Strange Tale of Qingluan

"What kind of symptoms? Tell me, maybe I can guess how much!"

"You go back to the palace to see His Majesty by yourself. Why do you want me to tell you?"

Ding Xuehou was very displeased, and directly expressed his inner emotions in front of Su Zhongming, Su Zhongming saw that he became stingy again, and also showed a little emotion, "How can I see him if he doesn't invite me? Now that you know, why do you hide it and refuse to say it? Saliva is worthless."

Ding Xuehou didn't argue with him, compromised, and blurted out, "...I heard that he was insane, and he regarded himself as a child, a woman, and a cat! It's very strange! "

Su Zhongming was shocked when he heard it, "Ah? Could it be bewitched? It looks like he was bewitched..."

"Who knows? When he was awake, he was so weak that he couldn't even lift the ink brush. The ministers had already played the memorial, asking him to give up his seat to someone else."

"Then who does His Majesty plan to appoint as his successor?"

"I don't know. If you want to pass the throne, you can only choose one of these two people. Your Majesty has no children."

"Which two people?"

Ding Xuehou stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Su Zhongming, "You and the fourth prince."

Su Zhongming was startled, and was very curious about the fourth prince, and continued to ask: "Fourth prince? But I haven't seen or heard of this person in the palace?"

"He is now guilty. He was sent out 17 years ago and wandered outside. If His Majesty really wants to pass on the throne to him, he can only forgive his previous sins and send someone to bring him back."

Su Zhongming became even more curious, "What sinful thing did he do?"

Ding Xuehou only replied lightly, "He was the one who initiated the war in Youzhou 17 years ago."

17 years ago...?

Su Zhongming became more and more interested, and smiled, "Tell me about it? Old things from the past." He added, "You know, I grew up far, far away from this land. don't understand anything."

Ding Xuehou recalled, and opened the conversation, "Speaking of it, it finally came down to a bad relationship. At that time, the lord of Wen Kingdom was Su Xueyao. He was actually not born of the queen, but secretly adopted by the then Prince Xi. Son, Princess Xiqin was afraid of offending the queen, so she replaced the stillborn baby born by the queen."

Su Zhongming listened carefully, Ding Xuehou took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued, "The next year, Princess Xi gave birth to another son, named Ruitian, who became Prince Rui, your father. "

Su Zhongming was taken aback when he heard the last half of the sentence, and said, "What's the point?"

"Don't worry." Ding Xuehou replied calmly, thought for a while, and continued: "The two brothers met in the palace, and neither of them knew that they were the same biological mother, and then they fell in love, and then the truth came out Now, Prince Rui insisted on leaving the late king, so he quietly married Princess Nian'an, who was the lowest in the Landan Kingdom and was often bullied.

Dingxuehou said, "The former king really fell for it. In a rage, Longyan sent killers into Prince Rui's mansion one night, trying to get rid of Princess Nian'an and the child in her belly, but Prince Rui knew about it one day earlier and did not want to kill her." Send someone to escort her to a safe place, and then lead the troops to the capital to find the late king, heh, in fact, the reason why Prince Rui knew the news was because the fourth prince tipped off the news, and the purpose was to let them kill each other, and he did it."

Ding Xuehou said, "Prince Rui led troops to Youzhou, and the late king personally led people there when he heard the news. As expected, their love turned into hatred, and they killed each other. The city of Youzhou was destroyed overnight, and both Prince Rui and the previous king died."

Dingxuehou said, "After the fourth prince succeeded, he was about to ascend the throne, but Princess Nian'an suddenly appeared, and his mother and concubine forced him not to allow him to ascend the throne, and invited the priests of Qingluan City to reveal his crimes, and the whole country suddenly appeared. In an uproar, the four princes were exiled abroad by the court, and his mother and concubine also wanted to kill Princess Nian'an because her son failed to ascend the throne, but she accidentally killed herself, and there was no legitimate relative in the royal family to inherit the throne , as a last resort, the officials embraced Yan's eldest son as the lord of the country."

Su Zhongming listened for a long time, but also opened his mouth in silence for a long time.

The biological father of this world is Ji!Or with your brother Luan Lun?This... this... this is April Fool's Day, right?It's okay to say, at least it's a pair of surnames, but...but, isn't the brother Luan Lun going too far?

Thinking in his heart, Su Zhongming couldn't calm down for a long time.After being silent for a while, he raised his head, looked at Ding Xuehou's calm face, and said, "You haven't told me why I wasn't born here?"

Ding Xuehou answered crisply, "You have to go back and ask your mother and concubine about this."

Well, she should know best...

Su Zhongming agreed. At this time, he was worried about one thing, and asked, "Then...well, there should be no genetic inheritance of Ji?" Ding Xuehou was puzzled when he heard it, "What is the sound of a chicken?" Yichuan?"

Su Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, and realized by himself: Oops!Such a modern term, he, who was born in ancient times, must not understand it. How about explaining it this way?

"That's...that's..." Su Zhongming frowned and thought hard, in order to let him hear clearly, he first asked a question, "What do you call two men who meet each other?" Ding Xuehou replied calmly, "Nan Wind is good for dragons and sheep." Su Zhongming immediately jumped into the topic and said: "Ji means south wind, will this hobby be inherited from the father?"

Ding Xuehou poured a cup of jasmine tea, picked up the cup, took a sip, and replied, "I don't know."

Su Zhongming stretched out his hand, grabbed another piece of wood rhinoceros cake, muttered, "I hope not..." Then he took a bite.Ding Xuehou asked him immediately, "Is it delicious?" Su Zhongming nodded, and Ding Xuehou slightly raised the corners of his lips to reveal a smile. When Su Zhongming saw it, he was slightly startled, "I've known you for so long, it's the first time I see you laugh."

If he didn't mention it, maybe he would see it kept for a longer time, as soon as he mentioned it, Ding Xuehou immediately put it away.Su Zhongming wondered, "Don't you look pretty when you smile, why are you always so stern?"

Dingxuehou just hangs down and doesn't speak.

When it was almost dusk, Ding Xuehou personally sent Su Zhongming out to the gate of the mansion. Su Zhongming got into the carriage, raised a corner of the curtain, and said to Ding Xuehou who was about to enter the mansion, "Next time I will come to your house to play. Bring the book back to you."

Ding Xuehou turned around, "No need, just ask me out."

Su Zhongming felt that something was wrong, and replied: "I'm afraid that choosing the wrong date will hinder your relationship!"

Ding Xuehou put on a straight face, "Why do you always say strange things, about falling in love?"

Su Zhongming explained to him helplessly, "It's the Boys Club!"

Ding Xuehou probably understood, and replied, "What's the matter, I wish you could get in the way."

Su Zhongming felt that his words were a little too much, and he said unhappily, "How can you treat the girl's house like this?" Immediately put down the curtain, the carriage he was riding in also started driving, and left in front of Dingxuehou's mansion. Run to Miyagi.Dingxuehou looked at the car driving away in the dust, muttered to himself, "I didn't do anything wrong", turned around, and stepped into the mansion.

As night fell, in the dark room, only one lamp was on, and there were only two men sitting face to face at the square table, their faces were hazy and unclear under the dim light of the fire.A human voice suddenly sounded, it was the voice of one of the men, "I heard that Su Shizi is back."

Soon another person answered, "I've heard it a long time ago, and it's exactly what the elders said." The first man who spoke nodded his head, "The people in Mufeng Society seem to have already started to act." The two men who spoke laughed loudly, "It's useless, it's useless, they'll just be empty-handed."

"Since Su Shizi has been brought back, should it be time for the sacrificial priest to go?"

"Don't worry, it's still far away from September. The most urgent thing is to fulfill the agreement with Shao Le. Every night I dream of those dead souls dreaming of the lingering thunder in Qingluan City. I am frightened!"

The first man who spoke nodded in agreement, but soon became worried, "But, that man has lost his memory, so can this be done?"

The second man who spoke laughed again, and replied, "It's only related to fate, and has nothing to do with amnesia. Just believe that He Mao's vision is good, and he will never be wrong."

The first man who spoke had no choice but to nod, and then stood up, "It's late, I have to go back first." The second man who spoke smiled, "Okay! I won't see Prime Minister Yi off, night Lu Hei, you have to be careful."

The man stopped talking, turned around, left the place illuminated by the light, and fell into the darkness.The rest of the men still sat leisurely at the table, picked up the folding fan placed on the desk, opened it and shook it.

At the same time, Su Zhongming, who was sitting in the bright room, really asked Shi Chaojing about the old things, and Shi Chaojing replied, "My concubine didn't know very well. At that time, I was pregnant with you for three months. One day, I asked the doctor for a pulse, and suddenly found that you were missing." Afterwards, the people in Qingluan City went around to investigate, like investigating a case."

She smiled, and then added, "By the way, your father was the lord of Qingluan City at that time. He is good at everything! He is good at playing guqin, and his martial arts are also very good. He is good at fighting with soldiers, and he is also good at government affairs. When he was going to marry Concubine Mu, Concubine Mu was really shocked because at that time, Concubine Mu had only met him once."

Su Zhongming understood, and thought to himself: Is it a lightning marriage?This...wouldn't it be unhappy?

He remembered what Li Xuan had said to him during the day—Su Ruitian had a broken relationship with the previous King Wen, and since he was broken, he would definitely not marry Princess Nian'an out of love. marriage will not be happy.
