Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran looked at her.
"Regarding what Meishu said about us getting hurt when we were kids, I didn't tell her everything because I was afraid she would get impulsive."
When Meishu begged the princess, she hid in the dark, so she heard the conversation between several people. She felt that she needed to make things clear so as not to affect the judgment of the prince and princess.
"When we escaped from the sea of fire, I actually saw the butler guarding the city mansion in the shadows near our home. I have always suspected that it was Lu Xian who set the fire, and my parents' disappearance is also related to him."
The Phantom paused and said again.
"I was playful back then, and when no one was paying attention, I actually saw what my parents had bet on. It was a piece of jade as tall as an adult, with words carved on it. I only saw one sentence, 'Mu Dai Gu Xing'!
I guess my parents disappeared because of this jade. Over the years, I found out that 'Mu' is the surname of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and 'Gu' is..."
Phantom looked at Gu Yanming and continued, "It's the surname of the royal family of this dynasty!"
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran both frowned.
This reminded Ye Xinran of a historical story she had heard before, so she told it to them.
"I have heard a story before. Many, many dynasties ago, there was a general named Zhao who started a rebellion. However, he was afraid that he could not command the heroes because of his lack of authority. So he made a big fish as big as a boat, stuffed a yellow silk into the belly of the big fish, and wrote in red characters:
"Zhao is the emperor, he commands the heroes, the people support him, and the world is at peace!"
The fish was found by fishermen, who fished it out and took out the silk. This statement was spread out, and everyone believed it was God's will. General Zhao was then hailed as the Son of Heaven by everyone! "
Gu Yanming didn't expect that this could be done. He was shocked.
The Phantom also looked incredulous.
"So I seriously suspect that the jade stone back then also had the same effect!" Ye Xinran said, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be discovered by people! Then the royal family of the previous dynasty will come forward and compete with the royal family of the surname Gu for the world in an open and aboveboard manner."
Gu Yanming's surname was also Gu De, and he was also a member of the royal family. He certainly didn't want the previous dynasty to be restored. But, thinking of Gu Zhenting, he shook his head again. With such an emperor, the royal family was in danger.
Prince Wensheng was also a useless person. There were two other princes who didn't care about anything.
Gu Yanming suddenly felt a little tired. Could it be that the Gu family’s empire, which had only been passed down for less than a hundred years, was about to fall?
"Tell me, did you see the steward who guarded the city mansion back then?" Ye Xinran suddenly asked Meiying.
Phantom nodded.
"Then you haven't taken revenge in all these years?" Ye Xinran asked.
The Phantom nodded and shook his head.
"I was recovering from my injuries a few years ago, and later came back to investigate what happened back then. I only found out that my parents did help Lu Xian to secure goods and went to the Jiangnan area, but I couldn't find out what happened after that.
I thought that if I could not do it, I should kill Lu Xian and the housekeeper first to avenge myself and comfort my parents' spirits. The housekeeper was easily killed by me, but Lu Xian was very alert and had experts protecting him, so I failed. I had to give up first.
The day before yesterday, I learned that Zhu and Shen Wenjiao wanted Meishu to replace Fang Sihuan and marry someone else, so I went to Xiangcheng to inquire about it first, and took the opportunity to check out Lu Xian’s recent movements. I then learned that Lu Xian’s original wife had died, and they wanted Meishu to be Lu Xian’s concubine!
I think this is an opportunity. I will marry Meishu and seize the opportunity to kill Lu Xian!"
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows! It turned out that Shen Wenjiao wanted Fang Sihuan to marry the city guard Lu Xian. This was interesting.
Gu Yanming also discovered the connection. If the other party wanted Fang Sihua, it must be because she had the ability to predict the future, but this ability was only known to Mr. Nanhua's people. This means that Lu Xian is also related to Mr. Nanhua. And Lu Xian is related to the restoration of the previous dynasty. Does this mean that Mr. Nanhua is actually a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the real master behind her is the orphan of the previous royal family?
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran looked at each other, obviously thinking of the same possibility.
Now that I know Mr. Nanhua’s true purpose, many things become clear to me!
Mr. Nanhua first joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack Gu Yanming and his group, causing Gu Yanming to suffer heavy losses, and was seriously injured and unconscious. As a result, Gu Yanming was suspected by the emperor, and his family property was confiscated and he was exiled.
She also had people kill innocent girls in Lvli City, and sent things made with the girls' blood to the palace for the Queen Mother and Concubine Liu to use, in order to make the people think that the Gu royal family had lost their morals and lost the support of the people. She also sold some of them at high prices to make huge profits.
Inciting King Wensheng to rebel was also to destabilize the political situation in Daliang so that he could reap the benefits.
The soldiers hidden in the mountains were apparently raised by King Wensheng. It is estimated that the military pay and food were paid by King Wensheng himself. In fact, they were the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they were prepared in advance to overthrow Daliang. If they had not discovered it in time and let these soldiers enter Yanjing City, when the emperor and King Wensheng were both defeated, the next moment, these soldiers would probably kill the emperor and King Wensheng. And the master behind them would immediately ascend the throne in Yanjing City.
Each of these actions are good moves. Mr. Nanhua is truly a powerful figure.
Ye Xinran thought of Phantom's words and shook her head, "We can't kill Lu Xian yet. He's useful! We need to find the jade they took away. Otherwise, if the jade really appears as a miracle, the consequences will be disastrous."
Gu Yanming was startled, then nodded. "If the jade really appears, people will believe what it says, which will be very disadvantageous to us."
"In fact, if you can find it, it's fine. If you can't, there is a way to deal with it!" Ye Xinran comforted. "The method is very simple. Get a few more jade stones with words engraved on them. Once there are too many things, they will lose their value and people will no longer trust them. This is fighting poison with poison, but it's a bit expensive."
"We already have a lot of clues. As long as we find the person who connected Zhongqiu and Yu Xiaodie, we can determine who is the man behind the scenes, that is, Mr. Nanhua's real master. If we catch him, Mr. Nanhua, we must be careful about what happens."
"Yes! Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Xiangcheng." Gu Yanming nodded. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.
"By the way, how did Master Yan manage to make the exile team stay for another two days?" Ye Xinran asked Meiying curiously.
Meiying coughed awkwardly and said, "Mr. Yan gave that Dong Yishu a laxative, and he has been running to the toilet, so the trip was delayed."
Ye Xinran chuckled. "Sure enough, Master Uncle has a way. It doesn't hurt anyone, and it doesn't achieve the goal!"
Gu Yanming also wanted to laugh.
"Mr. Yan also drugged a few people he didn't like." The face under the Phantom's veil slightly raised. He also felt funny and anxious.
