"Wait, you don't mean to-"

Luo Xizheng tilted her head slightly, only smiled, and then her words continued: "In this Shen Chu, there is no 'Chu Lingyuan' for a long time......

Among Shen Chu, there is no "Chu Lingyuan" for a long time-

Until Luo Liyao boarded the carriage on the return trip, Luo Xizheng's words were still constantly replaying in his mind.

Luo Liyao still wanted to ask a few words what he meant, but when she raised her head to meet his eyes, she suddenly had an epiphany - there was no "Chu Lingyuan" in Shen Chu.

That means...... The previous statement by Cao Han to Chu Zhaoxi that "Chu Lingyuan is probably not a royal bloodline" is true!

And with the sisterhood relationship between Yongye and Yongyue, and looking at Yongye's reaction at that time, she must be an insider about it.

In this way, the real Shen Chu Great Prince Chu Lingyuan has long since ceased to exist...... Or rather, long since died.

Then there is a new question - what is the identity of the "Chu Lingyuan" who exists in front of everyone's eyes now?

Luo Liyao wanted to ask, but when she saw Luo Xizheng's appearance, she stopped talking and only guessed in her heart.

Luo Xizheng didn't know what she was thinking, but he still didn't take the initiative to mention that he wanted to solve her doubts, let alone mention a few words about this matter - he was so secretive but didn't know where to start, and at a glance he knew that he hadn't really figured out the ins and outs of this......

Since it was something that even Luo Xizheng herself didn't know, it was useless for her to ask again, it was better to find the answer by herself.

Luo Liyao slightly picked up the corner of the curtain next to her, but was immediately stopped by Luo Xizheng's hand and stopped his movements: "Reluctant? ”

"What?"

"This is Empress Zhao's hometown......" Luo Xizheng smiled lightly, not as surprised by her reaction, "Won't you be reluctant?" ”

Luo Liyao pursed her lips and said nothing: "......"

"If you like it, let's find a chance next time-" Luo Xizheng gently put her hand in his palm, "I'll accompany you again." ”

"Stay with me?" Luo Liyao was not as sentimental as he thought, but showed a puzzled expression, "You better stop laughing...... You've been away from Autumnwater City for so long, and there must be a backlog of things waiting for you to solve. ”

"That's just for a while-" Luo Xizheng was choked by her words, and said with a wry smile, "If you want to, you still ......"

Luo Liyao seemed to smile, her eyes drifted to the side of the car curtain, as if she was looking at the scenery outside the carriage through the car curtain, obviously there was no expression on her face, but she gave it inexplicably

Luo Xizheng had a melancholy feeling.

"No, I don't want to." Luo Liyao said as she used her other hand to gently open the corner of the curtain again, looking at the scenery outside the carriage, "Here...... It's no longer the hometown in the queen mother's heart. ”

Outside the carriage, the streets of Shenchu were still unfamiliar, and even so, when the merchants were coming and going, the streets were as desolate as a lonely city, and only occasionally staggered past a few hungry people in ragged clothes.

"You ......"

"I'm not sad, it's just ...... It's just a little unbearable in my heart. Luo Liyao saw it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and said to herself, "'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road' (1)...... This is the current Shen Chu. ”

Luo Xizheng was speechless, and only said slowly: "This is only when the world is peaceful, if there is a war in the future-"

"I know...... I know. Luo Liyao took a deep breath, as if she couldn't bear to look at those hungry people anymore, she only lowered the curtain with trembling hands, interrupted him and didn't let him continue, "If there is a war, the lives of these people will only be more miserable - you say, why do those royal families who are in power make mistakes for the people in power, but they have to pay for the livelihood of tens of millions of Li people?" ”

"Those who are officials are unkind, those in power are unwise, and the convenience of the people is not boring-" Luo Xizheng gently held her shoulders, as if trying his best to calm her trembling body, "But you have to believe that there will always be a day when the world will be unified and Haiyan River will be clear." ”

Tang Haoqi silently listened to the movement in the carriage for a long time before he let out a sound: "Boom." ”

"How do you feel again?" Tianji glanced at him angrily, and pointed behind his back, "I advise you to go to the back and keep an eye on the envoy - I always feel that this person is a potential threat." ”

Tang Haoqi snorted twice, rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just Ning Zhongji's protégé, if he has any bad intentions, I will directly kill him with an arrow in his sleeve?" ”

"Hey—" Tianji tugged at the reins slightly, stabilizing the speed of the carriage, "I can't imagine that you still have such a ruthless side." ”

"Ruthless? You're thinking too much. Tang Haoqi gently rubbed the sharp arrow in his sleeve, "It's not because he has a relationship with that Ning Zhong...... When I think of this man, I feel like I'm about to use a big knife. ”

"You have a broadsword? How big is it? ”

"It's a stalk, don't take it so seriously - the point should be that damn Ning Zhong, that is, ......"

"I've heard of it, the one related to the fall of the Shi family before, right?"

"What do you mean, he must be the culprit-" At the mention of Ning Zhongji, Tang Haoqi was very angry, "I will definitely find an opportunity."

Yes, I'm going to give him to him sooner or later...... Hmmm! ”

Tianji covered his mouth with one hand, pulled the reins with the other, and motioned to him to be quieter with his eyes - after all, the son of the main owner of the family was still inside.

Luo Liyao pretended not to hear the conversation between the two outside just now, and even stretched out her hand very protectively, and slowly moved Luo Xizheng's face to the side: "You didn't hear anything." ”

Luo Xizheng: "......"

"Before you arrived at Shenchu, Miss Shi had secretly broken into the Chengbei Palace alone, she-"

"Is she alright?"

“...... Fortunately, Mo Wei found it in time and told me that when we arrived, she was nothing serious, just-" Luo Xizheng lowered her eyes, not knowing what her mood was, "She found the maid who had been with her mother before. ”

Luo Liyao subconsciously wanted to exclaim, but she couldn't help it, and after a pause, she relieved herself and said softly: "Personal maid? She-"

"She didn't die, she happened to be out shopping when Cheng Juan was on a killing spree, and she happened to escape the catastrophe - but she didn't dare to make a noise, so she had to hide there secretly. Miss Shi must have found some clues to find there, but when I asked, she didn't want to say anything, just like a different person. ”

"Cheng Hu."

"By the time we arrived, his heart was broken...... Miss Shi did her best. ”

"Hmm." Luo Liyao closed her eyes, no longer dwelling on this, and continued to ask, "The one who sent the entire Shi family to the prison back then signaled the jailer to spread the plague to the Shi family in prison...... It's Ning Zhong, right? ”

Luo Xizheng rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache: "Yes, it's not hard to guess - and since I asked Miss Shi to no avail, I also went to ask him personally...... He happily admitted. ”

"The Shi family is a family of medical skills, and he can't be hindered at all in the struggle for power in the court, so why does he want to attack the Shi family?" Luo Liyao frowned, and some of the words she wanted to say were swallowed back the moment her eyes touched his eyes, "He...... Why do you want to exterminate the master's family? ”

"For my mother."

Luo Liyao: "......"

I don't know what kind of mood I had, Luo Xizheng told what happened to Shi Yuezhen during her absence from Tianqi, and several conversations between him and Ning Zhongji-

At that time, the case of the Shi family came very quickly and was extremely strange, and Luo Zhuangxi's sudden onset was also, and Shi Chengliang at that time diagnosed the result because Luo Zhuangxi had taken Xiangke drugs, but when he wanted to say it, he was already in prison.

Luo Zhuang Xi got sick when he walked out of Zhao Tianyuan's Xingfei Palace, which was very rare

It is because of her relationship, and it may even involve Ning Zhong, that is, Luo Xizheng. Moreover, Luo Zhuangxi's illness is menacing, it is difficult not to worry about the ownership of the throne, in that extraordinary period, it is natural that everyone is in danger, and Ning Zhong wants to achieve his goal, so he naturally has to take extraordinary measures.

No matter what the reason is, Ning Zhong will take action and use special means to cover up this matter - sacrificing a master and preserving them all, from Ning Zhongji's point of view, it is naturally extremely worthwhile.

In fact, this was a very obvious thing from the beginning, but Luo Liyao and others suffered from no evidence to prove it. At this time, Luo Liyao had already learned about these causes and consequences from Luo Xizheng's mouth, although she still had the resentment of the tragic death of the Shi family in her heart, but compared to the simple resentment before, she was also reflecting - if she was also in the same position as Ning Zhong at that time, in the face of a situation that was almost a dead end, would she also make such a choice, and use other people's blood to pave a way for herself and the people around her?

In the past, Luo Liyao must have replied without thinking: No.

But now Luo Liyao is full of uncertainty and suspicion in her heart - she has heard of the indifference of the superiors, such as the Weiyan royal family does not care about the people's livelihood and is indifferent to the collapse of the border Surabaya embankment; She has seen the darkness of those who fight for power, such as Eternal Night and Cao Han trying their best to beat each other into the death of no transcendent life; She even saw with her own eyes that the officials did not do anything, and when many Li people were in dire straits, she could even talk and laugh about the dancing girls in her house......

If it was these people who did not mean anything to her and did nothing to the people, she would not care at all.

Luo Liyao suddenly felt that her state of mind had become very terrifying, and even the expression on her face was a little ugly.

At this moment, she only felt a stuffy pain in her chest, not just because she was entangled in Ning Zhong's right and wrong, nor just because she was sad for Luo Chengjun - just for a moment, all the pain in her heart surged there in an instant, clamoring to break her up.

Luo Xizheng was the first to notice the change in her, and instantly clenched her hand, as if he wanted to say something, but finally fell silent.

"I ......"

She wanted to say something to Luo Xizheng, but before the words could be fully spoken, she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark and she completely lost consciousness.
