VIP chapter content,
Kang Yang's marriage was grand, but it was in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn just a few days, a lot of things have happened, and Li Shuci is also nervous, for fear that something will go wrong and prevent the Gyeonggi army of the six princes from returning to the dynasty. The second day was the Laba Festival, Li Shuci did not dare to relax, early in the morning he ordered Qingge to personally boil Laba porridge in the small kitchen of Heyi Palace, and pinched Helian Tao's reply in his hand and pondered for a while: "I, the lord of Yongning County, who was personally appointed by the monarch, still enjoys Yulu, why should I personally go to thank him." ”
Mu Yun was bored waiting for Li Shuci to go out, and she could also go out to walk: "When will we be able to leave the palace?"
"Don't worry about it until the big picture is set. Mu Yun wailed, she was really going to grow hair. Li Shuci teased her, and her mind fell elsewhere. If the identities of the Confucian King and the Six Princes have been reversed, then does the Confucian King himself know about this?" "Xia Xing, you have been in the palace for so many years, have you ever heard of the things in the Chunwu Palace back then?"
"When Xia Xing entered the palace, the harem was already the world of Concubine Hui. Most of those people have lost their traces of those things back then. Chunwu Palace can only be entered by the monarch and the Confucian king, and the palace people who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping are also newcomers. This was also expected by Li Shuci.
Xia Xing stood in front of her, muttered for a moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of her. There was a moment of surprise in Li Shuci's eyes, and then he understood what she meant, and he didn't stop her, waiting for her to speak. Xia Xing thought for a while and said, "Girl, Xia Xing is from the ancient clan. ”
Li Shuci nodded, indicating that she had guessed. Xia Xing glanced at her with a gloomy expression: "Xia Xing is helpless, and now even the winter solstice has been killed by the Confucian King." Over the years, I have been accustomed to seeing deceit and coy in the palace. But I have never seen the girl and Sister Qingge, Sister Muyun is such a master and servant, no, no, although you are a master and servant, your love is like a sister. Xia Xing was envious, hoping that the girl could take me in, Xia Xing was a girl with a sea of swords and fire, and her liver and brain were smeared, just to have a place to live, a place to belong. I can be like Sister Qingge, I don't have to worry about the betrayal of my sister and the betrayal of my master......"
Perhaps Xia Xing's expression could not completely express the pain in her heart, and how could a few words clarify people's hearts. But Li Shuci can understand her. A person in this world is helpless, as if he has nothing to do with this world. No one cares if you live, and no one knows when you die. It's a kind of panic that few people can understand. And when Li Shuci watched his young son die in his arms in his previous life, the moment he saw his eldest brother's death fall on the spot, and after seeing the green pigeon silent, what is the difference between that helplessness and panic and the Xia Xing in front of him?
Mu Yun stood behind Li Shuci, and seemed to remember the scene of her slaughter, and directly attached the veil to her eyes, so that others would not see her and couldn't suppress the tears she shed. Li Shuci sighed, patted her arm, and said to Xia Xing, "You get up and speak." ”
Xia Xing stood up and stood there with his head bowed. Li Shuci said: "There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is needed." Since you have vowed to follow me, and I choose to believe you, then we are family. However, you can't rely on me for the rest of your life. ”
Xia Xing raised her head suddenly, tears welling up in her eyes, but Li Shuci stepped forward and pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "Silly girl, how can you follow me every day when you marry in the future?"
Xia Xing suddenly covered his face with a handkerchief, whimpered and cried, and then laughed with tears on his face, "Mu Yun is right, the girl's heart is broken!" Several people laughed together, Mu Yun pulled her to sit down and asked, "Is Princess Gurya not good to you?"
"We have to start from the beginning. Xia Xing shook his head and said slowly to the two: "Our Xia family has been loyal to the ancient emperor for generations, so in the last period of the dynasty's decline, the family members were the first to be protected, and they were the first to retreat to the underground palace. But the blood of the royal family cannot escape. In the end, except for the captured Ruby Princess, that is, Princess Gurzhen's grandmother. Only Princess Gurya's grandmother, Princess Qinghe, was successfully rescued and fled to the underground palace. At that time, there were about 300 people, mostly young adults and children, in order to continue the bloodline of the ancient family. ”
"There are many organs in the dungeon, and the only princess of the royal family, Qinghe, does not have a map of the dungeon, so these people have to grope a little bit, trying to find a way out, fortunately, they have stored a lot of food in the dungeon before, and then found a way to the outside in the mountains under the Fuling Palace, so that they can get out of the dungeon to get what they need. ”
Li Shuci was puzzled: "Since someone has been in the underground palace before, why didn't you give them the map? Not even the only princess of the royal family, Qinghe? Isn't it too strange?"
"There are also a lot of calculations in the Chongnan royal family, and there are also a lot of ancient royal palaces, which are all what my mother heard from my grandmother, and my mother told me again. Xia Xing smiled bitterly: "Originally, Wang Shanglibao's bloodline was Princess Hongyu, not Princess Qinghe at all. Princess Qinghe's mother tried her best to save her, otherwise in the end, Princess Hongyu would not be captured even if she died...... It's hard to pinpoint the details, but that's what happened. ”
"In this way, it is possible that the king of the ancient clan has told Princess Ruby the secret of the map and the relics. So, the secret of the map or the relics may have ended up in the hands of Princess Gurzhen?" Li Shuci seemed to understand what Gurya had done at the beginning, as well as many temptations of the Confucian king, perhaps for this thing. "The Confucian King once told me that he had obtained a broken map of the underground palace in the Chunwu Palace, and I thought it wouldn't be that simple. So, the missing part of the map could be the secret of the relics?"
Since the Confucian king was able to obtain this map, was Concubine De gaining the trust of the Confucian king in order to cover up the fact that the prince was replaced, or did the Confucian king himself already know that he was a dove occupying the magpie's nest and obtained it by himself with all his efforts?
Xia Xing didn't expect Li Shuci to immediately grasp this key in her words, so she said: "What the girl said is right, that's why Princess Gurya will find a way to send the winter solstice to the side of the Confucian prince." She felt that Concubine De would definitely tell her flesh and blood this secret. But the winter solstice not only betrayed Princess Gurya, but also told the Confucian King some things about the underground palace, which led to some ancient people being secretly killed......"
Li Shuci saw her strange appearance and asked, "Could it be that your family ......?"
Xia Xing nodded sadly: "Princess Qinghe is suspicious and cruel, and most of the ancient people are controlled in the underground palace and cannot go out. The only exceptions are those who are on a mission, and their families are firmly controlled by Princess Qinghe as hostages. If the person who went out did not return in time or complete the mission, his family would be killed. ”
"The dynasty has declined, but Princess Qinghe is not reconciled, and constantly struggles to squeeze the remaining clansmen, planning for her, and surviving. Princess Qinghe's daughter and Princess Gurya both continued this bad behavior. I was also born in the underground palace, and my father named me Xia Xing, hoping that I would be as small as countless stars in the night sky, ordinary and small, but free. ”
But after the Confucian king's people secretly infiltrated the ancient clan, the originally precarious clansmen were assassinated and replaced. My parents both died at that time......" Xia Xing's eyes were bloodshot, but he refused to shed tears: "As a descendant of the ancient clan, the Confucian King killed the ancient clan in order to become the emperor of Chongnan, he is really a despicable villain...... Xia Xing was very sorry, at first he wanted to use the girl to get close to the Confucian King and take revenge. But the girl's every move was contrary to the Confucian king, and Xia Xing understood that the girl and the Confucian king were not all the way, so he gave up this idea. ”
Li Shuci nodded, not surprised by Xia Xing's statement, except for her and the six princes, others did not know that the Confucian King was not the child of Concubine De. But even if King Confucius is not Concubine De's biological son, his actions can be called human-faced and beast-hearted. Now what she wants to know is, does the Confucian King himself know?" ”
"For as long as I can remember, I've been training to be a spy every day. Princess Gurya had already faked her death and hid in the Li Mansion at that time, and she also replaced Aunt Shen, the concubine of the girl's grandfather. I have heard about the death of Concubine De back then. Xia Xing said: "Princess Qinghe is not the bloodline of the royal family, so after Princess Gurya knew about Princess Qinghe and Princess Hongyu, she had far exceeded her attitude, and she was simply angry. ”
"In addition, there are many clansmen who are dissatisfied with the cruel rule of the three princesses, and they will use this to rebel. After Princess Gurya grew up, the restoration of the country was still far away, and she became more and more dissatisfied with her situation, and at the same time resented Princess Gurzhen's splendid prosperity in Da'an Palace. She is cunning and ruthless by nature, and she has spent a lot of effort and exhausted all means to deceive the kind-hearted Princess Gurzhen, and she entered the palace through the Shen family to become the queen. ”
She forced Princess Gurzhen to tell the secret of her widowhood, but she never succeeded. Later, the king confined Concubine De in the Chunwu Palace in the name of raising the fetus and recuperating from illness for four years, which also saved the lives of the Confucian King and the six princes, but Concubine De finally died, and Princess Guerya, who was the queen of Shen, was also forced to fake her death and leave Da'an Palace by the conspiracy between the king and Concubine Hui. ”
"That's all I know about the past. Among the four maids, I was the first to be sent to the palace, and almost all the secret piles in the palace wanted to pass the news through my hands. Later, after Dong Solstice betrayed Princess Gurya and followed King Confucianism, they removed Princess Gurya's hidden stakes in the palace one by one and replaced them with their own people. I grew up with the winter solstice, and she must still have some concern for me, and she didn't tell me who I was. ”
"So, do you know who is the Confucian prince in this palace?" Li Shuci straightened up and looked at her with burning eyes. Xia Xing nodded heavily: "Six or seven out of ten." ”
