Zhao Yan looked at Yan Yuru, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and saw that there were still a few tears on her Ruyu face, and her eyes and nose were also red, looking very pitiful, which also made Zhao Yan sigh, the world said that the red face was thin, and he had always scoffed at this sentence before, but now it seems that there is some truth, at least it is very suitable for Yan Yuru.

At that moment, Zhao Yan picked up the sleeping Yan Yuru, and strode behind a screen at the back of the study, if he remembered correctly, Zhao Yan's study in the palace had a place to rest, sure enough, when he came to the back of the screen, he saw a small bed, and there was also a clean futon on the bed, Zhao Yan put Yan Yuru gently on the bed, and only then retreated after covering the quilt.

In fact, Zhao Yan was also very tired at this time, but he wanted to know as much as possible about the environment he was in, so he immediately checked it in the study, first of all, Zhao Yan found that the doors and windows were not locked, which made him overjoyed, but no matter he opened the window or opened the door, there would be two black-clothed people outside, staring at him coldly with four eyes, full of warning, which made Zhao Yan helplessly close the doors and windows again.

In the end, Zhao Yan counted, there were a total of nine windows and a door in the entire study, so calculated, there were at least twenty guards outside, and each guard didn't look easy to mess with, which made him a little discouraged, under such strict guards, it was absolutely impossible for him to escape with the strength of only one person.

Since he couldn't escape, Zhao Yan didn't bother to think about it, so he found a chair and half lay on it, tilted his head to think about things, and said that he was also tired at this time, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.∞

Zhao Yan didn't know how long he had slept this night, and when he woke up. But he found that he had an extra quilt on his body, and Yan Yuru's wonderful eyes were also looking at him very seriously, and when he saw Zhao Yan suddenly open his eyes, he screamed softly in fright, and immediately turned his gaze to the side with a red face.

"Hey, how did I fall asleep. Yan Niangzi, how long have you been awake? Zhao Yan asked with a smile at the moment.

Hearing Zhao Yan call herself "Yan Niangzi", instead of the "Yuru" when she comforted herself before, this made Yan Yuru suddenly a little lost, but she also quickly recovered, and replied immediately: "I also just woke up, although it is summer now, but it is quite cold underground, I am worried that the king of the county will catch a cold, so I will help you cover the quilt." Don't blame the king of Wangjun. ”

"Haha, it's too late for me to say thank you, how can I blame?" Zhao Yan said and reached out and touched the quilt on his body, there seemed to be a wisp of familiar body fragrance on it, it seemed that this was the quilt that Yan Yuru covered before, after all, this is a study, and there is only such a quilt.

Maybe it was because he saw what Zhao Yan had discovered, Yan Yuru's face turned red again. Fortunately, the room was only lit by candles, and it was not clear in the dim light. Only then did Zhao Yan not find out about her strange appearance. But soon Yan Yuru raised her head again and looked at Zhao Yan and said, "King Jun, what is the identity of that person in the palace, and what did you say later?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yan heard Yan Yuru ask about Xu Dezu's situation, and he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing how to answer, especially when Yan Yuru no longer called Xu Dezu his father. This change made Zhao Yan even more worried about Yan Yuru's psychological condition.

"The eldest brother has always refused to call that person his father, I didn't understand it before, and even thought that the eldest brother was a little ruthless, but now I finally understand, and I also know why my mother hanged herself not long after I was just a full moon." Yan Yuru spoke again at this time. It's just that at this time, her expression is no longer indifferent, but has become a little sad and angry, but this is also a good phenomenon, at least it shows that her emotional reaction is normal.

"His name in the palace is Xu Dezu, he is the most trusted eunuch around the Queen Mother, when Renzong was alive in the past, he could be said to hold great power in the palace, but now with the release of power by the Queen Mother, Xu Dezu's status in the palace has declined slightly, but he still has a lot of influence, if his true identity is discovered by the imperial court, I am afraid that even the Queen Mother may be implicated." When Zhao Yan said this, he couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the queen mother's most trusted eunuch would be the leader of that mysterious organization, no wonder Lao Huang had suffered losses in his hands many times before, and it was estimated that Xu Dezu had people in the Imperial City Division.

"As for after you fell into a coma, Xu Dezu kept asking me where did the knowledge I usually talk about come from? He seemed very interested in the subject, and finally I had to sue him, and he left. Zhao Yan then spoke again, although what he said was originally false, he didn't want to sue too many people, especially Yan Yuru was still his friend, and it was not comfortable to deceive his friend with false words.

Yan Yuru heard that Zhao Yan concealed the key content in his words, but she didn't ask, after all, everyone has their own secrets, but soon she sighed and said: "He still remembers his surname Xu, and he used this surname to enter the palace, I really don't know what he thinks?" ”

"By the way, Yan Niangzi, you said before that your ancestors were emperors in the fifth generation, and their surname was Xu, but I don't remember which emperor was surnamed Xu?" Zhao Yan asked again at this time, he couldn't figure out this question after thinking about it for a long time before going to sleep.

Hearing that Zhao Yan was still struggling with this question, Yan Yuru wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and finally sighed again and said: "It seems that the king of the county doesn't know that the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty was actually originally surnamed Xu, but after the founding of the country, in order to pretend to be the Mandate of Heaven, it was changed to the Li family, and said that he was the third son of Tang Taizong Li Ke, and later the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the later lord was captured in Beijing, and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty who were exiled abroad have restored their surname Xu, my great-ancestor is the third son of the Later Dynasty, and he has always intended to restore the country, and he has a secret power in his hands, That is, the mysterious organization in the mouth of the county king. ”

"You...... You are actually the descendants of Empress Li? Zhao Yan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, this result surprised him and made it reasonable, think about what happened to Li Yu in history, especially his wife Xiao Zhouhou was also controlled by Zhao Guangyi, a wife, Xu De's grandfather and son are Li Yu's descendants, no wonder they will take revenge by any means.

"Since I was sensible, I hoped that I could be born in an ordinary family, so that I didn't have to bear any national hatred and family hatred, let alone think about the unrealistic idea of returning to the country every day like those ancestors, but unfortunately it was not what people wanted, and I was forced to do something I didn't like to do every day, until my eldest brother secretly helped me, which allowed me to temporarily get out of that person's control and set up a home in Sheung Shui Zhuang, although it was not for a long time, but it was the happiest day of my life." Yan Yuru spoke again at this time, and when she talked about her days in Sheung Shui Village, a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Listening to Yan Yuru's self-description, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for the hard-working girl in front of her, if ordinary people had such an encounter with Yan Yuru, I am afraid that they would not be able to hold on for a long time, but Yan Yuru was very strong, which also made Zhao Yan admire her very much.

"By the way, since Xu Dezu is Kong's father and yours, then why did he attack Kong's Xiangji Temple, and killed so many monks, where is Kongkong now?" Zhao Yan suddenly thought of the empty matter at this time, and couldn't help but ask at the moment.

Yan Yuru shook his head at this time and said: "I don't know, but I guess the eldest brother should be fine, after all, he is different from me, as the only son of that person, the eldest brother also shoulders the responsibility of inheriting the bloodline for the family, so as long as the eldest brother has no children, that person should not hurt him." ”

"That's right, it shouldn't be okay, but what is the reason why their father and son turn against each other, Xu Dezu also used such cruel means to kill the people in the Xiangji Temple, which is a bit abnormal." Zhao Yan touched his chin at this time and said.

Yan Yuru also showed a contemplative expression when she heard this, and then she suddenly thought of something, and spoke again at the moment: "I remember that after seeing my eldest brother at school some time ago, he went to look for me again, and said that he wanted to make a break with that person, but he refused to tell me what he was going to do, wouldn't it be because of what the eldest brother wanted to do to that person that person was very angry, causing today's consequences, right?" ”

"That's how it should be, but the air is obviously a little too impulsive this time, and it is even likely that the plan failed, so the entire Xiangji Temple was destroyed." Zhao Yan also sighed when he heard this, and at the same time he also blamed himself a little, that day because of Princess Bao'an's matter, he let Sora make a choice, but Sora said that he would deal with it well, maybe it was because he was too tight that he made such a reckless thing in a hurry.

Yan Yuru saw Zhao Yan's self-reproachful appearance, thinking that he was worried about his brother, and his heart was also very moved, and he comforted softly at the moment: "Big brother, he should be fine, I feel that he may be locked up like us, and it is even likely to be in this underground palace, maybe it won't be long before we can see him." ”

Zhao Yan couldn't explain Yan Yuru's misunderstanding, so he had to smile wryly and nodded. Next, Zhao Yan wanted to inquire about some useful news about Xu Dezu from Yan Yuru, but unfortunately, although Yan Yuru was Xu Dezu's daughter, she had not come into contact with the core of this mysterious organization, and even the underground palace where they were located did not know anything, which made Zhao Yan a little disappointed, and she could only stay here with peace of mind for the time being.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a light footstep outside the door, and then the door was opened, and a girl walked in with her head down, and Yan Yuru couldn't help frowning when she saw the person who came in
