Chapter 428 Error
Seeing that he was still curious about what Princess Changyang said, and seeing that he still used the surname "Jiang" in the end, Lu Xuan knew that even though he slaughtered the entire Ding Wang Mansion, his knot in his heart was not actually untied.
Therefore, he said in a cold voice: "The princess told us about the past. But if we tell you, will you believe it? Or will you continue to deceive yourself?"
Jiang Yuanfeng was retorted by her and remained silent for a moment.
He knew that Lu Xuan was implicitly mocking him, thinking that everything he did was clearly for his own desires, but he always felt that it was what others wanted, thus rationalizing his sins.
But once... he really didn't know...
He still looked at her expectantly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, but didn't refute, Lu Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Do you want to know why Prince Ding treated you like that?"
As the night deepens and the dew gets heavier, a chill wind sways the palace lanterns beneath the eaves of the palace.
The lights in the mansion of the wealthy family are bright, and it is destined to be a sleepless night full of regrets.
Lu Xuan's silhouette was reflected on the window sash. "The princess said at the time that your mother was just an ordinary maid in Prince Ding's mansion. It was by accident that she climbed into Prince Ding's bed after he got drunk."
"The next day, Prince Ding woke up and discovered the situation. He immediately sent a bowl of contraceptive soup. But your mother poured out the soup without Prince Ding's knowledge, which is how you were born. Prince Ding promoted her to a maidservant, freeing her from the rough labor she had previously done, and even rewarded her with a large sum of silver. However, she kept the pregnancy a secret from the palace, believing that giving birth would bring her even greater wealth and glory."
"So, from the moment he learned she was pregnant, Prince Ding was furious, believing your mother to be wicked. Even after you were born, Prince Ding simply believed you were your mother's insistence, and therefore your child, none of his business. People are always biased, and since your mother's intentions were wicked, he assumed you were no good either."
"Plus, at that time, the palace already had many young masters, and you didn't seem any better than the others. Furthermore, the prince only had the princess in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to his other concubines and their children, so he didn't want to have anything to do with your mother."
"As he said, if he hadn't known your mother was pregnant, you would have been born. In a wealthy family, if a maid had a miscarriage, not only would the child be in danger, but even the maid's chance of escaping alive would be a matter of life and death..."
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Jiang Yuanfeng stood there in a daze for a long time.
Back when they were still in the manor, that woman whose appearance he had long forgotten had told him many times that he was of noble blood, that Prince Ding had taken her by force, that the wealthy and powerful were ruthless and cruel, and that the princess had driven her and her son out out of the house out of jealousy...
They said that as long as they returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, they would be able to live a life of wealth and glory. They said that they were supposed to be the best of the best...
The truth, turns out to be like this?
It turns out that the facts he knew were actually lies that turned black into white from the very beginning?!
"Hahaha..." He burst into laughter again.
What is true? What is false?
It turns out that the belief I had held all my life was false, and that I was deceived by my biological mother was true!
It turned out that from the very beginning, Prince Ding had never thought of letting him be born.
It turns out that his birth was a mistake from the very beginning...
Hahahaha...
In fact, in his opinion, preventing him from being born is the real liberation, and it is also the real responsibility for him!
All this time, he thought that it was the man who abandoned her, but he didn't expect that it was the woman who left him and tried to use him to marry into a rich family!
He stood up, his face flushed, and he staggered to Lu Xuan. He pointed at her and laughed with tears in his eyes: "Hahaha..."
In an instant, that smiling face turned fierce again, "Ridiculous, ridiculous!!"
He pointed his fingers heavily at the ground, and the veins on his neck popped out from his growl. He seemed to be using all his strength, and his sleeves made a few whistling sounds.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows. "That's why I said it just now. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you, Lord Jiang."
He staggered back two steps, shaking his head and laughing, tears streaming down his eyes like a refreshing rain that had finally fallen on the dry and rugged rocks.
He sat down on the chair, covered his face with his hands, and couldn't help sobbing.
Liquid was dripping from between her fingers. The self-conceited pride that she had been unwilling to reveal in front of Jiang Xing was now fully exposed.
After a while, a maid came in to add tea. The white mist outside took advantage of the crack in the door and rushed in, bringing a chill.
The coldness sobered Jiang Yuanfeng up a bit. He licked his dry lips and tongue, then wiped his tears and quickly calmed down his emotions. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
He glanced out the window and said, "It's almost dawn. Anything else you want to ask?"
Jiang Xing smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Lord Jiang."
He stood up, his face reflected in the candlelight looking bright and energetic.
"My Lord, regarding the matter with Niu San'er, I want to know where you learned of the existence of such a person, and how did you set up such a shocking situation? After all, you had no connection with the palace before."
Jiang Yuanfeng moistened his throat and changed from his previous collapse to being very calm.
It was as if there were no more ties or regrets, only the calmness of accepting fate and treating death as life.
He was quick to respond and spoke eloquently.
"Nineteen years ago, after being hunted by the Shenji Sect, I entered the capital. Initially, I used mystical techniques to resolve the situation and came into contact with many dignitaries. I quickly saved some money and settled down in the city."
"After settling down, I carefully considered the matter. The Emperor was already old at the time, and it was said that the struggle for the throne among the princes was raging. If I wanted to quickly ascend to a high position, the fastest way would be to take advantage of that period to get close to the Crown Prince. In the future, I could become a close minister to the Emperor by virtue of my meritorious service."
He waited at the palace gate every day, just to wait for the prince's carriage to come out. He planned to recommend himself as an aide and slowly carry out his plans.
After waiting at the palace gate for half a month, he finally met the prince at that time, but was rejected by the prince who was quite strategic and scheming.
But he did not give up. A mere rejection was nothing.
After observing for many days, one day he saw the prince leaving the palace again and heading towards the Duke's Mansion. So he found a seat on the top floor of the building along the street of the Duke's Mansion and watched carefully to see when the prince would come out.
After waiting for a whole morning, he finally saw the man come out. He hurriedly chased after him, but found that the man was too similar to the prince, but was not the prince at all.
Only then did he realize that the man looked very much like the crown prince, but without the purple aura, he was not the crown prince. However, he was from the Eastern Palace.
From that moment on, the news was buried in his heart.
In addition to keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace, he also had to make a living, so he used the money he earned to hire a few people to keep an eye on the Eastern Palace's carriage leaving the palace for him.
He met the prince several times later, but they all rejected him, and the person he had met before who looked very similar to the prince never appeared again.
Thinking that the path of the prince was not easy, he had originally planned to find another way, but he didn't expect that there is always a way out. Sixteen years ago, he met the guard who looked very similar to the prince many years ago.
The man was ordered by the Crown Prince to deliver a birthday gift to the Duke's Mansion. When he came out of the Duke's Mansion, he happened to meet Ji Jiaru, the eldest daughter of the Ji family.
Miss Ji called the "Prince" and was very attentive to him, calling him "Brother Prince" in a charming way. He was upstairs at the time and saw with his own eyes the fake Prince chatting with her, his expression as if he were a star of love.
So he used a talisman to eavesdrop on their conversation, but when he heard him, he didn't seem to see him as if he saw himself, and he didn't clarify that he was not the prince. Instead, he seemed to be immersed in it, and enjoyed Ji Jiaru's eagerness very much.
At that time, he had a vague idea in his mind.
The fake prince and Ji Jiaru walked and talked for more than an hour, and they even went to the peony garden outside Nanxunfang.
After the two separated, he took the initiative to appear in front of the fake prince in the guise of a gentleman from the martial arts world.
"This gentleman's face is connected to the Emperor Star, and there is a faint purple aura on his forehead. This is the face of the ruler of the world!"
The Crown Prince was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing what he said. "You look young and handsome, but how could you speak so strangely? You are talking nonsense! If you continue to speak nonsense like this, be careful that the emperor will chop off your head!"
I don't know if the 'prince' was afraid or worried about being recognized, but he was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly and soon left angrily.
But his purpose was not to make that person believe, but to plant a seed in his heart.
So when he saw the 'Prince' leaving in such a state, he was not disappointed, but instead felt that it was feasible.
Because the person who left still had the crane spirit he had placed on him, which could help him spy on the East Palace.
