Wei Ziyao told him about the old nanny in the Empress Dowager's palace. Ki Chien-chul found it strange too.
"That old nanny has been with Grandmother since she was young. Grandmother is a kind person and treats the servants well. Why doesn't she treat her well?"
The old nanny changed the topic for Ki Chien-chul.
Actually, Wei Ziyao wanted to say something else. She had a feeling that the woman was deliberately leading her to think that way.
She deliberately asked her about Ki Chien-chul, as if she was afraid that she didn't know that the woman was his biological mother.
Was she in cahoots with that old nanny?
Of course, this was just a guess. Wei Ziyao couldn't be sure. After all, that woman was Ki Chien-chul's biological mother. She couldn't say such things carelessly.
"Go away later. I'll ask Grandmother."
"Is that appropriate?" Ki Chien-chul didn't want Wei Ziyao to do so much for him.
"What's wrong with that? Didn't you say it already? Do you still need to treat me like an outsider? "
Ki Chien-chul was successfully taken away by Wei Ziyao. He left.
After a while, the Empress Dowager came back and found that he was gone.
"Where's Sixth Brother? That brat just talked to Old Seven that night and left? "
"No. I have a question to ask you, so I sent him away."
"This girl." The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Ziyao dotingly. "Tell me. What do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask about that old nanny. I see that you're kind-hearted and don't look like someone who would purposely make things difficult for others. So I'm curious. What did she do wrong?"
"You little girl." The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly. "Why don't you go back and ask your grandmother? You don't have to go through me. Why do you have to ask me?"
"Grandmother, it's easy to know a secret. But asking the person involved is a sign of respect. I'm respecting you."
It wasn't that she didn't want to ask. She just didn't care about it before.
"You have such a sweet mouth!" The Empress Dowager praised Wei Ziyao.
He continued, "In fact, this matter is not a secret in the palace, but no one dares to mention it. That person … is the Empress Dowager."
"What?" Wei Ziyao frowned. "Empress Dowager, too?"
"That's right. After the Retired Emperor abdicated, there was another monarch before your Imperial Father. That old granny was that monarch's mother."
Heavens!
How could such a simple question involve the secret history of the royal family?
"In the past, I was just that person's servant who washed her feet. She never treated me as a person. After I gained power, I naturally wouldn't treat her as a person. What is this called? Even if it's just a small matter, I'll accept it. "
How magnanimous of him to be able to make it sound so self-righteous and confident.
"Back then, when she was pregnant, the Retired Emperor took a fancy to Aijia and forcefully doted on Aijia. After having your Imperial Father, Aijia was reluctantly promoted to the position of a concubine. Since then, Aijia had been neglected. Even the people in the imperial harem had forgotten that Aijia was a concubine who washed her feet. It was only when Aijia gave birth to a prince that those people panicked. After all, a mother's status depended on her son. Fortunately, your Imperial Father was quite capable and did not disappoint Aijia.
Wei Ziyao listened to her words and felt that her worldview was refreshed.
Reality was much scarier than television dramas.
Did the Emperor of Northern Wen, who was high up in the air, rise to the throne through a counterattack?
Then he … killed his brother?
The Empress Dowager seemed to have seen through Wei Ziyao's thoughts. "If I say that the Emperor replacing his brother was what everyone wanted and that there was no rebellion or betrayal, would you believe me?"
