Mrs. He had previously hinted that there were some secrets involved in this matter, but Su Yao had never imagined that there was such a secret involved.
Is Qi Yunxi crazy? !
Because she saved the Empress, her future was bright. At that time, Empress Hu was firmly in the throne of the Central Empress, and she and Emperor Yuanfeng treated each other with respect and had a deep relationship.
As long as she stays there peacefully, wealth and glory will be within her reach.
But she actually seduced Emperor Yuanfeng.
Old Madam Su's tone also darkened: "Not long after this happened, the Empress fell ill, and the matter was left unresolved. The Empress didn't pay much attention to the Emperor until her death..."
This incident was the beginning of all misfortunes for both Mrs. He and the Su family.
The emperor and the empress had irreconcilable conflicts, and eventually, the empress died with hatred in her heart.
The former crown prince once went to Emperor Yuanfeng to plead for mercy, but he didn't know what he said, which angered Emperor Yuanfeng, and from then on there was a rift between father and son.
"I just don't know what she's after." Mrs. He hated this person whom she jokingly called "Aunt" as much as she liked her in the past. "Why did she have to go down the wrong path when she could have lived a decent life?"
After saying this, Mrs. He was upset: "It's all because of her that the Queen's illness is getting worse and worse..."
Su Yao suddenly asked them: "Grandma, grandma, have you never doubted Qi Yunxi's background?"
Background? Mrs. Su and Mrs. He looked at each other, both of them were a little confused. After they reacted, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Mrs. He was the first to ask: "What background? Didn't they say that she is a branch of the Qi family?"
It was also because of this that Emperor Yuanfeng respected her very much, because she had saved the queen and was a descendant of the Zhennan Palace, and raised her in the palace almost like a princess.
After hearing this, Su Yao had already reached a conclusion in his mind.
She snorted, and the last doubts in her heart also collapsed. She said expressionlessly: "How did she, a lonely girl, survive in the chaotic times? How could she save the queen by chance?"
This matter was a lie and a trap from beginning to end.
She remembered that when she was about to die in her previous life, she heard Miss Mu San, who was Mrs. Li at the time, bring news from Xiao Heng.
In the letter that Xiao Heng and the fifth prince sent to the court, they listed the crimes of Prince Zhuang, one of which was that he colluded with the treacherous concubine and the relatives of the deposed Emperor Empress Li, killed the late Empress, the late Crown Prince and the Guangping Marquisate, and framed loyal and good people.
In this life, Su Yao originally thought that with many things changing, King Zhuang should not have the opportunity to collude with the so-called treacherous concubine's family.
But she increasingly felt that things were not that simple.
Because all signs indicate that even King Zhuang is just a puppet and a pawn in these people's plans.
In this case, we can imagine something bolder.
Su Yao looked at Old Mrs. Su and Mrs. He, who were too shocked to speak, and told them about Shenjia Village with an expressionless face.
Mrs. He was a little bit unbelievable. After she realized what Su Yao meant, she almost lost her composure and asked, "Yaoyao, are you thinking too much? You know, this could be..."
If the body that died in Shenjia Village was the girl from the Qi family, then... then who are the current Qi Yunxi and Qi Shi? !
Su Yao's fingers paused, and then he changed the direction of the daffodils on the windowsill, raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Whether it is true or not, we will know soon."
But even after she said that, Mrs. He couldn't calm down at all.
Because she was horrified to find that many inexplicable things could be explained if they were combined with the possibility mentioned by Su Yao.
For example, Queen Hu was so good to Qi Yunxi, why did Qi Yunxi still choose to go the long way and take a path that was obviously more difficult
For example, why did Qi Yunxi not show any grief over the deaths of Queen Hu and the late Crown Prince
She opened her mouth and let out a low sigh after a while: "Oh my God!"
Mrs. He went back in a state of anxiety. Mrs. Su looked at Su Yao with hesitation. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but ask Su Yao: "If the Sun family doesn't take action..."
"No." Su Yao knew what her grandmother was worried about, and said softly, "The road has been paved, there is no reason for them not to go."
Sun Wencai was recuperating at home. Because his injuries were so severe, he had a very hard time this year. He had to wait until after the Lantern Festival before he could get up and walk. Also, because he was injured in such cold weather, he left behind a chronic illness and he would get a headache when the wind blew.
What is more troublesome than the injury is that his studies have also been affected. He has fallen behind on the homework assigned by his teacher, and his temper has become very bad recently. Today, because the weather is good, he can finally go out and bask in the sun, but he sees his father walking outside in a hurry. He can't help but open his eyes wide and call out "Dad".
Sun Yongning was walking out with a gloomy face. When he heard the voice, he looked over and saw that it was him basking in the sun. His expression relaxed and he smiled a little. He walked up to him, touched his head and asked him, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better." Sun Wencai looked up at his father and asked him, "Are you going out?"
Since resigning from office, Sun Wencai suddenly became silent and spent most of his time at home. This was probably the quietest and most lonely year Sun Wencai had ever lived in as far as he could remember.
He had always felt that his father lost his job because of him, and he felt very guilty. Now that he saw his father was about to go out, he thought that his father was going to make connections - he had heard from his subordinates before that Sun Yongning seemed to be seeking to return to the court recently.
He felt a little uneasy: "Dad, it's all my fault..."
Sun Yongning had always been tolerant of his son, especially since he was not to blame for this incident, and he could not bear to see him blaming himself so much. He shook his head to comfort him and said, "This is none of your business. Don't worry, it's nothing. Father has something to do. Just rest and recover. If you are tired, go back and rest early."
He is not trying to find connections just to make a comeback. As long as Xu Shun still has the final say in the cabinet, who else can make decisions for him
His top priority now is to bring down the Xu family first.
And now, he has caught this handle.
He sent his son away, hurried out, got on the sedan chair, and went straight to the official residence of Prime Minister Yang Bo.
Prime Minister Yang was at home on a day off today. When he heard that it was him, he couldn't help but tease him, "It's really rare. Yongning, with your personality, I thought you would stay at home and not come out. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded this time."
"Prime Minister!" Sun Yongning said excitedly, "I have something to tell you. It's about the Xu family! Maybe this is our chance!"
