"My father's name is Dongfang Qingran, the crown prince of the former Southern Han Dynasty. You bastard emperor, my parents are already exiled, why do you have to kill them all?"

Emperor Hui frowned.

He is old, but not confused.

Is he related to Dongfang Qingran?

Destroyed a prince of the previous dynasty who was exiled in a wild land? How could he not remember it?

He had an impression of Dongfang Qingran. This man was similar to the last emperor of Southern Tang, a talented man famous throughout the world.

But after the fall of Southern Han, some said that Dongfang Qingran was dead, some said he lived in seclusion, and some said he traveled around the world. Anyway, this person rarely appeared.

How did it become that he was killed by Emperor Hui?

Emperor Hui did not rush to deny it, but asked Dong Qin: "So, you gathered your father's old subordinates to seek revenge on me?"

"Yes! Ever since I can remember, I have forced myself to remember your name and carved three times on it every day!"

Hanako was so angry that he stepped on his broken leg. He was sweating in pain, but he didn't beg for mercy.

He struggled to continue, "I built up my own network of contacts and collected all kinds of information about Daqian. Later, I killed those who betrayed my father, cultivated my power, and waited for the opportunity to fight you to the death..."

Emperor Hui looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said, "Jingchen, is he stupid?"

Zhou Shaoyu still replied respectfully as he did when he was a cabinet elder: "If I were a son, I would keep a low profile until I was fully grown. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime! Once the sword is unsheathed, blood must be shed, and once the action is taken, it must succeed."

Emperor Hui nodded and said, "Dong Qin, I don't know who told you that I killed your parents, but I didn't kill Prince Dongfang. I even admired his talent.

Wait a little longer, and maybe I'll go play chess with your father."

Dong Qin gritted his teeth and said, "My father is upright and honest, so he would not bother to drink tea and play chess with a sinister and cunning shameless person like you!"

"Dongqin, I will say it again patiently. I don't remember having animosity with your father! I also don't remember any prince or minister of Daqian killing your father. How are you sure that I killed your parents?"

"You certainly didn't kill them openly. You gave my father's brothers and the rebel forces a chance to plot and murder my parents!"

Dongqin was in so much pain that he tried hard to keep his tone steady.

"I have hidden in my private vault the early paintings and travel notes of Prince Dongfang. There is no benefit in killing Dongfang Qingran, so why should I kill him?"

"You can tell lies all you want~" Dong Qin gritted his teeth and said, "You are a sinister villain!"

Emperor Hui pointed to the man writing furiously at the table behind the pillar and said, "He is Ling Xun, the last year's top scholar. I have transferred him from the Ministry of Works to serve as my personal recorder. He has a photographic memory and has read my past records. Let him tell you whether I have ever ordered your parents to be harmed."

Ling Xun stood up from the side of the desk. He was the number one scholar who was driven out of the court by Empress Xie some time ago. He was dressed in the green robe of a seventh-rank official, with the breeze and the bright moon.

"I have read the records of your Majesty's daily life for the past twenty years. I swear that there is absolutely no record of him murdering the Eastern Crown Prince."

Dong Qin's firm belief collapsed a little: "Impossible, my parents were killed by the Emperor Daqian..."

Emperor Hui: "I am the emperor, and my words are golden. If I kill him, I kill him. If I don't kill him, I don't kill him! I won't lie for an exiled prince!"

Dong Qin raised his head with difficulty and looked at Emperor Hui, who looked at him firmly and said, I did not lie!

What's going on with all this?

He looked at Xie Zhaozhao again, and when their eyes met his, Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were red, and he looked at him angrily and said, "You treacherous thief!"

Dong Qin and Yin Jinan are the two people she trusts the most.

No matter what, she never expected that Dongqin would rebel. The supplies for his rebellion must have been provided by her overseas routes and her material exchange center, right?

He had money and soldiers, and he took them to kill Yin Jinan, the person she trusted the most and the person whose fate she wanted to change the most.

He led his troops to set an ambush and shot her husband, the father of her child.

Hate him, and hate myself even more!!

Zhou Shaoyu looked at the frustrated and impatient Dongqin, then looked at Xie Zhaozhao who was red with hatred, and said to Dongqin: "Dongqin, let me tell you a little story?"

"Tell me!" Dong Qin really wanted to know the truth!

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Emperor Hui and said, "Father, I ask Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Yu to step aside."

Emperor Hui looked at him and sighed, "You... got it right!"

Brother and sister Xie Yu and Xie Zhaozhao walked out backwards.

As soon as he went out, Xie Zhaozhao's body went limp.

Xie Yu was also upset, but he was grateful to Zhou Shaoyu in his heart. If he knew some things he shouldn't know, he would have no way to survive.

The brother and sister stood under the corridor. In the capital city of October, everything was silent late at night. The white frost had fallen and the cold wind was biting.

*Inside the imperial study.

Zhou Shaoyu began to tell his little story.

"There was a man, full of talent, who traveled to Daqian and fell in love with a young lady at first sight. He asked the young lady's family to marry him, but the young lady's family thought that the two were not suitable and rejected him.

It happened that there was a beauty contest in the palace, and this lady was on the list. She had no choice but to enter the palace for the contest according to her family's arrangements, and she was chosen as soon as she entered.

The fate of the talented man and the beautiful woman ended here, but the talented man fell seriously ill due to lovesickness. He asked to see the lady again and then left.

The harem has always been strict. When the queen got the news, she took people to surround the two. The talented man protected the young lady and escaped, but he himself was chased by the queen.

In order to clear the young lady's name, the talented scholar immediately married the daughter of an old subordinate.

The two soon gave birth to a son, and at this point the queen could no longer find any evidence, so she dropped the accusation.

Later, the young lady learned from her family that the talented man was married and had children. She was sad and disappointed, and denounced the man for being ruthless.

A few years later, the woman learned that the man and his wife were killed, and all their property was taken away. They only had one son. The son was as smart as the talented man and could read quickly. However, because of the death of his parents and the betrayal of his relatives and old subordinates, the son of the talented man fell into a den of bandits.

The young lady suspected that the mastermind behind the murder of the talented family was the emperor or her brother from her natal family, and she hated her relatives.

He brought this boy back from the bandit's den, spent all his resources to train him and take care of him, treating him like his own son.

But she lied and told the son of the talented scholar: Your father was killed by the Daqian Emperor because he seized the treasure of your father's restoration..."

At this point in the story, not only did Dong Qin collapse, but Old Lady Xie and Xie Anfeng all collapsed to the ground, and even Emperor Hui seemed a little overwhelmed.

He didn't know how Zhou Shaoyu found out these secrets.

But he knew that the main characters and supporting characters in this story, except the dead male protagonist, were all here.

Queen Xie covered her chest with her hands, crying could no longer express her sorrow.

This story is about her and Dongfang Qingran. She is the young lady from a wealthy family!

Zhou Shaoyu's investigation was not accurate, or perhaps he did not tell the true story to save Emperor Hui's face.

She was not selected into the palace through a selection process; she was appointed Concubine Xi by Emperor Huidi’s direct imperial decree.

Little did she know that she had already fallen in love with Dongfang Qingran at first sight and they were secretly in love.

However, how could a big family like the Xie family let their eldest daughter marry an exiled prince from another country?

The label of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" is enough to wipe out the Xie clan!

The two men knelt before Old Madam Xie and begged for her help, their heads were bruised.

Madam Xie cried, "Xi'er, mother loves you, but she has to protect the whole family even more. His Majesty has issued an order. If you don't enter the palace, how can the Xie family afford to disobey the order?"

Her brother, who loved her the most, ruthlessly drove Dongfang Qingran out of Daqian, and her mother, who loved her the most, personally sent her to the sedan chair in the palace.

She entered the palace and he turned into dust.

Being heartless is not as painful as being affectionate. One inch can become thousands of strands. The world has its limits, but longing for you has no end.
