"What?" Xia Houshu was horrified. He quickly covered his mouth again and lowered his voice and said, "You mean he might not be the son of Prince Ling?"
Before Xia Houyi could answer, she said to herself: "It is said that Princess Zhaoyun and Mrs. Xue gave birth to their children on the same day. As a result, Princess Zhaoyun gave birth to a baby girl, but Mrs. Xue gave birth to a baby safely.
A baby boy... If Yuwen Ke is not Mrs. Xue's son, that means that in order to win favor, Mrs. Xue adopted someone else's child and pretended to be her own son? No wonder they were willing to leave Yu Wenke alone in the capital. Sure enough,
If it’s not your own child, you won’t feel bad!”
Xia Houyi saw that her analysis was succinct and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your analysis is very reasonable. Normal people will think this way when they hear this statement. However, although Yu Wenke is not Mrs. Xue's son, his
He is indeed the son of King Ling."
Xia Houshu frowned and looked at Xia Houyi. She obviously understood every word he said, but why did she feel like she couldn't understand these words?
As we all know, the mausoleum king Yu Wensheng had many children, but the two sons he was most proud of were both born to Mrs. Xue. If Yu Wenke is the son of Yu Wensheng, but not born to Mrs. Xue, then his biological mother is
Who? Did Yu Wensheng ask three women to conceive and give birth to her children at the same time? Then Mrs. Xue was willing to raise children for others? Where did the children that Mrs. Xue gave birth to herself go?
Seeing his sister's eyes blurred, Xia Houyi was worried that she was having random thoughts, so he didn't show off and directly revealed the answer to the mystery, saying: "Yu Wenke is the son of Princess Zhaoyun."
If there had been a mirror at this time, Xia Houshu would have been able to clearly see that his mouth was so open that he could put down an egg due to surprise.
She paused for a while, then reluctantly reviewed the information she had just heard, and then said: "You mean, what Princess Zhaoyun gave birth to was actually a baby boy, who is now Yu Wenke, and what Mrs. Xue gave birth to was actually a baby boy.
Who is it? Whose child is the girl raised by Princess Zhaoyun?"
Xia Houyi knew that she could not believe the news for a while, just like when he first found out this clue, it took him a lot of time to slowly accept it.
He thought for a while and explained as concisely and clearly as possible: "Back then, Princess Zhaoyun was pregnant with twins, but because of the existence of Mrs.
The female doctor who brought her to the palace knew that a woman's pregnancy is inherently risky, not to mention that she was pregnant with twins, which would only make it more difficult and difficult. Therefore, when Mrs. Xue gave birth to full term, she also gave birth prematurely due to fetal movement.
"
"Yu Wenke was the first born child and was also the eldest son of King Ling." Xia Houyi continued, "And the eldest daughter Yu Wenyi was more than half an hour younger than Yu Wen Ke. The long labor process exhausted Zhaoyun.
The eldest princess's energy also made the people serving around her anxious, which is why the news came out that the eldest princess Zhaoyun had a difficult delivery. The female officials around her also ignored the newborn Yuwen Ke because they were too worried about her safety.
It gives an opportunity to those who are willing to take advantage of it.”
In other words, while Princess Zhaoyun was fighting to save Yu Wenyi, they secretly replaced Yu Wenke, who was born first, while everyone was focused on Princess Zhaoyun's safety.
Xia Houshu probably understood, and asked: "So Yu Wenke was replaced by Mrs. Xue?"
However, Xia Houyi still shook his head and said: "No, Prince Ling changed it himself."
Xia Houshu suddenly felt that her brain was not full, or that the big drama of Yuwen clan in Lingdu was too novel, and she could not guess the idea at all.
Xia Houyi also sighed and stated truthfully: "Everyone said that Princess Zhaoyun and Mrs. Xue were pregnant at almost the same time. The dispute between the legitimate concubines and their eldest children had already begun. There were many rumors in the court, and people were panicked. And the mausoleum
Du Yuwen's family would only become more uneasy and frightened. So on the day they gave birth, both the King and the Tomb wanted to take care of it, but in the end neither party did."
"In fact, Prince Ling herself is worried that Princess Zhaoyun will give birth to her eldest son, and Mrs. Xue will give birth to a concubine. Then, as Princess Zhaoyun, and the servants who followed her out of the palace, she will settle accounts with him.
, he must not be able to protect Mrs. Xue and her daughter, so he thought of changing the relationship after seeing Princess Zhaoyun giving birth to her eldest son.”
Once Mrs. Xue gives birth to Prince Ling’s eldest son, Mrs. Xue’s position in the Yuwen family will be stable. Even if Princess Ling is a royal princess, she can’t do anything to Mrs. Xue.”
Xia Houshu was very angry when he heard this and asked in confusion: "When Princess Zhaoyun was married, I heard that she brought hundreds of servants with her. How could such a large number of people not even be able to look down on a newborn child?"
Xia Houyi said: "How do you know they didn't pay attention?"
This question was very meaningful and made Xia Houshu completely lose interest in guessing the answer to the riddle. She spread her hands and said, "Second brother, just tell me what you know. I don't want to make assumptions anymore."
Xia Houyi was amused by her appearance of breaking a jar, and tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips before saying: "Princess Zhaoyun had already sent spies to inquire about Mrs. Xue, and she also knew that Mrs. Xue had given birth to a child.
She was a baby girl, so she didn’t have much obsession with giving birth to a boy or girl. After all, they were all her own children. But she was still sincerely happy when she learned that she had given birth to a baby boy first. She only hoped that she could
She gave birth to another child smoothly, and the mother and child were safe. It was during the process when she relaxed her vigilance that King Ling came up with the idea of switching the child away. Princess Zhaoyun didn't know whether it was because she was weak after giving birth, lacked energy, or something else.
The reason is that we didn’t stop it immediately.”
This is so abnormal! Xia Houshu sighed secretly.
How could a mother be willing to give up her hard work for several months to give birth to a child and give it to someone else? And the other person is her love rival who hates her with all her teeth. It’s simply outrageous!
"Later I learned that it was Princess Zhaoyun who ordered the people around her to pretend not to know, and cooperated with Prince Ling to complete the s Only Prince Ling probably thought he had done the whole thing perfectly." Xia Houyi continued, "Children
After the package was switched, the Wen woman and the doctor who delivered Mrs. Xue's baby, and even the maid who served her were all silenced, and no one knew that Mrs. Xue actually gave birth to a baby girl."
"But Prince Ling dealt with so many people at once, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?" Xia Houshu immediately caught the flaw.
"Of course not." Xia Houyi shook his head and replied, "Yuwen Ke was originally a twin, but unfortunately he was born prematurely. He was not as healthy as a full-term child, and had some congenital deficiencies. King Ling used this as an excuse to blame the servants.
Mrs. Xue's servants were not diligent and said that Mrs. Wen and the doctor who delivered the baby were mischievous, causing Mrs. Xue to faint during the delivery process and almost killing one and two others, so they were dealt with justifiably."
Xia Houshu was frightened when he heard this: "Prince Ling used really vicious methods in order to clean himself up!"
"For Prince Ling, this is nothing." Xia Houyi disagreed.
The Prince of Ling was indeed a ruthless character. Xia Houshu suddenly didn't know what to say, so he had to continue asking: "Since the Prince of Ling gave away the two children, where did the baby girl born to Mrs. Xue go? Why has no one ever said anything?
Did Princess Zhaoyun give birth to twins?"
This is really the point of the whole thing and a turning point.
Xia Houyi carefully recalled the information he had found out, and slowly explained: "At first, Prince Ling didn't know about Princess Zhaoyun's pregnancy with twins, so he took the risk and dumped the two children. But later
He also heard that Princess Zhaoyun had another child in her belly, and he panicked. He was worried that the two children who were born prematurely were too different together to arouse suspicion, so he asked someone to remove the baby girl born to Mrs. Xue.
He took the child away in an attempt to create the illusion that the child was missing. In this way, no one would suspect that the real eldest son was moved to Mrs.
The person who was running the errand was worried that the baby's cries would disturb others, so he wrapped the baby girl in a quilt and put it in a wooden box and sent it out. As a result, the person took him out, but when he arrived at the location, he opened the box and saw that the baby was already there.
I was suffocated. The person who was running the errand was afraid of being blamed by the King Ling, and he didn't care that his parents and brothers were still in the hands of the King Ling, so he ran away overnight."
Xia Houshu silently prayed in his heart for the child who died innocently and tragically, and secretly cursed Prince Ling for being so lost his mind that he was worse than a beast, and both humans and gods were angry!
She pursed her lips and said: "I think Prince Ling is really treacherous and stupid. Princess Zhaoyun has hundreds of followers around her. Is there anyone who doesn't know whether the child she gave birth to is a boy or a girl? Why should he bother with this?
Replace it with the baby girl born by Mrs. Xue?"
Regarding this issue, Xia Houyi did not get any witness testimony, and he could not find any evidence in the past many years. He thought about it for a while and could only guess: "I think King Ling just wanted to gain a stable reputation for Mrs. Xue.
Come on, after all, he didn’t know in advance that Mrs. Xue would give birth to a baby girl. It’s not impossible for something to go wrong in the chaos.”
Xia Houshu couldn't find any other evidence to prove or refute his guess, so she could only acquiesce. Then she thought about it and said: "Everyone around Princess Zhaoyun knows that she gave birth to a baby boy first.
, then she gave birth to a baby girl, and then the baby boy suddenly disappeared, won’t she pursue it?”
"This is probably Princess Zhaoyun's unspeakable secret." Xia Houyi sighed, "After all, before that, there was no news that she was pregnant with twins, and the people who knew that she was pregnant with twins were all close to her.
If someone close to her tells her, others may think that she is using her status to frame Mrs.
"But she is a royal princess!" Xia Houshu still couldn't believe that this was the choice Princess Zhaoyun would make. How could a majestic royal princess, with so many servants around her, endure so much, not even fight for it, and let her go so easily?
Do you want people who have killed themselves and their children to do whatever they want?
When the incident happened, Emperor Qi Jing, who was sitting on the throne, was her half-brother! She could have asked Emperor Qi Jing for help, or she could have used her status as a royal princess to suppress him, so what? She was bullied like this.
, still can’t fight back?
If it were her, even if it was a life-and-death situation, she would still seek justice for herself!
