Chapter 78: The Truth Revealed

Chinese The two portraits in front of Su Liuying are the same person she is all familiar with.

Looking at the portrait of A-Niang and the Buddha beads in front of her, thunder exploded in Su Liuying's brain, making her mind messy...... Even if she heard Lou Yue say this with her own ears, even if she saw these portraits with her own eyes, subconsciously, she still didn't want to believe that A-Niang would be the favorite concubine of Emperor Huicheng more than ten years ago.

But in the chaotic and messy mind, it suddenly occurred to me that four years ago, A-Niang insisted on not wanting to leave Bianzhou and go to Beijing with Daddy.

When bidding farewell to herself, she was also told not to enter the palace. Later, when she entered Beijing for her marriage with Li Xiu, she also stayed at home and never went out for half a step, no matter how she persuaded her, she refused to go out or see guests...... It wasn't until this moment that she suddenly thought of why A-Niang, who had never left Bianzhou and entered the palace, was so familiar with everything in the palace and so fearful, and repeatedly told herself not to enter the palace...... What's more, Mama Lan called A-Niang 'Niang' to her face...... Now, all the evidence is conclusive, and she has to face it if she doesn't want to admit it.

Suddenly, she remembered the four words in Daddy's case file in the Longtu Pavilion - royal secrets! Ah Niang finally told her that she should stop looking into Daddy's case, everything was her fault...... Countless bright lights were spliced together in her mind, and there were answers to the questions that were about to come out of her heart.

Su Liuying's whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, her heart was frozen, and it was difficult to breathe. If Ah Niang was Emperor Huicheng's favorite concubine Qiong Niangniang nineteen years ago, all the mysteries about Ah Dad would be solved.

Daddy's unjustified disaster was because Auntie's true identity was discovered. Daddy's suicide is precisely because Daddy also knows Auntie's true identity.

As a courtier, but married to the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, Daddy has no second way to go except to apologize for his crimes with death and save his family.

And what kind of treason with the enemy is just a cover for the crime of Daddy...... Cold sweat couldn't stop dripping out, Su Liuying's hands and even her whole body seemed to be immersed in ice water, cold for a while, her mind was sometimes blank, and sometimes countless people and things suddenly poured in, making her dizzy.

Too many surprises, too many shocks and unacceptable...... She couldn't imagine that A-Niang was Concubine Qiong nineteen years ago, and she couldn't imagine that the truth she had worked so hard to find for four years would be such an ending.

Cold sweat soaked his whole body, and his cold fingers clutched the Buddha beads left by A-Niang. In a daze, she said in a trembling voice

"Ah Niang, I want to see my Ah Niang......" With that, she struggled to get up from the bed and walked out with her bare feet.

Lou Yue caught up with her, picked her up from the ground, and gritted his teeth

"Okay, I'll take you to her!" Walking out of the room, Lou Yue carried her through the carved corridor and went straight to the front yard.

It wasn't until this moment that Su Liuying found out that she was not in Louyue's other garden, but in a strange courtyard.

This is a delicate and meticulous courtyard, and everything in it is very familiar to Su Liuying, much like her home in Bianzhou back then.

Walking all the way, looking at the white mourning silk hanging on the eaves of the beams and pillars, Su Liuying's mind was blank, stunned, but the tears in the corners of her eyes never dried.

A mourning hall was set up in the front yard, and when Su Liuying went, she saw Mama Lan kneeling in front of the hall wearing linen and filial piety.

Seeing her come in, Mama Lan's tears instantly welled up.

"Mama...... Where's my aunt? Seeing her thin and pale face, but extremely similar to Concubine Qiong, Mama Lan felt even more sad in her heart, trembling and pointing to the golden silk nanmu coffin behind the mourning hall, but she couldn't say a word.

Mama Lan and Concubine Qiong's long-term friendship between master and servant is heartbroken. Then her sadness and grief could not be compared to Su Liuying.

Su Liuying didn't expect that A-Niang, who had been dead for four years, would see her again, and she didn't expect that after seeing each other for a while, A-Niang died tragically to save her...... Seeing Ah Niang lying quietly in the coffin, until this moment, Su Liuying thought that she was in a dream.

Four years ago, she experienced the grief of losing her mother, and four years later, she experienced such heart-wrenching pain again, and felt that her whole soul was drifting away...... Concubine Qiong's blood-stained clothes were changed, and what she was wearing was actually the court dress of the first-class imperial concubine.

The golden court clothes pierced Su Liuying's heart, and the appearance of Ah Niang lying in the cold coffin with her eyes closed made her even more painful.

Since she woke up, her tears have not stopped, but she will stand in front of Concubine Qiong's coffin, but she can't shed a single tear, as if her tears have run out...... Concubine Qiong not only changed into the imperial concubine's court clothes, but also wore a delicate phoenix bun on her head, and put on dignified makeup on her face, as if she was just sleeping quietly.

But Su Liuying knew that under Guihuang's compelling court clothes, it was A-Niang's body full of holes, and the arrows and feathers in the sky pierced A-Niang's thin body...... The heart-rending pain turned into outright hatred, Su Liuying had never hated it like now, even when she saw Daddy die tragically in prison, she didn't hate like this!

At that time, she just wanted to find out the truth and clear her father's grievances. But this moment. She just wants to return the pain suffered by A-Niang a hundredfold and a thousand times to those murderers!

She wants to cut the murderer who killed A-Niang with a thousand knives, and the knife is too late! The teeth were bitten and bleeding, and the nails were cut into the coffin, and the hatred was so bad that they were broken.

Gritting her teeth to suppress the trembling of her body, Su Liuying asked Mama Lan in a trembling voice

"Mama, how many arrows did my aunt have in total?" Looking at the ruthlessness in her eyes, Mama Lan's heart was shocked, and she cried and said in pain

"Mama plucked the mother from the mother...... Seventeen arrows! With a shake of her body, Su Liuying's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground!

Seventeen arrows!! A-Niang's body is so thin, how can she stand it?! Who is it? Who the hell is it?

! Who the hell killed A-Niang!! There were red blood and tears in her eyes, and Su Liuying's pale face was like a ghost at the moment - before Daddy committed suicide in prison, Auntie was also 'martyred'.

Although she was in pain, she never really hated anyone! But now that she saw A-Niang die tragically in front of her, the hatred in Su Liuying's heart was like a monstrous wave, out of control!

She looked fixedly at the quiet face of A-Niang in the coffin, and gritted her teeth

"I, Su Liuying, swear by immortality, I must find out the real culprit who killed A-Niang, and use the blade with my own hands!" As soon as the words fell, Lou Yue's clear voice sounded in her ears, firm and unquestionable-

"I'm with you!" Hearing this, Su Liuying quietly looked at the man in front of her who described as cold and serious, but gave her countless warm touches, and her heart swelled with endless attachment and sourness.

And she didn't refuse him again, and nodded slowly...... According to A-Niang's last words, Su Liuying put her father's urn into A-Niang's coffin.

The coffin was about to be sealed, Su Liuying reluctantly looked at the person in the coffin for the last time, and said silently in his heart

"A-Niang, you can go with confidence, my daughter will definitely live well, and I must find out the real murderer who murdered you and avenge your blood hatred......" The hand trembled and touched A-Niang's hair, a green silk was as cold as a bone, Su Liuying's heart was numb to pain, but she finally gritted her teeth to suppress the tremor on her hand, cut off a handful of A-Niang's hair and put it in her purse...... Mama Lan cried into tears on the side, kneeling beside the coffin and regretting herself

"Niangniang, it's the old slave who didn't protect you...... The old slave promised you, you must guard the girl well, and the mother will rest assured......" As soon as the hour came, the coffin slowly closed, but at the last moment, a human voice accompanied by hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the mourning hall-

"Wait!" Su Liuying looked at it when she heard the voice, and her face froze - it was Emperor Huicheng who appeared in the mourning hall.

There was only one Yu Ren behind him. The moment she saw Emperor Huicheng, Su Liuying was not surprised. From the moment she saw the imperial concubine's court dress on A-Niang's body, she knew that he would come.

Emperor Huicheng's steps were hurried, his face could not hide his tiredness, and there was an imperceptible pain in his eyes. Lou Yue and the others knelt down to salute him, only Su Liuying stood stunned, looking at him with cool eyes.

Emperor Huicheng's eyes also fell on her, looking at her face similar to Concubine Qiong, her heart became more and more colic, her face turned pale, and then walked quickly towards the coffin behind the mourning hall.

Yu Ren followed behind and sent out all the people who were guarding inside. For a long time, I didn't see Emperor Huicheng coming out of it, and I could only hear Yu Ren persuade him softly

"Your Majesty, mourn!" After another cup of tea, I heard the sound of closing the coffin. Emperor Huicheng personally closed the coffin for Concubine Qiong and walked out.

At that time, Su Liuying was the only one outside, she knelt quietly and burned paper money in the brazier, and Lou Yue and Mama Lan avoided outside.

Emperor Huicheng restrained the grief in his heart and said coldly

"I heard that you are going to bury your aunt in the fake grave before?" Su Liuying put down the paper money in her hand and stood up and said slowly

"Four years ago, I thought A-Niang was dead and built a grave for her. And my aunt died in front of that grave...... Only by being buried there can I not forget my hatred! Emperor Huicheng said coldly

"But you know, I built a tomb for my concubine in the imperial tomb nineteen years ago. She was born a royal person, and when she died, she also had to enter the royal mausoleum. Don't be stubborn! Hearing this, Su Liuying smiled coldly.

Fight with the king of the world, how can she fight!? Moreover, since Daddy's ashes are buried in the same cave as Daddy and buried in the imperial mausoleum, Auntie is still with Daddy!

Her eyes were cold, and she said coldly

"Okay, I don't argue, A-Niang will be buried in the imperial mausoleum as His Majesty wishes. But Your Majesty also has to promise me three conditions! Without thinking about it, Emperor Huicheng nodded in agreement,

"You say!"

"I want to stay in the capital; I want to enter the palace, I want to find out the real murderer for A-Niang! "There is almost no doubt that the murderer who killed A-Niang is the one who caused Concubine Ning's miscarriage.

Because these killers originally came at her, A-Niang died to save her. Therefore, she not only wants to stay in the capital, but also enters the palace.

Maybe it was because of the death of Concubine Qiong, Su Liuying's loss of her mother, or maybe the death of Concubine Qiong gave them a common hatred, and Emperor Huicheng felt more or less pity for her in his heart.

So after hearing her request, he was slightly stunned, and did not refute, and said

"It's okay to keep you in the capital, but ...... Do you want to enter the palace and return to the bureau as a palace maid? "Anyway, Rongqing has already married Li Xiu, and Lishu also came to find him in person, saying that he would no longer force him to marry Lou Yue, so Su Liuying's re-entry into the palace will not have any impact on the two princesses.

It's just that the bureau has always worked hard, and she will be willing to continue to stay there and endure hardships? Without waiting for Su Liuying to answer, Emperor Huicheng's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said

"I won't let go of the person who killed Qiong'er, so ......"

"Your Majesty's check Your Majesty's. I'll check mine. Su Liuying interrupted Emperor Huicheng's words without hesitation and said

"I entered the palace but didn't want to go back to the bureau to set up a bureau, can Your Majesty arrange for me to enter the Changxin Palace on an errand?" Suddenly hearing her mention Changxin Palace, Emperor Huicheng was very surprised, and couldn't help but hesitate

"Concubine Ning's scenery is not as good as before, and now she is still grounded, and the other palace people are trying their best to get out of there, but you want to go in?" Of course these Su Liuying know.

However, she knew that when she re-entered the palace this time, she was facing a vicious battle, and Concubine Ning was her best ally, because they had a common enemy!

She said slowly, word by word

"Your Majesty, at this time, do you still believe that Concubine Chen died at the hands of Concubine Ning? Or, at this time, do you still think that it was really Concubine Chen who killed Concubine Ning's child!? "Emperor Huicheng is a smart man, and after the assassination of Concubine Qiong, he finally noticed that the situation was unusual.

Su Liuying hit the railway while it was hot

"I can conclude that the person behind the killing of my aunt is the same person who killed Ning Concubine under Anguo Temple!"

"This person not only killed the child in Concubine Ning's womb to blame Concubine Chen, but also killed my mother!"

"And before Concubine Ning entered the cold palace, I personally told her that Concubine Chen was not the real murderer of her child, but just a poor scapegoat. Therefore, Concubine Ning entered the cold palace to see Concubine Chen, just to ask her who the real murderer was, how could she kill someone who knew the truth!? ”

"And I, because I participated in the investigation of the real murderer, was sent by the real murderer to kill him, but in the end, I ...... hurt A-Niang......" The more she said to the end, the lower Su Liuying's voice became, but the resentment and heartache in her heart were churning, and her eyes were cold.

Hearing this, Emperor Huicheng's face changed abruptly - until now, although he didn't know how Su Liuying was sure that Concubine Chen was not the real murderer, but when he saw that Concubine Qiong died under the random arrows in order to save Su Liuying, he had to believe everything she said.

Su Liuying didn't let go of a trace of the expression on Emperor Huicheng's face, and when she saw that his face was loose, she hurriedly said

"Therefore, my last condition is to beg Your Majesty to relieve Concubine Ning's grounding and return her innocence!" After Concubine Ning experienced the loss of her son and was framed, the hatred in her heart must be no less than her.

And only Concubine Ning regained her grace and power, and she had an alliance with her. It can force the murderer to sit still and show his feet...... Today, Su Liuying, who came to her mother's tragic death, has changed another heart overnight.

For revenge, she can use anyone, and no one has any scruples...... In Yongkun Palace, Queen Lou was slightly stunned when she heard the report-someone came forward to save the slut, and someone else was willing to block the arrow for her?

! The phoenix's eyes flickered slightly, and Queen Lou said coldly

"Do you know who saved her? And who is the one who shields her arrows? Yingluo said carefully

According to the Assassin's report, the person who rescued her was Xiao Mo, the crown prince of Hu Diguo, but he seemed to be passing by...... And the person who blocked the arrow for the slut was masked, and he saw that the figure was a woman......" Queen Lou hated in her heart and gritted her teeth

"That slut is really lucky, he can't die like this!" However, in an instant, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes deepened, and she wrinkled her eyebrows

"You said before that day was Su Jin's death day. And that slut deliberately stayed, just to go to the grave to worship her parents? Yingluo said

"Exactly!"

"If Xiao Mo happened to be passing by, but in such barren mountains and mountains, apart from Su Liuying, who else would go to Su Jin's grave early in the morning?" Queen Lou couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and Yingluo also reacted instantly, her eyes flashed brightly, and she said

"Not only that, but the woman was also masked, and at first glance, she was afraid that someone would find out her true face......"

"On Su Jin's death day, the masked woman who appeared at the grave early in the morning was willing to block Su Liuying's arrows...... The woman is dead, is it true? "Putting everything together, Queen Lou already understands that the masked person who blocked Su Liuying's arrows is Concubine Qiong.

Suddenly, his hands were nervously folded excitedly, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Rain of arrows, you will definitely die!" Yingluo suppressed the excitement in her heart and smiled proudly. Thinking that Concubine Qiong was really dead, Queen Lou was so excited and happy that her body trembled, but thinking that Concubine Qiong had saved her life in the previous two murders, she was cowardly, pressed her excited chest hard, and asked coldly

"Is there anything unusual about the emperor these two days? Where did you stay these two nights? "If it's really Concubine Qiong's slut who died, the emperor will definitely react.

Yingluo Road

"The emperor has been ordinary these days, because of the war between the border pass and Beixian, most of the time he stays in the imperial study. These nights...... are all resting in the Zhilan Palace of the Wu nobles. "Normally in the court, he still came to the harem as usual, did he not react to the death of Concubine Qiong at all?

Or, the slut isn't dead?! As soon as she thought of this, Queen Lou became excited, and Yingluo hurriedly persuaded her

"Don't panic, this time it's going to be dead. Hearing the assassin's report, her back was pierced like a hedgehog by arrows, and even the Daluo Immortal couldn't save her...... Or, the emperor doesn't know the news of her death......" Listening to Yingluo's words, Queen Lou thought about it and made sense, and suddenly her heart was completely relaxed, and the evil spirit that had been suppressed in her heart for so long finally dispersed-

"Originally, I wanted her daughter's life, but I didn't expect to inadvertently ask for her life. Oh, it's better this way, that little slut can't escape the palm of this palace after all. After Concubine Qiong was quietly buried in the imperial mausoleum, Mama Lan finally decided to tell her the answer that Su Liuying had been seeking from her before.

"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Mama. As long as I know, I'll tell you! Although she already knew that Ah Niang was Concubine Qiong, and guessed that Ah Daddy's death was related to Ah Niang, Su Liuying had a lot of things she didn't understand in her heart.

For example, why did A-Niang, who 'died violently' nineteen years ago, survive, and came to Bianzhou, thousands of miles away, to marry Daddy?

For example, is Daddy's suicide really because Auntie's identity was exposed, or is there another reason for it?

Also, A-Niang obviously died four years ago, she watched A-Niang go to the funeral with her own eyes, why did she come back to life?

Why did A-Niang's Buddha beads appear in Qinghui's hands, and what does the case of Ning Concubine's miscarriage have to do with A-Niang......

"Nineteen years ago, Mama didn't know very well, only knew that the news of Niangniang's violent illness and death suddenly came, the hospital said that Niangniang was infected with a vicious disease, and at that time, in order to avoid infecting others, she was buried in the imperial mausoleum overnight, and even the palace people who were with Niangniang at that time were dismissed from the palace for isolation......"

At that time, the saint was preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and when he returned to the East Palace, the mother had been sealed and buried. The saint almost went with the mother...... For this matter, the saint also asked the Sin Tai Hospital, and the imperial doctors who handled it at that time were all beheaded and buried...... "Recalling the events of the year, Mama Lan can still feel the bloody wind and rain at that time, and now think about it, everything that happened to Concubine Qiong is only afraid that it was carefully murdered by someone with a heart."

"Four years ago, the saint suddenly received a secret report, saying that the mother was not dead, but she reappeared in the capital, married Su Taishou, and had a daughter...... The saint was very angry, and wanted to directly summon Niangniang and Su Tai to the temple to ask for guilt. But after all, he couldn't give up his mother, so he had to pass Su Taishou through prison on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason. And Su Taishou chose to commit suicide to apologize after learning all the truth. ”

"After Su Taishou committed suicide, Niangniang submitted a letter to play, willing to apologize for her sins with death, and only begged the saint to let you go......"

"In fact, over the years, the saint has never really let go of his mother, and every time the peach blossoms bloom in Yunmengtai, it is the most depressed time for the saint. So when I saw Niangniang's submission at that time, I didn't sleep all night, and I was reluctant to take Niangniang's life. So he ordered the old slave to bring the secret medicine of fake death to the mother, which deceived the eyes of the world. And Mama has been leaving the palace all these years, and she has also accompanied her mother outside the palace...... "After four years of pursuing the truth, at this moment, the truth will finally be revealed."

Although this result was clear to her heart the moment she learned that A-Niang was the holy concubine, she still found it difficult to accept it now that she heard Mama Lan say it with her own ears...... Su Liuying sat in a daze, but in her mind, she suddenly remembered that in the New Year, she went to Huaqing Pool to give cotton shoes to Mama Lan, and saw the woman in black that Emperor Huicheng saw in Mama Lan's attic.

It turned out that it was her aunt! With a pain in her heart, she said with red eyes

"Mama, actually...... I saw A-Niang in the palace before...... I went to Huaqingchi to send you cotton shoes, and I saw Shengshang and A-Niang...... It's just that I never thought that it would be my A-Niang at that time, if I had known ......" Tears rolled down, Su Liuying thought that she had only been so close to A-Niang, but she couldn't see each other, and her heart was even more sad.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said in a daze

"Mama, did my aunt know that I was still alive before?" In the fire four years ago, everyone also thought she died in the fire, so would A-Niang also think she was dead, so she didn't come to her?

Mama Lan sighed heavily and said

"Niangniang did think that you were burned to death by the fire, and she was sad for a long, long time. Later, when I met you in the palace, I had doubts the moment I saw your face, and then I quietly inquired, only to know that you actually survived the fire and entered the palace......"

"After Niang Niang knew the news that you were still alive, she was overjoyed, but at the same time she also guessed the purpose of your entry into the palace, and she was even more afraid that you would encounter hardships in the palace, so she asked me to enter the palace from time to time to take care of you. The brown sugar water that Mama boiled for you is that I often hear my mother talk about you and think about making it for you......" Su Liuying's tears fell down and choked up

"Since A-Niang knows that I'm back, why don't you come to see me, why don't you tell me she's still alive......" Looking at the courtyard where Concubine Qiong has lived for four years, this small courtyard is also an invisible cage for Concubine Qiong, Mama Lan's heart is also full of sadness,

"If you want to fake your death and hide it from the world, how can your mother appear in front of people? Moreover, in order to protect you, Niangniang promised the Holy Lord not to let you know the news that she is still alive, let alone recognize you again......"

"Over the years, my mother has had a very hard time, she is ashamed of the emperor, ashamed of your father, and even more guilty of you...... She was really sad in her heart...... "Thinking that A-Niang was begging for her forgiveness until she died, saying that she had deceived herself to live for four years, Su Liuying was heartbroken.

How she didn't understand the bitterness and helplessness in A-Niang's heart, and she knew that everything A-Niang did was all for her!

Wiping away the tears from her face, Su Liuying said

"Mama, what's going on with the Buddha beads? How could A-Niang's Buddha beads appear in Qinghui's hands? "Cat flutter Chinese
