Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"Do you know about Concubine Xian's affairs?"

Xiao Zuochen nodded.

"I know that Consort Xian was my father's original wife, but later on, in order to take the throne, he had to marry General Bai's sister. After he succeeded to the throne, he also canonized Bai Qingning as the queen."

"Then you should also know that the Xianfei's mother's family was just a minor official at the time, which also shows that your father was not favored at all. The late emperor never considered letting him succeed to the throne from beginning to end."

Xiao Zuochen was stunned for a moment and asked with a little confusion.

"But in the end, when Grandpa Emperor was dying, he personally wrote an edict ordering Father to succeed to the throne. Some ministers were present to witness it, and my eldest brother also said that he saw it with his own eyes... And at that time, several of Father's brothers died or fell ill due to internal fighting, and in the end, there was no one left to succeed to the throne."

"Ha~"

Concubine Yun suddenly laughed.

"So this is your version of the story. You better listen carefully and remember every word your mother says!"

Suddenly, a trace of ferocity appeared on Concubine Yun's bright face, as if she hated the emperor to the core.

"Your father was the son that the late emperor hated the most, so he randomly found a minor official's daughter and granted her marriage. Later, by chance, he saved Bai Qingning who fell into the water, and then he had correspondence with her. After the Bai family knew about this, they first stopped the correspondence between the two, but Bai Qingning persuaded her parents with the position of queen, and the late emperor was angry with the Bai family, so the Bai family began to side with your father. But Bai Qingning's brother. That is, Bai Qingning's brother at the time did not agree, and he did not want his sister to exchange happiness for the glory and wealth of the Bai family, but Bai Qingning was determined to become the queen, so he had to obey her."

"I don't understand one thing. If Bai Qingning wants to be the queen, she can find other princes. Why does she have to find the prince who is not favored by my father?"

"It is because she is not favored that she relies more on the Bai family and obeys them in everything. Besides, do you think their meeting in the first place was accidental? Bai Qingning had already calculated when your father would meet her."

"I heard that General Bai is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off. I've also met him once or twice and he seems to be a gentleman. Why would his sister be like this?"

"Of course, a child raised by the same parents won't be too different. Bai Qingning used to be a weak little girl. I met her once. Although she was weak at that time, she was a sunny and cheerful girl.

Later, her condition became serious. The imperial doctors in the palace and famous doctors in the martial arts world all examined her pulse and said that she was beyond help. Later, the Bai family heard from somewhere that there was a technique in Miaojiang that could revive the dead. But Miaojiang was a forbidden area at that time. The late emperor was afraid that the Miao people would use Gu to control the people of Tai'an, so he ordered the people of Tai'an not to enter Miaojiang at will. The Bai couple also begged the late emperor for a long time before he agreed, but the price was that General Bai abdicated. "

"General Bai agreed?"

"Well, after getting the emperor's permission, General Bai took his daughter to Miaojiang and came back a year later. It is said that after returning, Bai Qingning's illness was indeed cured, but his temperament changed drastically. He did things with a purpose and treated people differently. Later, Bai Qingning and your father had a private relationship. The late emperor was furious when he found out, because in the eyes of the late emperor, the Bai family had chosen to give up their official positions, but wanted to control the harem through their daughter, which also angered the Bai family and your father. Therefore, the Bai family became more determined to help your father ascend the throne, otherwise they would not be able to survive, and your father would have no foothold in the late emperor's side."

"But the Bai family had no official position at that time, so how could they help my father?"

"This is Bai Qingning's secret. I don't know what opportunity she had in Miaojiang to learn how to use Gu. I guess she used the Gu to control the late emperor and wrote the edict of succession."

"But the Bai family has no army to support Father, so how can Father trust them? Unless... unless Father knows that Bai Qingning can use Gu!"

Concubine Yun did not comment.

"This is also the reason why the emperor did not break off relations with her."

"But wouldn't he be scared if he had someone like this around?"

"Afraid? Of course he is afraid. That's why after your father ascended the throne, he immediately recovered Miaojiang and made it a vassal territory. He promised to open trade between the two places so that Miaojiang would also prosper. He must have also asked Miaojiang for a way to prevent it from being controlled by the poisonous insect. But he still needs the queen to continue to help him realize his ambitions, so he will continue to indulge the queen in some of her actions."

"Then my mother..."

Xiao Zuochen asked tentatively. He seemed to know why his mother hated his father so much. It might be because...

"That's right! If the Queen hadn't used Gu to control me, I wouldn't have been trapped in this palace!"

Once upon a time, Concubine Yun had been living in Wangyan City. One day, she went to deliver some food to the orphans in the temple. She happened to be seen by the emperor who had just ascended the throne. Since then, the emperor has lost his appetite. But Concubine Yun looked down on the emperor and always refused all the gifts sent by the emperor. Gradually, the emperor found that soft tactics did not work at all, and Concubine Yun was good at martial arts, so he could not get close to her at all, so he simply asked the queen to use Gu.

At that time, the queen had already given birth to the third prince, and she had no feelings for the emperor at all. In addition, the virtuous concubine was imprisoned in the cold palace, and the new emperor could not immediately select a concubine. In addition to the palace maids, only the queen could help the emperor relieve his loneliness. So at this time, another woman suddenly appeared to distract the emperor's attention. The queen was so happy that she agreed to the emperor's request. But Bai Qingning was not from Miaojiang, so she could only maintain this witchcraft for one year. The emperor took the opportunity to let Concubine Yun give birth to Xiao Zuochen, hoping to tie Concubine Yun's heart with the child. But unexpectedly, after the witchcraft was lifted, Concubine Yun was so cold-blooded that she didn't even see the child.

After Xiao Zuochen found out, he clenched his fists. He never expected that his father would be so despicable and use such dirty means to get his mother. No wonder his mother didn't want to see him at all.

"In fact, there is no mother in the world who really doesn't like her own child."

Concubine Yun's words made Xiao Zuochen look at her with a hint of confusion.

"There are many things you don't know yet, just like you know very little about my mother's life experience. When the witchcraft was lifted, I found that I had lost part of my memory, and I still don't know what that part is. But from what I remember now, giving birth to you was not a good thing, not to mention with a disgusting man."

"What will happen if you give birth to me?"

Xiao Zuochen frowned, wanting to hear his mother's answer.

Concubine Yun smiled and shook her head.

"That's what I thought at the beginning. Now that I see you, I suddenly feel that I got such a good-looking son for free. It seems like I got a bargain."

After hearing this, Xiao Zuochen's eyes were a little moist, but he suddenly laughed.

"Mother concubine~"

Xiao Zuochen suddenly stood up and threw himself into Concubine Yun's arms, and Concubine Yun also hugged his head.

"Good son~"
