”Infertility? Was the Imperial Concubine Wen unable to have children back then? Why? Is it because of the small stuff? ”
This story was too long and complicated. Jiang Wanyan's entire body was covered in goosebumps. The truth that Su Mu Qing could uncover was definitely not as tragic as what happened in the past. Perhaps this was still not the truth?
The battles within the palace and the imperial court were always filled with sacrifices.
”Concubine Wen could not bear children anymore. In order to punish my mother, using me as her concubine and depriving me of my title, she became her concubine instead, and at that time the emperor said that there was no need to raise two princes, as punishment, one should be given to her. In the beginning, he had chosen me, Su Muchang, to recommend myself to be her son. Su Mu Qing extended his hand to pull Jiang Wan Yan up. Jiang Wan Yan only felt pain in her knees and numbness in her legs. However, there was nowhere for her to sit in the ancestral hall, so she could only silently endure.
I am an unfavoured prince, because I have the blood of the Wei Family flowing in my veins, but I have never felt disgraced. My grandfather, my grandfather, are all extraordinary people, and if Wen Family wants to support Su Muchang in becoming emperor, I will definitely not let them have the chance to do so. ”
When the two of them walked out of the ancestral hall, it was already noon. Uncle Zhang had already returned to the main hall and sat down.
He had seen the greatest glory of the Wei family when he was still a middle-aged, robust man. He was the most respected steward of the Wei clan.
With prosperity and decline, even the dynasty would topple, let alone a powerful official family.
”Uncle Zhang.” Su Mu Qing sat beside him. Uncle Zhang was old and his reaction was slow, his ears were no longer sensitive. He had to wait until Su Mu Qing called out for the third time before he reacted slowly.
”Your Highness, this old servant wishes to ask Your Highness for a favor.” He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed. No matter how Su Mu Qing tried to pull him, he was unwilling to get up. ”I beg Your Highness to grant this old servant's wish.”
”What is it?” As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you. Su Mu Qing sighed. was the only person in the entire Wei Residence who had such a loyal old slave.
Monkeys scattered when the tree fell. Back then, there were more than a thousand servants in the Wei Residence. Other than the Uncle Zhang, no one had ever returned to this place.
This old servant has been a servant at the Wei Residence for the rest of my life. I don't have a wife, wife, or children, and I don't have much time left. Uncle Zhang refused to get up. He made up his mind and kneeled on the ground.
”If you're willing to stay here, it's not impossible. It's just that there's nothing in the manor, so it's not too convenient for you to stay alone. I'll order two people to take care of you when we get back.” Su Mu Qing completely understood the Uncle Zhang's thoughts. Without a family, one would be a member of the Wei Residence for the rest of their lives.
After receiving Su Mu Qing's approval, Uncle Zhang seemed to have finally decided on the last thing in his mind. He nodded and stood up. Hearing that Su Mu Qing and Jiang Wan Yan were preparing to leave, he even walked them all the way to the entrance.
