"You, you tell me clearly, what do you mean by that?"
The Northern Wen Emperor clutched his chest, breathing heavily.
"Last time, after you gave everyone in the palace a physical examination, you hurriedly went to the Pure Autumn Temple. Was it because of this?"
"That's right." Wei Ziyao nodded. "Because Qi Minghao's blood type is different from yours and the Empress, but because of some small details, I thought that the Empress and the Retired Emperor might be related, so I hurriedly went to verify it. When I went there, I saw that Qi Minghao's blood type was indeed the same as the Retired Emperor's. After further comparison, I confirmed that they were father and son."
"Ha! Father and son. " The Northern Wen Emperor sneered. "The Retired Emperor's, I really didn't expect this bastard to be the Retired Emperor's!"
Hmm? That means …
"Your Majesty, you already knew that Qi Minghao wasn't your biological son?"
"How could I not know my son? Look at this coward. How is he like me? At first, I thought that this child was the late Emperor's, but I really didn't expect that he was the Retired Emperor's son. "
Sigh … Not many of the Retired Emperor's children were good. Should I say that the Empress Dowager's genes were strong?
She didn't let the Northern Wen Emperor follow the unreliable Retired Emperor.
"In the past two years, the voice of the Crown Prince has been getting louder and louder. I originally wanted to promote the most stupid and useless fourth son to be an empty shell, and then let me observe which one of these sons is suitable to succeed. I didn't expect that by promoting this trash, he would cause so much trouble for me! Could it be that I was wrong? "
Looking at the Northern Wen Emperor's pained expression, Wei Ziyao pursed her lips. "The original intention was good, and this matter could have been carried out properly, but … the Empress couldn't keep her cool."
"But what about Yuanlie? Yuanlie's soul … "These days, Yuanlie's matter had been a knot in the Northern Wen Emperor's heart.
"Yuanlie doesn't blame you."
"Don't blame me? How can you not blame me? It was I who sent that good-for-nothing to quell the rebellion. "
"You sent him and let the second prince follow him. Obviously, you knew what kind of person he was. If he couldn't do it, you let the second prince supervise him. Yuanlie's death is indeed not your fault."
Wei Ziyao had never mentioned this matter after Yuan Lie's death.
"That day, General Yuan Lie wanted to go with us, leaving the Seventh Prince alone in the camp to wait for reinforcements. Because of the Seventh Prince's special status, Qi Minghao wouldn't be too harsh on him. However, the Second Prince felt that the Seventh Prince wouldn't be able to handle it, so he forced Yuan Lie, who wanted to go to the front lines, to stay behind, which led to the tragedy."
After the incident, no one mentioned this matter again. It was a small matter, just a mistake in decision-making. No matter how powerful a person was, there would be times when they made the wrong decision, so it was not worth mentioning.
But it could also be said that it was a big deal. The second prince had always complained that the emperor gave the position of crown prince to the wrong person, which led to this tragedy. But this was caused by a mistake in his decision-making. He blamed the wrong person.
Sometimes, it was better to push such heavy shackles to others to make oneself feel better.
"After the incident, I asked Number Seven. If he was the only one left at the time, things wouldn't be so troublesome. After all, they were brothers. He could find an excuse to avoid it. But Yuan Lie stayed, which obviously gave Qi Minghao a reason to make a fuss, which led to …"
Northern Wen Emperor didn't expect there to be such an inside story.
"In the end, if I didn't let Qi Minghao become the crown prince, these things wouldn't have happened."
"Your Majesty, when did you become so modest? Why do you take all the blame for yourself? You have to know, even if Qi Minghao didn't become the crown prince, Princess Chen was the Empress's spy in Prince Chen's Mansion. Even if Qi Minghao didn't become the crown prince, the trouble he caused wouldn't be any less than now. Eldest Brother was assassinated, Ki Chien-chul was assassinated, the snow disaster, the case of the court's greed, and so on. Which one of them didn't Qi Minghao? This has nothing to do with whether he is the crown prince or not. "
