However, after a long time, so long that Su Xiaoxiao began to wonder if she had misunderstood Helian Ye's meaning, a muffled rumbling sound came from the east.
The bookshelf moved aside, revealing a dark secret room.
Then, a tall man in black clothes walked out slowly.
Su Xiaoxiao had seen a portrait of the King of Nanyang when he was young. He was a handsome man in fine clothes, riding a horse, full of vigor and vitality, and as elegant as jade.
The appearance of the man in front of me gradually overlapped with that in the portrait. The difference was that there were traces of time on his face, but he was still handsome.
Da Hu, Er Hu and Xiao Hu's features resemble his, but not quite like him.
The child's eyes were clear and bright, but there was a cold and sinister look in his eyes.
This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao met the King of Nanyang in person. Since she had only seen his portrait before and had not formed a fixed impression of him, she was able to accept it easily.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
King Nanyang has a very strong aura, but Su Xiaoxiao is not at all timid in front of him.
This is no ordinary girl.
King Nanyang's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao's face: "Are you Qin Canglan's granddaughter?"
The voice of King Nanyang was very pleasant to hear, but it was too cold, as if a pond of ice had been shattered.
Su Xiaoxiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes."
King Nanyang asked again: "How did you guess that?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "General Helian was only halfway through his words when I guessed that he had some reservations."
Although Helian Ye is stupid, he sometimes has some brains and knows how to hint to her with various expressions and eyes.
The only question Helian Ye really asked just now was: Is Wu'an Jun his father?
When asked about Wei Chen later, he did not mention Wei Chen's name. It seemed that he had not mentioned Wei Chen to King Nanyang yet.
As for when he asked whether the Grand Princess was the mastermind behind the incident, he didn't say a word, but his eyes said it all.
Prince Nanyang said calmly: "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"If you want to ask how I guessed that the person behind the scenes was not the Grand Princess, but you." Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "That's a long story."
In fact, until tonight, she had never guessed that it was King Nanyang.
No one should guess it was him.
They were misled at the beginning by the portrait treasured by Prime Minister Guo, and then by Sikong Yun, whose silence was naturally taken as acquiescence.
Thinking back carefully, Sikong Yun never clearly said from beginning to end: "My master is the Grand Princess."
Unfortunately, I didn’t react at that time.
It was Moye's words that made her doubt that the Grand Princess was the mastermind behind the plot.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The eldest princess does not know martial arts. To be exact, she has only learned the basics. If she fights with Moye, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand a single move."
Prince Nanyang asked: "Is it possible that she is hiding her incompetence?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I've thought about it that way too."
Until... she heard the terrifying mumbling in her sleep, constantly calling "Father", "Second Brother", "Third Brother"... "Your Highness".
Wei Liulang said that his elder brother must have dreamed of the battle at Suibei Pass.
They "died in battle" together. Gui Bu witnessed their tragic situation and it was deeply imprinted in his mind, so he kept calling out to them, but what about that "Your Highness"?
She asked Wei Liulang if there was anyone who could go to war on behalf of the emperor?
Wei Liulang said no.
So, who was the prince that Gui Bu met at Suibei Pass?
The eldest princess has become a nun. Four years ago, she was chanting sutras in a nunnery in Qingzhou.
True, she could also sneak to Suibei Pass, but given her status, if Wei Chen met her, he would not omit her title and call her "Your Highness" directly, as that would be too intimate.
At this point, Su Xiaoxiao already suspected that they had made a mistake.
Su Xiaoxiao recalled what Zhong Shan had said to her: "The nun... treats the King of Nanyang very well."
She was totally confused when she heard it. She was investigating the Grand Princess, so how did it involve the King of Nanyang?
Could it be that Zhongshan saw something?
Is he speaking for the Grand Princess in a roundabout way? After all, the Prince of Nanyang and the Wei family are in the same boat. The Grand Princess loves the Prince of Nanyang and will never cut off his arm.
As a loyal and honest man, it is understandable that Zhongshan would defend his master. Perhaps he was not aware of the Grand Princess's plan.
Now that she thought about it, Zhong Shan had been reminding her to be careful of King Nanyang from the very beginning.
Of course, whether it was Gui Bu or Zhong Shan, Su Xiaoxiao would not say it in front of King Nanyang.
The following can be discussed.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The late emperor's will is useless if the Grand Princess wants it. It will be useful if you ask for it."
"Just based on a will?" King Nanyang looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a look of disbelief.
He is not someone who is easily fooled. He is usually the one who fools others. Just look at Helian Ye, this big villain, and you will know.
But Su Xiaoxiao just wouldn't say anything, so what could he do to him?
Prince Nanyang sat down on the chair and smiled nonchalantly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. It doesn't matter anyway. You are very smart, smarter than I thought. Did you really grow up in the countryside? Or - are you a fake?"
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
This guy's eyes are so vicious.
He is indeed the master behind the scenes who keeps everyone in the dark.
Mo Guiyuan is his chess piece, Helian Ye is his chess piece, and so are Prime Minister Guo and Sikong Yun.
"Ten years ago, your rebellion failed, and when Wu Anjun rushed to rescue you, he also saved you, right?"
"That's right."
"Go on." Prince Nanyang seemed to admire the little girl.
"In addition to Wu'an Jun and the Grand Princess, Wei Chen also knows that you are still alive. He saw you at Suibei Pass."
Su Xiaoxiao felt that Wei Xu should also know about it, but it was hard to say about the rest of the Wei family members.
It was obvious that Old Madam Wei was unaware of this, and neither were Wei Liulang and Wei Ting.
Prince Nanyang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, as if he wanted to correct something or add something, but in the end he held back.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at King Nanyang strangely: "What I can't understand is why you would deal with the Wei family? And use such a cruel method?"
Prince Nanyang raised his finger and pointed at Helian Ye on the bed: "It's not me who is cruel, it's him. I just want their lives."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold: "So you admit that the tragedy of the Wei family was indeed caused by you. They are your right-hand men and your biggest supporters. Do you have any reason to kill them?"
This is the reason why Su Xiaoxiao never suspected King Nanyang. It was not because he was dead, but because he had no reason to frame the Wei family.
Anyone in the world could be it, except him! Something flashed in King Nanyang's eyes, and then he smiled.
This guy looks so good when he smiles. Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu will definitely become charmingly handsome men when they grow up.
He said, "Girl, if I tell you that I was also deceived, would you believe it?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "If I say I believe it, do you believe that I really believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Prince Nanyang smiled regretfully, "You are too smart. If you hadn't married into the Wei family, I might have spared your life."
There was no fear in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes: "You want to kill me? Can you kill me?"
Dong! Dong! There were continuous sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground outside the door. The two guards fell down.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Forgot you have a traitor."
There was no sound of fighting, and the assassin lost consciousness instantly, which was very similar to the way Moye was hit.
Prince Nanyang smiled and said, "Girl, your courage is beyond my imagination, but, this is the end."
He walked slowly towards Su Xiaoxiao.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, a flying knife shot towards him rapidly.
He turned his head to avoid it, and the flying knife stabbed fiercely into the door cabinet! It was Helian Ye.
Prince Nanyang glanced at Helian Ye with a faint smile and said, "Want to protect this girl? Well, I will give you a favor today and let her go."
After saying that, he flashed to the door and opened it with great confidence. Like a noble emperor, he gracefully and proudly stepped over the dead men on the ground and disappeared into the boundless night.
"What happened?"
The princess of the Western Jin Dynasty rushed over with her people.
Not only did she send her own assassins to guard it, she also had her own eagle watching from the tree branch.
The moment the warrior fell, her eagle flew back to find her.
Envoys from Northern Yan and some officials from Great Zhou also hurried to the scene.
"Are you okay?" The first person the princess of Western Jin Dynasty was concerned about was Su Xiaoxiao.
"I'm fine, but he..." Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Helian Ye who was vomiting blood, "He needs to be resuscitated again."
He was already seriously injured and had just used his internal energy.
Su Xiaoxiao would not be moved. He was not saving her, but taking revenge on King Nanyang.
Su Xiaoxiao threatened: "You have to clear Mo Xie's grievances, otherwise I won't save you. After all, you are no longer useful."
Just throw it away after use!
Helian Ye said aggrievedly, "The murderer is not Moye," and then fainted completely.
The rescue took another hour.
When she came out, Su Mo was waiting for her at the door.
Su Mo said: "Wei Ting went to chase someone."
The reason why Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid of King Nanyang hurting her was not only because she had a golden finger, but also because Su Mo and Wei Ting were lurking on the roof.
The two heard all the conversations with King Nanyang.
Su Mo was shocked. He never expected it to be the King of Nanyang.
Like Su Xiaoxiao, he couldn't understand King Nanyang's motive for killing the Wei family.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "I'm afraid we can only know what happened that year when Gui Bu wakes up."
"I'm afraid he won't wake up so soon..." Su Mo went to see Gui Bu. His breathing was disordered, and the internal force in his dantian was running wild. Being in a coma for ten days or half a month was considered a light punishment.
Gui Bu fell into an endless nightmare, which repeated over and over again, and no amount of injections of medicine could help.
The three little ones just came back from the Queen Mother.
They didn't know that their uncle was sick and thought he was just lying in bed.
Xiaohu kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed with his two brothers.
The three little ones started dancing on the grave again.
Xiaohu is not beating the gong today, he is playing the suona.
Among all kinds of musical instruments, suona is the king, it is used either to ascend to heaven or to be worshipped in the hall.
He grabbed the suona, puffed up his cheeks, and blew it at the ghost in one breath.
A burst of tiger-like energy rushed straight to the top of his head, and Gui Bo was woken up on the spot!
Tiger hahahahahaha
