"Now you know why Mom was so shocked at that time. Just like you, Mom didn't expect that your father would come up with such a bad idea. However, it is true. If I tell a lie, teach me
I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky, and I will die without a burial place." The princess raised her hands to the sky and swore through gritted teeth.
"Mom, my daughter doesn't think what you said is a lie. She just can't believe that daddy actually came up with such an idea. Mom, you must not have agreed, right?" the little princess said softly. But she actually seemed to already know about it.
As a result, Lin Jue had already made the assumption that the package had been switched. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the similarity in appearance between Lu Wu and Concubine Rong, as well as Concubine Rong's various behaviors after seeing Lu Wu.
The princess did not answer, but continued softly: "I was scared to death after hearing the prince's plan, but the prince said there was no need to panic, that was the only solution he came up with. The prince said that he also knew that this matter was ridiculous,
He just couldn't bear my sadness and couldn't bear to see Yourong go crazy. The prince said that it should be up to Concubine Rong to decide whether she wanted to do it or not. He wanted me to tell Concubine Rong about this plan, saying that it was my own idea and let her
Concubine Rong makes her own decision."
Lin Jue sighed in his heart: "Concubine Rong had no way out at that time, but as long as there was any way, of course she was willing to give it a try. Guo Bing asked the concubine to tell her this plan and let Concubine Rong make her own decision. It didn't sound like he was forcing her.
, but in fact it’s almost the same as force.”
"...I thought about it for a long time and didn't dare to mention it to You Rong. It wasn't until three days later that I went to see her and saw her look. I couldn't bear it, so I mentioned it. Let me
Unexpectedly, Yourong actually agreed. I thought she would object, but she actually agreed without any hesitation. She begged me to do this for her. I was very scared, I...I
How dare you do such a thing? I regretted it at that time. I got up and ran back home. I didn’t dare to do it. I really didn’t dare to do it. Such a thing would lead to beheading and beheading the whole family. I
How dare you do this."
The princess was trembling slightly, as if she was a little cold. The little princess sighed, took off her cloak and stepped forward to put it on the princess. The princess stretched out her hand and held the little princess's hand without letting go. Her whole body was trembling like leaves in the autumn wind.
"Mother-in-law, you did it after all, right?" Lin Jue asked softly.
The princess raised her head and glanced at Lin Jue, and said softly: "I can't help it. On the night of the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, I had already gone to bed. Someone came from the Prince's Mansion and said that Yourong was about to give birth. He said that Yourong asked me to accompany him.
She gave birth and said that I had given birth to a baby and could help her. She would feel at ease if I was here. I had no choice. Before leaving, the prince told me that if there was anything, I must tell him and he would think of a way.
, guaranteeing that nothing will go wrong. I didn’t understand what the prince meant at that time. It wasn’t until later that I realized that the prince had actually guessed what was going to happen.”
Guo Caiwei put her arm around the princess's shoulders and said softly: "Concubine Rong wants you to... change the baby for her, right?"
The princess nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I didn't go to see Yourong again after I told her about that, but she made arrangements herself. No outsiders were allowed to approach the Wen Po and maidservants she brought from her parents' home during the birth.
When I entered the room, the baby was about to be born. Not long after I arrived, the baby girl was born... She was... a pretty girl with very pretty features. She looked like a young girl.
She will grow up to be a beautiful child..."
"Is there a plum blossom birthmark on the crook of the girl's left arm? Is there a red cinnabar mole on the side of her left chest?" Lin Jue interrupted in a deep voice.
"How do you know? It's true. The birthmark is very conspicuous, right on the arm. There is indeed a cinnabar mole on the chest. Lin Jue, how do you know?" The princess stood up and asked in surprise.
The little princess said softly: "Mom, don't you know, that girl is Lin Jue's side chamber, the little maid Lu Wu who has been with him since she was a child."
"Ah? Such a coincidence? How could it be such a coincidence? This is really surprising... How strange, that girl is still alive?" The princess's eyes widened and she was so shocked that she spoke incoherently.
Lin Jue said softly: "Mother-in-law, you'd better talk about what happened that night first, about Green Dance, and I'll tell you the details later. What happened after the baby girl was born?"
The princess sat down slowly and murmured: "...After the baby girl was born, You Rong learned that it was a baby girl, so she knelt in front of me and begged me to help her once. She said that she had already arranged everything.
She asked me to take the child away and bring him back at the back door in exchange for a son. She said that Minister Lu was waiting at the back door of the Prince's Mansion, and she had arranged everything. She said that the only one she could trust was me and her former son.
Lover Lu Feiming. A few days ago, she wrote a letter to Lu Feiming, asking Lu Feiming to help him arrange everything. Lu Feiming also brought a reply, saying that he would arrange everything for her, so that she could be raised with peace of mind. Tonight, in the backyard
A red lantern was hung at the door, which was a signal that she was giving birth. Lu Shilang would hold a bought boy and wait at the back door. The reason why she invited me here was because she only believed in me and was only willing to give up the baby girl.
I took her away. She said that she would feel at ease if I handed the baby girl over to Lu Feiming to raise."
When Lin Jue and the little princess heard this, they both became extremely nervous. The development of the whole thing was simply unpredictable. In the end, it was actually Lu Feiming who orchestrated this matter. This Lu Shilang also seemed to Wei Yourong
The love lingered. His former lover married the prince, and when he encountered the greatest dilemma, he stepped forward resolutely and took great risks to do such a thing for her. Logically speaking, no one would dare to do such a thing.
, but Lu Feiming did it. This is enough to show that Lu Feiming and Wei Yourong did like each other back then and had a deep relationship. It's a pity that fate played tricks on people and they had to part ways in the end.
Let’s not talk about the right or wrong of this matter, but just talk about Lu Feiming, who is admirable. At least this person has courage, responsibility, affection and righteousness.
"...At this point, I had no choice, so I wrapped the girl in a long coat and came out. As a princess, no one in the prince's palace dared to interrogate me. I pretended that I was going to the palace.
After taking some medicine to induce labor, I left the Prince's Mansion and went to the back door. As expected, Lu Feiming was waiting there, holding a newborn baby boy in his arms. I handed the baby girl to him, and he handed the baby boy to me.
When he turned to leave, he suddenly told me that he wanted me to tell Yourong to treat the baby well. He said that he couldn't buy a newborn boy in the city, and he couldn't help it. His baby just happened to be born today.
It was a boy, and he could only send his own child here. This was the first time I saw a man cry. Lu Feiming cried very sadly. He said that he would regard this girl as his own flesh and blood, and also invited Yourong.
Don't worry. Then he hugged the girl and left while crying."
"...I didn't dare to delay too much. I took the child into the room and sent it to Yourong. I left quickly. I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would be exposed. Not long after I left, the Prince's Mansion
We started to set off firecrackers and fireworks. Not long after, the queen's chariot also went to the Prince's Mansion. In short, it was lively and joyful. But my heart felt cold. After returning home, I lit several pots of charcoal fires in the heating pavilion, but
I still feel cold. I know it’s not cold, it’s fear, it’s the feeling of being scared to the bone.”
The princess hugged her shoulders and seemed to have returned to that thrilling night. She seemed to feel the fear and cold from the inside out that night. Although it was early summer and the weather was already a bit sultry, her body seemed to be shivering.
The little princess hurriedly stood up and took Lin Jue's cloak on the hanger to put it on the princess. However, the princess waved her hand and sat upright. She reached out to pick up the wine glass and drank another half of the glass, and her demeanor returned to normal.
"Mother-in-law, does my father-in-law know about this?" Lin Jue asked softly.
The princess said softly: "Of course I have to tell him, how could I not tell him such a big thing. The next morning, I told the prince about the matter. I thought that the prince would blame me for taking the initiative, but the prince just frowned.
After being silent for a while, he said: Now that the matter has come to an end, you should keep your mouth shut. From now on, you can no longer have any contact with Wei Yourong, otherwise... sooner or later, it will lead to disaster. I know what the prince said is right.
After doing something like that, if we had more contact with Yourong, we would inevitably have our flaws exposed. As long as we stopped contacting her, she could rest assured and I could find peace. Originally, we were going to stay in the capital that year.
During the Chinese New Year, the prince went to the palace to say goodbye the next day. In the name of the Hangzhou sea bandits, he wanted to take action during the New Year, so he took Kunerweier and I out of the capital and braved the snow back to Hangzhou. After that, we never followed him back to the capital.
Yourong came and went, but Yourong didn't look for me again."
Lin Jue fell into deep contemplation. When he was investigating Lu Wu's background, Lin Jue had already vaguely guessed that the civet cat had replaced the prince. Therefore, after hearing what the princess narrated, Lin Jue was shocked, but in fact
He was still somewhat prepared in his heart. However, when all this became a fact, Lin Jue still felt that it was quite unreal.
First, Lu Wu's identity has now been basically determined. She is really the daughter of Concubine Rong. In other words, she is the daughter of the current emperor Guo Chong, and she is a princess with royal blood flowing through her body. Lin
No matter how big my imagination is, ever since I checked the identity of Lu Wu, I have never thought that Lu Wu is actually a princess. The little maid who has been by my side for more than ten years, that timid, weak, yet somewhat willful and cute girl
The girl was actually a princess. Even though he had some mental preparation before, Lin Jue still found it unbelievable when the facts were before his eyes.
Secondly, the proposer of this package-swapping strategy was actually Guo Bing. Although he seemed to have only spoken out the plan and did not personally participate in its implementation. It seemed to have nothing to do with what ultimately happened. But Lin Jue
It is believed that Guo Bing was the instigator of this incident. It was he who opened the devil's box and released the devil. Under such circumstances, once the devil's thoughts were released, he firmly captured the desperate Wei Yourong's life.
Thoughts made her do it regardless.
The princess is in it, strictly speaking, she is just a tool. Guo Bing expressed this idea through the princess, and the princess is just a part of this plan.
But the question is, why did Guo Bing propose such a contract swap plan? This is the most incredible thing. It is completely inconsistent with his identity. Is Wei Yourong's life and death more important than the purity of the royal family's blood? Is he just doing this?
Is it to save people? This is obviously unjustifiable. This is why Lin Jue feels confused.
