Chapter 117 Queen Wen tells the truth
A strange and incredible change occurred in Shen Miaorong's eyes.
Xiao Jinyu's question was just a guess, but Shen Miaorong's expression already told her the answer.
Although the woman's face could not be seen clearly in the dream, the woman's graceful temperament and figure were very similar to Shen Miaorong in front of her.
"If I said it wasn't me, would you believe it?"
Xiao Jinyu shook his head with a smile.
"For Empress Shen, it should not be a pleasant thing for the empress's husband to love only men, and even go so far as to defy all opinions and make him empress."
"So, do you think I framed Han Zigao deliberately to compete for favor?" Shen Miaorong sneered.
"Queen Shen is naturally not such a narrow-minded person, but what if it's because of my mother?"
"Actually, the person you are really jealous of is not Han Zigao, but my mother Xiao Luan, right?"
Two consecutive questions made Shen Miaorong finally moved.
After laughing quietly for a moment, she said: "Your mother once treated me. I regard her as a sister, and I am actually very grateful to her. In fact, when Emperor Wen was still alive, he also wanted to take her as his concubine. This matter , I am also very happy, but she is unwilling to cooperate with the Chen royal family. If it were not because she was so stubborn and refused to hand over the inheritance of Prince Zhaoming, how could it have ended like that? "
As she said that, she looked at Xiao Jinyu and smiled softly, "Your mother, she is arrogant and aloof, saying that she only wants to protect the Xiao family and pass on the cultural heritage written by Prince Zhaoming forever, so that Zhaoming Literature It is eternal and will be passed down through generations.
However, the founding of Chen State has not been long ago, and it is at a time when all kinds of wastes are being revived. If you want the economy of Jiangnan to be restored, you must implement soil destruction, and the strategy of soil destruction must be Take action against the noble family,
At that time, most of the northern gentry who came from the south had been slaughtered by Hou Jing, and the southern gentry were unwilling to make concessions. The Xiao family of Lanling, represented by your mother, was undoubtedly the best target to kill the chicken and respect the monkey.
Who made your mother, the youngest head of the Xiao family, the most powerful one, and yet she was still a little girl!
If you want to destroy a young and promising husband, it may be more difficult.
But to destroy a young lady who has not yet left the court, only one man is needed, and that is enough!
What's more, this man's influence is huge enough! "
Speaking of this, Shen Miaorong smiled sadly and said in a deep voice,
"Yes, this matter was conspired by me and Princess Yuhua, but it was also tacitly approved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Your mother is just the first step for the imperial power to show its power to the family!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but have endless anger burning in his eyes, and clenched his fists.
"In order to consolidate your imperial power, you actually framed a young lady like this, and she is also kind to your royal family. Don't you think your methods are dirty and disgusting?"
"Haha... disgusting? The battles in this world are like this. Brothers, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, sisters... Whether it is a battle for imperial power or a battle between aristocratic families, it is not like this everywhere. Where there are people, there is darkness..."
"Back then, Emperor Wen treated Chen Xu as a brother with a deep love for him, and even gave up the land of two counties to redeem him and return to his country. But what did he get in the end? What is the fate of me now, and what is the fate of my son? ?”
Shen Miaorong couldn't help but sneer and cry at the end!
Xiao Jinyu was also a little sad: Where there are people, there are shadows!
Xiao Yuan also said this!
She also had to admit that the battles and bloody battles among the emperors' families and wealthy families in ancient times were indeed like this!
"There is another reason, you may think it is more cruel..."
Shen Miaorong suddenly changed the subject again.
Xiao Jinyu looked at her and heard her say:
"Even the Xiao family's branches don't want your mother to live well. The bastard of Prince Zhaoming became the emperor of Xiliang as a puppet of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Your mother's branch But it was Prince Zhaoming who revealed his direct lineage. This undoubtedly put a thorn in the heart of the Emperor of Xiliang, declaring that he would always be an unorthodox direct descendant.
The reason why the Chen family could keep the Xiao family under construction Kang, also to put this thorn in Xiliang forever!"
Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this: Could it be that the conversation that Xiao Xian said about the guest from the Xiao family that he heard when he was a child was from Liang Guo?
"Precocious and wise, she is almost like a demon, but she is too strong and easy to break. Little lady, you should understand this truth. Your mother is indeed very good, but just because she is so good, she will be embarrassed in the world."
He is so outstanding that he cannot be tolerated in the world?
Xiao Jinyu felt a sharp and painful feeling in her heart and stopped asking any more questions.
Before leaving, I suddenly remembered something and asked casually:
"What happened to Princess Yuhua who missed Han Zigao?"
At this question, Shen Miaorong's already relaxed body suddenly stiffened.
She met Xiao Jinyu's gaze.
"Princess Yuhua?"
Shen Miaorong smiled and replied, "Princess Yuhua fell madly in love with Han Zigao, and eventually died of coughing blood. Isn't that what is recorded in the history books?" "But is this not the truth? Otherwise she would not conspire with you and design together. It’s a drama about framing my mother and Han Zigao, isn’t it?”
Facing the girl's deep and penetrating gaze, Shen Miaorong avoided her gaze.
"I can only tell you that she finally changed her appearance and got married!"
Xiao Jinyu was startled for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and a hint of coldness and clarity flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, thank you!"
After she thanked her, she turned around and walked out. Shen Miaorong's voice came from behind and said: "I'm telling you this, I just hope that your wish will come true, and it will finally happen." My wish!”
"Don't worry, Madam, Queen Liu will not harm you, she will do everything possible to protect your life!"
"That's good! I also want to see how long Chen Guo can hold on before it perishes?"
When she mentioned the word "death", Shen Miaorong almost gritted her teeth and spat it out, with endless hatred rolling in her eyes.
Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then walked out of Wende Palace without stopping again.
"How is it? Did you get all the answers you wanted to know?" Queen Liu Jingyan asked.
Xiao Jinyu nodded.
"Yes, I got them all!"
"Thank you, Madam. If Madam has nothing else to do, I will say goodbye and go back!"
After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
Liu Jingyan actually asked: "Xiao Jinyu, are you willing to marry into my Chen family's royal family?"
Xiao Jinyu suddenly paused.
She turned back to look at Liu Jingyan, her eyes extremely cold and stern, and replied, "I don't want to!"
This was a decisive refusal without any room for negotiation.
Liu Jingyan even saw a hint of hatred and coldness in her eyes!
Looks like it won’t work!
Even if she is given such honor as the Crown Princess of the East Palace, I'm afraid this girl would disdain her!
Liu Jingyan quickly suppressed this thought in his mind. He originally wanted to lure this girl to his side with the title of Princess of the East Palace, but at this moment it was difficult to say it.
"That's all, go back!"
…
Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Xiao Jinyu walked out of Hualin Garden, passed through the second palace gate, and walked to the long corridor, when she felt something was wrong. There seemed to be an ambush around.
Suddenly an arrow shot through the air and landed in front of the two of them with a "snatch" sound. The servant was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
When Xiao Jinyu looked up again, a group of black-clothed and masked people surrounded her.
"Little lady, just surrender and follow us, lest we take action and hurt your delicate body." The leader of the man in black threatened him loudly with a high-pitched voice.
The voice seemed to be that of a eunuch, and Xiao Jinyu found it funny.
"Do you dare to carry out such a robbery in the inner garden of the palace?"
"If you don't know how to appreciate someone, don't blame us for taking action if you don't want to surrender!"
The man in black shouted fiercely, waving his hands to order the people behind him to rush forward. At this time, Xiao Jinyu shouted: "Wait a minute -"
Immediately he took out a willow leaf, held it between his lips and started playing.
Suddenly, they heard a tune like the swirling mountain wind, the tinkling of spring water, and the low voice of birds flowing out from the little lady's lips. Several people in black were dumbfounded for some reason. After a long time, After hearing the sound, I realized that I seemed to be immersed in the music. When I woke up, I found that the little lady had fled far away.
"Hurry up and chase me!"
As long as she walked through this corridor, there would be Imperial Guards on duty in front of her. Xiao Jinyu chose the direction closest to the Imperial Guards and ran towards the corner. Suddenly, a hand reached out and held her wrist, and immediately a strong force pulled her away. into a warm embrace.
