Chapter 87
When Ye Qingshuang heard those three words, her complexion changed suddenly, but she still suppressed her emotions and tried her best to calm down: "Back then, what exactly happened?"

Qi Yuanxiu was laughing there again, the laughter was rough and unpleasant, but it sounded like crying when listened carefully, and it took a long time before it stopped.

"Young brother, who do you think is the murderer behind the scenes?"

"Is it the concubine from back then?" She asked coldly.

"Naive..." Qi Yuanxiu coughed and laughed, out of breath: "It's the emperor."

A thick layer of dark clouds floated from the sky to cover the moonlight, and it was pitch black in front of my eyes.

Ye Qingshuang blinked inconceivably in the darkness, and was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Jin Xi extremely favored by the late emperor?"

"Hehe, a friend came from afar, let's go into the house to chat."

After saying that, the well-trained shadow guards had already lit up the room behind Old King Heng, and hundreds of candles illuminated the room brightly.

As soon as Ye Qingshuang entered the room, she saw paintings hanging all over the walls, all of which were Jinxi.

Is he really...

"Really..." Qi Yuanxiu suddenly said, "I loved her, but it's not the real her."

Ye Qingshuang turned around and looked at Qi Yuanxiu, with so many thoughts piled up, it was hard to ask.

Qi Yuanxiu chuckled dumbly: "Young brother, you are still so cute, I will tell you from the beginning."

"Twenty years ago, the queen had a dystocia, and the princess she gave birth to was stillborn."

stillbirth? !
This first sentence stunned Ye Qingshuang and Lin Yuan.

"The emperor was worried that the empress would not be able to bear it if she knew the truth, so he asked someone to find a baby girl from the people for the empress, and falsely claimed that she was a princess. The empress was very happy and survived."

"For more than ten years, the emperor and empress have cared for her with great care, and she has lived up to the emperor's grace and lived a life of vivid colors."

"She will pamper and follow whatever empress she wants, except for building a girls' school."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This has been a rule since ancient times. The emperor originally thought that she was running a women's school just to find girls of the same age to play with, so she approved it. Later, she found out that she wanted girls to stand in the court. , equally with men."

"She has challenged the authority of His Majesty the Emperor, but she still doesn't know it. The ambition she thought was lofty has never been possible."

Ye Qingshuang understood that if she was really Di Ji, she might still have a chance, but she wasn't.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor cared about the Queen, he would not allow her to seize power.

She retracted her fingers, and said coldly: "So the master who washes the ink is... the first emperor."

"Yes, she is the shadow guard raised by His Majesty, and she is the best out of thousands of people."

No wonder she said, she was never protected...

"Jin Xi's matter got bigger and bigger, His Majesty couldn't sit still, so he sent Shu Mo to assassinate him secretly."

"The royal family values ​​face very much. Even though they killed bloody things secretly, the emperor will never do anything to this daughter in the open. Instead, he loves her even more."

While talking, he suddenly changed the topic.

"Actually, I opened the Fanghua Tower. Xiaoyu met Shumo right under my nose. I knew from the beginning that Shumo was sent by the emperor."

"Jinxi is my little niece. I watched her grow up, and my affection was extraordinary. Naturally, I couldn't bear her to die like this, so I worked secretly early on to let Shumo die for Jinxi. That acquaintance was Thank you."

Ye Qingshuang listened in a daze, unable to tell whether she should be happy for Jin Xi or sad for Shu Mo.

"I arranged everything, took Xiaoyu to the palace for protection, and let Shumo do things without any worries, but no one could have imagined that when the matter came to a head, Jin Xi changed the core, which made Shumo die in vain."

"She suddenly changed her temperament. She no longer cares about women's education or political affairs. I was very relieved at the time, thinking that she had quit in spite of the difficulties and was going to be a princess in peace."

"Unexpectedly, she changed completely."

Speaking of this, Qi Yuanxiu choked up: "Seeing the grown-up little niece die without a sound, we all thought she just grew up."

"She stopped doing those things, and His Majesty then hid his murderous intentions again. It's not a big deal to like to tease people. It is true that she has reached the age of marriage, but she should never...shouldn't have said that in front of everyone. In other words, she is engaged after all."

"After that, she was grounded and escaped marriage. When I caught her in the bandit den in Jinnan, she didn't seem to recognize me at all."

"I have a close relationship with Jinxi. I am more than ten years older than her. I say she is a little niece, but in fact she is half a daughter."

"But at that time, for some reason, I suddenly felt that she was particularly attractive, like a young girl who suddenly grew into a charming woman, looking sweet and delicious... At that time, it was as if all the women in the world had died Same, I can only see her."

Qi Yuanxiu suddenly showed pain: "I clearly promised Xiaoyu to marry her as a princess, but turned around and fell in love with the fake Jinxi, regardless of shame and family affection."

"I even thought about rebelling in order to monopolize her... Xiaoyu has a strong temper, and I couldn't bear to change my mind and go crazy. I was told the real cause of Shumo's death by someone with a heart. In desperation, I burned myself clean."

"That night, when the flames blazed into the sky, I came to my senses, reined in the precipice, and confessed everything to His Majesty. I will always remember the shock, anger and shame on His Majesty's face and the cold sneer of the Empress when I confessed."

"The empress said, look at your good daughter, she won't let any man off, the emperor and prince are just her playthings."

"That remark is full of irony. No matter how stupid I am, I can understand it. It turns out that she secretly committed incest with His Majesty."

"In just one year, Jinxi's reputation has been ruined by her so much. The hateful thing is that I still love her... I can't help myself, I can't help loving her..."

"She was married far away, and there was a voice in my heart clamoring all the time: hijack the send-off team and hide her privately... In this way, she will only belong to me."

"Just when I couldn't suppress it, an old Taoist priest who wandered in the sky helped me, so that I was able to calm down and get rid of distracting thoughts."

Hearing this story, Ye Qingshuang was heartbroken.

"Shu Mo died for Jin Xi, but Jin Xi also died. What's the point of Shu Mo's death? Jin Xi died so quietly, why didn't you clean up her reputation when you knew it?"

She stared straight at Qi Yuanxiu: "As for Shuyu, have you treated her kindly?"

"A Shuang." Lin Yuan put his arm on Ye Qingshuang's shoulder.

"The matter of washing ink, according to what he said, was a foregone conclusion at that time, and there was no turning back. No one expected the matter of Jin Xi, and the matter of washing jade was his private matter, we—"

Ye Qingshuang couldn't listen, and looked at Lin Yuan coldly: "You excuse him?"

"No..." Lin Yuan looked at her weakly and pitifully: "Everything has already happened, we can't change anything."

Ye Qingshuang's nose felt sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Yes, everything has already happened, she just had a dream named Jin Xi...

But the turmoil of reality has already wiped away the remnant dream.
