Chapter 316 I am your father
After Murong Xun came in, another figure followed closely behind.
It was the angry Wu Yingniang.
This morning, Wu Yingniang was the first one to break into the palace.
The place where she climbed in was in the opposite direction of Tingyuxuan, so she looked around there but didn't see it.
But she accidentally discovered another courtyard called Qunfangyuan.
There are many women living in Qunfang Garden.
In the morning, these women came out of the house, chatting and gathering in a group.
Wu Yingniang had been in the underworld, and she had also visited places like brothels and brothels where good and bad people mixed together.
There was nothing new under the sun, nothing that made her feel special.
But Wu Yingniang felt a little surprised when she looked at the group of women.
She actually felt that each of these women looked familiar.
In the prince's mansion, which she had never been to, there was a group of women she had never seen before who looked familiar to her.
Wu Yingniang looked carefully and pieced together Pei Xuan's face from the faces of these women.
Wu Yingniang was immediately furious.
This wimp.
Xuan'er is gone. When Xuan'er was still alive, I didn't cherish her well. Why are I looking for these women now?
Who are you trying to disgust?!
At this time, Prince Gong Murong Xun came in.
The women in the courtyard all bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Murong Xun nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across their faces one by one.
Wu Yingniang leaned on the eaves and watched with bated breath, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.
Except for the part that looks like Pei Xuan, these women each have their own characteristics, some are slender and some are plump, and some are graceful and elegant.
So many different women, at the moment Murong Xun appeared, all took out a whip from behind their backs at the same time.
Dozens of people, dozens of black whips.
They held whips, but they didn't know how to use them; the whips were just a decoration for them. The women stood in front of Murong Xun with their heads lowered, as if waiting to be chosen.
When Wu Yingniang saw this scene, she was already furious.
At this moment she felt a shadow passing over her head.
Wu Yingniang looked up and saw Abao flying by.
It was Abao who reported that Baixun should have picked up the person.
Wu Yingniang turned her head and looked in the direction of the palace. She saw that the palace was in chaos and black smoke was rising.
It's done.
Wu Yingniang was no longer lying on the roof.
Now that it's done, the dog emperor is gone, and the He family is gone, there's no need to endure today.
When she saw Pei Xuan dragging her defeated body to Lingnan, and when she saw her sworn sister die with her own eyes, she had an urge to pick up a gun and go straight to the capital to kill.
This wimp, how could he be worthy of Xuan'er!
Why does he do that!
Wu Yingniang, with her hair standing on end in anger, jumped down from the roof, snatched the whip from a woman's hand, and swung it twice.
Today, for the sake of convenience, she hadn't brought her spear. Although she had never practiced whip techniques, she had strong arms and was agile, so even with a rope she could knock down a group of defenseless people.
"Ah—there's an assassin!"
"Someone come quickly!"
"Someone wants to assassinate the prince!"
The courtyard was in chaos the moment Wu Yingniang fell.
When everyone saw a masked man falling from the sky, they knew without a doubt that it must be an assassin.
The assassin may not be able to kill the prince, but it is easy to kill these unprotected minions.
The little birds were frightened and ran back into the house to hide, each one running faster than the other.
Wu Yingniang swung the whip in her hand straight towards Murong Xun.
Several guards following Murong Xun came over to block the attack.
After a few moves, Wu Yingniang threw away the whip in her hand, picked up a long bamboo pole in the corner, held it in her hand and started fighting with them, beating them to pieces.
Murong Xun had already panicked and asked angrily:
"How dare you! Who sent you to assassinate me?"
Seeing the guards blocking his way being knocked down one by one, he became frightened and turned around to run outside.
Wu Yingniang chased after him, shouting angrily:
"I'm going to vent my anger for Xuan'er today!"
When Murong Xun heard the word "Xuan'er", his body trembled and he almost tripped.
He asked in disbelief:
"Who are you to Xuan'er?"
After so many years, someone actually came to the mansion and said he wanted to vent his anger on Xuan'er.
The bamboo pole in Wu Yingniang's hand hit Murong Xun's side. Murong Xun screamed and lay on the ground howling.
When Wu Yingniang wanted to fight again, other guards from the palace came and stopped her.
Wu Yingniang sneered:
"It doesn't matter how many people come. Today is different from the past. Today I will overturn your shitty palace!"
Even if the imperial guards outside came, she would not be afraid.
The root of the evil in the palace has been uncovered, and the capital is about to be in chaos. Who will pay attention to Prince Gong's Mansion at this time?
The blow on Murong Xun's side was so painful that he didn't have time to ask any questions.
He covered his waist and ran quickly. If he didn't run, the female assassin would probably die with him.
Murong Xun ran headfirst, while Wu Yingniang chased him while knocking down the guards.
Murong Xun ran into Tingyu Pavilion, and Wu Yingniang followed him in.
As soon as he entered the main house of Tingyuxuan, Murong Xun actually saw someone other than Rendong inside.
bright and clean.
A young girl was sitting beside the couch and a young boy was standing.
In just a moment, too many thoughts flashed through Murong Xun's mind.
Murong Xun had seen this little girl before; she was Hao Ren's daughter.
Seen it more than once.
I've seen him at the martial arts academy and at a banquet.
He knew that although this girl came from a humble background, she was beautiful, skilled in martial arts, painting, and had a strong character.
Anyone who sees a girl like this will never forget her.
Murong Xun looked at Rendong.
Honeysuckle stood on the other side of the girl, serving her tea.
Honeysuckle has been in Tingyuxuan for more than ten years.
She always faces everyone with a cold face. If anyone dares to come to Tingyuxuan, Rendong will just wave a broom to drive them out.
Murong Xun knew that Rendong was a loyal and stubborn maid who would only listen to Pei Xuan.
It was because of Rendong's loyalty to Pei Xuan that Murong Xun tolerated her cold face and let her guard Tingyuxuan.
In the more than ten years that he has been in Tingyuxuan, Rendong has never served him tea.
But now, Honeysuckle stood so gently beside the little girl, holding tea, with love in her eyes.
And the little girl was crying.
Tears fell one by one.
It's so painful to see it fall.
Murong Xun felt so much pain in his heart that he forgot the pain in his body.
He suspected that he had felt dizzy when he fell and was hallucinating.
Because he actually saw a whip tied around the girl's waist, a whip that shone golden in the sunlight.
He is an amateur in martial arts and thinks all weapons in the world look the same.
But many years ago, when he was still young and wandering around the world with Pei Xuan, he recognized the Golden Dragon Whip.
Pei Xuan asked him to clean the saddle, the whip, and to fetch her water.
When he was wiping the whip, Pei Xuan proudly told him that this was the only whip in the world.
This was specially made for her by her eldest brother. It was made of precious and rare meteorite iron, which is both tough and hard.
The handle of the whip is shaped like a water wave, which is very comfortable to hold in the hand and emits golden light when swung in the air.
During that period, Murong Xun polished the whip every day and became familiar with every line on it.
He believed what Pei Xuan said, there would not be another whip exactly like this one in the world.
There won’t be.
Murong Xun only took a glance and his heart began to tremble.
He was not mistaken. The whip around the girl's waist was Pei Xuan's golden dragon whip.
Murong Xun's eyes were bloodshot and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
Then, he remembered that this girl was the same age as Ming'er and entered the martial arts school in the same year.
Thirteen years old, born in the first year of Zhaoqing.
This thirteen-year-old girl can have Honeysuckle serve her tea, can wear a golden dragon whip around her waist, and can cry in Tingyu Pavilion.
who is she?
Who could she be?
The bowl of medicine that Pei Xuan knocked over that year appeared in front of Murong Xun's eyes.
His lips trembled as he asked who this girl was.
As soon as Murong Xun finished asking, Wu Yingniang rushed in.
Wu Yingniang was originally furious, but when she came in, she saw Zhizhi crying.
The daughter she raised since childhood cried so sadly that she couldn't make any sound.
She immediately forgot her anger and threw away the bamboo pole in her hand with a bang.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong?" Wu Yingniang pushed Murongxun aside and quickly walked over to hold Zhizhi in her arms. "Zhizhi, it's okay. Mom is here."
Wu Yingniang touched her daughter's hand and asked, "Does it hurt anywhere?"
"Mom, I'm not in pain. My mom is in pain." Su Zhizhi said to Wu Ying's mother with tears in her eyes.
Wu Yingniang paused while holding Su Zhizhi's hand, then hugged her even tighter.
Murong Xun was pushed by Wu Yingniang against the door frame. He held on to the door frame with his hands to keep his balance, with his fingertips almost digging into the gap of the door frame.
There was another sound of footsteps outside Tingyuxuan.
More guards arrived, even alarming the imperial guards guarding outside the palace.
"Your Highness, where is the assassin?" The guard was about to come in from the door.
Murong Xun turned around, his face pale:
"Get out, there are no assassins here."
The guards were stunned for a moment. They had just clearly seen an assassin with great martial arts skills knock down many people.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate..."
"Get out! Get out!" Murong Xun shouted at them, with fire in his eyes.
"I told you to get out!"
Murong Xun had never been so fierce to the people in the mansion before. He was as fierce as a mad beast.
The guards looked at each other and then retreated.
Under Murong Xun's angry gaze, they retreated several feet away from Tingyu Pavilion.
Tingyuxuan returned to peace.
Murong Xun closed the door with trembling hands.
With red eyes, he asked again in a very soft voice:
"Who are you?"
Su Zhizhi raised her head from Wu Yingniang's arms and turned to face Murong Xun.
She wiped the tears from her face and said word by word:
"I am Su Zhi. My mother named me Su Zhi, saying that I would understand people's hearts. I am my mother's daughter."
Murong Xun heard a loud crash as if mountains were collapsing.
He had a momentary tinnitus.
Su Zhi.
Yes, he always knew her name was Su Zhi.
He heard Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang calling her Zhizhi, and he was very happy.
Hao Ren told everyone in the capital that his daughter's surname was Su because Su was his family name, and he was surnamed Hao only because the family that adopted him was surnamed Hao.
It’s nothing for the next generation to return to their family name. People in the capital don’t care about the story of a country boy.
But Su Zhizhi just said that was the name her mother gave her.
Su Zhi.
Su.
Murong Xun looked at Su Zhizhi and Wu Yingniang.
They don't look alike, not at all.
Su Zhizhi was such a beautiful child, she was so good at whipping, and her eyes, as clear as a mountain stream, were so like... like...
How could she be the child of Hao Ren and his wife?
They lied, they lied to everyone.
Su Zhizhi is not their daughter, but... her child.
Murong Xun's vision became blurred and tears fell from his eyes.
Xuan'er always said he was stupid.
He is really stupid.
It now seems like such an obvious lie, but he didn't see through it.
He didn't even recognize that this was his daughter.
"Zhizhi, I... I am..." The words in Murong Xun's throat twirled between his teeth.
Su Zhizhi looked at him, and he also looked at Su Zhizhi.
They spoke at the same time:
"I am your father."
"Why are you trying to kill me?"
