"I was just one of Princess Ping's dowry back then. I was sent to the Wu family early on. I was only responsible for delivering messages. As I said before, I have never read the letter from the Queen Mother to the Wu family."

"At that time, the old slave was always in the capital. The young general's mother was far away from home. I really didn't know what happened. But..."

Madam Xi's hands tightened, "But the young general's mother did not die when Wu Hongshuang left Beijing. At that time, the old slave heard by chance that Mrs. Wu persuaded Wu Hongshuang, saying that Duke Hu was most likely the commander of the Black Feather Guard at that time."

"It is not embarrassing to be a concubine for Commander Heiyuwei. Sooner or later, you will be the best."

Madam Xi said, and secretly looked at Chen Wangshu. Seeing that there was no turbulence on her face, she felt uneasy.

The former queen was also a powerful figure. If she had no luck, her legitimate son had a lame leg and her daughter Lanzhi was a fool... Why is it that the world belongs to Concubine Gao?

But when the queen was sixteen years old, she was so cunning that she was far inferior to the second girl Chen in front of her.

She even brought the girl's unique fleshy cheeks and started to move her hands, but it seemed like she was not leaking, like an old imperial decree who had been fighting for many years.

"What did you do when you sent Wu Hongshuang? Tell me what you know."

When Madam Xi heard Chen Wangshu's words insignificant tone, she breathed a sigh of relief. She did not continue to ask Yan Jue's mother about it.

"The county lord doesn't know that the late emperor was very happy at that time, and he ignored the emptiness of the national treasury and wanted to fight the northern expedition. There were many people dissatisfied with him in the court. King Ping repeatedly advised the late emperor to be more important than peace... but the late emperor did not listen."

Chen Wangshu nodded. The Chen family was well-read and learned from history. She was good at her grandfather's knees, so how could she not know about this?

King Ping and the late emperor were in conflict with each other and had a red face in the court many times. But he was just a prince of Taiping, with no real power, no real difference, and was really inconspicuous. There were not many people at that time, so they took him seriously.

However, my grandfather Chen Bei once gave divination to all the royal relatives, but only King Ping was the most unlucky to divine it.

The old emperor was also particularly afraid of him.

Thinking about it now, it must have been that at that time that King Ping had already become unjust, so he wanted to inquire about the affairs of the Hei Yuwei Commander and take control of Yan Jue's father.

"After Wu Hongshuang goes up the mountain..."

"How are you sure that my father will take Wu Hongshuang up the mountain and take her? After all, he is not a real bandit." Yan Jue interrupted Madam Xi and asked.

Chen Wangshu wanted to give him a thumbs up, which was indeed a good question.

It would be fine if the bandits were lustful, but Yan Jue's father was obviously not a real bandit. He was doing things for the late emperor. If he had to guess according to Prince Ping's Mansion, he might even be the commander of the Black Feather Guard at that time.

So, what reason does he have to rob a private girl and confirm the banditry? Or, could he be so stupid to rob a noble girl who might be a spy to go up the mountain?

Unless, it is not a robbery, it is a united state.

Chen Wangshu was shocked when he thought of this. She suppressed the thoughts in her mind.

Perhaps because when she was still Song Qing, her father was the only one who could rely on, so she also made the best guesses for all her father's roles, especially Yan Jue's father, who was indeed a hero who turned the tide.

But what if this hero killed his wife and turned to King Ping? Judging from the ending, he went from a bandit that everyone disliked, to a Duke Hu Guo who was inferior to one person and above ten thousand people!

This may not be impossible.

Chen Wangshu thought about it and looked at Yan Jue secretly. His brows were frowning tightly, and his lips were pursed into a line. I don’t know what he was thinking.

Madam Xi paused, "I went to investigate the Prince Ping's Mansion. Although Duke Hu and his friends were bandits back then, they did not go down the mountain easily. They discovered that the rich people with good fortune passed by before they would start."

"At that time, we made a rumor out in advance. It was said that an official wanted to send a birthday gift to Mr. Xu in Tokyo, and Wu Hongshuang was the beauty presented by the local government. The old emperor was dissatisfied with Mr. Xu for a long time. The Black Feather Guard had no reason and would not take this evidence."

"Which Wu Hongshuang, who is a witness, will naturally be taken to the village."

Madam Xi said, glanced at Yan Jue and sighed, "It's fate. When Wu Hongshuang arrived, your mother was no longer there, and you were still a baby. There was no serious woman on the mountain..."

"The two of you are smart people after this, so I won't talk about it."

Chen Wangshu frowned. This old foolish slave always speaks untruely, and may not be able to believe it.

"But the court has never heard of the word "Birthday Gift". Don't say that Hu Guogong knew that the birthday Gift was fake, he still doubted Wu Hongshuang..."

Madam Xi shook her head, "I had expected this in the morning. There was no valuable thing in the box of the birthday gift. Their journey was just fake. It was really a long time ago that way, and they had already walked on the water road and entered the capital."

"Wu Hongshuang was just a little girl who went to visit relatives. She was inexplicably captured and became a scapegoat to fool the bandits. At that time, we even gave her a poison to make it more realistic."

"The doctor can get it by taking the pulse, which makes it easier to gain trust from others. Some words that I don't know whether to say or not. Wu Hongshuang is nameless and has never been accused of having a courtship with Duke Hu, and has become a marriage."

"Later, Duke Hu became famous in battle, and Wu Hongshuang and the young general were taken to Lin'an City. He also went back to talk to the old lady for a long time, worried that the Guild of Hu Guo married another noble daughter..."

Chen Wangshu picked up the tongs, plucked the fire in the charcoal basin, and added a few more pieces of carbon to make the room warmer.

"Calculate the time, from Wu Hongshuang Mountain to Duke Hu becoming famous in battle, there have been several years of this. What news has she sent back?"

Madam Xi seemed to have said everything, but she gave up and looked calm.

"It is hard to say whether Duke Hu is the commander of the Heiyu Guard. But he is making money everywhere for the Emperor and recruiting soldiers and horses... The young general, the old slave will offend what he will say next, so please don't care."

"The young general's biological mother is a tomb robber... the entire family, ancestors, were all tomb robbers. They accumulated a lot of money and hid in one place."

"When the young general's mother was alive, she hid it all, and even Duke Hu could not open it. So after her death, Duke Hu opened a secret place again and stocked up these treasures."
