Chapter 2091 Since it's me, why me?
I thought he had been with Concubine Zhao these days. After all, the mother and son had just recognized each other. Moreover, judging from what Pei Yuanhao said in public that day, although he gave the title of Prince Pei Ningyuan Ning, he mainly asked him to respect the Concubine and be a filial son more than a king.
Pei Ningyuan said: "I heard that Miss Yan is sick, so I really see you. Is it okay?"
"fine."
I smiled and raised my hand: "Your Highness, please come in and do it."
Although hesitated, he still walked in and sat in the chair there properly, which was still some distance away from me.
I am glad that although I am sick, I am not as unkempt and haggard as my face is not as clean as I am. I am not ashamed of being such an elegant person as Pei Ningyuan. On the contrary, he has no calmness and indifference on his body. Although he is not at a loss, when I sit there, I can feel his eyes somewhat erratic.
I asked, "Your Highness Ning is here, won't you just come to visit my illness, right?"
“…”
He was silent for a while, and when he looked up at me, his eyes looked even more confused. After a while, he finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Yes, about my life experience, I want to ask Miss Yan."
“…”
I was stunned.
I am not without doubt about his life experience, but I really haven't thought about coming to face him.
Seeing my face sinking, he said, "It was Miss Yan's letter that asked me to leave Jiujiang and go to Xi'an Prefecture. But as soon as I came here, the emperor immediately recognized me and said that I would be granted the title of King Ning. However, when I asked some specific questions, the emperor did not answer any of them... I know that the emperor was busy with government affairs recently and may not care about this matter anymore, but since it was written by Miss Yan, Miss Yan must have known something when she wrote the letter, so she would write to me, right?"
I hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, I don't know much about this."
"Then, why did the emperor suddenly know my life experience?"
"Uh—this—,” I hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe, His Majesty the Emperor has already received some news."
"Then why haven't I mentioned this before, and this time I suddenly mentioned it?"
"I really don't know what the emperor is thinking."
I knew very well that this matter had been finalized by Pei Yuanhao. If it was really to be revealed, it would be bad for anyone, especially Qinghan, which is the worst. Therefore, even if I still have doubts in my heart, I can only help Pei Yuanhao fool this matter.
Seeing Pei Ningyuan frowning and as if he wanted to ask something, I asked back, "Why did King Ning suddenly ask these questions?"
He paused and said, "I, I don't know, but I just felt that this happened too suddenly, and suddenly it made me a little bit unacceptable."
I said, "Maybe, this matter is indeed too sudden, but this is already the emperor's words."
"That's why I think this matter should be cautious."
“…”
"The emperor, he didn't even ask about my age, nor did he ask about anything I did when I was young."
“…”
"As a matter of saying that, shouldn't you verify everything clearly when looking for the royal bloodline?"
The more he said, my heart became more and more serious, but suddenly I remembered something from the past and said, "Actually, His Majesty the Emperor has already checked it."
"Oh?" He immediately raised his head in surprise and looked at me: "Is there any evidence?"
"Your Highness Ning was picked up by Lord Liu Yi and the others when he was young. Do you remember this?"
"I remember that not long after I became a disciple of the Lord, I accidentally talked about this matter and realized that I had such a connection with them."
I said, "Then, Your Highness Ning still remembers a swaddle that you used when you were a child."
"Swabbing?"
"It seems that your highness doesn't remember it. A few years ago, I was in the palace and saw that Hepeng made a small cloak for His Highness the Second Prince. The material of the cloak was very good, and there were gold wire mixed in it. She said that she had dismantled the old cloak at home, and that cloak - it seemed that they used when they picked up His Highness."
"Really?"
"Of course...Your Highness, do you think, ordinary people can afford such things?"
After hearing me, he showed a sudden expression on his face. After a while, he looked at me, and his voice trembled slightly, "So, I, I am indeed-"
I forced a smile: "Your Highness Ning doubts others, and you shouldn't doubt His Majesty's golden words."
Hearing me say this, he smiled embarrassedly: "Shame."
After saying that, I reached out to wipe my forehead and then I realized that it was shiny, as if I was sweating. It seemed that this matter was very important to him, otherwise he would not have lost his composure. He took a breath, then raised his head and looked at me and said, "Miss Yan, please don't be surprised, but this matter is really important to me."
I smiled and said, "Of course, who can't care about your own background?"
"Yes..." He sighed softly and said, "Actually, after so many years, I don't know, and I don't think about it anymore, but suddenly this matter came out like this, and I couldn't help but feel a little--"
“…”
"And, since it's me, then... why is it me?"
“…”
I heard this sentence at first glance that I was a little puzzled, but when I saw the solemn expression on his face, I immediately came to my senses.
Yes, why is it him?
Because Concubine Zhao was controlled by Empress Yin, she gave birth to him in a temple outside the palace and then replaced him to control Concubine Zhao.
Why did you treat him like this and Concubine Zhao like this?
I suddenly realized that there was this matter. Unfortunately, I have only been concerned about the cold and detoxification these two days, and I was so sick that I had forgotten to ask about the truth.
Now, someone finally knows the truth.
I looked at Pei Ningyuan and said, "Then, has your Highness asked the concubine?"
His expression suddenly became dark.
My heart also twitched a little, and I said, "What's wrong? Did Concubine Zhao say something?"
He shook his head and said, "She said nothing."
I was stunned: "Why?"
