Old Madame Xu thought about what happened back then, and her expression changed accordingly.

It was a look of disgust and helplessness.

”Back then, it was His Majesty who ordered your father to watch over the crown prince. The crown prince's residence isn't any other place, it won't suddenly catch fire for no reason.” When Old Madame Xu said this, perhaps it was because she thought back to what happened all those years ago that her head actually ached a little.

Seeing her actions, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu immediately walked up. Before they could say anything, the Old Madame Xu waved at Dong Shu.

”Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable again?” Dong Shu sat on the side of the bed at Old Madame Xu's feet. Seeing Old Madame Xu wave her hand, she immediately walked up and used the handkerchief in her hands to wipe her sweat, then asked: ”Mother, do you need to drink some warm water?”

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu had already quickly turned around. She walked to the side of the table and poured a cup of warm water, which she then placed beside Dong Shu, waiting for her to feed the Old Madame Xu.

Dong Shu didn't feel that anything was wrong with Xu Yanzhu's actions, she naturally took the cup and fed it to the Old Madame Xu carefully.

In fact, the headache she felt when had wiped her sweat was much better, but she was in no hurry to speak. Only after drinking the cup of water that Dong Shu had fed her, when she felt that her body had become lighter, did she pat Dong Shu's hands and let her sit down.

”Take a rest Madame Dong. Mother is much better now.”

After the Old Madame Xu finished speaking to Dong Shu, he then looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued with the words she had said to him: ”Back then, when your father discovered that there was fire, he had found some evidence. However, when he brought the evidence before His Majesty, His Majesty said, 'The royal family wouldn't have a prince that doesn't care about brotherly feelings'.

Your father's ability to observe people's expressions and their expressions is great since he was able to sit as a general from an ordinary soldier. He had wanted to forget the evidence and leave the palace, but His Majesty had called him and said three words to him.

It was precisely because of these three sentences that your father was willing to use his death to cover up this matter. ”

When Old Madame Xu just finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu looked at her and asked: ”How does Mother know all these?”

”Humph!” Although Mother was an inner chamber woman, she still had her ways within the Imperial Palace. ”Although mother couldn't find out what His Majesty and your father said in the end, she was certain that His Majesty wanted to protect his other son. That's why she said those three words to your father.” When Old Madame Xu thought about this, she felt that it was not worth it.

For the sake of the imperial family, he had spent his entire life marrying his only daughter into the imperial family to prove his loyalty.

”When your father first arrived in the capital, it was rumored in the capital that he had angered His Majesty. Many people speculated that your father had caused the crown prince's death.”

”But on the night your father left, His Majesty sent someone to secretly give me a choice as to whether I should stay in or leave the capital.” When Old Madame Xu thought about this matter, she still felt it was laughable. She really didn't think that His Majesty would actually be willing to allow her to make a choice. ”I naturally don't want to stay in the capital, and my choice just happened to suit Your Majesty's thoughts.

Only the death of your father and the decline in our Xu Family can suppress the news of the crown prince's death.

Only the death of your father will lead the ignorant people to believe that your father is the real culprit.

Only the death of your father can save his other son! ”

”How laughable that the world would actually believe that your father was guilty. But why don't they think about it? If your father really harmed the crown prince, with His Majesty's personality and background, how can our Xu Family protect our family property and safely leave the capital? ” It was because of this matter that Old Madame Xu did not want to go to the capital.

”His Majesty wants face, and uses your father's life to cover up the imperial family's scandal.” He thought that ten years would be enough time for him to take care of his sons, but in my opinion, not only did he not break the wings of any of the princes, he even allowed them to grow their own strength.

His Majesty grew softer and softer as he aged. Back then, he still had the courage to force your father to death. But now, he was unwilling to even touch a single one of his sons. Not only was he reluctant to move, he even pretended not to notice the fight between them.

In His Majesty's heart, his sons are all good. The bad things are all their deceitful subjects around them, all their bewitching. That's why his sons are so different from before. ”

This was the first time that the Old Madame Xu had analyzed the Emperor Ruikang in front of her son and granddaughter. Hearing her analysis, both Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu were stunned.

Even Dong Shu, who didn't really understand these things, felt that the Emperor was doing something wrong.

His own son was disobedient, but he had to cover for his son with the death of a minister.

Why?

Could it be that just because he was the emperor, he could punish someone as innocent as he wanted to?

Dong Shu couldn't understand, her mind was in a mess, she still couldn't understand these things.

When Xu Shiqiu first heard his mother's words, he had guessed that the content of what she was going to say would be incomparably shocking.
