Chapter 182 But I Never Expected

Night, Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao had helplessness in her eyes, and asked again: "Xianglan, why? Why did you help the sixth prince?"

At this moment, Mother Zhao looked embarrassed, and hesitated to speak: "This..."

For a moment, Mrs. Xiao finally couldn't bear it, she reached out her hand to help Nanny Zhao, and said, "Xianglan, come, sit down and talk."

Zhao Momo shook her head: "No, this old slave is ashamed of the old lady, and even more ashamed of the eldest lady. Just let the old slave kneel and say it."

Mrs. Xiao frowned, and said, "Xiang Lan, we are not too young. You can't stand it like this!"

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi also had helplessness in his eyes. He stepped forward, supported Zhao Nanny, and said, "Zhao Nanny, grandma can't bear to see you like this. If there is anything to do, let's talk slowly."

At this moment, Nanny Zhao just nodded and said, "Thank you Miss."

Mrs. Xiao also sighed, and said, "Come on, Xianglan, sit down and talk."

After a while, Xiao Jinxi asked: "Mother Zhao, how did you find this long-lost son?"

At this moment, Mother Zhao, who had just calmed down, said slowly: "At that time, every year I would go to that hillside to stay for three days, thinking that I could accompany Xiao'er, and it was like this year after year. on."

"But in the fourth year of Zongyuan, on that day, when I was about to leave, I saw a person coming up from the hillside far away. At that time, I didn't think too much about it, because there are always people going to the hillside."

"But when I was about to go down the mountain, I saw that man took out a jade pendant from his body and looked down. I was shocked at that time! Because it was Xiao'er's jade pendant, which was specially carved by the old lady for the two children. Jade plaque."

"At that time, I hurried forward and asked him, whose jade token is this?"

"He told me that he took it with him when he was a child, and he was separated from his family later, but he can't remember many things. He just vaguely remembers this hillside, and remembers having a good time with his brother here."

At this moment, Mother Zhao's face was full of joy of finding something lost, and she said: "At that time, I really couldn't believe that my Xiao'er came back!"

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi also had surprise in his eyes... Remember Xiao Shanpo!Remember brother!There is a jade card!In other words, this person is really Zhao Mama's son!
Xiao Jinxi asked again: "Mother Zhao, does he remember his name?"

Zhao Nanny nodded and said, "Well, when I was young, whenever Master Hou had something interesting or delicious, he would call, Yun Xiao, come over to brother."

"So, he only remembers that his name is Yunxiao, and he remembers that his brother called him, Yunxiao came here to play."

sky!Xiao Yun!At this moment Xiao Jinxi instantly understood, yes, Yunxiao's alias is Xiao Yun!

At this moment, the old Mrs. Xiao asked suspiciously: "Xiang Lan, since it is confirmed that it is the child, why didn't you bring it back?"

At this moment, Mother Zhao sighed deeply, and said: "Because Xiao'er said that he has a special status now, and he cannot be exposed at will, otherwise his life will be at stake. But Xiao'er also refused to say what he did. I didn't dare to take risks, so after I came back, I didn't dare to tell the old lady about it."

Special status!Life is at stake!Xiao Jinxi frowned instantly, and asked again: "Mother Zhao, what happened next?"

At this moment, Mammy Zhao had contentment in her eyes, and continued: "Later, every year, Xiao'er would ask me to go back to my hometown to live with me for a few days. At that time, I was really happy. Seeing the child alive and well, I am so happy!"

Suddenly, Mother Zhao's complexion darkened, she sighed, and said again: "But in the ninth year of Zongyuan, one day, Xiao'er sent a letter saying that he wanted to meet me at night."

"At that time, I wondered that Xiao'er always went back to his hometown to meet me every year, and never met me in the Hou's Mansion. Why did he suddenly come to the Hou's Mansion to look for me. That night, I quietly went to the back alley to meet him."

At this moment, Mother Zhao smiled wryly, and continued: "It was also that night that I realized why Xiao'er said there would be a life-threatening death."

Zhao Nanny sighed deeply again, and said: "That night, Xiao'er told me that when he was in danger, he had to be rescued by Concubine Mei to escape. Later, he could only stay in the Prince's Mansion with the help of Concubine Mei, and then entered palace."

"Now that Concubine Mei is dead, there is only that child left in the palace. It is very pitiful. I hope that the son will bring him into the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, so that he can be protected by the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion in the future."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi asked again: "Mother Zhao, Yun Xiao is Xiao Yun, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army of Emperor Zong Yuan, right?"

With helplessness in Zhao Mama's eyes, she said, "That's right, I only found out that night that he was actually the commander of the Royal Forest Army."

"He begged me to help the sixth prince, but I didn't agree at the time. I told him that the two founding marquises never had a close relationship with the prince. The Marquis of Wu'an had the military power in his hands. Emperor Zongyuan had long feared him. Do not have personal relations with the prince."

"I also told him that since he is in the palace, he can always find a chance to protect the child, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of his mother and concubine."

At this moment, Mammy Zhao looked at Mrs. Xiao worriedly with panic in her eyes!
Mrs. Xiao frowned instantly: "Xianglan, I can bear it, you continue to talk."

For a moment, Mother Zhao suppressed her panic and said: "Xiao'er saw that I asked repeatedly, but I refused. In the end he actually told me, he told me that the sixth prince is actually his and Concubine Mei's child!"

At this moment, the two people on the side were stunned for an instant!There is silence in the warm cabinet...

Xiao Jinxi's hands under the sleeves on the side were clenched tightly, and she finally understood... It turns out that this is Murong Xuan, the truth you have been hiding!

From the last life to this life, you are so anxious to get rid of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, because you want to get back the military power in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion's hands. Only when you have the military power in your hands, one day when something happens, you will not be controlled by others!

For a moment, Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "How dare they confuse the royal heirs!"

At this moment, there was pain in Zhao Nanny's eyes: "Yes, confusing the royal heirs! Such a serious crime, what should I do?"

"After I found out about this that night, I didn't know what to do? But knowing that the child is Xiao'er's flesh and blood, I couldn't bear to let him stay in the palace alone."

"Later, I thought, maybe wait a few more years, when the Sixth Prince and Marquis of Wu'an are familiar with each other, and then find a way to let the Sixth Prince feign death and escape. At that time, he was an unfavored Even if your prince dies suddenly, there won't be too many people paying attention."

"In the end, I told Xiao'er, and he agreed, so I agreed to help him and bring the sixth prince into the Marquis of Wu'an."

At this moment, Mother Zhao smiled wryly and said, "But I never expected that in the 14th year of Zongyuan, the Sixth Prince would actually start participating in the seizure of the heir apparent!"
