Because Prince Gong's assassination attempt happened earlier in this life? So the person who protected Prince Gong was also replaced?
Jiang Yingying protected Prince Gong from attack in this life and won his favor. When Prince Gong knew about Jiang Yingying's life experience, he would probably make her his legal wife.
But the original Princess Gong didn't die on the spot after shielding Prince Gong from an arrow like in her previous life, leaving Jiang Yingying in the position of Princess. So how will this matter develop in this life?
Song Jiujiu was very curious and kept looking at Princess Gong who was about to cry with her eyes wide open.
Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Ye Peizhu's eyelids twitched and she had a vague guess.
However, she doesn't know whether this speculation will come true, and further investigation is needed.
"Fourth sister-in-law, didn't you also say that Prince Gong's favor for Concubine Jiang didn't last that long?
This time, it happened that Aunt Jiang blocked the arrow for Prince Gong, and she regained his favor.
But it is hard to say whether such pampering can last for a long time, so you don’t have to worry.
By the way, has the assassin who assassinated Prince Gong been caught? Do you know who sent him?
Ye Peizhu took the opportunity to change the subject.
Princess Gong shook her head. "They didn't catch him. He got away. But the assassin seemed to have left something behind when he fled. When the prince saw it, his face darkened. He must have known who was behind this."
"Then Prince Gong also didn't tell you who was behind this?"
Lu Jianan couldn't help but ask.
Princess Gong continued to shake her head, "No, the prince doesn't even want to see me, let alone tell me these things."
Ye Peizhu patted Princess Gong's arm soothingly, "Maybe Prince Gong doesn't want you to worry. Now that Prince Gong knows who is behind this, if he tells the Emperor, the Emperor might be able to help arrest him.
This will also save you from worrying about another assassin coming."
"The prince said he would not tell the emperor who the assassin was."
Princess Gong lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
Ye Peizhu's eyes flashed, "Prince Gong told you? If he doesn't tell the emperor, could it be that Prince Gong plans to find the mastermind behind the scenes and settle the score himself?
But isn't he injured? To put it bluntly, what if the mastermind behind the scenes sends another assassin to kill Prince Gong before his wound heals?
"I overheard the prince talking to his guards. He said that even if we told the emperor who the murderer was, he would not intervene in the matter.
It would be better for him to find a way to solve this problem himself."
After Princess Gong finished speaking, she bit her lip and looked at Ye Peizhu and Lu Jianan with some uneasiness.
"Third Sister-in-law, Madam Prime Minister, can you keep what I just said a secret?
After all, these were words I overheard, and I don’t want the prince to know that I overheard him talking.
Otherwise, the prince will definitely ignore me even more."
"Of course, we will keep it a secret, don't worry."
Ye Peizhu and Lu Jiannan made a promise and talked about other things with Princess Gong.
After sitting for a while, Ye Peizhu hugged her daughter and Lu Jiannan and planned to leave.
"Princess Gong, you can come over and sit with me when you are free, or play with Jiuer."
Ye Peizhu took the initiative to invite, and Princess Gong reluctantly held the little chubby hand and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay! I will definitely go!"
Several people left Prince Gong's Mansion together, and Lu Jiannan still followed Prince Kang's family back to Prince Kang's Mansion.
Prime Minister Leng Zhuning returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.
It wasn't too late at this time. Prince Kang went to the study, and Lu Jianan sat in the inner room with Ye Peizhu and Xiao Naibao.
Lu Jiannan looked worried when he came out of Prince Gong's Mansion, which was easy to understand.
After Ye Peizhu coaxed her daughter to sleep, she couldn't help but ask her.
"Jianan, what's wrong with you? Do you want to say something?"
Lu Jianan pursed his lips, a hesitant look appearing on his thin face.
"Peizhu, I actually heard something about Prince Gong's Mansion, but I don't know whether I should tell you.
And I wasn’t really sure if what I heard was true.”
"It's okay, just say what you want to say. There's no need to think so much between you and me."
After hearing Ye Peizhu's words, Lu Jianan nodded and started talking.
"I heard that Princess Gong's son was not actually her own, but the son of one of Prince Gong's concubines.
Because Princess Gong was unable to bear children, Prince Gong made his concubine pregnant, thus making his illegitimate son his legitimate son.
When Princess Gong was pregnant, no one saw her. Later, Prince Gong announced to the public that Princess Gong had given birth to a legitimate son.
Upon hearing this, Ye Peizhu was truly stunned.
She really racked her brains but never imagined that this would be the case.
Combined with Princess Gong's previous behavior when facing Jiuer, and the strange look on her face when she mentioned things about Prince Gong's legitimate son.
I'm afraid the rumors Jianan told are indeed true.
"Then, why is Princess Gong unable to have children? Jianan, have you heard the reason?"
Lu Jiannan nodded and said, "I have heard of it. At that time, I had not been able to get pregnant. I heard that Princess Gong was unable to have children. I felt that I had the same problem as her, so I asked more about it.
It is said that it was the year when Princess Gong married Prince Gong. They went out for a ride on horseback, but the horse got startled and threw Princess Gong off its back.
At that time, Princess Gong's belly hit the stone on the ground hard. Later, the doctor examined Princess Gong and found that she was born infertile.
Ye Peizhu frowned slightly, "Isn't it because Princess Gong was injured that she can't have children? Is it because she was born infertile?"
"Indeed, it can be said that it was because of that injury that the examination revealed Princess Gong's congenital deficiency."
Ye Peizhu always felt something was strange when she heard it. How could such a coincidence happen?
Seeing his friend's serious expression because of what he said, Lu Jianan smiled and interrupted, "Peizhu, these things might be made up by the people who said them. Don't take them seriously. Just listen to them as a story.
I also met Princess Gong tonight, and suddenly thought of the things I had heard before."
Ye Peizhu really didn't think of these things as stories. Her intuition told her that these things were probably true!
"Jianan, where did you hear these things? Have you told anyone else?"
"Don't worry, Peizhu, I haven't told anyone else, not even the Prime Minister. I only told you.
As for this matter, a few years ago I was stopped by a beggar at the entrance of an alley in Beijing. He said he was very hungry and wanted to ask for some food. In exchange, he could tell me a secret.
I didn't expect to learn any secrets from the beggar at that time. I just bought him two buns out of kindness, and he told me this.
After listening to it, I said that he was very brave to make up stories about the prince.
He said he used to be a servant in Prince Gong's mansion and that what he said was true. After saying that, he changed his story and said he was joking.
