Shangguan Xueyu's face was amazed: "Even you thought of it here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chu Yunxi nodded and said: "When Chu Xiaolian killed my second uncle, you were not much older than me, but you were just a five or six-year-old child, even if you were talented, you would not be so scheming, although you planned the future, but this matter, or the beginning of the whole thing, should not come from you." ”

"It's not difficult to figure this out, but how can you conclude that Chu Yilian didn't die in the hands of Chu Xiaolian?"

Another complicated inference, Chu Yunxi thought about it for a while, sorted out his thoughts again, and said while thinking: "First, it's because of the wound. I have checked the bones of my second uncle, and I have asked someone to examine them. The bones of the second uncle have two major injuries, one is the left side of the back, and the other is the heart. A fatal stab in the heart is blamed on the wound in the back. This is not the point, if the person is dead, the knife will inevitably add to the snake, if he is not dead, the knife will be very bad. My second uncle is a scholar without the power to restrain the chicken, and Chu Xiaolian is strong in martial arts, if he wants to kill my second uncle or attack from behind, how can he not stab him in the back in the fatal place, he is a martial arts practitioner, don't you know that the neck, spine, and back of the head can kill people?

"So I thought maybe the two stabs were stabbed by two people. You and I are much taller than women of the same age, and when I was five or six years old, I was almost on the verge of reaching my second uncle's waist, and if I stabbed him in the back, I would only be able to stab him in the back. After he was injured and in severe pain, the other man drew a dagger and stabbed it into the heart when he reflexively checked who the attacker was, and guessed by his height that the person was at least an adult woman, if not a weak-crowned man. However, your strength is also very great, since you can slash the second uncle's sternum, I asked myself if I practiced martial arts, and I didn't have this strength when I was five or six years old.

"The second is the burial site. The body of the second uncle has been buried at the gate of the pear courtyard, and Chu Xiaolian is too bold to ignore it for five or six years. It wasn't until my second aunt accidentally learned the secret of Chu Xiaolian's identity that he remembered to burn down the old house. How did the second aunt know his identity, he would never write it down, or put the evidence on the table. I think it's probably what I heard, if Chu Xiaolian didn't have the habit of talking to himself, then he could only talk about it to others, and the most likely one was the one who killed my second uncle. ”

She spoke very slowly, but she was coherent. Shangguan Xueyu fully understood after hearing the beginning, and said coldly: "Okay, then I will also answer your third question, the person who killed your second uncle is my mother." ”

Shangguan Xueyu didn't answer much, but the clever Chu Yunxi had already caught the joint point of the problem from it, and hurriedly threw out the fourth question: "That's right, your family really has a feud with my Chu family." Next question: Who are you guarding against, or who is Chu Xiaolian's other behind-the-scenes military advisor? I don't know why Chu Xiaolian trusts you so much, but you always have a way. Chu Xiaolian returned to his hometown to mourn, you could have told me the truth more directly, but if you play tricks and hint frequently, you won't break it, if my brain can't keep up with it, wouldn't it be a waste of your hard work. You probably wouldn't have deliberately contested my intellect with such a big deal. If it weren't for Chu Xiaolian's strict precautions against you, there must have been another extremely powerful character who made you extremely jealous, so you had to use this tortuous and cautious way to constantly remind me.

Chu Xiaolian can't even write, and he knows very few words. As a ruler, he has so many official documents to deal with every day, how to deal with courtiers, how to figure out the holy will, how to balance the officialdom, how can you deal with it as a woman. Even if you are talented and worthy of being an auxiliary politician, it is difficult for you to deal with the affairs of socializing and winning over business in the officialdom. You have made friends with the talented and noble men of the Han clan in Chang'an City, which has caused a lot of rumors, and I don't think you will interfere in government affairs as a woman. I wonder if I am fortunate enough to know that this person who knows the emperor's mind, his methods, his current affairs, and the national code is so familiar that even you can't help but be afraid of the name of this person? ”

This is just a trivial matter for Shangguan Xueyu, but since Chu Yunxi asked seriously, she also generously answered: "You still saw through it after all, but it's a pity that Shen Jun didn't have a deep friendship with you, otherwise he would have thought you were very interesting." ”

This surprised Chu Yunxi: "It turned out to be him!" After the accident of the strange Dao Chu Xiaolian, Shen Zhong, who was his right-hand man, was not only not demoted, but had a prosperous official fortune all the way up. but because he gave birth to a good son. ”

"Yes, it's him, I said it was a pity that he didn't act." Shangguan Xue Yu smiled unfazedly: "He used prodigal frivolity to cover people's eyes and ears, in fact, he is the most eye-to-eye person, and his wisdom is unfathomable, I am afraid that I will be held down by him by accident, after all, he almost killed you." ”

Chu Yunxi, who was already calm, was shocked, and said gloomily: "It turns out that he was the one who ambushed me that day and night!" ”

Shangguan Xueyu smiled excitedly: "I guess you always thought that the person who harmed you was Gu Chaomin. ”

"I knew I was wrong." Chu Yunxi sighed slightly: "At that time, the truth was revealed one after another, and I was upset, and it was difficult to scrutinize it carefully, but after thinking about it, I found that there were many mistakes and omissions. I wronged Qing Chun and inadvertently caused her to die in vain, I am not without sin, and who in the world dares to say that he is completely innocent, I am guilty and therefore detributed, I have no intention of resentment. I would also like to thank you for your life-saving grace in reporting the letter that day. ”

Shangguan Xueyu had to admire her demeanor, and sighed a little sadly: "No need, I can't stand it, it's not that I want to save you, it's just that the timing is wrong." However, on that day, in order to achieve your wishes, there were people who did not hesitate to lose their reputation, and were charged with colluding with powerful ministers with bad intentions, and wanted to go to Huangquan with you, I am afraid that he has not told you about these things. ”

That kind of helpless and sad happiness became her unbearable pain, she almost wanted to cry, but she couldn't help but smile happily: "He always says I'm stupid, why shouldn't he himself, meeting me is his calamity, and it is also my biggest sin." My conscience is troubled day and night, because there are so many people who are ashamed of him, and I only ask him to be safe in this life, and if there is reincarnation, I want to see him again in my life. ”

"The confusion will be solved, and now only one last question remains." Chu Yunxi stood up tremblingly and bowed and asked, "May I ask the girl, what kind of feud is your family with the Chu family, so that you and your mother do not hesitate to plot for many years, frame the innocent, and disturb the dynasty?" ”

Shangguan Xueyu also stood up with her hands behind her back, her face was sad, and the hatred in her eyes suddenly arose when she looked at her, and she said in a half-loud voice: "How much do you know about your biological father?" ”

Chu Yunxi had a bad premonition, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, as a daughter, I don't know much about my father's past. ”

"Then you should know that your father was the commander of the Tiansheng Army before his death." Shangguan Xueyu no longer has the charm and glamour of the past, she has become cold and fierce, and the makeup on her face is also majestic and cold, as if she has changed in an instant.

Under the oppression of her momentum, Chu Yunxi was like a falling morning dew, a dying young bird, weakly but unyieldingly confronted her: "I have heard of it." ”

Shangguan Xueyu's chest continued to rise and fall, as if he was about to be unable to restrain the anger and hatred surging in his heart, and asked in an extremely fierce tone: "Your father is the eldest son of the Chu family, and he should inherit the marquis of the Chu family, but because of the battle of Youzhou to destroy the fang, and solve the border crisis in the northeast for a hundred years, he was specially named a duke, do you know?" ”

"This incident was the greatest glory of the Chu clan in this dynasty, but in the first battle of the grassland coalition led by Tuoba, my biological father was defeated and died, and more than half of the Tiansheng army was injured, causing the Chu clan to almost be destroyed." Chu Yunxi's eyes flickered, and he whispered with some fear.

Shangguan Xueyu's eyelids pressed slightly, revealing a slanting fierce light: "I am not Han but a member of the White Fang tribe, and my parents are both White Fang people who live in Youzhou all year round. Our white fang people are born with high strength, the most simple and kind, loyal and diligent, where can the enemy be cunning of your Han people, so they are often lured and captured by the local Han people, driven to be slaves. The land, food, and women of our people were plundered by the Han people, making it impossible for us to survive, which is why we are constantly harassing, but you Han people deserve it. Years of old feuds eventually led to the outbreak of war. Your father is worthy of being a genius, and the army of our White Fang clan was defeated and retreated, and finally the leader of the army was killed, and 300,000 White Fang people had to surrender to your father. Your father selected hundreds of good-looking young men and women from the clan and sent them to Chang'an as slaves. Among them was my mother, who had just become pregnant, and it was needless to say that she had to endure hardships on the way south. After she was sent to the palace as a slave, she happened to be assigned to your mother's Tonghua Palace. But your mother was the most kind and kind person, and she always had a good name. ”

She sneered and laughed, Chu Yunxi didn't know what she meant by ridicule, and frowned slightly. Shangguan Xueyu glared at her, and said hatefully: "My mother knew that once she was pregnant, she would not be able to live, so she simply told the princess the truth, Her Royal Highness the princess is still benevolent, and specially let my mother out of the palace, that is, at that time, my mother learned about the princess and your father's affair." My mother wandered all the way back to her hometown, only to find that my village had been razed to the ground. Your father indulged his soldiers in burning and looting, women, massacres of civilians, and looting of finances in the dwellings of my White Fang. In seven days, the whole tribe of my 300,000 white fangs was slaughtered, and the blood was flowing like rivers and corpses were all over the field, and when my mother returned, only a scorched earth and bones were left, and your father was honored for it, and even won your mother's favor, which is really funny. ”

Her eyes were red with excitement, and her expression of pain and hatred was hideous like a man-eating beast. Hatred! This monstrous hatred! This hatred of the exterminating race! made Chu Yunxi feel like a chest beat, she fell backwards again and again, holding on to the back of the chair so that she didn't fall to the ground.

"If she had known that your father was bloodthirsty and murderous, and that even the premature baby in the womb of a pregnant woman was singled out by the soldiers to kill, would she have given birth to you for him?" In the face of her bloody questioning, she was incredulous and tried to defend herself, but she was pale and powerless: "How can there be such a tragic thing? There were also white fang slaves in the palace, but I had never heard them talk about it. ”

Shangguan Xueyu laughed miserably: "How can they know that the hometown they want to return to has long been gone, and they can only be lonely in the deep palace, or for people to serve, or become concubines and concubines, and it is rare to be free forever, and their descendants will repeat their fate." Your father is to blame! That's the culprit! It's a murderer! He deserved to be framed to death by his brother, and the Northeast Army he led deserved to die under the knife of the Tuoba tribe. She pointed at her and complained, her eyes glowing bloodthirsty red, leaving her with nothing to hide, leaving her defenseless.

Shangguan Xueyu cruelly told her how her father and uncle were killed: "Yes, after my mother returned to her hometown, she fled and wandered for half a month, but she accidentally met a bandit who looked exactly like your second uncle. At that time, my mother only said that the sky had eyes, and gave her a great opportunity for revenge. That person is Chu Xiaolian, yes, but my mother didn't know that he was Chu Yilian's long-lost brother, so she just thought it was a coincidence. My mother used all her beauty and intelligence to seduce him, Chu Xiaolian has no courage and no strategy, no talent and no knowledge, and she is lustful, where can she resist her mother's temptation, she will become a minister under her mother's skirt, obey her and love her in every way. So his mother used him to play a good show, first asking him to pretend to be Chu Yilian and lie about the military situation, which led to Chu Zhonglian's fiasco and his death. It's a pity that Shi Lie reinforced in time, and made the counter-plot disperse the grassland coalition army, and from there, he became the governor of the clouds. Then he was suspicious of the pregnancy, so my mother fled to a foreign land alone and raised me until I was seven years old. Chu Yilian was killed by me and my mother and buried at the door of the pear courtyard, this matter is as you expected, Chu Xiaolian didn't know about it. Three years later, my mother was seriously ill, and she didn't want me to fall into it again, but someone had to complete the desire to avenge the clansmen, so I took over this mission and followed my mother into the Chu Mansion secretly, and my mother lied that I was Chu Xiaolian's own daughter and was on her deathbed. Therefore, Chu Xiaolian trusts me very much, now you understand. ”

Chu Yunxi gasped deeply, only to feel that the sins and hatreds in this world were so hateful and terrible, destroying the world and harming others and themselves. She sighed sadly, "It was that night that my mother heard your words without any opinion that she caused her death. ”

"Yes." Shangguan Xueyu smiled extremely lightly, as if the tragic incident that made Chu Yunxi feel heartbroken was just a joke: "At that time, Chu Xiaolian wanted to kill her on the spot, but his mother dissuaded him, so he might as well find a chance to burn it clean, in fact, it was just a delay, giving you a chance to escape." I left you and Luochun so that one day you will make the truth public, and watching your people commit suicide can solve the hatred in our hearts. Bai Biao bears the name of a talented man, but in fact, he is the most proud, conceited, reckless, impulsive, and scheming, otherwise how could he let Chu Zhonglian silently snatch love, make him resentful all his life, and be depressed and not marry. He learned the truth from Bai Qiao's mouth, and actually came to confront him, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. He thought that he would use carrier pigeons to communicate with Chu Yunyi for you, and we would not notice it at all. As everyone knows, we have already set a trap waiting for him to fall into the net, so under our calculations, a generation of talented people will die like this, which is also sad. She sighed, mocking in her tone.

Chu Yunxi, whose limbs were as heavy as lead, was very sluggish even blinking his eyelids, and there was only a sluggish and trance expression on his pale face. She was no longer able to speak the question, but asked softly: "My father is dead, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are not enough to compensate your people, why do you want so many innocent people to be buried for the events of that year?" ”

These words touched Shangguan Xueyu's angry heartstrings, she knew that she had harmed many innocent people, could it be that their lives were worth a thousand gold, and the old and weak women and children in the clan were as cheap as ants. She laughed angrily, and her laughter was very terrifying: "If I am really cold-blooded, I should stir up the chaos in the Central Plains before I can resolve my hatred, and we just let your Chu clan pay for the blood of the past is already merciful, your father killed more than 300,000 people in my clan, we just want your Chu clan to pay for a few hundred lives, is it too much?" ”

Chu Yunxi smiled bitterly and said, "The matter has come to this, everything is irreparable." It's strange that you can write 'Dansha Red, the blood of heroes through the ages'. ”

Shangguan Xueyu smiled lightly with some sentimentality: "You are Chu Zhonglian's daughter, this is your fate, the real source of your pain, he is dead, as his only bone and blood, you can only bear the torture and pain for him." As he spoke, he leaned closer to her ear and said resentfully, "When I left, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered that the forbidden army execute the three of Yu, Luyan, and Biyin, and after death, the bodies were dismembered, and their heads hung above the city gate. ”

Chu Yunxi's pupils dilated suddenly, his facial features twisted together painfully, he took a few steps back, his cheeks bulged, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Outside the house, the sky was already changing color, dark clouds were overpowering, snow was drifting wildly, and a gust of wind hit and opened the windows. Shangguan Xueyu only felt a flower in front of her eyes, her clothes and hair were blown wildly, and a large mass of colorful petals mixed with ice and snow rushed to her face, she raised her sleeves to block it in front of her, only to hear a muffled sound of falling to the ground, and when she squinted her eyes and turned her head to look, she saw Chu Yunxi lying on the ground with her head in the sky, her mouth full of blood, and her clothes were also mottled with blood. Her eyes were as beautiful as ice pools, and large plum blossom petals fell on her head and body, like a incense mound, to bury her in the sea of flowers.

The colors that floated before her eyes gradually dimmed and faded into pitch black.

The wind has gradually stopped, and the petals in the house are still falling. Shangguan Xueyu squatted down, staring into her closed eyes, and couldn't reach out for her breath. She tried to pull out a happy smile, but the muscles on her face were numb and uncontrollable. She staggered to her feet on the back of her chair, only to feel a huge emptiness, her heart seemed to be hollowed out, and her whole person fluttered like a hangover, not knowing what day it was.

She leaned against the wall and slowly moved to the door, solemnly closing the door, covering the Chu Yunxi buried in the flower mound, and covering the sorrows of her life.

Walking in the wind and snow, she suddenly laughed out loud, Chu Yunxi was relieved when she died, but she still had to trek in this long winter, and was eaten by memories in the lonely dark night. Those who bear the shackles of hatred will never shine through the sun and will never be happy.

Chu Yunxi, if you and I don't have a vendetta, we must become close friends. Today I say goodbye to you, and I hope that I can be a stranger in the next life.
