Chapter 582: The reason seems to have been found
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes and said fiercely: "Money makes the world go round!"
"As long as I spend a lot of money, am I afraid that I won't be able to find someone in the martial arts world to work for me?"
"Xiaohuazi, I'll leave this matter to you!"
There is no shortage of killer organizations in the world. As long as they are paid enough money, what would they not dare to do?
If they were asked to assassinate the concubine, many people might hesitate, but when His Majesty takes the virtuous concubine out of the palace, he will definitely hide his identity.
The killers didn't know she was the virtuous concubine, so they attacked her without restraint.
Xiao Huazi certainly would not miss this opportunity, as he was deeply trusted by Concubine Shu. He immediately said, "Please rest assured, I will do this beautifully and ensure that Concubine Xian dies outside the palace!"
Concubine Shu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes!"
Cuizhu asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, for such an important matter, would you like to go to the Cining Palace first and discuss it with the Empress Dowager?"
Concubine Shu knew what Empress Dowager Liu would say without having to think.
It simply means that Concubine Xian is now at the peak of her power, so she should stay out of the spotlight for the time being and be patient for a while.
In the palace, the one who laughs last is the ultimate winner.
Bear with me!
Every time, her aunt told her to endure it!
Anyway, she was the one who was wronged, not her aunt who was the queen mother of a country!
She really had enough!
Concubine Shu frowned and said impatiently, "I have waited so long for this opportunity to get rid of Concubine Xian, and I will not allow anyone to stop me!"
"Without my permission, no one is allowed to reveal a single word to the Queen Mother, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Cuizhu and Chu Xiyan immediately lowered their heads and said, "Yes!"
Knowing that the matter was settled, Cuizhu did not contradict Concubine Shu. She stood behind her, massaged her shoulders, and complimented her, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry."
"Anyway, after the Lantern Festival, there will no longer be anyone like the virtuous concubine in the palace..."
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, but still held on to a last glimmer of hope in her heart.
What if... the news is wrong? In fact, Your Majesty has never thought of taking Concubine Xian out of the palace to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
That beautiful memory still belongs only to the two of them...
Chu Xiyan heard all the secrets, and her heart was filled with turmoil!
She knew that since Concubine Shu had chosen her to take over Cuizhu's job, she must have investigated her background.
Fortunately, she spent a lot of money to forge her identity, and the female teacher helped her to forge it, so she replaced the identity of another orphan.
Even if someone wanted to investigate, they wouldn't know where to start.
Otherwise, how could she have stayed peacefully beside Concubine Shu until now.
After entering the palace for so long, Chu Xiyan has never found a chance to take revenge. When she heard this secret today, her heart suddenly started beating.
Concubine Shu wants to assassinate Concubine Xian, which is a serious crime!
If Concubine Xian knew about it in advance and caught Concubine Shu in the act, wouldn't she be completely overthrown? !
Thinking of the meeting tonight, Chu Xiyan took a deep breath to calm herself down so that Concubine Shu would not notice anything unusual.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Li Changde hurried in from outside, and after paying his respects, he told them the results of the investigation.
"…Your Majesty, I have sent someone to find the midwife who delivered Xiao's mother many years ago."
"I learned that Xiao actually has a sister who was born with a broken palm."
"Following this line of inquiry, I discovered that Xiao's elder sister is most likely the Tang child that Jiang Wange mentioned."
"It's just that she died at the age of five, and not many people know about this."
"I have also made detailed inquiries. The servants who served her in the past found out that her face and various features are very similar to those of the Third Prince..."
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were somewhat deep: "...I know."
Perhaps it was because keeping this secret in her heart was too painful; or perhaps Jiang Wange was the only one in the palace who knew something about Tang's child.
Nangong Xuanyu unknowingly walked to Yawenyuan again and told Li Changde the results of the investigation.
After listening to this, Jiang Wange's eyes flashed with contemplation...
Down syndrome is caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Although it has little to do with genetics, it is not completely unrelated.
Xiao Yueying's mother gave birth to a child with Down syndrome, so it is not surprising that Xiao Yueying also carried a certain gene and passed it on to the third prince.
Of course, she is not a medical student, let alone a professional. These are just her guesses, and Jiang Wange cannot guarantee whether they are accurate or not.
She understood that Nangong Xuanyu just needed a place to talk and didn't really want to listen to her analysis. Jiang Wange tactfully kept silent.
The emperor was silent for a long time, then stood up and left.
Li Changde followed behind him, thinking silently that it certainly couldn't be His Majesty's fault that a problematic royal heir was born. It could only be the concubine's fault.
Fortunately, the entire Xiao family has been executed, otherwise His Majesty would definitely order that no girl from the Xiao family is allowed to enter the palace again.
Otherwise, what if a prince or princess with problems is born one day?
Seeing that the emperor had been in a very heavy mood since he learned about this, Li Changde calmly changed the subject: "...Your Majesty, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. When you and the Concubine Xian go out of the palace to relax, I believe you will feel much better."
The emperor could only comfort himself that even if the third prince was a moron, as long as he was born into the royal family, he could ensure that the third prince would enjoy a life of wealth and glory.
At least... he still has the Fourth Prince.
Concubine Hao and Concubine Sun are both pregnant and will definitely give birth to two healthy children for him!
He had promised Nian Nian that he would go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and he couldn't go back on his word.
Nangong Xuanyu asked in a deep voice: "Have all the guards been deployed?"
Li Changde nodded and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the guards will disguise themselves as civilians and vendors and follow nearby to ensure the safety of you and the Concubine Xian."
……
Zhongcui Palace.
The sky gradually darkened.
Fuqiu came in and reported, "My Lady, the Master sent a message to me about what you asked me to investigate a few days ago. He said that Xiyan was an orphan who had suffered a lot since childhood. Because she couldn't make a living, she happened to meet the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was buying palace maids from the people, so she sold herself to the palace."
"This is consistent with what the Ministry of Internal Affairs recorded and what we have investigated."
"As for whether this identity is true or false, we need to investigate further to find out."
Shen Zhinian's eyes darkened: "Let's talk about it after I see her tonight."
"Yes!"
As the hour of midnight approached, Handan came in and reminded, "My Lady, it's almost time."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly: "Let's get ready to go."
"The slaves obey."
Because tonight's operation was very secretive, Shen Zhinian only brought Handan and Xiao Zhouzi with him.
After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at the remote Changyin Pavilion.
