When is it time for mandarin ducks to say goodbye?

Chapter 109 The Truth
Du Qingming was quite satisfied with this son-in-law, but it was not a wonderful thing to see him quietly appearing in front of her at this moment.Looking around, Du Qingming asked, "Are you okay?"

Wei Xianyuan's eyes were deep, panting heavily, without explaining, he looked straight at him and asked, "Does Master Du know about Madam Ling's life experience?"

His body froze, Du Qingming turned his head away: "My wife is just the daughter of a small family."

"Small household?" Wei Xianyuan said in a hoarse voice: "In the previous dynasty, the ten thousand families had a lot of wealth, and after the daughter-in-law entered the palace, it was even more prosperous for a while. Everyone in the capital is well-known as a big household. How can you be a small household in the mouth of adults? "

Pupils shrank slightly, Du Qingming looked at him suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"My lord was the censor of the palace in the previous dynasty, so it doesn't seem difficult to rescue a noble concubine in the harem." Wei Xianyuan really wanted him to refute himself, so he spoke slowly: "Especially a pregnant concubine, isn't it? "

Du Qingming's face turned pale suddenly, looking at Wei Xianyuan, he didn't know what to say for a moment.He has been hiding this matter for so many years, and he never thought that one day he would be questioned face to face by someone, and this person was his son-in-law.It's impossible to silence him, but...but how would he know?

"...Didn't your lord want to refute?" His eyes dimmed, Wei Xianyuan clenched his fists: "In other words, these are all true."

"Let me take it easy, old man." Du Qingming staggered two steps and walked slowly towards the study.Wei Xianyuan followed, looking at his flustered back, he was basically sure that Zhao Wanxian was Concubine Wan Gui.

"I don't know how you learned about this." Sitting on the chair, Du Qingming was still trembling: "What is your purpose for coming to see this old man?"

"Father-in-law." Instead of being called an adult, Wei Xianyuan expressed his position as soon as he claimed: "I just came to ask, what's going on, it's about Weiyang after all."

Lowering his eyes, Du Qingming let out a long sigh: "You like Wei Young, you won't betray her, right?"

"Yes." Wei Xianyuan nodded without hesitation.

Slightly relieved, Du Qingming said: "Then I will tell you, this matter started more than ten years ago."

20 years ago, Chu State and Jin State started to fight. The internal turmoil in Chu continued, and they retreated and defeated. In the end, Emperor Chu De, Concubine Wan Gui and other concubines were imprisoned in the palace together, waiting for the emperor of Jin to deal with everything, and then moved the capital.

At that time, Du Qingming was just a palace censor. Seeing that he had no intention of resisting, the Jin people recruited him and sent him to watch every move of the emperor and concubines to prevent any trouble.

Within two years, Concubine Wan Gui was pregnant, and people from the state of Chu rioted in the capital, and the state of Jin sent people to suppress it. After massacring [-] people, Emperor Chu De committed suicide, and only Du Qingming was by his side before he died.

"I know that you are from the state of Chu..." Emperor Chu De looked at him and said, "After I go, take good care of the noble concubine, she is pregnant, she will definitely...be a beautiful child."

Frankly speaking, Concubine Wan Gui's talent and beauty are all over the world, and Du Qingming has only met her twice, but she has been in love for many years, so that she never got married.Although it is very unkind to take advantage of the fire and rob at this juncture, Du Qingming was willing to accept this errand, and immediately tried a way to open up the relationship and secretly replaced Concubine Wan Gui.

"Where is Xuande?" Wan Guifei looked at him blankly and asked, "Didn't you say that Xuande is waiting for me outside?"

Du Qingming cupped his hands: "Madam, this is the house arranged by the emperor for you. You take care of yourself first, and the emperor will come after a while."

Suspicious, Concubine Wan Gui believed the lie, but it didn't take long for the news of Emperor Chu De's suicide to be widely known, even if the four maids around her tried their best to hide it, they couldn't hide it after all.

Du Qingming was very afraid that Concubine Wan Gui would follow Emperor Chu De, so he guarded her without sleeping for several days.

Concubine Wan Gui looked at him and smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm still pregnant, I won't take this child away with me."

She did what she said, and she really waited for Wei Young to be born before drinking poison to commit suicide.Du Qingming went crazy and tried every means to save her, but after a few days, she was rescued, but she went crazy.

"It's good that she's crazy." Du Qingming's eyes were full of tenderness: "If she's crazy, she won't remember those painful things. Emperor Chu De doted on her very much and spoiled her like a child. Fortunately, she is still the same now. To be able to live like a child."

Wei Xianyuan was shocked: "Father-in-law, do you know what crime will be charged once this matter is discovered?"

"I know." Du Qingming smiled: "The whole family is copied and chopped."

"But if there is no Wanxian, I will be full of people, and I will be the only one."

His heart was hit by something, Wei Xianyuan looked at him with an indescribable feeling.

No wonder Zhao Wanxian would snatch it when she saw the imperial decree. Bright yellow is the color of the royal family, the color of the dragon robe that Emperor Chu De often wore.No wonder the four aunts in the courtyard were acting strangely. It turned out that they were the maids next to Zhao Wanxian.No wonder Gu Qinhuai treated Wei Young so well, but he didn't marry her in the end, it turns out...they are related by blood.

I don't know if Wei Young will faint if she knows this.

After tidying up his chaotic thoughts, Wei Xianyuan raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know who Gu Qinhuai is?"

"Isn't he the imperial son-in-law?" Du Qingming frowned: "I don't like him very much all the time, I don't know why."

"Probably because he resembles Emperor Chu De?" Wei Xianyuan raised his eyebrows.

After a slight pause, Du Qingming frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Gu Qinhuai hides the jade seal of the previous dynasty." Wei Xianyuan said indifferently: "Since my father-in-law has experienced the wars of the previous dynasty, my son-in-law would like to know who usually holds the jade seal of the previous dynasty?"

Du Qingming was dumbfounded again, stood up and said: "How could Gu Qinhuai have the jade seal from the previous dynasty! It was given to the imperial guard by Emperor Chu De, and sent to the empress and prince who are far away!"

The queen of the former dynasty was pregnant when the war started, and she was deeply worried, so she was sent to the mountain to rest by the emperor. The prince was born later, but the emperor did not let anyone pick him up. He only ordered the crown prince to be established in a hurry, and someone sent the Chuanguo Yuxi away. .

It was said that the queen died shortly after giving birth, and the prince was handed over to the nanny to take care of him. After the defeat of Chu State, the prince disappeared.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that, except for the prince, no one will keep such things as jade seals privately.

Counting his age, Du Qingming's face was ugly, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "It's really evil!"

Wei Xianyuan pursed his lips: "So he is really the former prince."

How amazing, the prince of the previous dynasty has become the consort of the current dynasty, and he is still stirring up trouble in the court.

"You know all these things, what do you plan to do?" Du Qingming frowned: "If Gu Qinhuai really has this identity, he must not be allowed to continue to expand his power, otherwise the Jin Kingdom may be in chaos again."
