Chapter 51: The Chamber of Secrets
However, this thought made Xu Lan laugh herself, although she knew that her father had great ambitions, but Xu Lan had an intuition that her father just wanted to be an emperor, and he definitely didn't have the urge to be the emperor himself.
But what could be inside my father's secret room?
It was this idea that tortured Xu Lan for a while at night.
However, even if she killed Xu Lan, she never thought that the things in her father's secret room were even more terrifying than the dragon robe made privately.
At the beginning, Xu Lan hadn't understood these things, on those things, there were only letters sent and some incomprehensible notes, but as Xu Lan looked at more and more, he finally understood what these things were, these, they were actually the entire capital, the correspondence between princes and nobles, and some new secrets!
In particular, Xu Lan may have reached the end, there was a thick book underneath, Xu Lan swallowed a mouthful of saliva tremblingly, opened the thick book, and what came into view was her father's handwriting.
In the middle of the book, there are no words of saints, let alone any teaching and reflection, but some secret stories of the princes and nobles of the entire capital are displayed one by one!
For example, Lord Lin had participated in the poisoning of the crown prince in the first place, and although the poison was found by the brother of the deposed empress, the queen's brother could not leave the place under his jurisdiction at will, and rashly sending people into Beijing would attract the attention of others.
Therefore, the elder brother of the queen at that time secretly sent someone to find a few Yangzhou thin horses and dedicated them to the current Lord Lin.
And, on the other hand, because the mother of the former queen and the Lin family have always been not on good terms, Lord Lin admitted that he didn't want to see the son of the former queen become the emperor, so he pushed the boat down the river and let his wife enter the palace and secretly dedicated it to the abolished queen.
There are countless things like this, and they are all recorded in great detail in that book, and even the notes passed between them, and what everyone said is recorded in this book in great detail.
The more Xu Lan read it, the more frightened she became, this book almost gathered the sins of the entire capital together.
Some people are corrupt and take bribes, some people are careless of people's lives, and even more, some people plot to kill the queen and the prince.
At the beginning, Xu Lan was terrifying about the content of this book, but the more she looked at the back, the more terrifying Xu Lan became to the person who wrote this book, that is, her father.
Because, the more Xu Lan turned to the back, the more she found that the paper and handwriting behind the book had been around for a long time, but the handwriting of the book had not changed at all.
What does this mean?
explained that his father, as early as more than ten years ago, had already begun to collect evidence.
Extrapolating the time, at that time, his father was only a concubine of King Xu's mansion.
The more Xu Lan thought about it, the more scared she became, she remembered that her father was just a concubine father at the beginning, and there were two elder brothers, but later, I don't know why, these two brothers fell ill and died one after another, and it was her father's turn to inherit the throne.
Originally, people in the world said that their father was lucky, but Xu Lan, who saw this book, did know that her father was probably far more than luck.
The more she looked, the fear in Xu Lan's heart continued to increase, especially, in the end, Xu Lan saw that the matter of her mother's family finally collapsed.
It turns out that your own mother is like this, you were calculated by your father, and your grandfather, in order to protect his family for Li, married his mother, who was like a flower at the time, to his father, who was only a concubine of King Xu's mansion, and, if Xu Lan is not mistaken, in this book, it was said that the mother was a childhood sweetheart who liked each other at the time.
At that time, the mother married her father, which was also a huge factor in the father's later succession to the throne.
After thinking about this matter clearly, I felt that I didn't feel like I was playing, I don't know why, there was a sudden burst of nausea, but Xu Lan retched a few times, and really didn't spit out anything.
After Xu Lan calmed down for a long time, he realized that the time he spent in this secret room was too long, he turned around and looked at this secret room, and he felt very cold, as if he shouted and felt in his bones.
Xu Lan slowly walked to the small door, took a deep breath, lowered all the fear and disgust in her heart, and quietly listened to the movement outside.
The movement outside was still quiet, Xu Lan was lying on the door, carefully smoking the trumpet switch, suddenly, Xu Lan's hand touched a protrusion, Xu Lan thought for a moment, and pressed the protrusion.
Then, there was a familiar "click", Xu Lan knew that she had got it right, and she couldn't help but relax a lot.
After coming out, Xu Lan found that there was still no one in the study, and she took a long breath.
In fact, if it is said that Xu Lan before was only disappointed and sad with her father, but now Xu Lan has only horror left with her father.
Seeing that her father hadn't come back yet, Xu Lan's heart was really relaxed.
Afraid of causing more trouble, Xu Lan simply tidied up the bookshelf, so that he was not much different from the appearance at the beginning, and then left the study in a hurry.
Left the study, Xu Lan was completely gone, when he came, he was full of self-confidence, on the contrary, when he went back, he only felt that this world was extremely ironic.
His father used his daughter to ignore his daughter's life or death, but she originally thought that he looked down on him only because of his biological mother's low status.
After all, Xu Lan was raised by Princess Xu since she was a child, and her biological mother went early, and Xu Lan had long regarded Princess Xu as her biological mother.
Therefore, Xu Lan has also seen since she was a child how intimate her father is to Princess Xu, when she was young, what she envied the most was the love between her father and Princess Xu, and even, Xu Lan thought since she was a child that couples in the world should be like this.
As a result, today's Xu Lan knows that her father has been using her mother at all.
Even the first time they were together was full of conspiracy.
Come to think of it, if one day, my mother's mother family loses its power, and my father will not hesitate to abandon his mother?
The more she thought about it, the more Xu Lan felt that there was no one worth believing in this world, and she didn't know why, in front of Xu Lan's eyes, she actually remembered the boy who sneaked into her room and visited her by taking advantage of the moonlight.
And what about him? Is he also taking advantage of himself all the time? Use yourself to get close to King Xu's Mansion?
However, immediately, Xu Lan denied this answer in her heart.
No, no, my father used conspiracy to marry his mother because the mother concubine was the daughter of the Duke of Wei, and the Wei family is one of the best princes and nobles in the entire capital.
What about yourself? It's just a concubine of King Xu's Mansion, and even not long ago, she was severely punished by her father, and she offended the concubine of King Chu without knowing it.
Even if you want to use yourself, you don't have any use value? Xu Lan thought patiently and uneasily.
Xu Lan kept talking to herself in her heart for a while afterward, as if she could keep talking about it and not be able to believe it.
"Miss! Miss! ”
Xu Lan was suddenly awakened by the screams in front of her, she raised her head sneeringly, and found that what she was looking at was actually her maid, Baizhu and Baiji.
The two maids looked at Xu Lan anxiously with worried faces.
It turned out that when Bai Zhu and Bai Qi returned to the yard after finishing the things that the young lady explained to the two of them, they actually found that their young lady was no longer in the yard, and then thinking of what happened yesterday, the two maids were so frightened that they lost their souls, and they also reacted that their young lady deliberately broke themselves apart.
The two maids were really afraid that something would go wrong with their young lady, so they all came out to find their young lady, but they didn't dare to look for it with great fanfare, so they could only be two maids, quietly looking for their young lady in the house.
Finally, the two maids, on the way to their master's study, saw Lin, Xu Lan who was not giving up, and at the moment, the two girls were very happy.
Who knows, when even a girl rushed up with joy, I found that my young lady's face was actually at a loss, not to mention hearing myself speak, but I didn't even know that the two maids were approaching.
This time, it's really true, the two maids were scared, that is, at the beginning, Xu Lan was severely punished by Xu Wangye, and she had a high fever, but she was not so delirious, and she didn't even know that people were in front of her.
Xu Lan looked back and found that her two maids had already found herself, and their faces were full of panic.
If it was in the past, Xu Lan would definitely appease the two of them, but today's Xu Lan was really hit, and now she can't even stabilize her emotions, let alone comfort the two maids.
Therefore, Xu Lan just looked at Lian Yi in a daze and said, "Why are you here?" Didn't I command you to do things? You are becoming more and more disobedient! Come back with me, this is not a place for you to come casually. ”
Bai Zhu and Bai Qi glanced at each other, they grew up with Xu Lan since they were children, and naturally knew that their young lady's state was extremely wrong.
