”Su Muchang was not born easy. At that time, the empress dowager did not want to have a child with the bloodline of the Wei family, and she kept indulging the concubine in dealing with my mother. It took a lot of effort before she was born, and the emperor really liked it. Su Mu Qing laughed mockingly, ”Therefore, mother also has high hopes for Su Muchang, and sincerely hopes that he can do as the Emperor wishes.”
”With the first one, I never thought of having another one.” ”Perhaps it's an accident. My mother has me again, and the imperial physician at that time said that I'm a girl, that's why I signed up. I was born in a daze, and the only one that didn't understand it was a boy.”
”At that time, the Wei family should have been in its prime. Possessing two princes would make it seem as if they were above the status of one man and tens of thousands of people.” Su Mu Qing paused for a moment and looked at the tablet in front of him. ”However, prosperity and decline are the destinies that every dynasty cannot escape.”
”The Emperor's wings are already full, so naturally he can't tolerate the Wei family being so powerful. He began to favor the Imperial Consort Wen, and intentionally or unintentionally, he drove them away. ”These things are mostly told to me by the nuns. A few years ago, Qing Yi also found a few fragments, and even if they were pieced together, the truth of that year could only be infinitely close. If I really wanted to know, it would be almost impossible, at that time I was still too young. I can't protect anyone. ”
What happened that year. Perhaps only those few people in the palace would know. However, everyone had their own opinions and opinions. What others saw and what they thought might not be true. In the end, too many people's emotions were mixed in.
It was almost impossible to truly restore what happened back then. However, a few major events should have been mild.
Jiang Wanyan did not interrupt, but waited until Su Mu Qing had slightly calmed down before he continued, ”The Wei family is weakened, and the crime is that our mother deliberately murdered the dragon embryo. We can't find out what happened exactly, but the cause of the Wei family's destruction is indeed this.”
”How much the empress dowager participated in? How much the emperor participated in? And how much the Wen Family participated in? I don't know. At that time, my mother definitely didn't know either. No one listened to her excuses, so the emperor doesn't believe her.” Su Mu Qing's voice lowered, ”Perhaps he knew that my mother was innocent, but he deliberately planned to do so.”
After that, in order to pacify Wen Family, or perhaps to reward Wen Family, the Emperor ascended to Imperial Consort Wen as his concubine, and the Wen Family was promoted as a matter of course, receiving a share of the Wei family's spoils.
Su Mu Qing was still young, so all of her hopes rested with Su Muchang. The emperor liked Su Muchang so much, she hoped that Su Muchang could take back her favour, and restore the Wei family's decline.
Because he was afraid of losing, because he was in a hurry to gain benefits, Imperial Consort Shu often scolded Su Muchang, hoping that he would be able to do the best.
It was also around that time that Su Muchang was very close with Wen Ye.
”Qingyi found out that Wen Family knew about the change in my mother's mood at the time. He intentionally approached Su Muchang to get close to him and treated him extremely well. At that time, the mother often scolded him harshly, and the concubine said the mother did it because she loved me. ” As the light in the Ancestral Hall gradually dimmed, Jiang Wan Yan felt that his body was a little cold, ”This is probably the reason why after this, when a concubine is unable to bear children, Su Muchang is actually willing to be raised by a concubine.”
