Chapter 355: The Old Emperor Is Carrying the Black Cauldron?
"Hehehe." He Mingli laughed a few more times, and it sounded even more eerie in the damp stone prison.
"It's a long story, won't Your Highness come in and listen?" He Mingli put away his laughter and asked Luo Chenfeng, who was separated from the iron bar.
Luo Chenfeng opened the cell door, entered the prison again, and stood in front of He Mingli.
He Mingli, who had been imprisoned for several months, looked even older and shorter in front of the tall and upright Luo Chenfeng.
"It has to start thirteen years, no, it's almost fourteen years ago." He Mingli turned around and walked back to the corner and sat down cross-legged.
He had secretly tried to adjust his body, to dissolve or eliminate the poison in his body. But to no avail, as long as a little luck will involve physical discomfort, in the end, he had to give up, let himself become a waste, honestly imprisoned here, except quietly waiting for the opportunity, can do nothing.
"This king knows that the Heart Eater appeared in Lin'an City that year, and this king also knows that his father once let go of the captured Heart Eater." Luo Chenfeng said what he knew very calmly.
This surprised He Mingli again, "Your Highness also knows about this?" ”
Luo Chenfeng didn't answer, his eyelids drooped, and he looked at He Mingli, waiting for his next words.
"The Heart Eater is hurting people in Lin'an City, and His Royal Highness will let go of the captured Heart Eater, His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows this, so I don't need to say more about some things." He Mingli said.
"Even if this king knows, it can't be determined that my father is in collusion with the Mind Eater, and the hurt thing is the mastermind of the father, and the father released the Mind Eater, there can be other reasons." Luo Chenfeng firmly believes in his father.
He came to listen to He Mingli's slander against his father, just to get the whole thing straight.
"What does Your Highness think is the reason? What is the reason for the Fourth Highness to let so many innocent people die tragically and let the culprit go? Although the Mind Eater has disappeared for more than ten years, the person who died tragically is truly there! If it is a person who commits murder, can His Highness not pursue his crimes because he escaped by chance? He Mingli questioned repeatedly, pressing Luo Chenfeng every word.
Luo Chenfeng really couldn't answer these questions.
He believed that his father had released the Mind Eater for a reason, just like his father had cast a memory seal on him, with "good" intentions, but he didn't know how much reason he could let go of a monster that had committed a heinous crime?
After proof, it has been known that the "Heart Eater" who killed Du Feiyang was pretended by the emperor, so where is the real Heart Eater? So a beast can hide for more than ten years without a sound? Can it hide and make sure it doesn't come out again?
"Hehe, Your Highness can't answer, right?" He Mingli sneered, "No matter how respectable His Highness thinks the Fourth Highness is, as long as he does one wrong thing, and it is a big mistake, his reputation will be ruined." Let me ask Your Highness, should he be allowed to live with his burden or die in disgrace, or should he die vigorously and be admired by future generations forever? ”
"This is the reason why the imperial grandfather let him die in the field? This is what you call a father's protection of his son? Good intentions for his son? Luo Chenfeng secretly curled his ten fingers.
"Isn't it?" He Mingli asked rhetorically.
Luo Chenfeng couldn't answer no.
If the emperor really starts from loving his father and arranges his father's fate, this truth is reasonable, but is this really the case?
"Then there is no need to collude with Xiliao and let tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield die in vain, which can only make the crime of the father heavier, and it is as good as the heart-eating monster who killed the people! What's more, my father did not die on the battlefield. Luo Chenfeng retorted.
"It's an accident that so many people died!" He Mingli corrected Luo Chenfeng's accusation against the old emperor, "You don't know what kind of nightmare the emperor lives in every day and every night, and what kind of repentance he lives in, the emperor was pitted by the Western Liao. At that time, the first king of Western Liao was to blackmail the emperor with the secret of the four highnesses, and the emperor was anxious, so he agreed to some of the things they proposed, but he didn't expect that it was the people of Western Liao who rebelled, aggravating the tragedy of the battlefield, and it was too late for the emperor to stop it. In the end, it's all for the sake of the Four Highnesses! ”
"Compared with the people of the world in Eastern Chu, in the heart of the emperor's grandfather, he values his father so much?" Luo Chenfeng asked.
He knows how selfish, realistic, and cruel the emperor is.
If the emperor disregarded the situation between himself and Dongchu because of his father, Luo Chenfeng didn't believe it, and the price paid in this way should be far beyond the emperor's ability to accept.
"Your Highness, what kind of person is the emperor in your heart? I'm afraid that the old slave doesn't know much about the emperor. He Mingli said earnestly, "The emperor can be strict with any of his sons, and he will not tolerate any of his children and grandchildren to make mistakes, except for the fourth highness." His Royal Highness has been living abroad for so many years, and the emperor has a guilty heart for him, so he connived at him, and wanted to do his best to be good to him, and this heart has already reached the point where others can't understand it. If His Royal Highness lives well, the world of Dongchu must be his, he must be the only candidate for the crown prince, the position of the prince has been empty for so many years, that is, the emperor's heart for the fourth highness has never dissipated, but unfortunately, the fourth highness has lived up to the emperor's heart, and has brought great trouble to the emperor in the second half of his life, so that the emperor has all kinds of pressure, and even has to bear the accusation of your grandson. Ugh—"
He Mingli said a lot, and finally let out a long sigh.
"You said that the imperial grandfather felt guilty about his father?" Luo Chenfeng was dull for a moment and asked.
"Yes, the emperor has always thought that he has not been a qualified father to His Royal Highness, which has caused His Royal Highness to experience ups and downs outside, and has experienced the pain of losing his son and wife. The emperor thinks that if he knows about the existence of the Four Highnesses as soon as possible, let the Four Highnesses grow up in the palace since he was a child, have the best growth conditions in the world like several other princes, and enjoy the wealth that the prince should have, the early years of the Four Highnesses will not be so bitter, and they will not provoke the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, so that the family will be ruined! ”
He Mingli said these words while raising his eyes to look at Luo Chenfeng.
What he said was about the things that Luo Chenfeng should have forgotten, and he thought it would arouse Luo Chenfeng's curiosity even more.
However, Luo Chenfeng's expression did not change in the slightest because of his words.
"What the hell was going on with that loot in Maple Village?" Luo Chenfeng looked directly at He Mingli, calmly changed his tone, and asked.
"Kaede Village?" He Mingli was stunned again, and stood up, "Your Highness, you-"
"That's right, the memory of this king has been restored." Luo Chenfeng said.
"At that time, the old slave didn't participate, and the emperor didn't tell the old slave afterwards, the old slave just guessed that it should be the Fourth Highness who offended people and suffered tragic revenge, so he ......" He Mingli looked at Luo Chenfeng, paused, and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, those things have long passed, even if you recover your memory, don't think about it again." ”
"You think it's all over?" Luo Chenfeng asked rhetorically.
The cold gaze is like an ice blade, cutting the hole in the memory at any time.
He Mingli sighed again, "Alas, the Fourth Highness is indeed deeply affected, he doesn't want His Highness to remember those things back then, but he refuses to let go, so that his temperament is distorted, otherwise there would be no collusion with the Heart Eater, and he lost his mind for a while, and became a murderer, and the emperor often sighed and blamed himself for this, thinking that he did not fully understand the changes in the mind of the Fourth Highness, and he did not become a qualified father from beginning to end." ”
The mistakes are all caused by the fate of the Four Highnesses and their tragedy, everything the emperor did was for the sake of the Four Highnesses, and the emperor himself was also a beloved son and became a victim.
His master is innocent, and he is naturally innocent as a slave.
This is what He Mingli said.
In Luo Chenfeng's heart, His Royal Highness fell from an upright and brave person to a murderer who violated morality.
But if the Fourth Highness is as ruthless as a demon and is the same kind of heart eater, why would he save the Park family?
"After that, where did my father go?" Luo Chenfeng asked.
The father who saved the Park family, where did the father who appeared in Xiliao end up? He wanted to find his father and ask him for clarification.
"Dead." He Mingli is answering questions at this time.
"Dead?"
After asking for a long time, Luo Chenfeng didn't want to get such a result.
"Not long after arriving in Xiliao, he was caught by the people of Xiliao, and the emperor wanted to get people back in secret, but he ......" He Mingli said and stopped.
"The result?" Luo Chenfeng asked tightly.
Even if He Mingli's words cannot be fully believed, he must hear what kind of answer He Mingli will give, and draw the credible part from the answer.
"He died." He Mingli said, "I don't know the specific situation, Your Highness can go back to Ancheng and ask the emperor in person." When the time comes, His Royal Highness can inform the emperor that this qiē is all from me. The old slave and I have served the emperor for decades, and I obey orders, but in this matter, I don't want the emperor to carry the black pot for His Royal Highness anymore. ”
"Back to the black pot?!"
This word was like a slap in the head, smashing on Luo Chenfeng's head.
The cause of a qiē is the mistake of the four highnesses, and the emperor, who was originally considered treacherous and deep, actually started from the heart of the "beloved son"?
The style of painting has changed so fast!
"Isn't it?" He Mingli asked rhetorically, "For so many years, the emperor has been hiding it wholeheartedly, and the old slave doesn't know how His Royal Highness the King of Chu found out that the case of the heart-eating monster was related to the Fourth Highness, but since he found it, he understands the truth, and these His Royal Highnesses the King of Chu can analyze and judge by themselves, and the old slave doesn't need to explain more." ”
"All things are clear to the king." Luo Chenfeng stared at He Mingli tightly, "If you ask you about Feng Village, you said you don't know, so can you tell the king where the specific location of Feng Village is?" ”
"Maple Village, named after the red maple forest that grows very well on the edge of the village. This is what the old slave occasionally learned from the emperor......" He Mingli's eyes were deep, as if he was trying his best to search for memories in the depths.
