Chapter 68
Wei Xiang's eyes wandered on her face, "Do you know?"
Lin Wancheng nodded, "I heard a lot of noise outside the night before, so I asked Chun'er to ask. It was the prince who took the princess away and alarmed the queen mother."
"Also, I have never offended anyone after entering the palace. The only one who has had a holiday is Princess Yun'an. The fifth prince secretly told me that I fell into the lake that time, 80% of the princess was the one who caused this princess."
"So I think the rumors this time should have nothing to do with her."
"Yeah." Wei Xiang responded patiently after listening to it, and his voice was pressed down, not as sharp as usual, and it sounded very normal:
"This princess is definitely not a good person, and it is also a good thing to drive out of the palace. Staying in the palace will definitely be our biggest stumbling block in the future."
"Hiss." Lin Wancheng took a breath and was a little curious: "Entertainment Father, I have a problem."
Wei Xiang glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Tell me, listen."
Lin Wancheng took the hem of the skirt and asked in a low voice: "That's right, why is the relationship between the Fifth Prince and Princess Yun'an so stiff?"
"The Fifth Prince told me before that he had been pushed into the water by Princess Yun'an, but no one believed him. Is this true?"
"yes."
"Why did Princess Yun'an push the fifth prince? I heard from the fifth prince that they were not old at that time, so why did Princess Yun'an do this?"
Lin Wancheng has never figured it out.
Logically speaking, Princess Yun'an grew up in the palace. Although she is not a princess, she is better than a princess.
No one dared to neglect her, and the Queen Mother and the Queen loved her very much.
So Princess Yun'an also grew up with other princes. Logically speaking, the relationship is very good, so why would he even murder the fifth prince?
What's the purpose?
At this evening, no one came to the back garden.
Behind the rockery, there is a night breeze blowing, which is not as hot as during the day. However, when the sky is dark, there are more mosquitoes.
Lin Wancheng grabbed his neck and waited patiently for Wei Xiang.
After a while, Wei Xiang said, "Prince Yun'an has thought he was the future crown princess since he was a child. This is also the default of the empress dowager and the queen."
"Before the crown prince was established, the third prince was the best candidate. But later, the third prince was implicated by the queen, and the position of crown prince was given to the eldest prince."
"Yun'an loved the third prince since childhood, so he became resentful to the eldest prince and wanted to murder the eldest prince. However, the fifth prince happened to know her plan, so Yun'an attacked the fifth prince."
"Although the fifth prince saved his life, he was in poor health. After such trouble, he left the root of the disease."
"The fifth prince was not interested in the throne before. Speaking of which, it was Yun'an who stimulated him."
"So... was it because Yun An pushed him into the water back then?"
"Half the reason is this."
Lin Wancheng hissed, which means that the fifth prince was actually a cannon fodder in this matter, but Yun An changed his mind temporarily because he was knocked out and did not attack the prince first, but wanted to get rid of the fifth prince first.
The fifth prince was not dead. Because he knew Yun An’s plan, he hated Xiao Jingyan.
After all, Yun'an did these things for Xiao Jingyan.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sympathetic to the fifth prince.
He was originally in poor health and could fall down as if the wind blew, and he couldn't live for a few years. Therefore, the throne and other things were simply a luxury for him. Whether he could survive or not is still unknown.
But unexpectedly, Yun An insisted on pushing him forward.
"Where is the other half?" Lin Wancheng broke the casserole and asked to the end.
Wei Xiang hesitated for a moment before telling her: "The other half is because of the fifth prince's mother."
"Ah, Concubine Li." Lin Wancheng remembered.
"Um."
"The fifth prince's mother's mother is not as good as the other concubines, and she is also bullied in the palace, not as bright and beautiful as the other princes. Including Concubine Li herself, she was only prosecuted to be the concubine after her death. She was just a concubine before."
Compared with the Queen and Concubine Song, Concubine Li does not have such a huge family background.
Compared to Concubine Shu, Concubine Li does not have such a charming appearance or a good way to compete for favor.
Even if Concubine Li is noble by her mother, she is just a female official who unexpectedly faces her.
After the fifth prince was born, because he was a baby boy, Concubine Li was granted the title of concubine at that time.
However, because the fifth prince was less than a month old, he almost died.
The queen felt unlucky, so after that, the mother and son were not very favored by the emperor.
The situation between the mother and son in the harem was once in dire straits.
"I understand." Lin Wancheng probably understood.
In this situation, it would be absolutely impossible for the fifth prince to maintain his original intention and not fight for the throne without competing for it.
Even if I was bullied, my mother was bullied.
The fifth prince's situation is not good at all and is not valued by the emperor, so it is understandable to rebel.
"Then adoptive father, why do you support the fifth prince? Logically speaking, the fifth prince has nothing, so how did you win over you?"
Lin Wancheng was so curious that when she asked, her heart felt trembling.
She tried her best to keep it as it is, making herself less nervous and guilty.
She didn't forget what her senior brother said before.
The relationship between her adoptive father and the fifth prince is not simple, so she must not interfere.
But now I’ve asked this, it would be a pity if I didn’t ask about this.
Wei Xiang was not very surprised when he heard this question.
After looking at her, he just said, "You don't need to know this."
"Ah..." Lin Wancheng acted coquettishly.
"Entertainment Father, please satisfy my curiosity."
"Children should not always be curious about adults' affairs. The less you know, the better." Wei Xiang took the whisk and tapped her head gently with his tail.
"It's getting late, go back."
Before Lin Wancheng could continue asking, Wei Xiang started to drive people away.
When Lin Wancheng heard this, he knew that he could not continue asking.
If she continues to pester her, according to her understanding, her adoptive father will probably be angry.
Forget it, let’s talk about it next time I look for an opportunity.
——
On the way back, Lin Wancheng was worried.
I have been thinking about the secrets that Wei Xiang just said.
The fifth prince is also a pitiful person.
But, no matter how pitiful it is, this is not the reason why he attacked Xiao Jingyan.
"Oh." Lin Wancheng sighed and suddenly felt a headache.
It's not easy for everyone to live.
"What's the sigh?"
Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him, and Lin Wancheng was forced to stop.
She looked up at Xiao Jingyan and was slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"
"where have you been?"
Both spoke almost at the same time.
Lin Wancheng looked around and then said, "The adoptive father was looking for me just now..."
