The shouts outside grew louder and louder, and then faded away, and after a while, the sound of more intense fighting would sound again.

Mei Xue knew that Du Xin's people would not give up, unless Old Prince Yan could wake up.

But there was no medicine available in the main courtyard, and after she gave the old prince first aid, she could only feed him the antidote pills she had prepared.

And the best antidote, of course, is specially formulated for the ingredients of the poison.

But now, even if she knows the ingredients of the antidote, she doesn't have the herbs and time to configure it.

When the fight outside began for the fourth time, it was already noon.

Jiu'er went outside with Du Zhe to help after tying up the Zhu family in the morning, and at this moment she returned with her sword and said to Mei Xue breathlessly:

"Girl, there are more and more people outside, and Lord Shen said that he was afraid that they would attack with fire."

Yes, a fire burns all the people in the main courtyard to death, and you can blame them for all the crimes.

Mei Xue knew that Du Xin was not there, and his subordinates were afraid of the Zhu family and did not dare to attack with fire. But when Du Xin comes back, no matter how powerful Shen Qingyang is, he can't withstand it.

Shen Qingyang's friends were all far away in the army, and they didn't have tokens, so they couldn't even enter Yanzhou City.

Du Xin, on the other hand, was able to mobilize thousands of troops to besiege them, including fire attacks.

Du Xin was just waiting, and he would appear when he thought that the old prince must be dead.

Mei Xue fed the old prince an antidote pill again, and gave him acupuncture again before saying to the county lord of Changle:

"County Lord, you and Jiu'er are guarding the prince, I'll go see the Zhu family. As soon as the prince wakes up, you go and call me immediately. ”

The county lord of Changle hurriedly asked Mei Xue what she was going to do, and Mei Xue shook her hand and said:

"If the prince can wake up in time, it is naturally good, if not, as long as I can move the Zhu family, at least I can delay the time.

Or, if Zhu can provide me with some help, then everything can be reversed. ”

Although the county lord of Changle was panicked, she knew that what Mei Xue said was right.

Even if it is extremely unlikely that the Zhu family will be moved, this is already the last resort.

Mei Xue walked from the bedroom to the main hall and glanced out through the window.

The shouts of killing became clearer, and there were already many corpses in the courtyard.

Du Zhe was guarding the door of the main house, and his thin clothes and pants were already covered with blood.

Shen Qingyang and Liu Qi rushed to the front, and around them were soldiers in full armor.

It's been more than two hours, and even if they are iron men, there will always be times when they can't support it.

Mei Xue closed her eyes, turned around and walked towards the clean room.

Zhu was tied up and thrown into a bathtub that didn't hold water, with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth.

Mei Xue moved a chair and sat down opposite her, ignoring the anger in her eyes, took off the handkerchief from her mouth and said:

"Madame is devoted to the Buddha, but today she committed murder, in addition to her beloved son, is there any other reason?"

Zhu was furious, but her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move, so she angrily snorted at Mei Xue and said angrily:

", you deserve to talk to me?"

Although Zhu is not a princess or a princess now, she has a destiny. Since the death of the old princess, she has always been the most noble woman in Yanzhou City, and even in the entire northern territory.

Mei Xue smiled, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face indifferently and said:

"Since Madame is reluctant to speak, let me leave it to me.

It's just that I would like to kindly remind Madame that if I guess the truth, please say a word, and give us a little time to save each other. ”

Zhu only sneered, twisted his face away and refused to look at Mei Xue again.

Mei Xue leaned back in her chair and said slowly:

"Before I came to Yanzhou, I had learned as much as I could about the situation here, but I didn't suspect anything at that time.

Even if I met the second son in the post station, I still didn't think much about it, I just thought it was just a battle in the deep house.

After all, what mansion doesn't have such a thing?

But the first time I saw your son Du Xin, I began to doubt him. Especially when things have come to this point, I have connected all my suspicions, and I can already conclude that he is not really Du Xin. ”

Zhu laughed angrily, glanced at Mei Xue with disdain, and said:

"You're a madman."

Mei Xue didn't care, and continued calmly:

"In the eighteenth year of Mingde, the prince of Yan, that is, your husband, died in battle, and since then, you have taken refuge in the Buddhist hall.

I think since then, you haven't even seen your own son, right?

At the end of the winter of the nineteenth year of Mingde, your son, Du Xin, the newly established son of the King of Yan, was wounded and disappeared in the battle with the Xiongnu, and he returned to Yanzhou City by himself more than half a month later.

I guess the wounds on his body must have not healed at that time, and the scars on his forehead and chin fell at that time, right?

Just over a month later, your daughter-in-law, Concubine Feng, committed suicide by hanging herself on Chinese New Year's Eve.

And it was from that time that the old prince, who had always been healthy, began to fall ill intermittently, so he had to gradually hand over the power in his hands to Du Xin. ”

When Mei Xue said this, Zhu was still unmoved, and he didn't look at Mei Xue with his eyes closed.

These old things in Yanwangfu are not secrets, and people with a little heart can know about it.

Mei Xue looked at Zhu and continued:

"The fake Du Xin must look very similar to your real son, so he only moved his forehead and chin slightly, and there is no difference in appearance.

As for his voice, he was a man who had been seriously injured, and a slight change after his illness did not arouse suspicion.

But all his things can be faked, and there is only one thing that cannot be deceived and imitated, and that is the intimacy between husband and wife.

After he recovered from his injury, there was no reason to refuse, or he couldn't control it himself, in short, he showed his feet in front of the princess.

The princess must have felt humiliated but could not prove it, so she committed suicide.

Or, the princess did not commit suicide at all, but Du Xin killed her in order to kill her. ”

Mei Xue's voice gradually became colder, and Zhu's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.

Mei Xue looked at her and said coldly:

"You can not tell me anything, but think about it, from the time Du Xin returned home after being injured to the present, is he really not abnormal at all?

Also, you can think about what happened before the princess died. As her mother-in-law, Du Xin's mother, I don't believe she didn't behave in front of you before she died? ”

Seeing that Zhu's lips began to tremble, Mei Xue leaned forward, approached her and whispered:

"Although it is not uncommon for there to be two people who look very similar in this world, it may be rare to be like the fake Du Xin.

So, madam, I ask you to think again, will the deceased son, that is, your husband, have any other sons? ”

Before Mei Xue's words fell, Zhu suddenly turned his head and glared at her, and shouted hoarsely:

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense, impossible!"

Mei Xue didn't speak, just looked at Zhu calmly, watching the pain and panic in her eyes accumulate more and more.

Zhu gradually couldn't hold on, and suddenly began to cry and said:

"She's a, stealing her master's bed. She deserved to die, and she would have died a long time ago, one corpse and two lives, I saw people do it with my own eyes, and their mother and son would have died a long time ago. ”

Mei Xue sighed, slowly leaned back in her chair and stopped talking.

The moment the truth is unraveled, hurt and pain often take over the majority.

Zhu cried so much that his face was full of tears, and he choked up until he could barely breathe.

Mei Xue stood up, bent down to untie all the ropes on her hands and feet, and then looked at her and said:

"It's the medicine that Du Xin asked you to feed the prince, right? And he must lie to you that it is a cure, and let you feed the prince after he leaves.

He had arranged all of this, and he must have doubted me and Lord Shen.

Lord Shen set up a bureau for him, and he also set up a bureau for us, including you.

Borrow your hand to kill the prince, even if the prince does not die, the situation at this time is enough for him.

Kill all of us and put the blame on us.

Justifiably becoming the only owner of the Yan Wang's Mansion is the original purpose of the fake Du Xin, and it is also his ultimate goal.

The unexpected appearance of Lord Shen and I only prompted him to speed up the implementation of the plan. ”
