Shi Zhou admitted: "This is the cloth wrapped around Tong Laoshi's body when he was discovered back then. Everything else was gone, but this piece of cloth was always there. I asked the cloth shop, and this cloth should be a tribute."

"I really don't know any other nobles in this capital city. If this thing has anything to do with the royal family, it might bring Tong Laoshi's death if it is related to the royal family. To be sure that nothing will go wrong.”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "You have indeed found the right person. If you take out this kind of royal tribute and inquire about it at will, it will indeed cause trouble. Ai's family has lived in Dayou Mountain for many years. A blind old woman can't do anything. , I dare not say anything, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I'm still waiting to die in that one-foot-square house!"

Shi Zhou hurriedly said: "The empress dowager, please don't say that, you are not an ordinary person, and only a person with wisdom and a heart like the empress dowager can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and stay in the deep house to wait for opportunities And move, even if it's not me, one day I meet another destined person, and I can still escape smoothly, not to mention, Princess Zhaoqing is a virtuous and filial princess, and will definitely take care of you properly."

While talking, the grandmother who took the fabric came back in a hurry, followed by an old woman.

"The slave pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager asked, "How?"

Grandmother said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this is the old man of Shangyiku. She said that the dark pattern on this piece of Gongbu was embroidered by her back then."

The Empress Dowager looked at the old woman, and the old woman knelt on the ground: "The servant kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. The servant was the aunt in charge of the Yufu Bureau. Later, the Yufu Bureau was abolished, and the slave was assigned to Shangyiku. Specializing in the royal products of the prince and princess's baby clothes, this cloth was sewn with dark patterns by the servants themselves."

She gestured carefully on the cloth with her hands: "There are two incoming threads of the same color passing through here, and the words 'Exclusively for Prince Ning's Mansion' are sewn on. Please enlighten the Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager's eyes really couldn't see. It took only a few months for her to be able to see from a blind person. Today, the imperial doctor is also telling her not to overuse her eyes every day.

Shi Zhou followed the side to look carefully, following the lines of the old woman's fingers, he really saw the word "Ning Wang".

Therefore, the earlier speculation has come true, and Tong Laoshi is indeed from Ning Wangfu.

The Empress Dowager has already sat up, if Tong Laoshi is from Prince Ning's Mansion, then he is a descendant of the royal family!
But, how could the children of Prince Ning's Mansion be wandering outside?
Shi Zhou didn't speak, but glanced at Tong Laoshi who was talking to Wu Niangzi, and the empress dowager said, "Zhaoqing, honestly, go back to the palace, take him around the imperial garden, if you meet His Majesty, Just tell Your Majesty that this child is Aijia's favorite, and he has saved Aijia's life."

Tong Laoshi was uncomfortable staying here, but when he heard that he could go out, he was immediately happy.

Wu Niangzi said to him: "Go, I will show you what the imperial garden of the palace looks like!"

After they left, Shi Zhou recounted what Zhen Youfu told her at the beginning, and finally said: "Zhen Youfu concealed his name honestly and lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. The killer organization Yinketang discovered it. As a result..."

After listening to Shi Zhou's speech, the Empress Dowager was already surprised, "Honestly, he is the son of King Ning who had an accident back then!"

This is very consistent with Shi Zhou's conjecture, Shi Zhou didn't say a word.

The Empress Dowager said again: "Prince Ning is a person who has been on the battlefield and is loyal to His Majesty, but his heirs are weak. The first Concubine Ning was weak and sick, and died before giving birth to a son and a half. How many people like King Ning The good woman was thinking about it, but in the end, before she was dismissed and sent away, a personal maid by Princess Ning's side somehow climbed onto King Ning's couch and became pregnant."

"Prince Ning has a few heirs, so he naturally wants that child, but the woman's status is too low to be on the stage. What's more, King Ning must have a new Concubine Ning, so the child will become invisible. Then During this period, King Ning went to the frontier to stay for a few years, and returned to Beijing after bringing the frontier to stability, and the child is already in his teens."

"He is a meritorious minister. Naturally, His Majesty can't treat him badly, so he personally chose a marriage for him and pointed to the princess. The new princess is the daughter of the censor. She is young, beautiful and dignified. After seeing the portrait, King Ning liked it very much. It's just that she is 16 years younger than King Ning, and only three years older than King Ning's concubine. The new concubine is here, so the identity of Ning Wang's concubine can only be more concealed, and the life of the child and his biological mother in Ning Mansion is naturally not easy."

"Fortunately, Princess Ning discovered the existence of the child not long after she passed the door. Prince Ning also confessed the truth to Princess Ning and obtained Princess Ning's understanding. The life between the child and his biological mother gradually became better. The child is sensible and filial. , study hard, but..."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "After Concubine Ning became pregnant, the child's attitude towards Concubine Ning changed."

Shi Zhou couldn't help asking: "Is it because the child in Princess Ning's belly threatens the child's future identity?"

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Yes, everyone knows the reason. Originally, as long as the child can be adopted by Concubine Ning, it is equivalent to being raised under the name of Concubine Ning, and he will become the heir of King Ning in a legitimate way in the future. But once Princess Ning is pregnant, his identity will naturally be threatened."

Shi Zhou can probably guess what happened next, and Mu Xuan also said that it would be fine if Princess Ning gave birth to a princess, but she gave birth to a son, which means that the child in Princess Ning's belly will definitely be a new one. King Ning, the bastard completely lost his chance.

Prince Ning's concubine is approaching adulthood and already has great ambitions. How can he bear to be snatched away by a newborn baby?
"By the time we find out, it will be too late!"

The Empress Dowager said with emotion, "King Ning is naturally angry, but his son died. At that time, he didn't know who did it. It was later discovered that it was related to the son. At that time, the child became the only blood of King Ning. If he killed him Having a child to avenge his legitimate son is equivalent to losing two sons at the same time."

"The child was imprisoned for two years, saying that it was to make him reflect on his repentance, but he was released after two years. Princess Ning later gave birth to a little princess. King Ning waited for two years, and Princess Ning had nothing to do, so she I planned to let the concubine be recorded under the name of Princess Ning, and then make him the eldest son, but I didn't expect that one month before the adoption, the old injury left by King Ning when he was in the frontier relapsed, directly killing him."

"Now, the concubine directly skipped the process of being a son, and became King Ning directly. The former Princess Ning was also hit hard. Later, she thanked guests behind closed doors and concentrated on raising the little princess."

Shi Zhou didn't finish speaking, and waited until the Empress Dowager finished speaking before saying, "Prince Ning is really a strange person."
