"But since my aunt knows that Cousin Song is not the blood of my uncle, but Emperor Ai of Wei... why did she still agree to your mother-in-law to give Cousin Song to Shen Xun?" Wei Changying asked with a frown.
Mrs. Hu smiled: "My mother-in-law is also very confused about this question. She originally thought that Mrs. Sikong might be like Song Sikong later, to anger Miss Song and deliberately harm her. But my mother-in-law also felt that Mrs. Sikong was not that kind of person - Even if she hates Miss Song because of people like Concubine Deng and Emperor Ai of Wei, she should not drag His Highness into trouble because of her personality. "
"So my mother-in-law thought about it and suspected that it might be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?!"
Mrs. Hu nodded: "Yes, it's just a misunderstanding!" She pondered for a moment, "It can also be said to be Concubine Deng's revenge."
Wei Changying pursed his lips and motioned for her to continue.
"Because my mother-in-law liked Miss Song very much, she often asked Mrs. Sikong to take her to the palace to play." Hu said, "At that time, Concubine Deng was no longer confined - after all, my mother-in-law also relied on her to deal with the deposed Qian family. , so after interrogating Concubine Deng, he still found an opportunity to intercede with her and help her leave Mingguang Palace. In short, one time, Miss Song and His Highness Ninth happened to wear the same color and happened to play together with His Highness. People are not far apart…”
"My mother-in-law was sitting in the hall talking with Mrs. Sikong, watching them. However, Concubine Deng went to find my mother-in-law. Mrs. Sikong was very reluctant to see Concubine Deng, so she hid behind the screen. Then Concubine Deng went in and met with my concubine. After talking about things, when leaving, she saw His Highness Ninth Prince and Miss Song, and said that they looked very similar. My wife was thinking about what Concubine Deng had just said, so she said casually without thinking too much. The two children are both good-looking, and good-looking people all look similar, so they put this matter aside. But Mrs. Sikong behind the screen probably took these words to heart!"
Wei Changying was silent for a moment and said: "You mean, Cousin Song may not be my uncle's blood, but my aunt has doubted Cousin Song's bloodline because of Concubine Deng's words?"
"No, no, no, Miss Song is indeed not of the Song family." Mrs. Hu shook her head and said, "After Mrs. Sikong passed away, my mother-in-law had doubts and was not sure, but just in case, she decided to stop Song. The eldest lady married His Highness Ninth Prince! Until that year, Miss Song used the excuse of a carriage accident to hurt her forehead! Didn’t my mother-in-law send someone to offer condolences and also sent an imperial doctor to treat her? It’s certain that Miss Song is of Shen’s bloodline!”
Wei Changying felt that the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head and fell to the ground. She asked in a hoarse voice: "How to be sure?"
"Miss Song has a red mole on her shoulder. Its location, color, and size are exactly the same as mine!" Mrs. Hu chuckled, "Of course, my daughter must be of Shen's blood!"
"..." Wei Changying sat stunned and speechless.
"However, Mrs. Sikong may not be able to confirm Miss Song's bloodline. After all, they are both of the bloodline of Emperor Wei Ai, and not every princess has such a mole." Madam Hu said lightly, "Neither Anji nor Linchuan has one! My mother-in-law speculated that Mrs. Sikong might not be able to confirm it herself. After being told by Concubine Deng, she became suspicious - so-called suspecting a neighbor of stealing an axe. The more Miss Song looked at her, the more she looked like a member of the royal family, and the more worried she became - she was not in good health to begin with. Just like that, it’s like this!”
Wei Changying's face was expressionless - logically speaking, Wei Chanying might not be able to tell Song Zaishui's bloodline.
Because Song Yuwang doted on her so much that she lived as a widow for many years after her death and did not even accept a concubine. Of course, the couple lived together when she was alive. After all, when Song was pregnant with Shui Shui, Song Yuwang and Wei Chanying were still in their prime. How could they not be happy from time to time
Even if Wei Chanying was plotted by Concubine Deng and was insulted by Emperor Ai of Wei, she did not pay tribute to Song Yuwang for a period of time - but this kind of error should not last too long. Within a month, Song Yuwang would treat his wife How could you doubt your feelings? After all, as the saying goes, there are many people who give birth early or delay their pregnancy for one reason or another.
Therefore, unless like the deposed Gu family, there is Shen Bao, who is definitely the biological daughter of Emperor Wei Ai, as a template, and finds similarities in Song Zaishui, only then can we judge Song Zaishui's bloodline.
Otherwise, Song Zaishui doesn't look very much like Emperor Wei Ai or anyone else in the royal family. Even she doesn't look much like her parents - but not all biological flesh and blood in this world look like their parents! There are always children like this or that elder, or even relatives separated by generations and houses
Probably Wei Chanying gave birth to Song Zaishui, and left the impression that Song Zaishui's biological mother was gentle and amiable. It was because of this uncertainty—it can be inferred from the date of pregnancy that Song Zaishui may be the blood of Emperor Wei Ai, or it may be the blood of Song Yuwang. Bloodline.
At that time, Song Yu looked forward to having two sons at his knees. How could he not look forward to having another daughter
If Wei Chanying rashly gets rid of Song Zaishui, what if it is Song Yuwang's flesh and bones, how can she let it go? After she was born, it was impossible to tell whose child she was. With Wei Chanying's weakness, even though she was worried that Song Zaishui was the flesh and blood of Emperor Wei Ai, she hoped that it was her husband's. Since there was no evidence that she was the daughter of Emperor Ai of Wei, she wanted to come. Tell yourself that this is the eldest lady of the Song family - she will be treated like a legitimate daughter of the Song family.
Until Concubine Deng spoke out, Wei Chanying's doubts about her daughter's bloodline became more and more serious...
After being deposed, Mrs. Gu accidentally neglected the matter, and because she loved Song Zaishui, she repeatedly proposed marriage. Every time after being deposed, Mrs. Gu proposed a marriage, which was probably a kind of torture for Wei Chanying, who was hurt in her heart: This Could it be incest between half-brothers and half-brothers? !
In the end, Wei Chanying couldn't bear it anymore and in desperation agreed to the request of the deposed Queen Gu -
At this time, I'm afraid she was determined to die. If the marriage was not certain, she would fall ill.
This disease will never get better!
As for why she agreed to the engagement when she doubted her daughter's bloodline, only Wei Chanying herself can probably tell clearly: is it because she is too weak and innocent to refuse the post-abolition Gu family's enthusiastic marriage proposal, or is she giving up on herself and not wanting to be entangled with Gu family anymore? , or did she hate Emperor Wei Ai for humiliating herself and the Song family, and she really turned her anger on Song Zaishui
Even the deposed Gu family, who has been friends with Wei Chanying for several years, can only speculate on this issue, but cannot confirm it.
As desperate and sad as Wei Chanying was at that time, it was not surprising that she would do things that went against her nature.
Mrs. Hu followed Wei Chief Ying in silence for a long time and said, "As for when Song Sikong knew about it, I think it was Concubine Deng who told him."
"What!?" Wei Changying suddenly raised his head, "What about my uncle?!"
"Don't you think it's strange? When Shen Bo fought for the throne and succeeded to the throne, Song Sikong contributed a lot. However, Shen Bo's biological mother has passed away and his adoptive mother is not close to him. His backer in the harem is Concubine Deng." Hu said calmly. , "If Concubine Deng hadn't changed what happened to Mrs. Sikong into being harmed by my mother-in-law, and made Song Sikong believe it, I'm afraid that the first person Song Sikong would have to deal with would not be Emperor Wei Ai, but Concubine Deng, right?! Again? How can you tolerate being in the same camp as the noble concubine? "
Wei Changying bit his lip for a long time: "My uncle would actually believe it?!"
"That was Concubine Deng's method." Mrs. Hu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Mrs. Sikong died of illness shortly after Miss Song and His Highness Ninth Prince agreed to marry. Do you think Song Sikong doted on his wife so much that he didn't notice the difference between the two? There is a vague connection between them? It’s just that it’s hard for him to imagine that his beloved wife would have experienced something like that in the palace! He couldn’t even believe that his only daughter was not his own… After Concubine Deng turned right and wrong, Mrs. Sikong’s death... I became the one who was forced to death by my mother-in-law!”
"Song Sikong thinks that my mother-in-law knew Miss Song's life experience, but in order to gain the support of the Song family in the south of the Yangtze River, she still allowed His Highness the Ninth Prince to be engaged to Miss Song, which aroused the secret grief in Mrs. Sikong's heart again after several years. As a result, Mrs. Sikong couldn’t bear it and died of grief and anger!”
Wei Changying's eyes darkened: "How could Concubine Deng convince my uncle of such a big thing with her empty words? Your mother-in-law loves her children, right?"
"But His Highness the Ninth Prince is a man, and he can have concubines! If he is afraid of his brothers and sisters, the worst he can do is marry Miss Song and have little or no contact with her! As long as they are married, how can the elders control the boudoir affairs? But Miss Song has become the wife of His Highness Ninth Prince. The Song family must consider their daughter and look after His Highness Ninth Prince. On this point, just citing a few of my mother-in-law's decisive actions in the past may not be able to convince Song Sikong... Is there a fight in the palace? How is that possible? Leaving no trace every time? Especially when my mother-in-law and Concubine Deng teamed up to defeat the deposed Queen Qian. It can be said that each has his own tricks, and his trump card is also known to the other party... "
Mrs. Hu smiled mockingly, "As for the evidence - of course she has the evidence. The evidence is the original recipe for Meng Meng San - in order to win her trust, my mother-in-law tore off the recipe she found from an ancient book. It was dedicated to her after she was named because my mother-in-law copied many copies of it. When I asked Concubine Deng to get it back, Concubine Deng said that she would destroy it after reading it... My mother-in-law kept asking her this way, considering that it was still needed at the time. Concubine Deng, the one who helped me, didn’t care about it, but she left a flaw here!”
Wei Changying frowned.
"Concubine Deng said that the original recipe was given to Concubine Deng after she found out that she was plotting against Madam Sikong, and asked Concubine Deng to cover it up for her." Madam Hu said, "Back then, Madam Sikong was entrusted by Concubine Deng. To check the prescription, in order not to make the imperial concubine suspicious, she did check-Mrs. Sikong’s family was nothing more than that. Naturally, she could only find someone with some skills through Song Sikong, so Song Sikong was interested in the prescription! But it’s impressive!”
"In addition, when Mrs. Sikong was interacting with Concubine Deng, they kept avoiding people because they were guilty of each other, and even Song Sikong hid it! Of course, this is because Song Sikong trusted his wife and was unwilling to get to the bottom of it and embarrass his wife... " Mrs. Hu sighed, "On the contrary, later dealings with my mother-in-law were a public matter. Naturally, it was difficult for Concubine Deng's words to make Song Sikong suspicious!"
Wei Changying pondered: "Your mother-in-law is such a powerful person, but she didn't clarify it to my uncle?"
This is not in line with the deposed Gu family's character.
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face showed a look of crying for a moment. She suppressed it for a long time and said sadly: "Your Majesty, your life is miserable, but you gave birth to a son like His Highness Ninth Highness! No matter how hard you teach him, you can't teach him well - His Highness Ninth Highness Twelve Thirteen He has been flirting with women since he was young. From the beginning, he has often done things like rape, raping good families, and raping women. The empress cannot ignore him. She has to persuade and discipline him while also dealing with the aftermath... This is another frame-up by Concubine Deng. Your Majesty’s reason is that my wife is very experienced in dealing with this kind of things, and she often harmed innocent people when she was fighting for favors! Mrs. Sikong was just one of them... so much so that even His Highness Ninth Prince looked on and learned bad things, otherwise my wife would be like that. How could my mother teach such a naughty prince like His Majesty the Ninth Prince?"
"It's not just that simple, there are other reasons." Mrs. Hu sighed, "But since His Highness Ninth Prince started causing trouble, my wife can't compete with Concubine Deng with all her heart! She must always keep half of her mind. Your Highness, otherwise... After all, His Highness Ninth Prince is already the third one during the reign of Emperor Wei Ai! How can my wife not worry about him? Otherwise, how can Concubine Deng compete with my wife?"
"... Your mother-in-law has a son, Shen Xun. It's better not to have a son earlier than to pick one of the concubines to raise." Wei Chang Ying said quietly, "I know almost everything about my uncle and aunt by now. It's just that , where is Duanmu’s family?”
Mrs. Hu was startled: "What Duanmu family?"
"Before his death, my uncle had a very bad attitude towards the Duanmu family." Wei Changying asked, "But you just said it for a long time without mentioning the Duanmu family - could it be that in those past events, the Duanmu family was more involved than the Liu family? The matter involved is even bigger, so you still dare not say it?”
"The second crown prince of Emperor Wei Ai, the fourth prince born of the Queen Qian family, his crown prince Duanmu Weimiao is the legitimate daughter of the Duanmu family! You just mentioned all the way from Queen Liu of the Yuan Dynasty to your mother-in-law, Queen Gu... Later, Mr. Qian mentioned it again and again, why didn’t the Duanmu family say anything?”
Wei Changying asked in a deep voice! (To be continued)
