Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing walked behind Aunt Xu and looked at the falling snow in the jade disk. It seemed that the jade disk was indeed Su Rongzhen and Su Yi's, so why did it fall into Feng Xuanming's hands?
"I remember the Imperial Concubine once told me that it was Feng Xuanming who attacked the late Crown Prince. Could it be that he brought the jade disc back at that time?" Su Chenyu asked uncertainly, "But Imperial Concubine Li only knew that it was Feng Xuanming who plotted against the late Crown Prince, but she didn't know what his method was.
I once heard from my uncle that the former crown prince was assassinated by assassins from Xixia, but how did those assassins break through the protection of the imperial guards and kill the former crown prince?"
It was from the moment she learned the news that Su Chenyu began to harbor the intention to kill Feng Xuanming.
Aunt Xu's tone was filled with sadness: "Those assassins came and went without a trace, and no one caught them at all, so even if everyone knew that they were assassins sent by Xixia, there was no evidence to prove it.
The late emperor had a very high regard for the late crown prince, especially when the late crown prince and Master Rongzhen were about to get engaged, and they all wanted to get back the truth for the late crown prince. But without evidence, if a fight breaks out, Dayu will not have the upper hand. For the sake of Dayu's stability, the late emperor and his family can only bear this pain. "
The last time I heard these old stories was when Mingqian told me that since Aunt Xu had been with Rongzhen for so long, she might know more.
"Mammy, as you said, the former prince and the former prince were in love with each other. Why did she agree to marry someone else so quickly after the former prince died?"
Madam Xu tried hard to recall what happened back then: "In fact, when Master Rongzhen agreed to marry the emperor, the old general had the biggest reaction. At that time, I avoided him, but I heard some of his words vaguely. What did the old general say? So many people witnessed the marriage, and you are his wife regardless of life or death.
The old servant did not dare to listen to the rest of the words. However, when the old general left Master Rong Zhen, he was no longer angry, and even persuaded General Mingqian to agree to the marriage.
Over the years, Madam Xu has never figured out how Rong Zhen had convinced the old general to agree to let her marry Su Lin.
"It seems that I still need to ask my grandfather about some things." Su Chenyu did not dwell on this matter any more. "But the death of the former crown prince must have been related to Feng Xuanming. Now that we are in Xixia, we must settle this old account."
When Su Chenyu said this, Baili Yanqing looked at her deeply.
"Master." Nanny Xu called out, with a solemn expression on her face that Su Chenyu had never seen before. "The death of the late crown prince is a lifelong knot in Master Rong Zhen's heart. I know that since Master Rong Zhen married the emperor, she only let the emperor into the room on the wedding day, and it was that night that you were born. Since then, Master Rong Zhen has never let the emperor get close to her again.
Perhaps it was because the two of them had an unhappy quarrel during that time, and when Master Rongzhen gave birth prematurely because of the villain's harm, the emperor didn't even look at her.
Later, when the Emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to enthrone Master Rongzhen as the Queen, but Master Rongzhen was always thinking of the former Crown Prince. Before, she relied on the family and refused to let the Emperor get close to her; after the Emperor ascended the throne, even the family could not stop it. So Master Rongzhen took the initiative to give up the position of Queen, and he would never come close to her again in the future. "
At that time, Su Lin had just ascended the throne, and everyone was secretly mocking him for relying on the Qie family to get to the throne. If Qie Rong was really made empress at that time, it would seem to confirm those words.
But Rong Zhenyu was his principal wife, and with the Yu family still around, how could he dare to appoint a new queen?
Rongzhen proposed this deal at the most appropriate time, and Su Lin couldn't even find a reason to refuse, so he agreed.
Su Chenyu's eyes flashed with astonishment. She had never thought that there were so many hidden secrets.
