It is impossible for a woman like Concubine Rong to say that she has no secrets. For example, the dead man, the ghost king, and the king Yin are all her ulterior secrets, but she can tell Qiao Wei intuitively that the secrets that the prince said do not belong to any of the above. kind.
What could it be
Having said that, would an ignorant little dandy like the prince really know any great secrets? Don't play house like a child, it's just a small account of old sesame seeds and rotten millet.
"Why don't you go?"
The prince walked a few steps, saw that Qiao Wei hadn't followed, turned his head, and looked at Qiao Wei expressionlessly, "You don't want to know?"
Qiao Wei looked him up and down, a prince who was almost choked to death by a ball, why did his style of painting suddenly look a little wrong
"Why do you always look at me?" The prince said slightly uneasy, being looked at uncomfortably.
Qiao Wei walked over slowly, squinted her eyes and said: "I was thinking, you are a bit weird today, you must be controlled by Concubine Rong, right? Deliberately lead me somewhere so as to force me to take the bait of?"
The prince said coldly: "If you don't want to listen, forget it!"
Qiao Wei grabbed his sleeve: "Hey, I don't want to hear it! It's just that you have to say it here! I won't go to some messy little forest with you!"
The prince ignored her, turned around and left.
Qiao Wei tugged lightly and pulled his sleeves off.
Looking at the half-cut sleeve in his hand, a thought flew through his mind—
The prince broke his sleeve...
Broken sleeves...
sleeves...
The prince pulled back his sleeves and walked towards the East Palace with a sullen face.
Qiao Wei stepped forward a few steps, stopped him and said, "Don't go, you've already come to me, wouldn't you panic if you don't finish talking? I suspect that you are not unreasonable, that woman is more capable than you imagined It's a thousand times more powerful, and your father didn't know what kind of shit luck he had, and he wasn't controlled by her, but you can't say it!"
There was a trace of uncertainty on the prince's face.
"Forget it, let's not talk about pulling down!"
This time, it was Joe's boss who took Joe.
The family has raised four furry children including the little bastard, and she still can't deal with a stinky prince? !
Qiao Wei walked forward without looking back.
The prince looked at Qiao Wei's back, and seemed to be judging whether Qiao Wei was cheating on him.
Of course Qiao Wei was cheating on him, but Qiao Wei was not impatient. At this juncture, whoever is impatient will lose.
She is not good at fighting with literature and martial arts, and she is not good at fighting with psychological quality, and she has not dumped this group of people
Qiao Wei took one step at a faster pace, turning the corner without hesitation, the prince pinched the fingers buried under the wide sleeve, and finally compromised: "Okay, let's say it here."
A triumphant smile flashed across Qiao Wei's eyes, and after pressing down the corners of her raised lips, Qiao Wei turned around solemnly and looked at him calmly: "Go over there and talk."
It refers to the nearby orchard, which Fu Ling led someone to search just now, and no one will search here again in a short time.
The two entered the orchard, and stopped under a lush orange tree. The prince had a handsome face that was much younger than his actual age. He was a young child, but when he stood by the orange tree, his head was pushed into the canopy of the tree, and Qiao Wei realized that he was actually very tall.
About three to five parts of his appearance were inherited from the emperor, and the other part was roughly like the empress who had passed away.
The prince frowned displeasedly: "Why do you keep staring at me today?"
Qiao Wei snorted and said, "It's just looking at you, not because of you, why are you nervous?"
The prince was so choked that he took a deep breath.
Qiao Wei got down to business: "Tell me, what secret does Concubine Rong have? You'd better not fool me with such trivial matters, otherwise, my fists will be very hard!"
The prince glanced at Qiao Wei speechlessly, took a deep breath, and talked about the secret of the year without fussing with the woman.
At that time, the first empress was still alive, and she sang with the emperor's qin and se, raising their eyebrows on a case-by-case basis.
But the emperor is the emperor after all, and it is obviously impossible for him to be a couple for life like a folk man. However, the queen is the wife he is currently marrying, and he has known him since childhood. He treats the queen differently from other women. In the harem, there was once a time when many women were jealous of each other, but whenever the queen was involved, the emperor suppressed it with thunderous means.
Gradually, all the women in the harem realized that the Queen's position was unshakable, so they stopped struggling in vain.
At that time, the emperor stayed in Fengqi Palace for most of the days of each month, and occasionally went to other concubines, but not too much, until... Concubine Rong appeared.
When Concubine Rong was young, she was considered a pretty beauty, but in the harem, the most indispensable thing was beauty. The reason why the emperor noticed Concubine Rong was at the Queen's birthday banquet.
The emperor wanted to give the queen a special banquet, so he took all the civil and military officials to the hunting ground, put a silver fox in the snow mountain in the forest, and threatened that whoever catches the silver fox and presents it to the queen will get gold. Ten thousand taels, one thousand hectares of fertile land.
Judging from the emperor's generosity, he really doted on the queen at that time.
The civil and military officials were dispatched one after another, but they might not really want to get the reward, but the harder they behaved, the more they won the emperor's heart. Those old and cunning civil servants would not let go of such a good opportunity to flatter.
Some concubines from families of generals were eager to try, and the emperor readily agreed to celebrate the queen's birthday. Naturally, the more people the better.
The emperor himself also went.
At that time, the emperor was in his prime, hunting in the hunting ground was no big deal, not to mention it was not killing, it was just a cunning little fox.
But the emperor underestimated the danger of the hunting ground. He missed the silver fox, but met a fierce tiger, which threw him off the horse.
The emperor broke his leg on the spot, and the nearby guards rushed towards him immediately when they heard the movement, but it was still a step too late, and the tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit the emperor viciously!
Before long, a cold arrow flew over like lightning, stabbing the tiger's body straight, and the tiger was immediately overturned to the ground by this huge force.
The tiger was completely enraged, and flew towards the person who shot him. Just at this time, the guards arrived and subdued the tiger together.
The person who saved the emperor, needless to say, was Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was not a concubine at that time, but just a little nobleman. She was sitting on the horseback, with a heroic appearance, which instantly brightened the eyes of the emperor who was used to seeing vulgar fans.
After this incident, Concubine Rong was favored. In less than a year, she was promoted to three ranks and became Rong Zhaoyi.
A year later, Rong Zhaoyi gave birth to King Yin and was registered as Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong's position in the harem has stabilized. Of course, no matter how stable she is, she must not disobey the queen. In the emperor's heart, the queen is still the only master of the harem.
The prince was born when King Yin was three or four years old. All the above was heard by the prince from the mouths of other palace officials.
Based on Qiao Wei's understanding of Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong probably came here by herself to attract the attention of the emperor.
The Prince did not mention the relationship between Concubine Rong and the Empress.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, wondering: "The secret of Concubine Rong you want to tell me, isn't it about the fierce tiger back then?"
The prince glanced at her: "Of course not, I just give you a buffer so that you can get a general idea of what she is like, so don't be shocked by what happens next."
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "Well, after being shot by Concubine Rong and sent out two dead men to chase her down, you really should give me a little buffer so that I can understand her."
The prince's mouth twitched.
What he said later was really on point.
When the crown prince was three years old, the queen passed away. The emperor mistakenly thought that Concubine Rong had poisoned the queen, and put Concubine Rong in the cold palace.
This incident caused quite a stir in the harem. Everyone knows that the queen is very fond of her, but Concubine Rong is not bad. The emperor actually put the concubine who had been spoiled for so many years into the cold palace for the sake of a dead person.
Concubine Rong fell out of favor, and even King Yin became the mud under the feet of thousands of people. The life of mother and son was not easy.
The prince would visit them occasionally, and the word here was literal. He was standing far behind a tree, with a pair of black and shiny eyes. Brother Huang killed them, so he just wanted to see these two people, purely.
He was small in stature, and sneaked out of the dog's hole while the palace servants were asleep in the middle of the night.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, that's what he is talking about.
If you were a child from another family, how would you dare to hang out in the middle of the night? So it is not unreasonable to say that the royal family has good genes.
On a dark and windy night, the prince went to the cold palace to monitor Concubine Rong's mother and son as usual. He saw a man walking into the palace. The man was very tall, even taller than his father.
He was ignorant at that time, and he didn't know that normal men other than the emperor father were not allowed to enter and leave the harem, so he watched the other party enter the bedroom, and after a while, the other party came out, with Concubine Rong standing beside him.
Concubine Rong seemed very sad, leaning against the man's arms, sobbing, while being led somewhere by the man.
Concubine Rong still held a... swaddling baby in her arms.
The man took Concubine Rong to a desolate back mountain.
There is a dug hole in the back mountain, and a small coffin that I didn't know what it was at the time, but I realized it later.
The man took the swaddling baby from Concubine Rong's arms and put it in the small coffin, then put the coffin into the dug earth pit and buried it one spade at a time.
Concubine Rong covered her face and cried for a long time.
The prince didn't understand what she was crying for. The man hugged her and said something the prince couldn't understand, but from the prince's point of view, he seemed to be comforting her gently.
After they left, the prince ran to the place where the two of them were buried, trying to dig out the thing, but his little hands hurt, and he didn't dig a hole.
When this incident happened, the prince was only three years old, logically he shouldn't have remembered it, and he really didn't take it to heart.
Of course the crown prince still doesn't know how to remember the date, it was only when he grew up later that he bumped into a man and concubine Rong to burn paper for someone, the crown prince remembered it deeply.
"So you still have the quirk of voyeurism?" Qiao Wei hugged her small breasts vigilantly, "Be honest, did you ever peep at me changing clothes when I went to the mountain for dinner!"
The prince said coldly: "This prince has told you so much, is this your main point?"
As he said that, he turned his face away, "You didn't close the door yourself, is it my fault?"
Qiao Wei really beat him to death!
How many mushroom soups have I made for him, is this how he repays himself? !
Qiao Wei showed her fist and was about to beat his head out of the bag.
"However, your figure is really good. I have never seen a woman who is better than you."
Qiao Wei's fists stopped, she gathered the hair on her shoulders, straightened her proud small chest, put one hand on her waist without a trace of fat, and said arrogantly: "Continue to talk!"
The prince said seriously: "The skin is also good, even better than Concubine Lian's."
Qiao Wei asked indifferently: "Who is Concubine Lian?" She must be a peerless beauty in the palace!
"My dog." The prince said.
Boom!
There was a big bag on the crown prince's head.
…
After that, Qiao Wei asked about the man's appearance, and from what the prince said, the man had a very close relationship with Concubine Rong. The first thing Qiao Wei thought of was the ghost king. She found a branch and drew the ghost king's mask: "Is it like this?"
"Yes." The prince said while touching his aching head.
Qiao Wei murmured: "In this way, it can be ruled out that he is Concubine Rong's son."
"What did you say?" The prince didn't hear clearly.
Qiao Wei explained: "It's nothing, I just happened to meet this person, his face is so ugly, I can't tell his age, I guess he is Concubine Rong's illegitimate son."
"Unbelievably ugly?" The prince frowned, "No, his appearance is very handsome. One time, he took off his mask, and I saw it, and I was very surprised at that time."
Qiao Wei was stunned: "How handsome?"
The prince thought for a while: "It's not as good as fourth uncle, but it's not worse than King Yin."
Not worse than King Yin? That looks really handsome.
"Isn't that man you've seen the ghost king?" Qiao Wei murmured suspiciously, the ghost king's face, which was enough to scare people to death, had nothing to do with Jun Yi.
The prince spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
Qiao Wei waved her hand: "Forget it, let's not mention this for now, do you remember where the coffin was buried?"
"I just wanted you to see it."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Did you let me tell you?"
The two bickered all the way, and soon reached the place where the coffin was buried.
It is not far from Lenggong, and there are few people around here. It is rumored that for a while, the emperor wanted to break ground and transform this place into a garden, but all the masters who came to measure it saw a ghost, and they were bedridden when they returned home. , the emperor thought it was bad luck, so he didn't move his mind here.
Needless to say, that ghost was played by Concubine Rong and that mysterious man in order to scare away the craftsmen and protect the coffin underground.
The prince went to the tool room to find two shovels, and together with Qiao Wei, he dug out the small coffin from the ground.
Qiao Wei jumped down and easily pulled out the iron nails on the coffin.
The prince looked at the tools in his hands that he hadn't had time to use, and twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely.
Qiao Wei opened the coffin, and a strong smell of corpse came to her nostrils. Qiao Wei covered her nose. Although she didn't believe in evil, it didn't smell very good.
After the corpse's breath dissipated, Qiao Wei untied the big red cloth covering the corpse, revealing a faded swaddle, and inside the swaddle lay the skeleton of a baby.
Before the newborn was born, the size of the fontanel was less than two knuckles. Judging from the opening and closing of the fontanel and the length of the skeleton, it was either a newborn child or a fetus that was not born in time.
"This isn't your father's child, is it?" Qiao Wei asked.
The prince snorted, "How is it possible? She had been sidelined for a year when she buried the coffin."
So it's the child of Concubine Rong and that mysterious person? Ha, this is interesting, if the emperor knows that a green grassland has grown above his head, I wonder if he will continue to protect Concubine Rong like this.
"Eh? There's something on his neck." The prince took off a red rope from the skeleton, and a piece of broken jade pendant was tied to one end of the rope. Judging from the dull cut, it looked as if it had been broken by a human being.
Qiao Wei suddenly thought of the half jade pendant on the Ghost King—
It is the child of the ghost king, and the man back then was the ghost king!
