Chapter 56 The Great Secret!
——The screen returns to the barracks, Xiangyue and Su Yan who are still in the tent
After a day's journey and last night's hard work on the battlefield, it was already noon, and Xiangyue couldn't bear the sleepiness, so she fell asleep on the table.

The moment Su Yang stopped his hands, he noticed Xiangyue who was sleeping next to him, and he wanted to hug her lightly.

Unexpectedly, with her sensitive nerves, she soon sensed that someone was touching her,
She slapped the opponent's face with her backhand, and when she woke up again, she saw Su Yan covering his face in pain.

All she knew was that she was being reckless, and immediately apologized, she reached out and took away the other's hand holding his face, and saw that half of the other's forehead was red with one eye.

At this time, Xiangyue felt very uncomfortable and guilty, and gently touched the reddened area of ​​the other party with her hand, and said:

"I'm sorry, it hurts, I'll call the military doctor to take a look."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to get up, but Su Yan grabbed her hand and told her to sit down.

At this time, there was some dodge in Su Wei's eyes,
It may be that the other party's gentle tone and actions just now made him a little shy, and then his tone became gentle, saying:
"It's okay, it's not a skin trauma, it will be fine later."

"Ok."

Xiangyue responded half-believingly, only then did she lower her head to realize that the other party's hand had been grabbing her and hadn't let go yet.

Su Yan looked at the other party, realized immediately, retracted his hand, and said a little nervously:
"I'm about to open the box, it's the last step."

Hear this,

Xiangyue immediately regained her spirits and excitedly said, "How long will it take for the last step?"

"Soon." After speaking, Su Wei continued to try to open the lock.

Xiangyue on the side stared closely, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, she was very curious about what she pretended to be so concealed.
-
At this time,

Rusu took her lunch and made a report, then came in and walked to Xiangyue, and said to the two of them:

"Your Majesty, Lord Su's Palace, it's time to eat, and this servant has put the lunch here."

After speaking, he put the lunch on the empty table.

Xiangyue nodded her head: "Well, Rusu, you should go eat too."

"Okay, empress." After answering, Rusu stepped back softly.
-
Xiangyue took her lunch quietly, the food in the military camp was not bad, with meat and vegetables, and soup, which was considered rich in this period.

She took a sip of the soup, "Mmmm~" she admired, then turned her head and asked Su Yan beside her in a soft voice:
"Would you like some soup first?"

At this time, Su Wei was holding the wooden box with one hand, twisting the password with the other, and when he heard the other party's voice, he just turned to look at her, and still did not leave the wooden box with his hands.

Seeing this, Xiangyue realized that she naturally picked up another bowl of soup, scooped it up with a small spoon, and fed it into the other person's mouth with her own hands.

Although Su Wei's eyes were a little dazed, his mouth accepted it naturally.

"tasty?"

Facing Xiangyue's sudden question,
He also nodded silently, and then the other party said with a smile:

"Then drink it all."

After speaking, he directly pointed the bowl at Su Bing's mouth, and poured it directly,
After a few seconds, the whole bowl of soup will be bottomed out, and Xiangyue smiled with satisfaction,

Looking at the soup around the other's mouth, she took out the handkerchief pinned to her waist, folded it twice, and wiped the corner of the other's mouth. After cleaning it, she put away the handkerchief.

But at this time the other party was completely stunned,

Seeing the opportunity, Xiangyue stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers in front of him, which made the other party recover immediately, and turned to continue with the matter in hand.

Then Xiangyue silently ate the lunch in front of her,

Not long after, a clicking sound caught her attention. She stopped the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth with the handkerchief just now, glanced at Su Bing, and then moved to the wooden box.

At this time, Su Wei let go of the hand holding the mechanism, and placed it on the top of the box, ready to open it.

On the side, Yuyue watched his actions closely.

Su Wei slowly opened the wooden box, and then he saw that there was something wrapped in golden silk inside the box.

Xiangyue got up, and Su Yang got up immediately after,
Then he watched Xiangyue lift the silk, and what he saw was an imperial edict placed in the middle, with a small box on each side.

From the moment they saw the edict on their faces, they were a little panicked, and they didn't pick it up for a long time.
Su Wei was the first to slow down God, he raised his hand calmly, reached for the imperial edict inside, picked it up steadily, and then slowly opened it.
In this way, a letter from the imperial edict,

Seeing this, Xiangyue immediately lowered her head, bent down to pick up the letter, got up and paused, and decided to take a look at the contents of the edict first.

……

After reading the two, Xiangyue's expression was heavy, while Su Yang's brows were furrowed in doubt.

But both are silent
At this time,

Su Wei reminded: "See if there is a reason in this letter?"

hear this,

Xiangyue nervously opened the letter, and read it silently with Su Yan seriously.

It can be seen that the faces of the two turned pale, and the two looked at each other at the same time, which was hard to express for a while.

The sudden sense of powerlessness in her body made Xiangyue sit down involuntarily. She was both happy and disappointed. She finally knew where her brother was, but she was not the child being protected, and even...
Su Yan also sat down right after him. He watched the other person's expression gradually become complicated and sad, and he also became a little melancholy.

The edict they read was the last edict of the first emperor, and its content generally meant that if he passed away, the eldest son, the eldest prince (Liu Moyuan), would be the new emperor.

The content of the letter did state the reason:

The first emperor knew that Empress Zhenyuan must have been murdered by someone, so he sent Prime Minister Su to investigate secretly, and learned that the truth was done by Xu, but Xu had colluded with most ministers secretly, with ulterior motives.

In the Gongcheng Mansion in the northern suburbs outside the palace, there is a son named Mo Yuan, who is actually the flesh and blood of the late Emperor and Empress Zhenyuan. It was born in that fire. When Zhenyuan was in the fire, a son was born. For Mo Yuan, named Regent.

In order to protect the child in Zhenyuan's womb, it has already been planned that as soon as it is born, it will be sent to the palace immediately.

It's just that I didn't expect that a big fire broke out outside the plan, but fortunately, the result was as usual. I wanted to take care of Xu, so I took the child back to the palace, but I didn't expect my health to deteriorate day by day..
At this time, Su Wei raised his spirits and said:
"The late emperor didn't announce the edict. He must have wanted to save the regent's life. Once Mrs. Xu knew about their existence, he would definitely kill them."

At this time, Xiangyue was already feeling uncomfortable, and her heart throbbed with pain.

Su Yan looked at it, and asked with a worried expression: "... are you okay?"

This sentence made Xiangyue work hard to restrain herself, gradually regained her composure, and said weakly:

"It turns out that was the case back then."

Then he asked deliberately: "Su Kan is your father, right? The Su family ended up like this because they were loyal to the emperor. Have you hated it?"

Su Bing put down the edict in his hand and said:

"Father once told me that he hoped that I would complete for him what he had never accomplished before he was alive, so that he could live up to the late Emperor Long En. All these years, I have never understood what my father meant. Until now, I understand , is both the late emperor's last edict and father's last wish, and must be fulfilled at all costs."

After hearing this, Xiangyue smiled lightly:
"I thought the first emperor would ignore Zhenyuan's death, but I never thought that the truth is so. He was a good monarch."

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled,
This smile is gentle and heavy, and the other is calm and firm.

In fact, Su Wei looked at the person in front of him, and suspicion kept floating in his heart!Why is she so obsessed with this matter?What does it have to do with what happened back then?
With these doubts, I still trust her extremely in my heart!
