Lin Long replied: "It wasn't until the day Xiao Yi passed away that I didn't know why she fell in love with Liu Ying alone. ”

Shu'er frowned and said, "Why? ”

Lin Long asked rhetorically: "Why is it until the day Xiao Yi passed away?" Or why does she fall in love with Liu Ying alone? ”

Shu'er said, "It doesn't hurt to talk about any of them first. ”

Lin Long looked at the vast jade river, only to feel that for twenty years, time was like flowing water. The couple who fell in love with each other was drowned in the long river of history after all, and they were also drowned in the mistakes and omissions of gossip.

"When Xiao Yi passed away, Escape and your Granny Lu were in Suhua Palace, right next to her. The last few words she said to the trace, your Granny Lu heard it very clearly, and told me all when she came back. ”

"What did Xiao Niangniang say?"

Lin Long said: "I can't remember her original words clearly, but the meaning is probably that she and Liu Ying have actually known each other for a long time." I guess that it was probably when Liu Ying had not yet ascended the throne as the king of Song, when he was still the idle second son of the Song Kingdom, he went to Fanjing of Chen State and saw the first dancing girl in Fanjing. At that time, they were still a pair of talented and beautiful people, and there must be a story between them that is not known to the world. Otherwise, how could an assassin easily be tempted by his enemies? ”

Before Xiao Yi died, she also gave a luminous white jade ring that she treasured to Dunji, saying that it was the only token she could leave to her son in this life. I heard that the kind of Qi white jade that can shine at night is more valuable than the rainbow beads given to me by Master Zhuge . After Qi's death, she was just the dancing queen of Chen Guo, where did she get such a precious treasure? And why did she say with her last breath that it was a token she left for her son? Therefore, most of the jade ring was given to her by Liu Ying in her early years in Chen Guo, and it was their initial love. ”

Shu'er thought that at the wedding banquet in Yihui Shu Palace, her father-in-law gave each of them a wedding gift. What was given to her was the diamond jade engraved plum and small jade hairpin in her hair bun, and what she gave to her husband was a luminous white jade ring. Since the token has not been given, it seems that the father-in-law has indeed delayed telling him his calm life experience. But I don't know, has he learned now?

Shu'er was about to point to her black jade hairpin and tell her mother about the two congratulatory gifts of the luminous Qi white jade ring and the engraved plum diamond jade hairpin, only to see that Lin Long had already looked at her hairpin.

Lin Long sighed: "Your Granny Lu also said that after Xiao Yi took her breath, she took out a black jade hairpin from her bun, and left the White Jade Palace with her child in her arms. Come to think of it, the vajra jade hairpin on your head was given to you by the trace, right? ”

Shu'er took the jade hairpin from her head, played with it in her hand, nodded and smiled, "Yes." My mother is so smart, no wonder I'm smart too, Xiao Dongfang is also smart. ”

Lin Long looked at Shu'er seriously and admonished: "It's good to be smart, but sometimes, pretending to be confused is the best way to protect yourself." ”

Shu'er heard her mother's tone very calmly, exactly the same feeling as when she handed the poisoned wine to her brother that day. She lowered her eyebrows and pondered......

My mother said—

"When Xiao Yi passed away, he ......"

"Xiao Yi ...... before he died"

"After Xiao Yi breathed, ......"

Shu'er suddenly clenched the black jade hairpin, and the cold to her bones made her shiver.

Her tone was cold: "Mother is really smart...... So smart that I've been pretending to be confused......"

Lin Long frowned instantly. It turns out that this is the good daughter I gave birth to. Before I could say anything, she had already guessed the clue!

Lin Long didn't plan to tell Shu'er, at least not in a hurry for these days, at least until Shu'er's injuries were healed...... But at this time, Shu'er was looking at herself with sad eyes.

Lin Long let out a long sigh and said, "Shu'er, now you understand, why does your mother have to ruthlessly let you cut off the relationship with your inconsiderate husband?" ”

Shu'er smiled bitterly: "Do you think that the names of the two of us are not written on our marriage book?" But how should it be written? Liu Ying and Dongfang Shu? But how do we know our origins at that time? Or Zhuge calmly and Liu Shu? But it's still a false name! ”

Mother, since you are pretending to be confused, I don't want to force you to tell the truth. Because, you are probably afraid to admit it, but I am more afraid than you. I'm afraid to hear from you the truth that I don't want to hear in my life!

Both mother and daughter turned their heads, not daring to look each other's eyes. Because they know that there are some things, once they are clearly said, there is no going back.

But Shu'er has listened to the gossip for more than ten years, and she doesn't want to live in lies as always. She knows that pretending to be confused can only solve a temporary emergency, but it can't solve a lifetime's mistakes.

There was silence for a long time, and only the sound of the Jade River was heard.

Shu'er said calmly: "Mother, is Xiao Niangniang the victim of the Empress Dowager Qiao Feng?" The Lord of Zhuge Island was mixed into the Tai Hospital back then, even if he was not skilled in medicine, with his ability, it was impossible for him to stop the Qiao clan forces who were most likely to murder Xiao Niangniang. ”

Lin Long looked into the distance and was silent.

"Mother, when Xiao Niangniang died, among the people who accompanied her, who knew the most about medical skills?"

"Mother, when you know that Xiao Niangniang's child is not the owner of Zhuge Island...... When you deduced that there was actually another unforgettable relationship between King Song Huai and Xiao Niangniang......

"Mother, King Song Huai is not a faint king, and his maternal family, the Qiao clan of Song Guo, is very powerful. If you want to restrain the continued expansion of your strong neighbor Song State, and if you want to keep the declining Chu State...... What's the best thing to do? ”

Lin Long finally turned around, only to see that her daughter was already in tears.

Shu'er said sadly: "The best way is to divide the power of King Song Huai and his mother's clan!" The best way is to borrow Qiao Feng's hand and kill King Song Huai's beloved woman! But you're worried that Qiao Feng's manpower won't be able to harm Xiao Niangniang at all, so Chu Guo's fine work is the one behind it! Granny Lu is the murderer who killed Xiao Niangniang! ”

Lin Long wanted to explain, but people can't be resurrected after death, so what's the use of explaining?

Shu'er's hand was still tightly clutching the Momei jade hairpin, and blood had already come out of his palm. Her tone was solemn and sad: "My mother is the culprit who killed my husband's biological mother. No wonder...... No wonder you let me cut ties with my husband. No wonder, there is a crack in our silk wedding book! ”

Seeing his daughter so sad, Lin Long couldn't help but cry sadly. She whispered, "Shu'er, you don't have to let him know about this matter......"

Shu'er suddenly stood up from the deck, lowered her head and asked Lin Long, "Who else knows about this matter except for my mother?" Who else was involved in the scheme? ”

Lin Long said calmly: "Your uncle, King Sheng...... And your dad. ”

Shu'er sneered. The first strategist of the Chu State, the first meticulous work of the Chu State...... They are my parents.

She asked, "What did my dad say?" ”

Lin Long replied calmly: "Your father said that if you break up a pair of Biren, you can easily stop the expansion of the Song State and exchange the lives of tens of millions of innocent soldiers of the Chu State, then those who don't do this are the sinners of the ages."
