Chapter 126 Madman Xiao Juzhu
Hua Shu's body stiffened, and for a moment she suspected that Concubine Li Shu was lying, but when she met her extremely serious eyes, she knew that she was telling the truth.
But she didn't understand. She grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if Xiao Junru didn't like her, she knew that she slept with her mother. Why did Concubine Li Shu say that she might be Concubine Fu's daughter?
Could there be some hidden story behind this? Thinking of this, Hua Shu's mind flashed through the scenes every time Concubine Fu mentioned her biological father, and her hands tightened unconsciously.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Concubine Li Shu couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a moment. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Actually, I also have some doubts that you are Concubine Fu's daughter."
Hua Shu withdrew his thoughts, looked at her and asked, "Why do you suspect that I am her daughter?"
Concubine Li Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "After the miscarriage, the imperial concubine devoted herself to Buddhism and didn't care about the affairs of the palace. But since you entered the palace, she not only came forward to defend you, but also angered the queen, so I am a little suspicious."
In fact, it was not the Queen who told her that Hua Shu was the daughter of Concubine Fu. Instead, after she heard that the Queen wanted to let Hua Shu enter the palace, she wanted to find the Queen to ask about Hua Shu.
She still remembered that day when she arrived at the gate of Chonghua Palace before entering, she heard what the Queen and Concubine Yi were talking about, but she did not hear the details clearly. She only heard the Queen say the words Hua Shu, Concubine Fu, and daughter.
She didn't believe it at first, after all, the ages didn't match. But everything Concubine Fu did after Hua Shu entered the palace made her think of what the Queen said that day.
Now that she has chosen Hua Shu, she naturally has to tell her everything she knows about her to prevent her from falling into the Queen's trap.
Hua Shu was silent for a moment, then looked up at her and asked, "So, the emperor is my biological father?"
"Cough cough cough" Concubine Li Shu didn't expect her to say this and almost choked to death on her own saliva.
After she recovered, she looked at Hua Shu and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Hua Shu looked at her in confusion: "If the imperial concubine is my biological mother, then my biological father must be the emperor."
"No." Concubine Li Shu shook her head, moved closer to her, and lowered her voice: "I checked the imperial concubine before and found that she had a lover before entering the palace. It was..."
At this point, she paused, glanced at Hua Shu, and then continued, "It's your second uncle, Hua Huaijin."
The first time she heard Hua Huaijin's name from someone else's mouth, Hua Shu's hands unconsciously clenched in her sleeves, but she was still puzzled and asked, "So you suspect that I'm the daughter of the imperial concubine and my second uncle?"
Concubine Li Shu nodded. She indeed thought so.
Hua Shu couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's such a pity that you don't write a storybook."
Concubine Li Shu frowned and looked at her: "You don't believe me."
"I believe you." Hua Shu smiled and said, "But have you ever thought that if I were really the concubine's son, how could she tolerate me sharing a husband with her?"
When Concubine Li Shu heard this, she thought, yes, if it were her, she would never share the same service with her daughter even if she died...
"But why is she so nice to you alone?"
Hua Shu smiled and tidied the hair beside her ears, saying, "Maybe it's because my second uncle loves me as much as I love him."
Concubine Li Shu did not say anything. Although the matter between Concubine Fu and Hua Huaijin was suppressed by the Fu family, she still found out some information.
It was Hua Huaijin who betrayed Concubine Fu, and the two had a very ugly quarrel. If she were Concubine Fu, it would be a good thing for her not to kill the daughter of the unfaithful man. How could she take care of her daughter?
But she didn't tell Hua Shu about this. After all, they were just rumors and she didn't know whether they were true or not.
Seeing that she was silent, Hua Shu did not continue to speak, but looked at her and smiled: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Right now I have something I need to confirm and I need your help."
Concubine Li Shu retracted her thoughts and looked at her: "Go ahead."
Hua Shu sat up straight, moved closer to her and spoke to her quickly in a low voice.
After hearing this, Concubine Li Shu was shocked and looked at her in disbelief.
"You mean Yun Cairen..."
"Sister." Hua Shu interrupted her and said, "Be careful, walls may have ears."
Concubine Li Shu swallowed the rest of her words, hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but said: "Aren't you too suspicious?"
Hua Shu smiled and said, "A wise man should be careful. It's always better to be careful."
Concubine Li Shu thought about it and nodded, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter."
Hua Shu nodded. Concubine Li Shu couldn't help but ask her how she got the maid in the Queen's palace to identify the Queen.
Hua Shu did not hide anything and told the story of how she instigated the palace maid to rebel.
……
At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Junru was half-kneeling on the ground, her forehead covered with cold sweat, while Xiao Juzhu was sitting leisurely on a chair sipping the tea in his hand.
After a long while, he smiled and said, "Aunt, you have raised a good daughter."
After saying this, as if he had thought of something, the smile on his face deepened a little: "You are wrong, you gave birth to a good daughter. After all, you have never educated her."
Xiao Juzhu's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to refute him because he was right. She only gave birth to Hua Shu but didn't raise her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Juzhu just felt bored. He put down his teacup and supported his chin with one hand, saying, "She asked the emperor to take back the queen's phoenix seal just because of a fake pregnancy. Do you think she would ask the emperor to depose the queen if she was really pregnant?"
Xiao Junru lowered her head and said, "I don't know."
"Tsk." Xiao Juzhu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "She is your daughter after all, why don't you care about her?"
He stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside, and said with some melancholy: "Aunt, if she knew what I did, would she kill me?"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued, "That shouldn't be the case. After all, we are on the same journey, and we should respect each other."
"It doesn't matter if she wants to kill me. I will drag her to be buried with me before I die."
Xiao Junru knew Xiao Juzhu better than anyone else, but she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine after hearing what he said.
He seemed crazier than before.
Xiao Juzhu turned around, leaned on the windowsill, and looked at Xiao Junru with a smile: "Aunt, do you think Concubine Fu is really kind to her, or does she have other intentions?"
Xiao Junru lowered her head and said respectfully, "There are not so many people in this world who are truly kind."
"Yes." Xiao Juzhu held back his laughter: "Sincerity is something that changes rapidly, so it's better not to believe it."
After he finished speaking, he sat back down on the chair, playing with a jade pendant with a gentle smile.
"Aunt, the palace might be boring for a while. Why don't you ask Hua Huaiyuan to send Hua Yaoxue to the palace. The reason is to send her to the palace to accompany the "Queen" Rou who had an "accidental" miscarriage. Hahaha."
