted order, and Song Wencai was wanted nationwide.
Although Prime Minister Song is still the prime minister, the Song Mansion has been greatly implicated.
The murder of the Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson was a serious crime. The Emperor did not sue the Song Mansion, which was already particularly merciful.
For more than half a year, Song Wenshu has been frightened. Everyone in the mansion said that Song Wencai has not heard of it for so long. Either he was the real murderer of the Crown Princess and ran away after the incident, or Song Wencai was just a scapegoat and was silenced after the incident.
No matter which one is, it is not good news for Song Wenshu. She doesn't believe that her brother will murder the emperor Changsun and the crown princess for no reason.
So Song Wenshu felt that the second possibility was greater, and her brother might have been no longer alive.
