Perhaps the noise of the fight outside was too loud, the old woman inside turned around and looked over. Her expression was originally calm and peaceful, but the moment she saw it, her expression immediately became incredible.

The direction she was looking was exactly where Xianren was.

"You...you're back..." the old woman said as she walked out tremblingly.

Xianren was startled by her and silently took two steps back.

The old woman still walked towards him. Su Bei noticed that she seemed to be holding something in her hand, like a purse.

Xianren took a few steps back, but Chu Younan gave him a look, telling him not to ruin things.

He stopped moving, his face stiff as he stared at the old woman staggering towards him.

The old woman's eyes were surprisingly bright. She didn't look like an old person, but more like a young girl in love.

"You're here to pick me up, aren't you?" She walked to Xianren's side, looked up at him, eyes full of eagerness, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time..."

As she spoke, she leaned into Xianren's arms.

Xianren's mouth twitched wildly, but he didn't dare to move...

The old woman didn't speak or move again. After a long while, Xianren finally spoke, "She, she, she...seems to be...seems to be...gone..."

At this time, the woman just now became quiet. She spat and said, "You should have died a long time ago, you old man. People in other families live to be 50 or 60 years old, but I don't know what's wrong with the people in your Mu family. They are all in their 70s or 80s!"

Chu Younan didn't care much about her attitude. On the contrary, he cared more about the purse in the old woman's hand.

He stepped forward and helped Xianren lay the old woman down, and the purse in her hand just fell to the ground.

"Here's the silver. Bury the old man and move to the village!" Chu Younan threw a silver ingot to the woman, and then said, "From now on, you can just farm for a living and don't have to keep an eye on that man anymore!"

When she first saw the silver ingot, the woman was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. But when she heard him say that, she was shocked for a moment, "What did you say? How do you know that person?"

"You don't need to ask any more questions, just do as I say!" Chu Younan said and got on the horse.

In his hand, he held the purse.

On the way back, he didn't speak a word until he reached the woods outside the Yao Meng formation. He stopped his horse and spoke: "That's not the case at all!"

As he spoke, he took out his purse.

The purse has a navy blue background and a red flower embroidered on it, exactly the same as the flower on the handkerchief.

"My previous guesses were based on Yao Meng's thoughts. When I read the handwriting again, I had a preconceived notion, so I thought that Yao Meng killed the prince and princess. But in fact, that's not the case..."

"Yao Meng was deceived, we were deceived, and the princess who wrote the letter was also deceived..."

"More than 60 years ago, the old woman found an injured man. The man had injured his head for some reason, so he forgot everything that happened before. After the man woke up, he didn't know who he was or where to go, so he lived in the village with the old woman."

"At that time, the old woman's father was a hunter, so he took this adopted son-in-law to hunt. At first, everything was fine, but when they got close to the forest, the man suddenly trembled with fear as if he had encountered a wild beast, and said there was a monster in there."

"Thinking of the blood all over his body, the hunter took him home and told his family not to go near the forest again. Many years passed, the man and the old woman had a child, the old hunter died, and everyone forgot about the monster incident."

"When the man brought his son to this forest to hunt, he suddenly remembered something and said that there was a monster in the mountain that would hurt people if it came out. From then on, the man's son followed his father's orders and did not hunt or farm all day, but just stared at the 'monster' here."

"But the monster never came out. Although the old woman was very dissatisfied with this, she never dared to question it because she had to obey her husband. However, although she served him carefully, her husband still fell seriously ill and his illness became worse and worse."

"When the man was terminally ill, he suddenly woke up one day and told the old woman that he was the prince of Xian Kingdom. Of course, no one believed him. Even when he was dying and talking nonsense, no one believed him."

"He died just like that, but the old woman kept thinking about him because of his nonsense before his death. He made his descendants guard the most barren land and live the most impoverished life, but he never forgot to guard this forest and the strange people in it for him."

"Until she died, the old woman couldn't believe whether what he said was true."

Chu Younan sighed and looked at the south solemnly, "Yao Meng is a man of outstanding talent. Although he is not good at fighting, he led his soldiers to repel the enemy, all thanks to his outstanding formation. However, the emperor at that time was worried that he would be too powerful, so he planned to kill him..."

"You mean, they're all fake?" Su Bei looked at him in astonishment.

Chu Younan shook his head, "Not entirely. It's true that the princess is in love with him, and it's also true that the prince and the princess are in love. But the prince didn't come here to help the princess. It was the emperor who asked him to wait for an opportunity to kill Yao Meng, and promised that if he succeeded, the position of crown prince would be his. But...something went wrong, and when he saw Yao Meng suspicious and furious, he changed his mind and killed the princess, hoping to drive Yao Meng crazy..."

There was shock on everyone's face.

There is no need to say more about what happened next. Yao Meng just thought he had killed the princess, so he almost went crazy. After the prince fought with Yao Meng, he wanted to escape back to claim the credit, but he accidentally hit his head.

It is true that evil is rewarded with evil. He tried his best to please the emperor, but ended up living in the countryside all his life. In his middle age, he was troubled by the so-called "monster" and was restless all day long. In his later years, he was plagued by diseases and could not live in peace...

As a result, Su Bei's hostility towards Yao Meng disappeared instantly, and he even felt a little sympathy for him.

only……

"We can't tell him the truth!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice, "Yao Meng is a man of deep thoughts. If he knew, I'm afraid Xian Country would never be at peace again."

Everyone was silent for a while, and all agreed to Chu Younan's proposal, especially Xianren.

Yao Meng knew that he was from the Xian family, so he let him go. If he knew that someone from the Xian family killed his beloved, he would probably let the entire Xian country be buried with him.

"Don't say it! Don't say it! I'll do whatever you want me to do!" Xianren said nervously, changing his usual leisurely demeanor.

Chu Younan took out the purse and said, "Give this to him and tell him that the princess asked him to protect Xian Kingdom before she died."

Xianren has a headache.

The princess probably died in front of Yao Meng. How can one make up this nonsense?
