Shen Xi finished speaking in one breath, his chest was still rising and falling.

She didn't see the scene when the young man was branded with her own eyes, she was a dignified Miss Jiao of the Zhang family, and the people in the palace naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing in front of her.

There are endless ways to punish subordinates in various mansions, and she is used to it, and she has never taken it to heart.

So much so that when she saw the boy for the last time in the palace a few months later, the scar on his hand did not impress her.

"Isn't the boy back then similar to Bi Shangyun?" Xiao Huai asked.

"When you are in your 10s and 60s, your face will still change a lot.

"Besides, I've only seen him three times in total, and he doesn't have anything particularly out of the ordinary, even if it's only been seven years, and I really don't immediately remember that it's him.

"But, in retrospect, there is no doubt that he was the 'distant relative' of the palace, because not only is the scar on his hand in the same place, but I have just seen that the gap in the painting is still there, and it has been repaired afterwards."

She didn't know what Bi Shangyun's intention was in keeping this painting, but there was so much evidence, and there was still this painting, she was sure that he was the child who was burned by Princess Cheng!

The room suddenly fell silent, Xiao Huai was holding his chin in contemplation, and Huo Yan was also contempling.

Shen Xi sat down next to a brocade pier next to him, only to find that this secret room was not underground, but a small ear room separated from it.

There are no windows, no roof, or rather, some stone slabs on top, and based on the pattern I just came over, it is likely that this is a secret place hidden in a rockery.

And against the wall there are two bookshelves, where many books are placed, and the rest have a bookcase and a set of tables.

"In this way, even if he is not the illegitimate son of Prince Cheng, he must be inseparable from Prince Cheng." Xiao Huai finally said.

"It's absolute." Shen Xi is sure of the authenticity.

In order to maintain the authenticity of the bloodline, even if they can take concubines, they cannot give birth to children, and Bi Shangyun's bloodline is not correct, so naturally he cannot be raised in the palace.

And the aunt who brought him into the palace back then, and later died in vain, is very likely to be his biological mother.

Prince Cheng's palace is very generous to his concubines, because the concubines who can often be concubines with pure blood are often very strong.

What's more, the side concubines did not marry back out of the love of the princes, some out of interests, some out of political considerations, and the children of the princess are already old, and they have all made achievements, so naturally the wives and concubines are quite harmonious.

But it would be different if Prince Cheng brought people from outside back, not to mention that he also raised illegitimate children.

The princess may be able to tolerate it, but the side concubines can't bear it.

These titles have already been decided, and the concubines will never be able to compete for their sons-in-law, but there are other interests to fight for, and the key to competing for these is the love of the husband.

This balance is suddenly broken by a woman from outside, and naturally some people will not be willing.

So the woman really shouldn't have entered the mansion at the beginning, no matter whether she was the child's biological mother or not, as long as the child became a prince, then she would be a thorn in the side of others.

And the woman's death also proves the unusual relationship between this child and Prince Cheng.

If his background in the palace wife and concubine was not blocked, then how could Princess Cheng make a big deal with a painting she painted?

"It seems that his bias should have been formed during the period when he lived in Prince Cheng's mansion." Xiao Huai said, "Anyone who is in his position and suffers some abuse will have some hatred, which is normal.

"It's just that fifty-one years ago he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and seeing how sophisticated he was, it seemed that he had planned early on.

"At such a young age, how could he think of destroying the country? And where did what he learned come from? ”

Shen Xi was also silent.

She had guessed that he had played such a big game of chess in order to take revenge on Prince Cheng's mansion, of course, this idea may still be correct, but it seems a little too ideal.

As Xiao Huai said, even if Bi Shangyun's life experience and what happened in his youth are in line with his motives, there is still no basis for a teenager to make up his mind to break the egg of the Prince's Mansion in a nesting way.

"I haven't seen him since that time, and I probably have, but I don't remember him. I don't know what happened to him afterwards. She said.

"Then we'll look and see if we find anything else." Xiao Huai said again.

"Don't forget that we're here to find his old bottom. Since he is sure that he has a hatred with Prince Cheng, then he has been planning for so many years, and there must be a lot of power behind him. ”

Shen Xi nodded, and then scattered around to look around.

But it's actually a study, and there's not much to it except for books and a few cabinets that look like things to hide.

When I found Shen Xi, I stopped.

"What's wrong again?" Huo Yan just walked up to her and picked up a large two-foot-tall enamel bottle and asked.

Shen Xi turned his head to look at him: "He has no children, it stands to reason that since the fall of Great Qin, or the day he sits on the high position of the Great Zhou Taifu, he will be considered to have achieved his long-cherished wish and become famous."

"Why did he keep so many dead soldiers under his command for so many years? What else is he plotting? ”

Xiao Huai and Huo Yan looked at it at the same time.

The appearance of her and Xu Jing one after another is a recent thing, and Bi Shangyun will never raise so many dead soldiers to prevent them.

Then he naturally raised these people for another purpose, but it was only because Shen Xi and Xu Jing suddenly appeared here that he couldn't help but send killers to kill them.

And judging from the people who have appeared in these few times, the number of people under him is not small, is he raising these people just to strengthen his courage?

“…… Master? Xiao Huai suddenly thought of this, "What he is plotting is not related to that young master?" ”

The last quarter moon hung faintly in the sky, and towards the end of the month, the moonlight was already dim.

The guards under the back wall of Bifu lurked in the night like cats, and the evening breeze blew gently, as gentle as a lover's hand.

Su Yan changed his white clothes today, wearing black clothes and hiding in the shade of the tree.

There is also a corridor between the back garden and the outer wall of Bifu, and the ancient trees within the garden wall are towering, making it easy to identify that this house also has a history.

"It's been half an hour since I've been in. I don't know what happened in the palace? He whispered in an angry voice.

Helan Chen put his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at the evening stars in the sky, and said: "If there is no news in another quarter of an hour, I will send two people to watch outside the palace gate."

"Then tell the people under the house to be vigilant at all times, and once they find something unusual, they will send a message immediately."

Su Yan bowed his head and quietly jumped to another tree.

Helan Yan breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his body that had been bent for a long time.

And just as he was leaning back, a cold star suddenly flew towards him from mid-air, and the chill was like an ice cube, which was particularly piercing in this midsummer night......

In fact, the truth is not so bloody......
