Chapter 849 She Seems to Have Caught Something
The Huo family themselves had not expected that the cause of the death of nearly twenty sons would be so strange, and there were even eyewitnesses after so many years.
After meeting the white-haired eyewitness, he actually said that there was another woman at the time. According to the description, the woman was very similar to Concubine Shu.
Back then, Huo Yuanpei and Yunying's unmarried Concubine Shu met at a lantern festival and developed feelings for each other, but the two behaved with propriety and did not cause any scandal.
The Huo family also came from a military background, and was a good match for the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. But who knew that the emperor would intervene, and the Huo family's legitimate daughter entered the palace and became a concubine.
The parents of both families only knew the truth about it, but had not gone through any marriage procedures. They were quite open and there was nothing shameful about it.
But not long after, Huo Yuanpei jumped into the moat.
The Huo family thought that he was like this because he couldn't figure it out at the moment, so who could they blame?
He had nothing to do with the eldest daughter of the Xu family. She just entered the palace as a concubine. What did it have to do with him?
Blame the emperor for taking away his beloved? They don't have the guts to do that.
After thinking it over, the Huo family could only blame themselves for their bad luck and Huo Yuanpei himself for his short life.
As time passed, the eldest daughter of the Xu family became the most favored concubine in the palace. She was the number one person besides the emperor and the empress dowager, and was in the limelight. The Huo family gradually came out of their sorrow.
But, someone suddenly said that he saw the incident that year, and witnessed the cause of the Huo family's son's crime with his own eyes, and finally involved the current Shu Guifei...
How could the Huo family sit still?
The Huo family attached great importance to Huo Yuanpei's death anniversary this year and invited Taoist priests to perform rituals and monks to chant sutras to comfort the living and appease the dead.
The second wife of the Huo family could no longer suppress her longing for her son and wanted to ask Concubine Shu for clarification. Otherwise, how could she be willing to live the rest of her life in confusion?
So, Qiu submitted a letter to the palace, and she met Concubine Shu as she wished.
"Where is this person?"
After listening to Qiu's questioning, Concubine Shu did not answer yes or no. Instead, she was very curious about this person who had been away from Beijing for nearly 20 years and who immediately went to the Huo Mansion to tell the Huo family the truth after returning to Beijing.
"Please forgive me for not being able to speak for the moment."
Qiu was determined to get to the bottom of it, so she was not afraid of the identity of Concubine Shu: "Please answer my question, Your Majesty."
Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Concubine Shu just looked at her in silence and did not force her.
then……
Concubine Shu recalled the past and she did see Huo Yuanpei on the day he jumped into the river.
At that time, she had been in the palace for more than three months.
Emperor Suwen was very interested in her and she was very favored, so he took her with him on his incognito visit that day. Because of a fight on the street, she and Emperor Suwen were separated.
Then, she met Huo Yuanpei.
Huo Yuanpei had no intention of committing suicide at that time. After seeing her, he politely bowed. No matter how much they talked, it was unreasonable. She was anxious to find Emperor Suwen, but not long after returning to the palace, the Xu family sent news to the palace that Huo Yuanpei had jumped into the moat and disappeared.
The Xu family's original intention was to let her stop worrying about a dead person, but she thought that Huo Yuanpei had the intention of committing suicide after seeing her.
Over the years, she would think of Huo Yuanpei every night, and she always felt guilty and hated Emperor Su Wen.
He has appeared in dreams recently, and the Huo family has begun to pay attention to his death anniversary. His name is on the dragon case of Emperor Su Wen...
Concubine Shu looked at Qiu again. She seemed to have grasped something, but it also seemed that she had not grasped it.
Okay, did you find it?
