Sheng Yunzhao went straight to the point, "Isn't there anything father wants to say to Yunzhao?"

"Say, what did you say?" Sheng Kuan felt a little guilty when she suddenly looked like she knew everything. The first thing that came to his mind was that Cang Yi had already told her everything.

Sheng Yunzhao was a little self-deprecating. Everyone thought that Sheng Kuan was a martial artist, a big boss, and one-sided.

But everyone in the world has mistaken ideas and is blinded by this appearance.

Facts have proved that no matter what kind of person, they are not stupid, so they will preconceptionally think that such people are the simplest.

"Father, I came here tonight because I hope that my father will tell me my life story without reservation."

Sheng Kuan's last bit of luck was gone when she heard this, and she knew everything.

Over the years, their Sheng family has hidden it very well.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deceive Yun Zhaodu.

Hearing Yun Zhao's words at this time and seeing her expression so solemn, Sheng Kuan had no idea that Yun Zhao's vague words were actually messing with him.

Sheng Kuan was originally caught in the conflict between the country and Enyi. At this time, his eyes couldn't help but become dazed, and he fell into long-lasting memories, and then he talked about it...

Nineteen years ago, Xirong took advantage of the fierce battle for Chu's reserve position and pressed his army against the border.

After several days of fierce disputes in the court, all parties tried to pass the buck, but no one was willing to face the enemy, fearing that their own power would be compromised and they would lose their bargaining chip.

After several days of bickering, it was finally decided that the neutral Sheng family army would go to Xiguan to fight, and they would gather troops there.

At that time, Sheng Kuan was young, vigorous and high-spirited. He only wanted to make achievements and shine on his family. He didn't think much about it, and he didn't expect the shamelessness of those in high positions.

So he took tens of thousands of Sheng family troops to Xiguan with enthusiasm.

But he underestimated the intensity of the struggle for imperial power.

After several days of desperate fighting, however, what awaited him and the Sheng family's army was a situation where they were left alone to clear the snow in front of them.

Food and grass have not arrived for a long time, and the city gate behind is closed. Tens of thousands of Sheng's troops are isolated and helpless. They have been besieged by more than 200,000 troops from Xiguan for several days. Fighting alone, the Sheng's troops are already like an ox carrying a heavy load and are exhausted.

But they would rather die on the battlefield than take a step back and become deserters.

In despair, they prepared to die with the enemy.

Among the thousands of soldiers and horses, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and everyone was red-eyed.

Sheng Kuan watched helplessly as those familiar faces fell down one by one, and then were trampled by the horses so that they were beyond recognition, not even their intact bodies were left behind.

Sheng Kuan's heart was filled with infinite coldness and grief. They could wrap their bodies in horse leather and die on the battlefield. That would be a worthy death.

But he shouldn't be so damn useless.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, reinforcements arrived, and only then did they rescue the few remaining Sheng family troops.

He thought it would be sent by the imperial court.

But Sheng Kuan discovered that it was Prince Huan and the Crown Princess!

He didn't think much about it at the time, but when he returned to Dachu, what he saw was the late emperor's accountability to the prince.

Only then did he know that Prince Huan secretly mobilized troops to resolve the Sheng family's army's difficulties.

But deploying troops privately is a taboo.

Prince Huan was therefore banned from the clan's residence.

This incident seemed to be a signal, which made several concubines who had princes ready to take advantage of the situation.

Among the concubines who gave birth to princes at that time were the current Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Queen Mother entered the palace late and gave birth to the youngest prince.

Therefore, the emperor became the youngest son of the late emperor. At that time, the emperor was still young and had no idea about the throne of his half-brother, Prince Huan.

The person who had the idea was the Queen Mother who was the concubine at the time.

It can be imagined that the battle was in full swing at that time and how complicated and intense the situation was.

After Sheng Kuan learned that Prince Huan was banned from the clan's residence for saving him and the Sheng family army, he blamed himself and went to the palace to explain to the late emperor.

However, he couldn't even enter the palace gate.

After Sheng Kuan had no choice but to kneel outside the palace for a day, the Crown Princess appeared in front of him.

The prince is a heroic woman with a straightforward temperament. She bluntly said that she had nothing to do with him. The prince privately mobilized troops and horses to support him, which was what he should do as a prince.

He even told him that this was just a game of power, and that they were the soldiers of Chu protecting their family and country, and they should receive the respect they deserve.

Although his self-blame dissipated somewhat after listening to the Crown Princess's words, what was the Crown Prince's fault?

Sheng Kuan couldn't understand that if they died and there was no one to resist foreign enemies, Xirong's army would march straight into the city, and what awaited them would be the destruction of the country.

However, Sheng Kuan never thought that that day would be the last time he saw the Crown Princess.

From that day on, a shocking conspiracy officially kicked off, and the whitewash of peace for many years was broken.

What happened next was beyond Sheng Kuan's imagination and expectations.

First, someone suggested that Prince Huan use his merits to atone for his crimes and go to Pinghai.

However, it didn't take long for the news to spread that Prince Huan had seduced the soldiers to rebel.

The late emperor was furious after hearing this, and immediately sent troops to surround Prince Huan's residence.

I don’t know whether it was someone who tipped off the news or it was just a coincidence, but the Crown Princess who was about to give birth in Liujia and several of her grandsons were not there.

This immediately confirmed the fact that Prince Huan was treasonous.

What convinced the late emperor was that someone found a letter in the secret room of Prince Huan's study indicating that Prince Huan was colluding with the remnants of the rebels.

The remnant of the rebels at that time was the late emperor's brother, King Kang.

King Kang was a particularly sensitive and intolerable existence to the late emperor.

The late emperor lost his mind and at the same time his last trust in Prince Huan.

In anger, he issued an official arrest warrant and sent many people to arrest Prince Huan. If he resisted, he would be killed without mercy.

At the same time, the late emperor ordered all ministers and cronies who were closely related to the prince to be imprisoned, including the prince's mother's family and three other clans.

Bad news came one after another. First, Prince Huan did not hesitate to use his own son to protect himself, and other ridiculous news came back one after another.

Then, Prince Huan used his five sons to shield his sword, and the news came that the five emperor's grandsons were accidentally killed one after another.

Overnight, Prince Huan's reputation was completely destroyed. Prince Huan, who had a reputation for benevolence and virtue, became a being that everyone reviled and punished.

The late emperor was even more furious and cursed Prince Huan as a beast. While deposing the prince, he went on a killing spree.

Rivers of blood flowed that day, headless corpses piled up in mountains, and the executioners were changed several times.

The thick smell of blood in the entire capital has not dissipated for several days.

Three years later, the world has changed!

"So, father is saying that I am the orphan of Prince Huan?" Sheng Yunzhao's voice was extremely difficult.

From Sheng Kuan's eloquent words, she seemed to have experienced a palace change full of conspiracies, bloody, cruel and thrilling.

Sheng Kuan was filled with pain and raised his head with some difficulty, then stood up slowly, took two steps forward, and knelt down on one knee facing Sheng Yunzhao, "Sheng Kuan has met Princess Zhaoyang. Over the years, my Sheng family has regarded itself as the elder princess. Please forgive me, princess!"
