Chapter 617

After discussing the matters related to the prison affairs and Anxin and others, Ye Luqing, who was supposed to return to the palace, did follow Ji Liuli back to the West Palace.

###已是入夜九时, the candles in the West Palace are still as bright as day.

Earlier, Ji Liuli and Ye Luqing had already finished dinner, and they were still sitting at the dining table at the moment.

Qing Ji finished cleaning up the dining table with a rather weird atmosphere and quietly retreated.

And in the time of incense after Qing Yuan left the hall, Ji Liuli and Ye Luqing were so relatively speechless You look at me, I look at you.

To say that Ye Luqing is also a person who is used to seeing bloody storms, but he was only stared at by Ji Liuli's indifferent gaze.

"Alright, I surrender. Ye Luqing announced that he would admit defeat. "Say whatever you want, and if you continue to be silent like this, the sky will be dawn. ”

Ji Liuli was no longer silent and opened her mouth. "What I'm talking about next is a secret that the monarch has hidden for more than ten years. ”

"Oh?" Ye Luqing raised his brow in surprise, but he was not curious about the secret, but concerned about something else. "Since it's been hidden for more than ten years, why do you want to mention it again?"

"Isn't that what I was about to say, don't interrupt. Ji Liuli glared at Ye Luqing again when she said this, worried that he would open his mouth again and warn Ye Luqing in advance. "Shut up and listen to me until I give you permission to speak!"

Ye Luqing looked at Ji Liuli, who was so strong, and knew that if she spoke casually, she would definitely annoy Ji Liuli.

So, Ye Luqing nodded and promised not to interrupt again.

"Then I'll start talking. Ji Liuli took a deep breath and first talked about Shangguan Sirui. "Shangguan Gongzi...... Shangguan Sirui has hated the Donglin royal family for so many years, and I personally confirmed it from Shangguan Sirui some time ago.

Worried that Shangguan Sirui would be unfavorable to you, the monarch, Cang or Yaya again, I asked about Yuanfeng's destruction of the country by the way.

Originally, I thought that it would be nice if there was something unknown that could change Shangguan Sirui's perception of the past.

But he didn't expect to hear the real reason why the monarch sent someone to destroy the Shangguan family, and at the same time knew a secret about the fall of the Yuanfeng Kingdom and the founding of the Donglin Kingdom.

As we all know, the Yuanfeng monarch was ...... by the monarch Oops, that's a bit of a mess, I'll just say the name.

As we all know, it was Yelude, who attempted to rebel, who poisoned Yuan Shaokang, and it was Yelude who sent people to kill Shangguan Sirui's father, Shangguan Jinhe, and all Yuanfeng's imperial relatives.

In fact, this is not the case at all.

The real rebels were Shangguan Jinhe and those princes and princesses, and Yelude only had to bear such a stigma.

At that time, Yuan Shaokang received a secret report from his cronies, saying that Shangguan Jinhe was deeply involved with the second prince Yuan Jinke, the fourth prince Yuan Jinyi, and the seventh prince Yuan Jinqiong.

In addition, there was also evidence in the secret report that some ministers and the imperial heirs had formed a party for personal gain and conspired to rebel.

Ironically, the names of Yuan Shaokang's ten sons and daughters are all on that secret letter.

Yuan Shaokang was disappointed in everyone, and he knew that his life was short, so he summoned one of his most trusted people late at night...... Jerod.

Yuan Shaokang intended to hand over Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li to Yeluqing, that is, he wanted Yelude to take over the throne.

Such a critical order, Jerod naturally disagreed at first.

But when he knew the fact that all of Yuan Shaokang's children were trying to rebel, Yelud could only take Yuan Shaokang's order to 'destroy Yuanfeng and establish a new east'.

A few days after receiving this order, Yuan Shaokang died, leaving behind a decree appointing Yerod as the new emperor.

This decree was unexpected, and therefore no one believed in the authenticity of the decree.

In this way, Yerod was charged with murdering Yuan Shaokang and began to purge those traitorous ministers and imperial heirs.

Shangguan Sirui's hatred of the Donglin royal family also arose because of this, because Shangguan Sirui witnessed the scene of Yingwei killing Shangguan Jinhe.

And the assassination of your mother, Jerod...... Let's change my words back to the monarch.

The monarch knows that your mother concubine has been framed, and he also knows that the culprit of the whole thing is peace of mind.

But he can't follow up on the matter.

If it is traced, it can indeed punish Anxin, but it cannot uproot the entire An family.

In the years after your mother's death, Donglin was at a time of internal and external troubles, but fortunately, three generals of the An family withstood the enemy offensive from abroad.

Because of this, Anjia's position in Donglin is very important.

Once the An family is offended, the entire situation in the east will inevitably be affected.

As the king of a country, he naturally can't get justice for your mother at that time.

Also, the reason why I deliberately alienate you and abandon you is not that I don't really care about you.

It's because he loves you too much that he can't care about you.

You were young, and without the protection of your mother, you were just a newborn calf to be slaughtered.

In order to prevent you from becoming the target of peace of mind and others, the monarch has no choice but to ignore you.

As for the fact that you took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border to guard the customs......

Although he did not want you to go to the border to suffer, he also knew that Yeluzhi and Yeluk still regarded you as a thorn in their side at that time.

Instead of letting you live a life in the imperial city that you don't know when you will be assassinated, it is better for you to go to the border to guard the city.

Don't look at him who doesn't care about you on the surface, but he knows everything about you.

When he heard the shadow guard report that you were extremely insulted by Yeluzhi and Yeluke, he cried in distress.

He smiled proudly when he knew that you cheered up and started practicing martial arts hard.

Including the fact that you founded Qianhuang, he didn't miss it.

It is precisely because he believes that you will not give up the desire to survive no matter what difficulties and dangers you encounter, that he agreed to your request to go to the border to guard the customs.

I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're back, and he's so happy.

He knew that you still hated him because of the death of your mother, and in order to make up for the debt that he had ignored you for so many years, he made the holy decree to canonize you as the crown prince.

He thinks you're so young that you don't have to fear anyone.

It's just that you are not interested in the throne, which gives him a lot of headaches.

To be honest, he cares about you very much, really cares about you, and cares enough to know all the situations around you, including my existence, and specially asked the shadow guard to check it.

When I showed up in his dormitory the other day, he revealed who I was, and seemed to know that I was pregnant.

I asked him if he could be completely convinced of a person by simply investigating him.

But he replied with a sentence that I still remember vividly...... 'I believe in you because you are the person you cherish.' ’”
