Chapter 60: The Truth
Coming out of Lanqin Hall, Wanyue ran out of the gate of Diling Academy before the graduation ceremony was over, and he wanted to tell his mother the news that he had become a disciple of Jialan as soon as possible.
There were nearly six miles from the main gate of the academy to the west street of the Imperial Palace, and the waning moon ran wildly all the way, and with a new identity, he finally no longer had to fear the pursuit of any force.
Wanyue's mother is called Su Chuan'e, before she met Wanyue's father, she was the half-sister of Xia Siqin, Queen of Roy, Xia Siqin is none other than the biological mother of Princess Lu Yao of Roy.
Since her legs froze two years ago, Su Chuan'e has been confined to a wheelchair for mobility, and although her stall is located in the middle of the city, her daily business is not very good.
Rushed to West Street, Wanyue saw Xingluo sitting in front of his mother's stall eating from a distance, he quickly stopped and hid aside, before leaving the academy, he saw with his own eyes that Xingluo was still accompanying his partners to continue to participate in the graduation ceremony, and in a blink of an eye, he actually arrived in front of his mother's stall one step ahead of himself.
"Auntie, the dim sum you made is so delicious." Xingluo said with a smile.
"It's good if the little boy likes it." Su Chuan'e smiled, because Xingluo was also wearing the graduation dress of Diling Academy, Su Chuan'e was extremely enthusiastic about this son's fellow disciple: "Isn't today the graduation ceremony of Diling Academy?" How did the little boy have the leisure to come here? ”
"The festival is almost over, I can't stay, so I came out early, count the time, the waning moon should be almost here." Xingluo replied.
"Little boy knows my waning moon?" Su Chuan'e smiled.
Xingluo nodded: "Auntie, you don't have to call me as a little boy, I'm Leng Yening, a good friend of Wanyue, just call me by my name." ”
"Satsuki never told me he had friends at Diling Academy."
"Wanyue is very popular in the academy, and his teachers and fellow disciples like him very much."
"Really? This kid never talks to me about the academy ......"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Wanyue felt a lot in his heart, he knew that Xingluo would never come to visit Su Chuan'e's stall just for a snack, but he didn't dare to come forward to ask, so he had to hide and watch.
Xingluo stayed at the stall for about a quarter of an hour before leaving, and a quarter of an hour was just enough time for him to extract the important things in Su Chuan'e's memory.
It turned out that the group of people who chased and killed Su Chuan'e's family were all killers from Roy, they were all employed by the current queen Xia Siqin, from Su Chuan'e's memory, Xingluo saw a shocking secret, Su Chuan'e had thrown a newborn baby to Dongmian Mountain in the water night seventeen years ago, the baby's biological mother was called Murong Huangxi, who was Roy's former queen, and died of serious illness many years ago.
Seventeen years ago, Murong Huangxi, who was the queen, and Xia Siqin, the princess at the time, were pregnant successively, because the Roy royal family had regulations, regardless of gender, the throne would be inherited by the eldest son, at that time, Murong Huangxi's child was born three days earlier than Xia Siqin's child, just when the royal family was preparing to canonize the queen's child as the crown prince, the accident came, the eldest princess died because of her frailty, and the crown prince was inherited by Lu Yao, the second princess born to Xia Siqin.
But the truth is far more than that, Murong Huangxi's child did not die at that time, but was taken away by Su Chuan'e, Su Chuan'e originally received the order to drown the baby, but she couldn't do it, so she fled from the Roy Palace with the baby overnight, and Xia Siqin, who knew the news, sent many killers to chase them down, but they all failed. Later, Su Chuan'e came to Shuiye and was afraid that the goal of taking the child would be too big, so she took it upon herself to abandon the child in Dongmian Mountain.
The next year, 24-year-old Su Chuan'e met the father of the waning moon, and it didn't take long for the waning moon to have it, she thought that this matter would pass like this, but Xia Siqin did not give up, she claimed that "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!" In just twelve years, she has sent killers to chase and kill Su Chuan'e nine times, fortunately, the cultivation of Wanyue's father is good, and she has successfully escaped with her wife and children many times, but the last time she was not so lucky, the last time, Xia Siqin sent all the killers of Gao Xiuwei, and Wanyue's father finally died at the hands of the killer after desperate resistance.
This incident left a great shadow in Wanyue's heart, and his cultivation increased by several levels in two years.
Back at Diling Academy, Xingluo's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, seventeen years ago, in Dongmian Mountain, if the time and place were not a coincidence, then Qian Xun'er was probably the baby who was abandoned by Su Chuan'e back then.
In the past two years, under the careful teaching of Nie Hanxiang, Qian Xun'er's cultivation has advanced to the first-level Holy Spirit, since Mo Wanchen no longer prevents her from meeting with Xingluo, the number of meetings between the couple has become more and more frequent, if it weren't for Su Chuan'e's appearance, Xingluo would not have thought that his sweetheart, who had been in love for many years, might be Roy's eldest princess, that is, Roy's real crown prince.
But these are just speculations, after seventeen years, Su Chuan'e has no idea what the discarded girl has become now, or maybe she has frozen to death in Dongmian Mountain as early as seventeen years ago.
On the same day, Emperor Ling Wang Cheng and Emperor Ling Academy issued a notice at the same time, and Emperor Ling Academy's graduate Wan Yue was rude to Emperor Concubine Wang Shixue at the graduation ceremony, and his cultivation has been abolished and he has left Emperor Concubine within one day.
In the afternoon of the same day, Su Chuan'e's stall on West Street was demolished by the imperial concubine soldiers in public, and her and Wanyue's temporary residence in the royal city was also guarded by the soldiers, prohibiting any people from entering or leaving, all of this was clearly seen by the dead killers lurking around the imperial concubine royal city, they planned to take Su Chuan'e directly away from the stall as a diner, but the imperial concubine royal city was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for them to have a chance to start, until the notice was issued, they felt that their opportunity had finally come.
At this time, Su Chuan'e was staying in the small courtyard of Xingluo's house with her son Wanyue, since Mo Huaiyu moved back to Bingxuan Tiandu, this small courtyard has been vacant for a long time, although the small courtyard is not in the palace of the emperor, it is the safest place in the entire royal city.
In the evening, Wanyue was practicing swords under the snow cherry tree in the small courtyard, and the entire courtyard had been cleaned up spotlessly by Su Chuan'e, from the first time he saw the snow cherry tree, he was deeply attracted by these white petals
"Ye Ning, are you here to see the waning moon?" Su Chuan'e's voice suddenly came from the front yard.
"Auntie, I'm here for dinner."
Hearing the voice, Wanyue paused, and hurriedly stopped his sword and ran to the front yard, the person who came was none other than Xingluo and Hua Zui.
"You...... How did you get here? Wanyue was surprised.
Xingluo smiled indifferently: "What?" Don't you welcome me? ”
Wanyue stood in place, bowed her head slightly, and said, "This is originally your place, and my mother and I are already disturbed here." ”
"The courtyard is empty anyway, your mother lives here, at least you don't have to worry about his safety, even if Queen Roy has a big heart, I'm afraid she won't dare to send people around here rashly."
"Queen Roy? What do you already know? Wanyue said in a daze.
"All I can grasp is limited to your mother's memories, and there are some things she may never have told you, such as her identity."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Chuan'e's expression became nervous, and she pulled Wanyue to her side and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyue, who is this friend of yours?" Why did he know Queen Roy? ”
For seventeen years, she had never told anyone, including her husband and son, about being Queen Roy's sister.
Before Wanyue could speak, Xingluo had already spoken: "I am not familiar with Queen Roy, and I have never even met. ”
"Then how do you know that the queen sent those who are chasing me? Who the hell are you? ”
Xingluo smiled faintly, "Auntie, you don't have to be nervous, the matter of the waning moon in the future will be my business, I didn't know what happened to him before, but now that I know, I naturally won't ignore it, not to mention that this matter involves more than just your family......" Xingluo didn't say anything more after saying half of his words, and he didn't plan to involve Qianxun'er until the matter was completely clear.
Su Chuan'e shook her head, "Ye Ning, Auntie can see that you really want to help Wanyue, but the person behind Queen Roy is definitely not something you can afford to mess with." ”
Xingluo knew who Su Chuan'e was talking about, in addition to Su Chuan'e's half-sister, Xia Siqin also had a half-brother named Xia Juechen, Xia Juechen is 46 years old this year, cultivated to the fourth-level super holy spirit, and is the highest disciple of Qingdai's sect.
"I finally know why Lu Yao dared to be so arrogant in front of me, it turns out that there is such a relationship." Xingluo snorted coldly.
"Lu Yao? Is the person you just mentioned the eldest princess Roy? ”
Xingluo smiled indifferently: "Who else can there be besides her, she didn't pass the Jialan assessment at that time, she may not know how much she hates me afterwards." ”
"I heard that she is notoriously arrogant and domineering in Roy, and whoever wants to anger her will have to lose her skin if she doesn't die." Su Chuan'e said.
Xingluo sneered: "According to what you say, I'm afraid I would have been slashed hundreds of times by a thousand knives in her heart." ”
As soon as she heard Xingluo's words, Su Chuan'e became even more anxious: "Xiaoyue, quickly persuade your friend, we understand his kindness, let him not act rashly." ”
Wanyue came to her mother's side and said softly, "Mom, it turns out that there are so many secrets hidden in your heart, if it weren't for him, I might never know your true identity." ”
"Can you tell Mom who this friend of yours really is? Why does he know everything? ”
Wanyue glanced at Xingluo and said to his mother, "He can read minds, and in front of him, no one has secrets. ”
"What? Mind reading? Su Chuan'e was shocked, although she was not a monk, but just hearing these three words had already surprised her.
Wanyue nodded slowly: "Mom, he will help us, and when the whole thing is resolved, we can live a peaceful life, and at that time, we will no longer have to worry about being hunted down." ”
"Resolved? How to solve the problem? Su Chuan'e asked suddenly.
Xingluo's gaze moved to the snow cherry tree in the backyard, then turned around and said slowly: "If it is confirmed that Queen Roy is indeed suspected of murdering the daughter of the original queen, she will be deposed as Queen Roy at the least, and sentenced to life imprisonment at worst, including her daughter Lu Yao, who will also be revoked as the crown prince of Roy." ”
Su Chuan'e took two steps back, "Aren't you afraid that her brother will pursue it?" ”
Xingluo said with a displeased face: "When do I need to see the eyes of the Thousand Shadow Clan when I need to deal with household affairs!" ”
Su Chuan'e didn't know what else to say, the only thing she could conclude was that the young man in front of her must have a lot of background.
At this moment, Su Chuan'e prepared dinner for a few people in the back kitchen, and after Xingluo made a cup of snow cherry blossom tea, he came to the backyard alone to play the gonghou, at this moment, all he thought about was Qianxun'er, if Xun'er was really Princess Roy, he could justifiably marry her back to Bingxuan Tiandu.
