Qianzhuo took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yun Shang took the pen and dipped it in the ink, pondered for a moment, then wrote a letter on the paper, then took a seal from the purse at his waist, dipped it in the ink pad, over that letter.

After putting the seal away, Yun Shang picked up the letter paper, dried it carefully, and handed it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu took it over, looked at it, quickly folded it, stuffed it into his clothes, pondered for a while, then bit his lips, and finally opened his mouth: My original wife is a stable woman. Jincheng is still relatively famous, and many dignitaries seek her to deliver babies. Twenty-three years ago, the palace sent someone to take her into the palace and let her deliver the baby for the rightly favored Concubine Liu.

As Uncle Liu said, he subconsciously took out a pipe from his waist, but only after he took it out did it sound like where is he now born?

At that time, my mother-in-law was very happy. Although there were many high-ranking officials and dignitaries among the people who delivered the baby, this time she was the concubine Liu who was rightly favored by the palace. She was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for several days. It was the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month. I remember very clearly that the weather was very cold, and early in the morning, the palace sent someone to pick up my mother-in-law. Uncle Liu sighed and frowned.

My mother-in-law didn't come back from the palace until it was almost midnight. As soon as she came back, she asked us to pack up things in a hurry, indicating that she was going out of the city early in the morning. I looked at her as if she was a little panicked. So I grabbed her and asked her, she must have been explained to me, she was trembling all over, but she was still unwilling to say a word.

Uncle Liu tapped his pipe, his eyes full of complex expressions: I thought she offended the nobles in the palace when she delivered the baby, and I panicked. While packing up my things, I asked her what happened. I asked her all night. It was almost dawn when she told me, but she didn't say it very clearly. I just remember that she said repeatedly that Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter, but it was stillborn. She said that the nobles in the palace ordered them to You can’t reveal any rumors, or you won’t live.”

When Yun Shang heard this, she clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, daughter? stillbirth? She remembered that Concubine Liu had lost two children, and the seventh prince was the only full-term one. But what happened to this stillbirth? Could it be that Mrs. Wen gave birth to a child before the Seventh Prince? But it's not right, she remembered that Xia Houjing's birthday was the twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month. How is this going? Yun Chang's eyes were full of doubts.

Actually, I don't understand. It's not uncommon to have a difficult childbirth or a stillbirth. But I think it may be because the nobles in the palace are more expensive. She is a woman who has never seen the market. When threatened by someone, I panicked. But I didn't expect that the next morning, we hadn't walked far from Jincheng, and we ran into bandits. The whole family was killed, and I was injured. He pretended to be dead and saved his life.

Uncle Liu took a deep breath and was silent for a while before continuing: At first, I thought it was a bandit, but not long after I was rescued, I heard that Concubine Liu gave birth to a son. It is the current Seventh Prince. But I remember very clearly, what my mother-in-law said, Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter, or a stillbirth.

At that time, I felt something was wrong. I thought that my mother-in-law would go to the palace to deliver the baby, and there were three stable women who were well-known in Jincheng. My mother-in-law also had some contacts with them, so I quietly returned to Jincheng. After visiting the city several times, I found out that the three stable women also had accidents, and no one was left alive in the family. I finally understood, I am afraid, it is not some bandits who want to kill them, but the palace. nobleman in the middle.

Only then did Yunshang slowly recover from her surprise, You mean, the Seventh Prince is not the child of Concubine Liu at all?

Uncle Liu nodded again and again: Definitely not.

Could it be twins, but the female fetus died? Yun Chang frowned and asked.

Uncle Liu shook his head, thought for a while and said, If it was a twin, my mother-in-law wouldn't say nothing, and she wouldn't be so panicked. Besides, if one of the twins died, why should I hide it?

Uncle Liu paused for a long time, seemed to think of something again, and then opened his mouth again: By the way, my mother-in-law also mentioned one thing, there were four Wen women who entered the palace, but there were only two people who gave birth to Concubine Liu. Also, when the female fetus was born, Concubine Liu fainted from the pain. After discovering that it was a stillbirth, a nanny took her away. After Concubine Liu woke up and asked about the baby, the nanny gave Concubine Liu Said that she gave birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe.

My mother-in-law wanted to speak, but she was taken away. The nanny said it was just to comfort Concubine Liu, and told them not to speak out.

Yun Chang was startled by such an explosive secret in his mind. The order of Uncle Liu's speech was a little confusing, but Yun Shang understood it. When Concubine Liu was in labor, she gave birth to a daughter, and it was stillborn. However, the nurse next to her told her that the baby boy was born, and the mother and child were safe. And later, it was announced that Concubine Liu had given birth to a boy, and that boy was Xia Houjing today.

Yun Chang bit her lip, her eyes filled with disbelief. No matter what, she never thought that this secret would be like this.

With all kinds of thoughts in her mind, Yunshang sat down, forced herself to calm down, and sorted out the information she just got.

Then there were a few questions.

One is, according to what Uncle Liu said just now, Concubine Liu didn't know about this matter, she passed out during childbirth, and didn't know that she had given birth to a stillborn baby. But, who does that nanny belong to? Who actually arranged this matter? Xia Huanyu? Or Liu Jin?

The second is, he said that there were four stable women who entered the palace, but there were only two people who delivered the baby to Concubine Liu, so who did the remaining two deliver the baby to? Is it Xia Houjing's real mother? Who is Xia Houjing's biological mother?

The last one, Xia Huanyu wrote to Liu Yinfeng earlier, saying that he hoped that the secret of the year would be buried forever, and that Xia Houjing could not be known. Could it be that this is the secret he talked about?

Yunshang thought about it one by one. Yunshang had seen Xia Huanyu's love for Xia Houjing before, and everything was biased towards him. If Xia Huanyu knew that Xia Houjing was not his biological child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a measure. People who are not their own children are so partial.

In this way, the person who arranged this matter was most likely Liu Jin. If it is Liu Jin, Yun Chang can understand it. Concubine Liu has been in the palace for several years and is very favored, but the child has been pregnant twice, and both of them have conceived. Liu Jin naturally hoped that his daughter would give birth to a prince to be his favorite, so that their status in the Liu Mansion could be stabilized.

But back then, both the court and the harem were under the control of the Su family, and the Liu family hadn't reached the point where they could cover the sky with one hand, so how could they arrange this matter so seamlessly. Even almost all the people who experienced this incident back then have been dealt with cleanly. If it was arranged by Liu Jin, wouldn't the Su family and Xia Huanyu notice anything wrong?

And if Xia Huanyu didn't know about it, then the secret in the letter must not be about it, if not about it, then what is it?

Yun Chang only felt that there were more doubts in her mind, which disturbed her mind.

After a while, Yunshang stood up slowly, and said softly: I will go back to the palace after lunch, I will ask my maid to help you find a suit of clothes, then you will enter the palace with my team It’s just that I have to clarify with you first, one is that you have to give up some things to enter the palace, two is that if you choose to enter the palace, I can’t protect your family, and the third is that this palace may not be as good As comfortable as you imagined, it may be very dangerous, I hope you can also take care of yourself, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. You still have a chance to regret it...

After Yun Chang finished speaking, she glanced at Uncle Liu again, smiled coldly, turned around and left the small room.

The secret I heard just now was too frightening, Yunshang did not go back to the main hall directly after leaving the house, stood in the yard for a while, then turned to look at Qianzhuo and asked, Are Qianqian and Qianyin here?

Qian Zhuo responded in a low voice, Here we are, waiting for the master to summon you in the front yard.

Yun Chang nodded slightly, Call them over.

Qian Zhuo responded in a low voice, then saluted and left the yard, and brought Ning Qian and Qian Yin in after a while. When Ning Qian and Qian Yin saw Yun Shang, they laughed: The subordinates have not yet congratulated the master on boarding As for the latter, the master is truly magnificent in this phoenix robe.

Yun Shang smiled, turned around and looked at the two of them, and said softly: I have had a difficult time in the palace these days, and the person watching by me is a master of martial arts, so I dare not summon the two of you, How is it, how is the outside of the palace during this time?

Ning Qian's lower abdomen has not yet bulged, and her figure is still slender. She replied with a smile: Everything is fine, and my subordinates have lived up to my master's expectations. Now Mingfeng Hall has gained some fame in Jincheng, and many dignitaries and dignitaries They will come here especially for the name. The subordinates have set up side rooms next to all the rooms that the guests and girls don’t know about, and ordered people to listen to the corners. Once they hear any useful information, they will collect it, put it together, and sort it out one by one. It won't be long before Mingfeng Pavilion becomes more and more famous and there are more and more customers, and it will soon become an excellent place to collect news.

Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words: Only you can do what you hear about the corner of the wall. After speaking, she looked at Qian Yin again and said, How is your situation there?

Qian Yin responded with a low smile, Everything is fine, and Xiao Ji has more and more guests.

Yun Chang nodded, and remained silent for a while, before asking: What's going on with Liu Cang, can we find out?

Ning Qian thought for a while, and then responded softly: I have some eyebrows...\u003c
