Chapter 574 Nangong Xuanyu knows the truth about the third prince
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Concubine Hao was not an unreasonable person. She knew that this was her own choice, and it was not Concubine Wu's fault that the remaining three pearls were not found.
She made Wu Changzai endure the cold weather and freeze in the Imperial Garden for so long, as a revenge for his imitation of her favor.
The grudge between them was thus settled.
Concubine Hao waved to Concubine Wu and said, "I understand. You can go back now."
"I will send someone to find the remaining pearls."
Wu Changzai lowered his head and replied "yes", then turned around and left with Tan'er.
Chu Er looked at their backs, feeling somewhat indignant: "My lady, why did you let Wu Changzai go so easily?"
Lady Hao shook her head: "After all, the conflict between Concubine Wu and I was just a matter of jealousy. There is no deep hatred. Why do you have to torture her to death?"
Then, she looked at the gift beside her and said, "Besides, I am pregnant now, and Concubine Liang doesn't want me to have a grudge with the concubines in the harem and put myself in more danger."
"Why should I make the Queen worry?"
Chu Er's eyes flashed with understanding: "So that's it."
"It's just a bargain for Concubine Wu."
the other side.
On the way back to Luoying Pavilion, Tan'er couldn't help but sigh, "My lady, when I went to Shuiyue Pavilion just now, I was trembling with fear. I thought that Concubine Hao would make a big fuss about this matter."
"I didn't expect that Lady Hao is not as bad as I imagined..."
Wu Changzai shook her head: "In the harem, you are not afraid of being a good person, nor are you afraid of being a bad person. You are just afraid that you are not completely good, and you are not completely bad..."
The correct approach for Concubine Hao is to either pretend that she really doesn't care, imitate her, and then pull her into her own camp. In this way, when Concubine Hao is pregnant, she will have an extra capable helper.
Or he could just be ruthless and take advantage of the fact that she is pregnant with the royal heir and has someone to rely on to completely crush to death a rival who has had a grudge against him!
But Concubine Hao made things difficult for her, but did not completely ruin her future. How stupid she was!
With Concubine Hao's temperament, she will suffer a great loss in the palace sooner or later.
And for the sake of Yaozu's life and future, she will stop at nothing to climb up, even stepping on anyone she can use to get to the top!
Including Concubine Hao!
Tan Er nodded, not quite understanding: "My lord, what should we do next?"
Because I took the initiative to go to the Yangxin Palace to express my gratitude and apologize, His Majesty did not vent his anger on me because of the young master's affairs, but I still felt uncomfortable after all.
There are so many beauties in the harem, why would Your Majesty favor a concubine who makes you feel uncomfortable?
In the past few days, His Majesty not only did not turn over the young lady's name card, but also did not send anyone to deliver any rewards.
If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before the young master will be on the bench again...
Wu Changzai said calmly, "Don't worry."
"Everyone in the palace knows that it is better to lean on a big tree for shade. Since Concubine Liang has extended an olive branch to me, how could she watch me fall from favor?"
"Tomorrow, we will go to Changchun Palace to pay our respects to Concubine Liang."
Tan Er smiled and said, "Yes!"
There were some things that she kept secretly in her heart and dared not say.
During these few nights, the young lady often hid in her bedroom and cried because of her worry about her son being exiled to Ningguta.
Tan Er thought that this was a great thing! Otherwise, how could the young lady have the motivation to compete for favor?
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Li Changde walked in cautiously from outside, even breathing lightly: "Your Majesty..."
He had served the emperor since he was a child and was the person who knew the emperor best in the world. Similarly, how could the emperor not understand Li Changde?
Seeing Li Changde's appearance, Nangong Xuanyu knew that something had happened, and it was a serious matter.
He put down the memorial in his hand, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Which concubine in the harem is restless?"
Li Changde lowered his head and shook his head, saying, "Neither."
"Your Majesty, some time ago, you asked me to send people to investigate among the people in private, and found that some people's situations are similar to the third prince. Now, now there is a result..."
As he said this, he handed over the information in his hand.
The emperor's heart sank. He took it silently and looked down at it.
After a period of investigation, the people sent by Li Changde found several living people with similar situations to the third prince in several places within the territory of the Great Zhou.
One of them was an adult, two were children, and the remaining three were infants.
They all have wide-set eyes, flat noses, and unusual faces. At the same time, their palms are broken and their fingerprints are hoof-shaped.
The other three babies, like the third prince, had weak sucking ability when feeding. Even after being several months old, they could not lift their heads, roll over, or crawl.
As for the two children and one adult, not only did they have this condition when they were young, but their intelligence was obviously lower than that of normal people when they grew up.
There are also some similar children who died before they grew up...
In other words, people in this situation would be fools even if they could live to adulthood.
Including the Third Prince...
Seeing the emperor's increasingly gloomy face, Li Changde was so scared that he knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
If he wasn't the most trusted eunuch of His Majesty, Li Changde would have worried that if he knew about such a royal scandal, His Majesty would kill him...
Even though Nangong Xuanyu had already prepared in his heart that the Third Prince might be different from ordinary people, at this moment, when the glaring facts were laid out before him, he still found it hard to accept.
why? !
Why is it that he has so few offspring to begin with, and now he only has two princes? The eldest son is difficult to raise, and even if he is raised, he will be a fool?
No one understood the shock and grief in the emperor's heart at this moment...
He was silent for a long time before asking, "…are there people with similar conditions who have been cured?"
Li Changde knelt down and shook his head.
Nangong Xuanyu's heart sank again...
Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Wange who was imprisoned in Yawenyuan.
Jiang has always had many wonderful ideas, and even knows many strange things that others don't know. Maybe she has a way?
Nangong Xuanyu stood up and walked out with big strides.
Li Changde hurriedly followed behind, holding the whisk.
Your Majesty, where are you going?
Yawen Garden.
The guards were all surprised to see the emperor, and they saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu walked over without looking away: "Open the door."
"Yes!"
There is a heavy iron lock on the gate of Yawenyuan.
On weekdays, Jiang Wange would write down his brilliant ideas on paper, or the eunuch would deliver meals through a small hole opened on the side.
The gate of Yawenyuan has not been opened for a long time.
Because Jiang Wange was still of great use, the emperor did not reduce any of her funding.
