Mrs. Xu's words shocked Qi Yu once again!

How could this be … Cheng Wan's lover was actually the current emperor — Chu Zhe? Crown’s Master's concubine views the emperor as her lover. What kind of relationship is this!?

Mrs. Xu laughed mournfully: "How is it, did you not think of it?"

Yes, I didn't. Even the real Xu Rouzhi did not think that her mother would have some sort of conflict with the current emperor, right?

The Mrs. Xu said: "It was only in these few days that I found out, that Cheng Wan was actually a servant of the crown prince, Chu Zhe. That year, your father was a good friend of the crown prince. He gave Chu Zhe advice and successfully helped him get rid of his opponent to become the emperor. Chu Zhe's regime is unsteady, he does not dare to let your father go, but does not dare to let him take control of the situation, so he gave him the title of Crown’s Master, allowing him to teach the crown prince. If you have any indecisive ideas, Chu Zhe would still want to ask your father for guidance. Thus, the relationship between the two of them had continued to this day.

"I suspect that there is another reason your father stayed is because of Cheng Wan. After Chu Zhe ascended the throne, Cheng Wan no longer had the chance to stay by Chu Zhe's side. She became dispirited and was prepared to hang herself, but in the end, your father just so happened to save her and brought her back to the Xu Mansion to heal his injuries. Your father originally loved Cheng Wan, and so he took good care of her. Cheng Wan was moved by him and agreed to marry him as a concubine.

"Even though it's only my name, your father treats Cheng Wan better than anyone else! None of the servants in the palace dare to look down on Cheng Wan. It was a pity that people were so cheap. Others treated her well, but she didn't care about them. She just had to care about someone who didn't care about her! Cheng Wan is like that, and your father is the same! "

Mrs. Xu was excited as her face turned red. Realizing that the person she was scolding was Qi Yu's mother, she looked towards Qi Yu. Qi Yu shrugged indifferently: "Most people are indeed this lowly. I failed to live up to the affection of others. "

Mrs. Xu probably thought about Yu Guan, sighed, then relaxed his tone: "Cheng Wan cannot forget about Chu Zhe, when you were six years old, you suddenly left your Xu Family, and disappeared without a trace. Now that he thought about it, she must have managed to find a way to enter the Imperial Palace at that time, and once again returned to Chu Zhe's side. I don't know what method she has, but when she saw Chu Zhe again, she was waiting by Chu Zhe's side day and night.

"She has been waiting by Chu Zhe's side all day and night?" Qi Yu was shocked, "Without a name, how can it have such a important part?"

The Mrs. Xu let out a long sigh and said, "That is to say, a few days ago, your father obtained a namelist from the palace. After flipping through it, although he could not find Cheng Wan's name, he still saw Cheng Wan's name: Qingyi."

Qingyi?

That was Cheng Wan's nickname?

"Back then, I heard your father mention Qingyi's name several times after drinking before. Only when I asked him about it did I know that it was Cheng Wan's name. So back then, Chu Zhe and your father had both called her Qingyi, but after your father took her in as his concubine, in order to prevent her from recalling the past, he changed his name to Wan'er. If you remember correctly, your father called her Wan-Er, right? "

"Yes."

"Looking at the name 'Qingyi', I am slightly surprised. Although it was stated that his gender was that of a man and his position was that of a personal attendant before the imperial palace, serving the Emperor in his full-time quarters, I still made use of the opportunity of going to the palace to visit the empress. However, this Qingyi was rather mysterious, and not many people in the palace could see him often, other than Chu Zhe's chamber, he practically did not appear anywhere else. So I didn't see her either. "

"Then how are you so sure that Qingyi is Cheng Wan?"

"Later on, I sent people to check the palace as well. The lightness skills that I invited was very good, they snuck into the palace and brought back a portrait of Qing Yi to me. Right now, I do not have it with me, if I had it with me, you would definitely be able to recognize it once you see it." The Mrs. Xu saw that Qi Yu did not believe him and said: "You can find a chance to enter the palace. If I let him take you there, I'll know that what I said was false. "

Qi Yu frowned silently as she looked at Mrs. Xu. Seeing Mrs. Xu's expression, it seemed like she was not lying. Moreover, what need did the Mrs. Xu have to lie to her?

Could it be that Cheng Wan was really in the palace?

Qi Yu thought back to the day when Chu Zhe looked at her in the Prince Qi Palace. Could it be that Cheng Wan was really by her side? So, Chu Zhe knew very well that she was Cheng Wan's daughter, and that was why he treated her with such warmth and gentleness?

— — The Great Dongluo's Emperor Chu Zhe is famous for his resolute and decisive style!

"Think about it," Mrs. Xu reminded Qi Yu, "If Cheng Wan didn't play a role by Chu Zhe's side, how could Chu Zhe have appointed you as Princess Qi, and not your two sisters? With your identity as a concubine, even if you marry into the Prince Qi Palace, you can only do it for your concubine's life! "

That's right!

Qi Yu frowned even more. When she first heard Chu Yixuan mention the reason for the marriage, she was also wondering what was going on. The officials said that it was because the emperor had a dream of opening a large field of flowers.

"Caiwei Caiwei is gentle. Return to the sun, and your heart is at your wit's end. " This was a poem from the《 Poetry》. When mentioning this, Chu Yixuan also said that he, Royal Father, was a martial emperor who established his own territory and revered virtue, and had always been unrestrained and ruthless. Princess Huo Wu felt that it was impossible for him to be familiar with the《 Poetic Scripture》 type of scripture. So, she had even asked at that time, did Chu Yixuan want to know who was secretly helping the crown prince put the Crown’s Master's daughter into the Prince Qi Palace?

Could it be that that dream was really just a pretense?

In actuality, was it because of Cheng Wan's influence behind the scenes?

This thought allowed Qi Yu to understand everything.

So it turned out that there really was a mysterious push behind this marriage proposal. It was just that this push wasn't to help the Eastern Palace. It was just a selfish mother trying to find a golden turtle for her daughter!

or perhaps, it was because Chu Zhe also had feelings for Cheng Wan, that was why he took Cheng Wan's daughter as her daughter-in-law. If Chu Zhe was heartless to Cheng Wan, why would he keep Cheng Wan by her side for more than ten years, and pay so much attention to Cheng Wan's opinions?

No wonder Chu Zhe treated her so well!

Even Chu Yixuan felt that she was causing trouble for the Prince Qi Palace, but Chu Zhe did not reprimand her, and even praised her well!

It was no wonder, no wonder, no wonder, many things that he could not figure out were now clear!

Qi Yu turned around and looked at Mrs. Xu: "You guessed where Cheng Wan is, then Crown’s Master... Have you guessed it too? "

— She was no longer Xu Rouzhi, so to call Crown’s Master father, was really a bit hard to say! Even the name Cheng Wan blurted out.

Mrs. Xu was stunned at first, then she thought that Xu Rouzhi called her by her name because she blamed her mother for being so cruel to her. She nodded in understanding: "Yes, I predicted that I would have guessed it."

Qi Yu was shocked! Xu Chang actually knew that Cheng Wan was by Chu Zhe's side, then he … What sort of feelings did she have?

Therefore, Qi Yu asked: "Just now, when you were at the Xu Mansion, what did that words you said mean? Say, can you really do anything for her? Is it really worth it? "

Mrs. Xu shook her head dejectedly. "When Cheng Wan left that year, your father probably guessed that it was because of Chu Zhe. Chu Zhe did not dare to hurt your father's heart, so even if he kept Cheng Wan here, he would not dare let your father know. This might be one of the reasons why Cheng Wan did not have any status in the palace. In the past, the three of them knew very well what sort of relationship they had. At first, I did not understand why your father was not allowed to talk about Cheng Wan leaving, and I thought that it was because he was not willing to be exposed for injuries. But now that I think about it, it might have been done intentionally to numb Chu Zhe and Cheng Wan. "

"Paralysis Chu Zhe and Cheng Wan?"

"Right." The Mrs. Xu nodded and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "I think, not only me, but Chu Zhe has underestimated your father's ability to endure! I wasn't clear about it before, but now it seems that not only did your father already know where Cheng Wan was, he had even prepared to take revenge! But unfortunately, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell it to Chu Zhe and Cheng Wan! If they lie to Xu Chang like this, they should be punished as well! "

Qi Yu looked at Mrs. Xu in shock: "He wants to take revenge on Chu Zhe? How do I take revenge? "

Mrs. Xu glanced at Qi Yu and laughed: "His plan is about to succeed, so I don't mind telling you. — All these years, your father has always felt that it was his responsibility to sweep away all the obstacles in the Eastern Palace's way, and everything he has done was to protect and help the Eastern Palace. So, your father has a great deal of trust in him. But the truth is that no one would have thought that everything he has done, was not for the crown prince, nor for Chu Zhe, but for himself! "

"What do you mean?"

"If you were to say that he is from the Eastern Palace, it would be better to say that he is from the Prince Qi. On the surface, he seemed to support the crown prince Chu Yizhao, but in reality, he was teaching the Prince Qi to bear the shame and plan of his future. It just so happens that since you married into the Prince Qi Palace, you naturally helped him out. On the surface, it seemed like Bi Su was trying to help him send the message, but in reality, the news of Bi Su coming back was arranged by him and the Prince Qi, it was all in order to numb the Eastern Palace, the previous information was all true. After that, they used Bi Su to transmit the wrong information to Chu Yizhao, and slowly guided him to the wrong situation, all so that they could eliminate Chu Yizhao in the end! "

"What did you say?" All of these information shocked Qi Yu so much that she could not believe it, "Crown’s Master is someone from the Prince Qi? How is that possible? "

"He did this all because of hatred. He hated Cheng Wan for betraying him, hated Chu Zhe for deceiving him, hated the fact that he paid in exchange for injuries! So, he wants Chu Zhe to see his own son being crippled while being completely unable to do anything, and he wants Chu Zhe to sink into an abyss of pain that he cannot extricate himself from! "

Qi Yu shouted in shock, "That's impossible! "What evidence do you have?"
