"How did Yan Qingchou die? And...... Does it have anything to do with that resignation? Yan Liwu couldn't help but ask, and when he read the same name as himself, he felt a little weird.

Helian Ming seemed to be poked in pain, and there was a long silence.

After all, the former Yan Liwu and Yan Qingchou were Helian Mingyan's half-sisters, and now that the two of them are gone, he keeps asking about those things that have passed, which is tantamount to sprinkling salt on Helian Ming's wounds.

But she really wanted to know about the Qinglian King, especially after knowing that General Sang Ying had a lot to do with all this.

Helian Ming has never been a person who is easily emotional, even if he is sad in his heart, he is just silent; Wen Moqing saw that she kept her head down for a long time and didn't speak, gently patted Yan Liwu's shoulder, let go of her hand, poured a cup of hot tea again, and handed it to Helian Mingyan's hand, her every move was gentle and close.

Nodding as a thank you, Helian Ming held the teacup in both hands, looking at his slightly haggard reflection in the cup and was slightly distracted.

"The kung fu of light sorrow is better than leaving sorrow, but it is not as calm as leaving sorrow, and treating people and things is a little sharper, so the role of Qinglian King is played by sorrow most of the time, and only when it is inconvenient to leave sorrow, light sorrow will be replaced-these are all arrangements of the master. I have to say that the master knows Emperor Yuan quite well, otherwise it would not be so easy to win Emperor Yuan's favor from his worries. At the beginning, the two people of Liwu and Light Sorrow cooperated very tacitly, and many secret insiders of the Yuanguo Imperial Court were transmitted back to Hosdu through the hands of the two of them, but the good times did not last long, and soon they found that the Yuanhuang was not simple, and even many times, they were used by the Yuanhuang. ”

"The so-called exploitation, refers to the things that the first emperor did arbitrarily but pushed the charges to the Qinglian King?" Chu Ci interjected abruptly, and his face was not shocked.

Helian Ming glanced at Chu Ci with a little strangeness: "You already know these things?" ”

"Sort of, some bits and pieces of clues are not as credible as what Your Excellency said personally." Chu Ci passed by vaguely, and Wen Moshu next to him understood very well that half of these secrets that outsiders didn't know were told to Chu Ci by him.

The construction of the Qinglian Palace, the digging of canals, the threat and even cruel torture of many ministers who made suggestions, and the many scandals of accepting bribes and appointing improper officials......

Some may be unjust, false and wrongful cases, but some crimes can only be committed by King Qinglian, and no one can frame them, as for which ones were done by King Qinglian and which ones were done by the first emperor, it is difficult for Wen Moshu to carefully discern them, and there is only one answer that can be deduced.

Whether it is the Qinglian King or the first emperor, no one is a person who thinks about the great abyss and the people of the world.

Chu Ci returned to silence, and Helian Mingyan began to continue her memories.

"Emperor Yuan is a cloudy and moody person, on the surface, he seems to have given all the treasured things in the world to the Qinglian King, spoiled to an incredible degree; In fact, Qing Chou complained in the letter that Emperor Yuan himself had done many evil deeds, and had woven all the charges into excuses related to the Qinglian King, making all the evil deeds look like the Qinglian King had done them. I shouldn't have said much about this, after all, it is the internal affairs of the Yuan, but it is precisely because of the contradictory performance of the Yuanhuang that it eventually leads to the disagreement between the sorrow and the sorrow. ”

"Disagreement? Isn't their mission to disrupt the government of the Great Abyss? If Emperor Yuan is a cunning and faint monarch as you say, then it is exactly what they want, and it is greatly beneficial to the Hosdu Empire, what else is there to disagree about? Yan Li frowned, and as soon as the words fell, he was secretly stabbed by Wen Moqing.

The first emperor was cunning and mediocre, and it was really inappropriate to say it in front of Wen Moshu and Chu Ci, after all, it was a father-son relationship connected by blood.

Realizing that he was momentarily out of shape and carried away, he shut up in embarrassment, and his curious eyes still couldn't help but quietly look at Helian Mingyan.

A faint sigh spread, and at this time, Helian Ming's gloomy expression was quite inconsistent with her usual demeanor, faintly carrying a bit of weakness that made people want to pity, and even when she was worried, she couldn't help but want to whisper softly to comfort her.

"Perhaps, this is fate." Beginning with an ethereal emotion, Helian Mingyan and Yan Liwu looked at each other calmly, "The elders only regard Liwu and Light Sorrow as chess pieces, and no one expected that Liwu would really fall in love with Emperor Yuan, and in the end, he put himself in it. ”

Sure enough, as the words and worries speculated, the Qinglian King is not a demon girl who charms the king's heart, and her love and hate are not so simple - or rather, the love of the Qinglian King is too complicated and bumpy to guess.

When everyone thought that she might have some feelings or two for the first emperor, some people jumped out and said that it was a conspiracy; And when the conspiracy was revealed to the world, people suddenly discovered that what destroyed this conspiracy was the love that King Qinglian should not have for the first emperor.

"Liwu and Qingwu didn't live with their father for long, and they received very little care, so once someone spoiled them and protected them, their hearts could easily be captured - of course, this is just my wishful thinking, and only Liwu himself knows what the truth is. In short, in too much contact with Emperor Yuan, Liwu fell in love with someone he shouldn't love, which made Qingchou very worried. ”

Yan Qingwu realized that his sister was getting more and more wrong, and promptly communicated with Helian Mingyan to explain the situation, but the mountains and rivers were far away, and it was several months after the letter arrived in Helian Mingyan's hands. During this period, Yan Liwu did many things that he should not have done as the King of Qinglian, including taking the blame for the first emperor, enduring the resentment and scolding of others, and having a fierce quarrel with his twin sister.

The previous Yan Liwu was unwilling to be a puppet for the elders anymore, and wanted to find an opportunity to confess everything to the first emperor for forgiveness, this naïve idea was strongly opposed by Yan Qingchou, on the one hand, it was for the good of her sister, and she didn't want her to sacrifice for an unworthy man regardless of the fact that she was poisoned, and on the other hand, it was also because Yan Qingwu didn't understand, where did the emperor who seemed to be mediocre but actually clear, but more ruthless than anyone else, attract his sister.

After that, things slowly became related to Wen Moqing.

Helian Mingyan urgently needed a reason to contact the Qinglian King, and the affectionate Wen Moqing played this role that was deceived and used, so the daughter of the noble Duchess of Mugta in the Hosdu Empire was named Helian Mingyan, and entered the imperial capital as a dancer, and became the Mr. Dance Skill recruited by the Qinglian King "on a whim".

"At that time, I didn't have any intention of assassinating Emperor Yuan, but I really saw that I was in love and couldn't extricate myself, so I had to make this decision." Faced with Wen Moqing's indifferent gaze, Helian Mingyan chose to avoid it.

She didn't have the courage to look at Wen Moqing.

Deception, exploitation, when these two words lie between her and Wen Moqing, any justification is pale and powerless, even if it is her purest affection. In the past years, it was this guilt that tormented her, making her dare not face up to the relationship with Wen Moqing, let alone show her heart to him, until one day she said goodbye.

God destined that she has nothing to do with Wen Moqing.

In this regard, Wen Moqing seems to be no longer entangled, and her overly flat expression even feels a little difficult to understand.

"You chose to assassinate without persuading the Qinglian King, didn't you?" Returning to Yan Liwu, Wen Moqing stood up straight, his eyes were so indifferent that it was chilling, "According to the situation, it is impossible for King Qinglian to agree to you to assassinate the first emperor at that time, so the person who provided you with the opportunity was obviously Yan Qingqing, not King Qinglian." ”

Enduring the slight pain in his heart, Helian Ming let out a long breath and nodded slowly: "That's right, the assassination of Emperor Yuan is a plan made by me and Qingchou behind our backs. At that time, I didn't think too much, I simply thought that killing Emperor Yuan would cut off the obsession of leaving my worries, if it were now, I would never be so impulsive, but there is no regret medicine in this world, and what has happened is impossible to undo. ”

"If the assassination is successful, you will regret it even more."

Regarding the relationship between Wen Moqing and Helian Mingyan, Wen Moshu has always adhered to the principle of not asking if he can, but looking at the scene in front of him, it is obvious that Wen Moqing has already been angry about the events of the year, otherwise he would not have responded in such a cold and hard tone.

Quietly handing over a look to Yan Liwu, Wen Moshu tried to divert the topic and make a round: "The assassination of the first emperor, Duke Mugta shouldn't be on the table to talk about it, anyway, this is the Great Abyss." Well, no one had ever heard of it, so Duke Mugta would get down to business. ”

"Getting down to business, there's nothing else besides what I just said." Quietly bowed his head and thanked Wen Moshu, Helian Ming returned to his normal color, "Since then, Liwu has no longer exchanged letters with me, and the only news has come from Qingchou. But the good times didn't last long, and less than a year later, I couldn't even receive the news of my sorrow. ”

Because, Yan Qingchou died before Wen Moqing led people to wash the Qinglian Palace in blood.

The dullness in his chest became more and more serious, and he adjusted his breath again and again, still feeling as if he was being pressed by a boulder, and his tone couldn't help but be a little sluggish: "I worry about her...... You know how she died? ”

"I don't know if it's retribution. In order not to let Liwu be burdened by feelings, Qingchou was drugged and knocked unconscious and tried to assassinate again, but was ambushed halfway...... I only learned about all of this from the letters I sent later. The letter was tossed and turned, and by the time it reached my hands, he was no longer alive. ”

After saying this, Helian Ming didn't speak again for a long time, his face was lowered, and he felt a little delicate.

Even though she has the noble status of a duchess, she has lost her mother, father, and a pair of sisters one after another, what else does Helian Ming have besides her false name? Without relatives by their side, standing alone in a lonely room, how many people can experience the feeling of loneliness and desolation?

Yan Liwu suddenly remembered the feeling he had when he first arrived in this world.

There are people around you, but you can't give trust, you don't know where you should go, and you don't know what you're living for.

Perhaps, the person who knows Helian Ming's feelings best at this time is her, right?

There is some irony, and there is also some distress that should not be there.

After all, this body is connected to Helian Ming's bloodline, and it is how she doesn't admit that there is still a real relationship with her sister.

"The mystery about the Qinglian Wang sisters is a muddled account, and if you can't fully understand it, maybe there will never be a complete truth. Now that I think about it, there is no need to go any further, and the answer is enough to explain everything now. ”

Holding Wen Moqing's arm and slowly standing up, Yan Liwu bowed lightly to Helian Mingyan: "I'm a little tired, go rest first - remember to tell me when you leave, I will send you off, just as I will do the last bit of affection for the Yan family sisters." ”
