Chapter 1164

Xia Yuanqiu asked, "do you find something wrong in this street?"

Zhu Yan said: "it's really wrong. I can see many familiar faces."

Xia Yuanqiu asked: "Oh? Who is it? "

"It's my elder brother's men. It seems they can't help it." Zhu Yan said in a light voice.

Xia Yuanqiu has never heard Zhu Yan mention his other brothers, and seems to have few contacts on weekdays.

"What does your big brother want to do?" Xia Yuanqiu asked.

Jiang Xin said hastily, "is that true? It must be his elder brother's intention to seize his crown prince's position and do something sinister. "

Zhu Yan shook his head: "no, my elder brother is not a man who is greedy for fame, wealth and power. He likes to be quiet and free. He lives in seclusion all the year round and does not participate in the struggle in the court. He will never fight for the throne unless --"

"unless what?" Xia Yuanqiu asked, and saw Zhu Yan's eyes with a touch of worry.

"Unless he's coerced into doing what he doesn't want to do."

Jiang Xin said: "he is a prince. Who dares to intimidate him? Unless this person doesn't want to live, or the power is already great. "

Zhu Yan looked at Xia Yuanqiu and said, "Yuanqiu, do you remember the one who lived in Yaohua palace?"

Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "remember, former queen Zhou."

"That's right, it's the Zhou family. She was fierce and paranoid. Since she got married, her father was very indifferent to her. In addition, when she was young, she fell into the ice pool and hurt herself, so she couldn't get pregnant. At that time, her father was just a prince. In order to consolidate her position in the palace, she took advantage of a banquet to get drunk and stuffed her father and her maid into the room At that time, the servant girl was pregnant with a child. Originally, according to the patriarchal system, the child could not be kept. The Zhou family was the mother of the family, and the mother did not give birth. The demons beside her could never have been born. "

"But despite the dissuasion, Zhou let the servant girl give birth to a child. She was a boy. At that time, not to mention how happy she was, she immediately asked people to take the child to her yard. After a while, the servant girl who just gave birth to the child suddenly died of illness."

Jiang Xin broke in and said angrily, "I'm afraid it's not the case of death. It's the Zhou family."

Xia Yuanqiu glared at Jiang Xin and said, "don't always interrupt, let Zhu Yan finish his words."

Jiang Xinchao vomits his tongue in Xia Yuanqiu. He doesn't interrupt any more. He listens to Zhu Yan's story carefully.

"This child is her father's first child. Zhou thought that when he had a child, he would often go to her courtyard, which was true at the beginning. He was a father at the beginning and loved his elder brother very much. He would sit in Zhou's courtyard and tease the children from time to time. Unfortunately, the good time was not long. Before the child was one year old, the former Emperor decided to take two concubines for him The two side imperial concubines were pregnant soon, and gave birth to sons one after another. Because the side imperial concubines' status is not low, the children born naturally are also very noble. If you want to compare, the children in her courtyard seem to have a lower status. After all, they are the children born by servant girls. Although they are raised by their own mother, the blood can't be changed. "

"Later, when her father was sent to a neighboring country as a hostage, she gradually began to be indifferent or even disgusted with her eldest brother. When her father returned to the court, her eldest brother became very withdrawn, didn't like to talk to others, and was timid. Therefore, her father didn't like her eldest son any more, and Zhou's attitude towards him was even worse than before."
