Looking at Xiao Huaijin's determined eyes, Jiang Fang couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious. If these incidents were not planned by Xiao Boyuan, but by Xiao Huaiyan, then why did the military doctor in the military camp die so tragically?
Could it be that there was a rebellion? But Xiao Boyuan can be regarded as the eldest son of a county prince's family. When Prince Chang becomes old and frail, won't he inherit the throne of the county prince?
How could he commit the crime of planning a rebellion with Xiao Huaiyan? It seemed like he would get no benefit at all. The rebellion also carried such huge risks, so why did he bother?
Xiao Huaijin said: "The fake queen mother who is now in office should be a slave that Xiao Huaiyan bought from the slave owner before, and he is good at oral skills.
She can model various voices. I was lucky enough to meet her once at that time. Lao Wu would take her with him every time he traveled. At that time, we had not been ennobled and we were still in the palace together.
Lao Wu has never revealed this matter to the outside world, and I only saw it once in the yard. I guess Lao Wu wants to kill me to silence me, and this should be one of the reasons."
Only then did Jiang Fang realize that a person's appearance and figure could be adjusted, but not their voice. When Xiao Huaijin said this, Jiang Fang remembered the voice actors in his own world.
So this kind of skill has been around since ancient times, and in this era, it was also used to please high-ranking officials, and Xiao Huaiyan happened to have such a person beside him.
Xiao Huaiyan's suspicion was indeed getting bigger. Jiang Fang asked: "I, Xiao Huaiyan and Xiao Boyuan are not together. Xiao Boyuan should not know about the Queen Mother's departure from the palace."
Xiao Huaijin said: "This can be considered good news. Now that Xiao Boyuan's wolfish ambitions have been revealed, I am afraid that he is already gathering troops and preparing to give it a go."
Jiang Fang sighed: "It's because of this guy that I left the palace. He caused trouble in the camp where General Leng was stationed. Fortunately, he got there in time, so it didn't cause a big disaster.
Now I rushed back with the intention of meeting up with the Queen Mother to discuss the next matters, but now something like this happened. If Xiao Boyuan knew that the Queen Mother was not in the palace, he would have already raised troops to break in.
This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Now I am already in a mess. I just hope that nothing will go wrong again. Xiao Huaijin, to be honest, I didn’t believe you at first."
Jiang Fang stared at Xiao Huaijin's eyes, trying to see something from his eyes. In fact, she didn't really believe Xiao Huaijin now.
No one in the palace could believe this situation, but she had experienced life and death with Xiao Huaijin before, so she still had some expectations for Xiao Huaijin in her heart.
"I have always known, and no one can believe it in this situation. Your and Queen Mother Jiang's lives are tied together. Both will be prosperous and both will suffer.
If something happens to Queen Mother Jiang, you, the legitimate daughter, will not be able to escape, but you saved my life, so no matter what, I will not take your life.
As the fourth prince, in terms of qualifications, my qualifications to ascend to the throne are indeed higher than those of Lao Wu and Xiao Boyuan, so no matter what, they intend to kill me.
Who doesn't love the supreme power? Jiang Fang, do you want it? You are a smart man, and you know how much it costs to hold this power in your hands, and so do I.
If it were before, maybe I would give it a try and get what belongs to me, but now, I have a bond, I have my mother, I have my fiancée, I am afraid of failure, and I am even more afraid of death."
Xiao Boyuan's eyes were burning. Feelings might really make people let go of everything. Jiang Fang suddenly thought of Duan Jiu. Would he really let go of the world for himself?
Jiang Fang sighed and said: "That's fine, but now this form no longer allows me to choose. Xiao Huaijin, I saved your life, I hope you won't be ungrateful."
Xiao Huaijin smiled and said: "What you should be worried about now is why Lao Wu kidnapped the Queen Mother. It has been three days, but there has been no movement at all. Aren't you curious about what he wanted to do?"
Jiang Fang shrugged: "Of course I want to know, but is this something I can know out of curiosity? Now I just want to know where the Queen Mother may be.
He kidnapped the Queen Mother and left a fake Queen Mother behind, which means that the Queen Mother naturally had something he wanted, so he took the Queen Mother away. The Queen Mother should not be in any danger now."
Xiao Huaijin said: "It seems that you really don't understand this palace anecdote. Has the chattering little palace maid next to you never told you?"
Jiang Fang asked in surprise: "You know a lot."
Xiao Huaijin didn't take it seriously and said: "Lao Wu's mother is Concubine Shu, who was the most favored concubine at that time. You know, this harem eats people without spitting out their bones.
After Empress Dowager Jiang became pregnant, the late emperor often went to Concubine Shu. After Concubine Shu became pregnant, Empress Dowager Jiang always regarded him as a thorn in her side. Once, there was such an uproar that she almost deposed Empress Dowager Jiang as the queen.
After Empress Dowager Jiang gave birth to her eldest brother, no, I should say you, Concubine Shu was eight months pregnant at that time, but even after she became pregnant, she was still very favored. The emperor would go to Concubine Shu almost after he went to court.
Concubine's place.
The Queen Mother must have been jealous. I don't know if it was because of rumors or frame-up, or if the Queen Mother really attacked Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was bleeding that day, and the late emperor was furious.
Later, I don't know which imperial doctor saved the child, but the child was born prematurely and was weak from the beginning. The late emperor always resented the Queen Mother because of this incident, and even threatened to kill her.
However, due to the power of the Queen Mother's family, the late emperor had no choice but to give up. However, in order to compensate Concubine Shu, the late emperor intended to make Lao Wu the crown prince.
Later, the late emperor died of illness, but he drafted a decree to make the Queen Mother's son the emperor. This caused quite a fuss, and everyone thought that the Queen Mother Jiang was falsely passing on the imperial decree.
But after all, Empress Dowager Jiang was the queen at the time, and the son she gave birth to was also the eldest son, so these remarks were suppressed in the end, but Concubine Shu always suspected that Empress Dowager Jiang had done something.
Later, Concubine Shu went crazy and died soon after. Some people said that she died of depression, while others said that Empress Dowager Jiang drove Concubine Shu crazy in order to silence her, but no one knows the truth."
This royal affair was really exciting. Jiang Fang had always known that there was nothing wrong with the harem, but he never expected that the battle to seize the heir would be so brutal.
"So after learning that Jiang Huaigu was not the eldest son and had lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince, Xiao Huaiyan couldn't sit still. The throne was originally his.
And the prince appointed by the late emperor was most likely him, so he didn't want to start a big fight. He only needs the Queen Mother to admit that the imperial edict was a fake made by her, then Xiao Huaiyan can naturally take over, right?"
Xiao Huaijin nodded, and then said: "Actually, things are far more than that simple."
