"Mei Fei is my father's most beloved woman?!" Ye Fan said with some confusion, "I heard my father talk about this Mei Fei, but I only heard from my father that this Mei Fei was very pitiful.
I haven't heard him say anything else. It's always affectionate when you see your parents. Have you misunderstood?"
"Concubine Mei was originally the niece of Li Qiang. She was a gentle, kind-hearted woman who was good at singing and dancing. When she went to the palace to visit her aunt, she encountered Li Qiang who was drunk and had her body taken away, so she had to enter the palace.
She became Concubine Mei. Li Qiang only had three princes in total. The eldest son was born to the Empress of the East Palace. The prince born to the Empress of the Main Palace died young. Then there is the current emperor, who is the son of Concubine Mei. According to historical records, this son
He was born to the empress of the main palace." Sima Xichen turned around and looked at Ye Fan in the distance, and said quietly, "This is a secret. At that time, the relationship between the east palace and the main palace was on bad terms. It happened that the son born to the east palace was smart and studious, and was very popular.
Li Qiang's love jeopardized the identity of the empress of the palace, so she thought of her niece and arranged for her to enter the palace. It happened that Li Qiang was drunk that day. The person who accompanied Li Qiang at that time was your father. At that time, he did
One thing, taking advantage of Gao Feng's jealousy, he replaced Concubine Mei with Gao Feng, so that Concubine Mei could avoid the emperor's humiliation at that time. This is probably the reason why your father and Gao Feng restricted each other."
"Did my father already follow the emperor, that is, Li Qiang?" Ye Fan asked doubtfully, "Did Li Qiang already become the emperor at that time?"
"Yes, he established his own dynasty and became emperor at that time. I was not yet born at that time. My parents no longer had contact with him." Sima Xichen said lightly, "Your father was not yet married at that time, and he was with Concubine Mei.
It was only the first time they met, maybe fate was destined. At that time, he suddenly fell in love with the sad and helpless woman in front of him, and suddenly acted like a hero to save the beauty. Although Mei Fei had to enter the palace, she refused
Your father was also surprised that he allowed Li Qiang to get close to her and pretended to be unwell to avoid Li Qiang's invitation. He noticed Concubine Mei's reluctance and developed a mutual affection for her until Concubine Mei became pregnant."
"This is even more strange. If my father really liked this woman, the Mei Fei you mentioned, why didn't he take her away? With his temperament, why did he need to wrong himself like this?" Ye Fan frowned slightly and asked quietly.
, "And watching the woman you like become pregnant with another man's flesh and blood?! This should not be my father's style!"
"You guessed it right. It's not that your father doesn't want to leave, but that Concubine Mei can't leave. Her aunt threatened her whole family's lives and forced her to seduce Li Qiang and get pregnant with a dragon fetus as soon as possible to ensure that she can continue
To maintain his status." Sima Xichen said softly, "However, Li Qiang was drunk and thought he had taken advantage of it before letting Concubine Mei into the palace. He did not take her into consideration and never asked Mei Fei to sleep with her.
Concubine Mei really had no choice. When she told your father about the matter, the two of them drank and did something unconventional. Then, Concubine Mei became pregnant, and everyone thought it was Li Qiang who made her pregnant after being drunk that night.
Gao Feng didn't know that Li Qiang had not slept with Concubine Mei afterwards, and that it was her, not Concubine Mei, that Li Qiang raped that night. She was afraid that others would find out, so she did not investigate carefully. The matter was thus revealed.
It was vague."
"How did you know?" Ye Fan asked puzzledly, "You said you were not born yet, how did you know all this?"
"The person who likes Li Qiang is not only Gao Feng, but also Mo Luyi. Remember your father once said that a palace maid offended Gao Feng and was tortured to death by Gao Feng? That palace maid was actually one of Mo Luyi's men.
My slave, she risked her life to tell your father about Concubine Mei's pregnancy, and said that the child was your father's, not the emperor's, and asked your father to find a way to protect Concubine Mei. When she came back, she met Gao Feng.
Encountered misfortune." Sima Xichen said softly, "Gao Feng was originally suspicious and vicious. She accidentally discovered that this slave had martial arts skills and seemed to be from the same sect as her, so she tried every means to torture the maid until Mei
The concubine found out and secretly killed the maid. Later, the empress of the palace knew that her niece was pregnant. After the child was born, she immediately sent someone to kill Concubine Mei secretly and proposed to the emperor that the child be adopted and raised by her.
, so that he can compete with the Empress of the East Palace. Your father became an official next to Li Qiang in order to protect the future emperor and Concubine Mei."
"Protect Concubine Mei? Didn't you say that Concubine Mei has been killed by the empress of the palace? Then why does my father need to protect her?" Ye Fan became more and more confused as he listened, staring at Sima Xichen and asked.
"You forgot that there was another Mo Luyi. Mo Luyi happened to be with Li Qiang at that time, and Concubine Mei was also very lucky. When she drank the poisonous wine sent by the palace empress, her aunt, Mo Luyi happened to be with Li Qiang.
Li Qiang had an argument and passed Mei Fei's place when he left angrily. She originally wanted to see her slave, but at that time she didn't know that her slave had died at the hands of Gao Feng and found the poisoned Mei Fei. Mo Luyi had no body parts on her body.
With the antidote, I had to take Concubine Mei away in a hurry to get the antidote. Because of this woman, your father exposed the traces of my parents, and Mo Luyi also planted a lifelong regret," Sima Xichen sighed.
He said in a tone, "Maybe everything is just a coincidence, and some things may really be destined."
"I don't understand." Ye Fan said confused, "The more I listen, the more confused I become."
"At that time, Mo Luyi took Concubine Mei away and went to live with my parents. That was the only place she could go because she had a very good relationship with my mother at that time. After rescuing Concubine Mei, she left Concubine Mei with me.
My parents are recuperating, and your father is my mother’s bodyguard. He often comes to visit my parents——"
Ye Fan suddenly interrupted Sima Xichen and said, "You mean, Concubine Mei is still alive and staying with your mother, and then my father met Concubine Mei again when he went to visit your parents?"
Sima Xichen nodded and looked at Ye Fan quietly without saying a word.
Ye Fan stared at Sima Xichen, and a strange thought came to his mind. If Concubine Mei was alive and was his father's most beloved woman, how could he marry another woman? And marry three at once? Impossible.
Yeah! Unless——
"You mean that the current emperor is actually the son of my father and Concubine Mei!"
"Yes, this is one of the reasons why my parents wanted to give up later." Sima Xichen said lightly, "They felt that this emperor had nothing to do with the grievances between the Sima family and the Li family, so they were ready to give up, but
, and then there was the Battle of Furukawa!"
Ye Fan's brain was as big as two. He thought and thought, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
