Lady Hua Guo nodded with a smile, and turned to the maid behind her. "Bring a chair for Lady Rui." After giving the order, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, "How is it going? Has the baby been troubling you recently?"
Yun Shang shook her head and smiled, "The baby is really sweet. Since I got pregnant, I have never had any symptoms except for feeling sleepy. And I have no trouble eating and drinking.
"Good. You are so considerate to your mother now. I'm sure you will be a good kid when you grow up." Lady Hua Guo smiled at Yun Shang's words.
As the maid lifted the chair out, Yun Shang sat down beside Lady Hua Guo.
Yun Shang thought of what Liu Yinfeng had said before. She lifted her eyes and looked at the children who were reading military books. She thought for a moment and said: "I met Liu Yinfeng on my way here. We talked for a while and somehow mentioned the seventh prince..."
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang, "Oh? What happened to the seventh prince? "
"Not really. Recently, he has made such an scene for the matter of Liu Chuchu. A few days ago, the seventh prince was kneeling outside the Taiji hall for two days. It also reminded me of the time when we were in the State of Ning. Has grandfather ever mention some matters happened in the State of Ning?" Yun Shang thought it over and glanced at the expression of Lady Hua Guo from time to time.
Lady Hua Guo shook her head. "No. He's never mentioned
Yun Shang continued, "The death of the crown prince was actually a scheme of the seventh prince, together with Li Jingyan and Cangjue Qingsu. The seventh prince tried to frame Qingyan, so Qingyan arrested him and imprisoned him. It was his majesty who came to his mansion and asked Qingyan to set him free."
Yun Shang noticed that Lady Hua Guo frowned. She continued after a pause, "I was surprised at the emperor's attitude towards the seventh prince. It seems that his majesty is so indulgent to him."
"I've asked around about the reason. It seems to be related to Lady Liu. I'm confused now. Normally, Qingyan should be the one his majesty feel most sorry for. But why his majesty treats the seventh prince more... What's the secret?" Yun Shang looked up and asked softly.
Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo sneered. After a long while, she sighed. "It's been a long time. In fact, your grandfather and I almost didn't care about these affairs back then, so we don't know much about it. Since you want to know the truth, I'll tell you."
The maid served Yun Shang a cup of fruit tea. Yun Shang tried the temperature of the fruit tea before she took her hand back and listened to Lady Hua Guo.
"Lady Liu is called Liu Feixue. His majesty met her not long after Ling'er died. The Emperor didn't believe Ling'er has passed away. He had been searching for her with his guards for a whole year. It's almost the death anniversary of Ling'er. His majesty intended to go for a walk in the place where Ling'er disappeared, so he brought several guards with him. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain fell. The road was slippery, and his majesty fell down from the hillside by accident. It was Liu Feixue who saved him." There was a bit of sarcasm in Lady Hua Guo's voice. Yun Shang was confused, but she didn't ask. "Liu Feixue... Liu Fengxue looked a bit like Ling'er, so his majesty slept with her when he was clouded in mind. Then he brought her into the imperial palace. Liu Feixue, the daughter of a butcher, was promoted as a concubine soon. Lady Liu had miscarried for twice, and it was not until her fourth year in the palace that the seventh prince was born. The seventh prince has been so smart and clever since he was a child that the emperor loves him very much. " Lady Flua Guo frowned slightly.
"Later, when he was five years old, something happened, which should be the reason why the emperor spoiled him so much. It was also the death anniversary of Ling'er. At night, his majesty went to the place where he had known Ling'er. Unexpectedly, he went insane. Lady Liu was killed by his majesty that night, and the seventh prince was seriously injured by his majesty. It's why the seventh prince is ill and unable to recover." Lady Flua Guo sneered, and remained silent for a long time.
Yun Shang was stunned. This was completely different from the rumors she had heard before. It was said that Lady Liu was poisoned by the empress, and the seventh prince became the victim of the Imperial battle. Fie was poisoned, which resulted in the lingering effect of the illness.
Yun Shang thought carefully, but realized that Lady Flua Guo's words were full of loopholes. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "Flow could his majesty go wild all of a sudden? And if his majesty went there that day to memory mother, even if he went insane, why did Lady Liu suddenly appear and be killed by his majesty? "
Lady Flua Guo snorted again and said with a smile, "Even an outsider like you noticed that, but someone believes that the soul of Ling'er killed Lady Liu and hurt the seventh prince because she couldn't bear that his majesty favored someone else. The emperor had sent for many Taoists and monks, and they all said like this. The rumors spread quickly, and the emperor killed several people who gossiped about it. He ordered not to mention this again, which ended up becoming a secret that could not be talked about in the imperial household. And it was also because of this that his lordship had given up on politics."
