Chapter 138: Uncovering the Background

Situ Yu took the pastoral rumor and sat on a stone that had been washed smooth and clean by the stream. He reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, and she leaned her head back on his. Raising his eyes to look at the moon, bowing his head to tell the story, countless fireflies are curiously watching a pair of beautiful people, this scene is like a painting of extreme beauty.

"Rumor, why are you unhappy during the day?" The guard said that she had been preoccupied and sullen all afternoon, so he couldn't help but come to see her as soon as it got dark.

Mu Yu shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more. But she suddenly remembered something, looked at his extremely beautiful side face, and teased: "Don't be stupid in the future, things like stealing medicine are not what you should do as a prince." If someone catches it, see where your face goes! ”

That day, she was going to ask him to understand, but she didn't want to meet her brother halfway, and then she forgot about it, and now she was happy with him, and she couldn't help but think of his goodness.

Situ Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her defiantly with questioning eyes.

Mu Yu couldn't help but laugh a little when he thought about it, and chuckled: "I didn't know that you also had such an awkward time, and you sent a medicine and made such a big turn, is the prince's face too big?" Or is it embarrassing because the medicine is stolen? ”

Situ Yu gritted his teeth and tickled her with his hand: "You bad girl, you make fun of me when you get cheap......"

The pastoral rumor was scratched and begged for mercy, giggling.

Situ Yu hugged her, put his chin against her head, and said softly: "I originally wanted to give it to you with my own hands, but weren't you still angry at that time, your temperament is so stubborn, I'm afraid you won't want it, so I let Qing Ming do it for you, but I don't want that kid to take advantage of you!" ”

"Yes, if I had known that this medicine was given by you, I would have accepted it unceremoniously, and naturally I would not have agreed to help him practice any pills. I thought I made a profit, but I didn't want to lose a lot! ”

"What then? Otherwise, don't give him practice! Situ Yu frowned and said childishly.

"How? If you agree, you have to do it, and it is difficult for a gentleman to chase after him! ”

"You're not a gentleman, what are you afraid of!"

"Hey! Fengyuntang also has your hard work, are you tearing down the wall like this? She pushed him away and punched him in the chest.

"I'm afraid you're tired, and no one is more important than you in my heart!"

Mu Yu was stunned and lowered his eyes embarrassedly.

Situ Yu hugged her into his arms again and sat on the stone. After being silent for a while, he took out half of the silver waist card from his arms and handed it to her, saying, "Do you know this?" ”

Mu Yu glanced at it squintly, and immediately sat up, she took the waist card and looked at it carefully, yes, this is exactly what Snow Fox is doing.

"Where did you pick this up?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

It seems that the man is not lying, and she is indeed her person.

"That woman was captured by my men, she said she was your person, and gave this token, saying that you will know the truth if you have seen it!"

"Oh, all my people have fallen into your hands!" Mu Yu laughed at herself, "You didn't embarrass her, did you!" ”

"She is in your name, how dare I embarrass it!" Situ Yu pretended to be docile and well-behaved, "No matter what, I have to ask you for verification first, right?"

Mu Yu glanced at him with disgust, pinched the waist card in his hand, and was silent.

After a long while, Situ Yu saw that her mood was gradually declining, and said very childishly: "Don't frown when you're with me!" I want you to be happy all the time! ”

Mu Yu looked at him sideways and asked softly, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

"I said I wouldn't force you, don't force it if you don't want to say it!" He looked back at her with affectionate eyes.

"If I wanted to say it, would you like to hear it?"

Situ was stunned, and his eyes looked a little surprised.

Seeing his somewhat surprised expression, Mu Yu gently hooked the corners of his mouth. Along the way, she was not completely ignorant of his kindness to her, and she deliberately restrained herself in order not to let herself fall into the quagmire of feelings, but now, feelings have become like a flood that has opened the floodgates, and she can't control it, so she can only let it run.

She said to herself: "I asked the snow fox to dig General Xi's tomb, and I want to find some useful clues!" ”

I sent a lot of people before, and it took a lot of effort to find Xi Boyan's tomb. It is said to be a tomb, but there is not even a word on the tombstone.

Since the founding of Changli, in addition to the emperor's mausoleum, there is also a mausoleum to protect the country, and the head of each generation of the Xi family will inherit the position of the general of the Zhenguo, and will be buried in the mausoleum to protect the country after a hundred years, in order to show respect. But for some reason, Du Xi Boyan was rejected by the Protector Mausoleum, and there was only a six-foot-square cemetery on Jiuhua Mountain, twenty miles away on the outskirts of Longyang City, and a tablet without words was erected. It is said that this tomb was secretly repaired by his subordinates who fought on the battlefield back then.

Situ Yu supported his chin with one hand, looked at her quietly, and didn't ask why, listening to her say wherever she wanted, like a student who listened carefully to his master's class.

Seeing that he didn't agree, Mu Yu had to go on alone: "Actually, I don't have the surname Mu, my surname is Xi, Xi Mu Yu is my original name...... " She saw that Situ Yu's originally calm face changed suddenly, and her eyes were scorching, "What's wrong?" It's just a name, don't be so surprised, right? ”

Situ Yu realized his gaffe, put away the expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You say, your surname is Xi?" Do you suspect that your life story is related to the late General Xi? ”

"Well," Mu Yu nodded, seeing that his expression had regained his calmness, and continued: "I also found out a few months ago that my father, who had been shouting for more than ten years, was not my own father, but no one wanted to tell me who my father was, so I came to Longyang City to find the truth!" ”

"But," Situ Yuxing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Everyone knows that General Xi's daughter died at birth, are you sure you're not mistaken?" ”

In the past two hundred years, although the Xi family has not prospered, there are also collateral lines, so it is not surprising that the surname Xi is down, but if it is Xi Boyan's daughter, then this identity is extraordinary.

The information just obtained a few days ago confirmed that Xi Boyan is the only descendant of the Xi family, so his daughter is the person he is looking for, but everyone knows that his only daughter is gone just after birth, so this line is broken.

Situ Yu was also puzzled because of this, the Xi family's daughter had already died, so how could the master's words be confirmed? This matter became a puzzle in his heart, so he asked people to go to Xi Boyan's grave to find clues, but he didn't want to meet her people...... Will the rumor be Xi Boyan's daughter?

The expression in Situ Yu's eyes changed.

"Died?" The pastoral rumor was a bit of a surprise, but she had never heard of it.

"Don't you know?" Seeing her puzzled expression, Situ Yu took out a small bamboo tube from his body, opened the seal, took out a paper roll from it and handed it to Mu Yu.

This is exactly what Situ Yu asked Feng Xun to investigate that day, about the whereabouts of the three generations of the Xi family, he happened to be studying this matter today, so he took it with him, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

This mainly records the life of Xi Boyan. It contains details about when he was born, when he performed in battle, and all the details of his wife, childbearing, and finally suicide.

After reading the pastoral rumor in one go, I saw that there was indeed a note on it: "The general's daughter, sixteen years ago, died at birth, and then only one son remained, life and death unknown...... but his eyes finally fell on the last four words: self-murder!

Unexpectedly, these words were also recorded on it, and Mu Yu frowned slightly: "'Kill yourself!'" I don't believe that's the case! ”

"What is recorded here is absolutely true, at least verifiable!" The power of the Messenger is beyond question.

"But if it's all true, then what's the matter with me being alive and well?"

"Why are you so sure that you are the daughter of General Xi, and there are other people in the Xi family!"

Mu Yu was silent for a moment, then took out the parchment scroll given by his brother and handed it to him.

Situ Yu spread out the parchment scroll and took a quick glance, the content recorded on it was roughly the same as the information he received, but it was slightly different from the record of General Xi's heirs, which was recorded as "Emperor Shun for four years, gave birth to a daughter, and the name was a pastoral ......" did not record the death of his daughter.

"Is there a flower-shaped mark on your chest......" Situ Yu was silent for a moment and asked with some hesitation.

Mu Yu was startled, and subconsciously tightened his clothes: "You...... How do you know? ……”

"Don't think about it, I didn't see anything!" Situ Yu's eyes became deep and melancholy, "It is said that General Xi's daughter was born with a flower-shaped mark on her chest. "I didn't expect her to be Xi Boyan's daughter, the person he has been looking for!

For a long time, all the important ministers of the court, especially the heirs of hereditary officials, had to report to the Son of Heaven when they were born, and with Xi Boyan's fierce loyalty, it was expected that he would not commit such a crime of defrauding the king, so no one doubted the untimely death of the general's daughter.

However, things are often unexpected, Xi Boyan's daughter is snuggling up to him alive at the moment!

He sighed slightly, looking at her with some distress in his eyes. finally found the Xi family's daughter-in-law, it is said that he should be ecstatic, but why do you hope that that person is not her. He didn't dare to say what the master said to her, and he didn't want her to bear a heavy responsibility.

"Why isn't your brother mentioned here?" Situ Yu looked at those words again, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Brother?" Mu Yu took the scalp roll and looked at it, and sure enough, there was not a word about Xi Muyu.

It is said that Mu Yu is a son-in-law and should be recorded in front of the pastoral ballad, could it be that the person who wrote it forgot it? But the chances of that are slim to none. "yes, why don't you have a brother?" She couldn't figure out why.

"Who gave this thing to you?"

"It's my brother! On that day, he persuaded me to leave Longyang City, but I refused, saying that I wanted to stay and find out my background, so he gave me this, saying that there was something I wanted to know, but ...... "The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong.

Situ Yu looked at the two records that were slightly different, and couldn't tell which was true and which was false for a while, seeing that she was worried, he only comforted: "Don't worry, I'm afraid that there is an inside story about this matter, your brother may know, and I will also let my subordinates check it again!" ”

"That's all there is to it!" Mu Yu raised his eyes and looked at the moon in the sky, thinking to himself, it is high, is it because I have seen too much of the joys and sorrows in this world, so that there is this faction of noble and cold that has not changed for thousands of years, "I had a feeling early in the morning that General Xi is my biological father, but I didn't expect it to be the case!" But why is it that I am not happy at all when I finally have the answer to my life experience?"

"Is that what you're depressed about today?"

Mu Yu sighed slightly: "Situ Yu, you said that a general in his prime did not die on the battlefield, but died under his own sword, why?" "If those accounts are true, and my father really died by suicide, then his death would have hidden a great conspiracy?
