Even Su Wan, who was already "well-informed", couldn't help but blush slightly on his cheeks after hearing Ye Ziyu's words. I don't know why, she vaguely felt that Ye Ziyu had been giving her the stairs, as if he had already seen that this was just an empty restaurant, so he didn't follow the routine.

"It's been a long time since we did." Su Wan settled down, deliberately bypassed Ye Ziyu's ambiguous words, and instead found a topic and said: "After saying goodbye to the epidemic area of the homeless people, there should be no goodbye for more than half a year." ”

"As of today, it's seven months and four days." Ye Ziyu smiled faintly and said.

Su Wan didn't expect Ye Ziyu to remember this day so clearly, and suddenly stopped talking.

Ye Ziyu looked at Su Wan fixedly for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, the laughter was light and unscrupulous, shaking his head and saying: "Princess, you are really not suitable for lying, your whole body now exudes an awkward aura, which makes it difficult for me not to pay attention." ”

Ye Ziyu unexpectedly broke this layer of window paper, Lin Chuyang was suddenly a little nervous, and he was about to rush out, but this time he was stopped by Bai Yan and whispered to him: "Ye Ziyu is so close to Wan'er now, if you rush out to fight him, it will inevitably hurt Wan'er, don't be impulsive!" ”

These words were naturally taken into Ye Ziyu's ears, and he seemed to inadvertently raise his gaze behind the screen in the room, raised his voice and said: "I know you are there, please stay where you are, I don't want to kill people again today." ”

"This dog thief!" Lin Chuyang gritted his teeth, unable to suppress his determination to rush out, but was stopped by Bai Yan. When the two were fighting, they accidentally broke the porcelain vase behind the screen, making a shocking noise.

Now, the secret behind the screen is self-evident.

"In exchange, I will answer all the questions that the princess asks me today, okay?" Ye Ziyu winked at Su Wan twice, like a little fox who had always been cunning and smart.

"I agree." Su Wan hurriedly replied. Since Ye Ziyu alone can solve the heaven and earth net arranged by Lin Chuyang, he must be able to easily solve a few of them, and at present, it is the best way to stabilize him.

Ye Ziyu nodded with a smile, and said word by word: "You come to ask, I will answer." ”

"In that case, I'll be straight to the point." Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really not used to hiding secrets and talking to others, so she simply opened up and asked, "Are you really the behind-the-scenes pavilion master of Xuanwen Pavilion?" ”

This question was asked, as if the air around him was frozen. The deathly silence also returned behind the screen, and everyone was holding their breath and waiting for Ye Ziyu's answer.

Ye Ziyu smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed his temples and said, "It's worthy of Wan'er, you can directly hit the key point as soon as you open your mouth." Yes, I was the pavilion master of Xuanwen Pavilion at the time. ”

Ye Ziyu's frank attitude was also incredible, Su Wan took a deep breath and continued to ask: "So, are you involved in the case of the assassination of the old emperor Kaichun Weifu's visit?" Do you have anything to do with Murong Li? ”

"Don't worry, ask one by one, I won't run again." Ye Ziyu picked it dotingly, supported his chin elegantly with both hands, and said, "Murong Li and Mo Wenshui are indeed my subordinates, but not every time that old guy is killed, it is my people's doing. ”

"What other organizations are involved in this?" Su Wan was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked.

"It's not an organization, it's the people around the old guy." Ye Ziyu tilted his head, like a child who had mastered an interesting secret, and said with a smile: "It's the prince." ”

"What did you say!" Su Wan was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair, no matter how she speculated, she didn't expect that the prince really planned this rebellious thing.

"You don't have to be so surprised, the truth of this matter, I'm afraid that old guy knows it best." Ye Ziyu smiled casually, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water for himself, and said leisurely: "The reason why the prince was not punished is that it is just that it is useless for him to keep that nest for the time being." ”

Having said this, Su Wan suddenly remembered a very important piece of information, if Lin Chuyang's investigation was not wrong, then Ye Ziyu was the missing fourth prince! He is also the biological son of the old emperor!

It's just that this question is more related to Ye Ziyu's secret pain than the previous question, and Su Wan is not easy to ask for a while.

Ye Ziyu seemed to see Su Wan's embarrassment, and said relaxedly: "Look, you are not suitable to be a criminal investigator at all, you seem to be more cramped and uneasy when you ask questions than I answer?" ”

"That's not ......" Su Wan hesitated, took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind, and asked tentatively: "You, are you the fourth prince of the dynasty?" ”

As soon as this question was asked, Ye Ziyu, who was still full of spring breeze a second ago, instantly became gloomy, and turned his head slightly to the side without looking at Su Wan.

Su Wan also knew that this question was very lethal, but this was also one of the most critical questions, although she wanted to know the answer, she still slowly added and said: "If you really don't want to say it, you can ...... it."

"Are there four princes in the dynasty?"

Who knows, Ye Ziyu suddenly raised a sneer, turned his head to look at Su Wan, and said: "The princess forgets, the fourth prince died more than ten years ago, and he was buried in the barren mountains and mountains with his innocent mother, and now the bones may be gone." ”

Su Wan's heart trembled, her eyes looked at Ye Ziyu with complicated eyes, and she clenched her fists slightly. After the tragedy of that year, in order to quell the rumors, the old emperor issued an edict, saying that Concubine Shu and the four princes were infected with the epidemic on the way back from their parents' provinces, and they both died of illness on the road.

Therefore, when Ye Ziyu answered this, he said that the history clearly recorded in the annals of history did not seem to have any problems.

Su Wan bit her pale lower lip, swallowed her saliva, nodded with difficulty and said, "I know......"

"You don't know anything at all." Ye Ziyu smiled mockingly, regained his playful and unserious expression, leaned his head on the table left and right and said, "The day the fourth prince died, it was the day I was reborn. ”

Such an answer can be regarded as a side confirmation of the fact that Ye Ziyu is the fourth prince.

At this moment, the sadness in Su Wan's heart became even more turbulent. In other words, the old emperor worked hard all his life, and it was rare to visit Weifu once in his twilight years, and it was his two biological sons who calculated him everywhere?

This is too mocking, and the moody personality aside, the old emperor is indeed an indisputable emperor, who has made many great achievements during his reign, but he did not expect that he would not be able to protect his broken family.

In other words, what emperor has ever had a harmonious family?

"Princess, your biggest flaw is that you are too sympathetic." Ye Ziyu stared at Su Wan's expression with a smile, and said slowly: "When I was in the epidemic area, I saw you crying at a dying old man, and I was thinking at the time, what a simple woman who doesn't know the vagaries of life and death in the world would actually be sad about such a normal scene. ”

"I'm a doctor, a doctor and a parent, I just don't want to watch others suffer because of ** or spiritual pain." Su Wan sighed leisurely and said, "Ye Ziyu, it's actually too late for you to turn back now." ”

Ye Ziyu's eyes widened with a smile, shook his head and said, "I heard you right, right?" What do you say it's too late? Will I still have time to go back and be my fourth prince? Will my mother ever have time to come back to life? ”

Su Wan felt a pain in her heart, the two things Ye Ziyu said were impossible at present. People can't be resurrected after death, and with the tyrannical nature of the old emperor, even if he knew that the fourth prince was still alive, he would not recognize him again.

If the old emperor was really a chivalrous and tender person, he would not have announced to the world that he had died of illness when the life and death of the fourth prince were uncertain, and ordered all searches against him.

In the eyes of the old emperor, the stability of Jiangshan Sheji has always been the supreme existence. Not to mention how annoyed he would be if he knew that Ye Ziyu was currently the leader of Xuanwen Pavilion, I am afraid that he would directly order him to be killed.

"I just can't bear to watch you continue to do these things that are out of character." Su Wan hesitated and said slowly: "After all, the old emperor is your biological father, and it is really ...... for you to take the lead in rebellion like this."

"Princess, please stop." Ye Ziyu made a gesture to ask Su Wan to pause, and said with a smile: "You can say such a thing, you must have been born in a family with a loving father and a gentle mother, right?" ”

"Not really." Su Wan shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have never experienced the warmth of family, but I have only tasted that happiness for a short time in my imagination." ”

Su Wan said every word, but it was also the truth. She is a helpless orphan in modern times, and when she crossed over here, she met the ruthless Liu Rumei and the indifferent and ruthless Su Nanjie, how can there be any family happiness at all.

"In that case, you should understand very well that some people don't deserve to be parents at all, right?" Ye Ziyu was not surprised, he had long known Su Wan's family background, so he continued: "Don't be mistaken, although my mother has successfully made that old thing favor her with her beauty and virtue, but I have never received any fatherly love because of this. ”

Ye Ziyu paused for a moment and said slowly: "He has always regarded me as an ant, and he has no pity. It is said that after my mother gave birth to her brother, who was sick, he did not allow her to get pregnant again, because she was afraid that having another son who was not in good health would make the world suspect that there was something wrong with his bloodline. My birth is the result of my mother's efforts. ”

Su Wan was so choked that he couldn't say anything to refute, this really seemed like something that a cold and ruthless old emperor would do. In his eyes, the country and his own face are actually better than a living child!

Speaking of these past events, Ye Ziyu's originally calm mind also became excited, and continued: "He always knew that the queen was jealous of my mother's favor, but he always pretended not to know and put my mother in a high position, just to balance the power of the government and the opposition!" ”

"It's probably not entirely political." Su Wan's heart was beating fast, and she couldn't help but say: "The old emperor hasn't been crowned a concubine for so many years, and everyone says that he is keeping this position permanently for the concubine who didn't have time to be canonized as a concubine in the first place......"

"Hahaha, what a wonderful reason!" Ye Ziyu laughed a few times, but there were some tears in his eyes, he said: "It's not because after my mother's concubine died, her mother's clan declined rapidly, and since then, the concubines in the palace are afraid of the queen's revenge, even if they are favored, they will never accept to be named a concubine, it is said that two years ago, there was a concubine who committed suicide by jumping into a well overnight because she knew that she was going to be named a concubine!" ”

Of course, Su Wan didn't know anything about the infighting in the harem, and when she heard Ye Ziyu say this, she only felt cold all over her body, and cold sweat broke out.

"Back then, the queen's slut sent her henchman Zhao to intercept and kill our mother and son, because the tragic situation of my mother's concubine's death was really unsightly, and she also lost the qualification to be buried in the royal garden, the old thing personally decreed that this woman he used to love the most was buried directly in the wilderness, in order to prevent the good thing tomb robbers from grabbing her grave and discovering her identity, not only did not give her any funeral items, but also stripped off her clothes and buried her naked!"

The more Ye Ziyu spoke, the more excited he became, he stood up from the chair, propped up the table with both hands and said: "At the beginning, my whereabouts were unknown, and my life and death were uncertain, in order to prevent someone from capturing the prince and threatening him, he actually directly issued an edict announcing my death, cutting off the possibility of my final rescue!" You tell me that this is something that is worthy of someone I call him a father? ”

A huge sense of oppression came to her face, Su Wan was a little dazed, raised her head and looked at Ye Ziyu with red eyes at a loss. Looking at Su Wan, who was dazed, Ye Ziyu unfolded a pale and weak smile, sat back in his seat, sighed and said: "Everything I have experienced is not as simple as a lack of love, but I am dealing with a devil throughout!" ”

After speaking, Ye Ziyu mockingly tapped the cup on the table with his hand and said, "The devil's son will naturally be the next devil, which is not surprising." ”

"Ye Ziyu, I beg you not to think like this." Su Wan felt uncomfortable in her heart, just listening to Ye Ziyu's story, she couldn't bear the pain of eating her bones, let alone experiencing him personally?

However, Su Wan still wanted to do her best to comfort Ye Ziyu. She never knew that the pain that a person endured could be so heavy and so painful.

"You are not only the child of the old emperor, but also the child of your mother!" Su Wan said with a serious face: "You should think about how gentle and demure your mother is, how forgiving and humble she is, and you also have half of her blood......

"Don't you think that's funny?" Ye Ziyu looked at Su Wan with interest, and said with a smile
