Chapter 252: Cooperation with the Grand Prince of Southern Xinjiang
The prince nodded: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
"I'll take care of all the fertilizer for my cousin's field. Just consider it as my thanks to her."
"Although these are insignificant compared to the help my cousin's wife has given me, they are at least a token of my appreciation."
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Prince."
Mo Shu finally came back after being away for a few days. Lu Ziqian really hoped that he would bring back good news.
But the result was the news that Mrs. Sun had passed away.
Mrs. Sun's grandson died of illness at the beginning of this year. Mrs. Sun cried all day long. As she was old and alone, she hanged herself a while ago.
Therefore, he had no way of knowing who the two children belonged to.
"Have you found out about the twins?"
Mo Shu nodded and said, "I've inquired in several nearby villages, and there's only one family that was pregnant with triplets, and they died during childbirth. Neither the adult nor the child survived."
Lu Ziqian frowned. Since Mrs. Sun was dead, it would be difficult to investigate.
He suddenly thought of Doctor Zhou.
At that time, it was Doctor Zhou who said that Jiaojiao had a miscarriage and would be infertile for life after drinking the abortion soup.
That's why there was a fake pregnancy and the incident of holding the baby.
"I'll go find Doctor Zhou myself."
When Lu Ziqian met with Doctor Zhou, he got the same result as before. He swore on his own life that Su Yujiao had indeed had a miscarriage that day.
When Su Yujiao discovered that the child looked very much like Lu Ziqian, she had already come to see Doctor Zhou.
I hope Doctor Zhou will continue to help me keep it secret.
At that time, she had just escaped from the battlefield and had not yet received the imperial edict of divorce, nor had she obtained the Dragon Snake Jade, let alone activated the golden finger.
But the child's appearance already shows that he is Lu Ziqian's child.
She had no ability to protect herself, and was afraid that Lu Ziqian would suspect and find out about Doctor Zhou, so she went to see Doctor Zhou in advance.
Of course, she didn't let Doctor Zhou's help go to waste, so she taught him a lot of first aid knowledge, such as artificial respiration, Heimlich maneuver, physical cooling, etc.
Doctor Zhou is a medical fanatic. He is willing to sacrifice his life for his medical skills, let alone helping someone conceal such a small matter.
That's why today, he dared to swear with his own life.
He is not afraid of death. As long as these life-saving medical skills can continue to be passed down, death is worth it.
But in fact, even if he told the truth now, Su Yujiao would not be afraid. After all, she now has enough ability to protect her two children.
Not anyone can take it away if they want to.
However, she still didn't want Lu Ziqian to know about the two children.
Her plan was to take her children out of the capital and live with her parents once the crisis was over.
I don't want to get into endless arguments over child custody.
Lu Ziqian came out of Zhou's house with a look of loss. Although he had confirmed that the child was not his and Jiaojiao's biological child, he was even more curious about who the child's biological father was.
How come the child looks so much like him?
Could it be that the child’s father looks a lot like him?
But he quickly put these thoughts behind him.
Since it was certain that the child was not his, there was no need for him to think too much about it.
What difference does it make whether they are biological children or not?
Just because they are not his biological children, does that mean he shouldn’t be nice to the two children?
……
Southern Xinjiang Kingdom!
Chu Zhongyuan has been in Southern Xinjiang for some time.
After arriving, he realized that rescuing Chen Yunniang seemed to be more difficult than he had imagined.
Nan Sheng really took this matter seriously. Not only did he heavily guard it, he also frequently moved Chen Yunniang's place of detention.
They even set up several fake prisons, all heavily guarded, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
As a result, he couldn't even find Chen Yunniang's latest detention location.
However, his stay in Southern Xinjiang for more than half a month was not without gain.
At the very least, he had a lot of useful information, including the complex interpersonal relationships, love and hate, and harem secrets of the Southern Xinjiang royal family...
If this information is used well, the rescue mission will become easier.
In the end, he set his cooperation target on the ambitious prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.
The eldest prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was not born of a legitimate wife, but he was the eldest son.
According to the information he had gathered, the eldest prince actually had the opportunity to become the eldest son.
When the Southern Emperor inherited the throne, he had no principal wife, only two concubines and a number of concubines.
One of the concubines was the eldest prince’s biological mother, Concubine Miao!
The other one is the current queen, the Jade Concubine back then!
After the Southern Emperor ascended the throne, the matter of appointing a queen became the next issue.
The Southern Emperor did not trust the noble ladies recommended by his ministers, so someone suggested choosing one of the two concubines to be the queen.
Concubine Miao was very favored at that time and had given birth to a prince, so she should have been made queen.
As a result, in the hall where the queen was crowned, Concubine Miao was suddenly possessed by an evil spirit, and her ugly appearance was exposed. She even took off her clothes in public and posed in a seductive manner.
After investigation, it was found that someone had put a sex poison in Concubine Miao, which caused her to be embarrassed in public.
But the culprit who put the poison in the body has never been found.
Although the truth was revealed, Concubine Miao was doomed to lose the chance to become the queen because of the scandal.
Concubine Yu naturally became the only queen, and her unborn child naturally became the crown prince.
Concubine Miao lost her position as queen and was furious. She insisted that it was Concubine Yu who cast a curse on her, but she could not produce any evidence.
The emperor was annoyed by Concubine Miao and demoted her to a concubine.
But Concubine Miao was a stubborn person. Even when she was demoted to the lowest-ranking concubine, she still refused to give in and was eventually banished to the cold palace.
The eldest prince also went from being the quasi-eldest son to the son of a guilty concubine. He grew up in the cold palace with Concubine Miao and suffered bullying and humiliation from the palace maids and eunuchs.
It was not until Concubine Miao died of illness a few years ago that he had the opportunity to meet the Southern Emperor.
He also took advantage of the Southern Emperor's guilt to quickly gain a foothold in the royal family.
Chu Zhongyuan also found out that Nan Sheng had an accident last time and almost died in the mountains, and was then rescued by Chen Yunniang.
In fact, it was the eldest prince who did it. He wanted Nan Sheng to die!
Because of Nan Sheng and her son, he grew up in hatred and bullying.
He has hated Nan Sheng ever since he could remember.
However, after he tasted the power, what he wanted to do now was to replace it, and hatred had to be put on the back burner.
Therefore, Chu Zhongyuan decided to find the eldest prince Nanyu to cooperate!
"Who are you?" Nanyu looked alert.
Chu Zhongyuan was neither cold nor indifferent, his expression was calm and his attitude was proud.
He was a prince who had been pampered since childhood. His innate self-confidence and sense of superiority were incomparable to the "poor-suddenly-rich" prince like Nanyu.
"King Jing of the North of Daming Kingdom."
Nanyu had heard of this prince of Daming Kingdom. He was the most favored prince and the only one among all the princes to be crowned king.
Inexplicably, he thought of the Queen and the Crown Prince, who were also equally favored.
Thinking of his own experience and situation, he couldn't help but feel hostility towards Chu Zhongyuan.
"I wonder what the prince wants from me?"
"There shouldn't be any intersection between us, right?"
Chu Zhongyuan smiled and said, "You didn't have it before, but now you have it, don't you?"
