"Love is real, not necessarily infatuation!" Zong Zheng Xiao Ting said coldly, "Who is the concubine in the prince's mansion you are talking about?"
"Speaking of this person, he has some connection with your Luozha country." Nangong Muxi saw Zongzheng Xiaoting's sullen face, so naturally she would not think that she was reacting out of jealousy. After all, after knowing that Situ Xunxiao was poisoned by the snake, they discussed and worried whether there was anything else besides the snake poison, and they were both cautious about each other, and they would never mention anything that could prevent Situ Xunxiao from getting involved, because they were worried that the person controlled by the snake poison would not be able to control himself and would take some actions, and eventually after waking up, he would hurt the person he cared about most. No one wants to experience that kind of pain.
"Who?"
"Granddaughter of Prime Minister Li, daughter of Princess Wei!" When Nangong Muxi said this, Zongzheng Xiaoting's eyes widened. She really didn't know a lot about many people and things. Many of the memories of the owner of this body she inherited were incomplete. But she knew very well about Prime Minister Li's granddaughter and Princess Wei's daughter. Before the marriage, many people said that the fate of princesses who were married was very pitiful. In this dynasty, the only woman who took the initiative to ask for a marriage was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Li!
It is said that this woman had a very stubborn character. No one knew what it was about the cowardly Zhuge Feiyang that attracted this woman who was loved by everyone. She ignored all her pride and married Zhuge Feiyang, who was not yet the crown prince at that time. No one even understood that although Zhuge Feiyang could not promise her the position of the principal wife, she was happy to accept it.
Her stubbornness made her grandfather cut off all ties with her, but he failed to make her change her mind and stay. She married far away, and perhaps because of her pride, she never contacted Li Xiang again. Since then, she has cut off contact and no news has been heard. Zong Zheng Xiaoting only sighed and admired such a woman, but did not take it too seriously. At this moment, hearing Nangong Muxi's words, she suddenly remembered what she had heard before.
Judging from what was said in the book, this woman must be extremely proud and stubborn. If she was the source of the snake poison, would she be willing to do it?
But if I think about it carefully, according to Doctor Chen, the source of the snake poison must be the deep resentment of this woman. If so, could it be possible that something really happened in the Prince's Mansion?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Nangong Muxi in disbelief, raised his eyebrows, and looked at him. Although he did not ask some of his guesses, Nangong Muxi had already understood them.
"It seems that you have heard everything about Concubine Li." Nangong Muxi sighed. It was obvious that she had admired such a woman. "Everyone, including me, never understood why Zhuge Feiyang was so devoted to such a woman. But to be honest, when she married Zhuge Feiyang, she was once the most favored concubine by his side, no doubt about it."
Hearing Nangong Muxi's words, Zongzheng Xiaoting was not surprised at all and nodded in agreement. A woman like that, who was passionate and devoted to love, was definitely not impulsive. It was not surprising that she would become Zhuge Feiyang's most favored concubine after marrying him. What puzzled him was that since she would be the most favored concubine, why did Zongzheng Yunchun become the Crown Princess, and what about her?
Seeing Zongzheng Xiaoting's confusion, Nangong Muxi smiled bitterly, "You certainly couldn't imagine that she had only been a favored concubine for two short years. After Zhuge Feiyang became the crown prince, his favor for her became less and less, right?"
"The most ruthless imperial family?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting asked doubtfully, but saw Nangong Muxi shook his head, "Zhuge Feiyang is just a prince in name only. He has no real power in these years. How can a prince without real power, a prince who is always lonely and can only hang on the title, be compared with the power of the ruthless imperial family!"
"If that's the case, why?"
"No one knows why, so the outside world is just speculating that it's just that the woman is old and ugly, and the man is fickle." Nangong Muxi shook his head. He couldn't agree with the outside world's speculation, but apart from this kind of talk, there was really no way to find out why. To be precise, it was because there was no need to get to the bottom of such a person.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting was also filled with emotion, but she would not just focus on other people's stories and forget about them. Why did they discuss this person?
"Since she is a concubine who has lost favor for a long time, how do you know that she is the biggest suspect?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his eyes.
"I can only say that this woman once made me have some good feelings for her, so when I was looking for the source of the poison, I heard that Concubine Li had not appeared in public for a long time, which aroused my suspicion. Sure enough, the spies went to the Prince's Mansion at night and found that Concubine Li's residence was really weird. She never went out of the front door or the back door, and she stayed in a dark room every day and didn't want to see the light, which was really suspicious. The most coincidental thing was that everyone in the Prince's Mansion spread the rumor that Because the Crown Princess disliked the fact that the Concubine had been too much in the Crown Prince's favor, she couldn't tolerate Concubine Li in private. After a few rounds of nonsense, Concubine Li saw that the Crown Prince always favored the Crown Princess and that they were very affectionate. She was also very disappointed and didn't want to be involved in the hustle and bustle of the world anymore. From then on, she never left the house and only wanted to be sad alone. "Nangong Muxi smiled and shook his head, adding, "Everyone has the same voice, do you think it's strange?"
"Everyone says so, without exception?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting also felt something was wrong.
Nangong Muxi affirmed, "Without exception!"
"If... that's really the case, then there must be a lot of things between Zhuge Feiyang and Zongzheng Yunchun that we can't ignore and need to sort out!" Zongzheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes and said with certainty, "As far as I know, most women will complain and hate, but in the end they will only be sad and blame their own bad luck. But if the target is Concubine Li, then it's absolutely right. There is only resentment, not blaming others!"
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, confirming that they had the same idea.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly fell silent for a long time. Thinking about the many strange things that had happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but frown.
"Nangong Muxi, how much contact did you have with Concubine Li?" Zongzheng Xiaoting asked hesitantly, with some doubt in his eyes.
