Chapter 188: The Mystery of Leaving the Palace (3)

Sixteen years ago, the youngest daughter of the prime minister's mansion who had just reached the end of the moon fell seriously ill, and the prime minister took her out to seek medical treatment, and came back half a month later and recovered. Although the rest of the Xiangfu didn't know, Mrs. Shen and the eldest lady of the Shen family still found that this baby girl was no longer the original one, no longer their daughter and sister. However, they did not speak out or even resent because of this, but treated the child even better, better than their own.

That's because the entire Shen family is shouldering a heavy responsibility, a heavy task to revive the southern country!

Going back many years, Lord Shen was originally just a petty official, but he was promoted to prime minister after helping the first emperor win the throne. So, he observed the movements of the emperor of the northern kingdom step by step, but he found that this emperor did not want to conquer the southern kingdom and dominate the world like the previous emperors. First of all, because there is a threat from the West, once the North sends troops to the South, the West will definitely invade because the rear of the North is empty. On the other hand, this mild-mannered emperor did not like to go to war himself. So, the south was given temporary peace and security.

It cannot be denied that the first emperor did not send troops to the south, and there was no credit for the prime minister.

The prime minister kept the country in good order, and married his sister to the emperor as a concubine. The emperor liked it, and he did everything he could to help him get it. What the emperor doesn't like, he will never mention in front of him.

In the northern country, the era of domination and government began.

Probably Shen Wan still remembers that she was robbed by bandits when she was twelve years old. At that time, although she could see that these people were not bandits, she didn't know that in fact, these people were dead soldiers from the south who came to take her back to China.

The prime minister disagreed, because the southern kingdom was not strong at that time, and if she took Shen Wan back, all the heavy responsibilities of the rich country would fall on her. Therefore, he would rather execute all the dead soldiers than let Shen Wan be taken away. Later, he secretly met Xiao Wumian and persuaded him to let Shen Wan stay, because Shen Wan stayed, there was a better way to enrich the country!

Shen Wan and the twelve princes are friendly, this is an open secret, and the first emperor likes the twelve princes very much, after the crown prince was deposed, the first emperor has repeatedly revealed in front of the prime minister that he wants to set up the twelve princes as the prince.

The prime minister thought that if the twelve princes were made princes, they would be the emperors of the northern kingdom in the future, and with his love for Shen Wan, it would not be a problem to become the queen! Once Shen Wan becomes the queen, then after giving birth to the dragon son, she can get rid of the emperor! When the time comes, with the help of him, the prime minister, the entire northern kingdom will be in the palm of his hand!

The entire Shen family is burdened with this heavy responsibility, hoping that the Twelve Princes can bring all their wishes fulfilled!

However, people are not as good as heaven, just when the prime minister thought that the twelve princes were sure to win, King Yu ascended the throne in front of the spirit!

After weighing it, the prime minister found that it was not difficult to do, because after all, King Yu was his eldest son-in-law, and even if he became the emperor, he would have a way to control it!

But he underestimated the ability of the new emperor, and when he was still preparing for a drastic change of dynasty, he himself became a prisoner of the order.

He is unwilling, he has done so much for the royal family, and his great cause of restoration has not been completed, how can he die? He wanted to tell Shen Wan all the facts, but it was too late. He could only shout two words at the last moment to Shen Wan, who he had always regarded as his own: revenge!

After listening to this paragraph, Shen Wan only felt ridiculous, and she asked Xiao Wumian coldly: "Since you said that I am not my father's daughter, then who am I?" ”

Xiao Wumian said calmly: "You are the princess of our southern kingdom, the heir of the Xiao family, your parents died not long after you were born, and you are the only one left who can inherit the throne." ”

"Ridiculous!" Shen Wan got up abruptly and shouted, "It's just nonsense!" I am my father's daughter, my surname is Shen, not Xiao! I did have a serious illness when I was a child, my mother told me! But then my father took me out to seek medical treatment, met a miracle doctor, and cured me! ”

Xiao Wumian looked at her so excited, knowing that she had no way to accept it at once, so she could only say: "That girl is not you, she has died of illness, because your parents passed away, so Lord Shen took you back to raise you." If you are allowed to stay in the southern country, you will probably not survive! ”

Shen Wan bit her lip and sneered, "Do you think I will still believe you?" ”

Xiao Wumian sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, when you return to the southern country with me, I will naturally have a way to make you believe." You sit down, let me continue to tell you what you want to know, don't you want to know why Chu Xichen killed Lord Shen's family? ”

"Why?"

Xiao Wumian took a sip of the breathless teacup, and still gently began to speak.

In fact, Lord Shen was conceited and smart, but he didn't know that from the beginning, the first emperor knew that Shen Wan was not Lord Shen's daughter, but a princess of the southern kingdom. He didn't tell this secret, because Lord Shen did help Beiguo do a lot of things, and he firmly believed that in his lifetime, the prime minister would not rebel and would still be used by him. However, when he gradually became ill and aging, he finally felt that this prime minister could not stay any longer.

So he found the twelve princes and asked him if he wanted the throne of Yao or Shen Wan, as long as the twelve princes chose the throne, then he would tell him the true identity of the prime minister and Shen Wan, and then get rid of their family. But the answer of the Twelve Princes disappointed him very much, and in desperation, he had no choice but to pass the throne to the ruthless King Yu.

Perhaps, only the ruthless King Yu can complete the task he assigned.

After the two decrees were issued, Emperor Xian told King Yu that if he wanted to get the throne, he would do as he said.

After ascending the throne, the entire Shen family was immediately put in prison, and no matter who it was, they were all executed!

King Yu swore a heavy oath in front of his father, as soon as he ascended the throne, he would immediately put all the Shen family in prison, and not let anyone go!

However, he loved Shen Wan deeply, but he played a word game with the first emperor.

He is talking about the old and young of the Shen family, and Shen Wan is not surnamed Shen, so she can not die.

Shen Wan's smile became more and more indifferent, she looked at Xiao Wumian and said, "It's really ridiculous, you mean that Chu Xichen also knows that I am the princess of the southern country?" ”

Xiao Wumian nodded: "That's right." ”

"It's funny!" Shen Wan felt bitter in her heart, but she sneered on her face, "With his temper, if he knew that I was the princess of the southern kingdom, he would not have left my life, and he would never give up his ambition to dominate the world because of others!" So, if it was really like what you say, I would have died a long time ago! Therefore, I am not the princess of the southern kingdom you are talking about, the descendant of the Xiao family! ”

Xiao Wumian said lightly: "It's taken me a long time to find out about all this, if you don't believe in my strength, you should also believe in your feelings." As long as you think about it carefully, connect everything before and after, and don't blind you because of impulse, I believe you will definitely know that what I am talking about is the truth of the facts. ”

Shen Wan pinched her palms with her fingernails fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "I know you are capable, but you don't need to say things so outrageous!" ”

However, what if what Xiao Wumian said was true?

She still remembers that when she was in prison, her mother died, and her father seemed to have something to say to herself. But it was too late, and Daddy was dragged out without saying anything, and he only told himself that he wanted revenge...... Chu Xichen once said more than once that he killed the people of the Shen family out of necessity, for himself, what was it for himself?

Now, she finally understands a little, Chu Xichen doesn't want to know her true life experience, if once the people of the Shen family tell her, then under family affection and morality, she will definitely be his enemy! He didn't want to be an enemy of himself, and he didn't want to let himself know such a complicated background.

Xiao Wumian said that she is the only heir of the southern kingdom!

And the north against the south, there is a country that hates the family!

Xiao Wumian said: "Although Chu Xichen is a little colder, he has been affectionate to you all these years. I also have eyeliner in the Northern Palace, and I know that you will do whatever it takes to take revenge, but do you really think that Chu Xichen really doesn't know everything you have done? He just let you go, maybe it's better to let you live in the hatred of his killing of your family than to let you live under the burden of recovering the country, right? ”

He smiled and said, "I can't do this, because I have a different position from him, he is the emperor of the northern kingdom, and I am the acting king of the southern kingdom." My task was to act as the agent of the southern kingdom before, and after you control the situation in the northern kingdom, I will cooperate with you inside and outside. The task now is to welcome you back to the south after the failure of the previous plan, and really take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Shen Wan pondered, Xiao Wumian glanced at Cui Shanggong who was standing aside, and said, "Have you ever thought that Lord Shen blatantly invited Mr. Cui to the mansion and taught you nothing else, but the hundred schools of thought?" In fact, women survive in the palace, why do they need to learn these principles? And the scholars in the court and the king who rules a country must really learn these things. ”

Shen Wan followed Xiao Wumian's gaze and looked at Cui Shanggong, who nodded slightly.

"It turns out that you have arranged everything by my side a long time ago." Shen Wan remained in her heart, and the last bit of faint luck slowly dissipated, and she could only say this sentence in frustration.

Xiao Wumian sighed softly: "The wisdom of the first emperor was something I didn't expect in advance, and I didn't expect Chu Xichen to protect you and even make you the queen regardless of the anger of the people." But I knew that he must have discovered my whereabouts and set up an ambush at the north gate. ”

"So," Shen Wan asked coldly, "Do you know if he really wants to kill me?" ”

Xiao Wumian smiled and said, "Although he is my enemy, I have to say, will a person who has worked hard to protect you for so many years kill you overnight?" ”

Shen Wan hung her head and was silent, and after a while, she stood up, her body shaking a little. Cui Shanggong supported her, and she said helplessly: "Most of the horses in the north are horseback, and I have never been on such a big boat. She walked to the side of the boat and looked through the window at the wind and waves outside.

Xiao Wumian stood firmly behind her and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before we can return to the southern country." ”

The wind and waves in the country are not big, but Shen Wan still feels a little dizzy, the northern country, where she has lived for seventeen years, is about to leave.

Come back, will there be saber rattling and the two countries at war?
