III Jiangshan

"Baoxiang, what exactly do you want to investigate?" Concubine Wei Xian asked.

"What happened back then," Yuan Youqi paused, "Mother Concubine, I want to know what happened back then."

Since he couldn't hide it from his mother and concubine, Yuan Youqi planned to face it head-on.

Back then...

Concubine Wei Xian's lips turned pale instantly.Is Baoxiang going to investigate that matter?Is the most frightening thing about to happen?

Concubine Wei Xian is calm and resourceful, thinking that the 16-year relationship between mother and daughter might be coming to an end, she suddenly felt that everything she had done was meaningless.

Her eyes darkened, and she swayed.

"Mother concubine!"

Yuan Youqi was shocked, hurriedly supported her, and sat on the Luohan couch beside her with her shoulders around her.

She didn't dare to continue her topic, for fear of provoking Concubine Wei Xian again.

She poured half a cup of warm tea and brought it to Concubine Wei Xian's mouth.

Concubine Wei Xian took her hand and took two sips, only to feel that her heart was not so stuffy and uncomfortable, and her eyes gradually recovered their vision.

"What does the concubine mother think? Do you want to pass Fan Lang over to take a look?" Yuan Youqi asked anxiously.

Concubine Wei Xian shook her head lightly.

She looked sideways at Yuan Youqi's worried face, sighed faintly, and Fang said slowly, "What did you hear?"

Yuan Youqi was slightly stunned, surprised that the mother concubine could immediately think of "what I heard".

However, the mother concubine's sudden rush of anger also made her feel weird.

She has always been filial, and felt sorry for what the mother and concubine had endured in the harem, she pursed her lips and said in shame: "Did the child say something that made the mother and concubine unhappy?"

More than unhappy!Concubine Wei Xian's eyebrows jumped twice, she told herself not to panic, not to rush.

"No. It's just a little accident." Concubine Wei Xian said.

These words cannot convince Yuan Youqi.

There was already a big question mark in her heart.

She carefully looked at Concubine Wei Xian's expression, and then cautiously probed: "Concubine Mother, Imperial Father..."

She lowered her voice, "... When Father was young, did you do something... that you shouldn't do?"

Concubine Wei Xian was terrified, and hurriedly said seriously: "Where did you hear such words?"

When Yuan Youqi heard the words, the guess in his heart had already been confirmed by eight or nine points.

She thought for a while and said respectfully: "This is why the boy bypassed the concubine mother and wanted to check the records of Fengming Tower in the past."

Seeing Concubine Wei Xian's suspicious expression, Yuan Youqi said again: "A son doubts his father, and a minister doubts the emperor. This is already rebellion. I don't want my mother and concubine to be in a dilemma between the truth and human relations. If my son can't find out, then that's fine; If it is found out, there is no need to let the mother concubine take responsibility."

Human relations include not only father and son, monarch and minister, but also husband and wife.The emperor and his concubine are husband and wife, and they are also monarchs and ministers. They cannot escape the shackles of human relationships.

Concubine Wei Xian stared at her quietly, chewing on the meaning of her words, her heart gradually returned to its original position——

Baoxiang said so, so the so-called "events of the past" are not about life experience.

As long as it is not that, everything is nothing.

Immediately, Concubine Wei Xian felt that her breathing became much easier.She took Yuan Youqi's hand, pressed it between her palms, and said softly: "You are talking like a child! You and I are one body, isn't your relationship with being a mother? Don't you just want to be yourself? What you want to do, but make your mother worry about it, is it because you are filial?"

The shame on Yuan Youqi's face was even worse, and he lowered his head and said: "Yes, what the concubine mother said is true. It's because the child is not thinking carefully..."

Her obedient appearance made Concubine Wei Xian feel pity and pain, and she couldn't help but recall her thin and small appearance when she was just born and when she was carried in front of her.

How difficult it is for such a small person to be raised so big and so beautiful!

The children in the harem were not easy to support. Of the nine sons of Emperor Wei, only four survived, and including Yuan Youqi, there were only five.

The child's life experience was full of twists and turns, the front court and the harem were full of dangers, and I don't know how many people were staring at him.Only Concubine Wei Xian knows the bitterness of being able to raise her so big.

"Okay, don't blame yourself anymore," Concubine Wei Xian smiled lightly, "Mother, who would seriously be angry with their own child?"

Yuan Youqi's heart was warm and moved.If she hadn't taken into account that she was so old, she couldn't behave too childishly, she really wanted to put her arms around the concubine mother's arm and act coquettishly.

"Then, let's hear it, what exactly are you looking for?" Concubine Wei Xian didn't forget the topic.

Having said that, Yuan Youqi looked solemn.

"Mother and concubine, how did Yongyi Hou pass away? And Miss Gu Shuyan, is there something hidden behind her death?" Yuan Youqi said bluntly.

As if a thunderbolt struck Wei Xianfei's ear, Wei Xianfei widened her eyes in horror, "Which one do you hear say such things!"

really!Yuan Youqi thought secretly.

"Who on earth said that!" Concubine Wei Xian's voice was shrill.

The mother-daughter warmth that had just started to swell suddenly dissipated.

"Concubine mother, calm down!" Yuan Youqi was very worried that Concubine Wei Xian would faint again.

She wrapped Wei Xianfei's arm, and said in a slow voice: "I just want to know if these things were really done by the emperor..."

Concubine Wei Xian's lips trembled slightly.

Yuan Youqi's heart was broken, and he simply said: "If it is really the father... who killed loyal and brave generals and killed innocent women, the father... the father...he is not worthy of being the emperor!"

"Presumptuous!" Concubine Wei Xian sternly stopped her.

Yuan Youqi is also clear that it is not only presumptuous to comment on Junfu like this, it can be called treason.

But now that she had confirmed this matter in her heart, she couldn't restrain her strong contempt and disdain.

In her mind, she has always believed that the king should be the watch of all people.Even if the emperor's personal character is not as good as the great virtuous and virtuous, the four words "bow to state affairs" are the minimum requirements.

However, what did her good father do?Let alone marrying Gu Heng forcibly, and plotting against his own son, these are temporarily regarded as the Tian family's own affairs.So what is it to count as killing a general who went out to kill the enemy for the country?What is it to kill a courtier's daughter and take a few lives?

Yuan Youqi didn't know the details, but with her intelligence and her understanding of Emperor Wei, Xiao could figure out the general outline of the matter.

"Yes! What the concubine mother said is true! The child is indeed presumptuous." Yuan Youqi stood up, shook his robe, and knelt in front of Concubine Wei Xian.

Concubine Wei Xian's face was pale, her chest heaved.

"As a subject, as a son, but a child makes such comments about his father, it is a crime worthy of death!"

Yuan Youqi suddenly changed the subject, and said loudly: "But, if someone is not even qualified to be a king, and kills people in vain, and harms Zhongliang, shouldn't he deserve to die?"

Concubine Wei Xian's lips trembled even more, and even her voice trembled: "You know, if your words alone are heard, both you and my mother will die without a place to bury them!"

Yuan Youqi's complexion also turned pale, and he immediately bowed: "My son knows. But my son also knows what kind of situation the concubine mother is in control of now."

The harem is now under the control of the mother and concubine, even if the child tells the truth, he is not afraid.

Concubine Wei Xian stared intently at Yuan Youqi's kneeling figure and the black hair on top of her head. After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth——

It really is Gu Jingyan's daughter!

Ah!With such a character, even if he is humiliated, even if he can't speak, he still doesn't lose his dignity.

Jingyan, your daughter's temperament is very similar to yours, do you know that?

In the past, Concubine Wei Xian was like Yuan Youqi's child. One of the things she planned was a secret, and the other might involve Yuan Youqi's life experience. She never told Yuan Youqi.

She just wanted to do her best to pave a smooth path for Yuan Youqi, avenge her big revenge logically, and help Yuan Youqi become the emperor.

It's not that she hasn't tested Yuan Youqi's ambitions, but she found that this child is a little too affectionate, whether it's for Gu Heng or Wei Di.Emphasis on friendship is not a good character for an emperor.

Concubine Wei Xian never expected that the other side of this child's emphasis on affection is the distinction between right and wrong.

But it turned out that it was not scheming, but an upright heart that led this child to this path!

Concubine Wei Xian felt relieved suddenly, a big rock in her heart, which she was worried about every day, finally fell to the ground without warning at this moment.In an instant, the lumps that had been stagnant in my chest for nearly 20 years disappeared in an instant.

She felt that no matter what sacrifices she had made, was, or would be in the future, it was worthwhile at the moment of confirming the child's character.

However, there is one more thing, which is a question in her mind, and she has to ask clearly——

"Get up." Concubine Wei Xian said calmly.

Yuan Youqi thought that she would be scolded by her concubine, but unexpectedly, her concubine was speechless for a while, but she calmed down like this?

She raised her head hesitantly, looked at Concubine Wei Xian's expression, she didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"What? Have you grown up? Don't you listen to your concubine mother?" Concubine Wei Xian raised her eyebrows.

Yuan Youqi hurriedly stood up.

Based on her understanding of Concubine Wei Xian, the concubine mother should not be angry.

Concubine Wei Xian stared at her as if she had grown taller again, and her facial features became more and more open, becoming more and more dazzling.

"The concubine mother is not angry?" Yuan Youqi accompanied carefully.

Concubine Wei Xian snorted: "You are promising, why are you so angry!"

Yuan Youqi blinked, unable to distinguish Wei Xianfei's real meaning for a moment.

But Concubine Wei Xian said: "Want to know what happened back then?"

Yuan Youqi nodded hurriedly.

"Okay! You tell Concubine Mu first, who told you these words."

Yuan Youqi froze.

"How? Even the mother and concubine can't believe it?" Wei Xianfei sneered, "Then don't tell me! Whoever told you, you can ask whoever!"

Yuan Youqi's mouth twitched slightly.

She really didn't want to betray Seventh Brother.It's not that she can't trust her mother and concubine, but that she knows very well that what a person knows has a lot to do with the decisions he makes.Even though the concubine mother would not do anything to the seventh brother and Duke Zhang, there is no guarantee that the concubine mother's decisions would not be affected by this incident.

That's all!Yuan Youqi's heart skipped a beat.

She believed in her mother and concubine.In terms of the ability to know people and do things, she knows that she is not in the same breath as her mother and concubine.

Therefore, since she intends to embark on this road of seizing the throne, she must need assistance and advice from her mother and concubine.

Therefore, Yuan Youqi told Concubine Wei Xian what Yuan Chengxuan had said.

Concubine Wei Xian listened silently.That's all, he laughed suddenly: "What a Zhang Guogong! What a slippery old man!"

Yuan Youqi twitched the corner of his mouth again.

Concubine Wei Xian looked at Yuan Youqi very seriously, every word was carved in Yuan Youqi's heart and mind——

"Baoxiang, remember, since you are determined to take this path, Concubine Mu must tell you clearly that what we do is for public as well as private."

"For the public, it is for the future of Great Wei; for the private, it is for the relatives in heaven."

"You have to remember these clearly. In the future, no matter what your identity is or where you are, don't forget your original intention today."
