In the face of her questioning, Yuan Jin's eyes froze, and Qingjun's face seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom and grief, "These are all ministers of the imperial court, and they decided to protect me as the imperial heir after deliberation at that time, after all, I am the line of Prince Yiwen, and legally it is the only root of orthodoxy." ”

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen has several sons, but all of them were imprisoned by Zhu Di in the high walls of Fengyang's hometown, where the garrison of 3,000 will be imprisoned in the forbidden land, and it is difficult for anyone to fly.

"After the engagement was made, they made a blood oath and decided to leave their lives behind to do something earth-shattering!"

His eyes flickered, and he was silent for a long time, as if he didn't know what to say, Xiao Gu was shocked in his heart, and asked, "What kind of big thing?" ”

Yuan Jin shook his head, "I was still young at the time, and Zhang Shangshu and they discussed many things behind my back, I only heard him say to Hou Ye, "I am tired of you doing this righteous deed, and raise this child well." ”

This is an allusion to the orphans of the Zhao family...... Xiao Gu's eyes lit up, but he heard Yuan Jian continue: "He said to Ling Zun - in order to exterminate the rebels in Kuang Fu Sheji, you have wronged yourself to make a reputation and throw yourself into the enemy......"

His voice became painfully low, "Later, Zhang Shangshu would rather die than surrender, and the whole family was destroyed. ”

He didn't say much, but Xiao Gu's mind was like electricity, thinking of the evidence that his father had "secretly betrayed Zhu Di to the court", and after a few thoughts, he suddenly understood most of the things in his heart: Hu Run, Zhang Zhen and others secretly designed to protect Zhu Yunxiao and exterminate Zhu Di, for this plan, Hu Yan pretended to collude with Zhu Di to secretly send information, in order to win his trust, he even pretended to sell the information of Emperor Jianwen, and was even detained and interrogated by Dali Temple.

Zhu Di, who had just entered Jinling City, immediately released Hu Yan. It is also ready to be reused - the beginning of this plan can be said to be flawless.

"And then?"

Xiao Gu couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Jin's eyes were solemn but clear, and he slowly shook his head and said: "I don't know the twists and turns, I only know that they failed in the end." ”

Xiao Gu's eyes flashed, and there seemed to be an invisible clue in his heart, connecting these scales and half-claws - Hu Yan's plan must have failed completely, and he was exposed because of this, and he was suddenly exterminated in the second year of Yongle. Zhu Di was furious and lost his mind. He even skinned his corpse and made it into a skin bag to hang on the top of the palace gate.

What happened in between?

Xiao Gu looked at Yuan Jin, who turned his back to her, his voice was low and dry, "Before Mr. Hu was martyred, he took my pair of jade pendants as a dowry - this is also a proof of my identity, and after two days, he sent Long Pei back to the Marquis of Guangping's mansion, father ...... Hou Ye asked me to treasure it. He said that this pair of jade pendants symbolizes the truth of my identity, and the two jade pendants together contain a great secret. ”

His whole being was immersed in light and darkness. The figure was like an ice sculpture, and he seemed to take a deep breath before continuing: "This secret is related to Mr. Hu's plan - as long as the timing is right. can completely exterminate Zhu Di, a traitor. ”

What is the secret that can put a heroic and capable emperor to death?

Yuan Rong, Marquis of Guangping, was Zhu Di's favorite general and son-in-law. is a very reliant henchman, why is he willing to stand aside with these former Jianwen ministers?

Hu Yan and others have failed, why does Yuan Rong still believe that this plan can be implemented smoothly?

What does this mean to the jade pendant and the whole piece of jade?

Hu Yan and Zhang Zhentongguò's obscure and tortuous way to bring things back into the hands of "Yuan Jin", what kind of miracle are they looking forward to?

Xiao Gu still felt that there was a lot of fog, and many key points were hidden from time to time and could not be connected.

Because she heard this secret, endless turbulence surged in her heart, and she sorted out her mind a little, and she couldn't help but smile coldly - Hu Yan and Zhang Zhen are tantamount to using her and Ruyao as the basis and bargaining chip for loyalty to this prince, and the real key is not the marriage contract, but the token that represents the agreement!

She and Ruyao are real victims!

Hu Run...... She was completely reluctant to call that man's father - even if he was willing to die, now even this kind of murderous business had to drag her down.

When it's critical, why doesn't he fill this hole with his beloved red note?! Why her?

The anger in her chest swelled up, she picked up her jade pendant and threw it towards Yuan Jin, "Give it back to you!" ”

Yuan Jin stretched out his hand to take it, his palm firmly held the cold and delicate, he saw the sneer in Xiao Gu's eyes, and listened to her in his ear: "The things will be returned to you, we will have nothing to do with each other from now on!" ”

She turned around to leave, Yuan Jin's eyes flashed with pain and sorrow, and she wanted to reach out to stop her, but she finally stopped, standing alone in place, watching her go away.

The wooden lattice of the window lattice shook and then closed, the room was quiet, and the wind blew the candles out of the candle, and the smile on Yuan Jin's lips was endlessly bitter, but it gradually turned open-minded and relaxed—

"I knew long ago that if you knew the truth, you would hate me."

He smiled slightly bitterly, his eyes were like jade pearls, "But I am not just a fetter to you of the jade covenant, but ......"

In the dark night, he stood there, like a statue carved from cold jade, only those black eyes contained too many deep feelings.

After standing stiff for a long time, he picked up a name card from the bookcase, and wrote a few lines on the snow-white paper, inviting him to go to Wanhualou for a banquet two days later, signed by an extremely simple person with no official title: Xue Yu.

This name is very unfamiliar, Yuan Jian originally ignored it when he got it, but at the bottom of the credible note, he drew a cluster of orchids uprightly, and a few strokes were quite good.

After so many years, Yuan Jin has a good understanding of the Golden Orchid Society, and seeing this cluster of orchids with nine petals, he knows that this is the emblem of the eldest brother of the Golden Orchid Society.

Yuan Jin's eyes shrank slightly, revealing a vigilant glow.

This is a very dangerous invitation, to go, or not to go?

He rubbed his fingertips over the letterhead, lost in thought.

****

The night is as cool as water, the moon ring appears and disappears in the haze, the houses and streets near and far are black, Xiao Gu is like a ghost under the eaves, and he is moving faster and faster under the agitation of his heart.

Although he had known for a long time that his biological father was cruel to his mother and daughter, he didn't expect that he would be able to do such a thing!

When it comes to a critical moment, she remembers that she is the eldest daughter, which is so ironic that it makes people want to laugh!

She ran wildly under her resentment, sweating happily, and the familiar outline of the Marquis of Jining had already appeared in front of her. (To be continued......)
