Concubine Xie had a miscarriage and injured her body. Even if the physical injury was so severe that it was impossible to have another child, then it was absolutely possible to adopt a child under such circumstances.
Although Xie Jinwu and Concubine Xie are not from the same family, with Xie Jinwu from the north and Concubine Xie from the south, it does not mean that Concubine Xie will not sympathize with them.
Besides, regardless of whether Nan Xie or Northern Xie is a family for those with the surname Xie, it is not impossible for Concubine Xie to adopt a child from the Xie family.
Therefore, Shen Mingzhu guessed that Concubine Xie might be the child of Jinwu through adoption, but Xie Jinwu had already begun to decline at that time, and the court was filled with all kinds of remarks that wanted to bring him down.
In this case, it makes sense for both parties to choose to keep the secret and treat it as Concubine Xie's own child.
After Jie Jinwu's death, they naturally stopped mentioning it. When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was even more confidential.
And Concubine Xie must have felt that although her son was adopted, she could still hide it if she pretended to be pregnant in advance as long as no one knew about it.
If this were the case, no one would know that she had adopted a son, and they would all think that she had given birth to her son. The son would also think that she was his biological mother, and he would naturally become closer to her.
It would be great if we could get confirmation from Concubine Xie.
Although this revealed the secret of Xiao Xian's identity and might turn Xiao Xian into a sinner or an orphan without a father or mother, Shen Mingzhu felt it didn't matter.
Because she feels that nurturing kindness is paramount, and those who raise children are the real parents. No matter what the reason is, whether it is selfishness or for the sake of the children, as long as they do not raise the children, do not see the children grow up day by day, and do not participate in
During the child's growth.
Then they are not considered real parents, adoptive parents are the real parents.
Because they guarded him and watched him grow up little by little.
So although knowing her life experience would be a bit difficult to accept, she felt that Xiao Xian could overcome it.
She even thought it was good for him.
No matter in his past life or this life, Xiao Xian has an unquenchable resentment towards Prince Yan for wanting to kill him and his mother and concubine.
If it can be proven that Xiao Xian is not the son of Prince Yan, then he will no longer have to be sad about what happened in the past or wonder why it happened.
Although Jie Jinwu's son may be accused of unwarranted crimes, at least he has an upright father who will not make him feel uncomfortable.
What's more, they only want to prove it privately to themselves, and they don't really want to make anything public.
Even if he is Jie Jinwu's son, no one will know.
She stretched out her fingers and gently drew circles on his palm, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you to do."
Xiao Xian looked at her alertly, "Want to leave you? Not at this time, I have to guard you."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "Why are you nervous? You are not leaving me, but you are going back to pay your respects to Concubine Xie so that she will not miss her. Besides, you have returned to the capital and haven't seen Concubine Xie for so long. Shouldn't you just come back?
Are you going to pay her respects to her? But you came here first, and those censors can accuse you of being unfilial."
Xiao Xian said: "I want you to be filial to my mother and concubine with me, and not to leave me alone. My mother and concubine are in good health, and she will understand us and support us.
