"Your Highness has recognized the wrong person."
Huo Jinqian felt that now was not the right time to recognize the prince, so he denied it.
"No, I'm not mistaken. You are the eldest princess's son. You look so much alike."
The eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister from the same father and mother. After the emperor ascended the throne, Eunuch Zhang sent him to serve the eldest princess.
Before she got married, the eldest princess lived in Changle Palace in the palace, which was granted by the emperor himself.
"When I was little, I was very attached to my aunt. I wouldn't make a mistake. Mr. Huo and my aunt are too similar."
The prince said.
When he was little, before his aunt married, she would often visit him and hold him in her arms. When he got into trouble, his father wanted to punish him, and his mother couldn't persuade him. Only when his eldest aunt came did his father relent and not blame him.
Seeing this, Gao Zhijun knew that even if Huo Jinqian didn't want to admit it, it would be difficult to fool him, after all, they both had half the same blood.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Wang, and Grand Tutor, please follow me."
"Director, please help me accompany the prefect to dinner."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took Huo Jinqian, the prince, eunuch Wang and the tutor to the courtyard where she lived.
After everyone was seated, he personally poured them tea and then said, "Jinqian, although I don't know your identity, if you are really the eldest princess's son, you should recognize the crown prince. He will not harm you. This is my suggestion. As for your decision, you should think it over carefully."
"This humble servant will not participate. I will go and accompany the prefect first."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but Huo Jinqian held her back: "Don't go, stay here with me, okay?"
Seeing Huo Jinqian looking somewhat bewildered, Gao Zhijun felt a sudden pain in her heart. If she brought up the past again, it would tear open his wounds.
Gao Zhijun suddenly felt a little regretful that she had made this decision for him too impulsively.
"Okay, I won't leave. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I believe the prince won't blame you."
Gao Zhijun sat beside him and said soothingly.
"Cousin Crown Prince, I am indeed Wei Yongqi, the son of the eldest princess and the Marquis of Anyang."
Huo Jinqian held Gao Zhijun's hand and admitted that he was the eldest princess's son.
The name Yongqi was given by the emperor, which means that he hopes he will grow up healthy and happy, have a bright future, be talented, and become a pillar of the country to assist the prince.
The Crown Prince asked excitedly, "What's going on? Father sent many people to look for you, but in the end, there was no news. They all said that you had been devoured by a wild beast. During that time, Father became much more haggard. Why are you here?"
"Crown Prince cousin, this is what happened..."
Huo Jinqian told him exactly what Mrs. Lu had said to him.
"This is outrageous! They are so bold as to actually attempt to murder the royal family. I will send this letter to my father, asking him to arrest them and draw and quarter them."
The prince said angrily.
He looked like a superior at this moment. He was truly worthy of being called a dragon born from a dragon, and his majesty was innate.
"Brother Crown Prince, we have no evidence. If we arrest them hastily, we will only alert the enemy. It is better to wait until we find evidence before bringing them to justice.
Moreover, I suspect that my mother did not die of illness, but was murdered by someone.
I want to find evidence before I deal with them.”
Huo Jinqian revealed that Lu suspected the eldest princess's death.
Eunuch Wang saw from his expression just now that he was expressing his true feelings. He should have a good relationship with the eldest princess and would not harm him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be lying, so he should be trustworthy.
"What? My aunt was murdered. Do you have any evidence?"
The prince asked in shock and anger.
If his aunt was really murdered, he would not let those people go.
"My adoptive mother who saved me said that my mother was still unhappy after giving birth to me, and she found it suspicious.
My mother was so eager for my birth. She was so happy that I could endure the Anyang Marquis's infidelity and his nightly revelry with his concubines. She couldn't possibly be unhappy after giving birth to me. She should have been very happy."
Huo Jinqian expressed his suspicions.
"How absurd! They are so bold as to murder a member of the royal family. This will result in the extermination of all nine generations of the family."
The prince's anger has reached its peak at this moment. If the prince consort's men were here, they would probably be burned to death by his anger.
He has a very good relationship with his eldest aunt. Apart from his mother, his eldest aunt is the best to him.
Now he knows that his beloved aunt was murdered.
He didn't know that because he didn't avenge her, he felt angry and heartbroken, but also guilty.
"In fact, there is also a possibility that the eldest princess may have suffered from postpartum depression."
Although according to the development of the palace fight, the eldest princess was most likely killed by someone.
From her professional perspective, the eldest princess might also be suffering from postpartum depression.
The betrayal of her husband and the crying of her child may be the reasons for her postpartum depression.
"Postpartum depression? What is that?"
The prince and Huo Jinqian asked in unison.
"Postpartum depression is when you give birth to a child and don't get the care of your family. The child's day and night are reversed and they cry constantly, which makes you feel irritable and disgusted. Coupled with lack of sleep, you will have some mental problems."
Gao Zhijun briefly explained the causes of postpartum depression, which was too profound for them to understand.
In previous lives, many mothers suffered from depression.
After all, getting up every night to feed and change diapers will seriously affect sleep.
Also, babies sleep soundly during the day but can't sleep at night. But adults can't sleep because they have a lot of work to do.
This situation generally does not occur in wealthy families. They all recuperate in confinement centers and have professionals to take care of the babies. The mothers only need to take care of themselves.
