Chapter Forty-Eight: A Shocking Secret

Although the master tried to suppress his emotions and made a calm face, there was still endless sentimentality in his voice, which made me feel distressed. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad. I didn't know your child was ......"

The master helped me straighten my hair bun and smiled slightly, with a little bitterness: "It's been more than twenty years, and time has diluted everything." What's more, the master still has you now. It's just that today is the day of your time, and I am back here again, touching the scene, and it is inevitable to feel sad for a while. ”

"Well," I replied very shallowly, "Master, Qing is your 'daughter', and I will always accompany you and honor you for the rest of my life." ”

The master stroked my hair with satisfaction: "If you say stupid things, is it possible that you want to accompany the master back to Yunwu Mountain?" ”

"Master, do you want to go back to Cloud Mountain?" I was taken aback and asked.

The master nodded: "I have already met the Queen Mother yesterday, and promised her that after you and Lu, I will leave the capital and return to Yunwu Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"No, master, if you leave, I'll be with you." I stood up angrily: "You have only lived in the capital for a few days just now, why do you want to leave me alone?" ”

"Yes, auntie, Qing finally looked forward to you, no matter what, I have to stay for a little longer." Liang Ci also persuaded loudly: "What's more, my mother is now poisoned in her body, and I have to bother you." ”

The master looked at Liang Ci, and shook his head lovingly: "Auntie is naturally reluctant to let you go, when you miss your aunt, just go to Yunwu Mountain with Qing to live." As for your mother's body, you don't have to worry too much, I know my sister's temperament, she must have her own plans, so she can't listen to our kind words and persuasions. ”

"Don't my mother even believe you?"

The master smiled bitterly and said: "If the Queen Mother is close to my sister, do you think she will be so intolerant of Qing and embarrassed everywhere?" ”

Liang Ci and I were a little surprised when I heard this, all along, the Queen Mother has been targeting me everywhere, I thought I was bewitched by Qingqing's Gu, could it be that it has anything to do with the master?

"Why, master, didn't the Queen Mother trust you very much at the beginning, and deliberately took you into the palace to take care of the emperor?" I asked, a little confused.

"People will always change in their pursuits, deviating from the original direction and original intention, especially in a big dye vat like the palace, power, status, and glory are enough to 'blind' a person."

I remembered the conversation between the master and my stepmother that day, and I thought to myself: "Is it because of the Qilin Order?" ”

The master was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Liang Ci frowned slightly: "Auntie, what kind of secret is behind this Qilin Order?" Why did Mrs. Zhongyong oppose me 'handing over' the Qilin Order? ”

The master looked up at Liang Ci and thought for a long time before he spoke: "Have you heard of a saying: dragons give birth to nine sons, the unicorn is precious, and the golden dragon is respected?" ”

Liang Ci nodded: "So this Qilin Order is a piece of scrap iron in front of the Golden Dragon Order." ”

The master shook his head: "That's because you don't know, there are two unknown secrets behind these words: the golden dragon lost his virtue and replaced it." ”

Liang Ci couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "How is it possible?!" ”

"When he left the king's ancestors, he gave up the throne to the righteous brothers who were born and died with him, that is, the ancestor of the Gu family, the founding emperor of the Chang'an Dynasty. Your ancestors were grateful for their kindness, and specially created this unicorn order, and issued a secret decree: the golden dragon is unvirtuous and ungrateful, and the unicorn can replace it. The implication is that the military power of the world is shared, and the country is shared.

The two brothers are both righteous and honest people, and no one expected that this unicorn order would be passed down to the future, and it would become a thorn in the heart of the emperors of Chang'an. Where the couch is reclining, how can others sleep peacefully, and which emperor can tolerate others eyeing his throne? Even if it is for the sake of the Gu family, he forgot about life and death, and left the palace with all his might. ”

"Master, do you mean to say that he was ...... when he left the king" My heart was shocked, could it be that there was another hidden reason for the death of the king?

"If you tell you frankly, it may be a bit rebellious, but Lord Qi, now that you are in charge of the Qilin Order, you are the person who cares about Qingxin. There are some words that I don't vomit or feel unhappy when I leave. ”

The master turned his head to look at Liang Ci: "When I left the king to go on the expedition, I was already four months pregnant, and I agreed that when he returned triumphantly, the first emperor and his sister would give me a marriage." Unexpectedly, the situation on the front line reversed, the enemy army suddenly increased its troops, and the reinforcements sent by the imperial court lost the Golden Dragon Order, delaying the fighter planes and causing the entire army of Liwang to be annihilated.

I looked through the autumn water, and in the end I only hoped for his bad news, a huge one left the palace, and it fell apart in an instant.

I was seriously ill in the palace, and when I was in a coma, my sister sent a royal doctor to come to see me, and learned the secret that I was pregnant, and insisted that I kill the fetus in my womb under the pretext of my lifelong happiness and honor. Naturally, I wouldn't agree, and after a big quarrel with my sister, I secretly left the palace. Originally, I decided to find a hidden place, give birth to a fetus in the womb, and leave the bloodline for the time being.

The night before I left Beijing, I couldn't help but go back to the palace, which had already been empty. There, I met the personal 'squire' who was born and died with the king. He 'handed over' the Xuantie Qilin Order that the king had left with him, saying that before he died in battle, he told him to personally 'hand' it over to my hands and leave it to the unborn child. The 'guard' escaped in the chaos of the war, left a 'life', and then secretly returned to the capital according to the 'handover' of the king before his death.

Unexpectedly, after he entered Beijing, his identity was revealed, and he was chased and killed many times. I was seriously ill for a long time, and I was in the deep palace all the time, and he couldn't see me at all, so he had no choice but to sneak into the palace and wait for me for three days and three nights. He also told me that all the 'guards' who stayed in the palace were assassinated, and none of them survived.

The guard's words reminded me of the secret that King Liwang had told me about the Qilin Order, and naturally I was suspicious of his death, so I decided to go back to the palace and ask my sister for a clear understanding.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden fire in the house, and the fire spread rapidly, and in a moment, it was full of fire. The 'squire' died in the fire in order to save me. I hid next to the spring in the Tai'yin' land, and I died nine times before I escaped, and I was in a coma for three months.

When I woke up, I was in a courtyard dozens of miles away from the city, and my sister sent no less than dozens of skilled soldiers to guard me.

But the unicorn order on my body disappeared at that time.

My sister has always been strong, and I don't know why she put me under house arrest, forbidding me from contact with the outside world, and why she took away the unicorn order left to me by the king. I am not willing to leave the king's death, and I can't be sorry for the 'squire' guards who sacrificed for me, so I vow to find the Qilin Order back and find out the real culprit behind them for them.

The old man of Tianyuan and the king of Li are irreversible 'friends', and he once taught me a technique of 'flowering' rain in the sky to defend myself. I decided to take local materials myself, catch some poisonous insects, snakes and ants, refine poison and quench needles, and find a way to escape. Unfortunately, before the poison was refined, I suddenly fainted inexplicably.

When I woke up, my sister sat next to me, and she told me that when I was refining poison, I had affected the fetus in my womb and unfortunately died prematurely. ”

I couldn't help but hold the master's hand tightly, how did the master survive at that time? If the king is martyred and the child dies, won't all thoughts be discouraged and there is nothing to love?

The master smiled bitterly: "How could I believe my sister's words, I have been refining poisons since I was a child, I know these poisons well, and I have always been cautious, how could I harm my own children?" Before I fell into a coma, I could clearly feel the movements of the fetus in my womb. Because my sister has always disapproved of me keeping the baby, I think she must have killed my baby.

I almost hysterically tossed with my sister and aggressively 'forced' people to question, and in desperation, my sister told me that she was only doing this to save my 'life' and had to do it.

At that time, my sister was already a country, and there was something she had to do. I asked her if it was the emperor who set me to death because of the Qilin Order?

My sister avoided this question and only told me that since the king had died, there was naturally no need for the Qilin Order to continue to be passed on. If I give birth to Lin'er, according to the spleen and 'sex' of the first emperor, my life and that of the child will not be guaranteed. Now that the child has died, the Qilin Order has been taken away by her and handed over to the first emperor, she collected the bones of the 'attendant' guard, buried it next to the tomb of King Li, and declared that I committed suicide by martyrdom, that is to say, there is no Tang Xiyue in the world anymore.

My sister begged me, saying that once I 'appeared', then my 'life' would be lost, and she would also be punished for the crime of bullying the king, and Chang'an's life would be over. She begged me to see the face of Chang'an, endure it, fly away, and never set foot in the capital again.

I know that my sister is not alarmist, and the fact that so many 'servants' and servants from the palace have all been killed has already explained everything. The first emperor has always been quite jealous of leaving the king, and he wanted to take back the Qilin Order, how could he let go of such an opportunity? My sister must have taken a great risk to save me from the hands of the first emperor, how could I bear to drag her and Chang'an down. In desperation, I could only swallow my anger and leave the country. ”

"Impossible, my father is wise and martial, and he rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, how can he use such despicable means?" The cool words are unbelievable.

"Benevolence rules the world? Then let me ask you, when your father mobilized the army to rescue, the general was killed, and the golden dragon order did not know where to go. But later, why did it appear in the hands of Chang'an? The Golden Dragon Order can hold the military power in the world, how can your father and emperor rest assured that he will be 'handed over' to a little-known little general? Did Lord Qi doubt these questions? Also, why did the palace burn down in the first place? It was because the first emperor wanted to destroy everything in the palace, including the secret decree. ”

Liang Ci was silent. There is no way to refute the master's words. The first emperor must be a majestic and divine existence in Liang Ci's mind, and it is definitely impossible to accept this matter so easily for a while.
