After Jiang Si left the Marquis Yining's mansion, the old lady of the Marquis Yining called the old Marquis Yining over.
"It seems that she knows about her grandmother."
Old Marquis Yining was stunned and said unhappily, "Didn't you say that you won't mention this to anyone? A Ke has been gone for so many years, why are you telling Si'er about this?"
His daughter died shortly after she was born, so he truly treated A Ke as his own daughter, and the Jiang brothers and sisters were his legitimate grandchildren in his heart.
In the eyes of old Marquis Yining, the old lady of Marquis Yining was just looking for trouble by revealing this secret.
The old lady of Marquis Yining sighed, "Si'er is different from Zhan'er. She is the Crown Princess. If she knows some things, she can at least be prepared, instead of being kept in the dark and being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives in the future."
The real reason why she couldn't keep it secret was her granddaughter's shocking guess about the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother was not the Queen Mother from the beginning when she entered the palace, or even had a conspiracy, that would be terrible. She could not ignore the country of Great Zhou for the sake of her own secrets.
She is a woman, an old woman who is about to die, but she is still a person of the Great Zhou.
The old Marquis of Yining was still a little confused: "At the time, only we knew about this matter, and at most some close servants knew about it. Those servants are gone in recent years. Why are you worrying so much?"
"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. When you are in Si'er's position, it is better to know more and be troubled than to know nothing. Old man, you are so unhappy. Are you worried that Si'er will become distant from us in the future?"
"Who is worried? I don't seem to be that kind of person." Old Marquis Yining said embarrassedly.
The old lady of Marquis Yining smiled and said, "That's it. Stop looking so serious. You will always be Si'er's grandfather."
Old Marquis Yining looked a little embarrassed and muttered, "I told you I'm not worried about that!"
Jiang Si hurried back to Prince Yan's Mansion and sent someone to the front yard to call Yu Jian.
As Yu Jin's status changed, the officials in the palace had a lot of things to do and often gathered in the study to discuss matters.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess asks you to come in." The servant Yuanbao didn't care about the heated discussions inside and shouted at the door.
Interrupting the Crown Prince's meeting is not a big deal, but delaying the Crown Princess's invitation would be courting death.
He might be able to exchange these valuable experiences for silver in the future.
Yu Jin walked out of the study quickly with his long legs, leaving everyone looking at the old chief historian.
The old chief touched his nose and said helplessly, "Go on."
Look at what he does. If he is useful, he will look at himself in the mirror every day.
Every time this happened, the old historian couldn't help but doubt his life: How could such a prince become the crown prince?
Yu Jin quickly returned to Yuhe Garden, sat down next to Jiang Si, drank a few sips of tea, rubbed his eyes and said, "I was almost drowsy listening to this, now I'm finally relieved. Did you gain anything from going to Yining Marquis's Mansion?"
"I asked a lot of questions. The most important one is that my grandmother said my real grandmother was a Wu Miao..."
After listening to Jiang Si's words, Yu Jin sighed: "So you and Saint Asan are cousins. No wonder you look alike."
Jiang Si was still a little confused: "Although Asan's mother and I are twin sisters, it's still a little strange that we look so much alike."
I've never heard of twin sisters' daughters looking the same.
Yu Jin thought for a moment and said, "I guess this has something to do with your special bloodline."
"You mean—"
"A-Sang was the Holy Maiden of Wu Miao, but she did not fully master the art of exorcism during her lifetime. It was you who mastered this magical art. I was thinking that maybe you were the chosen Holy Maiden, and because of some mysterious reason, Asang had the Holy Maiden's blood flowing in her veins, she looked very similar to you. This might be a test from heaven for the Wu Miao clan, which gave birth to two girls who looked very similar and were related by blood..."
Jiang Si listened quietly to Yu Jin's analysis and said softly, "The Great Elder also had such doubts."
If she is the saint and Asan is not, then who occupied whose identity in the previous life? What a mess...
"As for the Queen Mother, if the old lady of Marquis Yining is right, then she was probably replaced before entering the palace, and the person who replaced her was most likely a Wu Miao! Asi, you should know something about the Wu Miao's magical art of disguise, do you think this is possible?"
Jiang Si nodded involuntarily: "If the two people are of similar age, with similar facial shapes and body shapes, Wu Miao's disguise technique can completely confuse the fake with the real."
Yu Jin stroked the teacup, his expression solemn: "Asi, have you ever thought that your real grandmother might be the implementer of this substitutionary plan?"
Jiang Si's eyes trembled and he was speechless for a moment.
Yu Jin held Jiang Si's hand and analyzed, "The old lady of Marquis Yining, the foreign woman, and the queen mother, the three of them had a brief intersection during that period. After that, the queen mother entered the palace, and the old lady of Marquis Yining felt that her friend seemed to have changed. So what role did the foreign woman play in it? If you, Ah Si, are a foreign woman, what is your purpose in appearing in Marquis Yining's mansion?"
Jiang Si was silent for a long time before saying, "If I were the Wu Miao girl who approached my grandmother with the plan of using someone else as a substitute, I could observe her words and deeds through her contact with the future Crown Princess, and thus ensure that the person who replaced the Queen Mother was flawless and successfully became the Crown Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then the Queen and Queen Mother—"
As he spoke, a great fear spread in Jiang Si's heart.
The Queen Mother entered the palace several decades ago. If Wu Miao had started planning since then, it would be too scary.
Jiang Si held Yu Jin's hand tightly and said, "Ajin, what do you think Wu Miao is planning? They definitely don't want to overthrow the Great Zhou."
"If that's the case, the Queen Mother will have to deal with my father, not Fuqing."
"Ajin, don't forget that it was not only Fuqing who asked the Queen Mother to take action, but also the deposed Crown Prince."
Yu Jin shook his head: "It still doesn't make sense that Wu Miao wants to overthrow the Great Zhou. Although Wu Miao people have some magical means, they are few in number. It is already difficult for them to rule more than a dozen tribes in southern Xinjiang. What benefit will overthrowing the Great Zhou bring to them? An individual may be able to put aside their own interests, but when standing at the level of a tribe, they must be motivated by their own interests. Their purpose may still be related to the Saint. You must know that the crisis of Wu Miao in recent years is due to the vacancy of the Saint."
Jiang Si nodded in agreement and frowned, saying, "We can put guessing about Wu Miao's purpose aside for now. The most urgent task is to expose the Queen Mother's true colors and prevent her from causing trouble again."
The Queen Mother used someone else's knife to kill the deposed Crown Prince, and attacked Princess Fuqing several times. Now that A-Jian has become the Crown Prince, and with the plan of the Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun in advance, it is obvious that they will be the target of the Queen Mother's future attacks.
She didn't want to sit back and wait for death or to respond to the attack. What she wanted was to take the initiative and solve the problem.
"Where's the evidence?" Yu Jin sighed. "The Queen Mother was replaced by someone else based on our guess based on the feelings of the old lady of Marquis Yining. More importantly, the Queen Mother was replaced before she entered the palace. To my father and everyone who has dealt with the Queen Mother, she has always been the same Queen Mother and has never changed."
