Chapter 126 The Past in the Palace

Seeing that Su Hua no longer had to worry about why he climbed over the wall, Li Xuanzhi slowly relaxed, curled his lips slightly and nodded.

Su Hua glanced around, then took a few steps forward, grabbed Li Xuuzhi's wrist, and whispered, "Your Majesty, since you came quietly, I will take you to a small path where no one will find you."

While speaking, Su Hua tugged Li Xuanzhi's wrist slightly and led him onto a path full of trees in the back garden.

Wangfu liked to explore the road the most, so he ran ahead of the two of them, while Chabao followed behind, with his little ears raised high, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Su Hua grabbed Li Xuanzhi's wrist and walked behind Wangfu. The summer wind blew through the forest, bringing with it some hot flashes. Su Hua's long hair that fell to her waist was blown up by the wind, blowing on Li Xuanzhi's face. The aroma becomes stronger.

Li Xuanzhi was slightly dazed. His gaze passed over the Fusu branches and leaves, past the mottled light spots, and finally fell on Su Hua, who was walking two steps in front of him.

I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but I always felt that since meeting this girl, he always seemed to feel the feeling of being taken seriously and treated seriously.

After staring like this for a long time, Li Xuanzhi suddenly lowered his eyes slightly and curled his lips.

Soon, Su Hua took him to avoid the other people in the Su Mansion and walked to the door of Mrs. Su's study. After Su Hua repeatedly asked Wangfu and Cha Bao to confirm that there was no one around, she took Li Xuanzhi into Mr. Su's study. room.

As soon as she entered the room, Su Hua let go of her hand, and the slightly wet feeling on her wrist made Li Xuanzhi suddenly feel a void in his heart.

He calmly retracted his hand, shrank his sleeves, and hid them behind his back.

In the room, Mrs. Su, who had just taken medicine, was lying on the bed, but his complexion was much better than yesterday.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, Mr. Su put down the letter in his hand and looked up. When he saw Su Hua and Li Xuuzhi walking in, he had a slightly surprised look on his face.

Li Xuanzhi bowed to Old Mrs. Su, and when he stood up again, he explained his purpose of coming. After being silent for a while, Old Mrs. Su asked Su Hua to make tea and asked Li Xuazhi to sit on the low stool next to him.

After Li Xuanzhi lifted up his robe and sat down, he told the story of following the Imperial Master last night, but concealed the presence of Su Hua. When he mentioned that the person the Imperial Master saw was not the Wan family, Mr. Su's eyebrows raised slightly. rise.

"It's not the Wan family?"

Li Xuanzhi nodded and pondered for a moment before adding, "The person who spoke last night deliberately covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and it was difficult to distinguish the male from the male in his voice."

At this time, Su Hua, who was making tea at the side, answered, "If nothing else, he should be a man, and he won't be much different in age from your grandfather."

Seeing that the other two people in the room looked at her with some doubts, Su Hua thought for a while and then said, "Because when I opened the door, I saw the pattern on the silk wide-sleeved robe that the man was wearing. Crane pattern.”

"Usually, patterns like this are mostly used on people of my grandfather's age, right?" Su Hua took some boiling water and continued, "People of Wang Ye's age mostly have cloud patterns or bamboo patterns. This kind of meaning also means good."

"What Hua'er said makes sense." At this time, Mr. Su nodded and thought for a moment, "You just said that this person mentioned the name of a concubine in the palace, Wanwan?"

Li Xuanzhi hummed and continued, "Yes, they also mentioned one thing later..."

At this point, Li Xuanzhi's voice lowered slightly, and the sound of Suhua pouring water even drowned out his voice. "Your Majesty seems to have an heir living outside. His name is Shu'er. He is not very old."

As soon as he said these words, the study suddenly became quiet, and the sound of boiling water being poured into the tea cup became clearer.

After three sips, the fragrance of tea instantly filled the room.

As if he suddenly came to his senses, Mr. Su opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Li Xuanzhi's arm and whispered, "What did you just say?!"

Mrs. Su held Li Xuanzhi's arm with great strength, and Li Xuanzhi was shaken involuntarily.

He steadied himself and looked up at Mr. Su, and repeated what he just said in a low voice.

At this time, footsteps came from the door. Wangfu stood up from the ground and looked at the door warily. Su Hua straightened her skirt, got up and walked towards the door.

After leaving the door, she saw Nanny Chen coming over with some food. When she saw Su Hua standing at the door of Mrs. Su, she stopped, handed the things to Su Hua, and relayed Mrs. Su's words to Mrs. Su to keep warm. After one time, she left.

When Su Hua returned to the house with her things, Mrs. Su seemed to have regained her composure, but her slightly closed eyelids were trembling.

After Li Xuanzhi's voice fell silent for a moment, he spoke again, "Teacher, I actually thought about it last night. Do you think the child we overheard might be Concubine Lin at that time..."

"No, it's impossible." Mr. Su answered quickly this time, with a bit more certainty in his tone. "You were still in the north at the time, so you may not know as much about this matter as I do."

"And the reason why I know this so clearly is because when Concubine Lin lost that child... I was right next to her."

As soon as these words were said, Su Hua and Li Xuanzhi looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Ordinarily, courtiers and harem concubines would not meet each other unless...

Just when the two of them thought of this, Mrs. Su's voice sounded again, "I was talking to His Majesty in the study at that time. It was late at night, and Concubine Lin came over to see His Majesty with ginseng soup."

"Shortly after His Majesty received her ginseng soup, Concubine Wan Gui also came with sweet soup."

"In the end, His Majesty only drank Concubine Wan Gui's sweet soup and put the bowl of ginseng soup aside." Mr. Su's expression fell into memories, "After that, the two empresses retreated from the study together, but not long after, something suddenly happened outside. Concubine Lin’s screams rang out.”

"When Your Majesty and I went out for a look, we happened to see Concubine Wan Gui going down the steps with a pale face, trying to help Concubine Lin who rolled down the steps, but she was kicked away by Concubine Lin who was holding her stomach and screaming in pain."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Su paused, "This was His Majesty's only heir at that time. His Majesty was very nervous and summoned all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to diagnose and treat Concubine Lin, but in the end the child could not be saved."

As he said this, Mr. Su looked up at Su Hua and Li Xuanzhi, and said after a slight pause, "After all, Concubine Lin gave birth to her child under the noses of all the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital. If the Lin family could have that level to bribe the entire Imperial Hospital. , I don’t believe it.”

"Afterwards, Mrs. Lin went to the palace to ask for an explanation from His Majesty. But after His Majesty heard what the Imperial Master said, he insisted that it was not Concubine Wan Gui's fault. In the end, Mrs. Lin resigned and left. I was still with him that night. I drank for a long time.”

Mr. Su recalled it carefully again, and finally said, "I still remember Mr. Lin's expression at that time. If you think about it, I should be like this. It doesn't look like he is faking it."

"Also, Mr. Lin has always been attached to the mountains and rivers and has no intention of participating in these struggles. When Mrs. Lin participated in the fight for the heir, he made his position clear to Emperor Chen early and completely ignored her."

"This is also why after Emperor Chen came to the throne, he only retained his lineage of the Lin family... Concubine Lin and Prince Hui both died tragically under the Bai Ling poisonous wine."
