Su Youyi looked at the emperor suspiciously, "The emperor wants to say that you stayed in the Star Picking Pavilion for a day today because you like the concubines, and you didn't mean to demonstrate to anyone, right?" Don't you like who you deliberately have intimacy with...... Hasn't the emperor always been like this to Concubine Xian? ”

The emperor didn't answer, and Su Youyi didn't ask anymore.

Or maybe the emperor is not really ruthless to Concubine Xian, it's just that Li Gelao is forming a party in the court, and Concubine Xian is paving the way for the two princes to build bridges, pulling the distance between the two of them farther and farther away, right?

Su Youyi hurriedly admitted her mistake, "It's all the concubines who are not good, but the emperor's kind concubines misunderstood, the emperor wants to beat and scold at will, and the concubines will never dare to complain." ”

The emperor is not so stupid, and confessed just to beat her and scold her.

He said: "I have never told anyone about this matter, this is not only the secret of the first emperor, but also my secret. ”

"The concubine will never tell others!"

Su Youyi immediately raised her hand and swore.

The emperor snorted lightly, "I don't dare." I've told you my biggest secret, and now it's time for you to tell me your secret? ”

Her secret?

The thing she can call secret is only that one, about her father's death, about Ji Yushen.

Even if she can tell the emperor about her father without any scruples, Ji Yushen's matter ......

She once hated Ji Yushen for abandoning her, and left behind the love they had grown up together for the sake of glory and wealth, but in the end, they supported each other, and Su Youyi couldn't bear to put him in danger.

She looked up at the emperor, and the emperor's gaze was calm and clear, as if she knew something, just waiting for her to confess and be lenient.

She thought about it for a long time, and then gritted her teeth and said, "What does the emperor want to hear?" ”

"Anything is fine, if you want to lie to me, you don't have to speak, I don't like to be forced."

She can choose not to say it, and if she does, she can't tell a lie.

Su Youyi was in a dilemma, hesitated for a long time, and the emperor couldn't wait for her reply, so he stood up from the side of the bed.

She still doesn't trust herself in the end.

"That's it, I said I wouldn't force you."

After saying that, he walked towards the passage leading to the fourth floor, and suddenly the corner of his clothes behind him was tightly grabbed.

The emperor looked back, Su Youyi stretched out a hand from the brocade quilt and firmly grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Okay, I said." ”

His net worth and life are his, and Su Youyi is willing to gamble.

The emperor sat down again, only to hear her say: "I told the emperor in the past that my father was a teacher in the countryside, and I entered the palace after he died. This is true, but I didn't tell the emperor the details. My father was actually killed, and I still don't know who the enemy is. ”

The emperor said: "Tell me what you know." ”

"That day, I sent home a cold-stricken child from the school in the next village. My father went to the house of a squire surnamed Ji in the village, and his son-in-law was also a student of his father, and his father often went to his house to teach him alone. When I went back, I went to Ji's house to look for my father, and from a long distance, I saw a bunch of villagers surrounded by Ji's house, where Li was presiding over important affairs, and a corpse was carried out from Ji's house. ”

"And I saw my father in those corpses."

Onlookers said that the Ji family was wiped out. From Master Ji to Mrs. Ji, and even the long-term and short-term workers in the family were killed, none of them survived. But I often go to Ji's house, and I know that there are more than 50 people in the Ji family, including long-term and short-term workers, how can they all be killed quietly? ”

Su Youyi looked at the emperor in shock, "Even if the emperor orders the whole house to be beheaded, it can't be so silent, right?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded at her.

Su Youyi comforted a little in her heart, "I think so too." I was so scared that I didn't dare to come forward. The onlookers recognized me and asked me to see my father's body, and guess what, Your Majesty? ”

She smiled, tears in her eyes, "Not only did I not look, but I turned around and ran." I'm worried that the people who killed the Ji family haven't left yet, and once they know my relationship with the Ji family, they won't even let me go. So I didn't even go home, I ran to the mountains and hid, and on the mountains, I met the son of the Ji family. ”

The emperor was silent and gathered the brocade quilt for her.

Su Youyi said: "He and I have been taught by my father since childhood, and I don't know if my father taught us like this, or if he was cold by nature and brought me badly. In short, he was not in the house at the time, he was smarter than me, and when he saw something happening to the Ji family from a distance, he ran up the mountain to hide. The two of us had grown up together since childhood, and we had experienced family changes together, so we supported each other and hid in the mountains for ten days. Those ten days were like nightmares, we dug wild vegetables during the day, and at night we didn't even dare to light a fire, huddled in caves and snuggled up to each other to keep warm. ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyes changed, and he didn't speak.

"Ten days later, we thought that the people who had destroyed the Ji family should leave, so we went down the mountain and went back to worship the tomb of our parents. Because the Ji family is a squire's family, and my father is a scholar, Li Zheng is in charge of burying a good place for them. The two of us decided to flee to the capital, first, to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, and second, he wanted to enter Beijing to take the exam, and if he was admitted, he might be able to find out the real murderer by being an official. ”

Having said that, it is self-evident who the son of the Ji family is.

Su Youyi looked at the emperor, "Did the emperor already know about this?" ”

The emperor bowed slightly, "Do you remember the first night here, when you hugged me coldly at night?" At that time, you were talking in a dream, and you were shouting about your father in your dream. Inevitably, I was curious, so I sent someone back to your hometown of Lingnan to find out about your father. Your father is a local teacher, and almost all the children in ten miles and eight towns have been taught by him, and they will find out when they look up. ”

Since she can find out her father, she naturally knows how his father died, so of course Ji Yushen's family background can't hide from the emperor's eyes.

Su Youyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no half of a lie in her words, the emperor had already found out her life experience, just waiting for her to tell the truth.

The emperor said: "Regarding Ji Yushen's matter, you still plan to hide it, right?" ”

Su Youyi smiled, "No, there's nothing to hide. The emperor thinks about it, the two children who have known each other since they were children and grew up together, suffered the disaster of extinction together, and supported each other to trek all the way from Lingnan to the capital...... Naturally, we have become a dependent relationship. Later, he fell into Tanhua and married the daughter of Li Gelao, and the concubine entered the palace, the details must be understood by the concubine not to mention the emperor, right? ”

The emperor paused for a moment, "He lost you." ”

Su Youyi shook her head, "In the past, I also thought that he had lost me, and I also admitted that it was because he had lost me that I had no choice but to enter the palace." ”
