"Mother Gong entered the palace with my mother back then. She was left to her by my mother's biological mother, and she was also a member of the Yun family back then. What? Do you think there is something wrong with her?" Xiao Jingxi asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and then told Xiao Jingxi her suspicions when Ren Yaohua was giving birth, because she had no basis at the time, she just suspected it out of thin air, and Gong mama was the concubine's person, and she saved her life. Ren Yaohua died, so she didn't tell Xiao Jingxi.
I don't want to, but Xiao Jingxi laughed after hearing it: "So it is."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him: "But looking at my mother's attitude, this Gong mama doesn't seem to have a problem. Am I thinking too much?"
Xiao Jingxi sighed: "No, you don't think about it too much. There is indeed a problem with Gong mama, but the problem is not her."
"Oh? Who is it from?" Ren Yaoqi became more and more curious.
Xiao Jingxi pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Forget it, I should have told you about this, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. already."
Ren Yaoqi got up and brought Xiao Jingxi a cup of warm tea in person, and handed it to him: "Then you can take it slow, but mother said it, and she can come to you for any questions."
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and deliberately said, "Because your husband is already weak, and you have found your mother to support you. From now on, where is there any room for me to speak up in this family? Madam, after all, you are also Would you like to leave a point or two of thin noodles for your husband?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him sideways.
"I and Jing Lin were both delivered by Mother Gong." Xiao Jingxi had enough trouble, and finally got to the point.
Ren Yaoqi immediately grasped the point: "Only you and Jinglin were delivered by Aunt Gong? I remember last time you said that the prince was also delivered by Aunt Gong."
Xiao Jingxi smiled when he heard the words: "If I remember correctly, what I said at the time was that my elder brother was also delivered by Mother Gong."
Ren Yaoqi frowned, just wanted to ask what is the difference between these two sentences? However, before he could exit, he suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingxi in amazement.
"Sir, he... isn't your brother?"
Xiao Jingxi's hand touched Ren Yaoqi's hair lightly, and sighed softly: "The one in the capital is not, my biological brother died when my mother was still in the womb. My mother was pregnant with my brother's At that time, someone poisoned her, at that time the fetus was already formed, and it was only a dozen days away from giving birth, if it wasn't for the presence of Mama Gong, she would have almost died in one corpse."
Although Ren Yaoqi had guessed before, but guesses were guesses after all, she didn't expect the truth to be so cruel.
Ren Yaoqi unconsciously held Xiao Jingxi's hand.
Xiao Jingxi held Ren Yaoqi back and continued: "When the late emperor was still in power, he was a powerful monarch, if it wasn't for him being too strong, it wouldn't have caused the battle between the two kings in his later years. How can such a monarch tolerate the existence of the Yanbei Palace? The situation of Yanbei and the court was different from the situation of Yanbei and the court now. My great-grandfather recovered Yanbei At the beginning, the various families in Yanbei were still very powerful, and there was a faint tendency to unite and fight against the palace of Yanbei. In order to prevent a repeat of the humiliation of Yanbei’s fall under the iron cavalry of the Liao people, my great-grandfather used a lot of powerful means. It was only after these noble families were submissive that Yanbei was temporarily stabilized, so at that time, the Yanbei Palace could not confront the imperial court head-on. Even if my brother survived, the Yanbei Palace would obey the emperor's decree and send him to Kyoto as a pledge. "
"But if he is dead, then it will be you who will be sent to the court as a proton?" Ren Yaoqi frowned.
Xiao Jingxi nodded: "Yes, he died, so naturally it was the second son of King Yanbei. My mother had just lost her first child at that time, and she was in pain. Mammy Gong and Mama Xin In order to cheer her up, Mammy came up with an idea to let her say to the public that the child was not dead, find a new baby to replace it, and send him to the capital as a proton after a few years, so that her second son would be born. can be preserved.”
"I see, no wonder..." Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, "The rumor said that you gave your mother's sister's child a child, but in fact it's not. Could it be the prince? Is he your cousin?"
Xiao Jingxi twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head: "That rumor is pure nonsense. The 'Prince Son' is my mother's child of a dowry maid."
Ren Yaoqi blinked: "Then... is this 'Prince' really dead?"
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi in surprise when he heard the words, then smiled and said, "Why did you say this?"
In fact, Ren Yaoqi just asked casually, because she always felt that the prince died "at the right time" in this life or the last life, which made her think more.
"It just feels a little wrong." Ren Yaoqi said.
Xiao Jingxi tapped the tip of Ren Yaoqi's nose lightly, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you smell something wrong?"
Ren Yaoqi patted Xiao Jingxi's hand away and glared at her, don't think that she won't be able to hear it if she calls her a dog around the corner!
Xiao Jingxi sighed and shook his head, half-truthfully said: "Fortunately, you were married back to me, how can you be reassured when you leave it outside. This 'Prince' is indeed not dead, he is done After accomplishing his task, he retired. I thought this was a foolproof thing, and even the imperial court didn't notice it, but I didn't want you to 'feel' it, you say you have a bad nose?"
Ren Yaoqi ignored Xiao Jingxi's ridicule and put the topic on the right track: "Then what's the matter with the poison on your body?"
The smile on Xiao Jingxi's face faded a little: "My mother was stillborn when she gave birth to her first child, because she was poisoned, and although she was rescued by Mama Gong, the toxin was not completely eliminated. It came down with poison."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being stunned that Xiao Jingxi was poisoned when the princess was pregnant with him! She knows some medical theory, and naturally understands that this kind of poison brought from her mother's womb is the most difficult to solve. No wonder Xiao Jingxi has been sick for so many years. He must have suffered a lot when he was young.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Seeing the look in Ren Yaoqi's eyes, Xiao Jingxi took her into his arms and rubbed his chin lightly on her head: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm not feeling better now, and I'm a blessing in disguise, what is it now? When the poison reaches me, it won't work."
When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, he felt more and more distressed for Xiao Jingxi, and did not speak in his arms.
"Then... Has the poison been found out?" Ren Yaoqi said sullenly.
Xiao Jingxi was silent for a while before saying: "Although the Yanbei Palace is not as good as the gate of Jiajing Pass, it is not something anyone can enter if they want to come in and poison it."
Ren Yaoqi frowned when he heard the words, the people outside couldn't start, could it be someone from the Yanbei Palace
Sure enough, Xiao Jingxi then said: "The only people who had the opportunity to attack back then were the people in this mansion."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be silent when he heard the words. The person in this mansion who has the motivation and the ability to poison is either the old princess or Xiao Heng's room.
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't speak, Xiao Jingxi looked down at Ren Yaoqi, thinking of the recipe that Ren Yaoqi had held in his hand before, Xiao Jingxi lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows: "Don't worry, this kind of It is absolutely impossible for it to happen a second time, and I will not tolerate anyone hurting you and our children." Although Xiao Jingxi's voice was as gentle as always, it had the kind of determination and strength that belonged to him, as if he only wanted to send him You can do what you say, and it makes you feel very reassured.
Ren Yaoqi was quiet for a long time before asking: "Is it also because of this matter that Mama Gong went into the palace? Since Mama Gong sent the insider of the incident, it is hard to guarantee that there is no one who has the identity of the prince. Those who doubted it would use my sister's production to do everything possible to involve Mama Gong."
At that time, Ren Yaohua gave birth ahead of schedule, and they all thought it was because of Xiao Qiao's family. Now, thinking about what means might have been used to send that midwife to invite her to invite Grandma Gong, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Ren Yaohua and the child were all right in the end, otherwise...
If this is the case, then the person behind it is really sinister. How innocent Ren Yaohua and her children are! One accidentally killed one corpse and two lives.
Ren Yaoqi was still in Xiao Jingxi's arms, and Xiao Jingxi naturally felt Ren Yaoqi's emotions, so he could not help holding her and patted her on the back lightly, comforting: "Don't worry, I will find someone to go there. Check it out. If there are people behind the scenes, I will never let them go."
Ren Yaoqi sighed and said "um".
Xiao Jingxi took out the recipe given by Madam Gong from Ren Yaoqi's sleeve: "Although Madam Gong is not a doctor, she is better than many famous doctors when it comes to women giving birth. Little, since she gave you the recipe, you can eat it."
Ren Yaoqi blushed slightly, snatched the house and put it back in his sleeve pocket, whispering, "I don't like taking medicine, so let me go!"
Xiao Jingxi's ear was so powerful that he gently broke Ren Yaoqi's face and said with a smile, "Madam, what are you muttering about?"
Ren Yaoqi disregarded his face and was deformed by Xiao Jingxi's mischievous hand, and said in a vague voice: "I said that the potted plant in your study smells like Chinese medicine! What kind of water are you pouring on it! "
Xiao Jingxi didn't change his face when he heard the words: "This is a new variety that I have brought back from Yunnan. It needs to be watered with potion to survive."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help rolling his eyes, reached out and pinched Xiao Jingxi's face, the two of you pinched me and I pinched you, the face was deformed, so naive: "My father also planted a lot of flowers and plants, you Don't think I don't know what kind of grass it is! You're bullshitting..."
Before Ren Yaoqi finished speaking, Xiao Jingxi came over and quickly blocked Ren Yaoqi's lips.
