”I don't really understand. Isn't Zheng Family the empress's mother's house? It's more like not fighting with Imperial Noble Consort Shen, it's natural that Zheng Family doesn't want to marry, what's so strange about that?”

Xie Jingxi did not directly answer Ming Yu's question, but Fang Dai answered and said: ”I was about to speak of this matter, Madam had me send someone to follow the Fourth Miss in the second house, but today, I discovered something fishy.”

Xie Jingxi had always suspected that Fourth Miss was not that simple to come back from, and other people's thoughts were temporarily hard to guess, but following Fourth Miss was actually very easy.

As for the imperial family, whose bloodline was always cautious, it was unlikely for them to enter the imperial Jade Butterfly without verifying the child's identity. However, since the crown prince was demanding for the heir, and also had the guarantee from the crown prince and the Crown Prince's Wife, there was no need for too much scrutiny, not to mention that the crown prince was already crippled, so the issue of the heir was not a big deal.

Crown Prince's Wife was so straightforward, it was hard to say if she did not have some selfish motives, and Fourth Miss was not a pure and loyal woman, so she might be able to do something that would confuse her son. As expected, when she gained her freedom, she could not help but meet her former sweetheart, and in the past few days of investigation, she had found more than one.

He is indeed the third young master of Zheng Family, Zheng Heinian. Fourth Miss went to Zheng Heinian's courtyard alone for a long time, and more interesting is that we found another person following us. We later found out that this person came from the palace. ”

”People from the palace?” Xie Jingxi could not help but be concerned, there were actually people in the palace who were suspicious of the Little Prince's identity, then this would become a huge matter. What if His Majesty found out, wouldn't it implicate Marquis Mansion?

Afterwards, he mentioned it to Gu Yun, and Xie Jingxi said: ”Looks like little royal grandson really isn't from Former Crown Prince, as for whether or not he is from Zheng Family, it is unknown, our Fourth Miss is extremely capable, and we do not know how many of them are involved.”

What Fourth Miss was thinking was that he should spread the word to fish more, in any case, whoever he caught would not be able to get out, so he got lucky and got caught by the Crown Prince. It was just that the Fourth Miss was unlucky, he was crippled the moment he entered the door, probably because he had enough time to think of other ways to escape.

Gu Yun muttered to himself with furrowed brows, ”Firstly, Zheng Family and Empress may not have the same thoughts. In the past, when Former Crown Prince was in power, everything was fine, but now that the Former Crown Prince is crippled, the Empress isn't that important to him, and it is reasonable for her to support the Second Prince instead. The best way for the lady to marry a prince's wife is to cooperate with the Queen once more and support the young generation.”

First, Zheng Family was considered a big family, and second, the Queen had said that it was a tool used by the family to maintain the family's power. Once the next emperor was given by the family, it would guarantee the prosperity of at least the third generation of Zheng Family, but now that the crown prince had been crippled and the empress had lost her value, it was possible for her to be abandoned by the family.

However, the empress wasn't as useless as they had thought. Not only was the Former Crown Prince not destroyed, she was instead raised up once again, and this action was definitely not consistent with the benefits of the Zheng Family, so the empress and the Zheng Family were likely to be in a struggle, because the empress knew better than them that the path to support the little prince was too far, and if there wasn't an excessive second generation, it would be difficult to pass the position of emperor to the young imperial grandson.

The empress must have made some preparations. Not only had she nurtured the Third Prince, she had also nurtured the young royal grandson with her Zheng Family. To put it more deeply, passing the position to the young royal grandson through the mouth of the Third Prince was more reasonable and reasonable.

Xie Jingxi said: ”That is to say, the group of people who sent people to follow Fourth Miss were most likely sent by the Queen. Once they find out that this child is not from Former Crown Prince, the Queen will very likely eliminate him secretly.”

Gu Yun did not deny her words, ”The Queen's days are not easy, she has to fight for herself.”

If this child was not born into the crown prince's family, the empress would definitely protect him with all her might. If this child was born into the family, then even if the empress was still the empress, she would definitely still be the empress controlled by the Zheng Family, and at that time, she would truly be a widowed mother and puppet.

So the empress wanted to get rid of the young imperial grandson before this, and Zheng Family had no way out, so she had to support her and the Third Prince in the end. It had to be said that the empress's actions were very decisive, and with this, the empress managed to preserve her Marquis Mansion as well.

”I am only worried that Zheng Peiru has really left home to find Shen Huanzhi. If she were to really cause a ruckus, Shen Huanzhi might get into big trouble.”

Gu Yun frowned, ”She went to look for Shen Huanzhi? That's bad, I have to bring him back before she finds him. ”
