Chapter 161: See the Man in the Painting Again (2)

Xia Rui stood behind Yun Xiao and called softly, "Xiao Er......"

Yun Xiao came back to his senses at this time, turned his head to look at Xia Rui, and smiled: "Your Majesty, are you ......here?"

Xia Rui took the scroll from Yun Xiao's hand, and while looking at it carefully, he said:

"Xiao'er, thank you, I finally see this painting again, it's so good......"

Yun Xiao's heart overflowed with sadness, she gently held Xia Rui's sleeve, and said:

"Your Majesty, no matter what the truth is, it is all the grievances and grievances that belong to the previous generation, everything is over, don't be too sad, don't hurt yourself......"

When Xia Rui heard this, his expression was suddenly shocked:

"Xiao'er, you've found something, right? Don't hide it from me, whatever the truth is, I want to know and must know! ”

He said very firmly, Yun Xiao knew that there were some things that he tried his best to hide, and it was useless, there was always a lot of helplessness in life, fortunately, she could accompany Xia Rui to face it.

At this moment, she nodded lightly at Xia Rui and said:

"Your Majesty, the concubines did find out some things, but they were not complete. This matter is very important, involving the former emperor, and the concubines dare not dare to speculate privately, so they can only truthfully tell the emperor what they have found. ”

"Xiao'er, just say it, no matter what you find, I believe you and I won't blame you."

In fact, Yun Xiao was just worried about Xia Rui's heartbreak, as Xia Rui's wife, she always thinks about the other party more than herself, she suppressed the floating thoughts in her heart, took a deep breath, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the woman on the painting you are holding now is the princess who sent our Great Xia Kingdom to our relatives more than 30 years ago, according to the concubines, this Loulan princess was going to marry the first emperor at that time, but the bizarre thing is that she died in the East Palace on the night of the wedding, and in a very short time after she went, the Loulan Kingdom launched a war on the western border of our Great Xia Kingdom, and was finally destroyed by our Great Xia Kingdom. At that time, there were different opinions within the court about the undeclared war of the Loulan Kingdom, and many people said that the sudden war of Loulan had something to do with the Loulan princess, but there was no relevant record left in the history books of the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

After listening to Yun Xiao's words, Xia Rui couldn't help but look at the woman in the painting again, although she was from a foreign land, she was so beautiful that she was moving.

Not long after a while, Xia Rui looked at Yun Xiao again and asked:

"This Princess Loulan...... How did you die? Who killed her? ”

Yun Xiao shook his head, frowned and said:

The concubine didn't know who killed her...... She's like a mystery, coming and going......"

Xia Rui looked at the painting in his hand again, this time, he actually made a new discovery, and he said in great surprise:

"This is my father's ink treasure...... This painting was not painted by a painter in the palace, but by his father! ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he hurriedly came up to see: "Your Majesty, how do you know?" "Scales

Xia Rui pointed to the location of the signature on the painting and said to Yun Xiao:

"Xiao'er, look here, there is a half-moon-shaped 'Bai' character written in cursive, this character is the name of the father, and this kind of 'Bai' character can only be written by the father, and only those who are familiar with the manuscript of the father can recognize it. Therefore, I am very sure that this painting is from the hand of my father. ”

"That's ...... so"

Sure enough, only those who were particularly close to the emperor could really "enter" the heart of the emperor.

Therefore, if Yun Xiao wants to find out what happened between the former emperor and Princess Loulan, and how it involved his grandfather, he must rely on Xia Rui's help.

Yun Xiao never thought that in the end, Xia Rui would become the most important link on her way forward, and she thought that she could bypass Xia Rui and complete everything.

No wonder, when she was on Hongyu Mountain, the master said after divining a hexagram for her that if she wanted to succeed in her rich life, she needed the help of a nobleman, and this nobleman was likely to be Xia Rui.

It turned out that in the dark, God had already paved the way for her.

At this moment, Yun Xiao heard Xia Rui say again: "I have never seen Princess Loulan on this painting, and I have never heard my father and mother mention it, according to the time you just said, it is very likely that she came to the Great Xia Kingdom before my mother and concubine entered the palace, and she looks so similar to my mother, so ...... So ......"

Speaking of this, Xia Rui's whole body couldn't stop trembling, and at this moment, he felt that his soul had been out of control and was dancing violently in midair.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao was extremely distressed, she hugged Xia Rui's arm hard, and eagerly comforted:

"Your Majesty, you listen to your concubines...... It's not what you think, the father actually loves Concubine Rou, he has Concubine Rou in his heart, even if he originally doted on Concubine Rou and had Princess Loulan in it, but, as the two of them spent more and more time together, the father had gradually given his sincerity, otherwise, he would not have sealed all these things in Weiyang Palace and would not let anyone get close to them...... He is reluctant to Princess Loulan, that is because the death of Princess Loulan has not been investigated until now, which has become a knot in his heart, but he is also afraid that Concubine Rou will see these things, he cares, he loves ......"

However, at this moment, no matter how much comfort there is, it is too pale here in Xia Rui.

Xia Rui's hand holding the scroll trembled more and more intensely, he could no longer control it and fell to the ground, tears filled his face, and he cried out uncontrollably:

"Mother...... Mother ...... Mother ...... I really couldn't have imagined that my mother would leave me like this, and she would actually ...... She actually left me and Ronghui because of a woman who had passed away a long time ago, but at that time, Ronghui was not yet an adult......"

Yun Xiao saw him crying like this, and he also cried together.

At this moment, the husband and wife sat on the floor of this empty dormitory, helpless and helpless.

I don't know how long I sat like this, Xia Rui, who had recovered from his sadness, suddenly looked at Yun Xiao with a sharp gaze, and asked gloomily:

"You said just now that these things were blocked in Weiyang Palace by my father back then, didn't you?"

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, but nodded truthfully.

Here, Xia Rui continued:

"I still remember that my father asked my mother to swear that she could not continue to investigate the matter of Loulan...... Since the father and emperor are bent on hiding from the mother concubine, then, in the end, who told the mother about the matter of Princess Loulan? Who was so ruthless and asked for the life of the concubine?! ”
