Yue'er clutched her chest for a long time and didn't come back to her senses. She was frightened by the words of the Prime Minister's wife. She never thought that Prince Rong was not a king with a different surname. And the person living in the capital was Prince Cheng, the fifth prince at that time, Rui.
The prince lived in Jingcheng. In other words, Prince Rong was the fourth prince at that time. Because there was only the fourth prince at that time, there is no record.
However, what happened that year? The fifth prince and the sixth prince were both named princes, and only the fourth prince was sent to Prince Rong's Mansion.
In fact, all the veterans back then knew what happened, but no one dared to mention it. It seemed that my mother also knew what happened back then. Since my mother had spoken out, she would probably also tell herself what happened back then.
What's up.
"Mother, Yue'er doesn't understand what mother means. How can Prince Rong be of royal blood?" Yue'er asked doubtfully.
"Yue'er, mother just wants to comfort you, nothing else is important." The Prime Minister's wife said.
"Mother, my daughter knows that we can't talk nonsense about what happened back then, but there are only two of us here, so what can't we talk about?" Yue'er said.
Seeing that her mother was still hesitant, Yue'er continued to persuade her: "Mom, my daughter really wants to know what happened back then. Now that my daughter has married into Prince Rong's palace, if she says something wrong in the future, she will definitely make Prince Rong and Princess unhappy.
"
The Prime Minister's wife looked like she knew it when she saw Yue'er. After hesitation, she said, "It's not that mother doesn't want to tell you, it's just that it's been so many years and if I mention it again, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar."
"Mother, my daughter will not spread the news? Don't you even believe in Yue'er?" Yue'er said.
"I really can't do anything about you, so I'll tell you." said the Prime Minister's wife.
The late emperor had a total of six princes, and the most important one was the third prince, who is also the current emperor. The late emperor had already written an edict establishing the crown prince, which would be passed on to the third prince in the future. Although they did not know the content of the edict.
, but he had already guessed the late emperor’s intention.
At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill, and the third prince happened to be away from the capital. The eldest prince was the most anxious. If the late emperor died at this time, after the edict was read, the third prince could legitimately succeed to the throne. As the eldest son, he was very important to his father.
He was definitely not reconciled to his decision. So, he encouraged the fourth prince to cooperate with him and planned to steal the edict. At that time, in order of eldest and youngest, he could inherit the throne.
After listening to the eldest brother's suggestion, the fourth prince agreed to the eldest brother. The fourth prince did not really help the eldest brother. He did not look down on the mediocre and somewhat dull eldest brother. It was just because he knew that looking for
Without the imperial edict, they had no chance. After destroying the imperial edict, the eldest brother was no match for them. So, the two brothers each had their own agenda, and worked together to find the edict.
Originally, the two of them planned to suppress the news that the late emperor was seriously ill, but they did not expect that it would spread anyway. After the third prince received the news, he returned to the capital without stopping.
When the eldest prince learned that the third prince had returned to the palace, he wanted to take the opportunity to force him into the palace. However, he did not expect that the third prince had been prepared and the eldest prince was captured without hesitation. At that time, the fourth prince knew that something was wrong and escaped.
However, when the imperial physician diagnosed the late emperor's pulse, he discovered that the reason why the late emperor was seriously ill was due to poisoning. The late emperor had been poisoned for at least half a year, and the toxin had invaded the bone marrow. After the imperial physician administered the acupuncture, the late emperor slowly regained consciousness, but the late emperor was afraid that
He only had two months left to live.
After investigation, the third prince discovered that the person who poisoned was Concubine Xian, who was the biological mother of the fourth prince. At this time, the eldest prince confessed that the fourth prince was also involved in the matter.
The late emperor was worried that the fourth prince would not give up in the future, so he first sent the concubine Xian into the cold palace, and then adopted the fourth prince into Prince Rong's palace.
After the death of the first emperor, the three princes successfully succeeded to the throne.
"Old Prince Rong has no children. The fourth prince inherited the throne after the old prince passed away." The Prime Minister's wife said.
"So this is what happened back then." Yue'er said.
"Back then, the late emperor also loved the fourth prince very much, otherwise he would not have sent the fourth prince to Prince Rong's Mansion." The Prime Minister's wife said.
"The fourth prince adopted Prince Rong and lost the chance to inherit the throne. Is this also affection?" Yue'er said.
"Yue'er,
Although the late emperor had been drowsy, he could still hear what the two princes did. At that time, the late emperor issued an order and the eldest prince was punished and went to the imperial mausoleum to keep vigil, but the fourth prince only adopted him.
"Rong Wang." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Looking at it this way, the late emperor loved the fourth prince so much that it might be possible to pass the throne to him. However, he was too impatient and that's why he disappointed the late emperor." Yue'er said.
"Maybe, because the eldest prince and the fourth prince made mistakes, and the third prince made a contribution and saved the late emperor, the late emperor directly issued an order to make the third prince the crown prince. No one saw the edict, maybe it was burned by the late emperor
"Now that I think about it, maybe the person in the edict is not the third prince, otherwise the late emperor would not have had to issue a special edict," said the Prime Minister's wife.
"My daughter thinks her mother's guess is right. It must be like this. Mother, is Concubine Xian still alive now?" Yue'er asked.
"After the current emperor inherited the throne, I heard that out of concern for brotherhood, he secretly sent Concubine Xian to Prince Rong's Mansion. Of course, Concubine Xian cannot live as an old concubine even if she leaves the palace," said the Prime Minister's wife.
"It's all my daughter's fault. If my daughter hadn't been so impulsive, she wouldn't have married the prince today." Yue'er said with some regret.
"Yue'er, why do you say that? Although Prince Rong's status is somewhat inferior, the blood of the royal family still flows in his body." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"However, although King Rong is the fourth prince, he is guilty after all. Otherwise, the late emperor would not have adopted King Rong. My daughter wanted to marry His Highness King Mo, but she was actually planning to get in. She didn't expect that because
Being anxious led to a disaster, and in the end I had no choice but to marry the crown prince. It’s all my fault that my daughter is useless, and she will never have the chance to become the imperial concubine again." Yue'er said.
"Yue'er, mother has figured it out. As long as the prince treats you well, mother will be relieved. In the past, it was all the fault of mother, otherwise you would not make mistakes. Now that you have married into Prince Rong's palace, live a good life with him.
." said the Prime Minister's wife.
The Prime Minister's wife knew that it was useless to scold Yue'er now, as Yue'er could only marry the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince treated her very well, and it would be good to become Princess Rong in the future.
She also knew Yue'er's plan, and she thought Yue'er could succeed. After all, many young masters wanted to marry Yue'er. Who knew His Highness King Mo was so ruthless, and Yue'er had to marry the prince.
"Mother, do you really not blame Yue'er?" Yue'er asked.
"You must be cautious in everything, but don't endure it if you are wronged." The Prime Minister's wife warned.
"Thank you for your concern, mother," Yue'er said.
"It's still early for lunch, so you'd better rest for a while," the Prime Minister's wife said.
"It's better to be more comfortable at home. Prince Rong's Mansion is still not as good as here. Even if Princess Rong doesn't cause trouble, it's better to be at home." Yue'er said.
"It's okay to say these things in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't say them in Prince Rong's Mansion. Except for the people you bring, don't easily believe what others say." The Prime Minister's wife said.
"Don't worry, mother, my daughter knows." Yue'er said.
After the Prime Minister's wife gave her instructions, Yue'er was told to have a good rest. Yue'er was indeed a little tired, so after the Prime Minister's wife left, she slept for a while.
Before lunch, the Prime Minister's wife came over to wake up Yue'er. After Yue'er dressed up, the lady accompanied Yue'er to the front hall.
The Prime Minister had a good chat with the Crown Prince and was very satisfied with his son-in-law. The two of them had a very good chat. After lunch, they continued to play chess.
It was dusk in a blink of an eye, and the Prime Minister's wife said to Yue'er: "It's already this hour, you should go back with the Crown Prince."
"Mom, why don't you go back after dinner?" Yue'er said.
"Yue'er, after having lunch according to the rules, you should go back. It's already getting late." The Prime Minister's wife said.
"Then Yue'er will go and tell the Crown Prince." Yue'er said.
Yue'er went to the outer room and said to the prince: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, we should go back."
"I didn't expect that I forgot the time while playing chess with my father-in-law. It's getting late, why don't we use
Go back after dinner?" the prince said.
"Your Majesty, according to the rules, after we have lunch, we should go back. We have been out for a long time, and I am afraid that my mother and concubine will be worried." Yue'er said.
The prince thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll go back right now."
After the prince finished speaking to Yue'er, he said to the Prime Minister: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will treat Yue'er well."
"I believe the prince will treat Yue'er well. Yue'er has been spoiled by my wife and I. I hope you will take more care of her." The Prime Minister said.
"Father-in-law, Yue'er is so sensible, even I would put her in the palm of my hand." The prince said.
The prince then said to his wife: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will love Yue'er well and won't let her suffer any grievances."
"Then I'll be relieved," the lady said.
After the prince and Yue'er said goodbye, they left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On the carriage, the Crown Prince saw Yue'er's anxious look and said with a smile: "Look at how anxious you are, don't worry, my mother-in-law will not make things difficult for you."
"For the sake of the child, my mother-in-law will not argue with me, but as a daughter-in-law, I cannot break the rules. I cannot make things difficult for my mother-in-law just because I am pregnant," Yue'er said.
"Yue'er is very sensible, I believe my mother and concubine won't care about it," the prince said.
Because the Prime Minister's Mansion was only one street away from Prince Rong's Mansion, the carriage soon stopped outside Prince Rong's Mansion.
The Crown Prince helped Yue'er out of the carriage, and the two of them entered Prince Rong's Mansion holding hands.
As a result, as soon as he entered the courtyard, the housekeeper came to the prince's side and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."
"What's the matter?" The prince asked in confusion.
"The princess is waiting for the prince and the princess in the courtyard. The prince and the princess seem to be very angry," the housekeeper said.
"I understand." The prince said.
Yue'er said: "We should come back earlier, the mother-in-law must be angry."
"Don't worry, I've already told my mother and concubine that we will be back a little late today," the prince said.
"I know that the mother-in-law will not be angry, but we should not have come back so late. Even if you told the mother-in-law in advance, I still feel that this is not in line with the rules." Yue'er said.
"Silly girl, I think I should stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion for one night, so that I don't feel I have wronged you," the prince said.
