Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 460: Old Times

"Misunderstanding? Hahaha."

The King of Qin laughed again. He ignored Duke Ji and turned to look at the Emperor.

"Grandpa, if father hadn't behaved like this at the time, I would have left with him."

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

The retired emperor still didn't believe it. After all, he knew the most about Prince Yi De's affairs. He had investigated it, but there was really not the slightest suspicion at all.

The simple reason was that Prince Yide died because he was ill and there was no cure.

How could it be possible that Emperor Zhaowu intended to murder him?
"Nothing is impossible. My father told me all this."

"Grandpa shouldn't have forgotten what happened, right?"

"At that time, my second uncle was leading troops outside and successively defeated the last two rebel kings. He made great contributions to the unification of the Yu Dynasty. A large number of people in the court had already joined his camp."

As he spoke, he swept his eyes over the people present and said coldly, "More than half of the people in this hall right now are from his original camp."

"Grandpa, maybe you don't know? Father actually plans to depose the crown prince and make him the crown prince after my second uncle returns to the court."

"He thought that his contributions were not as great as his second uncle's. He also knew that more than half of the territory of the Yu Dynasty was conquered by his second uncle. He felt that he, the crown prince, was not qualified to inherit the throne and thought that this was unfair to his second uncle."

"But he never expected that he would suddenly fall ill before he could even write the letter, and then pass away on the third day after his second uncle came back."

"Everyone thought he died of a sudden illness, and my second uncle was not in the capital at the time, so no one thought of him as the cause, not even me."

"But the night before my father passed away, he told me the truth."

"He wasn't sick. He suddenly collapsed because someone had been poisoning him for a long time. He had already been examined by a doctor and it was confirmed that he was poisoned."

As he finished speaking, the retired emperor's originally resolute expression softened a little. He originally thought that the King of Qin was just unwilling to accept his fate, so he made up some lies in order to seize the throne.

But now seeing that he was so sure of what he said, and it was Prince Yide who told him, he couldn't help but think about it.

Thinking of this, he turned and looked at Queen Shen.

I hope to see something from her face, but at this moment, Queen Shen's face is nothing but shock, without the slightest trace of guilt.

It seemed that she didn't know about this either, and the emperor was confused again.

"Prince Qin, this is all your one-sided story. Now the emperor is in danger. In my opinion, you should take out the antidote first. We are a family. We can talk about everything openly. There is no need to make such a fuss."

Princess Ningyang Zhan tried to persuade him again. She did not believe too much in what the King of Qin had just said. After all, there was no evidence for this and it was obviously not convincing enough just to talk about it.

"My aunt is right. You and I are a family, but my second uncle is not."

"Come here, bring people up."

Soon, the imperial guards outside pushed two elderly people, a man and a woman, in.

"Grandpa, do you recognize him?" The King of Qin pointed at the white-haired old man. The emperor looked over as he was told. His first feeling was that the man looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while.

Similarly, everyone in the hall also focused their attention on the old man.

"This seems to be Doctor Huang."

Fang Qiao spoke with some uncertainty.

After he said this, those who had seen Imperial Doctor Huang immediately reacted.

"It is indeed Doctor Huang. Hasn't he been missing for many years? How did you find him?"

"Missing? To be more precise, he was killed. However, I saved him and have been hiding him all these years."

As he spoke, he pointed at the old woman next to him and continued to ask, "Grandpa, do you still remember her?"

The retired emperor looked over again, and this time, he did not ask anyone to remind him. After all, since he appeared with Imperial Doctor Huang, it was obvious that he was the old man who was there when those things happened many years ago.

"Your father's wet nurse."

"Yes, she is my father's wet nurse, but grandpa may not know that she is actually my second uncle's person."

"What! Impossible."

The retired emperor shook his head again. You have to know that he was the one who found this wet nurse, and when she entered the palace, Emperor Zhaowu was not even born yet. How could she be Emperor Zhaowu’s woman?
However, the King of Qin spoke again; "Indeed, no one could have thought that she would be my second uncle's woman."

"You should tell it yourself."

Upon hearing this, the old woman began to narrate what happened that year hesitantly.

She did enter the mansion first, but later on, because her unfilial son became addicted to gambling, he borrowed money and gambled again and again, and owed a lot of foreign debts. Then the people in the gambling house had powerful backgrounds and threatened to sell her grandson and granddaughter, and also cut off her son's legs.

She was a widow. During the war, almost all of her family members died, leaving only her son to depend on. Fortunately, she was recruited into the mansion to be a wet nurse, which gave the orphan and widow a way out.

At the beginning, she was very loyal to Prince Yide and took good care of him like her own son.

However, as her own son grew up and developed bad habits, she was completely helpless. In despair and when faced with a choice, the young Emperor Zhaowu appeared.

He saved their family from dire straits and arranged a good job for his son.

His family accepted this favor and reluctantly became Emperor Zhaowu's people. However, Emperor Zhaowu at that time never let them do anything, as if they were not very familiar with each other.

Until one day, Emperor Zhaowu's people found the wet nurse and assigned her to do something.

That is, to put chronic poison in Prince Yide's food. At first, she did not dare to do so, nor was she willing to do so. She also thought about reporting it, but the person who came forward was not Emperor Zhaowu himself, and Emperor Zhaowu had been very kind to her family. Not to mention whether the master's family would believe her after she reported it, just based on this kindness, she really could not do the thing of reporting it.

Besides, these are the two sons of the master family. Even if they are reported, Emperor Zhaowu will at most be punished and will definitely not lose his life. But what about their whole family?
What will we face?
She was in a dilemma at that time, until her granddaughter was taken away by a powerful and wealthy playboy. She went to ask for help from Prince Yi De, but unfortunately, the playboy's family was a supporter of Prince Yi De, and Prince Yi De did not help just for the daughter of a servant he didn't know.

This made her mentality change. She thought about how she had served and taken care of Prince Yide diligently for so many years, but he was unwilling to help with just a word. She thought about how Emperor Zhaowu had generously helped her family when they had nowhere to turn for help.

The balance in her heart began to slowly tilt, especially when she finally went to ask Emperor Zhaowu for help, and then Emperor Zhaowu immediately went to help her rescue her daughter, she became even more determined to obey Emperor Zhaowu's orders.
