All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Shen Lingxi turned her eyes in surprise, she never expected that King An would react so strongly to this matter.

Not only him, Yuzhu next to him was hesitant to speak, and his expression was also very obscure.

As for the eldest princess in the hall, apart from anger and hatred, there was more confusion on her face.

She still couldn't figure out why she was pushed to death by the Zhao family.

The eldest princess looked at Chu Yan who was always calm, "You already guessed that it was the Zhao family?"

"The Zhao family must get rid of me if they want to clear the way for Concubine Zhao's son. It's not difficult to guess."

Putting down the teacup, Chu Yan seemed to be used to such things for a long time, and said casually: "It's just that if the embroidered clothes envoy hadn't eradicated the old nest of Yinyue Pavilion and found it in the palace, the matter of Yuzhu would not have been revealed, and it would have No one will discover the ice cellar in the East Palace, their plan will not fail so quickly, and maybe my aunt will not be pushed out by them to fight me, so she will not have to die."

Mu Huai'an asked puzzledly: "Yinyue Pavilion is for collecting embroidered handkerchiefs, and Yuzhu is behind the scenes. Could it be that Yuzhu is also related to Duke Wei's mansion? What exactly are they going to collect embroidered handkerchiefs?"

Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess.

This is also the reason why he is sitting here tonight, and he doesn't know the mystery.

Shen Lingxi was even more puzzled.

When mentioning Polygonatum odoratum, the eldest princess looked slightly gloomy, and her eyes were filled with water again.

"That kid Yuzhu is indifferent and pure by nature, he will never do such a thing, he is just a scapegoat who died innocently and tragically."

She glanced around the faces of the three of them, stood up, and took out an embroidered handkerchief the size of a palm from the brocade box beside the bed.

Shen Lingxi could tell at a glance that the embroidered handkerchief, like the previous two pieces, was a fragment cut from "Landscapes of Yunguo".

The eldest princess stroked the pattern on the embroidered handkerchief, "Liulang should know that when the Yun Kingdom was broken, Emperor Li of the Yun Kingdom used the life of the little princess of the Yun Kingdom as a human sacrifice before his death, cursing the royal family of the Chu family to have no successors." People, all the crown princes will die badly."

Chu Yan seemed to think of the scene at that time, his brows furrowed deeply, and his eyes darkened, "Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring. A beast like Emperor Li is useless to be a father. What he says is nonsense and cannot be trusted."

He seldom shows his emotions in front of people, and saying these words at this moment is enough to show his disgust for this matter.

Shen Lingxi's heart was also pulled hard.

She lowered her eyes lightly, hiding the sudden tears from the corners of her eyes, and swallowed the bitterness welling up from her heart to her throat.

After so many years, she thought that she could face it calmly after hearing what happened back then.

Unexpectedly, it was not so easy.

The eldest princess sighed faintly, "Father Huang didn't believe it, but not long after that, Brother Da Huang died suddenly. Although the East Palace found out Yun Liangdi's thing that suppressed him. But some people said that Brother Da Huang died suddenly." His death was caused by Emperor Li's curse before his death, after all, the little princess who died as a human sacrifice was the saint of Yun Kingdom."

"So, my father secretly sent people to Yunjiang to find a way to break the curse. Later, I learned that the "Landscape Picture of Yunguo" that Yun Liangdi married as a dowry was embroidered by the mother of the little princess of Yunguo. Undo the curse."

"It's just that the embroidered picture was lost as early as the day when the elder brother died suddenly. My father ordered people to search for it secretly, but the embroidered picture could not be found. However, Liu Lang, as the crown prince, seemed not to be affected by this curse, so the matter was left alone. My father Before you die, tell the emperor about this matter, and tell the emperor that after a hundred years, it must be passed on to Liulang, so as to ensure the continuity of the Chu family's royal heirs."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, a mockery flashed in his eyes.

This is true, one dares to say, and the other dares to believe.

The so-called curse was just her scumbag father's stubborn mouth before he died.

The embroidered picture that the little aunt married as a dowry was just a dead thing that the mother gave to the little aunt before her death to comfort her homesickness after she married far away.

I didn't expect to be endowed with such a meaning in Da Zhou.

It's no wonder that in just five years, even the fragments of this embroidery picture can kill people.

Chu Yan also raised his eyebrows, with surprise in his eyes.

If the eldest princess hadn't told these secrets, even he would have been kept in the dark.

But soon, the surprise in Chu Yan's eyes was replaced by absurdity, "So the Zhao family secretly collected this embroidered picture to break the 'curse' of Emperor Li, so that Concubine Zhao's son can become the crown prince alive?"

"That's right." The eldest princess's eyes were unclear, "After the emperor ascended the throne, he repeatedly had the idea of ​​establishing another prince. The son he wanted to establish would die suddenly. King Wei, King Jin, and King An all It is a strange death, only you are still living in the position of prince."

"Brother Huang lost his beloved son one after another, and he became more and more convinced that this was caused by Emperor Li's curse. In the past two years, he has stopped thinking about setting up another prince. If the Zhao family wants Concubine Zhao's son to be on the throne, the emperor must first let the emperor take the throne. I believe that this only young son will not follow in the footsteps of the previous three princes."

Mu Huai'an's face showed a look of surprise, "That's why they secretly collected embroidered handkerchiefs. As long as they restore the "Yunguo Landscape Map", they can convince the emperor that the curse will be broken. In this way, to the emperor's grandson Start by helping Concubine Zhao's son become the heir apparent."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lingxi suddenly thought of Shen Lianglai.

The concept of longevity is related to Wei Guogong's concubine, presumably Shen Liangding learned about the Zhao family's secret collection of embroidered handkerchiefs through this relationship.

The ancestor of the Shen family had an embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and Shen Liang not only wanted to hand over the embroidered handkerchief, but also wanted to collect more embroidered handkerchiefs for the Zhao family.

In this way, when Concubine Zhao's son successfully ascended to the position of crown prince, he will have the merit of being a dragon.

This is his "climbing the ladder".

It's really beautiful.

At this point, Shen Lingxi also fully understood what the Zhao family was playing.

Collecting embroidered handkerchiefs, breaking the curse of "the sudden death of the crown prince", making the emperor believe that there will be no more problems when his son is appointed as the crown prince, and helping the youngest son to the throne is one of them.

Secretly laying out a suspected "witch curse" in the ice cellar of the East Palace, and when the time is right, make public the fact that Emperor Yun Liang is still alive, and use it as a sharp weapon to attack Chu Yan, is the second.

These two plans go hand in hand, and the shortest is three to five years, and the longest is seven or eight years, and things will be accomplished. By then, Concubine Zhao's son will also grow up.

However, she broke through the embroidered handkerchief by accident, and cooperated with the embroidered clothes envoy to take over Yinyue Pavilion's lair, which led to the early revelation of the matter.

When the embroidered clothes envoy checked into the palace, they had no choice but to push Yuzhu to be a scapegoat.

But since Yu Zhu died, this matter should be settled here.

However, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they lured the eldest princess to send a maidservant to the ice cellar to investigate, and were captured by Chu Yan.

Chu Yan came to the eldest princess's mansion to confront her because of the matter of the maidservant, and this is where today's situation comes from.

The eldest princess is the emperor's younger sister, and is favored by the emperor. For the Zhao family, it is a help rather than a hindrance.

Why are they so impatient, pushing the princess to fight Chu Yan to the death?

Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan could naturally think of any doubts that Shen Lingxi could think of.

Chu Yan seemed to think of something, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

He raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess, with piercing eyes: "Yuzhu's dismembered body was thrown into Prince An's mansion by a woman with strong martial arts. Does aunt know about this matter? Did aunt have anything to do with King An's death?" relation?"

The female goose has been loved by many people in her two lives, but she has no father.
