Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Has My Shrewd Son Started Suspecting Me?

Have you heard? The biggest talk at the beginning of the twenty-third year of Shengping is not that someone gets beheaded at the Meridian Gate every day, but a secret from the Imperial Palace.

It’s said that the Prince Min currently recuperating in the palace, no, the Commandery Prince Min, is not the true prince but an impostor, the heir of the late Crown Prince Xia, named Xia Houzhe.

Where is the real one?

The real one has, of course, been brought back to the palace.

Ahem.

Song Ci was shocked, looking at Song Zhiyuan, not quite believing, "Really?"

She cautiously asked.

Song Zhiyuan nodded.

Song Ci took another sip of tea to calm herself, so the old lady from before, what she said in that dream about Prince Min being fake was true here; she was telling her that this so-called Prince Min, Xia Houzhe, was an impostor?

Then here’s the question, how did she know?

Did she know it now, or did she know it somewhere in advance, otherwise how could she be so accurate and even ask to protect the Song Mansion?

Couldn’t figure it out.

Song Ci felt a bit nauseous; at critical times, her mind couldn’t function. Wouldn’t it be great if she were in a young girl’s body? At least her mind wouldn’t be so dull.

Wait, there’s this clichéd time travel, what about reincarnation?

Could it be that the old lady was reincarnated, just her luck being worse than in the previous life?

"Mother?"

Song Ci snapped back to reality, saying, "Huh?"

"What’s wrong with you, what were you so absorbed in thinking about?"

Song Ci tugged at her mouth, saying, "Nothing, just thought this matter is quite dramatic, a bit unreal."

Song Zhiyuan said, "Why is it unreal, it was actually you who inadvertently reminded me, saying Xia Houzhe might be an impostor; otherwise, the Emperor and I couldn’t have analyzed it so quickly and verified it."

"I reminded? When, I don’t recall?"

Song Zhiyuan smiled faintly, "Just when we were chatting last time, you just mentioned it casually."

Song Ci thought for a moment, shook her head, "I can’t remember. But this really is an impostor, and Princess Consort Ji, the mother, couldn’t recognize it all these years? Is she still his real mother?"

"Xia’s former subordinates have mingled with many extraordinary people from the Green Forest, using disguises with medicine since childhood to cover it up, their behavior and conduct, all premeditated, and since he rarely interacted with Princess Consort Ji under the pretext of focusing on studies, they managed to keep it hidden over the years."

Song Ci thought to herself, that is a bit far-fetched.

"These former subordinates, doing big things with such patience, plotting so early, what kind of brains do they have. Might they not be the second coming of Zhuge?"

Song Zhiyuan thought of Cabinet Minister Ning, saying, "Ning is a person full of strategy and intelligence, it’s a pity the one he raised dragged him down."

"That’s called evil cannot triumph over good," Song Ci said, "It shows that people should maintain benevolence, for Heaven will arrange accordingly. If one harbors evil thoughts, no matter how meticulous the scheme, a slight nudge from fate can turn the entire situation from a living game to a dead end." It’s just unfortunately quite tragic.

Song Zhiyuan said with deep meaning, "What you said, mother, is true, you inadvertently managed to hit the mark, just like holding solid evidence, making us avoid many detours."

Song Ci’s heart skipped a beat, did her clever son suspect her?

"You also said it was accidental, just speaking recklessly out of a feeling; how could an old lady like me, who’s almost at death’s door, have such great abilities and hold conclusive evidence to say such words? I’m no almighty immortal."

Song Zhiyuan, unable to hear such inauspicious words, quickly joked, "In my eyes, you are an almighty immortal, please don’t speak such inauspicious words."

Blame me, all because of your charisma.
