The academy has been extremely quiet these days, especially after Jinyuncheng and Yanzhen both left, the students have no object, and the maids have no conversation to talk about in their leisure time, even if the West Building has become a shocking event like Wei Zhen, they are all silent, after all, it is a high-ranking royal family, who dares to make a mistake.

The two new gentlemen from Leshengtang and Zuiyuntang are both well-known scholars in the city, and they have their own set of discipline students, and in just half a month, these naughty children have been treated well. It's just that there is a lot less popularity in the school, which is very different from the past.

In the courtyard of Yan Shan, Ah Yan sorted out her bags, sometimes sighing, sometimes muttering, a few pieces of clothes rubbed for a long time, Su Yan sat opposite her and watched her for a long time. The eldest grandson, who had been watching these two people from beginning to end, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and scared them out with a voice.

The eldest grandson Yue said: "Sir, you can find a good person, you should be happy to leave this place of right and wrong with him, why bother with a sad face, and you Ah Yan, sigh and sigh what are you doing?" There is your lover here, as for you so reluctantly! ”

Ah Yan's face was red, and he hurriedly defended: "What kind of lover! I feel sorry for my husband! ”

"Regret what? If the water is not a good place, you see that what happened during this period of time is not enough, Mr. Jin has been pulled into the water, and it is unknown whether he can leave the palace in this life, and the West Building...... No, now we should be honored with the title of His Royal Highness the Prince, I used to be able to talk and laugh, but now he is different from us, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to deign to talk to us, we don't dare to be like before, it is better to leave and not see, especially Mr. ......" Changsun Yue said silently, and sighed.

Su Yan said: "It's all over, it's me sorry for him, now that everything has settled, he has also found his place, and I should also go to find my place." ”

"Do you really want to go to the Chu State?" Ah Yu was reluctant.

"I have to go back, that's where I grew up, maybe when I go back, Master will already be there." The corners of Su Yan's mouth slowly hooked up a light smile.

Ah Yu sighed slightly: "I have never left Ruoshui......"

Su Yan patted her cheek and said, "It's hard for you, but don't worry, I'm full of stunts, I can't starve you, not to mention Zuo Qing, how smart he is, he can make money!" ”

The eldest grandson Yue suddenly said: "I really didn't expect that the lord in charge would agree to accompany Mr. you back to Chu State, sir, you are really a blessing!" ”

Su Yan raised his arm to support his chin, smiled stupidly, and said, "Zuo Qing is very good, but I'm not bad either!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" When Changsun Yue saw Su Yan's appearance for the first time, he felt funny but didn't dare to laugh, and said with a sigh of relief: "Only a peerless good woman like Mr. can find a peerless good man like the master in charge, a perfect match!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a piece of clothing flew over from Su Yan, and the eldest grandson stuck out his tongue. The two spoke a few more words before they broke up.

As the sun sank in the west, lanterns lit up in the academy. A figure flashed into the Zen Meditation Temple, Yansheng couldn't stop it, and was pushed far away by the man.

Yan Sheng also wanted to go up to stop him, but was stopped by Zuo Qing. Yan Sheng looked back at the adult in front of the bookcase uneasily, and after a while, he still left the room.

Zuo Qing looked at the person at the door, waiting for him to speak first. Ge Yiyan patted the place where Yansheng hit his chest and sat opposite Zuo Qing.

"Don't you wonder why I'm looking for you?"

Zuo Qing said indifferently: "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it, why should I ask first." ”

Ge Yiyan sneered: "Uncle is dead, don't you blame yourself a little?" He is so good to you, he has given you everything, and everything you have now is not given by him, you are really ungrateful! ”

"Self-blame?" Zuo Qing asked suspiciously: "I should be happy that the revenge of the extermination of the clan has been avenged." ”

"Cut! What kind of hatred of the extermination, do you really think it was caused by your uncle? Zuo Qing, you are really stupid, you don't want to think about it, your family just has a weapon book, even if your uncle wants to get it, why take the risk to frame your family for it? What's more, before your family was beheaded by the full house, the weapon spectrum had already fallen into the palace, and if your uncle really wanted the weapon spectrum, he should go to the palace, haven't you thought about it? ”

"You say the same thing as your uncle, what do you know?"

Ge Yiyan raised the corners of his mouth proudly and said to him slowly: "I know what my uncle didn't tell you, the rest of the words." ”

Zuo Qing stood up suddenly, Ge Yiyan had never seen him so helpless, and his heart was ecstatic.

"What's the rest?"

Ge Yiyan slowly stood up, looked at him at eye level, and said word by word: "Xuanqing is the initiator!" ”

Zuo Qing was obviously shocked, a feeling of powerlessness penetrated his whole body, he hurriedly held on to the bookcase, and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was jerky and tingling.

Ge Yiyan repeated: "Xuanqing is the initiator of the harm to your whole clan, she is the one who framed your father, it is she who caused your whole clan to be beheaded, it has nothing to do with my uncle, he is just a prisoner, at most he just added fuel to the fire." Zuo Qing, you have been looking for the wrong person and taking revenge! ”

"Maybe you should think about it, who told you to come to Ruoshui, and who told you that the enemy of the clan was your uncle, think about it!"

Ge Yiyan's words were still ringing in his ears, but Zuo Qing couldn't hear any sound anymore.

He remembered that the night the whole clan was beheaded, it was his aunt who dragged her out of the secret passage, it was his aunt who wiped the blood on his body for him, it was his aunt who took him all the way through the woods, and ran all night without his life, and it was his aunt who taught him for several years and told him that one day he would avenge the whole clan!

After several years of companionship, love is like mother and son, in the end, Song Yiyan said...... She's the enemy!

Zuo Qing sat back and looked at him in disbelief, the green tendons on his forehead flared up, and he paused for a long time before he organized his words: "Do you have any evidence for what you said?" ”

"Credentials? You might as well ask for yourself, seeing is believing, and hearing is false. After finishing his words, Ge Yiyan walked away.

A dull pain hit his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted onto the scroll. Zuo Qing covered his chest, got up with difficulty, staggered to the door, and shouted Yansheng with all his might. Yansheng was startled by his appearance, and hurriedly reached out to help, Zuo Qing finally threw himself on his shoulder weakly and fainted.

When I woke up the next day, when I opened my eyes, only Su Yan was left in my eyes, with tears on my face, and I was looking at myself anxiously.

Zuo Qing smiled slightly, reached out to support her chin and said, "You're here, I'm sorry for worrying you again." ”

Su Yan held his wrist, and tears fell again, "Tell me about you, you will faint at every turn, how can I rest assured that you will accompany me to Chu State!" ”

"I'm afraid, I won't be able to go......"

"What?"

Zuo Qing put down his hand, stared at the top with two eyes, and tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, "In the past ten years, I have been deceiving myself in the end, and what is even more ridiculous is that the closest person around me is actually the one who deceives me the most!" ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ah Yan, you go first, I still have one more matter, if I can't solve it, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel at ease in this life."

Su Yan suddenly became anxious: "What's wrong with you?" Yansheng said that you fainted after seeing Ge Yiyan, what did he say to you? ”

Zuo Qing just shook his head. He didn't want Su Yan to get involved, let alone let him experience his pain, he could only face it himself!

Zuo Qing slowly closed her eyes and said to her, "You go, I will go to you." ”

How could Su Yan agree, he shook his hand again and said, "If you don't leave, what will I go?" What happened to you, don't you say I'll ask myself! ”

As he spoke, he got up and was about to go, but before he let go of his hand, he was re-grasped by Zuo Qing.

"are my aunt, my only surviving relatives in the world, she saved me from the killing, but now, Ge Yiyan told me that she is the enemy who exterminated the clan!" Speaking of this, Zuo Qing coughed, and the corners of his mouth were bitten.

Su Yan wiped it for him in a panic and patted his chest gently.

After a pause, Zuo Qing continued: "Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous! I have been thinking about this for ten years, and I have worked hard, but in the end, I have taken revenge on the wrong person and killed the wrong person! But I don't understand, why did she want to kill her own brother, why did she save me? ”

Su Yan wanted to comfort, but he couldn't say a word, and tears flowed down.

Zuo Qing laughed bitterly, holding Su Yan's hand trembling non-stop, and finally suddenly let go.

"I'm going to ask for clarification, no matter what the result is, I want the truth!"

The rays of the cold sun pierced through the curtains of the Emperor's bedchamber and fell on the ground and the halfway chessboard.

Obviously there is no heat, but people can't open their eyes.

"I have done what you said, but you must also promise me that since you let the eunuch bear the guilt, then you will not be able to reveal this secret until you die!" Emperor Rong threw the holy decree on the chessboard and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Wei Zhen picked up the holy decree and read it carefully, and said with satisfaction: "Father can retreat to the Emperor with peace of mind, since the son has already got what he wants, he will not embarrass his father." He smiled smugly and put away the edict.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, the last light crossed the temple door and disappeared to the west, the candlelight in the hall occupied the entire line of sight, and the entire dormitory seemed to be covered with a layer of oppressive atmosphere.

The inner sanctum is lit by candles and incense wraps around the curtains, as if you are in a secret place, isolated from the outside world. On the corner of the rosewood girdle and bent legs, an oil lamp with a faint flame had just burned off one head, and the candle flame seemed to be extinguished at any time. After a figure walked out of the curtain, he flicked his finger twice on the wick, and the candlelight suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty has lived happily for decades, and I don't know if you still remember me."

Emperor Rong looked at this woman who came in with Wei Zhen and had been staying quietly behind the curtain, thinking that she was a palace person, but when she looked at it again, she felt familiar, and couldn't help frowning and asking her, "Who are you?" ”

Xuan Qing's indifferent gaze looked down at the candle flames, and the chill spreading from the corners of her eyes could almost freeze the blazing firelight, and she said slowly: "Because of you, I killed the entire Xuan family, the blood flowed into a river, and the bones piled up into a mountain, Your Majesty dares to say that these life debts are not caused by you?" If you hadn't failed me, I wouldn't have been driven out by my family, let alone lost our children! It's all your fault! ”

"The Xuan family?" Emperor Rong asked suspiciously, "Is it the Xuan family of Zhao Guo?" ”

Xuan Qing turned his head and glared at him: "You really don't remember?" ”

Emperor Rong looked at her disdainfully: "You just tell me who you are, I'm going back to rest!" ”

Xuanqing slowly approached, and said: "In the tenth year of Dacheng, I met His Majesty, and in the sixteenth year of Dacheng, Mo Fei and I joined forces to poison the first emperor for you, so that you could ascend the throne in advance." In the early years of Wei Sheng, I gave birth to our first and only child for Your Majesty, but fifteen years later, because of Ge Yu and because I know too many secrets about you, you want to get rid of me! If I hadn't exchanged Geyu's secret and asked Murphy to save my mother and son from Ruoshui, I'm afraid we would have died in the palace a long time ago! But I didn't expect that when I returned to Zhao State, the elders of the clan scolded me for stealing the weapon spectrum and handing it over to you, and did not allow me and the child to enter the house half a step, my child, he was only fifteen years old, he had not yet married a wife, he had not even enjoyed the world, and he died of disease! It's all you, it's you! ”

Emperor Rong suddenly sat there paralyzed, as if he had seen a ghost, and his whole body was trembling with fright.

Xuanqing slowly sat next to Emperor Rong and continued: "Since ancient times, the Heavenly Family has been ruthless, heh, my brother reminded me, I don't believe it, I still entrust my whole heart to you, kill people for you, and clean up the aftermath for you, I am the only daughter of the Xuan family of Zhao Guo, and my brother is the marshal of Zhao Guo!" But because of you, you are lowly to the dust! I have done so many things for you, but you don't even want to give me a prince to give me a son, and when you die, you don't want to give him a title! ”

"I ...... I didn't know he was dead......" Emperor Rong whispered.

"He's fifteen! Wei Yao became king at the age of eleven, why can't my son! You didn't love him at all, and you were just taking advantage of us from start to finish! Xuanqing suddenly pressed over and said hysterically: "Wei Xu, I came today to pay for your life, my son's life!" ”

Emperor Rong was so frightened that he crawled away, the chessboard was knocked to the ground, and the chess pieces splashed everywhere.

Xuanqing cried and laughed, sat cross-legged in Emperor Rong's position, pointed at Emperor Rong and said, "Look at your appearance today, retribution, retribution!" ”

Wei Zhen went over and dragged his father who was hiding in the corner and was trembling, and said to Xuan Qing: "That's it, you don't want to kill him, now that he has no throne and no trustworthy people around him, he has nothing, you should be satisfied." ”

Xuan Qing snorted coldly: "I'm not satisfied, I want him to live in the shadows for the rest of his life, so that he is better off than dead, but he can live a hundred years old!" ”

"What do you want?"

Xuanqing threw him a dagger: "You carve a word on his face." ”

"What's that?"

"Xuan," Xuanqing tilted his head, stared at Emperor Rong's face, and stretched out his index finger: "On his left cheek, engrave the word Xuan, I want him to be unable to get rid of me in his life, and he can't get rid of the Xuan family!" ”

Wei Zhen picked up the dagger and looked at his father's face, a little hesitant.

"He's not your father, your father is King Yan, your mother doesn't love him at all, King Yan has never cut off contact with your mother, have you forgotten? Your mother was burned to death by him in Fusang Palace because of this, and it was because of him that you wandered for ten years, did you forget? ”

When Wei Zhen heard her words, he gritted his teeth and threw away the dagger: "Isn't it because of you, you exchanged this secret with Murphy for your life, my mother is your sister, but you hurt her!" ”

Xuanqing said disdainfully: "Wei Zhen, we are actually the same people, I can betray my sisters for my life, I can frame my own family for my son, and I can use Zuo Qing for revenge, what about you, you are not cooperating with me for the throne, you obviously know what I have done, and you also know that Mo Fei is not Zuo Qing's enemy, but you still lied to him, don't you think you are equally hateful?" ”

"You ......"

Wei Zhen was powerless to refute, his eyes were red with anger, and the joints of the dagger were all white.

The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a strong light came in, Zuo Qing stood at the door of the hall, looking at Xuanqing with sad eyes. He felt as if his heart was cracking inch by inch, it hurt, it hurt... But why can't you cry?

"You said it, but it's true?"

Xuanqing didn't expect Zuo Qing to appear, and his speech was sluggish for a while, just looking back at him in a daze.

"What about you, Wei Zhen, I am a blood alliance with you, a friend of life and death, you know that I have been going the wrong way, why do you want to watch me go wrong?" Zuo Qing asked him with a crying voice.

Wei Zhen standing under the window, wrapped in the sun, warm as jade, beautiful scenery, but he has a chilling feeling.

Wei Zhen let go of Emperor Rong and helped him to the couch on the side, before saying to Zuo Qing: "Yes, I lied to you, and the Dengli alliance from the beginning was a trap. After Murphy went to jail, I went to see him before you, and I warned him not to reveal a word to you, or I would wipe him out all over the house! Zuo Qing, your enemy is not Mo Fei, it's your aunt! ”

"Impossible, she doesn't have this ability, she doesn't have the ability to change the military newspaper, how can she have such ability?" Zuo Qing held on to the last glimmer of hope and gritted his teeth and said.

"Because her surname is Xuan, when your father went out to the border and took away all the generals surnamed Xuan, although your aunt was expelled from the house by your father, she is still a member of the Xuan tribe, and they will not have fortifications against a family member, so she can blend in, change the military report, and replace the request for help with good news, so that the army led by your father is isolated, and finally returned to the city with less than 10,000 people, but she became a prisoner for some reason."

Wei Zhen looked at Xuan Qing, and his heart was also stunned, for ten years, he had always felt that Xuan Qing was cold-blooded, and now it is even worse.

"Auntie?" Zuo Qing laughed, "So that's it, so that's it!" Everything that Zuo Qing believed in his heart, all his beliefs, were all wiped out at that moment, and there was no hope left!

He used to trust her the most, get closest to her, and love her the most, but now, she has destroyed these beautiful things with her own hands, which caught him off guard and hurt his heart.

Xuanqing calmed down, at this time everything had been spread out, she had no scruples, and even said to Zuo Qing very calmly: "Wei Sheng fifteen years, I almost died, I went home and begged your father to take me in, but he drove me out, I still remember what he said to me, he said: I am shameless, cheap, vicious, I use the honor of the family to seek a lifetime of glory and wealth, now this appearance is retribution, I should die outside, don't pollute the lintel!" Scold! This is my own brother, the sibling of my mother! Zuo Qing, my son, my only relative, it was your father who killed him, and now if he is still alive, he will be much older than you. ”

Zuo Qing kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly, tears finally poured down, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Why? You're my aunt! Am I not your relative? He couldn't believe every word in her mouth, but the truth was so cruel, cruel like a sickle, a knife cut into the heart, suffocating in pain.

"Loved ones? My relatives hurt me and hate me, why should I treat them as relatives! If your father values the weapon book above all else, then I will destroy it, and I will make him suffer a hundred times more than I do, and I will let his son continue to suffer this pain, and I will give you a taste of despair! Remember where my son was buried? It is on the highest mountain in Zhao Kingdom, facing the gate of the Xuanjia family. On the day the Xuan family was destroyed, A-Ying kept watching, watching how these people died in pain, and buried him with him! ”

Zuo Qing got up from his heart, staggered back, sat down on the ground heavily, knocked over the lampstand, and the hot wax oil poured down instantly, and the bright red wax oil flowed down like blood, and melted with the blood stains on his chest.

It turns out that this is the truth, and it turns out that the hatred that has been held on for ten years is just a scam! Why did this happen, he would rather die in that massacre from the beginning!

Emperor Rong looked nervously at the glowing door of the palace, and asked cautiously, "Now that the truth has been revealed, can I leave?" ”

Wei Zhen blocked Emperor Rong who was about to flee with his cross arm, "She hasn't finished speaking, why should my father leave in a hurry." ”

Xuanqing wiped away his tears, raised his head and continued: "Wei Zhen promised me that as long as he sits firmly on the throne, Wei Zhen's life is mine!" Now, my painstaking plan has finally paid off, the guard is in my hands, and you have been destroyed by my own hands! He laughed as he spoke, looking like he was crazy.

Emperor Rong was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he didn't care about himself, he could still be the emperor when the throne was gone, but this time it came to an end. He slowly closed his eyes, a chill in his heart in despair.

Zuo Qing was excited and then had great compassion, his body could barely support it, he was panting heavily, unable to speak.

Wei Zhen couldn't bear it in his heart, but Xuanqing was in full swing, and if he stopped her at this time, he would be unable to do his own way, so he didn't make a noise and let her do whatever she wanted.

Xuanqing walked up to Emperor Rong and bent down to pinch his face: "Your Majesty is in a hurry, I will settle old accounts with Your Majesty next." Xuanqing's face was gloomy, and he was so frightened that he hid back again and again.

"At the beginning, how did the guards, who had not yet sat on the throne, swear an alliance with me? After giving birth to Ying'er with me, how did you talk sweetly? At the beginning, you said that no matter what happens, I can go to you, so now, I want to engrave words on your face, can, can? ”

Emperor Rong pushed her away with all his might, shouting, "No! I, I didn't have any children with you! I am the Son of Heaven! I..."

"What am I? You have sinned, you must pay back, this word, must be engraved! As he spoke, he snatched the dagger from Wei Zhen's hand and was about to slash it at Emperor Rong's face.

Emperor Rong shouted repeatedly: "I don't want it, I don't want it!" Come! Come on, help—"

Wei Zhen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stopped Xuanqing: "I haven't ascended the throne yet, he can't die and can't go crazy, otherwise I won't be able to sit on the throne steadily, and you won't be able to achieve your goal!" ”

Xuanqing looked at Emperor Rong unwillingly, "It's cheaper for him!" ”

"He's going mad, let him spend the rest of his life in remorse and fear, it's better than killing him."

"Aren't you soft-hearted?"

"You are for your son, I am for my mother, do you think I will be soft-hearted?"

"Okay, I'll believe you, but." She looked at Zuo Qing, who was already confused, and said, "He must be handed over to me." ”

Wei Zhen glanced at Zuo Qing, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Let you dispose of it." ”

At your disposal......

Zuo Qing's vision was blurred by tears, and his consciousness gradually disappeared, and finally, through the narrow slit of his eyes, he saw that his aunt was getting closer and closer to him, and the face that had been treated kindly by the years was in front of him. She was once kind and gentle, but now she will become such a ruthless executioner. In just one night, everything has changed, and his brothers and relatives are all lying to him! From beginning to end, it was not themselves who controlled the situation, but them.

So what are you? Chess pieces?

It doesn't matter anymore, it's good to just go to sleep like this.
