Although Cui Shangzhou had always been suspicious, this was the first time someone said this to him directly. , this person is still his biological mother.
He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said slowly: "Why did mother say that?"
Mrs.
Min spoke out all the doubts in her heart and said: "It was well known that the concubine and the late princess were at odds with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
For this reason, the princess was unwilling to live in the palace for a long time and moved to the villa.
The love between the prince and the princess as a couple deep, and often live with Villa.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worsened.
Later, the prince went to Beijing and the princess had no one to take care of her, so the prince asked the princess to return to the house temporarily and handed her over to the concubine.
However, the prince left less than a month later.
Things.
Why don’t you make people suspicious?”
Cui Shangzhou said: "These things are just mother's speculations.
How can we say that the concubine killed the late princess?"
"Otherwise, Wu Shi came in the next year and became the step princess.
It was too fast.
It always feels like it was planned from the beginning."
Cui Shangzhou felt a headache.
He thought his mother had discovered something he didn't know about, but it turned out to be just his mother's wishful thinking and no evidence at all.
"Mother, you can't just conclude that it was the concubine who did it just because of this."
Mrs.
Min said: "I am not the only one who thinks so.
Your aunt also guessed the same.
When our Cui family came to Bianliang from Jiujiang, your uncle sent him to be the long history of the palace.
For this reason, your aunt and the princess left.
"She is close to the princess.
If you don't believe me, you can ask your aunt."
Cui Shangzhou had always followed what Mu Xuan said and started with the old people who served the late princess, but he never asked his aunt for confirmation.
It seems he was negligent.
Cui Sangzhou had a vague hunch that it might not be too late to reveal the truth.
Just wait until the day when the truth comes out, how should he tell the princess.
If someone really harmed the princess, how could Princess Guan live with her?
He naturally thought of the princess's illness, and what Rong Zheng once said to him came to mind: "Doctor Guan said, when you are angry, He Dabei will most likely make the princess unable to catch up in one breath."
Cui Sangzhou was full of worries.
He thought about how the princess, obviously such a noble person, had a hard life.
She lost her mother when she was young and her husband when she was young.
He is almost thirty years old, has no sons and a half daughters around him, and is also suffering from a stubborn disease.
There was no one in front of me who knew both coldness and warmth.
Since the princess came back from Fujian, the concubine has arranged several marriages for the princess.
But the princess didn't agree to any of them.
Does she plan to die alone?
Cui Shangzhou looked at the bright moon outside the window, and he fell into deep thinking.
The night wind blew up, blowing up his apricot-white robe and messing up the strands of hair at his temples.
The air was filled with the scent of tuberose from nowhere.
He stood under the window with his hands behind his hands.
He didn't know how long it had passed.

Until he finally made a decision, the corners of his lips raised slightly, as if he didn't regret the decision he made.
After a dreamless night, when he got up in the morning, he hurriedly took a few bites of breakfast and went to his uncle's yard.
Cui Shouze changed his clothes and was about to go to the palace.
Suddenly seeing Cui Shangzhou coming, he stopped, smiled at him and said, "Xiao Qi is here."
Cui Sangzhou's father was not at home often, so he stayed with his uncle, and he received much guidance from his uncle.
In his heart, his uncle is no different from his father, and he respects his uncle very much.
Cui Shangzhou saluted Cui Shouze very respectfully.
Cui Shouze had no time to spend time with his nephew.
Before leaving, he said, "Xiao Qi, I heard that you often run to the palace recently.
My uncle is not at home, who have you been so close to recently?"
Cui Shangzhou said carelessly, "It's nothing."
"You're still coaxing me.
I heard some rumors."
Cui Shouze didn't reveal Cui Shangzhou's recent inquiries about the crown prince.
He said seriously: "Xiao Qi, I think you have always been very calm and experienced in doing things.
But I I see you’ve been a little restless lately.
Let’s have a nice chat sometime.”
Cui Shangzhou still had a solemn expression on his face and said, "Okay, let me follow uncle's arrangements."
Cui Shouze nodded and said, "I'm busy these days, let's talk about it after the princess's birthday.
I'm leaving first."
Cui Shangzhou sent his uncle all the way out of the house.
He didn't turn back until Cui Shouze got on his horse.
Mrs.
Cui was discussing things with her second daughter-in-law, and was a little surprised to see Cui Shangzhou.
"Hey, Xiao Qi, why is it so early today?"
Cui Shangzhou bowed politely.
Mrs.
Cui asked: "Where is your mother?"
Cui Shangzhou replied: "Mom is at home.
My nephew has something to come over and wants to ask my aunt for advice."
Mrs.
Cui was quite surprised and said: "It's really rare.
Tell me what you need."
Cui Shangzhou glanced at the second sister-in-law next to him and hesitated to speak.
His second sister-in-law was a smart person and she immediately figured out the clue.
She smiled and said to the eldest lady, "Mom, I'll come back later."
Mrs.
Cui glanced at Cui Shangzhou in surprise and nodded silently.
After his second sister-in-law left, Mrs.
Cui said seriously: "Xiao Qi, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly."
"My nephew wants to ask my aunt about something."
Cui Shangzhou stayed at Mrs.
Cui's place for a full hour before coming out.
He turned around and went to the newly purchased house of the Lei family in Bianliang, without even returning to his own yard.
Cui Shangzhou was busy for two days in a row, and his home became his place to stay when sleeping at night.

He could not speak five words to Min in one day.
Mrs.
Min was very angry about this and hurriedly discussed with Mrs.
Cui: "We'd better find a time to discuss with the Li family and decide on the wedding date as soon as possible.
Shang'er is like a horse without a bridle now.
He's in the house all day long.
Outside.
I won’t go back even if I have a home.”
Mrs.
Cui said: "Xiaoqi is almost twenty-six here.
Other people's sons at his age are much older.
It's long past time to get married and have children.
Look, after these days we'll post a message for Mrs.
Li." ” Mrs.
Min nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to my sister-in-law."
Mrs.
Cui thought for a moment and then said to Min: "Two days ago, Xiao Qi suddenly came to me to ask about the princess.
She asked about many aspects.
Is Xiao Qi helping someone?"
Min was puzzled: "When I was in Bianliang, I could call Shang'er out with just one sentence.
Now that he has gone to the military camp, no one should tell him what to do.
But that's not right.
If nothing happens, why does he do it all day long?
If he doesn’t go home and can’t even see anyone, could it be that the princess is asking him to investigate something?”
Mrs.
Cui also knew about this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Did the princess have doubts about the death of the princess and asked Xiao Qi to help investigate?"
Mrs.
Min had never heard her son mention this matter to her, but since what she said that night, her son came to ask her sister-in-law for confirmation the next day.
It seemed that it was all about this matter.
"Although our Cui family is working in the palace, this matter has been going on for more than 20 years, and no one knows what happened back then.
If Shang'er goes to investigate again, will he offend anyone?"
Min thought to herself if it was true.
What the concubine did, wouldn't her son be in danger?
She looked at Mrs.
Cui in fear and said anxiously: "Is Shang'er in danger?"
Seeing her sister-in-law's uneasiness, Mrs.
Cui hurriedly comforted her: "That's not it.
Sister-in-law, if you are worried, wait until his uncle comes back, and I will ask his uncle to persuade Xiao Qi.
This muddy water cannot be left easily. drip."
Mrs.
Min nodded quickly and said, "Sister-in-law is right."
Cui Shangzhou came back very late that day.
He expected that his mother had already fallen asleep and did not dare to disturb her anymore.
He ordered someone to boil water and planned to take a bath and go to bed.
Unexpectedly, not long after arriving home, the maid next to Min came over and said to Cui Shangzhou: "Madam, please ask Master Qi to come over."

"Mom hasn't fallen asleep yet" "My wife has been waiting for Master Qi to come back.
But my wife is in a bad mood, so Master Qi should be careful."
Cui Sangzhou knew it well.
He turned around and went to the house where Min lived.
Sure enough, the room was brightly lit, and Mrs.
Min was sitting on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes in front of the candlelight.
Cui Shangzhou came in and saw this scene.
He felt a little sad and said softly: "My mother's eyesight is not good, why are you bothering like this?"
"Humph, you still know how to care about people."
Cui Shangzhou said: "I don't feel sorry for my mother.
Who cares about me?
Don't we have maids to do these jobs?
Besides, we don't necessarily have to do them at night."
Cui Shangzhou stepped forward and took off her mother's needlework.
Mrs.
Min pointed to the opposite side of the kang table and asked Cui Shangzhou to sit down.
Then he said with concern: "My son, you have been running outside all day, so you are still hungry.
Can the kitchen prepare you anything?"
Cui Shangzhou hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Mom, I'm not hungry.
I came back from eating at Huixian Tower."
"Going to Huixian Tower?"
Min sniffed Cui Shangzhou's clothes vigorously, but there was no smell of alcohol.
Cui Shangzhou smiled and said, "My son has already changed his clothes when he comes back.
But don't worry, mother, I only had two drinks, so I'm not drunk at all."
Mrs.
Min then raised her eyebrows and said seriously: "I called you over so late because I have something to tell you."
Cui Sangzhou looked like he was all ears.
When Mrs.
Min saw her son's respectful attitude, she felt less annoyed and her tone became lighter.
"Shang'er, tell your mother what you have been busy with recently."
Cui Shangzhou knew that there were some things that he couldn't hide from his mother.
He looked at his mother's anxious face and said as lightly as possible: "I have been asked to help with some things.
But it will be done soon.
It will be easy to wait for a few days.
Arrive.
It will be a good time to come back and accompany my mother.”
Mrs.
Min hurriedly asked: "Are you looking into the affairs of the then princess?"
Cui Shangzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought that nothing could be hidden from his mother.
He pondered for a moment before replying: "Since mother knows, there is no need for me to explain it in detail."
"As expected, what did you find out?"
Cui Shangzhou frowned and said, "The truth is just a little bit away from being revealed."
Min couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is it what I thought?"
Cui Shangzhou remained silent.

Min slapped the table and exclaimed: "Sure enough, your aunt and I were right.
I didn't expect that she would be such a person."
Min looked a little excited.
Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said: "Mother, some aspects have not been verified, and there are still doubts.
It is still too early to draw conclusions.
Maybe the truth is another matter.
Don't get excited yet."
Mrs.
Min felt that she was a little excited.
She almost forgot the real purpose of calling her son here.
She put away her excitement and said seriously: "Your aunt and I told you that it was all a pool of muddy water.
Where are those people from back then?"
No matter what the outcome is, we are all worried about you getting trapped and worried about your safety."
Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said: "The truth will be revealed soon.
I am safe.
Mother, don't worry."
Min sighed and said: "Your uncle is a long history officer in the palace.
You have been very close to the siblings since you were a child.
You and Uncle Mu are like brothers.
It doesn't matter.
They entrusted you with such an important matter.
I also trust you until this matter comes to an end.
You should also think about your life carefully.
Your father is not at home here.
I have discussed it with your aunt and decided to invite Mrs.
Li to come over after the princess's birthday to formally discuss the wedding date and set the date as soon as possible.
I’m too old to delay it any longer.”
Cui Shangzhou said hurriedly: "If mother doesn't mention this matter, my son plans to discuss it with you."
Mrs.
Min was overjoyed and thought that her son was finally on the road.
She smiled happily and said, "It's rare for you to think of it on your own initiative.
Well, I'll find someone tomorrow to figure out what good days this year will bring.
I hope that by the end of the year, my fifteenth mother will be pregnant with our Cui."
The children of the family.”
When Cui Shangzhou saw his mother so happy, he suddenly felt that he was so selfish and cruel.
What he wanted to say was completely different from what his mother was thinking.
She was in high spirits, so how could she bear it when he poured cold water on her.
But no matter how cruel he said it, he had to say it out loud.
He didn't want to regret it until it was irreversible, nor did he want Fifteenth Mother to be wronged for the rest of her life.
"Mother, what my son wants to say is" Cui Shangzhou swallowed.
He did not dare to look into Min's eyes again.
He lowered his head and looked at the shadow of his mother on the ground.
He said in a daze: "Mother, this marriage should be withdrawn."
Alright" "What did you say?"
Min was shocked and angry.

Cui Sangzhou knew that he had said the words and could not take them back.
He knelt down in front of Mrs.
Min and said sincerely: "Mother, this is my son's wish, please mother."
Mrs.
Min was trembling with anger, pointed her finger at her son, and said angrily: "It's now, what do you mean by these things?
Xiao Ding has already made up his mind.
You said you want to cancel the engagement.
Don't forget that this is the matchmaker of the concubine.
You are doing this."
Her face, how do you want our Cui family to enter and leave the palace in the future?"
Cui Shangzhou said: "This marriage was originally arranged by the concubine, and my mother and uncle nodded.
You never asked me if I liked it, so you just made it happen."
Mrs.
Min reached out and slapped Cui Shangzhou, and said angrily: "You still said that we didn't ask you what you meant.
When I asked you if you were okay, you also said something against it.
Now you are resentful that we didn't ask you what you meant. .I ask you, what do you want?”
"Withdraw from this marriage" "It's now impossible.
Do you want to bring shame to the fifteenth mother?
It's such a bad luck for a good and innocent girl to meet someone like you."
"My son just didn't want her to suffer in the future, so he made this decision.
He didn't like her, so he forced her to marry her and keep her at home.
This is what shames her.
If she leaves me, she can marry more suitable What's wrong with her people?"
Ms.
Min didn't want to hear her son's excuses anymore, so she stamped her feet and said, "Get out of here."
Cui Shangzhou kowtowed to Mr.
Min and did not dare to look at Mr.
Min again.
He lowered his head and left.
After her son left, Ms.
Min couldn't help but burst into tears.
She has raised a good son, but now that he is older, he dares to disobey her, which is extremely unfilial:
