"I've seen the prince." As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Ruyu was a little surprised by the dim lights in the room, but she still gave a respectful salute.

"Please be seated." Only then did the King straighten up and sit upright, pointing to the seat next to him.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Ruyu was not polite, walked over and sat down in a few steps, you have to be prepared for a long time tonight, it will be much more comfortable to sit and listen. This clock leisurely helped her put the chair away, and bowed down to go out to serve tea. When the tea was arranged, he withdrew again, closing the door by the way.

"Miss Xiao has been to see the son?" The King asked. This girl is really calm, she came to ask for conditions but didn't ask immediately, she is indeed calm enough.

This kind of calmness can only be found in the world, but I didn't expect such a young girl to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai without being in a hurry, which is indeed rare. No wonder Wen Song likes her, she is very similar to Wen Song in some places.

"Yes." Xiao Ruyu nodded, then lowered her eyes and looked at the corner of the table not far below her feet without saying a word.

"The girl is here to let the king fulfill the agreement, right?" The King stroked his beard and said.

"I thought the prince already knew." Xiao Ruyu raised her eyes and looked at him, and said calmly with a look in her eyes. At this moment, her expression was calm, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the eyes of the British King.

"Of course." The King nodded, but didn't say much, and the two fell silent.

"Will the prince know everything about me?" Xiao Ruyu broke this calm and asked. She didn't want to continue to fight with the British king, haha, and delay time.

"I'll tell you everything I know." There was no joy or anger on the king's face, but he said lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Ruyu solemnly clenched his fists. This is the best, there is no need for her to bother to persuade her, the king of England is a person who understands, knows that the current situation does not allow him to continue to conceal, and if he knows the truth, he may be able to think of a solution sooner.

At present, she really knows too little about the murder Gu, and she has only heard the prince mention that this incident happened decades ago, and the palace is very tightly secreted about it. Many palace maids and eunuchs who knew the truth were secretly disposed of, and there was no way to find out if they wanted to.

She was very curious about how the murderous Gu was eliminated at that time, who eliminated it, and why the palace was so taboo about this matter, there must be a lot of hidden secrets in it. But she's not interested in these hidden things, she's interested in finding a way to get rid of them.

"The first time this murderous Gu appeared in Great Qin, it was forty years ago." The King of England fell into a kind of memory, "At that time, the emperor's grandfather was still there, and his father was only the king, and he was a brother to the king at that time. ”

"I heard Shizi say that it was King Xian who introduced the murderous Gu into Daqin, and later the emperor found out before giving him wine, and Daqin paid a great price to destroy those murderous Gu. I don't know what they were doing. "Hearing the King of England mention the King of Hsien, it seems that this is a key figure.

"This king doesn't know how the murderous Gu was destroyed, but my father must know that it was the people who were killed by the Gu that he took people to destroy." The King said.

"It turned out to be the murderous Gu that the emperor took people to eliminate, this is the emperor's merit, why did he hide this matter later?" Xiao Ruyu didn't understand a little, the superior has always liked to brag about himself, and he will make some achievements if he has no performance, and he didn't mention such a big credit for exterminating the poisonous Gu, and he was still the secret of the royal family sealed into the dust, is it the reincarnation of Mr. Hao today, and he doesn't like to leave a name for doing good deeds?

"The most important reason why my father was reluctant to mention this matter was that King Xian died because of this, at that time their brothers had a good relationship, and my father had been trying to save him, but unfortunately the emperor was too angry and gave him wine, and my father had no way at all. Later, he also tried to rescue the wife and children of King Xian, but unfortunately a fire broke out in the place where they were imprisoned, and they all died. The first emperor also suffered a heavy blow because of this matter and passed the throne to his father, the father was very sad, and kept complaining that he was sorry for his brother, sorry for the emperor, and then he took the throne after the matter was sealed in the dust, maybe he didn't want future generations to know that the wrong things of the king left a reputation for eternity. The king sighed, he was ** years old at the time, he was able to remember, he remembered that his father was crying very sadly, fainted several times, and several of them secretly kowtowed to the tablet of the king.

"You have a point." It seems that he is a good elder brother today, although his younger brother did so much wrong at the beginning, he is still very tolerant and loving to him, otherwise he would not have erased his own merits in order to help him cover up his mistakes.

"This matter shouldn't be difficult for you to say, why didn't you tell the truth when the prince asked you?" After listening to the words of the King of England, Xiao Ruyu asked strangely, this matter is indeed disgraceful to King Xian, but the King of England has no direct blood relationship with him, so there is no need to hide it from the son.

"Alas, my father is very jealous of this matter, and the palace maids and eunuchs who know it are all secretly disposed of, and even the original queen and my mother may be implicated and die because of this matter." The King of England sighed, he stood up and walked from the table to the window, pushed the window and looked at the cold moon outside without speaking for a long time, his expression was sometimes indignant, sometimes sad, as if he was suppressing something, Xiao Ruyu twisted his eyebrows, it seems that there is really a secret in this matter, and this secret is the key to the king's reluctance to mention this matter.

"I know that in the palace now, except for King Ming and King Anling, the biological mothers of the other adult princes have passed away, aren't they sick and dead? Don't......? She didn't say the rest of the words, but she was terrified when she thought about it.

Although she is not interested in the affairs of the royal family, she also knows that among the adult princes, only the biological mothers of King Ming and King Anling are still there, and she still thinks it is strange, it is rare for the palace to fight so powerfully, and the first queen and other concubines are killed?

"There is news in the palace that my mother, the former queen and other concubines all died in assassination, but in fact, it is not at all." Speaking of his mother, he looked very sad and angry, and his hands behind his back were clasped tightly, as if he was trying to break a knot, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and it was good to break it.

"I don't know about the others, but my mother was given to die, and I saw it with my own eyes." The King of England spit out these words with some difficulty, and his brow never relaxed.

"At that time, my father had ascended the throne as the emperor, and I also had my own palace and learned some skills, and that night I couldn't sleep and sneaked into my mother's harem to visit her, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her very much." The King of England was immersed in deep memories, "It was a very dark, hot and stuffy night, and I carefully avoided the palace guards who were patrolling, and quietly entered the concubine's bedroom, I wanted to surprise her. ”

"Do you know what I saw?" The king asked sideways, Xiao Ruyu shook his head, and he couldn't say if he guessed.

The father's henchman, the eunuch Zhou Gong, just let the two little eunuchs grab the arms of the concubine, and he poured a glass of wine into the concubine. At that time, I was just about to rush out, but my mother's henchman Chun Mama covered my mouth and pulled me, I watched my mother lying on the ground and struggling in pain but there was nothing she could do, and then she vomited black blood and died, and the glass of wine was poisonous. Speaking of the tragic death of his mother, there was still irrepressible sadness and anger in the king's tone, and his eyes were also full of sadness and anger.

"But what does this have to do with Murder Gu?" Xiao Ruyu couldn't understand why the emperor gave Concubine Mei to death, and why the king of England didn't want to face it when he mentioned the murderous Gu.

"Mama Chun told me that my mother's death was related to the murderous Gu, and it should have been the secret of the murderous Gu that was extinguished. My mother once mentioned to her that if something happened to her, I must remind me not to contact the murderous Gu and not to investigate the cause of her death. King Ying looked up and sighed, "The mother concubine died, I cried and fainted, and then I woke up and listened to the few palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for me to secretly talk about it, and I learned that there were four people who died that night plus the mother concubine, one was the queen at that time, and two were the mother concubines of the Wing King and the King of Qi." They should have been poisoned, too. ”

"Why is there no rumor about such a big thing? Could it be that the emperor pressed it down? Xiao Ruyu felt strange, it is said that the death of the queen is a big deal, and it is impossible for the outside to not know at all, even if the emperor has done a good job of secrecy, but what about the princes, aren't they curious about where their mother concubine went?

"It was indeed my father who suppressed the matter, and he told us that our mother died in an assassination that night. I don't know why he said this, but there was indeed an assassination in the queen's bedroom that night, when the mother concubine and several dead palace concubines were serving in the queen's bedroom, but this assassination was quickly suppressed, and the mother and concubine they also successfully escaped from the trap and returned to their palace, I don't know why the front foot was poisoned as soon as the back foot came back. I once secretly asked my father about this, and I asked him if he sent someone to poison his mother. He told me that Father-in-law Zhou had been bribed to poison the queen and several concubines under false proclamation, and that the impact was too bad, and he instructed me to keep it a secret. By the time I found Zhou's father-in-law, he had committed suicide in fear of crime, and the suicide note he left behind confirmed that he had been coerced to betray his father, and the person behind him was a mystery, and I haven't found it until now. ”

"It's really weird." Xiao Ruyu said in a low voice. "In order to cover it up, it seems that in order to conceal this matter, the emperor has put a lot of thought into it." The death of a queen and three concubines in one night is really not a good thing for the imperial power, so he changed his words to the outside world and found different excuses for the deaths of several people, and the time of death was also several years apart.

According to the information she received, the queen died of illness, in the winter of the year of the assassination. The king's mother, Concubine Mei, was frightened and had been recuperating until she died three years later. However, Concubine Xue, the mother of the Wing King, saw through the red dust and went to the Taimiao to practice, and the time of death was unknown. King Qi's mother was locked up for madness, and later woke up and felt ashamed to hang herself.
