Murong Mingxi's words made the old man Shangguan fall silent, fourteen years ago, this was just a time word, but the pain it caused was permanent. The iron-blooded glory of the Shangguan family also stopped at that time. It's been fourteen years, and the baby has grown up safely. It's time to say these things.
After being silent for a long time, the old man slowly said what happened back then: "Your life was exchanged for Wan'er." Hearing this again, Murong Mingxi's heart was complicated. How many mothers in the world have no regrets when disaster strikes, seeking a glimmer of hope for their children's survival. Her mother, whom she had never met, used her love to get her life.
"Back then, your mother was virtuous and graceful, and she was famous. How many celebrities and nobles, and even royal children have come to the door to ask for marriage. Among them were your father and the pre-Qin king, who was still the crown prince at the time. Your mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

In order to take care of the girl's reputation, the emperor decreed that they were married. And your mother is married to Murong Fu. When the old man said this, there was still infinite regret in his words.
"What happened then, and why did she die?"
"When they got married, they should have been fine. Helplessly, providence makes people, just after you are born. Qin Tian detected that Shangguan had a woman and overthrew Great Qin. As soon as this proverb came out, you and your mother were immediately imprisoned in prison, and your uncle and I were taken back from our hands at that time. ā
The most unbearable thing for the emperor is the red face and the country, the lives of her and her mother, as well as the lives of the entire Shangguan family, are tied to this eight-character proverb, how cruel the monarchy is. The old man is still telling
"It all happened so fast that no one knew how it happened. Soon after you and your mother were imprisoned, the prince rebelled, and the murderous spirit approached the front of the palace. No one understood why the crown prince chose to do this, in the chaos, the first emperor was stabbed, and the second prince and Murong Fu came to the rescue in time, and the prince was subdued and imprisoned in the prison, waiting to be disposed of. Overnight, everything changed.
The first emperor was seriously injured, and no one in the hospital could treat him, and all the ministers supported the second prince to ascend the throne. The new emperor ascended the throne and decreed that the first crown prince would be the king of Qin and imprisoned for life. However, as soon as the decree was issued, the first prince gouged out his eyes in prison and bled to death. You and your mother have been forced into the cusp, in order to let you survive, Wan'er wrote a blood letter, claiming that she was the daughter of the Shangguan of the country, and committed suicide by hitting the wall. ā

"Grandpa, the daughter of the Shangguan of the eight-character proverb, actually refers to me, right?"
Faced with his granddaughter's inquiry, Old Man Shangguan chose to answer in silence. There is a secret behind the eight-character proverb that even the emperor never knew, so Shangguan Wan'er and the entire Shangguan Mansion were able to steal the dragon and change the pillar, and successfully left Murong Mingxi's life. In order to keep this secret, the Shangguan family did not dare to see Murong Mingxi all these years, just to prevent this child from having anything to do with this matter. Feilong's imprisonment this time is a temptation by the emperor to the Shangguan family, and they can't afford to gamble.
