Xuanyuan Yexiao understood and said, "After all this fuss, it turns out that Qian Yeming is not the Queen's child! Does Emperor Dezheng know about this?"
Baili Feng shook his head: "Who said he wasn't? Qian Yeming is the real Crown Prince of Nanyue."
"Then..." Xuanyuan Yexiao was a little confused. Then he thought of something and asked with wide eyes, "Then the queen is someone pretending to be her?"
Baili Feng silently held his forehead. How bad could this person's comprehension ability be to come up with such an idiotic question? Then he asked impatiently, "Which ear did you hear me say that the identity of the Queen or the Crown Prince was fake?"
Xuanyuan Yexiao said somewhat aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that the Queen poisoned Qian Yeming when he was two years old? Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, let alone the Queen. That was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Even if he had an affair with another man, was it necessary for him to poison her other child?" In short, he didn't believe this.
Although he was of low status in the family, his mother protected him very well. Although he was naughty and often punished by family rules, his mother would always use her body to shield him from all the storms.
His mother was very timid and didn't want to cause trouble. No matter how the ladies and concubines bullied her, she would not say a word. But if those people dared to bully him, his mother would immediately turn from a sheep into a lion, and would not be afraid of any force in the mansion.
Thinking of his mother, Xuanyuan Yexiao's eyes revealed a deep emotion and longing. It's been a while since she left. I wonder if she's doing well in that house?
Just when Xuanyuan Yexiao was thinking of his mother, he heard some sarcastic remarks from the side.
"Not everyone is as lucky as you and me to have a good mother. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but some people are worse than animals and would actually poison their own two-year-old son."
Under Xuanyuan Yexiao's incredulous gaze, Baili Feng continued, "I remember when the Emperor and Empress were praying on the rooftop, he stood below and kept coughing. I observed him, and he was almost shivering with cold. Later, when the weather was very hot, the eunuchs covered him with a mink fur and brought him a thermos. Later, when we performed on the same stage, I was very close to him at one point, and I could feel the coldness on him. It was definitely not fake.
That night, besides observing Xiao'er, I was also observing him and Murong Qingyun. He was indeed trying his best to endure it, until the emperor arranged the marriage, when he could no longer hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood, and then was helped down.
After hearing Baili Feng's words, Xuanyuan Yexiao sighed, "Having a mother like this, he really deserves sympathy!"
"But this doesn't make sense!" Xuanyuan Yexiao frowned and said, "I don't think Xiao'er is the kind of girl who would let others manipulate her, right?"
Baili Feng replied confidently, "If she really was at the mercy of others, she wouldn't have stolen Murong Qingyu's best poison, and she wouldn't have killed Murong Shan to hide for Qian Yeming."
"You mean, Xiao'er had already formed a coalition with Qian Yeming before they got married? That doesn't make sense! She had been staying in the dark room before she became the daughter of the Murong family."
Baili Feng nodded: "And you overlooked one thing. When did she become proficient in poison?" After saying that, he placed another chess piece.
