Chapter 215: That Man Is Him
The queen mother took off her luxurious Zhai clothes and phoenix hairpins in Renshou Palace, put on cloth clothes and jingchai, pretended to be palace envoys, and went straight to Cheng'en Mansion when she left the palace.
Xiao Dezong, the Duke of Cheng'en, was already uneasy because of Xiao Qingchu's incident in Renshou Palace.
Seeing the Queen Mother herself with a gloomy face during a private interview with Weifu, I finally realized that something might have happened.
As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she didn't wait for Cheng En to speak publicly, and asked directly: "Big brother, the house is so bold, you dare to be involved in the case of poisoning King Yi and the emperor, and the mourning family doesn't want your life anymore!" ”
Xiao Dezong, the Duke of Cheng'en, has always ignored mundane affairs, although he is old, he is very well maintained, with a childish face, wearing a homely brocade robe, looking fairy-like.
However, at this moment, when he heard the Queen Mother's words, his expression was extremely nervous.
"What? Poison the emperor?! ”
He was at a loss: "Queen Mother, where to start with this." Poisoning King Yi was done by Xiao Baiyuan, and it is true...... Reason. can poison the emperor, this, this is impossible, he is young...... How could it be ......"
"You really don't know about the assassination of the emperor?" The Queen Mother looked at him.
Xiao Dezong hurriedly shook his head: "I really don't know." ”
The Queen Mother frowned, and a pair of eyes stared at him.
"The palace maid who assassinated the emperor in the Taiji Hall burned the meat wings of the bat bird in the incense burner, how can this be explained? The mourning family remembers that back then, my father and you clearly told the mourning family that Bai Yi and those bat birds had all been disposed of, and if they were disposed of, how could the bat birds come back from the dead? ”
When Xiao Dezong heard this, he was shocked.
"In the Taiji Palace, the assassination of the emperor was done with bats and bat birds?"
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed.
Her eldest brother, she knows best.
Only when the heart is weak, will the speech be stumbling.
"Smack-"
The Queen Mother slapped heavily on the small table.
"Do you know that King Yi has physical evidence in his hand, and he also said that a while ago, the Western Hungarian division came to attack, and there were also bat birds manipulating the poisonous slaves. The emperor has ordered King Yi to investigate this matter thoroughly, and now all the piles are pointed at the head of the Cheng'en Mansion, if you don't give an answer before the day after tomorrow, do you know what the Mansion will face?! Big brother, so far, what are you still hiding from your mourning family! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Dezong, the old Chengen Gong, collapsed directly on the ground with weak legs.
He looked at the Queen Mother with a dead face: "Niangniang...... Back then, I was confused, leaving a bat bird and a bane, this time...... I'm afraid something big is going to happen this time! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"What the hell is going on, hurry up and talk to the mourning family!"
"Hey!"
Cheng Engong repented and hammered his fist on the ground at the beginning, his heart was numb, and he lowered his head to hide his erratic eyes.
To tell, or not to tell?
For him at this moment, it is a difficult choice.
At this point, he already knew what the man was going to do, and this choice was related to the future of the Cheng'en Mansion.
If you tell the Queen Mother truthfully, what if something goes wrong......
Cheng Engong thought of this, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
Can't tell the Queen Mother.
Since he has been persecuted by that man to this point, he has long been unable to turn back.
Only when a road goes to the dark can we forever maintain the century-old foundation of Changfang and prosper forever.
Seeing that Xiao Dezong didn't speak for a long time, the Queen Mother hated the iron and said: "It's all here, you still don't plan to tell the mourning family?" Do you want to die in a hurry?
What is the bane? Why are bat birds alive? Even if the mourning family doesn't investigate, if the emperor knows about this matter, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly, what kind of person King Yi is, it is definitely not something you can fool the past.
Since Da Xi'er went, the most reassuring thing for the mourning family is your family and Zhan'er, do you want to let the mourning family still watch you leave the mourning family one by one at this age? ”
Hearing the Queen Mother mention King Rui, Xiao Dezong's low-hanging and fluttering old eyes flashed in an instant.
Pregnant.
He sighed heavily, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was ashamed to say: "When the matter was revealed, Bai Yi entrusted his daughter Bai Ling to me before he died, Bai Ling is a descendant of the Bai family, as long as there is a recipe for the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Soup, you can use her blood to renew people's lives."
Me too...... It was also a moment of confusion that he became greedy and raised Bai Ling in Xishan Zhuangzi.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years ago, Bai Ling and the bat bird were taken away from Zhuangzi and have not been heard from since.
After the Battle of Yunjiang, I got a tip-off...... I heard that Bai Ling took the batbird to join the Western Hungarian Division, and almost let King Yi lose his life. Later, Bai Ling was beheaded by King Yi outside the city...... I thought that this was the end of the matter......
But he never expected that taking away Bai Ling's person would not only kill King Yi, but also kill ...... Emperor.
Now it seems that even if Bai Yuan died, it would be useless. That person, that person wants me to accept the Grace Mansion and bury him with him! ”
Cheng Engong said this, nine points are true, and one point is false.
Especially when it comes to "the man", his face is as pale as paper, and his withered hands on the ground tremble.
It seems that he is extremely afraid, and indeed he is extremely afraid.
It's just that the person he is afraid of, only he knows who it is.
The Queen Mother has never seen her eldest brother, and she is afraid of becoming like this.
"Who's that man?" She asked in a deep voice, "Who took Bai Ling, and who is it...... Want the Chengen Mansion to accompany him to the funeral? ”
Cheng Engong lowered his head, his eyes flashing.
He was silent for a few breaths, as if he had made up his mind, raised his slightly dim old eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother faintly.
"Yes...... It's King Rui. He said in a trembling voice: "The dead King Rui, the King of Rui who has become a ghost, your most beloved son - Chu Tianxi." ”
"What did you say?" The Queen Mother sat up quickly: "How can it be a heavenly seal?" The Cullinan had already ...... fifteen years ago."
Cheng Engong looked at her and shook his head: "He's not dead." He survived after jumping off a cliff, and then defected to West Hungary, where he is now the division of the West Hungary. ”
This news shocked the Queen Mother to the extreme.
She covered her heart, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
"You say...... Cullinan, I didn't ...... Not dead? ”
She asked in a trembling voice in disbelief: "Then why didn't he come back, why didn't he see the mourning family?" The mourning family thought that he was dead, and washed his face with tears all day long, but he knew that the mourning family was so sad for him that it was almost ...... Why did he hide, why did he flee to Western Hungary to be a national teacher? ”
Cheng Engong's eyes flashed again.
He sighed: "When Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen, the sage suspected that he had a heart of disobedience, and then ...... On top of the ceremony, he met an assassin. If it weren't for the last moment, he blocked an arrow for the saint and fell off the cliff, and the Rui Wangfu was afraid that he would have been killed by the saint for the crime of rebellion.
King Rui has been favored by the first emperor and Niangniang since he was born, and there has long been a dispute between the saint and him, and he died for the saint to block the arrow, and he can also exchange the saint for a trace of mercy......
Mother, don't you understand it so far? There is no room for sand in the eyes of the saint, he has to die if he does not die! ”
"No...... It won't be like this......"
The Queen Mother shook her head in disbelief, tears falling down: "They are all my own sons, the palms and backs of their hands are my flesh and blood, they have always been brothers, friends and brothers, how can they kill each other, they won't ...... Not ......"
Cheng Engong sighed again.
He said sadly: "Niangniang, the matter has come to this...... It's also my own doing. Back then, I was to blame, after he jumped off a cliff and survived, he came to me for help. That's when I ...... I was so timid that I only sent someone to take him outside the gate. Now he has come to seek revenge on the saints, and he has done these things, and he has planted them on the head of our Cheng'en Mansion, also to vent his anger......"
