Chapter 936: The mountain has trees and the trees have branches, I love you but you don’t know it

Wang Mang looked at Fang Wenhe in silence.

Fang Wenhe put the teapot back on the small stove on the side and made a gesture of invitation to Wang Mang.

Wang Mang looked down at the turbid tea and said, "She should have stayed in the capital instead of coming back."

Fang Wenhe picked up a grape and peeled it gently, saying, "The general has followed the prince for many years. I heard that the general was by the prince's side before he was canonized as a prince, right?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes."

Fang Wenhe put the crystal grape into his mouth, swallowed it and then said: "I heard that the late princess didn't want to marry the prince, but..."

When he said this, Wang Mang looked at Fang Wenhe with a changed look in his eyes: "Sir, matters concerning the princess are taboos in Shu!"

Fang Wenhe sneered: "Sir, if you come to me, it's not a taboo?"

Wang Mang was silent.

Fang Wenhe continued, "I heard that the princess was from the Chen family, a large family with hereditary duke titles. At that time, the Chen family was known as a family that controlled the entire territory of Shu and all walks of life in the Western Regions. Even at that time, if the concubines in the harem wanted Shu brocade or the nobles wanted Shu paper, no one dared to agree without the approval of the Chen family. I don't know what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty or the officials were like at that time, but I heard that the prince was able to stand out in the battle for the throne that many people dare not mention until now because he got the support of the old duke of the Chen family. It was also at that time that the prince and the princess got married."

Wang Mang remained silent.

Fang Wenhe continued, "But, I heard that the princess already had someone in her heart, a scholar with great talent. The old duke admired him very much, but unfortunately, they were not a good match. After the old duke forbade the scholar to meet the princess, he went to the Chen Mansion several times but was driven away by the Chen family. Later, they even used force to drive him away. The princess went on a hunger strike to resist, but in the end, the old duke had the scholar arrested and put a knife to his neck, saying 'If you don't marry me, I'll kill him', which made the princess finally follow the old duke's wish. And..."

Bang!

Wang Mang slammed the table and looked at Fang Wenhe: "Sir, you are going too far. What does this have to do with why I came here today?"

As he spoke, Wang Mang revealed his murderous aura on the battlefield. Even though he knew Fang Wenhe was a great master of the realm, he was not afraid at all: "And sir, you know so much, who told you!"

Fang Wenhe smiled, but he didn't care about it. He continued, "Moreover, on the wedding night, it was the Chen family who drugged the princess to make her look like she was willing to spend the wedding night with the prince, because the Chen family needed the princess to give birth to a royal bloodline, and it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as they had the eldest son. As their wish came true, the princess was born. At that time, the prince took the princess and the princess to the capital. At that time, the fight for the throne had reached a critical point. The prince was sentimental after all, so he sent someone to follow the princess to protect her, and that person was you, General."

Wang Mang was murderous: "Fang Wenhe."

Fang Wenhe said slowly: "Although that scholar did not win the title of the top scholar, he did pass the imperial examination and the two of them met in the capital. I think about the scene at that time. It should be that the two met at the banquet. Both sides recognized each other, but could only watch and could not do anything. The prince knew about their affairs, but did nothing, because the prince's arrogance made him not need to do anything to such a scholar. But the Chen family would never allow it, because their plan was perfect, and they only needed the last step, so they would not allow any trouble."

"So after the scholar returned to his hometown, he was beaten to death in the reed marsh outside Deyang City. It was called a riot by mountain bandits, and even on the third day, the Deyang government arrested and beheaded more than a dozen people, and the case was hastily closed. After the princess knew that the scholar had died, she fell ill and became depressed. The strange thing was that no one in the Chen family cared about her. Instead, the prince found an imperial physician to take care of the princess every day, and the prince would always accompany her every day. But at that time, the fight for the throne had reached the most critical period, and the late emperor had used all his hidden means. Even with the support of the Chen family, our prince still lost, so he simply saved his life and returned to Shu."

Wang Mang kept looking at Fang Wenhe but said nothing.

Fang Wenhe continued, "When passing through Deyang City, the princess dragged her seriously ill body to the reed marsh and stood there, facing south, for a day. Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, the prince had to take the princess and the princess to the capital, but the Chen family used some means to allow the prince to return, but they had to leave the princess as a hostage. At that time, the Chen family began to spare no effort to invite famous doctors from all over the country to treat the princess, because the princess stayed in the capital, and they wanted the princess to give birth to another child for the prince."

"It's a pity that the princess didn't want the young princess to stay alone in the capital, so she insisted on staying and even begged the late emperor and empress. The Chen family failed, so the prince left the guard to protect the princess and the princess and went back alone. The Chen family also left one of their family members with the prince. After all, they still needed someone with royal blood. But the princess' illness in the capital became more and more serious. Even with Mr. Zhang's help, there was still no way to save her. She could only be delayed with medicine."

"After several years, the government was stable, and the late emperor allowed the princess and the county lord to go back. However, the late emperor knew what happened to the princess, so he wanted them to stay in the capital. However, the princess wanted to go back, and the county lord also wanted to go back, so the late emperor had to agree. It was still outside Deyang City, and it was still the reed marsh. The princess stood there. I found many people and finally learned that after arriving in Deyang City, the princess asked the guards around her to buy rouge and beautiful clothes. It is said that since marrying into the palace, the princess has never applied rouge or dressed herself up herself, but that day the princess put on the clothes, applied rouge, walked in the reed marsh, and stood for a day as well, but this time, the princess passed away. The guard burned the princess's body and buried it in the reed marsh. It is said that after returning, the guard was punished by the prince, but was only sent to the border army."

Fang Wenhe looked at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang clenched his fists, his face extremely cold.

Fang Wenhe smiled and said, "General, please don't be like this. Although I have entered the realm of the ultimate by chance and my killing power is not high, it is still the realm of the ultimate. If you make a move, you really can't beat me."

Veins bulged on Wang Mang's forehead, but the next moment, he sat back down.

Fang Wenhe went on to say, "The princess actually knew everything. After all, she was too smart. And the princess might have said something to the princess. Anyway, the second year after the princess came back, the entire Chen family was poisoned on the birthday of the old Duke of the Chen family. The poisoners were a family of three. The head of the family was called Chen Tao, and there was a servant of the Chen family. After the three of them were exposed, the five sons of the Chen family were poisoned, but they knew it was the princess who ordered them to do so. They planned to kill the princess, but Chen Tao and his wife tried their best to protect the princess. When the Chen family members were poisoned, the princess took a knife and started killing them. No one in the Duke's Mansion survived."

"The Chen family's old Taishan celebrated his birthday, and Chen family members from all over the country came. That day was the best day to take action, and the princess killed them all. The Duke of the dynasty died, and the entire family was wiped out, but the court was surprisingly quiet. According to the laws of Daxia, all the Chen family's property was inherited by the princess, but the princess was young, so she naturally entered the palace. In the capital, the emperor did not say anything about this matter, and all officials remained silent, and the matter just passed. But I learned that at that time, some members of the Chen family actually escaped in secret, but they still died."

When it comes to here.

Fang Wenhe looked at Wang Mang and said, "I found out that the princess went to the scholar and said something. It was a very ordinary sentence. That's why the Chen family planned to kill the scholar."

Wang Mang's face was gloomy: "Enough!!"

After saying that, Wang Mang was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Fang Wenhe: "Your Highness already knows why I came here today. I will tell Your Highness the truth about what you talked to me about!"

Fang Wenhe smiled and stood up, bowing to Wang Mang: "General."

Wang Mang didn't want to continue listening and left directly, but he heard Fang Wenhe's voice in his ears.

"There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. I love you but you don't know it."
