Chapter 301 The reason why the old man fell ill
Xiahou En touched her little daughter's head with heartache. She had always loved this little girl who lost her father at a young age.
Although her youngest daughter was naughty and often went against her when she was a child, she is quite relieved now that she has grown up and become sensible.
"My daughter is fine. She has good food and accommodation at the border. My sisters are all very kind to her."
Xiahou Zhen didn't want to make Weiyuan Hou worry, so he could only say something good.
Xiahou En was not someone who had never been to the battlefield before, and he had some understanding of what was happening on the border battlefield.
Knowing that her daughter was just saying these words to comfort her, she did not reject her kindness.
Seeing that his mother no longer asked about the border affairs, Xiahou Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject at the right time.
"Mom, how is Grandpa now? What did the doctor say?"
Weiyuan Hou raised his eyebrows: "You know everything?"
Xiahou Zhen nodded: "The housekeeper has told my daughter."
Hearing this, Xiahou En looked worried and sighed.
"The doctor said that the old man was so angry that his blood flowed backwards, causing him to faint."
"The old man is old too. He had a chronic illness when he was young and had heavy bleeding during childbirth. Although he survived, his health is getting worse day by day. Your mother and I have asked people to take good care of him. Now that your uncle and his family have made such a fuss, his old illness has recurred. The doctor said he doesn't have much time left."
Seeing this, Xiahou Zhen couldn't help but comfort him: "Mom, life and death are determined by fate. You have done your best."
To be honest, she didn't like her grandfather, because although he gave birth to her mother, he favored her second aunt and her uncle.
All the good things were given to them, and even though everything he enjoyed now was provided by his mother, grandpa's heart was still biased towards others.
Whenever something happened to my second aunt and her family, they would come to my mother. My grandfather would move all the good things in the house to my second aunt.
Sometimes she even doubted whether her mother was his daughter?
Otherwise, they are both biological children, so why are they treated so badly? Thinking of the bad things in the past, Xiahou Zhen shook his head and stopped thinking about them. He felt upset when he thought about them.
Xiahou Zhen asked other questions: "By the way, mother, what happened to my cousin and his family? The housekeeper didn't explain in detail. What exactly happened?"
Hearing this, Xiahou En's face darkened slightly, his expression became complicated, and he spoke slowly.
"Hazel, you just came back and don't know what happened in the capital. This matter has to start from the day when Prince Beichen returned to the capital..."
Xiahou En told his daughter in detail how Prince Beichen tried to snatch the bride after returning to the capital and how he caused trouble in the imperial study.
After hearing what his mother said, Xiahou Zhen was very surprised.
"Mother, the King of Beichen treats His Majesty like this? Isn't His Majesty angry?"
She remembered that His Majesty's temper was not that good, right?
Being forced like this, yet you still tolerate it?
Is this still the Majesty she knows?
Is King Beichen so powerful?
Xiahou En glanced at her and said, "Do you think His Majesty is willing to tolerate this? His Majesty is afraid."
"afraid?"
Xiahou Zhen was even more confused: "Her Majesty is the empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the most respected of all saints. Would she be afraid of a vassal king?"
"Mother, who exactly is this King Beichen? I remember that there are only four princes of the royal family alive today, and the other one is the opposite-sex king Dingbei. Where did this King Beichen come from?"
Seeing that his daughter was interested, Xiahou En decided to do it.
It’s better to tell her, otherwise one day you might offend someone without realizing the seriousness of the situation.
So, he replied in a deep voice: "This Beichen Queen is the adopted daughter of the late emperor. When she was two years old, she followed the imperial teacher back to the palace to visit Your Majesty. I don't know what the imperial teacher said, but Your Majesty liked the young Di Ran very much and adopted her as his adopted daughter."
"Afterwards, Prince Zhan also took a fancy to Di Ran and intended to marry her, so he discussed it with the late emperor. In the end, the late emperor made the decision and issued an edict to grant the marriage. He was also afraid that Prince Zhan's son would be wronged by marrying a commoner, so he made Di Ran a king and named him Beichen."
