Chapter 180 The Right to Know

Mo Chenfeng's reaction was just as Shangguanjing expected, his mouth was as tight as a clam shell.She didn't insist, she nodded happily and closed the door.

"Sir," as soon as the door was closed, Shangguanjing winked at Old Man Feng: "Did you see it?"

"Yeah!" Old man Feng nodded with his eyes closed: "If it doesn't matter, Mo wouldn't be so cautious. So you two should be prepared, no matter what happens, don't panic."

"He didn't call you Your Highness." Shangguan Jing poked Xiao Jingheng's finger: "What does this mean?"

"It means that my father either didn't do anything, or he failed." Xiao Jingheng replied calmly.

"The first one, you don't have to hope." Shangguan Jing smiled wryly: "You Weiwei mutinied, and Sun Shude brought people out to arrest us. These are all facts. If your father didn't do anything, these things can't be explained .”

"There's no need to be afraid." Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand to hold Shangguanjing's hand: "He just said that my aunt will explain to us personally. If we can see my aunt, at least saving our lives will not be a problem."

"That's right." Shangguan Jing nodded indifferently: "With my aunt here, we won't be beheaded together as traitors. It doesn't matter anything else. It doesn't matter if you are demoted to a commoner or given a marriage certificate. Our lives are still on the line." Everything is important. At worst, I will open a farming instance to support you."

"Planting again, you can think about it." Old man Feng leaned against the wall of the carriage, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to farm even if you want to. Don't make wild guesses, and make a decision after you return to Beijing."

Yurong Town was so close, and within two hours, their carriage had already entered Beijing.They still entered the city through the nearest south gate. When they entered the city, Shangguanjing found that the heavily guarded city gate seemed to have begun to reopen, but the people in Beijing still seemed to be in panic, and there were very few people on the street.

Naturally, the convoy escorted by the royal inner guards was not blocked, but as soon as they entered the city, several guards led horses to meet them.Mo Chenfeng took a look and found that it was the guard of the Princess's mansion.

Xiao Mingrui was afraid that Mo Chenfeng would not obey her orders, so he sent his family's guards to guard the gates in the southeast direction to intercept the convoy of the imperial guards.

Xiao Jingheng and Shangguan Jing in the carriage were both relieved when they saw that the carriage really stopped at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.

Xiao Mingrui had already returned from the palace. She was in the flower hall with her son-in-law, anxiously waiting for Xiao Jingheng's young couple to arrive. Hearing that they had arrived safely, Xiao Mingrui hurriedly greeted them.

Xiao Mingrui, who hadn't closed her eyes all day and night, looked haggard. She was dressed in a dark blue dress and didn't wear any jewelry on her head, which was quite different from her usual graceful and luxurious appearance.

Seeing Xiao Mingrui like this, both Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng were shocked, but they didn't dare to speak rashly in front of Mo Chenfeng.

Xiao Mingrui looked at the people brought by Shangguanjing, didn't ask any more questions, and asked people to arrange for Mr. Feng and Nanny Chen to rest, and then took Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng one by one, turned and walked towards the flower hall.

Mo Chenfeng couldn't help but take a look at this posture, couldn't help but took a step forward, and reminded: "Your Highness, it's getting late, you have to bring Jiu Ye into the palace quickly."

"I know it in my heart." Xiao Mingrui replied without turning his head: "It won't be a long delay."

This was said coldly and harshly, Shangguan Jing had never seen Xiao Mingrui in such a bad mood, she and Xiao Jingheng followed Xiao Mingrui to the flower hall, where they found the same haggard and bearded son-in-law.

There was no one else in the flower hall except the son-in-law. When the son-in-law saw them, he was relieved and ran to the gate himself to close the gate of the flower hall.

"Fortunately, I came back safely." He sighed and said, "Come and sit down, there are some things you need to know."

It took Xiao Mingrui and his wife nearly half an hour to explain clearly what happened in the past few days.Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng listened quietly until they figured out the ins and outs.

The facts of the past few days are too complicated. She carefully observed Xiao Jingheng's expression while telling the story, and found that the child's face was neither sad nor happy. Even when he heard the news of his father's rebellion, his expression did not fluctuate. Not even a look of surprise.

However, when they heard about how Marquis Wu Ding ambushed and wiped out King Huaiyang in advance, the two children finally showed surprise expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, but they still didn't interrupt Xiao Mingrui's narration.

But the most troublesome thing is not these, but the words that Xiao Mingrui prepared next.

"Heng'er, there is something that my aunt has been keeping from you." Xiao Mingrui closed his eyes and said bravely, "Actually you...you..."

But these words were really hard to say, Xiao Mingrui worked hard to organize his words, trying to express himself as gently as possible.

"Auntie, don't worry about it." Shangguanjing, who had been sitting on the sidelines for a long time, suddenly turned her head to the side and closed her eyes: "We guessed it."

"Jing'er, you..." Xiao Mingrui and his wife looked at Shangguan Jing in surprise.

"Yes!" Xiao Jingheng also nodded, with a wry smile that didn't fit his age: "I am the son of a treasonous sinner, logically, the emperor should order someone to send me back to the Huaiyang Palace to stay with other people." But he wanted me to enter the palace at this very moment."

"Auntie, is there anyone else in the palace who knows about this matter." Shangguan Jing asked, "Do the Empress Dowager and Empress Chen also know about it?"

After Xiao Mingrui bowed his head in silence for a while, he replied: "The queen mother knows about it. The emperor's wife... I don't know, no one should have taken the initiative to mention it to her. But..."

"But she might have guessed it a long time ago." Shangguan Jing took over the conversation: "So these years, she always feels uncomfortable seeing Jing Heng."

Xiao Mingrui was speechless.After a long time, he nodded.

"Then," Xiao Jingheng raised his head and asked one more question: "My father...I mean, does he know?"

"I know." Xiao Mingrui replied in a low voice: "Heng'er, don't pursue the past."

"What my aunt said is wrong." Shangguanjing retorted seriously: "I know you are doing it for Jing Heng's good. But you can't know what kind of life Jing Heng has lived these years. I used to be surprised. How can someone be so harsh on his own son? Now I know that it is all due to his life experience. It is not his fault, but he has borne sins for others since he was born. Abuse, I don't think anyone in the world has a right to know the truth."

"You're right." Xiao Mingrui raised his head, eyes full of guilt and pity: "Heng'er has the right to know."

 ---Here is the dividing line for insiders--
  The aunt told about the rebellion of King Huaiyang, and the two children were quite calm, and they had already guessed it.But when my aunt told how Marquis Wu Ding fought back, the two children were not calm... They really didn't guess this.

  Why didn't you guess it?Probably because they are very stupid and lack IQ, hehehehehe.

  Xiao Hengheng is the emperor's son. My aunt and grandma know about this, but whether Empress Chen knows...that's not clear.

  Guess what...
