Chapter 142: The bottomless darkness hidden in the depths of my heart

Ye Xici immediately understood what Fang Xiaoyu meant by the net that could be connected.

Suppose that his maternal concubine is really not born to his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, but Zhou Xiang's lost concubine. Then, at the beginning, my maternal grandfather and grandmother dropped the bag between my mother and Zhou Guifei in order to let Zhou Guifei become the concubine of Zhou Xiangfu more than ten years later, and then enter the palace through the draft.

The matter originated from the noble lady Niangniang who was favored by the old emperor all his life in the early state of Zaozhou, and this noble lady Niangniang was a man, and she was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she may also be a member of a princess family.

He was a man, and it was impossible for him to conceive a child with the old emperor and conceive an heir. Therefore, the child who was made the crown prince may not be the biological son of the old emperor, but the lineage of King Yun of the Great Zhou royal family.

That is to say, the emperor of the early state is likely to be the bloodline of King Yun, and he entered the early state through guò that 'noble lady Niangniang', and he has been the strongest chess piece planted by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the early state since he was a baby.

Although the Hayashu Kingdom is weak, the territory is not large, and the population is not large, but its real purpose is probably not the Hayashu Kingdom, but the Great Inheritance.

Suppose that the incident of running away from the concubine back then was planned by the emperor of the Hayashu Kingdom, in order to let the woman who was pregnant with his child 'escape' to Dacheng and marry his maternal grandfather. And because his maternal grandfather was attracted to this woman or because he was a spy planted by Da Zhou in Da Cheng from the beginning, in short, the two came together and planned a plan to steal Zhou Xiang's daughter. And then the twins were born. His son went to the state of Hayashu to assist the emperor, ostensibly pretending to go back to take revenge, perhaps with another purpose. And her daughter is Zhou Guifei, who has been instilled with a certain idea since she was a child, and when she grows up, she pretends to be Zhou Xiang's lost concubine and blends into the palace. On the contrary, it was Zhou Xiang's real concubine, that is, the mother concubine, who became her child.

Back then, the concubine used some small means to completely confuse the royal blood of the Zaozhou Kingdom, which means that in fact, the Zaozhou Kingdom has long been within the sphere of influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Such a troublesome layout was for the throne of the early state of Zaozhou, and that Zhou Guifei mixed into the palace and climbed all the way up. was promoted to a noble concubine and gave birth to the second prince Ye Shucheng. If Ye Shucheng finally won the throne......

That is to say, Dacheng has also become a subsidiary of Da Zhou. Because, Ye Shucheng's body may also have half of the blood of the Cloud King.

If it is for the sake of coveting the great inheritance. Then, it seems logical to send a few descendants. You can't let some outsiders take the throne, otherwise how can you ensure that these people will not rebel after they ascend the throne?

What a troublesome layout. To unify the world in a roundabout way, it doesn't cost a single soldier, but it just takes more time. Pay a few descendants, if it is done secretly, how many people would have thought that Da Zhou would use so many years to arrange such a cumbersome bureau?

Of course, this qiē is only speculation, but it is the most likely speculation.

He has always had mixed feelings about his maternal grandparents. He was once taken by his mother to visit the second elder, and the love in his mother's eyes at that time could not be faked. Why did a person who was so filial to her mother suddenly cut off contact with her mother's family for no reason? Looking back on it now, when he mentioned his maternal grandfather and grandmother, he was very concerned about the sadness in his mother's eyes and a kind of hatred that seemed to be absent.

He was too young at the time to ignore these details. But now I think about it. Indeed, as Fang Xiaoyu said, there are too many coincidences in things, and it doesn't look like a coincidence.

In fact, the reason why he was able to accept Fang Xiaoyu's inference so quickly was because he was not close to his maternal grandfather and grandmother, and he had been to their house three or four times, and each time he stayed for a short time, and most of his impressions of his grandmother were still on that hideous and terrifying face full of knife wounds. Except for a pair of eyes intact, my grandmother's face was not half of the fine skin, and it was full of dense scars, which looked a little crazy. But also because of this. Those eyes looked exceptionally bright.

Wait a minute! Those eyes!

Ye Xici thought about it carefully, because it was a childhood impression, so it was a little vague. But now that I think about it, my grandmother's eyes seem to be like a person......

Ye Xici's face suddenly became gloomy. He now believed Fang Xiaoyu's inference even more. Perhaps, the mother concubine is really not the biological daughter of her maternal grandfather and grandmother, because the eyes that gradually became clear in his mind gradually coincided with the eyes of a woman in his mind.

Zhou Guifei!

"It's just an inference, maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much. I will continue to find out what the truth is. If it's really as I deduced, then win over Zhou Xiang, and your future life will be much better. No matter how much Prince An wants to get rid of you, he is not Zhou Xiang's opponent. ”

Fang Xiaoyu concluded.

Don't look at King An as a prince, and Zhou Xiang is just an outdated prime minister, but which one of the top characters who can mix with the prime minister is not at the level of an old fox? A person like Prince An who doesn't even know how to hide his favorite concubine and kill his wife is a big level behind Zhou Xiang.

If Zhou Xiang can be drawn into Ye Xici's camp, then for Ye Shucheng, it will be a blow to the ruin.

Not only because Ye Shucheng may not be Zhou Xiang's grandson, but also because Zhou Guifei deceived Zhou Xiang for more than 20 years!

She was even thinking that even if things were not as she speculated, Zhou Guifei was really Zhou Xiang's daughter, and in order to achieve her goal, she could design things to be so truthful. As long as Zhou Xiang can break with Zhou Guifei, it will be a great thing for both Ye Xici and the crown prince.

"No, maybe it's what you think. Once upon a time, I was young and always yearning for beautiful and mysterious things. My grandmother always wore a veil and never took it off even in front of her loved ones. Although I said that I accidentally ripped off her veil, it was actually intentional. I wanted to see what my grandmother looked like, and how she could capture the heart of such a heroic and resolute person. However, the face covered with dense scars gave me a strong impact. In the midst of all the ugly things, you will desperately find something beautiful to replace the fright, so I was very impressed by my grandmother's beautiful eyes. Ye Xici sneered: "Because I am in the bureau, I have never thought deeply in the past. But it was only after you reminded me that my grandmother's eyes were so similar to a person. ”

"Who? Zhou Guifei? Or Ye Shucheng? Fang Xiaoyu guessed that the reason why Ye Xici could make such an association, and even affirmed her speculation, was probably the eyes that were very similar to someone. If you think about it this way, there are not many people who can choose it.

"Concubine Zhou." Ye Xici replied affirmatively: "When I first met Zhou Guifei, I had a sense of déjà vu. I just can't remember where I've seen it. At that time, Zhou Guifei had never been masked, and I didn't get along with my grandmother for a long time, and I didn't see her again for a long time, so I didn't think about my grandmother. But I think about it today. The eyes of the two of them are slightly similar. There are many similar people in this world, I am afraid it is just a coincidence. But if you look at it in conjunction with your suspicions, this coincidence is a bit overdone. ”

Ye Xici did not believe that such a coincidence could be concentrated in one place. There must be something wrong with this, and he must find out about it, whether it is for the death of his mother. Or for his own sake. He can't be kept in the dark without knowing it, no matter what, he must find out the truth of the matter clearly!

Fang Xiaoyu was a little more determined in his heart. So many suspicions point to the fact that Zhou Guifei may have dropped the bag with Princess An, but Princess An's mother looks a little similar to Zhou Guifei.

What if not only the eyes are similar, but all the places are similar? Is that woman's disfigurement to cover up this big flaw?

If so, this woman is too ruthless. Be cruel to others, and be even more ruthless to yourself.

That woman doesn't love beauty, that woman doesn't pay attention to her looks? Ruining a beautiful face with your own hands is fundamentally different from ruining your own beautiful face with your own hands. Fang Xiaoyu only knew. If this matter is replaced by her, she may not really do it, I'm afraid she will have to think of other ways. For example, transfiguration.

Before Fang Xiaoyu could say anything more, Ye Qiu knocked on the door with a pot of water boiled from fossilized salt.

At this moment, this is just a secret hiding place, and there are no maids and servants to serve, so Ye Qiu, an exclusive guard, has to temporarily do the work of subordinates and boil these medicinal juices with his own hands.

Fang Xiaoyu sent Ye Qiu away, then picked up a towel, dipped it in water boiled from salt fossils, and gently rubbed it on Ye Xici's wound.

Salt fossil water touches the wound. brought a series of painful reactions, Ye Xici's face did not change, but looked at Fang Xiaoyu with a look of enjoyment in Fang Xiaoyu's eyes, which seemed to be extremely gentle, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Xiaoyu wanted to say that it hurt, so he shouted out. is not ashamed, but when he looked up, he met Ye Xici's gentle gaze, Fang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart, and there was only one thought in his heart: Is this child cheap?

"You secretly returned to Beijing this time, and you are hiding here for the prince?" Fang Xiaoyu diverted the topic. She felt that she was going to be looked down upon by Ye Xi.

Ye Xici retracted his gaze with some unfinished meaning and said, "Yes." As soon as I returned to Beijing, I heard that the crown prince was under house arrest. I think someone wanted to make some small moves while I wasn't in the capital, so I took care of it. Now hide here and see what this man's purpose is. ”

"What are you going to do?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled, she felt that she was afraid that Ye Xici had also guessed who did this. It's just that there are too many loopholes in the matter, so he can't get the other party's purpose, so it's like this.

"One step at a time. If the other party doesn't make a move, how can I see the move? Ye Xici looks like a leisurely, if the prince is in front of him, he will definitely kick his ass.

"That Mu You's old father had received the favor of Zhou Xiang, and in order to repay the favor, he jumped out to testify against the prince. This man is not to be worried, I have a way to deal with him. The most important thing now is how to convince Zhou Xiang that he recognized his daughter wrong. Fang Xiaoyu was a little expecting Zhou Xiang to be furious, Zhou Guifei and Ye Shucheng looked like ink, it must be very interesting.

"Maybe it's really wrong?" Ye Xi smiled, although he was still a little awkward in his heart, but his feelings for his grandfather and grandmother were really as light as clear water. He's just close to his mother.

"If you don't admit your mistakes, you have to let him admit your mistakes, with a grandfather like Zhou Xiang, Princess An's revenge will be avenged, and it can be expected." Fang Xiaoyu paid attention to Ye Xici's expression.

In fact, her meaning is very clear, even if her speculation is wrong, they can use tricks to make things come true. Zhou Guifei's authenticity doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that Zhou Xiang's connections all over the government and the opposition and his guilt for the lost concubine are too important to them.

However, if things deviate slightly, if Jian Zhengyan is really Ye Xici's maternal grandfather, as a person with a strong family concept, he may not be willing to do such a wrong thing.

Fang Xiaoyu is an old monster who has lived for nearly a hundred lifetimes, and he has experienced all kinds of messy and incredible things, so he is very open-minded. She understands that if it is to achieve the goal, there are actually 10,000 ways to do it, and there is no need to stick to one pattern.

However, Fang Xiaoyu's real purpose in saying this sentence was to test it.

It's not to test Ye Xici. Rather, it was to test herself.

That feeling of bondage from the depths of the soul, that feeling of reminding oneself every time that you can't be evil, didn't appear.

If she reverses black and white to confuse right and wrong, and separates a pair of biological fathers and daughters, it is said that this is evil, and there must be a feeling of being prevented haunting her. Even when she wanted to kill Shang Keren, that feeling appeared, so much so that she just beat Shang Keren hard, and then forced her to kill herself. Not long after returning to Beijing, she thought about presenting the prescription for the treatment of the plague to the emperor first and then helping Shen Shanruo to ask for credit, and she was also determined to rob Shen Shanruo of the credit and was haunted by that feeling, which made her give up that idea, but now she strongly wants to pull Zhou Xiang to her side, and even does not hesitate to use tricks or lies, but she has no feelings.

Does that prove that in fact, her guess is already ** out of ten?

Or is it just because Ye Shucheng has a causal entanglement with her, so a qiē's means are not counted among good and evil?

However, no matter which result it was, Fang Xiaoyu underestimated Ye Xici's determination to avenge Princess An. As long as he can avenge his mother's concubine, he can even give up himself, how could he let go of such a great opportunity.

At this time, Fang Xiaoyu didn't notice the darkness that was really hidden in the depths of Ye Xici's heart.

The darkness was so deep that he didn't even want to touch it.

Anything related to that darkness was a taboo for him. At the same time, he is willing to do anything to dispel that darkness.

Ignoring the dark Fang Xiaoyu, he was attracted by something peeking out of the corner under the pillow at this time. (To be continued.) )
