Chapter 60: Secret!
The father and daughter sat like this, and the cold wind kept pouring into the study, and although the earth dragon was burning, the temperature gradually dropped over time.
In the silent study, there was only the sound of two people breathing, Zhong Zihong wanted to speak several times, but he opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.
Zhong Li saw Zhong Zihong's actions in her eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she took the teapot from the stove and filled Zhong Zihong with a glass of water, and then spoke, "Father first drink tea to moisten, if you are not sleepy, my daughter wants to talk to you." ”
Zhong Zihong nodded silently, and couldn't help sighing, "Li'er, today's events are not as ...... as you know."
"I knew that my father's arrangement was only my father's intention, and I just cooperated with my father to make a reasonable response. Zhong Li didn't wait for him to finish his words before interrupting, seeing a hint of surprise flashing in Zhong Zihong's eyes, she continued straightforwardly, "Actually, even if my father doesn't make this arrangement today, I will make corresponding arrangements, so that the people in the Fuyuan Courtyard will naturally leave, making room for their mother and daughter to do what they want to do." ”
Zhong Zihong couldn't help but nod when he heard this, looking at his daughter's cold eyes, he couldn't help but think of his wife Ai Tianxue, her eyes were also so cold. It's just that in addition to the coldness in Zhong Li's eyes, there is also an awe-inspiring momentum.
"Father, don't get drunk like this in the future, drink and hurt your body and ......" Zhong Li gathered the cloak on his body, got up and closed the window, "I didn't see the guards when I came in, although the daughter heard what you said intermittently, but those words were really shocking." She didn't say it tactfully, and there was a hint of worry in her words.
"You...... You're ...... Heard it. Zhong Zihong looked at Zhong Li in surprise, his face changed slightly, and his mind, which was not very sober, instantly sobered up.
Over the years, he has escaped the same border guards, ignoring a pair of children left by Tianxue, and even not treating his daughter very much, but still has Lin Yue in the mansion as a prestige, although he has been back to the mansion twice over the years, but every time he comes back, Zhong Li always hides far away.
And he didn't care about this phenomenon, he just thought it was good, at least he didn't have to make himself feel pain in front of that face like Tianxue.
But today, he didn't know why, and after drinking some wine, he actually talked about the events of the year. What's even more unfortunate was that she was heard by Zhong Li, obviously her attitude was to know what happened back then.
After several struggles, Zhong Zihong took the teacup in his hand and drank the water, and said solemnly, "Since Li'er wants to know what happened back then, then I will tell you today, but don't let others know about it." ”
Father was relieved that no one else would know about it, not even his brother. Zhong Li nodded, promising that he would not reveal it to anyone.
"Not long after you were born, several princes took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet to force the palace and launched a massacre in the inner courtyard of the palace. At that time, there were less than one hundred and thirty palace guards with heavy casualties, and many of them were more or less wounded, and their combat effectiveness was naturally inferior to the strength of those princes. Your mother and the queen, Princess Ling and the ten princes and monks of the year were in infancy, and you accompanied the queen mother to take a break in the Chonghua Hall and never came to the banquet, it can be said that they escaped for the time being, but no one thought that they would carry out a major purge of the palace's palaces, and your mother took a few heartfelt palace people to fight with the rebellion in order to dispel the rebellion......"
Zhong Zihong whispered about the palace change back then, and didn't look at Zhong Li's reaction, "The queen took the rest of the people into the secret room of the Chonghua Palace, and handed over the sixteen princes to Princess Ling to take care of, but she quietly left the secret room and followed your mother to the Taimiao alone...... , Your mother used the secret forces in her hands and rebels to resist to the death, and those rebels actually used poison before they died, and the queen and the emperor were poisoned. Your mother and Prince Ling were also seriously injured, the rebellion was removed, and the prince who led the palace was captured alive, but most of the princes and princesses died under his sword. Until the time of the inventory, the second prince, who is the current emperor, was found by the guards in a rockery, and he fainted at that time...... , The queen knew that she would die soon, but the remnants did not get rid of the young son who stayed in the palace and feared that her life would be worried, so she entrusted the young ten princes to King Ling and Princess Ling. ”
Zhong Li tightened her hands hidden under the big haze, she didn't know anything about these secret things in her previous life, but now when she heard about it, she set off a storm in her heart. The rapid recollection of everything that had happened in her previous life made her tremble uncontrollably.
Zhong Li tried his best to control the shock in his heart, and took several deep breaths before calming down, "Father, this matter is ...... Does this matter cause the prince of Ling, and how can the current emperor know the true identity of the prince?"
"Today's emperor has experienced a palace change, and he also knows that all his brothers and sisters died tragically in the palace change, and in addition to him, there are also the eldest princess and the other three princes of his age who retreated into the temple with everyone, but ...... These three princes died several years after the emperor ascended the throne. Zhong Zihong's face turned pale instantly when he was asked like this, he has stayed away from the court over the years more or less related to the things after the palace change, although he never said that his daughter, who has not been treated well for many years, only listened to his narration and asked directly to the point, "As for the prince, it is estimated that he still doesn't know his identity, don't show it for the time being, if it is rumored out, I am afraid that the prince will worry about his life, and the Zhong Mansion will no longer have the peaceful days on the surface now." ”
Zhong Li nodded silently, it seems that the so-called exploration of the remnants of the hidden capital is just a pretense, and things are far beyond her expectations, and things are not so simple. With his own analysis, Zhong Li got up and retreated, and asked Zhong Zihong to pay attention to his body to rest earlier, turned around and left the study and returned to his Xinxue Courtyard.
What Zhong Zihong said tonight was too shocking for her, even if she Zhong Li had gone through two lives, all this had already exceeded her expectations, and her previous deployment was not enough at all, and she needed to adjust her plan and prepare more things. She didn't close her eyes all night, until the front yard reported the decree in the palace, and Zhong Fu went up and down to answer the decree, so she stopped what she was doing, freshened up and took Du Juan, An Ran and others to the front yard.
Zhong Li was wearing a purple dress, with a blue silk hair tied in a moon bun, and a pair of moon white glass tassel hairpins embellished in her hair, and the whole person looked very elegant. As soon as she arrived in the front yard, she heard the voice of the Lin family urging Zhong Qinghe behind her, and the words mixed with the prince's request for a decree floated into the ears of everyone in the front yard, and couldn't help but make everyone frown slightly, and when the Lin family came to the front yard, saw Zhong Li, his eyes immediately widened like black-eyed chickens, and he snorted coldly and took Zhong Qinghe towards Zhong Li.
"Waste, I really thought that I could fly on the branches and become a phoenix by dominating Xinxue Courtyard, it was just wishful thinking. Zhong Qinghe said through gritted teeth, and stepped forward to crash into Zhong Li.
Regarding Zhong Qinghe's behavior of running a family, Zhong Li smiled in his heart and staggered half a step away from her, and hooked his toes without a trace to bring Zhong Qinghe to the ground. Zhong Qinghe, who originally thought that she would succeed, fell to the ground on all fours, turned her head in disbelief and looked up at Zhong Li with a faint smile, and she immediately jumped up and pounced on Zhong Li in anger.
But before she could touch Zhong Li, she was stopped by Zhong Xiao, "You'd better be clear, you have to recognize your identity, Li'er is Miss Yan, you are a daughter, who gave you the courage to dare to collide with Miss Yan?" He reprimanded Zhong Qinghe, who looked unwilling, mercilessly, and continued without waiting for her to speak, "This grandmother and father in the front yard are here." I'm here to ask you if you haven't seen or haven't taken your elders into account. ”
"I ...... I'm not ......" Zhong Qinghe suddenly realized that her actions were out of place, and immediately opened her mouth to explain, but she stumbled when she spoke anxiously.
Zhong Li stood aside, calmly watching all this, "It's not that I didn't see it, but this Zhongfu Qinghe has always been like this, and now that the elders have returned to the mansion at once, they are naturally not used to it, and they think that the Zhongfu is respected by her and the Lin family, and the entire Zhongfu is her final say." A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he told the truth of the past with great venom.
Fortunately, she kindly explained to Zhong Qinghe, who was even frightened, and what was even more excessive was that she reached out and grabbed Zhong Qinghe, and asked softly, "Qinghe, you also have to change this style, it will be a shame in the mansion, if you are outside, it will be like this, but the face of the entire Zhenguo Mansion will be lost, and you will not go down to sort it out, the proclamator will arrive in a while, don't be rude and be good with talents." ”
The few people standing behind Zhong Li lowered their heads and tried not to let themselves laugh out loud, their young lady's mouth was really poisonous, too poisonous. And this method is very despicable, but even if the method is despicable and poisonous, they all think that this is really cool, their young lady is too handsome.
"Li'er has seen her grandmother and father. Zhong Li let go of Zhong Qinghe's hand, and slowly walked to Yan Shaolan and Zhong Zihong, who were sitting on the main seat, and greeted him. Turning to look at Zhong Xiao, who was dressed in a blue brocade robe, "Brother, if you have time later, can you accompany me to South Street once?"
"Okay, if my sister wants to go, my brother will accompany you, and you don't have to wait for me to be free. Zhong Xiao walked to her side, "It's all so big, and I'm in charge of the middle feed in the house, I don't know how to wipe my hands when they're dirty." As he spoke, he took her hand, took the handkerchief and carefully rubbed Zhong Li's hand over Zhong Qinghe, and then handed the handkerchief to the entourage beside him, and told him to take it down and clean it before giving it to him.
Because of his figure, Yan Shaolan and Zhong Zihong's sight were blocked, but this move fell into the eyes of Zhong Li and Lin, one just smiled and pretended not to hear anything, and the other had a face as beautiful as a palette.
