After Emperor Hong Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhong and was a little surprised.

What kind of secret is in the hands of Queen Jiang, will the end be worse than now? Or does Yan Liucheng know that once things come out, his fate will be the same as now?

The two were silent for a moment, and Empress Dowager Zhong said again: "Yan Changxin is still nowhere to be found?" ”

"Yes, it may be out of the capital. It's just a little minion, the Queen Mother can take care of her body with peace of mind, and she doesn't have to care. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng didn't care, Yan Changxin, the third son of King Chen Liu, escaped by falling into the water, at most he could only be a mouse in the future, hiding all day long and secretly living.

Empress Dowager Zhong is the opposite, she knows the power of hatred, and she is also worried that Chen Liuwangfu already has an old enmity with Mingzhu.

"Emperor, since this Yan Changxin can get out in advance, maybe he knows the inside story, so don't relax, try to find him out, and completely solve the hidden danger."

Empress Dowager Zhong's statement, Emperor Hong Zheng also agreed, the mother and son said a few more words, and Emperor Hong Zheng was ready to leave.

"Emperor, if you want to play with fire, you have to be moderate, Jiang Yue has a bold temperament, is very bold, and sometimes does things whimsically. Emperor, you have to be careful of her taking risks, don't underestimate her. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng humbly accepted the teaching, and then left.

After Emperor Hong Zheng left, Mama Xiuchun came over, changed the tea for Empress Dowager Zhong again, and served a bowl of lotus seed soup.

"Queen Mother, do you think Empress Jiang will make one last stand?"

"It's not that the mourning family thinks it, but Jiang Yue's temperament is like this. You also know what happened back then, who would have thought that she would be so bold as to dare to do something to the emperor. There are many people who know how to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, but she and the emperor were still in love at that time, which made people shudder. ”

Lady Xiuchun said in a low voice: "Then do we want to stare at Kunning Palace?" ”

"No, I don't. Over the years, she has also managed it properly, and there is not much news about the leakage of Kunning Palace. You let Wan Xi staring at Yan Qihuo, no matter what Jiang Yue does, he can't get around Yan Qihuo. ”

Xiuchun received the order in a low voice, and then said: "The Shangyi Bureau has rushed to produce ten sets of winter clothes, including fire fox, silver fox and gloves. ”

"That person sent it to Mingzhu, not to mention three sets a day, at least she wanted one set a day. They can't let the blessings look down on them, saying that the pearl of the mourning family is not noble enough. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhong thought of Gu Fanghua, she was full of smiles.

At this time, in the slum of the southern city of the capital, in a small courtyard, Yan Changxin woke up quietly.

Looking at the white roving tent above his head, smelling a little musty smell in the air, and the mottled wall that could be seen through the tent, Yan Changxin was almost suspicious in his dream.

He closed his eyes, and a lot of images popped up in his head.

Yan Changxin was excited, turned over and got out of bed, and when he was down-to-earth, he suddenly understood that this was not a dream, and those pictures and memories were real.

As soon as the wooden door creaked, a person who looked like a housekeeper walked in and said with a smile: "The third master is awake?" ”

Yan Changxin asked urgently, "Who are you?" How is the Chenliu Mansion now? ”

"Third master, there is no Chenliu Mansion anymore. King Chen Liuwang and the princess have committed suicide, and the others have been imprisoned in the ancestral hall. ”

The man said slowly with a blank expression, but Yan Changxin was weak and sat on the ground.

After a long time, he raised his head buried in his knees and said in a low voice, "Do you know how Concubine Liu is?" ”

"Concubine Liu was fortunate to be merciful to her mother, gave her poisonous wine, and went quickly."

Yan Changxin raised his head, blinked away the tears in his eyes, and muttered, "That's fine, that's fine." ”

"Third master, you can rest here for the time being, there are people here to serve your food and clothing. When the wind and waves were calm, the master said that she had promised the prince. Whether you want to be incognito, or choose revenge, she will do her best to help you. ”

Yan Changxin's body trembled uncontrollably, and he said in a low voice: "Revenge? To whom is revenge? ”

"Don't you know? This matter was provoked by the Gu family, and the prince was used as a scapegoat. As for why the Gu family united with the Zhong family to deal with the prince, it was all because of the county lord of Mingzhu. ”

Seeing that Yan Changxin was at a loss, he said again: "If it weren't for the third master and Miss Changle, who offended the county lord of Mingzhu and the Zhong family, why did they fall to such a point?" I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Qiu Leopard. ”

"Do you also have revenge?"

"Blood feud!"

Yan Changxin carefully looked at Qiu Leopard, and finally bowed his head and said, "Let me think about it." ”

Qiu Leopard didn't force him, but turned around and closed the door and left.

Yan Changxin sat back on the bed, lay there and closed his eyes, and began to recall what his father had said to him the night before his accident.

He had already fallen asleep when he suddenly felt the lights in the room brighten a lot, and he could faintly hear a sound. When he opened his eyes, he was about to curse, but he saw his father sitting at the table.

"Changxin, come, have a drink with my father!"

Yan Changxin got up in a fog, until he took the wine poured by his father, and he still felt as if he was dreaming.

"Father, it's so late, you haven't rested yet, and you've come to drink with me?"

Chen Liuwang did not answer, but raised his glass slightly, drank it all, and then said: "Changxin, the family is about to have a catastrophe, and your brothers have no heirs, so I am ready to send you away for my father and leave a drop of blood for my family." ”

"Father? Are you kidding? ”

Yan Changxin was stunned, his father held a lot of power, he was still a confidant of Queen Jiang, and he was the prince of the clan, how could a catastrophe come.

King Chen Liuwang did not answer directly, but talked about an old matter, talking about the death of the eighth prince born to the Empress Dowager Zhong, who was still the imperial concubine.

Yan Changxin was terrified when he heard it, he didn't expect that his grandfather was the murderer who killed the Eighth Emperor.

I thought it was scary enough, but it didn't end yet. King Chen Liuwang drank another glass of wine, and began to talk about the death of the prince of Guanwen Hou thirteen years ago, that is, the princess of Liuyue, Gu Dian.

"In the early years, there was a eunuch surnamed An who knew that after Eunuch An left the palace, he went to settle in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, Gu Dian was ordered to inspect Jiangnan, and learned about it from Eunuch An, so he hurried back to Beijing. ”

When Chen Liuwang said this, his eyebrows jumped, he rubbed his temples, and his voice became three points deeper.

He said in a low voice: "The interception and killing of Gu Dian on the road was all arranged by me, and then disguised as a slippery road on a rainy day, fell into a mountain stream and died." ”

Yan Changxin was already stunned, and then thinking about Guanwenhou and Empress Dowager Zhong, the vest was unconsciously soaked in cold sweat. Hurriedly said: "Father, who still knows?" ”

"Some people have always known about the death of the Eighth Prince, but they kept it secret and only sent a message to your grandfather. He said that he could keep his mouth shut, but he asked for a token, and asked that whoever brought the token in the future, no matter what was sent, our family must obey. It's just that until your grandfather gave me this matter on his deathbed, he didn't know who it was, and he regretted leaving. ”
