Chapter 950: Chapter 949: Just a Common Girl?

"I temporarily..." Fu Long’s gaze, still subconsciously sought out Feng Dingchu.

At last, he whispered, "I have not yet found any definitive news..."

"I’ll take a walk."

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Feng Dingchu’s white-clad figure had vanished without a trace.

Fu Long was left staring, dumbfounded.

The legendary Wu Chenzi, the War God of the Ninth Prince, his qinggong, was that magical?

"Did I... offend him?" However, to describe the Ninth Prince, beautiful as a flower, with the term "elder" seemed somewhat excessive.

He’s only in his early thirties!

Moreover, he looks to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six.

"Is Uncle Nine angry?" Fu Long was still somewhat uneasy.

"No, he doesn’t care about these things," Chu Qianli dismissed it carelessly, "He just thought you might be inconvenienced by speaking freely, so he gave you some space."

"You do understand him."

"After spending some time together, one tends to understand a bit, he has now completely lost heart in the Imperial Family, of course, he also does not want to get involved in any business of the Imperial Family."

But it was good that he went for a walk, at least Fu Long could speak his mind.

Fu Long fell silent for a moment before saying, "The identity of Consort Rong is somewhat suspicious."

"Could it be that she’s some Princess from another country or something?"

"That’s not it." Fu Long shook his head, "However, a woman from a mere commoner’s family shouldn’t be like this."

"What do you mean?"

"Consort Rong is a commoner girl that the respect-empowering Emperor had brought back from outside; the Emperor is said to have fallen in love with her at first sight and thus brought her back to the palace, but she is different from the other consorts. After entering the palace, she has always stayed in the Ronghua Hall and hasn’t had any contact with any other consort."

"The Empress was originally a consort when the respect-empowering Emperor was Prince, and she became the Empress after he ascended the throne. By rights, in the Harem, she should be all-powerful, but even she can’t interfere with Ronghua Hall."

"A commoner woman, so powerful?" Indeed, her favor in the Harem was not without reason.

"Probably at that time, the Emperor really loved Consort Rong deeply," Chu Qianli said somewhat emotionally.

What did it matter if he loved her deeply? She wasn’t the only one, not even the first, and she didn’t care for such status.

"The Emperor initially really liked Consort Rong very much, it is said that because of her, he had a big row with the Empress Dowager, but later on, the Empress Dowager compromised."

It has been so many years since the event, it was now very difficult for Fu Long to get clear details.

"However, one thing is certain, not long after Consort Rong gave birth to Prince Xuan, the Empress Dowager once... ordered someone to make an attempt on her life."

"Just a mere consort, why would the Empress Dowager be so persistent?" Chu Qianli really couldn’t understand.

"Moreover, as far as I know, after the respect-empowering Emperor became the Emperor, he governed diligently and was not blinded by any beauty."

That is to say, he wasn’t distracted from state affairs because of Consort Rong.

So, as the Empress Dowager, seeing her son so fond of a consort, she might as well turn a blind eye.

As long as it didn’t interfere with state governance or harm Jiangshan, what’s the harm in sparing her life?

Why make relations with your son so discordant over a woman?

"This is the biggest mystery, so I feel that Consort Rong’s identity is not simple. Maybe the Empress Dowager knew something, had a reason that compelled her to want Consort Rong dead."

But these mysteries were something he could not unravel for the time being.

Just looking into the Empress Dowager’s treatment of Consort Rong had taken him a long time.

Fu Long looked at Chu Qianli: "If we want to understand the motives behind Prince Xuan, I’m afraid, we might have to start with Consort Rong’s background."
