"Sounds fantastical?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "If I do it, I have countless ways to hide from the eyes of the old emperor. Although I have grown a little longer, I don't dare to guarantee that I will not really show flaws, but at least I can give it a try, and I have a high certainty of success. ”

Fang Xiaoyu knows a lot of things, thanks to her unusual background. Anyone who lived for ninety-nine lives, even if he was a fool, was enough to learn many things that seemed to others to be geniuses.

Yes, there may be such a possibility, but the uncertainty is too great. If you are not careful, you are likely to be noticed.

Just as Ye Xici thought, Fang Xiaoyu also had this doubt, if the old emperor of the early state knew that the noble man was a man, and even if he did have the good of Longyang, but in order to protect the purity of the royal family's blood, he could always spoil this noble man on the surface, and the prince set up his own heir to take responsibility. She didn't believe that the old emperor would not even want the country for a man, if that was the case, he could have merged the country of Hayashu into a big country, and he himself would go to pair up with this man, there was no need to make things so troublesome.

Although Hayashu is a small country, it is like the difference between an elephant and an ant among large countries. However, such a small country has always been outside the big countries and has not been annexed by others, which shows that there are some means. But is such an emperor with means, would he confuse the royal blood for the sake of a man?

Pet it, pet it, as for the child, do you have to give up your own to get a wild seed back?

And what I don't understand is that if the emperor really loves this person so much, why didn't he make her a concubine? But let him be a noble man for a lifetime, and he didn't take another step up until he died? And although he was buried in the imperial mausoleum, he was still buried as a nobleman, and he could not be buried with the old emperor.

However, her body was well preserved.

There is a paradoxical point here.

In Ye Xi's words. In the entire imperial mausoleum, probably only the body of this noble lady who disguised herself as a woman and was favored in the palace was preserved well by a special method.

That is to say, after the death of this noble concubine, someone must know his man's identity. If it weren't for that, how could the body be preserved intact?

But. For such a big matter, there was no news from Zaozhou State, and someone must have deliberately suppressed this matter.

So, who is this person who single-handedly suppressed this matter? Is he in league with this noble lady? Or was it for some other purpose to help conceal it?

The second hypothesis was the second scenario she had guessed. In fact, except for this noble lady who disguises herself as a woman who knows how to please people, and holds one or two drugs that can cause people to hallucinate, and then finds a woman who knows how to serve people in bed at night instead of him, if he is careful, it is not difficult to keep people in the dark.

Wait until the morning when the emperor is awake. He replaced the woman again, and lay next to him in disheveled clothes, with silky eyes, I am afraid that the emperor, who was in a hurry to go to court in the morning, would not pick up his pants again to see if this person had the ability to sleep.

It's just that the only thing that is hard to hide is the Adam's apple.

What made Fang Xiaoyu really incomprehensible was that if this noble male lady had entered the palace on the orders of some people and had a plan, then why didn't he just send a woman there? Wouldn't that be more convenient? And it's not easy to be suspected.

Let a man enter the palace, and he exists as a woman, if he is not careful, it will be a catastrophe. Why bother?

"Can you really do it?" Ye Xici looked at Fang Xiaoyu's gaze a little ...... Well...... Wrong......

If Fang Xiaoyu hadn't seen Ye Xici injured, he would have kicked him out of the door. This gaze was obviously to wonder if she was also a man dressed as a woman, and this gaze was too undisguised, and she now pointed to someone to relieve this irritable mood.

"You're just going to the Imperial Mausoleum when you go to the early state country? Didn't find any more news? What Fang Xiaoyu lacks now is information. She had a feeling that there was a large web woven together in front of her, but there were some threads missing in the middle of this huge net, and the net was not connected together.

"I went to inquire about the royal family first, but nothing came of it. Later, I heard that the people of Zaoshu had the habit of writing their life events into a book and then entering the tomb together, so I went to the imperial tomb to see if there was anything interesting left in the noble man's tomb. Ye Xici smiled a little interestingly.

"Did you find anything interesting?" Fang Xiaoyu was curious.

"Nope. In addition to some funeral jewelry, the coffin was a corpse that had not decomposed, and what life deeds, let alone written into a book. Not even a scrap of paper was seen. Ye Xici shook his head.

"Isn't she from Hayashu?" Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled. In general, the customs of a country or region are rarely violated. For example, after the death of the great heir, he likes to put a high jade pillow in the coffin, which means that if there is an afterlife, he must sit back and relax. After the death of the Great Zhou people, they used their own hair to weave a knot, and then hung a small bottle under the knot, filled with the soil of their hometown and then put it on their chest. It means that it is difficult to leave the homeland and return to the roots.

Every country has its own small customs of one kind or another. Some are in life, some are after death. It's like faith, even if you don't really believe in it, but very few people will be unique because of it.

If there is a custom in the early state of the state to record his life and bury him together, then the noble lady should have a booklet recording his life in her coffin, whether it is a man or a woman. But Ye Xici did not find it.

Did you not have this thing in the first place? Or was it taken away by someone else?

"I guessed the same thing, because I found this inside her coffin." Ye Xi moved, took out something behind the book at the bedside, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Seeing the things in Ye Xici's hand, Fang Xiaoyu was shocked, and it seemed that a certain net was suddenly connected. She was surprised: "This noble lady who dresses as a woman is from the Great Zhou?" ”

"You really know." Ye Xici nodded. He was also amazed when he first saw it. The imperial concubine of the early state turned out to be a Da Zhou person, which is a bit interesting.

Fang Xiaoyu lowered his head in contemplation.

If it was in the past, she didn't know much about Da Zhou, so she might not recognize this thing yet. But because she came into contact with the old man of the tree house in the northwest, she immediately went to check some customs of the Great Zhou after returning to Beijing. And the little girl Xiangcha in her courtyard who is only willing on weekdays likes to read travelogues from all over the world, and she comes to various customs and interesting stories from various countries.

This little girl is a second-class girl in her yard, and she was promoted not long ago. She likes to read interesting stories about various places on weekdays, and her biggest wish is to be able to go and see them herself. It's a pity that the family background is not good, the wish cannot be realized, and now that he has been sold into slavery, it is even more impossible to be delusional. So the monthly silver issued on weekdays, in addition to a part of the subsidy for the family, the rest of her went to buy some travelogue books to read, although she was not very courageous, her knowledge was not small.

When she was reading the travels of the Great Zhou Kingdom. This happened to be seen by this little girl, and after some inquiry, I heard a lot of interesting things from her, including the custom of burying the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty after death.

At this time, Ye Xici was holding a knot braided with hair in his hand, and a gold bottle the size of a bottle cap was tied underneath, and what was in the bottle was probably the soil of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This thing was placed on the noble man's chest, and he could see it when the coffin was opened. Moreover, the method of compiling this knot is extremely complex, and it is not a regulation that can be used by civilians. This is the establishment regulation of the prince and the nine kings, which is not as gorgeous as the royal family. But it is far more cumbersome than that of civilians. Ye Xici has also done a lot of understanding of Da Zhou. He is different from Fang Xiaoyu, not temporarily, but he has had some attention to the Great Zhou Dynasty a long time ago.

These may all be enemy countries, so the crown prince will definitely face them when he ascends the throne. What's more, the Great Zhou Dynasty was ambitious, and he did not believe that the Great Zhou and the Great Cheng could be in peace forever, so he had to prepare in advance.

"The ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty disguised themselves as men and women and blended into the palace of the early state and became the favorite nobles of the old emperor. If it is only the Minister of Ministers or the descendants of the Minister of Ministers who have special hobbies to behave like this, can you believe such a statement? Fang Xiaoyu sneered. It seems that the Great Zhou Dynasty really did not only install people in Dacheng, but even small countries like Zaozhou did not give up.

However, a country the size of a fingernail like Hayashu Province. It is not difficult for the Great Zhou to forcibly seize it, but with the size and strength of the early state of Hayashu, it is impossible to compete with it, is it necessary to do such a troublesome thing?

In this way, it is not a direct fight. Instead, it should be a plan to act in such a roundabout way.

So, what is the Great Week?

A neighboring country in Hayashu Province? Great Inheritance? Dayu? Or is it both?

"Even if this minister has any special preferences, the vast land and wealth of the Great Zhou, and the population of the state is dozens of times more than that of the earlier state, why is it necessary to give up such a prominent status. Do you want to be a woman dressed up in the court of Hayashu to please other men? Even if that man is an emperor, the emperor of a small country like Zaozhou is not as noble as some middle-level officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention that he himself is also ranked among the three princes and nine secretaries, at least the descendants or family members of such a prominent person, so why should he be wronged and leave his homeland? Ye Xi didn't believe it. Even if it's a transvestite who likes to dress up as a woman, there is no need to go all the way to a sesame-sized place like Hayashu to please an old emperor.

"Not bad. Judging from the knots he would put on his chest and his homeland, he still had a sense of homesickness for Da Zhou. A prominent status as a minister, but he went to the palace of Zaozhou to be a nobleman, this is no longer Cheng Dù with a brain problem. This is clearly a conspiracy. Fang Xiaoyu continued: "The current emperor of the early state is the son of this noble lady. However, this noble lady is a man, and it is impossible to give birth to an heir, so the origin of this child must be strange. ”

"Since this noble man is likely to be a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is another conspiracy to infiltrate the palace of the early state of Zaozhou, then it is most likely that he will go to the emperor. Thinking about it this way, this child is likely to be his own child, in order to seize the throne of Hayashu Kingdom? Could it be that he is ambitious and wants to break away from the control of the Great Zhou Dynasty? ”

Ye Xici was understandably suspicious, because there were some things he didn't know.

However, Fang Xiaoyu didn't think so.

Combined with the information she had found before, combined with this matter, Fang Xiaoyu already had a faint conjecture in her heart.

"What are you thinking?" Ye Xi didn't say anything when he saw Fang Xiaoyu, so he asked.

Fang Xiaoyu thought for a while, so he asked, "I want to ask you something." ”

"You ask." Ye Xici nodded, not knowing what Fang Xiaoyu's expression was for when she suddenly had such a stern expression.

"Do you know that Princess Ann has a scar on her arm?" Fang Xiaoyu paused, and finally asked.

Ye Xici didn't expect Fang Xiaoyu to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I was very young, I saw a scar on my mother's arm. The concubine said that it was left by what seemed to be an accidental injury when she was born, and that she had kept it for as long as she could remember. ”

"Have you seen it with your own eyes? What is the shape of the scar? Fang Xiaoyu continued to ask.

Ye Xici thought for a moment and said, "It's like being ripped off a piece by a knife, it's a little terrifying." Because of this scar, my mother was also wronged by my father, and was rumored to be an unchaste and unclean person. It's just a scar, and what chastity does it have to do with it! ”

Ye Xici's tone was not very good, and when he remembered the days when his mother concubine had lived in King An's Mansion, he felt irritable for a while.

"And you've seen your grandfather and grandmother?" Fang Xiaoyu changed the subject.

"I've seen it, but when I was very young, my mother took me to see it a few times, but speaking of which, after a while, my mother never took me to my grandfather's house again. Sometimes I say that I miss them and want my mother to take me to stay for a few days, but my mother always prevaricates for various reasons. At that time, I thought it was my mother and my maternal grandfather and grandmother who had an awkward quarrel, so I never mentioned it again. Later, my grandfather and grandmother passed away, and I never stepped through that door again. Although Ye Xici didn't understand what Fang Xiaoyu suddenly mentioned his grandfather and grandmother for, he still answered seriously.

Fang Xiaoyu keenly felt Princess An's abnormality, most women in this era care about family affection. The concept of family is deeply engraved in the mind, even if she is married, she is also concerned about her mother's family, not to mention, after a woman gets married, she has to rely on the support of her mother's family, so that she can have some right to speak in her husband's family.

How could a person like Princess An suddenly cut off contact with her mother's family? Even when Ye Xici said that she missed her grandparents, she had to shirk it again and again? (To be continued.) )
