Gu Qingcheng and Min Huang guessed many possibilities, but even though they were extremely smart and knowledgeable, they never imagined that the truth would be like this.

What is a superfluous son?

Could it be that——

"Mother, did you give birth to twins?"

Min Huang could no longer remain calm, and his voice was trembling.

"……Um!"

The birth of “that year” was definitely the biggest secret in Concubine Xie’s heart.

Sometimes, she didn't even dare to think about it.

No matter how confused she was, she knew that this was a matter of life and death.

If it were to be revealed, he, his mother’s family involved, and even his son might all die!

However, now that she had said it, Concubine Xie had the courage to "throw it all out".

Seeing that Concubine Xie really nodded and replied with a "hmm", Gu Qingcheng and Min Huang were even more speechless.

Min Huang couldn't find his own voice. I have a twin brother?

After all, Gu Qingcheng is not a party involved, so she can still maintain her rationality and calmness.

Of course, in order to demonstrate the “concern leads to confusion”, Gu Qingcheng still had an expression of shock and astonishment on her face.

Her voice trembled as she confirmed again, "Mother, did you give birth to twins back then?"

"Yes! But, everyone in the palace says that twins are taboo in the royal family. If you give birth to twins, not only will you not gain any merit, but you might also anger the late emperor!"

"Even your uncle asked people to inquire around, and they all said that having twins is not a good omen, so either they all have to be destroyed, or only one can be kept!"

When Concubine Xie talked about what happened back then, even though twenty years had passed, she still had an excellent memory.

Thinking of the child who was taken away at birth, Concubine Xie also felt heartbroken.

Her tears flowed down, "I don't want to do this either! But I'm afraid! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if this gets exposed, all three of us will die!"

Min Huang's eyes went dark: Such an extremely stupid woman is actually my biological mother.

Gu Qingcheng also seemed to be shocked, and had completely lost her usual calmness.

She even asked back with a hint of anger, "Who said twins are ominous?"

"Even in the royal family, having many children means more blessings!"

"Also, not only in the Great Jing Dynasty, but in all dynasties, there is no record in history books of a single case of someone being punished for having twins!"

Gu Qingcheng's words were not entirely meant to set a trap for Concubine Xie.

That's the truth.

In the Celestial Empire, there is no such thing as the unknown birthdate of twins, at least there is no record of it in history books.

On the contrary, the history books of some dynasties even recorded that XX princes and royal family members gave birth to twins and were commended by the emperor and empress!

Well, to put it another way, even if the emperor had twin sons, there would be concerns that this would create hidden dangers when choosing an heir.

But, what was Concubine Xie's position back then? Just an unfavored beauty.

Not one of the four concubines, nor a queen.

Her son is naturally not competitive.

What is Min Huang's ranking?

Jiulang! Min Huang has eight older brothers.

What's more, the prince was still alive at that time.

At most, the twins Min and Huang might be excluded from the list of heirs to the throne, but they can still become wealthy princes.

As a result, because of Concubine Xie's ignorance, she sent one of them away.

etc!

Send away?

Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and the couple asked in unison, "Mother, where is the child?"

If the child who was sent away could be found, it would prove that Concubine Xie not only gave birth to a son, but gave birth to two in one go!

That child is a living witness.

"Dead, dead!"

Concubine Xie stammered in reply.

Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng's eyes turned cold in an instant.

Min Huang squeezed out the following words from between his teeth: "Did you send someone to 'deal' with it?"

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Min Huang used to think his biological mother was stupid, but he never imagined that his own mother had such a "murderous and decisive" side.

"No! I didn't!"

Concubine Xie waved her hands hurriedly. This time, she didn't feel guilty. "I just want to take the child out of the palace. Your uncle has already helped me find a family. It's on a farm outside the capital."

"But, but, it's all the fault of that dog slave Chen Gui. It was his first time and he had no experience. He hid the child in the food box without leaving a crack. He only discovered it after leaving the palace. The child, the child—"

"He was frightened when he saw the child dead. He left the food box outside the Xie family's gate and ran away!"

"I was also afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I reported it to Chen Gui as 'sudden death'."

Concubine Xie tried her best to defend herself, but she didn't know that her words made Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng, two bigwigs in the government, feel dizzy.

Such an obvious loophole, and Concubine Xie actually let it go?

Even if you don't want to kill the person to silence him, you must keep him under your control!

Well, Concubine Xie is in the palace and has no freedom.

But what about the Xie family?

How come they are all idiots in the same family?

No one thought of finding Chen Gui and then—

This is giving the Queen Mother a big handle for nothing.

I believe that when the Queen Mother chose to register the prince, she had already found out about this matter.

Maybe, they had already captured Chen Gui and kept him secretly, just waiting for this fierce blow today!

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger boiling in his chest, Min Huang continued to ask, "Besides Chen Gui, uncle, who else knows about this?"

Witness!
