The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 312 Goodbye Sang Youqing, back to Hexi (3)
Sang Youqing was thoughtful, then murmured: "It seems that there is a lot of fog and a lot of questions. But in fact, everything is involved in the last deeply hidden secret."

The two looked at each other in unison, as if they both had a clear understanding in their hearts.

If it is said that the emperor's love is the root cause, then it cannot be explained why the third prince wanted to kill and the second prince wanted to save.

If not, then what is the reason for this result?
What was that thing that was tried so hard to hide?
The second prince's reaction obviously knew the secret.So is he in the same camp?
"Miss Sang grew up in the capital city, and she is the most talented woman in Southern Chu. General Sang is an important minister in the court. I don't know, do you know something that involves the two princes and the prince at the same time?" Chu Qing suddenly asked.

Sang Youqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Chu Qing's words.

She lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, pondered, thought carefully, and finally frowned and shook her head: "In my impression, I don't remember that the three of them were too involved. When I was young, the third prince was weak, and he seldom had a relationship with his peers. People come and go. There is some friendship between the second prince and the prince. The two even went to visit the third prince together and talked with him. Later, when the old prince passed away, the prince sealed himself up and appeared in front of people again. He has become a playboy. Not to mention that he has little contact with the royal family, even the sons of various families in the city disdain to be with him, and there are a few of them, and they are all playboys."

"How about going further?" Chu Qing asked unwillingly.

The intersection point of the three is a new breakthrough.Since there is no abnormality in the past ten or twenty years, let's continue to push forward.

"Going up?" Sang Youqing continued to recall, and after a while, she murmured: "If you really want to find one thing in common, it is that the mothers of the two princes were once queens."

two queens? !
A bright light flashed in Chu Qing's mind.Suddenly, a voice in her heart told her that this was the intertwining point she was looking for so hard.

Immediately, she asked: "Miss Sang, can you tell me the story of these two empresses in detail?"

Sang Youqing pursed her lips and nodded slowly: "I'm actually not very clear about this matter, I only know the general idea. It is said that the second prince's biological mother is His Majesty's original concubine. When His Majesty just came to the throne, he went hunting once, but While chasing prey, he broke away from the brigade and lost his way in the deep mountains. At that time, the empress, the biological mother of the second prince, was about to give birth, but she was worried about her majesty's safety, so she led people to search for her regardless of the danger. When she finally returned to the palace, she was already born. The second prince, but her body has become weak since then, and she died half a year later."

Chu Qing nodded, thinking inwardly: This queen is also infatuated, but she died a bit wronged.If she hadn't gone out of the palace to look for the emperor back then, she probably wouldn't have given birth outside, and the root cause of the disease would have fallen.

"After the death of the first empress, the ministers came to remonstrate, saying that the harem should not be without a queen for a day, but at that time, His Majesty was too sad and refused to establish a new queen. After nearly a year, His Majesty canonized the noble concubine at that time. She is the biological mother of the third prince, who will be the queen and take charge of the harem." When Sang Youqing said this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and doubts flashed in her eyes.

Her sudden pause made Chu Qing, who was listening attentively, look at her, and asked softly, "Miss Sang?"

After being taken aback for a moment, Sang Youqing smiled and shook her head: "I just think there is something weird about it. The new queen was conferred the title of queen because she was pregnant, but she suddenly died of a sudden illness before giving birth. The third prince is her posthumous child."

"What!" Chu Qing was startled, her eyes widened, and she sighed, "It's no wonder the third prince's body is weak, so he was less than a month old when he was born."

After finishing speaking, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and said pointedly: "It seems that the two queens of our Majesty did not live long."

Sang Youqing smiled and didn't answer, but continued: "This incident has hit His Majesty very hard, and later he chose the eldest princess' mother as his queen, and it has been to this day."

Chu Qing thought about it, and murmured to himself: "There are other princes in the palace. Although they are all underage, their mothers have at least continued the bloodline for the royal family. Why didn't the emperor make these concubines queens, instead standing upside down with only one child?" Is it because he really likes the current empress?"

Sang You listened to the clear self-talk, and also said: "We have no way of knowing what the emperor is thinking. However, the third prince and the second prince are both descended from the direct line, although the second prince is more orthodox. But if they want to fight for the throne, the two are evenly matched in terms of status. But, if they want to win the heir, what does it have to do with the prince? Why would he be implicated?"

Suddenly, Chu Qing's eyes flashed, and he asked: "I heard from the prince that he has never seen his mother, and there has never been a princess in Xiaoyao Palace. What's going on?"

Asked this, Sang Youqing also looked blank, shook his head and said: "I really haven't heard the rumors about Princess Xiaoyao, but I heard my father mention it occasionally, saying that the old prince once left Jianning for a while and came back Afterwards, he took a baby with him and asked the emperor to make the baby his son, but the emperor agreed without asking any further questions."

so strange?
Chu Qing was puzzled, the three children seemed to have different backgrounds, did they really have a direct connection?Because of this connection, it led to the current situation?
The two women fell silent. During the question and answer, both of them felt that they had grasped something, but they didn't grasp anything.

After a while, Chu Qing asked unwillingly: "Miss Sang doesn't have any clues about the old concubine? Perhaps, knowing who she is and where she is so far, is she dead or alive?"

This mysterious woman was Zhao Shenghao's mother, so Chu Qing naturally wanted to know her whereabouts.

Sang Youqing pursed her lips tightly, frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly her eyes lit up, she looked at Chu Qing and said happily: "I remember. Back then, the prince first entered the palace, because there were very few women in the palace. So I invited the ladies from the city to the palace as guests, in fact, it was to make up for the lack of the prince's mother. My mother was also invited. After she came back, I vaguely remembered that she had said to my father with pity, The poor prince was so infatuated, he fell in love with folk girls, but he ended up with a yin and yang. It's just that I was passing by at the time, and I was too young, so I can't remember what happened after that."

"Folk women, yin and yang are separated?" Chu Qing said these two sentences repeatedly, and sighed in his heart.

Although Mrs. Sang said a short sentence, she had revealed two pieces of information.That is, Zhao Shenghao's mother was not an aristocratic lady from a famous family, but an ordinary folk girl.Perhaps it was when the old prince was traveling among the people, they met by chance, and the two fell in love with each other, so they got married secretly, and Zhao Shenghao was born.
