Chapter 169

Su Shixia heard something wrong with Mr. Mo's tone, looked at him suspiciously and curiously and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"It happened nearly 20 years ago. Almost everyone in Shangjing City knows about it. You should also..."

Mr. Mo suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, as if thinking of something, nodded slightly and said: "I almost forgot, you only came to Shangjing when you were ten years old, and you have been kept in the inner house all the time. Don't understand much."

Feeling that Su Shixia's gaze was slanting towards him, Mr. Mo didn't make any detours, and explained to her directly: "The current sage has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son was born by the imperial concubine, and now he is named King Su, and the third son is King An And Princess Jiale, who is ranked fourth, are both descendants of Concubine Xian."

"What about the second prince?"

Su Shixia immediately grasped the key point, "Could it be that he is the grand-nephew whom Princess Yu said... the favorite grand-nephew of Prince Yu?"

"Ah."

Mr. Mo responded with a low voice, lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze also fell on the jadeite nine-linked ring in Su Shixia's hand.

"The second prince was born to the concubine Shu. The concubine Shu and the majesty were childhood sweethearts. After entering the palace, he was also favored by the majesty. And the second prince is also talented and intelligent. He has learned both civil and martial arts at a young age. Fu Kuazan is a man of heaven, with unparalleled intelligence."

"You are very clear about this balance technique."

Mr. Mo said: "Qin Yi's biological mother used to be Concubine Shu's personal maid. In fact, on the day that Concubine Shu and the second prince died, Qin Yi's biological mother also brought him into the palace."

Although he had already expected it, Su Shixia couldn't help but frowned the moment he got the confirmation from Mr. Mo.

"Ah."

"The royal family is really complicated."

"But later, the civil strife in Xiqi was quickly quelled. The prince who took the position happened to be a military general, and he was also the brother of the deposed empress. After he ascended the throne, he also marched on his own. After fighting for a whole year without being able to decide the winner, the two countries can only negotiate a peace.”

Su Shixia couldn't help but asked, "You said earlier that the empress was demoted to the imperial concubine, is it because of this incident?"

"The fire in Concubine Shu's palace was investigated to the end, and it was found that Xiqi had sent killers to do it secretly, trying to get rid of the second prince and push the eldest prince to sit on the crown prince as soon as possible."

Su Shixia listened to what Mr. Mo said, the more she listened, the more she frowned.

All of this seemed logical at first glance, but... She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain why for a while, and finally just asked, "Then what happened after that? Won?"

"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong..."

Hearing Mr. Mo say the title "your father", Su Shixia was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and then whispered in disbelief: "Qin Yi's aunt?"

"Princess Yu has already said that the Nine Links are something that Prince Yu wanted to give away but failed to give away. When you mentioned the Holy Son's son just now, you also deliberately skipped the second prince. As expected, the second prince I'm afraid the prince is already dead, right?"

Su Shixia curled her lips, "After all, the concubine Shu and the second prince who died in vain were the worst. Not only were their lives murdered, but they were also used as an excuse to start a war, but in the end, the people who really harmed them didn't seem to have paid anything." What a real price."

"She is your husband's aunt."

"what?"

Mr. Mo chuckled and nodded, "That's basically what happened."

"Originally, the Holy Majesty made up his mind to attack Xiqi Kingdom directly. Xiqi Kingdom was also seized by the prince at the time, and it was a time when the internal affairs were unstable, so Dongling Kingdom's conquest of Xiqi went smoothly at the beginning."

"Is it the imperial concubine... Is it the empress at that time who did it?"

Su Shixia raised his eyebrows, "So the empress who was deposed for the so-called 'peace' of the two countries came out of the cold palace again? Although she can no longer be an empress, but for the sake of Xiqi country's face, she still conferred the title of imperial concubine?"

"In addition to the fact that the second prince is extremely intelligent and is the son of Qilin, the rumors have already spread throughout the court, and the officials in the court gradually showed signs of being divided into two factions for the establishment of the crown prince."

Mr. Mo gave Su Shixia a deep look, and pursed his lips. After all, he didn't go any further on this question, but changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, Concubine Shu and you also have some relationship."

Su Shixia's fingers brushed the jadeite nine chains in the brocade box, "Although this thing is expensive, it looks like it's for children to play with. When the second prince died, he was still young, right?"

Mr. Mo let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It was the birthday of the emperor that year, and the palace was extremely lively. It was also on that day that Concubine Shu's bedroom was flooded, and a fire took Concubine Shu and the second prince's mother and son to death. His life was ruined."

"The Holy Majesty was furious when he learned the truth, and directly abolished the Empress and imprisoned her and the eldest prince in the cold palace. The Holy Majesty then personally marched and begged Xiqi Kingdom to avenge the murder of his son."

Su Shixia was really confused this time, "What can she have to do with me?"

"It's true that she was demoted because of this incident, but in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as the holy majesty's anger."

"At that time, the imperial concubine had not been demoted, she had already been made a queen. It stands to reason that the eldest prince is the eldest son of the queen and should be named the crown prince. But the Holy Majesty has never issued an edict, and the position of the crown prince is suspended. decision."

"That's right." Mr. Mo nodded and gave her an affirmative answer.

"When the sleeping hall caught fire, Qin Yi and Aunt Liu were also in the fire, but they lived in the side hall and escaped to save their lives."

Su Shixia raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "What? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Su Shixia nodded suddenly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked in a slightly raised voice: "I heard that the scar on Qin Yi's face was left by a fire when he was a child, could it be that time?"

When Mr. Mo said this, Su Shixia could almost guess what happened next.

"Well, it's really not that old, about the same age as Zhan'er is now."

Mr. Mo said: "The noble concubine was originally the princess of the Xiqi Kingdom. Back then, the Dongling Kingdom and the Xiqi Kingdom formed an alliance. She came to marry Dongling and become a queen."

Su Shixia's overly down-to-earth description made Mr. Mo choke when the words came to his mouth. He slowly raised his eyes, and then his eyes fell on her.

"I said it earlier, everyone in the capital knows about this matter, but you, as his wife, don't even know where the scar on his face came from. You are a princess... but you are really incompetent A little bit."

Mr. Mo seemed to not want to make the atmosphere too dull and depressing, and his words obviously smacked a bit of ridicule.

But Su Shixia didn't respond for a long while, just lowered her eyes and silently stared at the emerald nine rings in her hand, and couldn't help but think to herself, Qin Yi should be about the same age as little Qin Zhan at that time.

How did he survive such a thing?
