Chapter 382 Starting as a little palace maid 21
Has the second child been pretending to be ill for so many years?
Once unknown, is he developing in obscene ways?
Now that the second child suddenly assassinates the prince, is he ready to usurp the throne and commit rebellion?
Do you know about the second child’s concubine An Bin and her father’s family?
What are the plans for this big family?
A series of questions were swirling in Emperor Deqing's mind.
He is indeed a fool who is easy to fool.
but!
As an emperor, being suspicious is also his own innate skill.
The more he thought about it now, the more Emperor Deqing felt that something was wrong with the second prince, "You will send someone to check the second prince again. Is he really sick these years?"
"The slave has checked."
Gu Huaiyan whispered: "The second prince is indeed seriously ill, and judging from the pulse records sent back by the imperial doctor who diagnoses the second prince's pulse every month, the second prince's pulse is as smooth as a thread. I'm afraid...it will never be a holiday."
Although Gu Huaiyan spoke cryptically, Emperor Deqing understood.
This means that his second son is dying.
but……
"Then why did he assassinate the prince?"
He is about to lose his hair, and he has been content for so many years. Now he wants to kill the prince?
What?
He has a deep brotherly relationship with the prince, so even if he dies, he will have to drag the prince down to use him as his backing?
"I haven't found out yet, but I found out that Concubine An also had a hand in it...I found a few clues and guessed that it might be related to the Queen."
Gu Huaiyan's words really did not deceive Emperor Deqing.
He found out that when Concubine An was giving birth, the queen took action and caused the second prince to be born prematurely.
After the second prince was born, he took action again and again.
Just like that, the second prince's body was really broken down.
Concubine An remained silent in the palace, only worrying about raising the second prince.
It took a lot of effort to raise her to this day, and now she is getting ready to get married and have a baby, but in the end, she still wants to give birth to a white-haired person in favor of a black-haired person. How can she not hate it?
And the second prince...
As the same prince, he watched year after year, day after day, as the prince was held in high esteem by the stars, gathering power, wealth and honor.
However, he was ignored by his father and neglected by the palace people. The prince's palace he built after leaving the palace was also perfunctory...
How could he be reconciled to such a comparison?
More importantly, I owe my current situation to the crown prince and queen.
So it is indeed as Emperor Deqing guessed.
He decided to take the prince away before his death.
Anyway, Concubine Xian still has a son in her belly who can inherit the throne, so her family will not fall into the hands of others.
If he doesn't succeed this time, he will definitely do something again before he dies.
Of course, the last words were Gu Huaiyan's guess.
There are many twists and turns in the middle. He will tell Emperor Deqing, but not now.
Checking too quickly could easily arouse Emperor Deqing's suspicion.
He wouldn't involve himself in it.
"Also~"
Gu Huaiyan was silent for a moment, watching Emperor Deqing staring at him with blazing eyes, and then continued: "The servants followed the people sent by the queen outside the palace and found the head of a wet nurse, Mrs. Wang."
"Wang?"
Who?
Emperor Deqing was full of doubts.
Gu Huaiyan whispered: "This Wang family is the wet nurse that the wife of General Lin, the uncle of the country, found for his eldest son after he gave birth to his eldest son. After eight or nine months, his eldest son died of cold, and the Wang family left the house. ”
Emperor Deqing didn't pay much attention at first.
Then he heard Gu Huaiyan say, "The eldest son of the Lin family has been dead for so many years, but the queen's people are still in contact with him..."
Emperor Deqing:? ? ?
Emperor Deqing:! ! !
and many more!
Something's not right~
This Wang family was just a wet nurse, and the eldest son of the Lin family died again.
She herself had left the Lin Mansion long ago.
Logically speaking, even if there is contact, it means that the Lin Mansion has contact with her. Why would the Queen's people contact this nanny?
hiss~
Emperor Deqing pinched his sleeves, feeling that there was quite a conspiracy hidden here!
"what do you mean?"
Emperor Deqing knew that his IQ was not high, so he decided to ask for help from his external brain.
Gu Huaiyan expressed his opinion quite "loyally".
"My servant found out that the queen took the young prince to the Lin Mansion... The age difference between the prince and the eldest son of the Lin family is only one month, but you won't be able to tell when the children grow up..."
"I heard someone say earlier that the prince and uncle-in-law look somewhat similar..."
Gu Huaiyan hinted hesitantly.
Then he "comforted": "Of course Your Majesty, I haven't found any concrete evidence yet. Maybe I thought too much and wronged the Queen and His Royal Highness."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Deqing's expression did not improve at all.
Instead, it was as cold as an ice blade.
wronged?
Even if there is no evidence, just listening to Gu Huaiyan's speculations has already linked up a shocking royal scandal in his mind!
"What else was found?"
Emperor Deqing asked coldly.
"Following this line, my servant also found out that Concubine Jing's death was at the hands of the Queen."
Queen!
The queen again!
First kill Concubine Jing, and then take away the mother and seize the son.
Later, he took his child to the Lin Mansion, switched contracts with the Lin family's children, stole the dragon and then the phoenix into the palace, and even killed his own son just in case.
In this way, the Lin family's son can take over the identity of the prince and legitimately inherit the Xiao family's empire!
Okay~
What a good plan!
Seeing the suspicion and murderous intent flashing in Emperor Deqing's eyes, Gu Huaiyan immediately "persuaded": "Your Majesty, there may be some misunderstanding in this. Even if the Queen wants to...there are many people in the palace, how can it be done by another person?" Don’t you recognize it?”
"They are only a few months old. I rarely see them. The children are surrounded by the Queen's people. If she wants to change someone else, she will naturally be able to hide it."
It's just that Emperor Deqing didn't expect that someone would be so bold!
No wonder he never showed affection to the prince.
It turns out that Xiao Sheng is not his son at all! (Mainly because I’m jealous that my son is better than me!)
The more Gu Huaiyan persuaded him, the more convinced Emperor Deqing became in his guess.
Immediately, he directly gave an order to Gu Huaiyan, asking him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
A smile flashed across Gu Huaiyan's lips, "I obey your order."
Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng~
If I don’t punish you to death this time, I will take your last name from now on!
Gu Huaiyan and Xiao Sheng have long been in a life-or-death situation.
If Xiao Sheng gains power, he will also kill Gu Huaiyan, the traitor. If he can't be saved, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame. Cutting to pieces with a thousand swords or executed in Lingchi is not an exaggeration.
Skillful.
Gu Huaiyan thought so too.
Although Gu Huaiyan also knew in his heart that if Xiao Sheng could become an emperor, he would probably be a good emperor.
He has a good character.
He is both civil and military.
He looks good...
But so what?
Fighting in the court is such a cruel reality, but it is much more cruel and ruthless than the concubines and ladies in the harem!
Gu Huaiyan was about to lower his eyes and leave, completely suppressing Xiao Sheng and the Queen family to death.
Emperor Deqing suddenly stopped him, "Gu Huaiyan."
"The slave is here."
"Do you think the prince's face is similar to mine?"
Gu Huaiyan:...
He slightly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, who had an orange-skinned face, droopy eyebrows, and a somewhat fat figure, and then thought of the handsome Xiao Sheng with phoenix eyes——
He was silent!
