Xiao Qiongzhi pondered for a moment and said with a sad expression: "Grandma was killed by her secret guard Alyssa. ”

"Auntie? Which aunt and grandmother? Xiao Han was a little confused.

He didn't think that the aunt and grandmother that Xiao Qiongzhi said were referring to Princess Huanting.

Because, he didn't treat Princess Huanting as a daughter at all, at the beginning, it was purely to give face to Master Honghui, the abbot of Zhaoguo Temple, so he saved Princess Huanting's life.

"It's Princess Huanting, who was born by Concubine Shu and raised in Beiyi." Xiao Qiongzhi explained seriously.

But there was some joy in her heart.

Xiao Han didn't have the consciousness that Princess Huanting was Xiao Qiongzhi's aunt and grandmother, which fully showed that he didn't take Princess Huanting seriously at all, so Princess Huanting's death should not be a big deal for him, which is really gratifying.

"Oh, it turned out to be the girl from Wanyan Linglong's slut, I remembered." Xiao Han finally figured it out.

He reached out and stroked a lock of white whiskers on his chin, thought about it for a while, and asked Xiao Qiongzhi with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Zhi'er, have you heard that when Wan Ting was born, she had one more ear than a normal person, like a monster?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi shook her head without hesitation.

Of course she had heard of it, and it was her mother Chen Lingfeng who said it.

However, in the Great Depression, according to the rules, a deformed child is equivalent to a demon, and anyone who gives birth to a deformed child will not only be beaten to death, but the child's mother will also be divorced or sent to the nunnery to practice.

As for the father of the child, although he will not be punished, he will be discriminated against by everyone.

Because of this, before this, only those rural families would spread the news of the birth of deformed children and the death of them in public, such as in Beijing or normal large families, even if they gave birth to deformed children, they would be secretly executed immediately, and the relevant news would be blocked, and the child would be directly claimed to the outside world because of dystocia and premature death.

Xiao Han is a very face-saving person, which can be seen from the fact that when he gave birth to Princess Huanting, he was about to kill him personally.

Although, later, under the persuasion of Master Honghui, the abbot of Zhaoguo Temple, he left Princess Huanting behind, but in the next moment, he killed all the insiders except himself, Master Honghui, and Concubine Shu.

Therefore, although Xiao Qiongzhi didn't know how Chen Lingfeng knew about this, she knew in her heart that Xiao Han must never be allowed to know, she already knew about it, otherwise, it would definitely bring unnecessary trouble to herself and Chen Lingfeng.

"I've heard of it before, but you haven't heard of it?" Xiao Han didn't believe it. His eyes widened, staring at the expression on Xiao Qiongzhi's face.

Xiao Qiongzhi won't fall for Xiao Han.

She immediately pretended to be confused, stared directly into Xiao Han's eyes, and said with a look of disbelief: "Grandpa, Mrs., you are one of the greatest and most wise emperors of Da Xiao, you should live a long life!" ”

"There can be no deformed children among your children and grandchildren! What kind of thing that doesn't know whether to live or die is spreading rumors behind my back, saying that when my aunt and grandmother were born, they had one more ear than normal people, like a monster? ”

"Haha, Zhi'er, you don't need to ask in detail, your wife and grandfather and I are indeed very great and wise in this life, but it is inevitable that there will be times when you are negligent. For example, I was deceived by adulterers in the past, and I once misunderstood your grandfather, your grandfather, your father and you. ”

"So, it's normal for one or two things to appear around me that don't know whether they are alive or dead." Xiao Han was stimulated by Xiao Qiongzhi's comment "You are one of the greatest and wise emperors of Da Xiao, and you should live a long life", and he was proud of his patience and was happy to explain.

Then, after a pause, he put away his smile again and asked seriously: "How was Wan Ting killed by Alyssa?" ”

"According to Wan Yanshu's confession, my aunt and grandmother thought that the death of her concubine must be related to me because she heard that I had entered the palace on the night of her mother's concubine's accident, and heard my grandfather's decree that Concubine Ling Chishu would crown me as Princess Zhongling."

"So, she teamed up with Alyssa, and today, in the examination room, she deliberately looked for my scumbag, so that Alyssa beat me to death in the name of having to teach me a lesson for the sake of protecting the lord."

"I didn't know anything about all this, but when she suddenly deliberately looked for my scumbag, I was so angry that I slapped her twice because I didn't know her identity."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, Alyssa suddenly jumped in through the window of the examination room and assassinated me."

"Thanks to my secret guards, seeing their plot, and intervening in time to stop Alyssa's assassination, I survived."

"Then, I came back to my senses and fought back against Alyssa, Alyssa was outnumbered, afraid of being captured alive by us, and afraid that Princess Huanting would tell the truth, so I first blackmailed Princess Huanting, killed Princess Huanting, and then bit my tongue and committed suicide."

"Also, Mrs. Grandpa, about all that I just said, including Dean Qiu, Dean Chen, Correctional Luo, Correctional Fang, and all the candidates present who participated in the poetry competition, can testify." Xiao Qiongzhi was patient and carefully explained the "truth of the matter" that had long been determined in the hearts of Chen Sujin, Qiu Qitong, and all the other people present.

Xiao Han listened carefully and fell silent.

After a long while, he shook his head and said with a look of chagrin: "I and your grandfather are both responsible for this matter." ”

"Wan Ting returned to the palace about half a month ago, I consider that she grew up in the Beiyi Palace since she was a child, and she must not have a deep affection for Da Xiao, in order to cultivate her feelings for Da Xiao and our Da Xiao royal family, originally, she was sent to stay in the imperial mausoleum for a period of time."

"No wonder I didn't see my aunt and grandmother last time I asked my wife and grandfather to say goodbye!" Xiao Qiongzhi immediately pretended to be surprised and said.

In fact, she knew in her heart that Xiao Han must have thought that Princess Huanting was an unlucky person, so she would send Princess Huanting to the imperial tomb.

After all, the imperial tomb is the place where the "dragon qi" of the ancestors of the royal family is the grandest in Taoism, and it will play a great role in suppressing demons and evils.

"Facts have proved that my decision is right, Wan Ting really doesn't have deep feelings for our Da Xiao and our Da Xiao royal family, otherwise, she wouldn't take you for granted as her mother-killing enemy without asking questions, and let people assassinate you."

"It's a good thing that you didn't see her, but today you see her, you see, it's very dangerous." Xiao Han said very seriously.

After speaking, he picked up the tea on the table, took a few sips, and then said: "Unexpectedly, the night before yesterday, Concubine Shu's slut actually colluded with the Zhu Mansion to make trouble. Although, later, she was discovered by your grandfather and your father in time, and Ling Chi was executed, but in this way, Wan Ting had to come back from the imperial tomb and give Concubine Shu's slut a ride. ”

"And your grandfather, who is soft-hearted, made her stop going to the imperial mausoleum after giving Concubine Shu a ride yesterday morning, and instead came to the prince's mansion to be with you and what - that is, your third uncle's daughter as a companion."

"So, yesterday afternoon, Wan Ting took a Beiyi girl to move to the prince's mansion to live, and at the same time, came to me, saying that you are not in the mansion, she wants to be like you, and she will also go to participate in the poetry competition held by Zhilan Academy, Linfeng Academy, and Yanyu Pavilion, so that today, I can meet you in the examination room and give you a surprise."

"I thought it was a good idea, so I agreed to her."

"If I had known that she was going to lead someone to assassinate you, so I would have asked to participate in the poetry competition held by Zhilan Academy, Linfeng Academy, and Yanyu Pavilion, I would have stabbed her to death with a sword directly when she came to me! Hum! ”

After saying it in one breath, Xiao Han's face darkened.

At the same time, there is still some fear in my heart.

He really wants to "make up for it" now, but he can't mess it up because of Princess Wanting's affairs.

This time, fortunately, that Wan Yanshu was able to prove everything to Xiao Qiongzhi, otherwise, if this kind of thing happened, Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, Xiao Zhengzhen, and Xiao Qiongzhi would all have to suspect that Princess Huanting was actually instructed by him to take people to kill Xiao Qiongzhi.

After all, Princess Huanting is his daughter, and at the same time, he agreed with Princess Huanting to participate in the poetry competition held in Zhilan Academy and Linfeng Academy and Yanyu Pavilion today.
