Chapter 346
"Xuanying, I have already heard Helian talk about what happened before. I want to hear from you what is the relationship between Zhao Aiqing and me." Not looking up into his eyes.

Although he knew that he had to tell the truth in the end, he still hesitated before that.The emperor did not urge, but waited patiently for him to speak.

"Caomin wants to ask the emperor, does the emperor still remember the concubine Rong?"

Xiao Xuanyi only thought about it for a while, and knew who he was talking about: "Of course I remember."

Concubine Rong's full name is Zhao Suyan.She was originally the eldest lady of the Zhao family, so she should have nothing to do with the palace in this life.But one time the emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothes, and unexpectedly ran into her in the city.There is no need to say more about the twists and turns of the story, I only know that in the end Zhao Suyan entered the palace and became one of the three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem.

In the beginning, the emperor really doted on her very much, and her rank soared all the way.Until finally the emperor named her Concubine Rong, but suddenly it was reported that Zhao Suyan had murdered the emperor's heir.The imperial concubine presented all the evidence in front of the emperor, even if the emperor trusted her again, there would inevitably be a gap in his heart.

Concubine Rong was cast into the cold palace. Although her title is still there, life is no longer as easy as before.Despite this, Concubine Rong did not defend herself, until many years later she suddenly set herself on fire and died in the cold palace.

"Maybe the emperor still remembers Concubine Rong, but I'm afraid she didn't know that Concubine Rong gave birth to a prince in the cold palace." Xuanying stated the facts calmly.

"What did you say?" The emperor suddenly stood up, staring at Xuanying closely, "Could it be... that prince you mentioned..." This answer was not only difficult for the emperor to accept, even Mu Qiu was shocked.Although she had already made sufficient mental preparations, when the truth was revealed, Mu Qiu would inevitably lose her composure.

"That's right, Shumo is that prince!" At this moment, Xuanying suddenly raised her head to look at the emperor, "Not long after Concubine Rong was thrown into the cold palace, she found out that she was pregnant. The prince was born in the cold palace. Fortunately, no one approached the cold palace on weekdays, so the news was not known to outsiders. Concubine Rong carefully raised the prince until he was six years old, but she did not expect that the emperor would eventually find out. The imperial concubine sent people to kill the prince and concubine Rong to avoid future troubles. It was the concubine Rong who risked her life to spread the news out of the palace. After the Zhao family received the news, they let the grass-roots sneak into the palace and take away the prince. In order to cover up this matter, Concubine Rong had no choice but to set fire to the Leng Palace, and she herself died in the fire."

After Xuanying finished telling the story of cause and effect, the emperor remained silent for a long time.After a while, he asked again: "Then why did you agree to this?"

"The Patriarch of the Zhao Family once gave the Caomin a life-saving grace, so all that the Caomin did was just to repay the favor. The Zhao Patriarch said at the beginning that he hoped that the Caomin would take His Royal Highness far away, and never set foot on it again in his life. Beiliang City."

The emperor understood it, no wonder he hadn't found out the truth about Concubine Rong's death after so many years.At this moment, Mu Qiu finally couldn't help but said: "The first time I saw you two, you were covered in wounds and lay dying in that dilapidated room. Could it be that you escaped from the palace at that time, thousands of miles away? Came all the way to Pingyang Town?"

Xuanying glanced at her and nodded in affirmation.
