Hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the King of Qin. He stared at the beautiful face in front of him for a long time, and finally smiled.
Thinking of Lin Chunhuan's superb acupuncture skills that day, he didn't completely believe her words, but he also didn't disbelieve her. "It seems that the fourth lady is still a kind-hearted doctor."
"Never mind, never mind. I've been holding these things in my heart for too long. It's better to tell you. Anyway, if I hear even a little bit of it from a third person, I can take your head at any time."
It’s not that King Qin believed Lin Chunhuan, but such an outrageous thing would not be believed by anyone even if it was told to others.
Seeing the threat in the King of Qin's eyes, Lin Chunhuan couldn't deny it. "Back then, Qin Zhaoxun was just a foot-washing maid. King Zhao failed in his bid for the throne and went to Jiangbei. How could the two of them be connected?"
"It was earlier than you think. I was just born when Sister Qin and my brother met."
In other words, when the late emperor was still alive, King Zhao and Qin Zhaoxun already knew each other and had secretly developed feelings for each other?
Lin Chunhuan was stunned for a moment. "At that time, Prince Zhao was still in the capital, and was very favored by the late emperor. So how could Qin Zhaoxun..."
"You want to ask why my brother didn't ask Sister Qin to be with him? Even if she's not qualified to be a princess, being a concubine, or even a concubine, is better than being a foot-washing maid beside Concubine Li, right?"
Having decided to reveal the secret, King Qin stopped asking people to guess. "Sister Qin is a pitiful person."
"You would never guess that she is the youngest daughter of Chief Nanyun."
The smile on his lips was tinged with sarcasm. The King of Qin took a sip of the fruit wine and said, "How could such a coincidence happen in the world? If it weren't for Sister Qin, how could that bastard, with so many concubines around him, not even one of them could have borne a son?"
Lin Chunhuan swallowed silently.
I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. "So, it's not that King Zhao didn't want to take Qin Zhaoxun away, but that she herself didn't leave. She wants... revenge?!"
The King of Qin did not respond to this, but looked up at Lin Chunhuan, which was considered as his agreement.
"Although Nanyun is far less prosperous than Kyoto, it is a very mysterious place. There are sorcery and poisons everywhere. Those who have never been there can't even imagine it."
"Sister Qin has been studying these things since she was little. It wouldn't take her much effort to make a man unable to have a son."
Many questions that were previously incomprehensible were all explained at this moment. So many concubines gave birth to children, but none of them were boys. It was Qin Zhaoxun who did something about it.
But Qin Zhaoxun gave birth to the prince, and that was because the prince was not the emperor's son at all!
At that time, the chieftain of Nanyun refused to provide a secret medicine to the royal family. Following the order of the late emperor, the emperor, who was then the Prince of Yan, went to Nanyun to look for the medicine.
Later, something went wrong inside Nanyun. The chieftain of Nanyun went crazy and killed all his wives and children. The King of Yan at that time also took advantage of the chaos to get the secret medicine.
And because of this incident, the royal family successfully inserted its hand into Nanyun, sent its own people over, and slowly took control of the government.
Now it seems that the civil unrest in Nanyun must have been related to the current emperor!
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips silently. No wonder Qin Zhaoxun wanted revenge!
If her entire family were to die at the hands of someone else, not only would she be unable to have a son, she would even do something more cruel!
"But since she was able to drug the Saint, why didn't she just kill him?"
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day." The King of Qin looked at Lin Chunhuan deeply. "Sister Qin is a pitiful person, but also a smart person. She has insights and a broad mind that ordinary women cannot achieve."
"If the emperor were to die suddenly, the world would be plunged into war in an instant. The people of Nanyun have already experienced this kind of pain once. Sister Qin doesn't want the people of the world to suffer the same way she did."
The subsequent events can be sorted out. As for how King Zhao and Qin Zhaoxun met, and how the crown prince came into being, these had little to do with the crown prince, so King Qin did not elaborate.
It was almost dawn.
Lin Chunhuan let out a long sigh. Tonight she had only wanted to confirm whether the prince was the emperor's son, but she didn't expect to know so many secrets.
A sense of pressure was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
The King of Qin drank a lot of wine and imitated Lin Chunhuan's posture, leaning on the table with one hand. "Fourth Miss, it's time for me to go."
"One last question."
"Does the prince know about these things?"
The King of Qin shook his head slightly. "Even if I told him, would he believe it?"
"Yes, you haven't had the chance to interact with the Crown Prince yet. Otherwise, with your intelligence, you would have discovered in a moment how much he respects his father, the Emperor."
After saying this, the King of Qin stood up unsteadily and emptied the last jar of wine. "I have already made it clear what can and cannot be said. If the fourth lady really has a way to cure him."
"On behalf of my brother and sister Qin, I would like to thank you for your kindness, young lady."
When the sky brightened, Lin Chunhuan was still in a daze, but the figure of King Qin had disappeared in front of him.
When Lu Fu stood up and walked into the yard, she let out a sharp explosion, "Girl! You actually drank so much wine by yourself!"
"Oh my God, Aunt Gu only left behind this little bit of stuff. You didn't leave even a jar behind, did you?"
The noise in his ears made Lin Chunhuan's ears hurt a little. He shook his hungover head and stood up, smiling a little embarrassedly: "I just drank too much by accident."
"I have something else to go out for, so I'll trouble you here."
Lu Fu was still holding a lot of anger and was about to detain the man so that Lin Chunhuan could have a good sleep, but she didn't expect that the man was gone in the blink of an eye.
He was so angry that he stamped his feet in the yard.
When Lin Chunhuan appeared again, she was already in a clothing store in the city. There were many young ladies from official families who went out to play dressed as men, so it didn't take much effort for her to buy a set of men's clothes that fit her.
Her long hair was tied behind her head with a jade crown, revealing her smooth forehead. She gently waved a folding fan in her hand, washed off her makeup, and stood on the street.
He is a handsome young man whose gender is hard to tell.
She read the note in her hand again and took out a tinder to burn it. This was delivered to her by a maid from Yixueyuan when she went out. She knew without thinking who gave the order.
It seems that she was right to go to see Lin Yimiao.
"Go to Qianfeng Mountain in the suburbs."
Lin Chunhuan hired a carriage and a coachman, but did not take anyone with him. He left the city alone and took a nap leaning against the wall of the carriage. He had learned almost everything he needed to know.
It's time to meet the prince.
In the temple on Qianfeng Mountain, a man in a white shirt stood outside the temple where tablets were enshrined, without moving for a long time.
The guard beside him couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't you going in?"
"No." The prince said in a low voice, "When the emperor agrees to move mother's tablet into the imperial mausoleum, I will have the courage to go and see her."
