Su Zi raised his eyebrows and looked at Old Man Mei, compared to Old Lady Mei who lived in the inner house all the year round, Old Man Mei was much more transparent about many things, even if he came to Mei Mansion today, he had never seen Old Man Mei and never said a word, but he asked his mother about the cause of death as soon as he opened his mouth, which was enough to explain his wisdom.

Su Ziqi didn't answer him immediately, but looked at Old Man Mei and said, "Grandfather, grandmother just told me something about the past, about my mother, my father, grandmother said that my father is very affectionate, what do you think?" ”

Old Man Mei snorted, "That's a guy who pretends to be confused." Your grandmother is dazzled. ”

Su Zi hooked his lips, "Since my grandfather understands it, tell me about my father." ”

Old man Mei waved his hand, "There is nothing to say, back then, your father took out the heirloom, in exchange for the king of southern Xinjiang to give your mother a cold insect Gu, and then returned to Beijing, entered the palace to ask the emperor for marriage, the emperor asked me, because the Mei Mansion owes him kindness, I can't refuse, your mother said that if you let her repay the debt with her body, it is better to die, but it can't withstand your father's thoughts, after getting drunk, let your mother lose her body to him, and your mother responded." When your mother was alive, he treated her very well, and after giving birth to you, he threw himself on you, and as for your mother, she forgot the heavens endlessly, and no one asked her again. ”

Su Zi stared at Old Man Mei, "Grandfather, what does the Mei family think about the Southern Chu River and the Imperial Bureau, after so many years?" ”

Old Man Mei narrowed his eyes, "Boy, you came to Mei Mansion today, it seems that you are here to inquire about His Royal Highness the Prince?" Since childhood, you didn't like each other, why did you change your temperament now? Is there anything you can't say about this? ”

"My grandfather doesn't care what I do with him, he just answers my questions." Su Zi touched the fur of the little fox, and his movements were extremely light.

Old Man Mei's gaze fell on his hand, "Where did the little thing come from?" ”

"Picked it up." Su Ziqi still coped with it.

"Pick up? Where can you pick up such a cheap little thing? This white fox has an extraordinary origin, right? "Old Man Mei is not as easy to fool as Old Madam Mei, "You are old when I am old, and you can deal with fooling me casually, right?" ”

Su Zi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to Old Man Mei's knowledge.

Old Man Mei didn't care about him, "The Mei Mansion is loyal to the Southern Chu River and the Southern Chu royal family, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also know it, so he dares to use Yan'er and Yu'er." As for what you came to investigate, my grandfather didn't hide it from you, I know something, but I don't know if it's what you want. ”

Su Ziqi looked at him, "Grandfather, please speak." ”

Old Man Mei said, "There are three things, one is that someone wanted to kill your aunt back then, and used the cold insect Gu in southern Xinjiang, and your mother blocked it for your aunt, and later, I found out that person was Princess Lingnan, and Princess Lingnan was Zhao Zaifu's sister; One is that your mother went to southern Xinjiang, the king of southern Xinjiang fell in love with her and wanted to keep her in southern Xinjiang, your father used the heirloom in exchange, and the heirloom that could be favored by the king of southern Xinjiang was said to be the ancient jade that could warm people and Gu worms, and after coming back, your father was punished by your grandfather to kneel in the ancestral hall for seven days; The third incident is that you were poisoned with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, and your aunt divided the medicine into two and gave it to the two of you, and the person behind the poison was also the princess of Lingnan. ”

Su Ziqi looked at Old Man Mei, "Princess Lingnan? A Lingnan princess who is unknown in the Lingnan palace and is ridden by the concubine? ”

Old Man Mei said, "It's her, she likes the current emperor." Back then, it was the news that the emperor and the Mei Mansion and the Wuwei Hou Mansion jointly found out. However, for the sake of Lingnan peace and for the sake of Zhao Zaifu's face, Zhao Zaifu severed the relationship with his sister, and the emperor secretly gave it to the king of Lingnan, so the king of Lingnan banned the princess of Lingnan in disguise in the palace. ”

"Where did her Cold Worm Gu come from?" Su Zi asked, "And where did the poison that harmed me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come from?" ”

"The cold insect Gu is naturally from southern Xinjiang, her poison is from the king of southern Xinjiang, King Li sent an envoy to Beijing back then, and fell in love with her, she coaxed King Li to give her something harmful, just to harm your aunt. Later, instead of harming your aunt, you did harm your mother. Old Man Mei said, "As for the poison in his hand, it's the same." ”

"A woman's jealousy?" Su Zi raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't you kill him?" ”

"The emperor was furious and wanted to kill him, but your father suggested that if you die happily, you should let her suffer alive. For so many years, she has suffered a lot of sins in the Lingnan Palace. Old Man Mei said.

Su Ziqi stopped talking.

Old Man Mei looked at him, "You know everything you should know, you should tell your mother's cause of death now, right?" When you find out, tell me. ”

Su Zi looked at the white hair on Old Man Mei's sideburns, the two beloved daughters died early, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, he didn't necessarily feel better than Yun Chi and him, so he simply said that the phoenix wood was bred by the blood of the dead Gu.

When Old Man Mei heard this, his face gradually turned white, and after a while, he said, "I see, Southern Xinjiang is poisonous and harmful." The words fell, and he said, "The king of southern Xinjiang, this damn thing, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kill him when he recovered southern Xinjiang?" ”

There is no need to think about the reason why the king of southern Xinjiang harmed people, hundreds of years ago, the small countries in the southwest wanted to get rid of the fate of the subordination of southern Chu, so the assassination of poisoning was not only the king of southern Xinjiang against Southern Chu, but also the king of Southern Chu secretly did a lot against the king of southern Xinjiang. It's just that you can't tear your face on the surface, and you have to maintain a circle of harmony. After all, the tug-of-war has lasted for 400 years, and neither Southern Chu nor the small countries in Southern Xinjiang can easily start a war, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

By a secret phoenix tree, the current queen and Mrs. Wu Weihou were killed, or if it weren't for Yun Chi's good life, he would have been killed long ago, then he could only blame himself for not investigating.

However, now, time has passed, and the king of southern Xinjiang probably didn't expect that before the secret of the phoenix wood broke out, the small countries in the southwest, including southern Xinjiang, no longer existed, and were recovered by Yun Chi in advance.

"Who else knows about this?" Old Man Mei asked again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince informed the Emperor, and I informed my grandfather." Su Zi slashed.

Old Man Mei was stunned, "Didn't tell your father?" ”

"He doesn't need to know." Su Ziqi said unceremoniously, "A person who can't even see through his son still doesn't know." ”

Old Man Mei sighed when he heard this, Su Zi slashed and guarded Wu Wei to this point, it can be seen that freezing three feet is not a day's cold. He said, "Well, in this world, it is your juniors who are in charge." ”

Su Zi was noncommittal.

The two stopped talking, and Old Man Mei stood up, "Let's go, go to dinner." ”

Su Zi stood up with the little fox in his arms, and walked out of his mother's yard with Old Man Mei.

After having lunch in the Mei Mansion, it was not early when she returned to the courtyard of the prince of Wuwei Hou's mansion, Liu Fuxiang stood at the door of the courtyard of the prince, wearing thin clothes, her hair was scattered, her body was covered with a layer of snow, her face was white from the cold, obviously, she had been waiting for a long time.

Su Zi grimaced and stopped to look at her.

At that time, he was young, he liked it, but he didn't necessarily love much, and the most unbearable thing for him was not that she married someone else, and she didn't hug the pipa, but that she married her father when her mother's bones were not cold.

After his mother's death, he encountered a double betrayal, and Su Zi was slashed when he was a teenager, and the sky fell apart in an instant.

So far, she is standing in front of him, he has long forgotten what those relationships and some likes were like, his memory is blank, and what he sees now is just disgust, and he can't wait to take a second look, and his eyes are dirty.

He said in a cold voice, "Mu He, send your stepwife back." ”

Liu Fuxiang kept looking at Su Zi and clearly saw that the young man had now grown into a young man, cold as cold jade, with clear wind and bones, he was holding a green glazed umbrella, his disgust in his eyes was not concealed, and his face was expressionless.

She stood in the snow for an hour, and she didn't feel cold, but at this moment, she suddenly got cold to the bone marrow.

She opened her mouth, and when Mu He approached to invite her, she spoke, "Zi Chop, don't blame me, if I didn't marry Hou Ye back then, I could only hang myself with a rope, do you prefer me to die rather than marry Hou Ye and live?" ”

Su Zi was about to enter the courtyard, but he paused when he heard the words, but he didn't look back.

"Isn't it?" Liu Fuxiang stared at his back persistently.

Su Zi looked at the courtyard door, walked forward coldly, and spit out a word, "Yes." ”

Liu Fuxiang smiled miserably, "I was reluctant to die back then, I was wrong, in the past five years, I have had enough, today, I will pay you back......" After speaking, she took out the golden hairpin suddenly, and in an instant, she pierced her throat, and in an instant, blood poured into her body, and her body fell softly on the snow.

The maidservant beside her was startled and shouted in shock, "Step lady! ”

Mu He was also shocked and blurted out, "Stepwife! ”

Su Zi turned around sharply, and saw Liu Fuxiang who fell to the ground, with a golden hairpin in her neck, and a little blood on the snow in front of her, like a piece of red plum petals on the ground.

Maybe it was because her strength was not enough and she didn't die immediately, but with such strength, the divine doctor couldn't be saved when he came, which shows that she had the intention of dying. She opened her eyes, held the golden hairpin, shook her hands, looked up at Su Ziqi with a slightly upturned face, the corners of her mouth were glutinous, and she wanted to say something.

Su Ziqi's eyes darkened.

Liu Fuxiang threw the golden hairpin and raised her hand to him with great effort.

Su Zi chop paused in place for a moment, and finally walked towards her, stood in front of her, and said expressionlessly, "If you didn't die back then, why die now?" ”
