commoner pretty detective

Chapter 258 Why did you give up the throne back then
Wu Yan asked in surprise: "What's the reason? I've never seen her before."

"That happened more than 20 years ago. Once, my father visited in private and fell in love with a commoner woman. That woman already had a fiancé, but my father couldn't control his feelings, so he forced her into the palace. The woman refused to die. My mother knew about this, so she planned to spend the night with my father on her behalf. At that time, my mother had only one child, the emperor's brother, and the father had not slept with her for a long time. Maybe she wanted to have another child. , secure your position."

"What happened later?" It turned out that the Queen Mother was also a poor woman, and if she wanted to sleep with her husband, she had to pretend to be another woman.

"Later, the queen conceived a child as she wished, and this matter was exposed, and the father was furious. The woman still refused to commit herself to the father, and even wanted to assassinate him. Even though the father was seriously injured, he was still obsessed and refused to let go , Later, the woman died in depression. For her sake, the emperor abolished the court for a month, and since then he has rarely set foot in the harem, and it is even more difficult for the empress to see him again."

"Could it be that the child is you?"

"Yes." Gong Ziling said sadly, "As soon as I landed, I was carried to my father. My father probably regarded me as the woman's substitute. He named me the prince and sent me Someone specially assigned me to raise me in the East Palace. However, the queen mother was not allowed to enter the East Palace. Therefore, the relationship between our mother and son is very weak, and we can only see each other from a distance at the family banquet on New Year's Eve every year. Every time I see her and the emperor's brother With a seamless appearance, I feel envious in my heart."

Gong Ziling's vision was a little fuzzy. Through the branches and leaves swaying in the night wind, he seemed to see the scene many, many years ago again.

Before the gorgeous banquet, a little boy in his early ten years old coquettishly said to the dignified and noble palace lady beside him: "My queen, I want to eat pheasant and bird's nest soup."

"Okay, the queen mother will serve it to the emperor's son." The beautiful woman smiled dotingly and poured a spoonful of soup, put it near her mouth to cool it down, and fed it into the boy's mouth.The mother and son looked at each other and smiled happily.

On the opposite side, the five-year-old Gongzi Ling stared greedily, and then turned to the emperor sitting high above: "Father, my son wants to eat pheasant and bird's nest soup."

"Hehe, why did you ask Father for this?" The emperor smiled and glanced at Gong Ziling, and asked the nurse standing behind him, "Didn't you hear what His Highness said?"

Mammy hurriedly filled a small bowl of soup, and presented it to Gong Ziling respectfully.Gong Ziling was still looking at the opposite side, and he didn't even touch the bowl of soup.

"No wonder you gave up the throne later." Wu Yan seemed to understand Gong Ziling's feelings.

"I don't want to live in the shadow of others, and I don't want my mother to be the laughing stock of others for the rest of my life. In her heart, of course, she hopes that the emperor's brother will be on the throne. The emperor's brother has always been good to me, and the emperor did not forbid him to be with me. I met. Moreover, the battle ten years ago made Biwu, which was originally peaceful and stable, become fragmented and full of barbarians. I want to restore its prosperity and stability with my own hands, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.”

"You have already done it." Now Biwu was filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

"But there is still a traitor like Liu Fang. Moreover, the forces behind him have not yet been found out. Too many things have happened during this time."

"Yes." Wu Yan sighed, this case has always been a big stone in her heart.
