Hearing this, Jing Feiyuan suddenly looked at Nanny Tan.

She also wanted to know who the Imperial Master’s wife Hongxing was cheating on.

I heard that the Imperial Preceptor knew astronomy and geography, was handsome, and had all the power in the government. He could make the Imperial Preceptor’s wife betray such a perfect Imperial Preceptor and secretly have an affair with that adulterer. Who could that adulterer be?

Grandma Tan shook her head.

She said, "I don't know. I was just a lowly servant who was taken advantage of by the Imperial Master's wife. I was not even her confidant. Naturally, she would not tell me such secret things."

Jing Feiyuan felt a little regretful.

Pity.

The Imperial Master's wife is dead, and I'm afraid that the events of that year have been completely buried, and no one can tell the child's life story clearly anymore.

Even though she was reborn, she still didn't know this secret.

In the previous life, the capital was peaceful. Grandma Tan and the child's family in the countryside died silently. There was no one to collect the bodies, and they did not cause any ripples in the capital.

Thinking of that child, Jing Feiyuan asked Granny Tan, "That child of yours in the country should come to the capital in a few days, right?"

Grandma Tan nodded, "Yes, I just sent him a letter. It should arrive in three to five days."

Jing Feiyuan asked again, "What's his name?"

Grandma Tan said, "People in the village have common names. I named him A Niu, Tan A Niu."

Jing Feiyuan laughed. The name was indeed quite ordinary and quite rustic.

She looked sideways at Ji Wushang and found that Ji Wushang had a solemn expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

She squeezed Ji Wushang's finger and said, "Your Majesty?"

Only then did Ji Wushang come back to his senses.

He held Jing Feiyuan's finger back and then looked at Nanny Tan.

After watching for a few breaths, he suddenly said, "Just now Yuan'er went to see the Queen Mother. Aunt Tan, are you going?"

Grandma Tan was startled.

She suddenly looked at Ji Wushang.

Thinking of her own first reaction when she saw the Queen Mother, she asked with some anticipation, "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Wushang stared into Nanny Tan's eyes and said word by word, "Does that Queen Mother look familiar to you?"

After hearing this, Grandma Tan suddenly slapped her thigh!

She said excitedly, "It turns out that my old eyesight is not wrong. Your Majesty, you also think that the Queen Mother and the Imperial Master's wife are very similar in appearance, right? Oh, I just followed the lady in, and I was scared when I saw the Queen Mother!" She looks so similar to the Imperial Master’s wife, she and the Imperial Master’s wife are almost carved out of the same mold, I thought at the time that the Imperial Master’s wife had resurrected from the dead!”

When Ji Wushang heard this, his pupils tightened.

He asked, "Are you sure that the appearance of the Imperial Master's wife and the Queen Mother of Qin are so similar that they are the same person?"

Grandma Tan nodded repeatedly, "Sure! If it weren't for the age difference, today's Empress Dowager Qin would look exactly like the wife of the Imperial Master back then, exactly the same, really exactly the same!"

Ji Wushang nodded.

He asked Aunt Tan again, "When the Imperial Master's wife asked you to leave with her child, did she give you and the child any tokens?"

Grandma Tan shook her head, "The Imperial Master's wife didn't give me anything. She only gave me two hundred taels of silver and asked me to buy a house in the countryside, buy more than ten acres of land, and live an ordinary country life with my children. .”

Ji Wushang frowned.

There is no token of any kind, so it’s hard to check...

He responded and signaled to Nanny Tan, "Okay, I understand. Nanny, go and accompany the little whale."

Grandma Tan stood up and saluted.

Before leaving, she asked carefully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking, what is the relationship between the Queen Mother Qin and the Imperial Master's wife?"

Ji Wushang answered her, "The wife of the Imperial Preceptor's surname is Qin. She is the eldest daughter of the old Prime Minister Qin who retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago. The Queen Mother Qin is what the Prime Minister's Office calls the second daughter. Therefore, the Queen Mother of Qin and the Imperial Preceptor Madam is a biological sister from the same mother."

Grandma Tan suddenly realized, "My direct sisters, no wonder they look so alike!"

After clearing up her doubts, Grandma Tan bowed and left the pavilion.

After Nanny Tan left, Jing Feiyuan, who had been silent all this time, looked sideways at Ji Wushang.

She asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Ever since you heard that the Imperial Master's wife betrayed the Imperial Master and gave birth to a child for an adulterer, your expression has changed. Could it be that you know who the Imperial Master's wife was and who the adulterer was?" ?”

Ji Wushang rubbed his eyebrows.

After being silent for a while, he whispered, "I'm worried that Tan A Niu is the offspring of the old emperor who just died a few days ago. He is of royal blood and is my nephew."

Jing Feiyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes.

She whispered, "You mean, it was your bastard imperial brother who cuckolded the Imperial Master back then?"

Ji Wushang nodded, "There is a possibility."

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Ci'an Palace, his eyes far away, as if he had seen it many years ago.

He said slowly——

"In the early years, due to the strife in the palace, I was harmed by others. I have not been in the capital since I was a child. When the Imperial Prefect's Office was raided and executed, I was on my way back to the capital from the border. When I returned to the capital, everyone in the Imperial Prefect's Office was already dead. Therefore, I have never seen what the wife of the Imperial Master looks like."

"After returning to the capital to bid farewell to my father, I went to the border again. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the capital from the border again at the age of sixteen, I unexpectedly picked up a woman outside the city."

"She is the current Queen Mother Qin."

"At that time, she was just an unknown girl who was seriously injured and unconscious."

"I brought the unconscious girl back to Prince An's Mansion. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my brother waiting for me at the Prince's Mansion."

"Brother Huang was about to come forward and talk to me. Unexpectedly, when he saw the unconscious woman held by the guards behind me, he suddenly froze. He stood there and stared at the unconscious woman without blinking for a long time. Check your eyes."

"It wasn't until I called him that he came to his senses."

"After he came to his senses, he bluntly said that he fell in love with the woman at first sight. He said that such a beautiful woman was born to be the emperor's wife, and he wanted to make her his concubine."

"I knew that Brother Huang was cold-hearted and unreliable. I was afraid that he would become frivolous and the woman would not be responsible, so I refused to hand the woman over to him, saying that I picked her up outside the city and was now seriously injured and unconscious. Whether she wants to join the palace as a concubine or not, I have to wait until she wakes up to decide, I have no right to make the decision."

"When the emperor heard this, he threw up his sleeves angrily and left."

"And just half an hour after the emperor left, someone came from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"The leader is the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He said that the seriously injured and comatose woman I picked up was the second young lady of their Prime Minister's Mansion. He said that their second young lady was weak when she was born. She was fostered by the Prime Minister in a Taoist temple since she was a child. Now she is pregnant for some reason. Shan was also injured, and they were ordered to take the second young lady back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

"I naturally question this statement. After all, I have never heard of a second lady in the Prime Minister's residence before."

"However, the second group of people came to the Prime Minister's Mansion soon."

"This is the Prime Minister's wife who lives in seclusion."

"As soon as the prime minister's wife showed up, I believed that the woman I picked up was the second young lady of the prime minister's residence. Otherwise, they are so similar, they are mother and daughter."
