However, he believes that the people around him will not betray him easily. For example, until now, Shen Zhongbai has not been able to find clues about his identity from the people around him, right
"Your identity has not been exposed until now. I am afraid that I have to thank not only your princess, but also the tight-lipped friends around you. They are almost doing their best to cover up your identity. Of course, they themselves also have many identities. , you can help each other when you are together, sometimes even I can’t understand who you are, so from this point of view, you are quite successful."
King Cheng's mother-in-law was very beautiful, which she inherited from him. He also had a very good-looking smile. What's more, at this age, he didn't look old at all like his peers. He was really envious of others. Okay, when he smiled like this, Shen Qianshan was stunned.
"By the way, you said that day that you were not my father's biological brother. What did you mean?" Shen Qianshan understood in his heart that since King Cheng chose to keep him, it meant that some things could not be solved in just a few words. To make it clear, he stayed behind just to be able to explain things more clearly to himself. It could also be that what happened back then was indeed difficult to explain.
King Cheng poured a cup of tea, put his beloved little daughter on his knees, helped him remove the bun that had become loose, and combed it with his hands.
"There is nothing to say about this matter. It is quite simple. I am not my father, your grandpa's biological child, but my mother-in-law is indeed my father's. Concubine.”
Cheng Wang's words obviously confused Shen Qianshan who was opposite him. What did this mean? Could it be that His Royal Highness’s mother-in-law did something to disgrace Grandpa Huang
"This matter is not too complicated. To be precise, my mother-in-law is the little princess of Xiliang. The folk customs in that place are more unrestrained, but they are not to the point where they can admit that a woman becomes pregnant before marriage. At that time, my My mother-in-law was with a nomad on the grassland. When my mother-in-law’s father found out, he immediately killed the nomad and even aborted the child in his belly. As for my father, he was a soft-hearted person at that time. He is a good person, and he was saved by my mother-in-law when he was in danger on the grassland. Naturally, he wanted to help my mother-in-law, so he took her back to Bei'an."
Shen Qianshan was not surprised by such a story. When he had an impression, Grandpa Huang was such a kind old man. He had his own opinions on no matter what the matter was. He was kind-hearted, so his The father is also kind-hearted, but he did not expect that by the time of his imperial brother's death, the person sitting on the throne would become like this. And now Shen Zhongbai sitting on the throne, if there is no Mingjun in Bei'an, I am afraid that he will be dead soon. I can't stand the torture of the two of them.
"My mother-in-law also knew that my father wanted to save his life, so she made such a decision. After returning to the palace, in order to show that his child would not compete for the throne, after giving birth to me, He brought me to Northern Xinjiang, which means that I was actually made a king when I was just born. Most people in the royal family know that my blood is impure and I am not my father’s biological son, so no one has ever known me. Worried, I will compete with them for the throne. Can you understand my explanation like this?"
King Cheng made this matter very clear, and it was impossible for Shen Qianshan not to understand, but he did not understand how this matter had anything to do with what he wanted to ask.
"If that's the case, then you should be completely unaware of what happened in the palace later. Why do you know about my mother-in-law?"
Shen Qianshan really couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart. Now the truth was right in front of him, and he could touch it if he stretched out his hand. But now, he seemed a little timid.
"You don't have to worry about anything. It's been so long. For you now, it's really not worth worrying about. But I still have to explain it to you, because after I left the palace, I was in Beijing. It is true that I stayed for a while, but when your father, my brother, was seriously ill, I did go back to Kyoto."
The mother-in-law of King Cheng must still ask to become a king when she is dying. If it is not necessary, she will never set foot in Kyoto in this life. This can be regarded as the last gratitude of the mother-in-law of King Cheng to the grandfather, allowing him to All descendants of the emperor do not have to worry about non-royal people seizing the throne.
"When my father was seriously ill?" Shen Qianshan already knew that his father was seriously ill because someone put poison in his food. The poison entered his bloodline at some point, but Theoretically, King Cheng and his mother and concubine have always been in Northern Xinjiang. This blood poison was obviously passed down from Southern Xinjiang. What does it have to do with him
"To be honest, I had a friend's brother a few days ago who was infected with this kind of grainworm. You should know this very well, because my friend's uncle was killed by your man in black. My friend was seriously injured, so he was attacked unprepared. If I remember correctly, the blood poison should have come from southern Xinjiang. Even if you returned to Kyoto at that time, it would be of little use, right?"
Shen Qianshan actually didn't mean anything else when he said this, he was just a little curious, because this matter should have nothing to do with him.
"Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but I still have to tell you that the reason why I returned to Kyoto at that time was not to cure my brother, but someone asked me to seek power and usurp the throne at that time. ,Do you understand it?"
Shen Qianshan looked at the people in front of him and said these words calmly. He was a little surprised. Is he seeking power and usurping the throne? Could it be that at that time, the person who bewitched his father didn't want to be on the throne himself
"But you are after all..." Shen Qianshan did not finish his words, but King Cheng already understood what he meant.
"I know that I am not your father's biological son, but you have to know that among your father's brothers of the same generation, apart from him, the best person is me. It was only at that time that I realized that it turned out that I have been in Beijing for so many years, and it is not a good thing to focus all my attention on business."
King Cheng was indeed not born to be an emperor. If he was suitable, he might be more suitable for business. When he was still an adult, he began to manage some of his subordinates' businesses, and gradually made many friends. His mother and concubine didn't even think that their child had talent in this area, so they began to encourage him to do these things.
Who would have known that Cheng Wang's business would get bigger and bigger, which would attract praise from everyone. Shen Qianshan's father had always been very fond of his non-biological brother, so he gave him Qiongqi's gift. Even if the token is real, the prince may not be able to get such a token. He is the only one in the world.
But just because of this, when Shen Qianshan's father was seriously ill, someone found him. What he said was quite pertinent. He said that his ability was on par with Shen Qianshan's father. Since he is now seriously ill. , I can completely replace it.
"In other words, when you entered Kyoto, you actually wanted to seek power and usurp the throne?"
"No." King Cheng shook his head, "Wanting to be an emperor is the idea of elegant people like you. What I want in my heart is to work hard to make money so that I can live a better life. What about the throne? , I don’t value it at all, I just need money.”
King Cheng's eyes were so sincere that Shen Qianshan could not argue, "Then why did you go to that place? If you don't need the throne, are you just going to cause trouble?"
"No, but my mother-in-law was still alive at that time. She told me that my life was saved by my father, and I couldn't just watch my father's empire surrender to others, so I must protect my brother."
King Cheng's mother-in-law had actually contracted the disease at that time, and all the doctors said that she probably wouldn't live long, but the person she was most grateful to in her life was her father.
"So I agreed to her and came to Kyoto."
"Then what happens next..."
King Cheng stretched himself without any warning, "I seem a little sleepy, otherwise today's story would stop here. The days are long, and I still have a long time to tell you what happened next. , this story is very long, you must be patient.”
King Cheng glanced at Shen Qianshan meaningfully, turned around and returned to his room. Shen Qianshan knew that King Cheng did not want to accept so many things at once, and also wanted to give himself a buffer time. , that’s why he did this. In this case, he shouldn’t waste his efforts.
Gu Qiang did not expect that this section of the road would be so long. Of course, he did not expect that these two little butterflies would have such perseverance. They had been flying for most of the day and did not show any sign of fatigue. Gu Qiang's physical condition She has recovered a lot, and the half-day journey is nothing to her. Just looking at the two little butterflies, it seems that she still has a long way to go. She is also a little tired, and the two little butterflies are gone. The little butterfly put it into the small bottle in his arms, walked to a tea stall on the roadside, and ordered a pot of tea.
Gu Qiang pressed her eyebrows. It had been more than a day since this happened. If the other party had been walking, he might have reached the border by this time, right
