Chapter 591 The lost child
"Yinghong took the silver from the princess. She originally wanted to spend time with her cousin, but after she found out that she was no longer a perfect match, she sold her to a businessman.
When she left, she was indeed lying. In fact, she was not sure she was pregnant at that time, but after being sold to Xingshang, she found that she was really pregnant. At the beginning of three or four months, she kept it under her cover, but later she couldn't cover it up, so she told Xingshang that she was pregnant with the blood of nobles of the royal family. Xingshang was afraid of causing trouble, so she not only did not give her a baby, but also gave her 200 taels of silver and let her go.
It was also because of the 200 taels of silver from Xingshang that Yinghong attached more importance to this child. She knew that as long as she had this child in her hand, no one would dare to touch her.
Later, she gave birth to the child and was a boy, and she became more confident. Someone saw that she was young and encouraged her to sell the child, but she did not sell it. Later, she followed another man, but this man was different from that businessman and did not believe her words. After cheating her money, she sold the child into a waiter's house.
The people sent by the princess found Yinghong first. They found Yinghong in a lowest-class brothel. Yinghong was infected with a dirty disease and had not been around for a long time. She knew where the child was, but she was sold herself and could not do anything. She told the child's whereabouts when she died.
The child was nine years old when he was found and had been in the waitress for three years.
The princess took him to Shu and kept him quietly outside. The Zheng family also heard the news of his existence. The princess never cared about what the Zheng family thought. She was supreme in the Zheng family."
Madam Chai said this and sighed: "The child is pretty. The princess asked me if this child looks like a person from the Longan Prince's Mansion. I can't tell you, but I don't want to disappoint the princess. So I said that the child is a bit similar to the old prince when he was a child. The princess was very happy to hear that. She gave her true feelings to the child and loved him like a son.
Later, after entering the capital, the princess was good to Prince Long'an, but I knew that the princess' feelings for Prince Long'an were far worse than that to that child."
Shen Xiao asked, "Does Zheng Wan know about this?"
Madam Chai nodded: "The eldest girl is eight or nine years younger than that child. When the child was still in Shu, the eldest girl must have no idea. But later I heard the servants of the Zheng family say in private that the princess had raised an illegitimate child outside. I told the princess about this. The princess made a big fuss in the Zheng family. Although it was not found out where the words were spread, the Zheng family killed two people and sold more than a dozen more. The princess was relieved and the matter was brought over.
Later, a few years later, when the child was sixteen years old, he suddenly disappeared. He left a letter to the princess saying that he didn't want to live such a life again.
The princess was very sad and fell seriously ill. At that time, the eldest girl was already seven years old and became sensible. When she heard the princess crying about the child, she came to ask me who Xiaolong was. I had to say that it was her cousin. But after a few days, the eldest girl said that I lied to her and said that Xiaolong was not her cousin at all. When I asked again, the eldest girl ran away. I watched the eldest girl grow up. The eldest girl was very close to me, but since then, I could feel that the eldest girl began to guard against her everywhere.
After thinking about it, I remembered the rumors about the illegitimate son of the Zheng family. The rumors should still be there, but they were not heard by the princess. The eldest girl must have heard of this, so she thought that I had deceived her.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and Young Master Xiaolong has never appeared again. The princess has asked someone to find him, but there are no clues. After the princess returned to the capital, she kept talking about him that Prince Long'an is no longer here. It would be great if Young Master Xiaolong could come back to inherit the throne."
With the death of the Prince of Long'an, the lineage of King An Zhao Xiang was cut off from then on. In addition, the death of the Prince of Long'an was not glorious, so the elders of the clan did not dare to mention adoption. The Prince of Long'an had no descendants. From the day the gate was built, there was no Long'an Palace in this world.
"Does Gu know about Xiaolong's existence?" Chen Xiao asked.
Gu is Concubine Gu, later Mrs. Gu, the biological mother of Prince Long'an.
Madam Chai shook her head: "I don't know, the princess must have hidden it from her."
"Where is the Prince of Long'an? Does he know?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Madam Chai was stunned, stunned, and said slowly: "The prince of the county would not know, but it is impossible to say that if someone like him can hide something from him, even if he knows, he will not reveal it. The prince of the county... follows Gu Concubine Gu, and his emotions are not reflected. The old prince, even the prince, was not as good as him."
"Do you know how Princess Yongen gave Gu's things, how many times did she deliver?" Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Once, it was sent by me." Madam Chai rushed out without thinking.
"What was the gift?" Chen Xiao looked at Madam Chai's eyes, not like lying, but this was consistent with Princess Yongen's previous confession.
"The clothes I gave, alas, the princess was also angry by Mrs. Fan. She was impulsive and thought of Concubine Gu. She asked someone to make several autumn clothes overnight and ordered the servants to come in. After stuffing silver, she sent the clothes in. However, the next day, the things were returned intact. They were thrown to the gate of the mansion by a low-key imperial guard. She spoke very badly and the princess was so angry."
The Madam Chai mentioned that Mrs. Fan is the mother of the Crown Princess Zheng Yu. When Princess Yongen was still in Shu, she never gave Fan a good face. Now Fan has both a brother from her family and a daughter who has become the Crown Princess. The eldest princess is leaning on her back. She is no longer the sister-in-law who was despised by Princess Yongen back then.
"Does anyone other than you know about Princess Yongen delivering clothes to Gu?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Yes, of course, there is. That day the imperial guard who was worth the money threw the bag at the gate. The door could hear what he said clearly and learned to me. Later, although I told him not to tell others about this matter, who can guarantee this matter?"
Madam Chai sighed. The mansion was not the final decision of Princess Yongen, and everything must be followed by the girl's instructions.
"Come, bring the door here." Chen Xiao said.
After a while, Door was brought up with his waist.
