Chapter 69 Be cautious (one update)
Su Rong thought to herself, how can a woman ask for a man? You can't just say a few nice words and a man agrees, right? I'm afraid I will ask for it with my body.
"Daliang and Wei were married, and there was a truce for the time being. Princess Zhenmin went to Dawei to make peace, but as soon as the marriage team arrived in Wei, a chaos broke out between the two kings in Wei. In the chaos, Princess Zhenmin was killed. The first emperor was furious and sent troops to the Great Wei. This time, the Great Wei urgently asked for peace. The princess’s letter said that she was safe and did not die, and begged the emperor not to start another war, and took the opportunity to let Wei sign the peace treaty, and let Daliang take the opportunity to recuperate. And she was treated as if she was dead, and she would not come back, and there was no need to look for her again. After the emperor heard the news of Princess Zhenmin’s safety, his anger disappeared, so he adopted Princess Zhenmin’s opinion, and took the opportunity to negotiate peace with Wei, so that Dawei not only returned the three cities, but also signed a 30-year non-aggression agreement Treaty."
"Sixteen years have passed since what happened back then." Mother Zhao said: "Later, both the first emperor and the queen mother sent people to look for Princess Zhenmin, but probably because Princess Zhenmin had a secret guard left by Prince Mingrui for her, so the traces of Princess Zhenmin were hidden and they were never found."
After she finished talking about the past, she looked at Su Rong, "Excuse me, Miss Seven, you are quite similar to Princess Zhenmin, maybe you are the daughter of Princess Zhenmin."
Su Rong squinted his eyes, snorted, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, you probably think too much. There are people who are somewhat similar in the world, and Jiangning County is only a thousand miles away from the capital. If my mother is the Princess Zhenmin you mentioned, she should stay far away from the capital, and shouldn't stay so close."
"It's dark under the lights. The former emperor and queen mother thought so too, so they searched all over the world. The old Huguogong has never been with the Jiangning prefect's mansion for many years, and I'm afraid he didn't want to disturb the cleanliness of Jiangning County because of the Huguogong's mansion." Zhao Mama said: "Also, few people know that Princess Zhenmin has a favorite person. Ning Junyi stayed for more than ten years."
Su Rong looked at Mother Zhao.
Nurse Zhao met her gaze, "That's right, the old man is the one who knows about this matter, and the person whom Princess Zhenmin likes is Xie Yuan."
Su Rong suddenly realized that Uncle Xie really liked her mother. This was something she had known since she was very young. It seemed that her mother was undoubtedly Princess Zhenmin in all likelihood. She simply said directly: "Nurse has told me so much, and she is not afraid of scaring me."
Nurse Zhao laughed, "If Miss Seven is so timid, she won't grow up to be so big in Ping An An An."
Su Rong was noncommittal, "Then mother is telling me this now, is she trying to say something? Or is she trying to do something?"
Mommy Zhao shook her head, "I just wanted to prove one thing or two. After all, the Empress Dowager was always thinking about Princess Zhenmin when she was dying. If Aunt Qi is really Princess Zhenmin, I will only love and care for you, Miss Qi, and nothing else."
Su Rong looked into Zhao Nanny's eyes, "How does Nanny ask for proof? Just rely on the rules my mother taught me? Or is this speculation?"
"Miss Seven, do you still remember Aunt Qi? Can you draw a picture? I can tell at a glance." Zhao Mama said hopefully.
Su Rong shook his head, "I don't do my mother's paintings, and I can't do them well."
Nurse Zhao was stunned, "Is there anything left by Aunt Seven? I can tell just by looking at it."
Su Rong shook his head, "The place where my mother used to live was burned down, and nothing remained."
Mother Zhao was a little sad, "Miss Seven doesn't believe in me, does she?"
"No, I can feel Mama's sincerity." Su Rong smiled, "I'm not afraid to tell Mama that after my mother passed away, someone wanted to kill me and broke into my mother's Nuanxiang Pavilion. I'm not that easy to kill, so I killed the person backhanded, and then I was afraid of causing trouble, so I simply set the Nuanxiang Pavilion on fire. The wind was so strong that day, and the fire was so powerful that I couldn't save it.
Mother Zhao was shocked, "Who wants to kill you?"
"I don't know, it hasn't been broken all these years." Su Rong looked at her, "I suspect it's someone from the palace. Why don't you guess who wants to kill me?"
"Impossible!" Zhao Mama vetoed, "When Your Majesty was young, Princess Zhenmin coaxed him to grow up. Princess Zhenmin is three years older than Your Majesty. Although she is a cousin, Your Majesty is her own sister. It cannot be someone from the palace."
Su Rong said "Oh?", "Then what enemies can my mother have?"
Zhao Nanny thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, if Qi Yiniang was really Princess Zhenmin, what kind of enemies would she have, and it would affect Su Rong.
"Can't Mammy figure it out? Now that this is the point, Mammy might as well tell me, who did you meet yesterday? Who is looking for my background?" Su Rong asked.
Nurse Zhao looked at Su Rong in shock, "How does Miss Seven know?"
Mother Zhao was really shocked. Someone found her secretly, so it should be very secretive. That man's martial arts are extremely high, so Su Rong would never know about it.
Su Rong smiled and looked at Mother Zhao, "I grew up in Jiangning County, and I told you just now that people come to kill me every year. How could I let them kill me? Of course, if there is trouble, I can't hide it from me."
Mother Zhao was stunned, "Is there a hidden guard around Miss Seven?"
Su Rong shook her head, "I don't have the hidden guards that the mother said." She paused, "If my mother is really the Princess Zhenmin you mentioned, she only left me a marriage certificate, and didn't leave me any hidden guards."
Zhao Yan wanted to ask, "How do you protect yourself?", But it seems that she shouldn't ask. After all, she and Su Rong have only known them for two days. Now she has said a lot. She is not good at the bottom of Su Rong, so she held this and asked Su Rong: "Whether Miss Seven had saved a person, was a young man who was chased by the back mountain of the Chenghuang Temple. Fishing in it? Do you want to pay for that person's dagger? "
Su Rong nodded, "There is such a thing."
"That's right, the person you saved is the current prince." Zhao Mama was also very surprised, "The person who found the old man yesterday is the current prince's person. As for why the prince wanted to check your life experience, this old man doesn't know. Anyway, the old man asked why, and the man said that His Royal Highness confessed that you are his savior. Related, the prince must also be very puzzled, how did the concubine of the prefect's mansion have such a marriage contract with the Duke Huguo's mansion?"
Su Rong narrowed his eyes.
She looked at Mother Zhao, "So, the prince sent someone to investigate me, in order to repay his kindness after finding out? But after I asked him for a dagger, we settled the matter."
Mother Zhao sighed, "The current crown prince is benevolent and righteous. You think that asking for a dagger will settle the matter, but His Royal Highness doesn't think so. After all, the life of the crown prince is extremely precious."
"That's true." Su Rong nodded, "So, he came to you because he knew that you came to the prefect's mansion to teach me the rules, and wanted to pass you and check me? Then, can you tell me about your suspicion that my mother is Princess Zhenmin?"
"This matter has a lot to do with it. I haven't confirmed it, so I haven't said it yet." Zhao Momo shook her head, "I only said that I met Miss Seven for the first time, but I don't know the reason for it. I have never promised to help His Highness's people investigate you."
Su Rong nodded, "Just now my mother said categorically that the person who wanted to kill me could not be someone from the palace, but just a few days ago, someone wanted to kill me. At that time, there was that dagger beside me. I took it out and used it to block the sword. Because of this, the person who came to kill me suddenly withdrew."
Zhao Nanny was startled, "Miss Seven means that the person who killed you was someone from the palace? Did you recognize the dagger that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave you?"
"It should be." Su Rong took out the dagger and handed it to Mother Zhao, "Is it this dagger?"
"Exactly. I left the palace four years ago, so I have seen this dagger owned by His Highness the Crown Prince." Madam Zhao nodded, "The word "echo" is engraved on it, and it will be reflected when it is baked with fire. It is His Highness the Crown Prince's name. The person you rescued that day was His Highness the Crown Prince."
"So, have many people seen the dagger of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Rong asked.
Zhao Nanny shook her head, "It shouldn't be many, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't take out this dagger to play with every day."
"Thus, those who have seen this dagger should have high status, and they are old or close to His Highness the Crown Prince. At least they can look at His Highness's face and withdraw their plans to kill me." Su Rong said: "Presumably His Highness should know who wants to kill me."
Nurse Zhao nodded, "If you say that, you should know."
"These years, I've always wanted to know who was going to kill me. Why don't you ask me for me. There is a life-saving favor, so please His Highness the Crown Prince to tell me who is going to kill me. This time, add an answer with a dagger, and I will be honest with the Crown Prince for saving my life! Also tell His Highness, you don't have to think about the grace of saving your life anymore." Su Rong thought for a while.
Nurse Zhao nodded, "Okay, I will pass on Miss Seven's words."
She looked at Su Rong, and then thought about it: "If you want to know whether Qi Yiniang is Princess Zhenmin, Miss Qi just needs to take this old slave to see Mr. Xie..."
"What if he doesn't admit it?"
Mother Zhao was speechless for a while.
Su Rong smiled, "Actually, I never cared about who my mother is. I just know that I am Su Rong, Su Xu's daughter. If it weren't for someone who kept assassinating me, I would have a good life, but people who always want to kill me are like flies, which is more annoying."
She looked at Zhao Mama, "So, Mama doesn't have to worry about this matter. As you said, the empress dowager is your old master. Since the old master has passed away, my mother has already gone to Jiuquan. If she is really the Princess Zhenmin you mentioned, they would have met and recognized each other in Jiuquan by now. So, there is no such thing as the so-called empress dowager who is still thinking about it when she is dying. If you have a good life, why bother about the old days? There is really no need, it is the right thing to live and enjoy your old age."
Mr. Zhao was speechless for a while, looked at Su Rong, and smiled after a while, "Miss Seven has a clear heart, it's the old slave showing off. Forget it! Since Miss Seven said so, the old slave won't see Mr. Xie anymore, and I won't mention this matter anymore."
Su Rong smiled and nodded, "Nurse is a sensible person."
Mother Zhao sighed deeply, thinking that Princess Zhenmin was just as intelligent back then, but too gentle. Miss Su Qi is very different from Princess Zhenmin. She is young, sharp-tongued, and tough from the inside out.
Nurse Zhao sat for a while, chatting with Su Rong about some homely things, seeing that it was getting late, she got up and left.
Su Rong closed the door after Mother Zhao left, and took out the dagger. The person she saved that day turned out to be the prince. She thought it was a noble son of a big family in the capital, but she didn't expect it to be the prince. It was indeed beyond her expectations.
If her life experience is as conjectured by Nanny Zhao, if her mother is Princess Zhenmin, then it really has a lot to do with it. When she read Daliang's "Historical Records", she remembered that there was a record that Princess Zhenmin, the daughter of Crown Prince Mingrui, married Wei sixteen years ago. When she first arrived in Wei, she was affected by civil strife in Wei and died tragically.
That is to say, the death of Princess Zhenmin allowed Daliang to take advantage of it for huge profits.
If Da Wei knew that Princess Zhenmin had faked her death back then, not only was she alive, but also secretly gave birth to a daughter, wouldn't she be furious and tear up the treaty, and then go to war? After all, Da Wei has always been ambitious and covetous.
So, if her mother is really Princess Zhenmin, Su Rong can understand that her father and Xie Yuan are hiding it from her. After all, in their eyes, she is still a child who hasn't grown up, so she should be cautious about such a big matter.
