Xiao Zhige's biological mother, Li pin, was originally just a beauty selected. Because of his beautiful appearance and good at dancing, he won the favor of emperor Anqing. But this love is not long. Later, when Xiao Zhige was born, there was a bad omen. Li Pin tried to save him by death, but the mother and son lost the emperor's love from then on
it's a taboo for the concubines to kill themselves in the palace. The empress had already buried her body, and he didn't even see her last face
he once doubted the Queen's words and refused to believe that his mother would choose to kill herself and leave him behind. What's more, what happened when they were not in the palace
"there is no basis for words. Why should I believe you?" Xiao Zhige tried his best to maintain his expressionless appearance, but his hand on his knee had been tightly clenched into a fist
with a tight heart, an Changqing looks at Shu Ling and stops. Her eyes suddenly cool down and she gets up to see off the guests
"we will check whether it is true or not. If there is nothing wrong with general Shu, please go back. "
he gave the order without any hesitation. Shu Ling was not annoyed when he stopped. He shook his head and sighed: "it's because I didn't think about it. Maybe I shouldn't say it."
Shu Ling stopped smiling, bowed his hand perfunctorily, and strode out
although he felt that Shu lingting dared to say this today, eight out of ten were true
moreover, the affairs of Li pin are mostly related to the empress. Shu lingting said that he was repaying his kindness, but he wanted to take the opportunity to stir up a fight between them and the queen<
Xiao Zhige looked up at him, and his pupils trembled slightly. An Changqing clenched his hand even harder: "it's late today. I'll go to Princess Chang's mansion tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"<
after looking at each other for a long time, Xiao Zhige was very difficult to spit out the word "go", and his voice was hoarse<
the king of the Northern War was always invincible. He was a clanking man who could kill the enemy with a gun even when he was wounded. An Changqing had never seen him so fragile. The truth of Li Pin's death broke through his copper and iron armor in an instant and defeated him<
although he is still calm, an Changqing looks at Xiao Zhige, who just came back from the palace that year, and suddenly learns that his mother's wife died<
an Changqing didn't say those empty and useless words of comfort, but held his hand tightly and accompanied him silently<
Xiao Zhige looked down at the hand they held for a long time and then said in a dumb voice: "after my mother's death, I had been secretly looking for a long time, but I didn't find any trace. Everyone told me that she couldn't stand the hardship of the cold palace and chose to kill herself. "At first, he didn't believe it, but later, when he couldn't find any evidence and heard more, he gradually believed it and gave up to pursue the truth.
But his mother's concubine is a tough and cheerful woman. Even if she lost her favor and moved to Qifeng palace, which is the same as Lenggong palace, even if the servants below took the helm and even had to cut off the food and clothes, her mother's concubine never showed any sadness.
She came from a civilian family, and when he was so hungry that he cried, she went to the garden to find flowers and plants to eat, and made cakes for him with the flour. When her clothes were clipped, she pulled the curtain to make cloth for him, and made a jacket for him to wear in the cold.
Li Pin once enjoyed the emperor's favor, and she didn't know how many people were attracted. Later, when he lost his power, he didn't need those noble men to do it, so he had a lot of servants who could look at him and make them do all kinds of tricks. For many years, mother and son lived together. However, she was always gentle and loved Xiao Zhige. She did her best to give him what she could and protect him from growing up safely.
How can such a tough mother abandon her 9-year-old son and choose to kill herself?
"I shouldn't have believed it." Xiao Zhige's voice trembled: "she died unjustly, but I believed what outsiders said and gave up searching for the truth. Let her die in the dark... "
He muttered to himself, "my mother must be very disappointed."
"it's not like that." Hearing this, an Changqing felt sad and hugged him in his arms: "you were so young at that time. How can you find out that those people cheated you together?"
"I'm sure she won't blame you." An Changqing patted him on the back and said in a soft judo voice, "she loves you so much. I'm sure she's looking forward to your good life. Besides, it's not too late for us to avenge her now... "
Feeling the strength on his waist increasing, an Changqing sighed and hugged him.

Xiao Zhige was silent that night, and his fragility in the hall for a short moment seemed just an illusion. He had dinner with an Changqing peacefully, took a bath, and even went to see his two children. Then he took a rest with an Changqing.
The whole person calmly told an Changqing to be a little scared.
No one slept that night.
As soon as it was light, Xiao Zhige got up. He didn't seem to be different from the old days. However, an Changqing was shocked by the anger that occasionally crossed his eyes.
After breakfast, they went to Princess Chang's house together.
Princess Chang's mansion is magnificent, but the gate is deserted. Since Princess Chang and her husband-in-law had a quarrel, they moved back to princess's house from the Cai family. Since then, the couple have been living in other houses. And Princess Chang's house is closed door, rarely with people.
Xu was rarely visited. The porter saw that they were stunned for a while, and then went in in a hurry to report.
After waiting for a moment, the mammy beside the eldest princess came to meet her, and her eyes narrowed with laughter: "the prince and the princess are really rare guests. The eldest princess misses you most every day."
Xiao Zhige is silent. An Changqing smiles politely and follows her into the main courtyard.
When they went in, they saw the eldest princess standing at the gate of the courtyard looking towards them from a distance. Her eyes touched both of them, and her cold expression instantly warmed up. She came up slowly and said, "why did you come here all of a sudden?"
An Changqing looked at her, perhaps in her own house, she was dressed very homely, with a plain face, but in this way, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were revealed.
With a sigh in his heart, an Changqing didn't beat around the bush. He looked into her eyes and said, "Wang Ye has something to ask his aunt."
Xiao Youxi was stunned, and the smile on his face faded. When he went to see Xiao Zhige again, his eyes were heavy. The last smile disappeared. She pursed her lips, and her expression became extremely pale. It seemed like a moment and a long time later, she sighed silently and ordered the mother to wait outside the yard. You should guard the door yourself. No one is allowed to come in without my command
Then he said to an Changqing, "come with me."
Three people go into the room together, and then mammy closes the door and window, and the light in the inner room darkens.
This should be the usual resting place for the princess. There is a small table in the middle of the room with four futons on the side. Several on a volume of Buddhist scriptures, a pot of tea.
Compared with the magnificent Princess mansion, the inner room is much more simple.
Three people are seated. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige sat on one side, and the eldest princess sat alone opposite them.
After pouring tea for them in person, Xiao Youxi even gave them a faint smile. She had a shivering feeling of fear but expectation. After so many years, she finally had a relief.
"Ask what you want." She said.
An Changqing didn't speak and went to see Xiao Zhige. Xiao Zhige's pupils trembled and asked in a deep voice, "how did my mother and concubine die?"
Xiao Youxi was in a trance for a moment, and he vomited out a long breath: "you really know."
She dropped her eyes and pondered for a moment, as if she were pondering what to say. Those sealed up memories in her mind stirred up again. For a long time, she just said: "it was the prince who killed her by mistake."An Changqing was stunned. He thought the killer would be the queen. How could he be the prince?
Xiao Zhige obviously did not want to understand, but then he thought of something general. His face was colder than before, and his eyes were cold.
Xiao Youxi didn't look at them. She knew that they must have been as shocked as she had just known the truth.
That year, the prince was only fourteen years old. He is the legitimate son of the palace, and has a strong mother's family as the backing. As soon as he was born, he was canonized as the crown prince and taught as a prince since childhood. The Empress Dowager and the queen are very strict with him, and he performs very well. He is better than his brother in both study and ability. From the age of 12, he was brought by Emperor Anqing to teach politics.
So that year, when Emperor anqing went to the palace in Chunshan to hunt in autumn, he left the crown prince to supervise the state. No one thought that under the appearance of his politeness, he was a lunatic with twisted mind.
That year, his son-in-law, Cai Xiang, did not accompany him and stayed in charge of the defense of the palace. Xiao Youxi and his young husband and wife, naturally did not go to autumn hunting, went to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. She recalled what she had seen that night. For many years afterwards, she had imagined that she had never known about it, so that she would not have to bear this deep sin and not be able to sleep day and night.
She closed her eyes, straight back slightly bent: "the Queen's teaching is strict, the crown prince is obedient on the surface, but in the dark, she is gradually rebellious. Xu Shi once saw that Li Pin loved you very much, and he gradually became jealous... "
No one can understand what he was thinking at that time. The 14-year-old boy said that it was too early for a man, but he already knew about human affairs.
It happened that emperor anqing took Xiao Zhige to the palace. Only Li pin was left in Qifeng palace, so he had a different idea. Later, the prince explained that he was just jealous of Xiao Zhige's care and love for his mother. He never felt her love, so he went to find Li pin.
The prince said: he just wanted to make Libin love with him like Xiao Zhige.
But Libin not only didn't want to be close to him, but also went out to call people. The prince was just flustered and dragged the man back by force. Two people entangle under, the prince accidentally strangled Li pin.
The Empress Dowager and empress both believed it, and later emperor anqing also believed it.
Xiao Youxi has always felt that the prince may not be just such a simple mind. Li pin was the emperor's concubine. At that time, she was only 25 years old, and the prince was 14 years old. Although she was not old enough to get married, there were already people around her.
This kind of speculation is too dirty, maybe people know it clearly, but no one publicizes it. After all, Li pin was not violated in the end.
The crown prince is also the crown prince of a country. He must not carry such a dirty spot as the harem.
The royal family can't spread scandals, Emperor anqing won't allow it, and the Zhao family won't allow it.

Only Li pin was left in Qifeng palace, so he had a different idea. Later, the prince explained that he was just jealous of Xiao Zhige's care and love for his mother. He never felt her love, so he went to find Li pin. The prince said: he just wanted to make Libin love with him like Xiao Zhige. But Libin not only didn't want to be close to him, but also went out to call people. The prince was just flustered and dragged the man back by force. Two people entangle under, the prince accidentally strangled Li pin. The Empress Dowager and empress both believed it, and later emperor anqing also believed it. Xiao Youxi has always felt that the prince may not be just such a simple mind. Li pin was the emperor's concubine. At that time, she was only 25 years old, and the prince was 14 years old. Although she was not old enough to get married, there were already people around her. This kind of speculation is too dirty, maybe people know it clearly, but no one publicizes it. After all, Li pin was not violated in the end. The crown prince is also the crown prince of a country. He must not carry such a dirty spot as the harem. The royal family can't spread scandals, Emperor anqing won't allow it, and the Zhao family won't allow it.
