Chapter 45 Royal Relations
Mother Liu said: "Not yet, they are all living in a side courtyard, and it looks like they are going to leave soon."

Han Yi nodded: "Well, I see."

Then Han Yi asked Hua'er Qin'er to take Liuli down, while he went to the side courtyard.

Song Ge and the others were sorting out the troops, and it seemed that they were indeed preparing to leave for Dingyang County as Mother Liu said.

"Miss Han, why are you here? But what's the matter?" Song Qicheng saw Han Yi with sharp eyes, and asked with surprise on his face.

When Song Ge heard it, he quickly raised his head, nodded and smiled at Han Yi: "Miss Han."

Han Yi smiled at Song Qicheng, and explained his future intentions: "Second leader Song, I didn't go out often before, and I don't know much about the outside world. In addition, I was ill for a while, probably because of the sequelae. So I forgot a lot of things. Now that I came to the capital, I can be regarded as living at the feet of the emperor. I can no longer ignore the world affairs like before. Therefore, I want to know something about what happened in the court in recent years, so that I won’t lose sight of it To smear, to say something that shouldn’t be said, to offend people who shouldn’t be offended.”

Song Ge was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Miss Han would take the initiative to inquire about these things.

"Miss Han, we escorts spend most of our time walking in the rivers and lakes, and we really don't know much about the affairs of the court. However, if you want to hear, I will tell you what I know, but all These are rumors from the streets and alleys, but I don’t know if they are credible.”

Han Yi nodded and said with a smile, "All ears."

Song Ge thought for a while, probably organizing his words, while Han Yi waited patiently.

"It was only two years since the first emperor ascended the throne, but he was murdered by traitors. He drove westward, and everyone in the world was in an uproar. The first emperor had many heirs, and he had already established a prince when he ascended the throne. Logically, the prince should succeed to the throne logically. , but the Donglin Rebellion that shocked the world happened. It is said that the eldest princess brought back 30 troops from the border with the last emperor's edict, supported the current emperor to succeed in enthroning, and wiped out all the rebels in one fell swoop, beheaded the king of Donglin .”

Han Yi was a little depressed. She had just learned this information, but she didn't expect to hear it a second time.

She thought for a while and said, "Well, I have a lot of questions, please ask Master Song Er to answer them."

Song Erdang nodded: "Miss Han, please tell me."

"What is the relationship between King Donglin and the current emperor?"

"King Donglin is the third son of Taizu, and is the uncle of the current emperor. He once fought with Taizu on the battlefield like the previous emperor, and won the world for Taizu."

Han Yi nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Then...does the current Emperor have any brothers and sisters?"

Song Ge replied: "The former emperor had many heirs, but everyone in the world knows that apart from the emperor, there are King An, King Cheng, Princess Jinhua is also the eldest princess, and King Qi. King An is the late king. The Crown Princess was born, King Cheng was born to Princess Chen, and Princess Jinhua was born to the Empress Dowager, who is the younger sister of the current Emperor."

"Where's King Qi?" Han Yi asked.

Song Ge was silent for a while, and said hesitantly: "King Qi's biological mother is unknown to outsiders, and she was not posthumously named a concubine after the emperor's death, so--there are folk rumors that King Qi's biological mother was just an accidental accident by the former emperor. Lin Xing's court lady has a low status, so in order not to tarnish the royal family's reputation, she was given death after giving birth to Queen Qi, so she lost her title."

Han Yi couldn't help sighing a little: "The terrible feudal system... This King Qi is quite pitiful. He lost his mother when he was born, and he probably didn't have a good childhood."

Song Ge nodded in agreement: "The fiefdoms of King An and King Ning are both in rich lands, but King Qi's fiefdom is in a bitter and cold borderland. He has been guarding the border for the court since he was 11 years old, fighting against barbarians on the battlefield. According to his fief Qi Ye Mansion."

Han Yi sighed softly, and mourned the cruelty of the royal family in his heart. They all said that the royal family had no relatives. I can't even see my own heart.

If it is true according to folklore, then King Qi is probably a stalker in the heart of the first emperor. Such a child, who grew up in the cruel royal family, must have endured many things that ordinary people cannot bear, so his mind must be terribly firm.

Han Yi asked again: "What is the relationship between Wang An, Cheng Wang, Qi Wang and the current emperor?"

Song Ge glanced at Han Yi nervously, and lowered his voice: "Miss Han, there are some things that should not be said indiscriminately. Although the situation in the world is stable now, everyone is saying that the emperor's health is getting worse, maybe... so Mingli There should be a lot of people watching in secret, we ordinary people who have no power and power can't make a disaster of talking."

When Han Yi saw Song Ge say this, her body tensed up, and she lowered her voice and asked, "I'll just ask casually, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

This time, Song Ge shook his head, showing helplessness: "Miss Han, I've said almost everything I know, and I don't know much more. Those are all court affairs, and we can't care about them."

Han Yi couldn't, so she didn't ask any further. She already knew a lot of information today, and she still needs to digest it carefully to clarify the context of this world as much as possible. It is a very wonderful thing, and it is inevitable that we will not live in a simple and peaceful way, so we must learn more about this world and adapt to life here, so that we can calmly deal with changes when changes occur.

So she didn't continue this topic, and said with a smile: "Are you planning to leave now? I was planning to treat you to dinner."

Song Erdang declined with a smile and said: "Miss Han is really polite. We have not taken good care of us along the way, and we are very ashamed. Fortunately, we finally arrived in the capital safely. Otherwise, we will die. Miss Han spent money?"

Han Yi shook her head in disapproval, and said seriously: "Without your desperate protection along the way, I would not have been able to make it to the capital alive. I am extremely grateful to the second master, Young Master Song and all the escorts. So I have to invite this meal, and the second master should not refuse any more."

Song Ge's eyes were hot, and his heart was full of gratitude. He has traveled all his life and understood how precious such friendship is, which shows that Han Yi has a pure heart.

Song Qicheng looked very relaxed and happy: "Thank you Miss Han."

Han Yi looked at him with a smile, and slowly said: "You are so cute, why don't you recognize me as a sister."
