One sentence was like a bolt from the blue.
Everyone present was shocked.
Xiao Yuqi had seen the real Xue Liangqi before.
That was the first time he showed his face in front of his father.
Before Xue Liangqi was recommended as the prefect of Shanhe County, the late emperor had secretly summoned Xue Liangqi to the palace for a meeting.
No one knew about that incident originally.
However, that night, Xiao Yuqi happened to be in the late emperor's room.
Through the screen, he saw Xue Liangqi's face clearly.
It's not the one in front of you at all.
However, this face is also extremely familiar.
...
...
Xiao Yuqi narrowed his eyes and thought hard for a while.
"Who are you……"
Xue Liangqi didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something else, but his whole body began to twitch and white foam came out of the corners of his mouth.
Until he clearly heard the three words "Situ Lang" uttered by Xiao Yuqi.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Drag him away, don't let him die!"
At the command, Situ Lang was dragged away like a dead dog.
Xu Nianhua was the only one left in the hall.
He was tied up and forced to kneel in front of Xiao Yuqi.
He seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock.
Xu Nianhua never imagined that the prefect Xue Liangqi, to whom he had been loyal for many years, would suddenly change into Situ Lang.
The rag stuffed in his mouth was violently torn away.
"No...I don't know anything!"
Xu Nianhua shook his head in horror, "Your Majesty, I really don't know anything!"
"I don't know?"
Xiao Yuqi opened his thin lips slightly.
Eye contact!
Zuo Ying put a knife on Xu Nianhua's neck.
"The murderer who slaughtered your entire family was standing in front of you, but you didn't even recognize him. Instead, you served him loyally for several years. Xu Nianhua, you are truly pathetic!"
Every word was like a steel needle, piercing his chest.
All the color disappeared from Xu Nianhua's face.
The look he gave Zuo Ying was full of disbelief.
This shocked him even more than finding out that Xue Liangqi was Situ Lang.
"How...how could it be?"
The person who slaughtered his entire family was clearly...
Xu Nianhua set his sights on Xiao Yuqi.
"You are talking nonsense! You are lying to me just to get news about the North from me!"
"Lie to you? Is it necessary?"
Zuo Ying said, "Your father was originally the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Xu Nuo. He was blamed by the late emperor for failing to treat the late crown prince, and was thrown into the Heavenly Prison. Your entire family was also held accountable. This is all you know, right?"
That's right.
Xu Nianhua knew all these things.
Therefore, he has always hated the Tianyu royal family.
I hate the Xiao family to the core.
He is the only remaining bloodline of the Xu family, and he carries the lives of one hundred and eighty-nine members of the Xu family on his shoulders.
"But you don't know that the late emperor was kind and benevolent. After the late crown prince was buried, the late emperor had already drafted an edict of innocence for Lord Xu. However, before the late emperor's edict was issued, Lord Xu was killed in prison by a cup of poisoned wine!"
"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"
He would never believe that there was any hidden story behind his father's death and the extermination of the entire family.
So, what is the value of his hatred over the years?
"Why should I talk about this? Back then, my father had already put Lord Xu in prison. If someone really wanted to kill Lord Xu, he could have just executed him in the autumn. Why did he have to send someone to execute Lord Xu secretly?"
It's totally unnecessary.
"But...but Situ Lang..."
"Situ Lang is the late crown prince's uncle. When the late crown prince died, his first reaction was not to be sad, but to kill your father to silence him. You didn't know the reason back then, but do you really still not know it now?"
boom!
It's like a bright light that completely illuminates the darkness.
All the filth hidden in the dark was exposed before his eyes.
But only a moment.
Things that were previously incomprehensible become exceptionally clear.
Why was the Xu family murdered before the verdict of his father's case came out?
If his personal servant had not assumed his identity and bought him time to escape, he would never have been able to escape from the Xu family.
At that time, Xue Liangqi happened to go to the northern border and was ordered to serve as the prefect of Shanhe County.
With a heart full of hatred, Xu Nianhua mixed into Xue Liangqi's entourage.
From beginning to end, no one had ever discovered it.
Originally, he thought he had hidden it very well.
He never expected that, in the end, he would be the turtle caught in the jar.
He walked into the trap and fell into the hands of the murderer of his father.
Yes.
That year, the former crown prince died of illness.
The Situ family’s years of hard work were burned to ashes.
As Prince Duan and Prince Rui were fighting each other, Situ Jia retired from the court and disappeared from the public eye.
So, that's how it is.
If Xue Liangqi was Situ Lang.
The late crown prince’s uncle.
Then, over at Maoer Mountain...
Xu Nianhua didn't dare to think too much about it.
Zhou You also knows this?
Together, they kept him alone in the dark?
But why?
The entire Xu family was wiped out.
He was left alone.
It would be easier for Situ Lang to kill him than to crush an ant.
Why, he didn't do that?
"As Lord Xu's eldest son, Xu Nianhua, you should know better than me what the Xu family has!"
Xu Nianhua pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuqi was playing with the teacup on the table, and seemed to be very patient. He gave him time to think through the whole story and the choice he would make in the end.
Xu Nianhua has not yet come back to his senses.
Someone came quickly to report outside the door.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Some people have gathered in Caishikou to cause trouble and beat up officers and soldiers. This is a serious matter. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
"Beating officers and soldiers?"
Xiao Yuqi put the teacup back on the table with a bang.
He flicked his long sleeves and hurried out the door.
The night deepens.
The long streets were deserted.
Zuo Ying brought two teams of elite soldiers, surrounding Xiao Yuqi from the front and back, to closely protect his safety.
Afraid of making the slightest mistake.
at the same time.
Su Jianyue sat up in shock from his dying illness.
“It’s over!”
She held her mobile phone, and the content of the video "The Legend of Tianyu" changed again.
"In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanhui, Emperor Zunsu secretly went to the northern border to deal with the disaster. A miracle came from heaven and saved the people from the disaster. For a time, Emperor Zunsu's reputation soared, and the people of the northern border worshipped him as the son of God, blessing all people!"
Commentary: Up to this point, the content is developing in a good direction.
Su Jianyue's smile had just begun to appear when she was stunned by the next words.
"Emperor Zunsu drafted disaster relief clauses and suggested that the people migrate south on a large scale. However, some people made a big fuss about this and provoked civil unrest on the day the notice was posted. Emperor Zunsu went to quell the unrest, but in the chaos, he was ambushed and stabbed several times. He narrowly escaped death and suffered a serious leg disease..."
How could Su Jianyue sit still?
She immediately dropped her phone and rolled into Xiao Yuqi's bedroom without even having time to change her clothes.
I want to tell him about this.
Once past, the room was empty.
There was a faint sound of footsteps coming and going outside the door.
The soldiers squatting outside the gate whispered to each other: "What's the fuss? They don't even think about it. If they all stay here, how big is Jing County? How can it accommodate so many people?"
"They are all ignorant people. They don't understand the truth! Anyway, Your Majesty has passed by. They should listen to what Your Majesty says!"
Su Jianyue's heart skipped a beat.
Already... passed?
