Chapter 324: The Secret of the Past

Since the matter has been pointed to Concubine De, Yun Qin asked:

"Your Majesty, why would Concubine De go to such great lengths to harm a nanny? You know, this nanny is very loyal to her."

"What does Aqin think?" Huo Jinchi asked instead of answering.

He knew that with Yunqin's intelligence, she must have made a judgment in her mind.

Yun Qin did not hide it, "From what I see, the one De Fei wanted to kill was not Madam Zheng, but the old madam who could not be traced. But the emperor was in the palace, so she could not reach out, so she could only get rid of Madam Zheng who knew about it."

"Poor Madam Zheng was so loyal that after leaving the palace, she must have done everything she could to bring the old madam's affairs to the palace. However, she didn't expect that this would bring disaster upon herself."

A sneer appeared on her lips, but when she met Huo Jinchi's eyes, she slightly withdrew and said to him: "This is just my humble opinion. You still have to listen to the emperor."

Huo Jinchi liked her soft voice and seductive eyes, and he didn't even find her without revealing her sharpness disgusting.

No matter what she looks like, Yunqin is Yunqin.

"I think the same as you do. What Concubine De is afraid of is that the matter related to this old lady will be leaked."

Huo Jinchi looked at Yun Qin with interest, "Then tell me, why is Concubine De afraid?"

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being tortured?

"Your Majesty, do you really want me to tell you?" Yun Qin looked at Huo Jinchi, "But if I say something wrong, Your Majesty won't blame me, right?"

Of course, the ugly words should be said first.

Huo Jinchi knew her little thoughts and said, "Since I asked you to say it, no matter what you say, I won't blame you."

"Well, I will tell you my humble opinion."

Just say it, who is afraid of who?

Yun Qin snorted in her heart, and then said, "Why is Concubine De afraid? In fact, the old nanny has already told us. It is naturally the question she asked the eldest prince, 'Do you still remember your biological mother?'"

"What do you mean?" Hawking asked.

Having said that, Yun Qin didn't believe that he couldn't hear it.

Instead of mentioning Concubine De, he only mentioned the biological mother. Could it be that the biological mother of the eldest prince is not Concubine De?

Yun Qin must be crazy to say such a thing about the royal bloodline, so she simply asked back like Huo Jinchi, "I don't understand what you mean either, please help me, Your Majesty."

Hawking Chi's eyes were penetrating, and he had guessed that she actually had the answer in her mind, but she just didn't say it.

He didn't force her, but didn't answer his question either. Instead, he talked about other things.

"When I was the crown prince, I was often taken care of by the late emperor, just like the eldest prince today. This was not the case even after I grew up..."

Yun Qin didn't know why he suddenly mentioned the late emperor, but she didn't interrupt him and just listened to him quietly.

"I have been to this palace many times with my father. Kong Cainu was the concubine that my father gave me in the palace one year. The next year, she and Concubine De became pregnant..."

Has Kong Cainu ever been pregnant?

Yun Qin was shocked. She had never heard of this matter before. She only heard that Kong Cainv had not been pregnant for many years. When Su Yiyan was pregnant, she used this matter to provoke her.

"In the third year, the summer was as hot as this year. The late emperor was considerate and allowed me to bring my family to the palace to escape the heat, and we both came along."

"Then, Kong Cainu suddenly went into labor for a day and a night, and finally gave birth to a dead baby. Defei was frightened and also went into premature labor, and finally gave birth to the eldest prince."

Is this really the case?

Yun Qin was extremely shocked. "Both Concubine De and Kong Cainv gave birth in the palace?"

Huo Jinchi nodded slightly. "It is unknown whether Kong Cainu gave birth to a stillborn baby. The late emperor ordered that no one should mention it, so very few people mentioned it, and even fewer people in the palace knew about it."

This is also the reason why Yun Qin has never heard of Kong Cainv giving birth to a child in all her years in the palace.

At this point, Yun Qin knew that Huo Jinchi had begun to doubt the truth of that year.

Her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not expose him. Instead, she looked puzzled and asked, "Why did the emperor bring up this old matter?"

Huo Jinchi looked at her with a half-smile, but did not expose her little thoughts. He continued, "I suspect there may be another hidden story back then, and that nanny may be related to it."

"Is there something else going on?" Yun Qin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Huo Jinchi did not cooperate with her this time. He snorted and laughed, "If Ah Qin really doesn't understand, then wait for me to find out and then I'll tell you."

Yun Qin also knew that she was pretending too much and coughed lightly.

"Then where does the emperor plan to start his investigation?"

Huo Jinchi still smiled and said, "Does A-Qin have any suggestions?"

Yun Qin didn't pretend this time, but pondered and said, "How about letting Concubine De find that nanny for the emperor?"

Huo Jinchi narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Aqin is indeed smart."

"Not even half as good as the emperor." Yun Qin smiled like a little fox.

As she still had to pack her boxes, Yun Qin did not stay in front of Yu for long. She left after saying these words.

On the way back, she tried to control her thoughts and not think too much, so as to avoid being seen by others.

She reached Anlan Pavilion and entered the palace, letting her thoughts wander.

Therefore, the eldest prince is most likely Kong Cainu's child.

She never understood what kind of evidence Kong Cainü had in Defei's hand that made her prefer death to reveal the mastermind behind the incident.

It turned out that it was not a handle, but her son's life was in Defei's hands.

Yun Qin thought that Concubine De might be a cold-blooded person who could manipulate her own son in this way, but it turned out that this was not her son at all.

"No wonder, no wonder." Yun Qin was stunned when she entered the hall. She said "no wonder" several times in a row, which scared everyone in the hall.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Rong Xin stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Hearing her voice, Yun Qin came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, and then sat on the couch, smiling at Rong Xin: "It's okay, it's okay, I just thought of something."

Rong Xin knew that she went to Yu because of the old lady's matter, so this matter was naturally related to her.

But seeing that she didn't say anything, Rong Xin didn't ask any more questions and instead talked about packing the boxes.

"In addition to the things we brought, there are also some gifts from the emperor and some additional things. In fact, we have more things than when we came here."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not that hard." Rong Xin smiled and poured her a cup of tea. "The palace is in chaos, so please sit here and take a rest, my master."
