On the day the Qi Dynasty army stormed into the imperial city, the crown prince committed suicide before the ancestral tablets.
The crown prince's final order was to let him escape, live, and enjoy his remaining years.
The Crown Prince said that he was of Sheng'an blood, but the Grand Tutor was not. The Grand Tutor had carefully taught him for more than ten years, and he treated him as a father.
He knew how much the Grand Tutor had sacrificed for him and for the country over the past few years.
He said he was sorry to have disappointed his tutor, but his only wish was that his father, who was not related to him by blood, could live a more peaceful life.
He didn't want to, he wouldn't allow it.
He was about to commit suicide with the prince when he was knocked unconscious by the prince's confidant. When he woke up again, he had already been taken out of the palace.
The country was destroyed and the family perished.
While hiding in various places, he met a palace maid named Fang Yunhua who had escaped from the chaos of the palace.
They found another abandoned baby girl on the road and named her Yuan Zhenyin.
The three of them thus formed a family and hid in a remote mountain village.
Later, a palace maid gave birth to a boy, who is now the Marquis of Dingyuan, Yuan Binpei.
This child married the baby girl they had found years ago, and gave birth to Chi Yuan's mother, Yuan Yueying.
There were times when Yuan Xu truly wanted to let go of his hatred, but when his son was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Dingyuan for his outstanding achievements, he began to have second thoughts.
He found his wife and told her his thoughts.
He was prepared for his wife to refuse and leave.
But she didn't.
She agreed.
The two left the capital and began years of planning and scheming.
In the original plot
They had already planned how everyone would die.
He ordered the person he had trained to enter the palace and become the apprentice of the humble eunuch.
They secretly drugged Chi Yuan, causing him to die suddenly.
Even the humble eunuch's mind can be manipulated, causing him to hand over a secret military report that should have been sent out by express courier.
They then joined forces with the enemy and severely injured Chi Wangshu and Chi Chang in one fell swoop.
But now, the appearance of Shen Yulou and Chi Yu'an has caught them off guard.
Shen Yulou did not die, and Shen Bijue was not immersed in the investigation of his relationship with the Prime Minister; he came into contact with the matter ahead of time.
His talent began to shine, and the truth gradually came to light under his guidance.
The discovery of Hongyu in Chi Yuan's hands also led them to find the true mechanism and effect of this drug among thousands of ancient books on drug use.
Deep inside enemy territory, their ambitions are exposed, and the plot is completely reversed.
But in any case, they didn't win.
In the past life there was Shen Bijun, in this life there is Shen Yulou, and there is Chi Yu'an.
Perhaps this is fate.
The faces of his old friends flashed before him once more, as if they were waving at him.
Yuan Xu reached out and grabbed their hands. The next second, his body choked, and he fell silent, completely dead.
Marquis Dingyuan stared at his father's corpse, no longer struggling, but the next second he fell straight down.
Fresh blood gushed from his mouth like a spring.
He bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Chi Yuan wiped the blood splattered on his face and gestured for people to dispose of their bodies properly.
Everyone has their own difficulties, but a mistake is a mistake, and Chi Yuan has no way to sympathize with the person who killed his mother.
In just a short while, the hall was clear and bright again, as if nothing had happened.
Like a mirage, leaving no trace.
soon
Shen Bijun and An Youping arrived at the main hall.
Shen Bijun handed over a memorial containing an investigation into the background of Yuan Xu's family. He was always very efficient in his work.
He sighed softly, realizing how similar his own experiences were to Yuan Xu's in his youth.
Fortunately, the Qi Dynasty did not perish, and he did not become a regent entrusted with the care of the young emperor.
He simply couldn't imagine himself becoming the next Yuan Xu.
Will he be as cruel as him?
Shen Bijue shook his head again. "Definitely not. He's very capable; he would never use such harmful methods."
"How is the situation outside the palace?" Chi Yuan took the memorial and began to read it.
