The reason why Xu Shiqiu was monitoring Ye Jingde was also because he suddenly opened his mouth in the audience hall a few days ago when Emperor Ruikang was unconscious.
Furthermore, this was also Ye Jingxing's intention, for him to send a few experts to monitor Ye Jingde.
Although Xu Shiqiu had been busy these past few days, he still placed a bit of his attention on Ye Jingde.
It was just that he did not expect Ye Jingde to escape despite the fact that he had sent experts.
Prince Duan did not know that Ye Jingxing had Xu Shiqiu monitor Ye Jingde, so when he heard Xu Shiqiu's words, he did not understand.
Fortunately, Ye Jingxing did not lie to him, and did not intend to go back on his words. Not only did he explain it to him, he even mentioned his guess.
”There was a rumor outside the palace that the crown prince had left his bloodline in this world, so I suspected him. As more and more happened, it became more and more like his style of doing things. It was only a few days ago, when he suddenly opened his mouth in the great hall, that I asked Shiqiu to arrange for two people to watch him. ”
If Ye Jingde did not run, Ye Jingxing might have felt slightly embarrassed, but he was being watched by the people Xu Shiqiu sent. This was strange.
Prince Duan was also not a person who knew nothing. After hearing Ye Jingxing's words, he thought back to the letter he received today and entered the palace undisguised. He immediately understood.
”So, the letter that I received today was also sent by him?”
At any moment, the three people present were almost certain that this matter was Ye Jingde's doing.
”But why would he do that?”
When the Prince Duan said this, Ye Jingxing and Xu Shiqiu immediately looked at each other, and it was Ye Jingxing who finally spoke: ”Uncle Wang, you are also aware of what happened that year. His mother plotted against my mother, but when she found out that she wasn't going to make it, she forced the Royal Father to promise to give Ye Jingde that name. Because of what happened back then, the Royal Father had always been indifferent to him. Even though he had given Ye Jingde that name later on, after all, so many years, he was actually not taken seriously by the Royal Father. ”
What Ye Jingxing had said was all true. When his mother was about to give birth to him, his cousin took advantage of the fact that she was unprepared to climb onto the Royal Father's dragon bed.
Although he, the Royal Father, had many problems, he was not someone who liked women.
It was just that his Royal Father treated every single one of his women extremely well, even Ye Jingde's biological mother who had voluntarily climbed onto his bed did not blame him further, he was only angered that she did such a thing regardless of his cousin's body.
At that time, Emperor Ruikang would feel guilt towards Ye Jingxing's mother and promised that he wouldn't give Ye Jingde the position of his birth mother.
But who would have thought that Ye Jingde's birth mother, after seeing that he couldn't get the favor and the reward from his schemes, bought over a palace maid and drugged the Emperor Ruikang.
It was precisely because of that drug that time, that Emperor Ruikang hesitated for several days, and finally made the decision to lock Ye Jingde's birth mother in the cold palace, allowing his to fend for himself. Who would have thought that Ye Jingde's birth mother would actually be pregnant?
Later on, when Royal Father decided to leave his mother for her son, she begged him to bestow such a disgusting birth mother name to the newly born Ye Jingde.
However, Emperor Ruikang, who should have rejected it the most softened his heart at that time and agreed.
However, even though Emperor Ruikang agreed to it, in the following years, he had indeed not given Ye Jingde any face. Even if they were to marry each other, he was still the worst of the lot.
”I think, Ye Jingde should have a grudge in his heart.”
After Ye Jingxing finished speaking, he did not speak anymore.
After the Prince Duan heard Ye Jingxing's words, he let out a long sigh.
One had to say, he felt that the nephew in front of him was speaking quite reasonably.
Ye Jingde should have a grudge in his heart.
After confirming this point, Prince Duan looked at Ye Jingxing and asked: Then why did he suddenly disappear? Could it be that once you knew this duke had entered the palace, you would guess that it was him? ”
Hearing Prince Duan's words, Ye Jingxing didn't dare to speak up and answer for a while.
Although he understood Ye Jingde more than others, he did not dare to guess what Ye Jingde was planning to do. His sudden disappearance was indeed too strange, regardless of what he was planning to do, he had to investigate him thoroughly.
Seeing what Ye Jingxing meant, Xu Shiqiu immediately asked for orders, saying that he wanted to personally investigate.
”Qing Qiu, these days you have been very tired. Didn't you say your sister-in-law had a body again?” You should also accompany her more. There are many people in the palace, not to mention that I also want to let the few of them to gain more experience. ”
The moment Ye Jingxing opened his mouth, Xu Shiqiu looked at Prince Duan anxiously. Seeing that Prince Duan did not have any intentions of opening his mouth, he then looked at Ye Jingxing and said, ”Your wife is well, may I know who Your Majesty wishes to send to investigate?”
Xu Shiqiu did not expect his Young Girl to be pregnant again. According to his diagnosis, it should be during the new year.
It was only the new year until now, and the capital was not at peace. Even though it was not the first time Dong Shu had gotten pregnant, people were still worried.
Moreover, Emperor Ruikang had just passed away. He was an official, so even if he did not stay here for three years, he had to stay there for at least three months.
However, his family's Young Girl had found out that he was pregnant, and he couldn't bear to part with his except for this child, so he had no choice but to let her stay at home and raise his.
He thought that Prince Duan would let his imagination run wild when he found out that Young Girl was pregnant, but unexpectedly, he did not react in the slightest.
It was not that the Prince Duan did not hear Xu Shiqiu's words, but he understood that the couple was pregnant during the New Year celebration. That way, the couple would have a better marriage, not to mention that his brother would still be alive.
This sort of thing, he wouldn't do it.
Furthermore, the child in Dong Shu's womb was most likely Xu Shiqiu's eldest son. Furthermore, Dong Shu was of high rank, and had Empress Dowager Hu, who had already left the palace, behind him.
