Fu Chenyu didn't understand before, but now he understands: "Dad gave me an envelope and told me a surname, Qin."
Qin?
Ye Qianning thought about the officials of Beili. There were several families with the surname Qin. "Dad, before the Emperor of Beili ascended the throne, was there any official with the surname Qin who was very close to him?"
"I was too young at that time and had never been to the palace. I only knew that the emperor's mother, Concubine Xi, died of a serious illness in the second year after the emperor ascended the throne." Xiang Minghou had never been focused on studying. He was always wielding swords and guns and dreaming of becoming a hero. He never asked about the affairs of the palace.
"Your father will know more about the affairs of the court." Gu Shuo said.
yes.
Qian Fanji is the Shangshu. Generally, the Shangshu is involved in organizing the files of the imperial palace. He knows the officials of Beili for basically three generations.
"The letter is with you?" Xiang Minghou looked at Fu Chenyu and asked.
Fu Chenyu shook his head: "I hid the letter."
"Where is it hidden?"
"I'll tell you when we're safe." Fu Chenyu was cautious.
"good."
Ye Qianning compromised.
When the carriage returned to the caravan, Ye Qianning asked Du Ying to take the child to bandage the wound.
Then he got into the carriage.
Afterwards, Gu Shuo called Qian Fanji to get on the carriage as well. The matter of the child was no small matter. They were being chased all the way, so they needed to make a careful decision on where to put the child.
"Go out for a while. What's the matter that makes you all look so serious?" Old Chen glanced at the three of them.
"Dad." Ye Qianning called out.
Xiang Minghou's aura suddenly spread out, and his internal force wrapped around the carriage, blocking out the sound from outside.
"We just received news that the emperor of Beili is not of royal blood." Ye Qianning said.
Old Chen was shocked and his eyes widened.
Qian Fanji's pupils constricted. The emperor is not of royal blood?
"Those kids just now are from the Songshan Fu family. The former head of the Fu family was a high-ranking secret guard close to the late emperor."
"This... weren't all the hidden guards buried with him?"
Since ancient times, the royal guards of every generation have been buried with the emperor.
This is the rule of the royal family, without exception.
"We suspect the Fu family discovered the Emperor's secret and used it as a bargaining chip to buy his life. Master knows what kind of person the Emperor is. Furthermore, before the Fu family was exterminated, they gave the child a letter with the surname Qin. So, I'd like to ask Master and Father Qian if they know which Qin family member in the capital was close to Concubine Xi or the Emperor?"
Dean Chen couldn't believe it, but when he heard his little disciple say this, he became cautious. The late emperor was a dozen years younger than him and he also went to the palace to study for a few days.
Later, he became famous in academics. After returning to Beili, the late emperor valued him very much and often went to the palace to teach the princes and princesses. The current emperor was one of them.
I didn't seem to notice anything strange at the time.
"That's right." Old Chen suddenly thought of something. "Back then, Concubine Xi and Concubine Chen gave birth to a child together. Something did happen in the palace that day. I was in the palace with the Emperor discussing the subject sent by Xi Yan. Before nightfall, someone secretly informed the late Emperor that the child Concubine Xi gave birth to was not a dragon seed. The late Emperor was furious and ordered people to surround Concubine Xi's palace. Concubine Xi refused to acknowledge her, claiming that Concubine Chen's child was not a dragon seed. The Emperor brought Concubine Xi and Concubine Chen together for a face-to-face confrontation. The children also had their blood tested in public. As a result, the blood of the prince born by Concubine Xi merged, while the blood of the prince born by Concubine Chen did not."
Ye Qianning listened to what happened and guessed roughly: "What happened to Concubine Chen and his child?"
