"Yes, that's why the princess and the prince sent people to look for you. We want to know the truth of what happened back then."
Ye Peizhu did not hide it and admitted it.
“What I told the Prime Minister’s wife back then only concealed the real reason why Princess Gong was unable to have children.
I was just afraid that the Prime Minister's wife would let the secret slip to others and bring Prince Gong into the hunt.
My Lord and Princess, everything I said is true. It was indeed Prince Gong who did all this!
The man kowtowed to show that what he said was true.
"Alright, I trust you. Besides this, do you know anything else about Prince Gong?
For example, why did Prince Gong want to make Princess Gong unable to have children, and why did he want to replace the legitimate son with a concubine's son? And what do you know about Concubine Jiang in Prince Gong's mansion?"
King Kang asked one by one.
"Your Majesty, I do not know Prince Gong's intentions, but Prince Gong is very fond of Concubine Zhao, who gave birth to a bastard son.
On the contrary, Prince Gong has always been very cold towards Princess Gong.
As for Concubine Jiang, I only know that she was an orphan. Prince Gong doted on her for a while after bringing her into the mansion, but when a new woman came into the mansion, Concubine Jiang fell out of favor.
"What's Aunt Jiang's personality like?"
Ye Peizhu asked.
"My princess, Concubine Jiang treats us very well. She has a gentle temperament and is not one to bully others. When Prince Gong sent someone to beat me to death, Concubine Jiang even came forward to beg for my life."
When the man mentioned Aunt Jiang, his tone was obviously different.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu exchanged a glance, "I understand, are you willing to stay in the palace?
Now that you have come to my Prince Kang's Mansion, I'm afraid Prince Gong's spies have been discovered.
If Prince Gong knew you were still alive, he would probably have someone hunt you down.
If you stay in the palace, I can protect you and you won't have to suffer from the cold, hunger, and fear outside. "
The man was very surprised and agreed without any hesitation.
"I am willing! I am willing to serve you like a slave! Thank you so much for saving my life!"
The man shouted and kowtowed several times.
King Kang called the steward in to take the man away and make him a good settler.
When only Prince Kang and his wife were left in the room, Ye Peizhu spoke.
"Your Majesty, what do you think about the Prince Gong Mansion?
Prince Gong has probably already figured out how to deal with us, so we should find a way to fight back."
Prince Kang frowned and rubbed his chin, "Madam, do you think that if Princess Gong knew the truth, her attitude towards Prince Gong would change?
Also, Madam had said before, Jiuer had mentioned in her heart that in the previous life, Princess Gong died after blocking an arrow for Prince Gong, making room for Concubine Jiang in the position of Princess Gong.
It just so happened that Prince Gong knew about Concubine Jiang's background and promoted her to be his legal wife.
But in this life, the person who shielded Prince Gong from the arrows became Concubine Jiang, and Prince Gong's wife is still sitting in the position of Princess. If Prince Gong wants to promote Concubine Jiang to be his principal wife... "
King Kang stopped talking here. His eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.
Ye Peizhu asked him with a smile, "Your Highness, have you come up with a solution?"
When King Kang saw the smile on his wife's face, he knew that she and he were thinking the same thing.
"I did think of it, but Madam, we don't know what Concubine Jiang's background is. If we make it up, can we really fool Prince Gong?"
Ye Peizhu raised her eyebrows, "Prince Gong can no longer remain calm, he will seize every opportunity he can get!
I remember that the Duke of Zheng's Mansion once lost a legitimate daughter. Judging from her age, she was about twenty years old, which is the same age as Concubine Jiang.
What does Your Highness think of the identity of the lost legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion?
Can you make Prince Gong desperately want Concubine Jiang to become his legal wife?"
Prince Kang nodded repeatedly, "Old Duke Zheng was a founding hero. Although he has passed away, the status of his Duke Zheng Mansion is still very high.
If Prince Gong knew that his concubine was actually the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, he would probably be so happy that he would go crazy.
After all, being related to the Duke's Mansion by marriage can help him in his struggle for power to a certain extent."
"Yes, and what if Concubine Jiang is really the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion?"
Ye Peizhu curled her lips and smiled, thinking that the Prince Kang's Mansion was also indebted to the Duke Yu's Mansion.
"Then send someone to investigate. Maybe we can find some clues."
After Prince Kang said this, he immediately ordered the secret guards to investigate the disappearance of the Duke's daughter.
"Your Highness, you just asked me if my attitude towards Prince Gong would change if Consort Gong knew the truth about her inability to conceive.
From the few times I've spent with Princess Gong, I can see that she loves children very much and wants to have her own children.
Just based on this point, no matter how much she loves Prince Gong, her feelings for him are deep.
Once she knew that her inability to get pregnant was caused by Prince Gong, and that Prince Gong had deprived her of the right to be a mother, her feelings for Prince Gong would definitely deteriorate!
What I'm thinking about now is whether Princess Gong has any leverage over Prince Gong, and whether she's worth the trouble we're going through to set up this trap."
Ye Peizhu's words calmed King Kang down.
"Indeed, it depends on whether Princess Gong has any leverage over Prince Gong. Otherwise, our plan will be ineffective."
The couple fell into silence for a moment.
But who knows whether Princess Gong has any evidence that can deal a fatal blow to Prince Gong?
This time it's nothing more than a gamble.
If the bet is won, Prince Gong can be eliminated.
If they lose the bet, the relationship between Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion will be completely broken off.
Because of the uncertainty of this matter, Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu were both in a low mood.
But neither of them showed their emotions in front of their daughter, and they continued to tease her as before.
At night, Song Jiujiu drank milk, changed her diaper, and fell asleep holding the little white rabbit doll.
She didn't know how long she slept before she suddenly woke up.
The scene before me is a bamboo forest.
She remembered this place, this was the bamboo forest behind the yard where her fifth brother lived.
She had never been here in her previous life because her fifth brother drowned when he was a child, so her parents sealed off the yard where her fifth brother lived and did not allow anyone to enter.
Two days ago, her fifth brother had a fever, so her mother took her to see him. Only then did she discover that there was a bamboo forest here.
Seeing this scene, Song Jiujiu knew that she was having another precognitive dream.
I just don’t know whether what happened in this dream was good or bad.
Song Jiujiu looked at a group of royal guards who broke in from outside. They were rummaging through her fifth brother's yard and even the entire Prince Kang's Mansion, as if they were looking for something.
Finally, the guards came to the bamboo forest and dug the soil roughly. Finally, they dug out a wooden box under a big tree next to the bamboo forest.
