"Of course it's true. Besides, even if Wen Wan marries into the Marshal's Mansion, she won't agree. Firstly, the South Jin Kingdom is afraid of your family. Secondly … haven't you punished her enough? Wouldn't she be asking for trouble if she marries into the Marshal's Mansion? "
That seemed to be the case.
Wei Ziyao still believed in Ki Chien-chul. He would definitely do what he promised.
Although the two of them made a lot of noise on their way back and looked very happy, it was obvious that Ki Chien-chul had a lot on his mind.
It must be because of his mother's matter that he kept in his heart.
"Ki Chien-chul, do you know that there was an emperor before Father?"
"I've heard of it, but I was young then. After that, this news was not allowed to be mentioned. I don't know much. I only know that everyone said that the previous emperor was very similar to the Retired Emperor. The two of them were birds of a feather. That was why the Retired Emperor admired him so much and even passed the throne to him."
This was another new discovery. It seemed that the Retired Emperor was not a reliable person.
"Then do you know that the Empress Dowager's old granny is the previous emperor's birth mother?"
"I know that. When she was young, she was jealous of Grandmother's beauty and bullied her. Now, it's just karma."
It seemed that Ki Chien-chul was pretending to be ignorant of the world.
There was nothing in the palace that he did not know.
"Then … if that person is really your birth mother, have you ever thought about why she was put under house arrest in the palace and protected by the Xuanyuan Guards?"
The Xuanyuan Guards were there not only to protect her but also to monitor her.
"This is obviously a huge secret. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed people indiscriminately. Obviously … the Emperor's order is that anyone who discovers this secret is to be killed without mercy. After so many years, maybe it's not that no one has gone there, but those who have gone there are already dead."
This thought was scary, but it was also true.
"His Majesty has never issued any prohibition. He has never said that no one is allowed to go there, so no one knows that there is such a mysterious place there. Today, Old Ninth and I went in, but what if someone else went in? Will they be killed as well? "
Since the Emperor didn't want anyone to know about this matter and still wanted to keep her in the palace, it could be seen how important this woman was to him.
"Ninth Brother is now Father's favorite child, and they even dared to lay their hands on him …"
Because he had a son at an old age, Little Jiu was younger than some of the Emperor's granddaughters, so he was very doted on. The key point was that Little Jiu was not a candidate to be the Crown Prince. The Emperor was good to him, so no one would be jealous, and no one would think too much.
That was why the Emperor had always been close to Yuan Yuan for the past two years. Even so … They still wouldn't let Yuan Yuan go …
Wei Ziyao didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Ki Chien-chul also fell silent.
Wei Ziyao only spoke when they returned to the herb garden.
"Since I came out of the palace alive today, Father won't pretend that he doesn't know. He will talk to me. It just so happens that he has something that I have been wondering about for a long time. Today, the Empress Dowager also cleared my doubts."
This was the needle in the Emperor's head. It was probably the doing of the old nanny who washed his feet. No wonder the Emperor believed this so much. In fact, he had suspected it for a long time.
