Chu Lixue couldn't believe her eyes, that person was actually King An? What about the king? That Jiang Nan's appearance is so similar to King Jing, how can he be King An? Could it be that she misinformed?

After Jiang Bai's left, Chu Lixue walked out of the corner, "Princess, what's wrong with you?" Remnant Xue said softly.

"Ye Wushuang is not checking the wrong direction, the person who has something to do with Jiang Bai's family is King An, not King Jing."

"Princess, I shouted for my master, the lord didn't say that Jiang Nan was the biological father and the king, the news we found has always pointed to King An." Remnant Xue said lightly.

Chu Lixue thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was really like this, Ye Wushuang just said that she had found some news, and did not directly say that the person was King Jing, the reason why she thought that person was King Jing was because she was on the side of Yunshui Villa, which made her have a wrong judgment.

If it wasn't for her dazzle just now, then everything would make sense, why would those officials obey Jiang Nan, who has no official title and no title, not because he is the eldest son of the Jiang Guogong Mansion, but because he is the son of King An.

There is one more thing that Chu Lixue can't figure out, that is, why did Princess An die of blood collapse in the first place? It seems that she will have to go to the Dingguo Mansion for a while to unravel the mystery.

Leaving Qingliang Temple, Chu Lixue ordered the carriage to come to the Dingguo Mansion, and when the little servant saw that it was the carriage of Chen Wangfu, he quickly carried a stool and ran over, "County Lord, why did you come back today, and there was no news in advance." ”

"Ah Fu, is my mother at home?" Chu Lixue got off the carriage and said aside.

"County Lord, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess went to Princess Yajuan's mansion early this morning, saying that Princess Yajuan is sick, go over and take a look." Ah Fu said respectfully.

"And what about the father? Are you back? ”

"Grandpa Guo......" Before Ah Fu finished speaking, he saw the eldest princess's carriage slowly approaching this way.

"County Lord, the eldest princess is back." Ah Fu looked at the slowly approaching carriage lane.

Chu Lixue turned around and looked, and sure enough, the eldest princess's carriage came back, and she immediately stood aside and waited. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, Chu Lixue took the initiative to step forward to help the eldest princess who had just come out of the carriage.

The eldest princess was also very surprised when she saw that it was Chu Lixue, "Qinghe, why are you?" When I passed by the gate of King Chen's mansion, my mother still wanted to go to see you, and the little guy guarding the door said that you went to Qingliang Temple to make incense, but I didn't expect you to come to me. ”

"Mother, my daughter originally went to Qingliang Temple to make incense, but my daughter met someone and knew some things, so I wanted to ask my mother about some old things."

"Okay, since it's an old story, let's go in and talk slowly." The eldest princess said softly. Immediately, taking Chu Lixue's hand, he walked into the Dingguo Mansion.

Coming to the flower hall, after the eldest princess and Chu Lixue sat down, the eldest princess took the lead in speaking, "Qinghe, if you want to know anything, just ask." ”

"Mother, then I'll ask."

Hearing this, the eldest princess nodded, and Chu Lixue pondered for a moment, "Mother, do you know the former Princess An?" ”

"You mean Princess An, Xu?"

"Well, yes."

"Of course I do, and we're still very good friends, so why did you mention her so well?"

"Mother, I don't know why Princess An died in the first place?"

"Alas......" the eldest princess sighed, and then continued: "It was because of the blood collapse. ”

"Bloodshed?" Chu Lixue was puzzled, how could a noble princess die because of a blood collapse, unless she had received a lot of damage or a big blow.

"Yes, it was a very happy thing to think that Princess An was pregnant at the beginning, but unexpectedly, when she was seven months pregnant, she suddenly gave birth prematurely, and had postpartum hemorrhage, gave birth to a stillborn child, and died."

Hearing this, Chu Lixue was very shocked, it seems that her guess was not wrong, Princess An's death was not an accident, it was a man-made accident, but the family that could become a princess was not an ordinary family, didn't Princess An's maiden family suspect it at the beginning?

"Mother, usually a pregnant woman will be well raised at home, how can she suddenly be born prematurely? But Princess Na'an is in weak health, or what blow has she suffered? ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess was slightly stunned, Chu Lixue is really good, she has already thought of this step, it seems that some things can't be hidden after all, even if you can hide it from the world, you can't hide it from your conscience, even if you hide your conscience, you can't hide it from the sky.

"Qinghe, it seems that some things can't be buried forever after all. Well, then I'll tell you. The eldest princess took a deep breath, and then continued: "During Princess An's pregnancy, she discovered that King An had a secret private meeting with someone, and that person, that person was ...... It's ......"

"It's Jiang Guogong's current princess, Jiang Bai, right?"

Suddenly, the eldest princess was slightly stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"Mother, Qinghe not only knows that there is a matter between King An and Jiang Bai, but also knows that Jiang Nan is the son of Bai and King An, not a member of the Jiang family."

"You all know, in fact, Jiang Guogong didn't want to marry Jiang Bai's family, just because the Bai family already had a concubine, you know, the emperor decreed marriage, no one dared to disobey, no one could. Women will always be just commodities for men to consolidate their power. ”

Listening to the words of the eldest princess, Chu Lixue really felt sad for the women living in this era, it is indeed not easy to marry a man who is sincere to herself, a man can have three wives and four concubines, and a woman has to start from the beginning, if she is jealous that her husband has another woman, she may be divorced, it is really the sadness of women in this era.

"Mother, even if Princess Na'an knows, at most let Jiang Bai marry into the mansion as a side concubine, why is she still angry?"

"The Xu family is not an enlightened person, and I don't know why King An didn't marry the Bai family." The eldest princess said lightly.

After listening to the narration of the eldest princess, Chu Lixue already had some conclusions in her heart, it was not that the Xu family was jealous, nor was it that King An was unwilling to marry the Bai family, maybe the Xu family was born prematurely and collapsed, not because she bumped into her husband and had a private meeting with others, but because of something else, what the hell? Maybe...... Maybe it was because she found out that King An was going to rebel, so she was killed like this.

Think about King Chen's disaster relief and injury, the black-clothed man attacking the Dingguo Mansion at night, and the burning of grain and grass, etc., these things are all in order to disintegrate the emperor's strength, if the emperor falls now, he has no heirs, and the most likely person to ascend the throne is King Chen, and Dingguo Gong and others are from King Chen's faction, so King An wants to clear the obstacles for his own road to the throne. Yes, it must be so, it seems that to find King An's lair, you have to get it from the mouth of the man in black.

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue summoned Rean Xue and asked her to interrogate the black-clothed man locked up in the firewood room in the mansion with Li Ping, hoping to open a breakthrough.

In the firewood room, the man in black has been locked up for ten days, these ten days, in addition to a cold steamed bun and a bowl of cold water every day, he can only watch his companions die of poison one by one, under this torment, his psychological defense line is also being broken down little by little, but he wants to die, but he can't die, his hands and feet don't even have the strength to serve the bowl, every day there is a special person, with a steamed bun dipped in cold water into his mouth.

"How? Have you figured it out, did you tell me about your nest? Or do you continue to be hard-mouthed? Li Ping leaned against the door and looked at the decadent man in black and smiled evilly.

"Why didn't you kill me? Give me a good time? If I want to betray my master, it is impossible. The man in black still said strongly.

"Oh? It's still so hard-mouthed, it seems that you still haven't thought it through, Princess Fang just said, I'm afraid I can't figure it out if you stay here, I'll take you to new places in a while, and give you a new environment. After finishing speaking, he motioned to the guards behind him to drag the man in black out, and came to the tiger cage in a moment.

Li Ping glanced at the tiger that was chasing a goat inside, and said to the black-clothed man behind him: "What about this tiger, it was raised by King Chen since childhood, in order to keep the tiger from losing its wildness, we often send some goats, wild boars, etc., to train the tiger's ability to prey, before a guy wanted to steal something from King Chen's mansion, accidentally went the wrong way, ran into the tiger cage, he was bitten to death by the tiger, do you know where the tiger bites?" ”

"Where did you bite?" The man in black said in horror.

"I bit my neck, and when I went down, blood spurted out, and the man was still convulsing until he died." Li Ping saw that the man in black was already a little frightened, and immediately continued; "If you don't believe it, go in and try it, at most it's just dinner to be a tiger."

Dinner for the Tiger? He doesn't want to be a tiger's dinner, now that he has reached such a field, his master will not come to save him, even if he goes back now, the master will no longer trust him, he is also a dead end, rather than this, it is better to tell him what he knows, maybe he can be exchanged for a whole corpse.

"Okay, what do you want to know? I'll tell you all, but I have one condition. ”

"Do you still dare to negotiate terms with us? Why are you? Li Ping raised his eyebrows. He had never seen such a daring killer, and he actually dared to negotiate terms with King Chen's Mansion.

"If you have any conditions, just say it, this king wants to hear it, if your conditions are not too much, this king may be able to agree to your request." King Chen said as he walked towards this direction.

"My conditions are very simple, do I tell the mastermind behind the scenes, and then tell me his secret stronghold, and you will give me a whole corpse?"

"No, as long as you are willing to tell the secret stronghold of the mastermind behind the scenes, not only will Concubine Ben not kill you, but will also give you an antidote, and give you a sum of silver, so that you can live a dull life from now on, are you willing?"

"Okay, then I'll ......"
