Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent

Mother Zeng echoed with a smile, "No, the princess is an interesting and good girl, even the old slaves like it very much."

Wen Nong Nong pretended to be shy and said, "I'm afraid my tail will grow out if the queen mother and Mama Zeng continue to boast."

The two old people were stunned at first, but after they understood, they couldn't help but laugh.

The Empress Dowager patted her head, smiling from ear to ear.

After a while, the laughter stopped, and she said meaningfully: "The tail is not necessary, but I hope that your stomach will have good news as soon as possible."

Wen Nong Nong felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words.

She and Gu Linchao haven't taken that step yet, how can they get pregnant?

But in front of the elders, she still showed a proper shyness and did not answer her words.

The Empress Dowager was even more happy when she saw it.

Nong Nong is a good boy, and even if the two of them haven't completed their marriage yet, it doesn't matter.

If she hadn't worried that her body wouldn't last long enough to see Chao'er's son born, she wouldn't be so anxious, and she wouldn't have so many things.

After Mother Zeng served tea, the Empress Dowager took Wen Nong's hand and sat down on the soft couch by the window.

"What do you think of Chao'er?" she asked suddenly.

Wen Nong Nong was stunned for a moment, but said without thinking, "Your Highness is a very good person."

The folds on the Empress Dowager's face deepened, and she said meaningfully, "What is the best way?"

Wen Nong Nong pointed out Gu Linchao's advantages, "The prince has a heart for the people of the country and the great cause, he is just and selfless, his character is pure and innocent, and he is also very good to the soldiers under him. He is very thrifty and doesn't like to waste luxury. He looks cold, but in fact he has a kind and fiery heart, treats me very well, and can condone my petty temper..."

Having said this, Wen Nong Nong was stunned.

Gu Linchao has so many advantages.

Unconsciously, she kept his advantages in her heart, so she could come when she opened her mouth.

The Empress Dowager heard a full smile, "So Chao'er is so good in Nong Nong's heart."

Wen Nong Nong came back to her senses and blushed a little with embarrassment, but she nodded and said, "My lord, he is really good." So good that she was fascinated by him unknowingly.

"In this way, Nong Nong likes Chao'er very much." The Empress Dowager was very satisfied.

Wen Nong's face became hot.

It's okay to be fooling around in front of Gu Linchao on weekdays, but in front of her elders, she can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although, she did like Gu Linchao very much.

I like it, and I am willing to live with him like this.

The Empress Dowager suddenly sighed at this time, "But the court is so good now, but I have suffered too much when I was a child..."

Wen Nong Nong was stunned, seeing the sad expression on her face, her heart tightened, she held her hand, and said with relief: "That's all over, don't think too much about the great empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager held her hand instead, patted the back of her hand lightly, shook her head and said, "But that matter, Aijia would never let go of it until she died. If it wasn't for Aijia's negligence back then, Chaoer You don't have to suffer that much, for many years, Aijia has been blaming herself and couldn't forgive herself."

Wen Nongnong felt that the thing that the Empress Dowager said was definitely related to the thing that the king said when he was in the palace, and maybe it was the same thing.

She was actually curious about what happened to Gu Linchao back then, but she didn't ask when the words came to her lips.

The truth must be very cruel that the Empress Dowager is so self-blaming, and she may not dare to listen.

But the Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned this matter and planned to tell her.

"... On the Shangyuan Festival when Chao'er was seven years old, Aijia took Prince Jiande and Chao'er out of the palace to appreciate the lanterns. Who knew that they were attacked by assassins on the way, and the guards who followed me out of the palace were all killed. Yes, the assassin also set fire to the lantern festival and created chaos.

In order to save me, Prince Jiande was injured by a fallen log. At that time, I was so anxious, and there were people running for their lives everywhere. I was thinking about Prince Jiande's injury. I knew Chaoer was afraid, but I didn't pay attention to him. When I turned to look, I realized that he was gone..."

Speaking of this, tears flashed in the eyes of the empress dowager.

Wen Nong's heart sank when she heard it, and she couldn't help but ask, "What happened later? Did you find the prince?"

The Empress Dowager said bitterly: "At that time, the late emperor sent a lot of people to look for him, but they could not find any trace of Chao'er. I even thought he was killed at that time, until a year later, the people sent by the Prince Jiande were in Chao'er. The state found him. But when Prince Jiande rushed over, Chao’er was being treated inhumanly, and he almost, just…”

The Empress Dowager was too choked to speak.

Wen Nong Nong's heart tightened, thinking of what King Jin said, his face became very ugly.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That beast actually fed Chao'er with loose bone incense and almost killed him... He was only eight years old at the time, how dare they?"

Wen Nong Nong clenched her fingers, and sure enough, Gu Linchao had a bone incense before, but he didn't expect that at such a young age, those people were really crazy.

At this time, her hand tightened, but it was the Empress Dowager who squeezed her hand tightly, "Not only that, that year, Chao'er actually survived by begging, and he was a dignified prince. to the point of...

Nong Nong, do you know that Chao'er is very smart, and his talent is extremely high. No matter what he does, he can learn it in one go. He was very favored by the late emperor. , but after returning from Jinzhou, although the late emperor still loved him, he changed his mind. "

Wen Nong's heart froze, yes, isn't it the meaning of the emperor's coming to the court? So the late emperor's intended successor was Gu Linchao?

But after what happened to Gu Linchao, the late emperor changed his mind.

Did the late emperor feel that Gu Linchao was already stained, so he was not worthy of being emperor again?

She suddenly felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Empress mother, was Prince Jiande established later?" she asked suddenly.

The Empress Dowager was still immersed in pain, and without thinking about her words carefully, she just nodded, "Yes."

Wen Nong Nong clenched the handkerchief tightly, she had an idea in her heart, and she was about to come out.

Could it be that everything that happened to Gu Linchao's disappearance and finally fled to Jinzhou, and was later abandoned by the late emperor, was the conspiracy of Prince Jiande?

He was jealous of Gu Linchao. Only by removing Gu Linchao could he get the crown prince position logically, so he planned all this secretly?

If this is the case, Prince Jiande's mind is too dark and terrifying.

To be able to design and frame his own younger brother is a very frustrating and dehumanizing thing.
