Chapter 182: The Past More Than Twenty Years Ago
Su Ruoxi didn't expect that such an ordinary and inconspicuous small iron pipe would have such a miraculous effect.
So, she sat down in her chair and easily began to eavesdrop on the conversation in the next room.
In the next room, Mu Zihan sat on a chair, playing with a small empty teacup in his hand, and the ghost mask on his face looked particularly eerie.
The light in the room is very dim, and the atmosphere of the whole room is very oppressive.
After Yulong was brought to the room, his hood was ripped off.
The guards tied him to the wall so that Mu Zihan could ask questions.
Mu Zihan glanced at You Long with gloomy eyes, and said in a cold tone: "You Long, I haven't seen you for twenty years, do you still remember this king?" ”
As soon as these words came out, You Long looked at Mu Zihan with a surprised face, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
"You...... You are...... Three princes! ”
Although he had never seen Mu Zihan, You Long immediately recognized Mu Zihan's identity.
Su Ruoxi only heard this simply, and knew that there must be an unresolved entanglement between You Long and Mu Zihan for many years.
"Humph! Looks like you're not old fool yet! Then you should know what is the purpose of this king spending so much effort to find you. ”
After Mu Zihan said this, he fell silent, as if he was giving You Long time to think.
You Long rolled his eyes in a panic, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "More than twenty years have passed, what if the prince knows the truth back then?" I'm afraid no one in the world will believe that fact. ”
"Humph!"
Muzi snorted coldly, and then there was a crisp sound of a teacup breaking, and the teacup in his hand had already broken into powder.
"What this king wants to investigate, even if you die, this king can still find out the truth from you."
"Explain the things of the year to this king clearly, otherwise it will ......"
Speaking of this, Mu Zihan paused, but that cold tone was reminiscent of various torture methods.
You Long was a dying man, and he was not afraid of Mu Zihan's threat.
It's just that, for so many years, his conscience has been greatly condemned, and he has been living in the torment and torment of his conscience.
He felt that he was a sinner, the biggest sinner in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and he could only go to hell after he died, and he would even be scolded by the world.
Therefore, when Mu Zihan asked about the events of the year, he decided to tell the truth.
Only by speaking out can he feel that his soul can be redeemed, and he can be worthy of the Northern Qi Kingdom and die without regrets.
"Lord Wang! You Long is a sinner through the ages, and it is not a pity to die. I only hope that after I tell the prince the truth, the prince can support the Northern Qi Dynasty, protect the prosperity of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
You Long's words were very strict, Mu Zihan had known some incomplete news before, so he also had a bottom in his heart.
"You name it, and this king will know how to deal with it!"
Mu Zihan's tone was flat, indifferent, without any ups and downs, at this moment he seemed to be a judge, listening to the voice of a dirty soul.
Su Ruoxi was a little inexplicable when she heard it, more than 20 years ago, Mu Zihan was probably not born yet, right?
What bad things did this Yulong do? How did she feel like a traitor, with a weak heart, guilt, and inner torment.
"Since the prince can find me, what the prince wants to know is nothing more than the prince's true life experience."
"Back then, I was just an ordinary guard by the queen's side, but a decision made by the queen made my life change."
Yu Long began to recall what had happened more than twenty years ago, only with endless remorse in his words.
Mu Zihan didn't speak, but remained silent and let You Long continue.
"Actually, today's crown prince was not born to the queen!"
As soon as You Long said this, Mu Zihan's eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously, and his hands were clenched into fists tightly, so that the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged high.
And Su Ruoxi, who was next door, was even more shocked and widened her eyes, thinking which one is this singing?
The crown prince was not born to the queen? So how did the prince come about? Could it be that it will still be 'Tanuki for Prince'?
Su Ruoxi took a deep breath, tried her best to keep her feelings steady, and then continued to listen seriously.
She finally understood now why Mu Zihan came to Quanzhou in person, and then found You Long at any cost.
Presumably, Mu Zihan must have known what the rumors were, had doubts about the identity of the prince, and then began to send people to investigate Youlong's whereabouts.
"Back then, after the queen's first child was difficult to give birth, the queen no longer had the ability to have children."
But the queen concealed this matter from the emperor, and later asked the palace maid beside her to sleep for the emperor, and after the palace maid was pregnant with the dragon seed, she pretended to be the child in her arms. In fact, today's prince was only born to a palace maid. ”
Speaking of this, You Long's love became a little excited.
He choked up for a while before continuing: "That palace maid's name is Qin'er, and she is my friend. Since Qin'er became pregnant, the queen hid her in the palace and did not let her see anyone. Even the queen killed another palace maid, using the body of the palace maid to pretend to be Qin'er, and publicized that Qin'er had drowned. ”
"At that time, even I thought that Qin'er died like that, and her death was unknown."
Later, after Qin'er was pregnant for ten months, she gave birth to a prince. The queen wanted to kill people, but I accidentally found out that Qin'er was still alive, and under my questioning, Qin'er told me the truth about this qiē. ”
"In order to save Qin'er, I escaped from the palace with her, but I was chased and killed by the queen's people all the way. Qin'er didn't want to bother me, so I hid. I saw with my own eyes that Qin'er was killed by those killers. ”
"After the killers left, I ran out and went to Qin'er's side. Qin'er told me with her last breath, let me live well and keep this secret forever, otherwise the world will be in chaos. ”
After saying what happened, You Long couldn't cry anymore, and the scene of that night was still vivid.
Even after more than 20 years, he still remembers it vividly.
"So, you kept this secret incognito for more than twenty years?"
Mu Zi asked coldly, You Long nodded, not daring to look up at Mu Zihan's face.
After hearing this, although Su Ruoxi felt incredible, she had to believe this fact.
So many years have passed, and now it has been turned over again, and I don't know what kind of bloody storm it will set off.
The important thing is that it is not easy to convince the emperor of this.
She didn't know how Mu Zihan would deal with the queen and the crown prince after finding out about this matter.
If the prince was born to just a lowly palace maid, then he would not be worthy of being the prince.
