Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Truth<下>

There was a young man standing by the door, with an outstanding posture, his face turned against the light, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his voice was somewhat familiar.

The woman on the bed finally kissed the little baby, closed her eyes fiercely, and said to the little palace maid: "Ziyu, ...... her Take it away, follow, follow Pei, Master Pei out of the palace...... Later...... Take good care of her......"

"But the mother ......"

“…… Come on! ”

The man turned around and left with the little palace maid, and the figure did not hesitate for a moment, but Xia Taozhi clearly saw that when he turned around, a cold teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye, fell to the ground, and fell into several petals.

There was silence all around, the wind was blowing in the courtyard, and a peach blossom petal drifted into the room along the breeze and fell to the woman's pillow, and the crystal teardrops fell on the petals, and she finally closed her eyes slowly.

"Mother......!!!

Xia Taozhi shouted and opened her eyes, and sat up hoarsely as she shouted, it took her a long time to tell that this was a dream...... But the picture in the dream was so real, she seemed to really see her mother close her eyes in front of her eyes and swallow her breath.

She raised her hands to cover her face in pain, and the faces of the people in her dreams flashed in front of her eyes one by one, and she suddenly raised her head, her eyes glowing with cold murderous intent.

Avenge!

She got up and got out of bed and stumbled towards the door.

It was a very strange room, surrounded by walls, with no windows and only one single door. She had barely taken two steps when she saw her master push open the door and walk in, carrying a basket in his hand.

"Awake?"

She didn't speak, she didn't speak, she walked straight forward.

Master stopped in front of her, "Where are you going?" ”

She spat out a few words from between her teeth: "Go for revenge!" "Kill the concubine! Avenge her mother, adoptive father and mother, and the souls of the thirty-six people in Yudong Village!

But the master said, "She's dead......

She didn't react for a while, and looked at the master suspiciously, until the master repeated in a deep voice: "Concubine Shu is dead, and she has been killed." ”

She staggered back a few steps and muttered, "...... He's dead? ”

How did that vicious woman die? She hasn't taken revenge yet! She clenched her fists and asked unwillingly, "...... Who killed it? ”

Seeing her like this, the Master sighed and brought her to the table and sat down.

"Your face is very bad, so you should rest......"

She didn't listen at all, and repeated stubbornly: "...... Who killed it?! ”

The master said, "Who else can there be?" Naturally, it's your husband. ”

She was stunned, "My husband ...... it" Yes, this does seem to be something that the tsundere prince would do, but ...... "Why did he hide it from me, obviously he already knew the truth......"

Her heart sank, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, what was he hiding from her......

At that time, she was in the Chu Palace, and the portrait of Concubine Xian that Li Huai showed her must have been secretly manipulated by the tsundere prince, in order to prevent her from discovering her life experience. Since then, the tsundere prince has known her true identity, and since then, he has been deliberately keeping her in the dark.

The master said: "What kind of person your husband is, you know better than the teacher, since he is bound to win the throne of the East Palace, Concubine Shu will definitely be destroyed." ”

So...... Therefore, the tsundere prince killed Concubine Shu not to avenge her, but to prevent Song Yuanxi's life experience from being exposed, in the final analysis, it was for himself and for his position as the crown prince. Now that the mastermind behind the murder of her mother, adoptive parents and the thirty-six people in Yudong Village is dead, she does not feel relieved, there is so much concealment and deception between her and the tsundere prince, can she still return to him and continue to get along with him as if nothing has happened? If not, where should she go......

Master took food out of the basket and placed it on the table, took out two more jugs of wine and handed her a jug.

"People are iron and steel, no matter what happens, you must have enough food and drink to have the strength to deal with it."

The aroma of the food wafted over, she suddenly surged a strong feeling of nausea, almost wanted to vomit, in a hurry, she hurriedly picked up the wine jug, poured a sip of it, the warm wine into the throat, the fragrance overflowed, refreshing, this barely suppressed the feeling.

"What's wrong with you?" The master frowned, grabbed her hand and probed the pulse, and when he probed, his face changed drastically, "You ......"

She stroked her chest and gasped, "What's wrong with me, Master?" ”

The master looked at her fixedly for a long time before letting go of her hand and shaking his head: "It's nothing...... You had a bit of a cold last night when the wind blew last night. ”

The aroma of the wine stimulated her sense of smell, and she subconsciously picked up the flask and wanted to pour another sip, but the master snatched the flask from her hand and said, "You can't drink now!" ”

"Why?"

"In short, it's just not allowed to drink! You don't even listen to what you say, do you? ”

She withdrew her hand stupidly, looking a little pitiful, God knows how much she wants to get drunk now!

The old man was also a little unbearable, touched her head, and coaxed: "You are not in good health now, when you are well, go back to Qingfeng Temple, Master's wine cellar is open, you can drink as much as you want!" ”

She smiled bitterly, Qingfeng Guan, wine cellar, wind music brewing...... These memories felt like a lifetime away to her.

"Now that my enemy is dead, I don't know if this revenge is revenge......

"Who said your revenge has been avenged?"

"Yes...... Isn't Concubine Shu dead? ”

"You think your enemy is just a concubine?"

She looked at his master puzzled, could she have other enemies? Could it be Wu Bi? can look at Xuanyuan Geng's appearance, Wu Bi should also be dead.

Master's face sank, he raised his head and took a sip of wine, and asked her, "Do you know where this is?" ”

She shook her head.

"This is the ...... of the Lanyue Palace"

She was shocked, Lanyue Palace?! Isn't this where her mother lived before she died? And why are they still in the Chu Palace, she thinks that the master has taken her away from Chu Jing......

She looked around and wondered, this place did not look like a palace, but more like a stone chamber.

The master said: "I haven't finished talking about it yet, this is the secret room in the Lanyue Palace, which I dug before......"

"You, you dug before? Master...... Who are you? ”

The master was silent, looked at her and said, "Didn't you already guess everything?" ”

“…… Are you Pei Renqing? ”

"Yes."

"That'...... You and my mother ......."

The master raised his head and poured another sip of wine, then sighed, looked at her sadly and said, "If it weren't for Emperor Chu's sword snatching love, you would have called me dad now......

Xia Taozhi: "......"

Listen to the master's meaning, or did Emperor Chu break them up? But how did she hear Xia Xiang say that Concubine Xian and Emperor Chu were in love?

When the master saw that she didn't believe it, he didn't want to say more, but said, "The matter between me and your mother has passed, so don't mention it...... But you must know that the person who really forced your mother to death was not Concubine Shu, but your own father, the current Emperor Chu. He's your real enemy! ”

"...... my real enemy?"

"Not bad. Your mother used to be a chic and unrestrained character, and she longed for a free and unrestrained life the most, and the world left her at ease. Since entering the palace as a concubine, she has been seriously injured by the gossip in the palace, and often weeps secretly. Coupled with Emperor Chu's distrust of her, it was tantamount to stabbing a knife in her heart, forcing her to a dead end step by step...... In the end, it was because he listened to the rumors and believed that your mother had an affair with me, and refused to come to see her for the last time when she was dying. Your mother died with hatred......"

Xia Taozhi stopped talking.

She had heard Xia Xiang talk about this past before, and now she knew the truth, and it was false to say that she didn't hate Emperor Chu. But she didn't want to think about it, did she want to let her kill Emperor Chu with her own hands to avenge her mother? Would her mother want her to do that?

In a trance, an old voice appeared in her mind crying, when she hid behind the screen of the Lanyue Palace, and heard Emperor Chu's crying and repentance, he also regretted it, didn't he?

Seeing that she didn't speak, the master's expression became a little cold, and he said coldly: "What, aren't you shouting to avenge your mother?" Scared? ”

"Yes...... But he's my father after all......"

"Daddy?" The master sneered, as if he had heard some big joke, and asked, "Haven't you heard of how your husband has survived in the Chu Palace since he was a child?" Did Emperor Chu care about his life and death? If I hadn't exchanged you with a newborn baby, what happened to Song Yuanxi would have been what happened to you! Such a person is also worthy of being your father?! ”

Xia Taozhi's face turned a little paler. Master's words were like knives stuck in her heart. Indeed, if she hadn't been taken out of the palace as soon as she was born, you can imagine what kind of life she would have faced......

But she ...... I still can't kill my own father!

Seeing that she was still silent, the master seemed to be angry, and the look on his face was frighteningly cold, he stood up, pointed at her and scolded, "Okay, good! You're your father's daughter! If I tell you again, you not only bear your mother's hatred, but also the blood hatred of the 108 members of the Xie family who were exterminated, how will you be treated?! ”

She was scolded a little dazed, and she couldn't react for a while, what ...... What is the ...... of extermination?

The master ignored it, pointed at her nose and scolded: "As a descendant of the Xie family, you have the blood of the Xie family in your bones, do you also smile at the hatred of the extermination of the clan?" How can you be worthy of your grandfather, how can you be worthy of your clansmen, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family! Your grandfather, Xie Shining, was loyal and courageous all his life, and made great contributions to Dachu, but he was framed by traitors for embezzling military salaries. That bastard dad of yours actually convicted your grandfather of guilt after listening to one side of the story, dismissed him, and exiled the whole family to the frontier! On the way to the frontier, they were killed by the killers who had already been ambushed, and one hundred and eight people died all of them overnight. You say, should you avenge this revenge?! ”

You say, should this revenge be avenged......

Xia Taozhi's mind was blank, and this sentence echoed over and over again, as if someone had poured a spoonful of hot oil on her heart, melting her internal organs clean.

It took her a long time before she came back to her senses and muttered, "In that case...... Master, why did you ask me to save him at that time? Give him an antidote? ”

For the first time, there was such a distorted look on Master's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Because it's too cheap for him to die like this...... After so many years, it is time for a Xie family to stand in front of him and ask him for an explanation in person! ”
