As night fell, after a day of chaos, the capital finally ushered in a rare moment of calm, there are so many things happening today, I am afraid that for many people it will be another sleepless night.

Meng Yuan returned home with the unexpected holy decree, he broke away from the family members who were crying with joy, locked himself in the study, and stared at this holy decree, he couldn't imagine under what circumstances the emperor would leave him such a thing.

"That's it, they're all dead."

Meng Yuan took a long breath, and then slowly opened the holy decree, and there was actually a letter mixed in it, which was written to himself.

He did not rush to read the decree, but first opened the letter, the content of the letter was the emperor's handwriting, and the beginning part was a nostalgic tone recalling the time when they used to ride the world.

"Why bother" Meng Yuan subconsciously wanted to be sarcastic, but was shocked to find that the other party was dead, and the mockery on his face fell silent again.

He continued to read the letter, this letter was very long, as many as eight or nine pages, a large part, almost two-thirds of the length was reminiscing about the happy time they had had, and Meng Yuan's heart was full of self-harm and shame.

The more he saw the emperor behaving like a friend, the more Meng Yuanna felt ashamed and painful about what he had done, but he kept comforting himself with words, everything was the emperor's layout, they used to be friends, but that was once!

He endured the discomfort and continued to read, when he saw that the emperor's words were only superficial about the method of immortality, he disdained it, and when he saw the emperor say that he loved Yongle and the concubine, he secretly cursed a word of hypocrisy.

And when he saw the emperor's excitement when he said that he knew that Yongle was pregnant, Meng Yuan only felt irritable, and at the same time, the uneasiness in his heart began to pervade, and the emperor's attention to Yongle was obviously beyond the ordinary range.

Meng Yuan's heart was full of doubts, and more uneasiness, and at the end of the letter, seeing the words written by the emperor, Meng Yuan was shocked, threw the letter out violently, and shouted in a gaffe: "This is impossible! ”

He frantically opened the holy decree on the side and saw that it was a written edict that stated that the emperor intended to pass on the throne to the son of Princess Yongle.

Meng Yuan was stunned, the whole letter was that the emperor was worried about his future in the tone of a friend, so in the end, the emperor told his plan to take Yongle into the palace, he thought that if Yongle could give birth to a son, he would let this child inherit the throne in the future.

"It's just inexplicable!"

Meng Yuan angrily threw the holy decree to the ground, he couldn't believe it, this must be the emperor who saw his disobedience, so he specially left this nonsense holy decree to disgust him! Right! It must be so!

"Yongle children, what are you kidding! Who would admit this kind of thing, he is simply crazy, right, he must be crazy! ”

Meng Yuan smashed the desk in the study with a punch, and the lights that went out suddenly plunged the study into boundless darkness.

He gritted his teeth and read the letter again, hoping to find evidence of the emperor's tricks, but the emperor in the letter was too perfect, just like patting him on the shoulder and calling out to his brother.

"Fake. It's fake."

Meng Yuan held the holy decree and held the letter paper in the palm of his hand, and he kept repeating those self-suggestive words in his mouth: "I didn't have a choice, he did it first."

A corner of the desk that Meng Yuan had shattered tore through the window and flew out, and the cold moonlight fell through the broken hole in the dimly lit study, dragging his shadow to the wall for a long time.

He looked up, the shadow on the wall was lying down, his slender fingers were like the devil's minions, and he was holding the holy decree in his hand, as if he had become a sharp blade, and he was as ugly as a demon in the story under the moonlight.

Meng Yuan looked at the shadows on the wall, and an irrepressible low laugh came out of his rolling throat, as if someone was pulling the rusty strings, as if he was crying.

The sleepless night is not over yet, and today, Lu Hanjiang also rarely broke his usual iron-clad routine, and came to Meng Yuan's mansion alone when he was on the branches of the moon.

I don't know why, it's only been half a day, but when Lu Hanjiang saw the other party again, he actually sensed a trace of twilight from the other party's body, but he didn't care about it at this time.

"Old man, you're playing too much this time."

When the two met Lu Hanjiang, he sighed slightly, he really didn't expect that Meng Yuan's last hole card was actually himself, and this move of pushing himself up really caught him off guard.

"The old man never thought so much back then, and it was really a matter of days to be able to get to where he is today."

Meng Yuan sighed abruptly, then looked at Lu Hanjiang quietly, and suddenly asked, "Now you finally know why you are not treated well at home, do you hate me?" ”

Lu Hanjiang didn't answer, but instead asked, "They already know these things?" ”

"Back then, it was the old man who was sorry for his parents, and this lie was woven seamlessly by the old man for more than 20 years, but at first, this was just a dirty trick used by the old man to cover up his shame."

Meng Yuan laughed at himself: "What happened at the beginning was indeed that the old man escorted the newly born child of the crown princess and escaped to the Lu family's big ship, but. Oh, everyone thought that the old man had played the old ghost of Xuantian, and they looked up to the old man too highly. ”

Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "In this way, at that time, you lost the battle, old man?" ”

"Not only did he lose, but he was defeated without the power to fight back," Meng Yuan sighed: "You haven't seen that old ghost, he is indeed the first person in the martial arts of the world, and the old man can't even walk three moves in his hands." ”

Lu Hanjiang said in surprise: "You dare to provoke the Xuantian Sect every day?" ”

Meng Yuan sneered: "It's just a means to take advantage of the situation, the old man calculated that the old ghost couldn't pull away, so he provoked many times, and thanks to the old ghost's lack of response, it was rumored that the old man's martial arts could be compared with him." ”

At that time, the rivers and lakes were powerful, and Shaolin Wudang had peerless masters, but the strength of Jinyiwei was a little embarrassing, and Meng Yuan used this means to attract the jealousy of others, so that he could implement his plan to suppress the rivers and lakes step by step.

"What happened back then, in fact, the old man deliberately revealed it."

Meng Yuan said in a deep voice: "Luo Yuanjing, the reason why Lu Yannian and those people believe the old man's words is because the old man can fight a 'tie' with the old ghost of Xuantian in martial arts, and when he returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, the old man did bring back a child. ”

Lu Hanjiang sighed, he already understood, Meng Yuan said in a calm tone: "There is nothing wrong with this matter, the old man and your uncle have known each other for a long time, since they have seen it, it is not wrong to protect his clan brothers and juniors, but later the old man found out that this matter can be used to make some articles." ”

Meng Yuan didn't have such a grand plan in mind at first, he always took it step by step, at first he used the children of the Lu clan to make up his reputation, and later used the children of the Lu clan to start guiding the ideas of people like Luo Fuzi Lu Shangshu, so as to get their help.

A lie that lasted for twenty years finally became a perfect closed loop after Lu Hanjiang found the true prince's bloodline.

The old ghost of Xuantian is dead, and the person who knew the secret of the year no longer exists, Meng Yuan has successfully turned this lie into reality completely, and there is only one loophole left, and that is himself.

All the roles in this big drama are already in place, and the only loophole in the identity of Lu Hanjiang, the grandson, is Meng Yuan, who planned all the plans.

"Old man, aren't you really afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf by yourself?" Lu Hanjiang sighed: "You are forcing me to kill you." ”

"The old man gambled on human nature all his life, but unfortunately he lost all the bets in the end."

Meng Yuan had a relieved smile on his face: "The old man is unwilling, this last time the old man still has to gamble, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, the old man is worthy of his heart." ”
