Before I finished speaking, I immediately realized that Queen Zhaolie had of course passed away. This was a fact that had existed a long time ago. However, now that I recall the tragedy of that time, a pregnant woman died tragically.

People who have never experienced the pain and despair in the fire cannot imagine it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of that night that I will never forget, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Perhaps, this harem has never lacked such hurt women.

I sat silently on the edge of the bed. After a long time, I calmed down and asked, "Then, what happened next?"

"Later, the Queen Mother woke up the next day and found out what had happened in Gui Palace. She was very weak at the time, but she had a deep relationship with Queen Zhaolie, so she still insisted on getting up and went to see, but then she realized that there were many people around her.

It has been put under guard, as ordered by the Supreme Emperor."

"Why should we guard it?"

"I don't know about this." Aunt Gui shook her head and said: "At that time, because of the fire, the palace was in chaos, and the Queen Mother did not have the energy to take care of more things. She could only wait for the Supreme Emperor

Come, so that we can ask what happened. It was not until three days later that the Supreme Emperor came to Ning'an Palace to see her."

"Then what?"

"Then..." At this point, a crack-like injury appeared in Aunt Gui's eyes, and she said: "Then, after the Supreme Emperor left, the Queen Mother discovered that her child had been replaced."

"What?!"

I was shocked: "Have you been replaced?"

"Yes, they were replaced." Aunt Gui nodded and said: "Actually, at that time, neither I nor the nanny who took care of the prince felt anything was wrong. But when the Queen Mother saw it, she insisted that the infant child

Not hers."

"..." There was a violent shock in my head, as if someone had hit me hard from behind with a heavy hammer.

Was the Queen Mother's child exchanged?

To be precise, he was replaced by the Supreme Emperor?

Why did he want to take away the Queen Mother's child?

If the Queen Mother's child was exchanged for him, then where did that child go? The one exchanged for the Queen Mother was naturally the current one - then where did he come from?

I just felt that my mind and heart were in a mess, and I couldn't figure it out for a while. Only Aunt Gui's eyes were a little red, and she lowered her head and said, "Maybe, mother and son are really connected."

"..."

"Later, the Queen Mother asked me to invite the Supreme Emperor to come, but she turned away everyone, including me. No one knew what they said, but the Queen Mother always insisted that the infant child was not hers. Later, the Supreme Emperor stopped coming to the Queen Mother.

..."

"..."

"Later, the Queen Mother entered Linshui Pagoda and refused to come out again."

Mother and son are connected...

Mother and son are connected!

I slowly let go of Grandma Gui's hand, but unconsciously clenched my fist until my nails dug deeply into my palm, causing a burst of pain.

If the Emperor really exchanged two children; if the Queen Mother saw the painting in Chang Qing's studio, it was because the mother and son were connected and had feelings for each other; then her child is the one who made me feel my whole life.

The man who cannot be forgotten may be the weakness that others use to hold her hostage!

That day, when she murmured, "Will someone save him?" something must have happened...

But——

I frowned and looked at Aunt Gui: "Auntie, does anyone else know about this?"

Aunt Gui shook her head: "At the beginning, I was the only one who was closest to the Queen Mother. In the entire Ning'an Palace, only she and I knew about this matter - of course, there is also the possibility that she is the Supreme Emperor..."

That's natural.

However, now that the Supreme Emperor has been ill for many years, I am afraid that nothing can be confirmed, and if it was really him who did it, given his status, he would not tell anyone else. What I am worried about is something else.

One——

"Then, have you or the Queen Mother told anyone?"

When Aunt Gui heard this, she immediately shook her head and said seriously: "Of course not!"

"..."

"This incident hurt the Queen Mother deeply. Not long after that, the Queen Mother entered the Linshui Pagoda. Even the Emperor did not come here often. The Queen Mother has always been tight-lipped about this matter. When she was with me

, and never mentioned it, as if it never happened. But, I know that her heart has always been - always very painful and tortured."

It's right to think about it. The Queen Mother has been here all these years. Even if she asked me about Huang Tianba, she never explained it. How could she tell others?

As for Aunt Gui, when the Queen Mother was talking in her sleep, she had to step forward to stop her, so naturally she would not tell others.

If that's the case, how could Shen Gongye and the others——

Wait!

I suddenly thought of something——

Naturally, the Queen Mother would not say anything when she was sober, but what if she was not sober?

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood. Aunt Gui looked at me and a light flashed in her eyes. She was also startled and said hurriedly: "Master Yue, what's wrong with you?"

I looked at her and couldn't say anything for a moment, so I just said softly: "It's okay."

"..."

Of course, you can deal with Shuixiu by being perfunctory like this, but you can't deal with an old man like Grandma Gui. She still looked at me doubtfully, but she understood very well and didn't ask. Maybe she herself also knew very well what she should ask and what she shouldn't ask.

; What can be asked, what cannot be asked. After a long while, he just sighed softly: "I know everything I know, and I told you."

"Mommy..."

"Now, I really don't know what to do about the Queen Mother's affairs." She looked at me and said slowly: "Master Yue, you are a person who can make big decisions. You should pay more attention to the Queen Mother's affairs."<

/p>

I was speechless for a moment.

I am not a person who can make big decisions, and in the current situation, it is not my turn to make decisions, but the look in her eyes seemed to entrust everything to me. She, and the Queen Mother who has lived a miserable life

, my throat was choked up, and I couldn’t open my mouth to say anything else.

After a while, I said softly: "I understand."

She then stood up, nodded deeply to me, took the things on the table and went out.

I also walked out of the Queen Mother's tent with her, but looking at her old back, I couldn't follow her, not only because everything I just knew was too shocking to me, but also because of the situation in front of me.

It makes me unable to feel at ease.

Now, I have a rough idea of ​​what Shen Gongye is planning.

Regardless of whether he obtained the secret of the Queen Mother through the method I guessed, and thus grasped the weakness of the Queen Mother, judging from the current situation, since he knew the secret, he naturally could not let it go for nothing.
p>

Previously, when Fu Badai first entered the capital, he was attacked in another courtyard outside the city. They were still wary. After all, according to the order of monarchs and ministers, the glory, wealth and success of ministers all came from the emperor. Moreover, his daughter was a concubine in the harem, and later

Giving birth to Lin'er and Pei Yuanhao's reign will naturally bring greater benefits to them in the future.

But now, he obviously no longer has the scruples he had at the beginning.

First, it is naturally because Pei Nianyun was diagnosed as an idiot by Fu Badai, and his future path to becoming a prince and ascending to the throne as emperor was blocked.

The second is the secret of the Queen Mother.

In fact, it has been so many years since we talked about it, and what is Pei Yuanhao's identity has not yet been determined. If we want to keep this matter under wraps, it is not impossible, but - from this point on, Pei Yuanhao has been thinking about

Judging from the deep attitude, the position of crown prince has been determined. Even if Shen Rou really has the chance to give birth to another prince, she is just a prince.

Therefore, Shen Gongye and the others have given up on this idea.

In his position, since the emperor's reign can no longer bring them greater benefits, then naturally, this emperor is not the best emperor for them.

Moreover, now that Pei Yuanhao is seriously injured and unconscious, this is a good opportunity!

It's just that I still don't understand something.

If they really committed such a treasonous act, it would definitely cause a huge backlash in the government. Can Shen Gongyou's power suppress those people? Does he dare to have Chang Yanbai in front of him and Fu Badai in the back?

In addition, the power of young officials in the DPRK cannot be underestimated, risking the disapproval of the world?

After all, the change of ownership of the world is no small matter!

This bet is a bit risky, or too risky. Even I would weigh it, let alone Shen Gongye. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who only acts blindly without considering the consequences.

During the direct war, he supported Pei Yuanhao behind his back, and he did the same thing, let alone now.

So, what is his real trump card?

I kept my head down and furrowed my brows as I walked forward slowly. I accidentally tripped over a rope on the side of the road. I was about to fall down and gnaw on the mud. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from beside me to help me.

Lived me.

"Ah!"
