Chapter 177 Princess Mingyang
"King Zheng's aunt? Then your mother, isn't she a princess?"

Duan Yi was quite surprised, since the second sister Duan Shu thought that Cui Zi was not the first to be a good match, even Cui Zi was even more of a bastard.

If her mother was a princess, how could she be a concubine to Cui Yu, king of Jiangnan?
Cui Zi didn't nod or shake his head, but he talked about Jin Bo.

"The first emperor's baby name when he was young was Jin Bo. He was born in a water pavilion in the early morning of summer. When the midwife took him out, there happened to be a morning wind blowing, and the lake was sparkling."

"So he temporarily had a baby name called Jin Bo. As soon as a child of the Tian family was born, the national teacher would be invited to tell the fortune. The first emperor and Jin were in conflict, so the name Jin Bo was called Jin Bo. After a few days, he stopped calling him."

"Later, when he became the crown prince, no one dared to call him by his first name, and no one knew the word Jin Bo."

Duan Yi nodded, "But your mother knows."

No wonder the late Emperor saw Jin Bo at King Zheng's feet in the palace, and he loved it very much, thinking that Jin Bo had the aura of an emperor.

He doesn't believe in auspiciousness, nor does he believe in Jin Bo, he is so confident that he sees himself in King Zheng.

"The first emperor has many secrets." Cui Zigeng's tone was very calm, and there was nothing special about it, and it was even impossible to tell the truth from the fake.It was as if he was not telling his mother, but a stranger's story.

"For example, the first emperor actually had a twin younger brother. The appearance of twins in the palace is not a happy event, but an unlucky event. The second son was chosen, and the first emperor was older, so he was kept. The younger brother was handed over to the then emperor's uncle. Cheng Wang, take it out of the palace and deal with it."

"Prince Cheng has been married for many years and has no heirs. He is kind and kind. He was reluctant to kill the child, so he quietly kept the child."

"Wang Cheng is a wealthy and idle king. He took the opportunity of leading the princess to travel around the Great Zhou Dynasty, and put this child under his own name. After that, he lived in Suzhou for many years."

"Maybe it was he who saved the child and accumulated good deeds. After many years, Princess Cheng suddenly became pregnant. The old clam gave birth to a pearl and gave birth to a daughter. That daughter is my mother, Princess Mingyang .”

Duan Yi suddenly realized, "That's why your mother has a marriage contract with Jiangnan Wang Cuiyu."

Cui Zigeng nodded, "Not at first. Princess Cheng gave birth to a daughter, and although she gave birth smoothly, she was in poor health. My mother died of illness in Suzhou when she was six years old."

"King Cheng is old, thinking about that child... By the way, that child is named Chen Tong, and he is my uncle."

"My grandfather took my uncle and my aunt to send my grandmother back to the capital. At the same time, he wanted to hand over the title of King Cheng to his uncle Chen Tong. Although they were twins, they were not together for so many years, and uncle More cover-ups."

"Yeah, looking at it with the previous emperor, there was a big difference. They got away with it just like that. After my mother grew up, Cui Yu was named the new King of Jiangnan, and he went to Beijing to thank him. He stayed in Beijing for a while. day."

"It was during that time that my mother proposed and the two made a marriage contract."

Duan Yi listened and looked at Cui Zigeng's expression, he looked extraordinarily gentle.

Thinking about it, Cui Yu and Princess Mingyang were childhood sweethearts, and they fell in love with each other later.If there were no subsequent changes, I am afraid that they would not be a couple of gods and immortals.

"And then? What happened? Chen Tong's identity was exposed?"

Cui Zigeng nodded, "There is no wall that does not leak in the world. My mother doesn't know. How did the late emperor know the true identity of his uncle Chen Tong. You know, he is very suspicious."

From the tossing and tossing of the late emperor Zanghe Shanyin, it is known that he is simply full and has nothing to do, and he feels that the whole world is trying to harm him.

"That's how people are. When the late emperor didn't know Chen Tong's identity, at most he felt that this cousin was of the same family as him, and he was born a bit like him. But after knowing it, it became more and more wrong."

"Chen Tong is so similar to him, as long as he is killed and replaced, who will find out? The more the late emperor thought about it, the more alarmed he became, so he took the initiative and said that it was a plot against the palace."

As Cui Zigeng spoke, he sighed softly, "My grandfather saved Chen Tong because of a mistake, but in the end he was accused of treason, and he got all his family beheaded."

Duan Yi was startled when she heard that, "Then how did your mother escape?"

"The first emperor wanted Chen Tong's life. As for my mother, no one cared about it. My grandmother's surname was Wang, which was the surname of a wealthy family. The maid beside my mother died in her place."

"Since then, Princess Mingyang has died, and she is just a girl from an ordinary family. My mother was disheartened, and my father also thought she was dead, so he married someone else according to the arrangement of the family."

"The world is unpredictable. After many years, the two meet again..."

Cui Zigeng didn't finish his words, but Duan Yi knew everything that happened afterwards.

Princess Mingyang became Cui Yu's favorite concubine and gave birth to Cui Zigeng.

But this matter, I'm afraid it's like King Cheng leaving Chen Tong behind, leaving behind a huge hidden danger.

"What happened after that? What happened to your father's death? I don't believe you will kill your father."

The atmosphere was a bit heavy, neither Duan Yi nor Cui Zigeng had the usual jokes.

Not every father, like Duan Sixian, would kill his daughter, and not every son and daughter, like Duan Yi, could fight back without emotion.

She has always regarded herself as an outsider, which is why she is so.

But Cui Zi is not.

His father dotes on him very much, and Cui Yu has a very deep relationship with Princess Mingyang.

"This matter starts with my mother's death." Cui Zi smiled mockingly, "Speaking of it, it's the first time I met you."

Duan Yi suddenly remembered that at that time Cui Zigeng led Xuan Yingjun and they were going to the funeral.

"My grandmother's natal family was in Dingzhou. At that time, I was fighting outside and was not at home. I only found out about these things later. My mother suddenly received a letter from Dingzhou, saying that her uncle had passed away. "

"When Prince Cheng's mansion was ransacked, my mother was rescued by my uncle in Dingzhou. She has always been in her heart. How can she remain indifferent? At that time, the Jiedu envoys and vassal kings in various places were very different from before."

"My father was busy with affairs, and he was not allowed to leave the feudal domain without an edict. So he sent a group of elite soldiers to escort my mother to Dingzhou for the funeral. But I never thought that this was a scam..."

"As soon as my mother entered Dingzhou City, she was taken captive. The family didn't know about it, and even her old uncle was still alive and well."
