Seeing the emperor with such an expression, King Yan sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest clue on his face, but took the initiative to raise his hand to pour a cup of tea for the emperor, and filled his own cup.

He sipped the tea unhurriedly and said, "My brother knows what the imperial brother hates about Yaozhi. Over the years, you have never forgotten Mingzhu, and have always regarded her as one of the most special women in this life, but Yaozhi told you that Mingzhu regretted it before she died, and told her to treat Chonglin as her own and raise her, and would rather let him be a child of the Xiao family for the rest of his life than let him return to the royal family and fall into the hands of Empress Cao. The emperor hated Yaozhi for saying such a thing, ruining your good memories of Mingzhu over the years, so he couldn't tolerate her. ”

The emperor's expression had become a little dark: "Since you know, what are you talking about?!" "If it weren't for the emperor's younger brother King Yan and Xiao Mingde to stop him, he would have directly ordered someone to drag that cheap maid down and beat him to death! How unreasonable would he dare to tell him such a lie!

King Yan sighed: "The imperial brother will be angry, and it should be." It's just that...... Yaozhi is only loyal to Mingzhu in her life, and everything related to Mingzhu is completely invisible to others in her eyes. She and I would have that kind of night...... In fact, I also had suspicions, she was worried that I would hold a grudge because Mingzhu was attached to the royal brother and reneged on the marriage contract, so she used herself as a shield, so she took the initiative to find me. She has always treated me very well and helped me a lot. Once I find out that I have drunk and messed with sex and ruined her innocence, I will definitely try to compensate her, and because I am ashamed of Mingzhu, it is impossible to hate the friendship between the imperial brother and Mingzhu. In fact, she was not wrong, when I woke up early in the morning and realized what I had done, I no longer had the face to blame Mingzhu, and readily agreed to her request, and then returned to the border ......"

He looked up at the Emperor, and unsurprisingly noticed that the latter's face showed a little surprise, and his face softened again.

King Yan lowered his head, smiled slightly with satisfaction, and continued: "Looking back now, the situation at that time was developing in a good direction. As long as I successfully end the war at the border pass, return to Beijing and ask the first emperor to withdraw from the marriage and marry someone else, it is logical that Mingzhu, who is not bound by a marriage contract, will marry the emperor's brother. The first emperor may still think that it is me, the willful Hu Lai, who is my younger brother, and the imperial brother only included Mingzhu in the East Palace in order to deal with the aftermath for me. The first emperor would only praise the imperial brother for being a good brother, and he would not suspect anything. Even if the Cao family was dissatisfied, and the first emperor's holy decree pointed to marriage, she could not refuse. Who would have thought that the remnants of the enemy army would be so tenacious, and that the old troops of the two deceased imperial brothers were deliberately dragging me back, preventing me from making military exploits again, and adding bargaining chips to the imperial brother's longevity...... No one even thought that the Cao clan would find out about the courtyard where Mingzhu and Yaozhi lived in seclusion and secretly attack ......"

The emperor closed his eyes: "Don't say any more......"

King Yan paused for a moment and didn't say any more, but he still expressed what he really wanted to say: "My younger brother has been on the frontier all these years, and he has beaten the enemy to the ground, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to make a comeback in ten or twenty years." The imperial brother only needs to deploy some other means to prevent the enemy country from recovering its vitality, and in a few years, it may not be impossible to expand the territory. As for those who used to cause trouble for my brother...... Whether it is open or secret, there are almost all dead and wounded. My younger brother thought, how can the revenge of the year be half avenged, right? Mingzhu is like my little sister, I can breathe a sigh of relief for her, and in the future, under Jiuquan, I will also have the face to see her, so I will not be ashamed because I have neglected her flesh and blood over the years and failed to take good care of Chonglin. ”

The emperor sighed and nodded slightly, and the enmity of the other half was undoubtedly on Empress Cao and the Cao family. He was naturally responsible for this half of the revenge, but it was not until now that he officially began to take revenge. In terms of efficiency, he seems to be compared to his younger brother.

The emperor couldn't help coughing twice and looked at King Yan: "Okay, why did you talk about these past events?" If you want to intercede for Yaozhi, you don't have to be so verbose! ”

King Yan laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, brother Huang. My brother just wants to say that Yaozhi is only loyal to Mingzhu, and in order to avenge Mingzhu, she is not willing to follow me back to Yanwangfu to enjoy wealth and prosperity! She's such a personality, what do you care about her? What her brother can think of, she can naturally think of. Seeing that Mingzhu had a great future, but was destroyed by Empress Cao, how could she not hate? Since it is extremely hateful, where can it be orderly when it is said? My brother is not afraid to tell you the truth, after Mingzhu went, my brother was the first person to arrive at the other courtyard, so her last words, in fact, my brother heard it earlier than the royal brother. Mingzhu said something regretful, but it was not that he regretted being with the royal brother, but that he ...... Regret that I mistrusted someone! ”

The emperor thought that Xiao Mingzhu regretted believing himself wrongly, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he threw his sleeves: "Don't say it again!" ”

"Brother Huang, you misunderstood!" King Yan sighed heavily, "Actually...... Yaozhi may not have known about this, otherwise it would have exploded a long time ago. Xiao Mingde deliberately hid it from her, but he couldn't hide it from his younger brother. Mingzhu regretted his wrong belief, of course, not referring to the imperial brother, but to ...... The rest of the family! If the Xiao family hadn't leaked the news, how could the people of Queen Cao know that Mingzhu was raising a baby in another hospital? At that time, the news released by the General Zhuguo Mansion was just to show that Zhu was sick and needed to recuperate, but the place of recuperation was another Zhuangzi, and the farewell courtyard was at least dozens of miles away! ”

The emperor turned his head sharply: "What did you say?!" ”

King Yan looked up at him: "Brother Huang, haven't you ever suspected it all these years?!" Even in the General Zhuguo Mansion, not everyone knows that Mingzhu is raising a baby in another courtyard in the mountains. Her parents always thought that she was on Zhuangzi, and only Xiao Mingde and his henchmen knew! Even the supplies in the other courtyard were personally sent by Xiao Mingde with his henchmen. So secretive...... How could Empress Cao know that Mingzhu was there, and she could still send someone to break up the mountain with a murder weapon?!

"The whole mountain is the property of the Xiao family, and there are people guarding the bottom of the mountain. At that time, although General Xiao Lao did not lead the city guards, he also had tens of thousands of horses, and Xiao Mingde was concerned about the safety of Mingzhu, so he sent hundreds of people to guard under the mountain. The people of the Cao family are in charge of the southwest military power, and there are only 300 personal soldiers in the capital, who are either raised in the mansion or scattered in the Zhuangzi. Whenever you travel in large numbers, it will be eye-catching. Therefore, they broke up the mountain with only about 20 people. How did these twenty or so people avoid the eyes and ears of the hundreds of guards under the mountain and directly break into the courtyard?! Where did they know that there was a path in the back mountain that led directly to the side gate of the courtyard?! ”

The emperor looked angry: "You mean...... The Xiao family has an internal ghost?! Who is it?! Who betrayed the pearl?! ”

King Yan sighed: "My brother doesn't know...... My brother has been looking for many years, but he has never been able to get a definite answer. It's just that now that I look back, even if there is no evidence, it's not difficult to deduce, right? ”
