Xiao Yulin then spoke: "There are no outsiders here, let's talk!" ”

Liao Xiangbin said: "I am the guard next to the former prince. ”

Subsequently, Liao Xiangbin talked about the past.

"Back then, the former prince went on a tour to Liangzhou, and the local officials entertained the former prince in the mansion and invited several singers and dancers to perform in the mansion, and Wanyu was one of them. At that time, the former prince took a fancy to Wanyu, so he had a personal relationship. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "It's just that the former prince has always been famous, but now he has an affair with a singer on the way out, which is extremely bad for both the reputation of the former prince and the former princess." So, the former prince bought a house in Liangzhou, ransomed Wanyu, and planned to wait until he returned to Beijing before sending someone to take Wanyu into the mansion. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "At that time, the former prince ordered me to take care of Wanyu. It wasn't long before Wanyu found out that she was pregnant. And this matter was so big that Wanyu didn't dare to tell others, so she only told me. So, I asked Wanyu to repair a book, and I found the former prince with the letter and asked the former prince to cut it. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "When the former prince heard this, he told me that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible, and then take Wanyu into the prince's mansion." Before that, it is not allowed to leak Wanyu's pregnancy, so as not to cause more trouble. However, when the former crown prince returned to Beijing...... The crown prince ...... was ordered by the first emperor to raid his house and be imprisoned, and soon after he was ......"

Liao Xiangbin: "When I heard this rumor, I suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly took Wanyu to my hometown to settle down, that is, this village." ”

Liao Xiangbin: "I was alone when I was young, and then I wandered around alone, and the people in the village didn't know where I made a living. I told the people in the village that I had made some money by doing business outside and had found a daughter-in-law. But then the luck was bad, and I lost money, and I knew that it was not the material for business, and it was better to return to my hometown to farm. So, I demolished the old house and rebuilt three tiled houses. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "During that period of time, the world was shaken, and Wanyu and I lived in fear for many years. Fortunately, I had some savings at that time, and the former prince also left a sum of money to Wanyu, and we occasionally gave some small favors to the villagers, but they didn't embarrass us. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "Wanyu's appearance is outstanding, in order to reduce trouble, I asked her to usually show off without makeup, and try to dress herself up ugly." I had been farming for a few years, but it wasn't enough for my family to sustain, so I found some work in a nearby town. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "At the beginning, Wanyu and I were both husband and wife. Later, we had Zhen'er, and I loved her very much and treated her as my own daughter. is also because she is the only bloodline left by the former prince. Wanyu and I got along day and night, and we also had feelings. After the former prince's three-year filial piety period, Wanyu and I became a real husband and wife. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "In the past few years, no one has mentioned the matter of the former prince, and I originally thought that our family would be able to pass peacefully in this life. Didn't expect ......"

Liao Xiangbin: "Sure enough, there is still no impermeable wall in the world. Today, the prince happened to come to my house, and this matter was discovered by the prince. Now that the situation has been decided, and the matter of the former prince has gone with the dust, please ask the prince to be merciful and let Zhen'er live! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "It is also God who has eyes, so that the former prince still has some blood. ”

Liao Xiangbin looked at Zhong Yuqi again, and then at Xiao Yulin, guessing that Zhong Yuqi's identity and status were a little unusual, as if Xiao Yulin valued him very much. If you plead with Zhong Yuqi, maybe this thing can be done?

So, Liao Xiangbin kept kowtowing to Zhong Yuqi and said, "Miss is a good person, please ask Miss to intercede with the prince for me, let Zhen'er have a way to live!" Zhen'er she's still young, she doesn't understand anything, she doesn't know anything! Please, Miss! ”

Zhong Yuqi hurriedly helped Liao Xiangbin up, but Liao Xiangbin still couldn't afford it, but he didn't kowtow anymore, and looked at Zhong Yuqi with a blank eye.

Zhong Yuqi said: "Disaster is not for the family, the former prince was wronged. It is also God's eyes, so that the former prince also has a little blood. ”

Liao Xiangbin was slightly surprised, and said, "Miss also knows that the former prince was wronged?" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Do you know the former imperial history Zhong family? ”

Liao Xiangbin said: "Naturally, I know! Back then, Zhong Lao was also one of the former prince's teachers. ”

Zhong Yuqi said lightly: "I am a member of the Zhong family. ”

Liao Xiangbin looked at Zhong Yuqi, frowned, and said, "Are you from the Zhong family?" Who are you from the Zhong family? If I'm not mistaken, back then, the Zhong family was almost executed, and only a few young girls were sent to the Fuli Yamen. ”

Thinking of something, Liao Xiangbin's eyes widened and said, "Back then, there was a six-year-old Miss Yan in the Zhong family who was sent to Huancai Pavilion, is it ......?"

Zhong Yuqi nodded, indicating that Liao Xiangbin's guess was right.

Liao Xiangbin looked at Xiao Yulin again, and then said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Back then, it was rumored in the world that His Royal Highness the Seventeenth had a very good relationship with the young lady of the Zhong family, and he might marry the young lady of the Zhong family as a concubine in the future. Last year, others were spreading that there was a guest in King Rui's mansion, saying that he was the old friend of King Rui, Miss Zhong of the Zhong family in Yunzhou. At the time, I didn't suspect it. Now that I think about it, Miss Zhong in the Huancai Pavilion was indeed picked up by Lord Rui. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "How do you know that this is Lord Rui's?" ”

Liao Xiangbin said: "When I just met Lord Rui, it was as if I had seen the former prince when I was young, so I was a little surprised. Later, I remembered that the former prince was copied all over the house, where is there any little prince? ”

Liao Xiangbin: "Oh! Zhen'er doesn't count, that's the only bloodline left by the former prince, and he is still the little county lord. named Zhen'er Yuzhen, which is the name of the former prince, 'Yuzhen'. ”

Liao Xiangbin: "Prince Rui and the former prince were both born by the first emperor, so Prince Rui and the former prince are similar. Looking at the age again, I guess this is Lord Rui. It's just that what I didn't expect was that Miss was actually the Miss of Zhong Yushi's family! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Now there is no Zhong Yushi, only Zhang Yushi. ”

Liao Xiangbin snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! That Zhang Sizhao is an ungrateful and unrighteous person! For the sake of power, he actually slandered Zhongliang and framed Zhong Yushi! ”

These speculations have long been in Xiao Yulin's heart. Now listening to Liao Xiangbin, he is even more sure.

Zhong Yuqi didn't know anything about the past, and now when she heard Liao Xiangbin say this, she also had several guesses in her heart.

Therefore, Zhong Yuqi said: "How do you know that Zhang Sizhao framed the Zhong family? Didn't you say that it was the former prince who rebelled, and the Zhong family was implicated? ”
