Chapter 766: Suspicion

Xie Mulin was in a daze for a long time.

Xiao Rui's life experience is complicated, and it is somewhat unexpected for her.

And in this complicated life story, there seem to be several doubts that she can't understand. Since she decided to marry Xiao Rui, she must figure out these suspicions, otherwise she will not be able to feel at ease no matter what.

She asked Xiao Rui solemnly: "Are all these things told to you by His Royal Highness King Yan and Aunt Li?" You just said that the two of them are a little different, and Aunt Li is much more detailed, so is there any contradiction in that? ”

Xiao Rui wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "I just felt full of doubts in my heart after listening to my aunt's narration, but my aunt explained it all to me. His Royal Highness King Yan...... What he said was very simple, but it was generally consistent with his aunt's words, but he didn't touch on Imajo and his father much...... General Xiao's complaints. My aunt's resentment is even greater, just talk to me in private, if you mention it in front of the palace, I'm afraid it will attract the dissatisfaction of the saint, right? ”

Xie Mulin asked again: "Since His Royal Highness King Yan has always thought that you are the emperor's flesh and blood, what ...... When did he find out that you were actually his son? He entered Beijing this time to discuss the matter of the heir with the emperor, is he actually here for you? ”

Xiao Rui said: "When His Royal Highness King Yan will know my identity, I don't know. But early this morning, my aunt dressed up and reported that Mrs. was going to the temple to pray for incense, and took me out, in fact, I made an appointment to meet His Royal Highness King Yan...... They talked behind closed doors for most of the day, but they didn't let me come closer, so I don't know what they talked about. After that, His Royal Highness King Yan said that he would take my aunt into the palace, and that he would report to the emperor on something very important, and let me go home and wait for news, and said that he would take good care of my aunt, so I don't have to worry. How could I not be worried? But my aunt only said that she wanted to inform the emperor of her aunt's last words before she died, just to be a witness, so I didn't stop her. ”

Afterwards, when he looked back, he could only guess that Aunt Li told King Yan his true life experience in this short meeting, and reached a consensus with King Yan. King Yan wants to enter the palace to face the saint, although the rhetoric needs to be revised, but the result is still about the same, and Aunt Li followed into the palace, naturally as the child's biological mother, to testify before the palace.

Xie Mulin remembered what Xie Huizhi had told him, and thought thoughtfully: "Later, when you were having dinner with your third brother, someone from the General Zhuguo Mansion suddenly came to look for you to go back, just because the news reached your house, right?" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head: "Actually, it's because after His Royal Highness King Yan and his aunt told the Holy Lord about the matter, the Holy Lord urgently summoned General Xiao into the palace for questioning, and there was no news until lunchtime." Madame heard that the attitude of the people in the palace was different, and she inquired that King Yan had brought my aunt with her when she entered the palace, and she was worried that my aunt had caused some trouble, so she ordered someone to find me back for questioning. Because in the morning, it was me who accompanied my aunt out of the house. ”

After he returned to the General's Mansion, he was scolded by his mother-in-law, Lu, for being bloody and having all kinds of ugly words. However, he was more worried about his father and Aunt Li at that time, and he didn't care so much, so he said hello and waited in front of the palace gate. He often went in and out of the palace since he was a child, and was quite familiar with the soldiers guarding the palace gate, and soon found out that there was no major event in the emperor's palace, although the emperor summoned King Yan and Xiao Mingde, but did not condemn anyone.

Xiao Rui simply stayed in front of the palace gate, waiting for his father and aunt to leave the palace, and finally waited for someone before the sun set in the evening.

Xiao Mingde and Aunt Li came out with His Royal Highness King Yan. Aunt Li's hairstyle was a little messy, there were some creases on her new clothes, her eyes were red and swollen, her voice was hoarse, and her spirit was a little sluggish, but she generally acted as usual and there was no major problem. His Royal Highness King Yan has always been very calm, but he just doesn't pay much attention to Xiao Mingde, so to speak, he is simply transparent.

King Yan greeted Xiao Rui with a smile, and directly asked him to sit in the same car with him, saying that he had something important to say to him. Xiao Rui obviously saw Xiao Mingde's expression and stopped, but he never opened his mouth to stop him, and Aunt Li signaled him to agree, so he listened and got into King Yan's car. Before arriving at the Zhuguo General's Mansion, he heard a brief version of the life story from the mouth of King Yan, which was nothing more than falling in love with the personal maid of his deceased fiancée, having a skin-to-skin relationship, promising to pick up people, but the maid was loyal to the old master, and the old lord died at the hands of Queen Cao, she wanted to stay in the capital to seek revenge, refused to leave with him, and he mistakenly thought that his son was dead, so he let her do what she wanted to do, and the result is that father and son recognize each other until today...... Yunyun.

Xiao Rui was shocked at the time, and King Yan didn't force him to call his father immediately, and asked him to go back and talk to Aunt Li, and pack his luggage as soon as possible, saying that he had already told the princess that he would take him back to the Yan Mansion in Beiping to live. The emperor also agreed, and he would order the Zongren Mansion to modify the imperial jade as soon as possible to clarify his identity.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage in a daze, and watched King Yan leave, and Xiao Mingde and Aunt Li also arrived home. When Lu saw her husband, she cried with joy, and pounced on Aunt Li to beat and scold Aunt Li, but was stopped by Xiao Mingde and scolded "Don't be rude"! Everyone was stunned at the time, but Xiao Rui understood that King Yan's words really didn't seem to be a joke.

Aunt Li calmly took her son back to her small courtyard. After freshening up, she called Xiao Rui to her side, retreated left and right, and told him a more detailed but bloody life story.

Aunt Li's statement and King Yan's statement can match, but the former has many details, and it also mentions the scandal of the saint's fornication with his brother's fiancée, so naturally it can't be made up. The tragic ending of King Yan and Aunt Li can be described as a mistake. Among them, Aunt Li's obsession with hatred overcomes her feelings for King Yan, and her attention to her son's future is an important factor, but on the other hand, Xiao Mingde, who is in the know, conceals and does not report it, and also bears an unshirkable responsibility.

What Xie Mulin couldn't understand was this: "If you say that you were ...... back then The saint knew that Miss Xiao's mother and son were dead, and he didn't know that King Yan and Aunt Li had children; King Yan mistakenly thought that his father and son were dead, and it was Miss Xiao and the son of the saint who survived, so he let him support the Xiao family in order to protect the child; Why did Aunt Li and General Xiao, who knew the truth, keep the secret for so many years?

If General Xiao stopped Aunt Li back then and let her be her concubine, but she has been in correspondence with King Yan's Mansion over the years, and it seems that she also has the freedom to enter and leave the General's Mansion, if she wants to see King Yan and tell the truth, it should not be difficult, but she has always remained silent. If she said that she was trying to deceive the saint, saying that you were the son of Miss Xiao, so that the saint could deal with Queen Cao and the Cao family, now the saint also knows that Miss Xiao's mother and son died because of Queen Cao, and she has been preparing to clean up the Cao family in recent years, and Aunt Li's revenge plan is meaningless? Why is she hiding your true origins? ”

and Xiao Mingde, if he concealed the truth back then for the sake of the emperor's stable position, then after the imperial power overwhelmed the power of the Cao family and the emperor no longer had to be controlled by others, why did he continue to raise Xiao Rui as a concubine? The Yan Wangfu has no heirs for many years, which is already an old problem. He raised the son of King Yan, but let his nephew be the heir of King Yan? What kind of operation is this?!
