Just as they were talking, the previous stone brick was slowly lifted again, and then a pair of slender and bright eyes quietly appeared on the edge of the gap, secretly looking out, and it was Li Yu, who had disappeared for most of the day.

When he saw the girl with his back to him, his eyes flashed with joy, and he just wanted to call her, but he quickly stopped. Because at this time, Tang Zixi just happened to move, revealing the pretty face that was blocked. He was stunned when he saw this face, and an extremely complicated look appeared in his eyes.

Neither of them noticed anything unusual here, but only listened to Ji Ting continue: "It was very dark in the room at that time, although I couldn't see the person's face clearly, but I was sure that it was a woman, and her status was very high. ”

Tang Zixi snorted and said, "I also thought of what you said." To have such a big power in the palace, and to be able to arrest you without alarming others, your status must be very noble, either a concubine or a queen. It's just that I haven't thought about it for the time being, which one hates our Tang family so much. ”

Ji Ting nodded approvingly and said, "This is also what I thought of later, do you know which prince General Tang is loyal to?"

Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard this, thought about it and said: "It shouldn't be, now that the emperor is in his prime, my father will not stand in line so clearly." ”

"That's not right!" Ji Ting shook her head and said, "General Tang supports the crown prince!"

Tang Zixi was stunned for a moment and said: "The crown prince is the future emperor, and it is only natural for his father to praise him, how can he support him?"

"Herein lies the problem. Ji Ting shook her head and said, "That prince is obsessed with fat and honest, and he is not the material to be an emperor at all." So some people have other thoughts. If you think about it, who has shown you a lot of favor over the years?"

Tang Zixi pondered for a moment and then said, "I think it's all the same." ”

Ji Ting glanced at her, sighed inaudibly, and said, "If I guessed correctly, it should be Concubine Shu." ”

"What?" Tang Zixi's movements in his hand suddenly stopped, and he was almost injured by the internal force that he had come back from.

Li Yu, who was listening quietly not far away, was taken aback, and was about to jump out of the hole, but stopped abruptly.

"Are you okay?" Ji Ting didn't expect such a big reaction from the other party, and hurriedly said, "You don't need to lose my internal strength, I can hold on until I finish speaking." ”

Tang Zixi waved his hand, gathered his mind and ran his true qi throughout his body, and after a few weeks, he finally suppressed the feeling of boredom in his heart, and then said, "I'm fine, you continue." ”

Ji Ting kept paying attention to her expression, and when she saw that she had finally returned to normal, she continued: "Concubine Shu did all this to let the Seventh Prince replace the crown prince, and for this reason she will win over everyone who can win over, and she will also get rid of all those who support the prince or don't accept her pull." Think about it, why did she send her only son to your Tang Mansion, and also specified that he should enter the Iron Blood Camp to train. Is it really because she wants to sharpen the Seventh Prince, or is it because she and Madame Tang are cousins?"

Tang Zixi's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she couldn't imagine that the whole thing was actually related to Li Ling.

“…… Concubine Shu gave birth to a total of five princes, and only seven princes survived. Are those princes who died young really because of illness?"

"Isn't it?" Tang Zixi said tremblingly.

Ji Ting shook her head and said, "I don't know if you remember, there was once a imperial doctor surnamed Gu in the palace, and his medical skills were not under Imperial Doctor Sun. ”

Tang Zixi snorted and said, "The emperor once sent an ancient imperial doctor to the mansion to treat his grandmother's illness, and his medical skills are very clever. I heard that I fell into the lotus pond because I was drunk...... My grandmother was very sad for a while. ”

Ji Ting's eyes looked directly at each other, and said word by word: "His old man doesn't drink a drop of alcohol!"

Tang Zixi was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?"

"Because he's my uncle. Ji Ting didn't look over, her voice was a little choked, "His old man just discovered something that shouldn't be discovered, and was killed by some people." If I hadn't stumbled upon the codex left by his old man, I wouldn't have known the truth until I died. ”

Tang Zixi was also stunned, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and only after a long time did he speak: "Who killed the ancient imperial doctor?"

Ji Ting gritted her teeth and said, "It's the queen." If she hadn't been afraid of death and invited so many masters, I would have killed her a long time ago. I don't know if it was because she was too excited and affected the injury, she let out a muffled snort, the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, her expression was very painful, she raised her hand to stop Tang Zixi's action of getting up, and changed her words, "Do you remember, once you beat Gou Shangshu's baby son in order to save a pair of father and daughter who were singing?"

Tang Zixi nodded silently, with an extremely complicated look on his face.

How could she not remember, it was because she beat Gou Tang on impulse that she was locked up at home, and then there were a series of things such as escaping later. She even wondered sometimes that if she had been calmer at that time, less impulsive, and had chosen other ways to deal with it, would everything have been different? But now it is useless to regret it, the big mistake has been made, the Tang Mansion is no longer there, the relatives are gone, and the reckless 'Tang San Gongzi' is gone.

Ji Ting didn't pay attention to her face, but said something that surprised her.

"Actually, someone deliberately arranged that incident. Even if you can resist it, someone will help you make a move, and Gongzi Gou is destined to be seriously injured by you, the Gongzi of the Tang Mansion. Speaking of this, Ji Ting suddenly stopped and glanced at her with some guilt, "I was also present at the time, and our task is to make you seriously injure Gongzi Gou." Actually, we have prepared a lot of back-ups, but I didn't expect you to ......"

"I didn't expect me to be so brainless and so easily instigated. Tang Zixi finished the unfinished words for her, and said with a smile, "Among the children of the Tang Mansion, only I, a fool, would fall for this kind of fool, and you have chosen the right person to start with me." ”

Ji Ting sighed and said, "In order to protect that poor father and daughter, you will definitely bring them back to the house." Because you know that the people of the Gou family will be angry with those two fathers and daughters if they can't do anything about you. What will happen to the people who are targeted by the Gou family, I think you know better than me? This is the main reason why we will choose you. After a pause, he said, "Actually, the father and daughter are our people." Their task was to steal General Tang's letters and replace them with letters that had been copied a long time ago. You don't have to think about it to guess what's inside. ”

Tang Zixi was really stunned this time, she never expected that kindness would also be used by others, and it turned out that sometimes compassion with others is cruelty to herself. She couldn't help but start to think, if she hadn't brought people back to the house at the beginning, but gave them some silver to leave Luoyang City, would nothing have happened in the future? But after thinking about it, she denied this idea, since the other party was planning to frame her, even if she avoided it once, she could avoid it a second time? In the final analysis, all this is fate, her life, and the life of the Tang family.

"No way! You're lying. ”

Tang Zixi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Xiaoying is only nine years old, how can she be a spy." ”

Ji Ting looked at her quietly, her eyes were full of sympathy, and she said slowly: "Although she is not very old, she is the most ruthless among those killers. Mrs. Donald was killed by her own hands. ”

"Grandmother!" Tang Zixi suddenly stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and that kind face appeared in his mind, and he could no longer bear to cover his face and cry bitterly.

Hearing her cry, Li Yu, who was listening quietly under the stone bricks, couldn't help but reddened his eyes, and his hands were deeply embedded in the soil.

Ji Ting covered her mouth and coughed lightly a few times, seeing the blood spilling between her fingers, she knew that she couldn't waste any more time, so she immediately sped up her speech and said: "That time, Mrs. Tang entered the palace to plead with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also agreed, and specially gave a soft sedan chair to the old lady. The eunuch who carried the sedan chair did not send her old man out of the palace, but carried it to Nagato Palace. Because it is the most remote place, no one usually goes there at all. The Xiao Ying in your mouth was there who stabbed the old lady to death. ”

Tang Zixi's face became very terrifying, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth like an arrow. She always thought that her grandmother couldn't stand this blow before she died, and Tang Qianzhi also told her so, but she never expected that she was killed by the people she brought into the mansion with her own hands.

Ji Ting also shed tears when she saw her like this, and choked up: "Although I hate the Tang family, I have always respected the old lady. Back then, her old man saved her grandfather from danger many times, and our family remembered this situation. Don't worry, I have killed Xiao Ying, which can be regarded as a tribute to the old lady's spirit in the sky. ”

Tang Zixi's face was blank, and it took a long time before he moved his eyes, and said: "If I don't die, every year when I worship my family, I will burn some paper money for the Fang family together." ”

Ji Ting trembled when she heard this, got up desperately, kowtowed three times in a row at Tang Zixi, and said with tears streaming down her face: "There is no way to repay the great kindness and great virtue." Fang Peihuan wishes to tie the grass ring in the next life. ”

Tang Zixi laughed loudly, and the laughter sounded particularly terrible in this quiet secret room, only to hear her say quietly: "Everyone is a hard-working person, so why talk about repaying or not repaying." ”

Ji Ting raised her head and said sincerely: "If I could have figured it out earlier and told you all this earlier, there would have been no such tragedies." ”

"You're wrong!" Tang Zixi laughed miserably, "Even without you and Concubine Shu, the emperor will still find an excuse to destroy our Tang family and destroy everything he thinks will threaten his throne." So it's not you, it's not me, it's no one else. It's just the way of the world that's wrong. ”

"Ahh

Ji Ting suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then all parts of her body began to beat violently, as if something was about to break out of her body. Her hands kept scratching at her body, on her face, on her neck. Her face and neck were bloodied with her fingernails, and her delicate features were deformed by the pain.

The whole scene looks extremely terrifying!
