Prince Qing was not dissatisfied with Shen Qianshan's arrival. He just felt that it was inappropriate for brothers who had not seen each other for many years to talk about these things when they met.
He was not a person who cared about brotherly feelings before, but later he made some changes. He also felt that attaching importance to feelings in some things was not necessarily a bad thing, so after leaving the capital, he had a lot of concerns about many things. Consider.
"In these years of staying outside, I have discovered many things that I have never seen before. There are many things that are quite interesting. It's a pity that those of you who often stay in the capital can only come out occasionally."
"Brother Huang, actually I just want to know the truth about these things. If it really involves Brother Huang's privacy, I don't have to ask. But this matter is still very important to me now. If Brother Huang really If it’s difficult, I won’t force it.”
Shen Qianshan knew that he should not have disturbed his stable life, but in the end he still felt unwilling to do so. He felt that the truth was clearly within reach, but he still failed to get the clues smoothly, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Is your friend very important to you? Does he also care about his life experience?"
Prince Qing hasn't figured out what's going on yet, and he doesn't know if the friend Shen Qianshan mentioned may be related to Shen Zhongbai. He now has his own family and a stable life, and of course he doesn't want to do anything to make him happy. His family was in danger for once, so no matter what, he would not take the risk.
If this matter had nothing to do with Shen Zhongbai, he might still be able to help. The premise was to ensure that all his family members were safe. Although he was not in the capital, he also knew the situation of King Cheng at that time. Not only was his wife and children separated, but Young children now have no one they can trust.
"Of course I care. If a person has lived in this world for so many years without any reason, and sees that others have relatives and friends, but he is alone, of course he will feel uncomfortable. That is because of this, plus this person My friend’s life experience is somewhat related to mine, so I want to help him.”
Shen Qianshan still didn't give up. At least at this moment, he didn't want to let go so easily. Prince Qing was obviously the one who told the truth, but he wanted to clear up the relationship, so he was reluctant to tell it. He only had to promise No one will know about this except himself, and he might open his mouth to help him.
"What you said makes sense. It's just that it's not your own business after all. It's best not to be so heartbroken. If your friend does something sorry for you in the future, you might regret helping today. he."
"Since we have already said that we are friends, I definitely don't have any worries in this regard. If Brother Huang is afraid that I will leak the news and people outside will know that you helped me and embarrass you, I can assure you that although The person sitting on the throne now is Shen Zhongbai, but if he wants to move, I won't be able to do it that easily. "
After all, at this time, Shen Zhongbai didn't know the existence of Chang Lan. If he had been here for a while, Prince Qing might not be able to bear it, so he told himself this.
"Really want to know that much?"
"Of course, I've already come here. Of course, I won't go back until I get the truth. Anyway, I live here, and the emperor won't care about food and accommodation."
"I remember you were quite honest before, why have you become so arrogant now? You are starting to learn how to cheat."
"I have always felt that I should abide by common sense, but later I discovered that sometimes things can be done successfully if you don't follow the rules, so I started to break the rules. I don't know if it is because of my princess, but now I am successful in doing things. The probability is much higher than before.”
Shen Qianshan also briefly talked about what happened to him recently and what he thought and heard. Prince Qing was just an ordinary businessman now. Without the identity of a prince, he seemed to have become more free.
"It seems that if I don't tell you, you won't be ready to leave?"
"certainly."
"Well then, I can tell you the life experience of your friend, but the rest is up to you. I can tell you very clearly that your friend is not my child. My children are now with me. Since I chose to keep them near the capital, I have already anticipated such a day. "
"But according to the results of my investigation, this friend of mine should be the emperor's brother..."
"Then let me tell you why I left the capital at that time."
Prince Qing actually had no intention of competing for the throne. At that time, their brothers were still relatively close friends, so there was no fierce conflict. However, there were some things that they could not predict in advance, such as the relationship between Prince Qing and Prince Qing. The eldest prince will fall in love with a woman at the same time.
"I was still young at that time, and even though I didn't know much about it, I still knew that the incident was very violent, and Brother Huang left because of it."
"But it can't be considered a big contradiction. It's just that the woman was really a good girl, and she later became a queen."
Speaking of which, Shen Qianshan already understood very well. It seemed that the person they both fell in love with at the same time was the Queen Mother, but Shen Qianshan didn't think that Queen Mother was that good. Last time, she almost fell in love with her. Killing Gu Qiang, a woman who was so ruthless, was not a good person at all in his eyes.
"It's not the current queen mother, but the queen at that time. Shen Zhongbai's so-called biological mother did not get the position of queen. She only achieved the position she has today because of his outstanding son."
"The so-called biological mother?"
Shen Qianshan pays great attention to the key points when he obeys. No matter who he is, he will definitely think more about this sentence, right
Isn't Shen Zhongbai's biological mother the Queen Mother
I no longer lived in the palace at that time, and I really didn't know much about these things. However, Prince Qing was not young at that time, so if he said it, it should be quite credible.
"Don't you think it's incredible? Anything can happen in the palace. Of course, I didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai would become like this despite having such a good mother."
Prince Qing looked at Shen Qianshan and continued to speak thoughtfully.
"She had already promised to be my princess, but later, the eldest emperor fought for her love. I was young and vigorous at that time, how could I possibly swallow this? Naturally, I had to compete, that is In this way, the conflict between me and the eldest brother became more and more intense."
"Of course my father was more optimistic about the eldest brother, so in the end the girl became his crown princess, and later also became the queen. Because of this incident, I was considered by the royal family to not love the country and love the beauty, and it was not nice to me. He talked more and more, so I left.”
But at that time, there was far more than just these things happening in the palace.
Shen Zhongbai is not the biological son of the current empress dowager at all, but the son of the previous empress.
"How much do you remember about the palace change?"
"I have a vague memory, but I don't remember it very clearly. The emperor seemed to have left at that time, right?"
Shen Qianshan actually has no impression of the previous queen. He doesn't care about it at all, so now his impressions are vague, and he just vaguely remembers such a person.
"Yes, at that time someone wanted to harm the queen, so the queen entrusted her child to me. The child was a full year younger than Shen Zhongbai, but I couldn't take him away."
Prince Qing had a lot of helplessness at that time. Although Shen Qianshan didn't know the specific situation, he also knew that if he had the ability to take Chang Lan away, he would not leave it in Yunzhong Valley.
"This friend of yours should live in Yunzhong Valley, right? It's just that I didn't put him there. I entrusted him to a business friend at first. He is very reliable and often goes to sea. His name is Chang Tao. He tried his best to raise the child for more than half a year, but unexpectedly he was discovered. "
"Discovered? Is someone trying to harm the Queen and his child?"
"Of course, and I am very suspicious now that the person who wants to kill the queen is most likely the current queen mother. She has no children, but if she kills the queen, it will be logical for her to adopt Shen Zhongbai into his own palace. , she can have such a status today.”
Prince Qing seemed to be very disdainful of this woman, but he still didn't say much. After all, he had been away for many years, and he didn't know much about the things in the capital and the palace. If he made any wild guesses, It is very likely to mislead Shen Qianshan.
"That means Chang Lan was actually named by your friend?"
"Yes, he was quite interesting, but in the end he was still in trouble. It was not convenient for me to come forward at that time. Once I came forward, people would find out. It would be even more unsafe for him to raise the child with me, and it would be even more unsafe for him. My family was also very insecure, so I came up with this idea.”
Shen Qianshan has almost completely understood that the place in Yunzhong Valley has been photographed by so many people but has not been found. Logically speaking, if it is an ordinary enemy, he may not be able to get into that place by luck, let alone deliberately. Hiding the child there, no one can find it.
"Brother Huang is indeed much smarter than I thought, but why did you turn a blind eye to this child later on?"
Shen Qianshan is still very surprised by this matter. After all, he is the child of someone he once liked...
