"I don't die! I don't die!"

"Hahahaha......"

In the silent night, I only heard the mournful and wild laughter of a woman, but it felt like a wild laugh from the depths of hell in the middle of the night, and I felt that Zhao Shuyuan's love was about to collapse, and if she didn't stop her, even she might not be able to bear the pain herself.

So, I made a color to Ah Lan and Su Su, and we hurriedly stepped forward to grab her.

"Shuyuan Niangniang," I looked at her and said, "you are sick, go back and rest." ”

As soon as her hand touched her, she felt that her whole body was hot, but her eyes were exceptionally bright under such a high fever, she looked back at me, suddenly grabbed my wrist, squeezed it hard, and then lowered her voice and said to me with an indescribable excitement: "You know, everyone thought that my son died in the Qingmei Courtyard. ”

“……”

"But no. ”

“……”

"I know no, my son didn't die, he was sent away by Yin Ruohua's slut!"

“……”

"That's because I know her secret!"

“……”

"Her secret...... Her secret, I knew her secret, so she sent my son away, and she took my son...... Sent away ......"

I just felt like my heart was about to stop, and when I opened my mouth, my voice was so hoarse that I almost didn't recognize myself, and slowly asked, "What's her secret?"

Zhao Shuyuan stared at me with a pair of bloodshot red eyes, and said word by word: "Prince, it's not her son!"

“……”

"She gave birth to a daughter!"

“……”

"She used her daughter to exchange a son with Nangong Jinhong!"

The moment I heard her tell Empress Yin's secret, my whole body was empty.

I don't know how to breathe, I can't feel my heartbeat, it seems that the blood in my whole body is frozen at this moment, and the whole person loses the perception of this moment.

It wasn't until her hand pinched my wrist hard, and there was a sharp pain in the wrist bone that was almost broken, that I woke up from that trance, I shook slightly, and then looked at Zhao Shuyuan's eyes, her gaze became chaotic after a moment of clarity, and even became a little crazy.

"I know her secret, but I don't want to know ......"

“……”

"I don't want to!"

“……”

"But why do this to me? Why do this to me!"

As she spoke, her feelings fell again, like a wronged child, with a cry in her voice.

I felt that she was completely out of control, and hurriedly beckoned Ah Lan and Su Su together, half-supported and half-carried her to the previous room, and when we walked into the room, as soon as we felt the breath in the room, she suddenly tensed up again, reached out and grabbed my wrist hard: "My child, where is my child?!"

My hand was pinched by her very painfully, so I could only grit my teeth and coax her as calmly as possible: "Shuyuan Niangniang, your child is not here with me." ”

"It's right here!"

She stared around with wide eyes, then at me again: "Don't try to lie to me, I remember, I remember, this is the temple!

“……！”

My heart sank again, but it was too late to say anything, and the three of us struggled to send her to the bedside, but she still refused to settle down, and kept struggling to sit up, trying to find something, we could only barely hold her hands and try to calm her down.

I don't know how long it tossed, she was old, tossed all the way, sick again, and finally lost her strength.

Lying on the bed panting, her originally excited eyes slowly became weak and dazed because of the lack of strength, and after a while, she began to cry again.

We slowly let go of her hand, she didn't struggle anymore, just covered her face with both hands, hot tears flowed from her fingers, wet her hair, pillow, looking at such an old person, crying helplessly, several of us were a little uncomfortable speechless.

Ah Lan snorted coldly: "What is this!"

In the eyes of people like her, it is to be happy with revenge, probably for people like them, it is difficult to imagine the intrigues and intrigues in the royal family that cannot see the light of day, and scheming people's hearts. For them, such a human tragedy is really more unacceptable than a real fight.

I sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Zhao Shuyuan's panting appearance, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing happens every day and every moment in the palace. ”

Alan was stunned when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at me.

I smiled faintly: "I've been in the palace for so many years, and I've seen too much." ”

"So, what have you been through?"

"Me?"

I turned my head, looked at her flickering gaze, was silent for a moment, and then said, "My first child was not in the palace. ”

“……”

"The child's father was there for me that night. ”

“……”

"But there is nothing we can do about it. ”

“……”

"In the palace, it's already difficult to protect yourself, and then you have to keep your children......"

Speaking of this, I smiled wryly.

Ah Lan looked at me, the original ridicule and coldness in her eyes seemed to be melted by the warmth in the room, and then slowly faded, she frowned slightly, reached out and pinched my shoulder: "Sister......"

And Su Su next to him was already in tears: "Miss, you have been wronged!"

Looking at them like this, obviously they have not experienced anything, but they are also like being pulled into my memory by my words - some things are fine not to mention, but if they are mentioned, they are invisible harm to themselves and others, and I hurriedly made a little smile: "It's all over, and I'm about to forget about it." ”

Saying this, I looked down at Zhao Shuyuan again, she had slowly fallen into a coma, but her mouth was still whimpering.

I told Susu, "Go get some water and wipe it for her." ”

"Hey. ”

Su Su wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and ran out, I looked up at Ah Lan again, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and then said, "So, this is the secret of that Pei Yuanxiu?"

“……”

"The reason why he wanted to kill that friend of yours and let people burn this Huangze Temple is to kill these people's mouths and keep that secret?"

I nodded calmly, "Yes." ”

"He's—"

"He is the crown prince, who was originally chosen as the heir to the dynasty, and was supposed to inherit the throne. ”

Ah Lan frowned: "The person who should inherit the Great Unification is not the royal bloodline. ”

"yes. ”

Not only is he not of royal blood, but even-

He is not even the son of Empress Yin, nor is he the son of Yao Lao!

This realization made my whole body confused.

His life experience turned out to be so complicated, he originally thought that the illegitimate son of Empress Yin and Yao Lao was already the most unspeakable secret in this royal family, but he didn't expect that even this identity was only a superficial identity, and his real identity turned out to be the son of Nangong Jinhong.

Empress Yin exchanged her daughter for Nangong Jinhong's son!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In fact, in the harem, such things are not uncommon, in order to compete for favor, there are too many things about those concubines in the past dynasties to change their sons with women, and there are not still records in the ancient books about the raccoon cat changing the prince?

It's just that those are legends, they are all stories, and when something like this really happens in front of me, when the person in the story is by my side, it's still a little hard to accept.

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been praised by so many people and was promoted by the students of Jiangnan as an outstanding virtue, was not the emperor, or even the son of the queen!

And --

Nangong Lizhu.

When I think of this name again, I can't tell who the sourness in my heart came from and who I was born for.

This former number one beauty in the world should have been cared for by tens of millions of people in the palm of her hand, but she has gone through so many ups and downs, and until now, she has not found her home.

She is the real golden branch and jade leaf.

How ironic is that?

And now I understand why after Empress Yin went crazy, she would recognize Xue Muhua as her daughter, at that time, everyone thought it was strange, she obviously didn't have a daughter, but she could only be explained by her madness and delirium; now, the facts are very clear.

She really has a daughter.

And this daughter was changed by her to someone else since she was a child, and she didn't enjoy the maternal love she paid for a day, so she must let Nangong Lizhu marry Pei Yuanxiu, because at that time, Pei Yuanxiu was already the prince, and her daughter could be called the crown princess and the future queen, which was the best way she arranged for her daughter.

However, whether it is really the best or not, it seems that it is probably clear now.

As for Nangong Lizhu......

She is the daughter of Yao Lao and Empress Yin.

Yao Lao's daughter......

I suddenly had a spirit, and the whole person trembled, Ah Lan sat next to him, and was startled when he saw me like this: "What's wrong with you?"

I didn't speak, but my mind was already searching for the past scenes.

Pei Yuanhao said - when they were in distress in the Juma River Valley, he almost died of blood, and it was Nangong Lizhu who exchanged his life for his life!

Also, when Nangong Lizhu finally left Pei Yuanhao in Jixiandian, I saw his palm, that bloody wound!

Could it really be so!

Nangong Lizhu is the daughter of Yao Lao, and Yao Lao's physique is special, he once told me that his whole body and blood are elixir, so Nangong Lizhu, as his daughter, has also inherited such a physique!

Therefore, when the rebels were besieging us, at the most critical juncture, in the Jixian Palace, it was really Nangong Lizhu's blood that woke up Pei Yuanhao!
