After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Huanbi saw some evasion in his eyes, he must not want to make her worry, "Really? You can fool the emperor, but you can't fool me."

Prince Guo seemed to have his thoughts seen through. He smiled awkwardly and picked a flower from the side and pinned it above Huanbi's ear.

"So beautiful! Huanbi, whatever flowers you wear in your hair are the most beautiful!"

Huanbi pouted deliberately to look angry, "Your Highness just hinted at me and asked me out, just to talk about this?

Humph, I risked my life to come out, and even made up an excuse and lied to the young lady, thinking that the prince had something important to do. It turns out that the prince just wanted to say this. If this is the case, then I will never come out again. If others find out that I met the prince here out of thin air, it will ruin my reputation. "

As Huanbi spoke, she folded her hands together, deliberately not looking at her, and tilted her head to the side, looking puffed up and very arrogant, like a little girl acting like a spoiled child.

The prince hurriedly held Huanbi's shoulders with both hands, as if afraid that she would run away, and explained quickly: "No, I came to see you not only for this, wait a moment, I have something serious to tell you."

Huanbi looked at him puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

The prince pulled her to the lakeside and sat down, and whispered, "We've already got some clues about your grandparents' affairs, but this matter involves too many things, and I'm afraid..." The prince looked hesitant.

Huanbi asked directly, "Are you worried that this matter will involve Longkodo and the Queen Mother?"

The prince was shocked, "How did you know?"

Huanbi said: "Not only do I know that this matter is related to the Queen Mother, I also know that my grandfather's family was probably eliminated by the Queen Mother in order to protect Longkodo."

The prince was terrified when he heard what Huanbi said. How did this girl know this? She stayed in the palace all day, and everyone around her went in very late. It was impossible for her to hear about this. Moreover, few people in the entire palace knew about this. Even if someone knew, they would never tell her.

"Don't worry about how I know this, Your Majesty. Just tell me if this is what you found out."

In fact, his health had already recovered in the past few days. The reason why he was dragging his feet and refusing to see Huanbi was that he really didn't want to see her desperate look after knowing the truth.

Prince Guo lowered his head and was silent for a moment, but finally decided to tell her.

"Huanbi, this matter is indeed as you said. About ten or twenty years ago, the Bi family was still a noble family of the Baiyi people. I heard that your maternal grandfather's family was diligent and self-disciplined, respectful and humble. Not only did they manage the border in an orderly manner, but they were also very loyal to the court.

Coincidentally, it was the late emperor's birthday, and your maternal grandfather Bi Shaosong was ordered to escort the birthday gift to the capital to celebrate the late emperor's birthday. Most of the birthday gift was presented to the emperor by Baiyi officials, and some of it was given by your maternal grandfather privately as a gift to the late emperor.

The Baiyi tribe is rich in jade, jewelry, ivory and the like. Although the birthday gift consisted of only five boxes, it was priceless. Therefore, your grandfather was very careful when escorting it. In addition to the people sent by the emperor, he also specially found a local gang to be responsible for escorting it to ensure that the birthday gift could arrive at the palace safely.

Unexpectedly, just when your grandfather and his entourage were about to arrive in the capital, someone got wind of the news and intercepted them in the suburbs. No matter how Lord Bi pleaded and took out the pass card granted by the late emperor, it was of no use.

That group of people disguised themselves as bandits and stole the birthday gift. When the late emperor found out, Lord Bi and his companions were thrown into jail. The late emperor was furious and ordered an investigation. Finally, the five large boxes of birthday gift were found, but the valuables were gone.

The late emperor was furious and ordered the escorting people to be tortured severely. They wanted to torture your grandfather into confessing that it was his greed that swallowed up those valuables. However, Lord Bi was a very upright person and he would not admit to something he had not done no matter what.

Those people would not give up. They threatened Lord Bi that if he admitted it, he would die to save the Bi family. If he did not admit it, hundreds of people in the Bi family would lose their lives.

Lord Bi was helpless, as he could neither be disloyal to the Emperor nor be unjust to his family, and finally he committed suicide in prison. Before he died, he asked someone to take the button out. The button was from the day when the birthday gift was robbed. Your grandfather saw a bandit getting on a carriage, and taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, he sneaked into the carriage, trying to find out the true identity of the bandit leader, but ultimately failed. As the two of them were struggling, he pulled the button off his lapel.

At that time, Master Bi probably thought that as long as he delivered the button to his family, he would be able to find out the truth and redress his injustice in the future. However, almost 20 years have passed, and the matter is still not clear. "

When Huanbi heard this, she had already burst into tears. She couldn't help sobbing. Prince Guo took her into his arms and gently stroked her back with heartache.

After a while, Huanbi gradually stopped crying and asked, "Was the bandit leader Longkodo?"

Prince Guo remained silent and nodded slightly.

Huanbi asked again: "Most of the valuables in the birthday gift were probably taken by Longkodo, right?"

Prince Guo nodded again and said, "When he was young, Longkodo was a cynical person. Although the Tonggiya clan is a noble family, his personal ability is not outstanding. On the contrary, I heard that he spent all day lingering in wine shops and casinos.

It was just before the birthday of the late emperor, and Longkodo lost again in gambling. He had secretly given a lot of his mother's dowry as collateral, but still could not pay off his gambling debts. In order to make up for the deficit and prevent his father from blaming him, he turned his attention elsewhere.

He knew that before the birthday of the late emperor, all tribes would pay tribute with treasures, so he found a group of bandits and stationed them outside the capital every day. Perhaps Lord Bi was unlucky, so he was targeted by him, and he lost his things and his life.

After Longkodo stole the birthday gift, he took away the valuables inside. After the late emperor ordered a thorough investigation, he secretly returned the remaining items, probably because he was worried that the emperor would find out about him. "

As Prince Guo spoke, he glanced at Huanbi and found that her eyes were full of hatred. He held her hand tightly. At this moment, any words of comfort would be pale and powerless. Huanbi had waited for so long, waiting to find out why her grandfather's family had been labeled as criminals by the late emperor. Now that she heard the truth was so cruel, she must be heartbroken.

Seeing that he stopped, Huanbi wiped her tears and said, "Keep talking, I can bear it."

Prince Guo coughed twice and lowered his voice even more. "This matter could have been investigated clearly. The people sent by the late emperor had already found out that Longkodo was the one responsible. But at this time, Longkodo suddenly found Empress Xiaoyiren for help. Empress Xiaoyiren doted on this brother since he was a child, so she ordered the empress dowager, who was then Consort De, to help her brother through the difficulties.

The Queen Mother was unwilling to help at first, but Empress Xiaoyi Ren threatened the Queen Mother with the life of the Fourteenth Brother. The Queen Mother loved the Fourteenth Brother the most, so she had to help Longkodo deal with the matter. The Queen Mother hired someone to kill the Blood Dropper sent by the late Emperor to investigate, and she schemed to make your grandfather bear the crime of embezzlement and disrespect. "
