At this time, a messenger rushed to the gate of Yujing City.

The guards were about to stop him when the messenger took out his token and shouted hoarsely.

"Eight hundred miles of urgent war report!"

Baixin near the city gate hurriedly got out of the way, and the guards guarding the city also retreated, not daring to stop it anymore.

They looked at the back of the galloping messenger and whispered to each other.

"Where's the battle report?"

"Isn't it going to be a war?"

"I don't know, I hope it's a false alarm, don't fight."

……

The messenger rode through the city.

When he ran to the palace gate, the horse was too tired to stand on his feet and fell directly to the ground.

The messenger fell.

He didn't care about the pain, got up with his hands and feet, held up the token representing his identity, and shouted at the Praetorian Guard in front of the palace gate.

"Battle report! Eight hundred miles of urgent war report! ”

Because he shouted so hard, his voice was out of tune.

The Praetorian Guards checked the token, and after making sure that it was correct, they hurriedly opened the palace door.

At this moment, Xiao Ti walked out of the palace.

He looked at the messenger running past him, and his steps paused slightly.

He had heard the messenger's roar just now, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that there is a war at the border?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ti's pace immediately accelerated.

After leaving the palace, he rode back to the county palace.

She was not in the mansion, and after asking, she found out that she had gone to the Deng Mansion.

So Xiao Ti immediately went out and rode to the Deng Mansion.

By the time he arrived at Deng's mansion, the sun had already set, and the sky was getting dark.

In the study, Yu Yuanxuan put the two pieces of letter back into the mahogany box.

Seeing Deng Yuchuan's sad expression, she knew in her heart that now was not the time to say these words, but she still asked.

"Now that you know the truth, do you still plan to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother?"

Deng Yuchuan was silent.

He traveled thousands of miles to Yujing, in order to confront Deng Yuluo face to face and find out why Li Niang died?

Now the truth is in front of him, and his purpose has been achieved.

But there was no need for him to confront Deng Yuluo again.

But if he wants to stop there, he is unwilling.

Li Niang died so miserably, he wanted to get justice for her.

But the other party is the Queen Mother.

Although the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is just talk, Deng Yuchuan knows that the reality will not be so beautiful, the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and she is a woman who stands at the top of power.

Wanting to convict the Queen Mother is tantamount to taking chestnuts in the fire, and if you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire.

What's more, this matter also involves the emperor's origin.

Once the guilt of the Empress Dowager is proven, then everyone will know that the emperor is not orthodox.

The Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen.

Deng Yuchuan is already a person who has half his body in the ground, he is not afraid of death, but there is still the entire Deng family standing behind him.

If Deng Yuluo's crime of confusing the royal family is confirmed, the Deng family will definitely suffer, and the century-old foundation accumulated by his ancestors is likely to be destroyed in his hands.

At this moment, Deng Yuchuan figured out a lot of things in his heart.

His father should have known the truth a long time ago.

The reason why Deng Yuluo was able to successfully pass the inspection during the draft was because of the Deng family's contribution.

Otherwise, it can't explain how Deng Yuluo, a weak woman, can pass through layers of screening.

's father knows everything, and he even became Deng Yuluo's accomplice.

He tied the future of the Deng family and Deng Yuluo together to stabilize the foundation of the Deng family.

It's not that he doesn't want to care about Li Niang's life or death, but compared with the entire Deng family, Li Niang's fate alone is not so important.

It's cold, but that's the reality.

That's why my father said that he was not only Liniang's father, but also the head of the Deng family, and he wanted to take care of the future of the entire Deng family.

And now, he is in his father's place.

He also has to face the same choice as his father-

Is it desperate to seek justice for Li Niang?

Or should nothing happen to preserve the long-term prosperity of the Deng family?

After a long time, Deng Yuchuan slowly spoke, and his voice was difficult.

"What is the princess going to do?"

Yu Yuanxuan said without hesitation: "I want to fulfill Li Niang's last wish, let the truth be revealed to the world, let the real murderer behind the scenes be punished, and the blood debt must be repaid by blood!" ”

Deng Yuchuan: "Have you ever thought that if you do this, you are likely to put the people around you in danger, such as the king of Langjun, his situation in the court is already difficult, if you insist on making the truth public, the king of Langjun will not only ruin his future, but also may take his life for it." ”

Thinking of Xiao Ti, Yu Yuan's mind was complicated, and his voice became much softer.

"I'll do my best to keep him safe."

Deng Yuchuan said: "You can't do the best of both worlds, for the sake of the living to swallow their anger, or for the dead to seek justice, between the two, you can only choose one." ”

Yu Xuan was silent.

It's just too hard to choose.

The atmosphere in the study became extremely oppressive.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Deng Luyun's voice came in.

"Grandpa, the king of Langjun is here."

The atmosphere in the room eased slightly.

Yu curled back to find his voice.

"It's time for me to go back."

Deng Yuchuan supported the armrests of the seat with both hands, ready to stand up to see off the guests.

Yu Yuan hurriedly said: "No need to send it." ”

But Deng Yuchuan still insisted on sending her out of the study.

Deng Luyun saw his grandfather come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

The grandfather and grandson saluted Xiao Ti.

Xiao Ti bowed slightly to the two, and then left the Deng Mansion with him.

After the two of them left, Deng Yuchuan locked himself in the study, looked at the suicide note left by Li Niang, and couldn't fall asleep all night.

Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti returned to the county king's mansion.

Mama Xiuyan had already asked people to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

But he didn't have much appetite.

Xiao Ti looked at her preoccupied appearance and took the initiative to ask.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yu Yuanxuan hesitated again and again, but still said the content of the suicide note left by Li Niang.

After Xiao Ti listened, he was naturally very surprised.

Although he had long guessed that Feng Lianghan was Liniang's child, he didn't expect Feng Lianghan's biological father to be the first emperor.

No wonder Feng Lianghan was killed.

Regardless of whether Feng Lianghan knew the truth of the year or not, just his background was enough to become a major problem in the heart of Empress Dowager Deng, and it must be cut down to eradicate the future troubles.

Yu Yuanxuan poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and said slowly.

"I want the truth to come out, I want justice for my mother and stepfather, but I'm afraid that doing so will put you in danger."

Xiao Ti: "From the moment I marry you, I am ready to live and die with you, you just have to do what you want to do, don't worry about me." ”

Yu curled and felt a little sour on the tip of his nose.

She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

She whispered.

"Thank you."
