Chu Li got the news from Li Si, and waited until Xie Mingze came back with an ordinary-looking bodyguard who was still inconspicuous in the crowd.

He only brought two guards into the palace this time, Li Si didn't come back, but this guard took his place, fearing that this man was rescued during their absence.

As the king of Li, Chu Li had just won meritorious service, so no one dared to stop him.

When the carriage that King Li was riding in left and returned soon after, the guards guarding the palace gate saw that the curtain was raised and it was indeed King Li.

Chu Li found an excuse to say that he had something to see the prince, but the guards dared not stop him.

After such a toss, Li Si, who was hiding in the dark, was brought out of the palace again.

When Chu Li returned to the main courtyard, Xie Mingze had already settled him in the side room secretly. At that time, he changed the woman's appearance. Although the injury was not serious, after all the tossing, the woman's injury worsened and she developed a high fever.

When Chu Li and Li Si came back, Xie Mingze had just given her medicine.

As the door of the room opened, Xie Mingze looked back and saw that it was Chu and Li who breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Li still doesn't know who they rescued to make Xie Mingze take such a risk.

On the way, Li Si was afraid that the news would leak and the wall has ears, so he didn't dare to say much. At this time, he simply closed the door, leaving the husband and wife alone, and asked his wife to explain to the prince.

The door of the room was closed, leaving only Xie Mingze and an unconscious woman.

Chu Li stepped forward, and saw the stunning woman with her eyes closed on the sick bed with just one glance, and frowned: "Female?" Four people, now it seems, is a woman.

Xie Mingze felt guilty, but he was also confident: "This person has a special status, maybe it has something to do with you."

"It has something to do with me?" Chu Li was not angry, but looked at this woman, and couldn't help thinking, how could she bring a woman out of the palace so well, she looked so unfamiliar, and had never seen it before.

Xie Mingze guessed a thing or two along the way. After all, Emperor Chu Yin would not somehow set up such a secret room to lock people up for many years. I will think of this barbarian woman.

And the woman's gray-blue eyes are unique, and at first glance they are related to Chu Lufeng.

Chu Lufeng was the adopted son of King Lingyang back then. In addition, King Lingyang disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown, and this woman who was supposed to be Chu Lufeng's biological mother has been imprisoned for so many years. How can this woman know that King Lingyang disappeared back then? the truth.

In addition, Emperor Chu Yin asked Daoist Xiaoyao to see if Chu Li, the Ninth Prince, was his blood, but Chu Li and Emperor Chu Yin looked quite alike. It stands to reason that Emperor Chu Yin would not doubt his life experience, unless... Chu Li's biological father may be someone who looks like Emperor Chu Yin.

This person, there is probably only one Lingyang King left in this world.

And King Lingyang has been missing for more than 20 years, and he is just about the same age as Chu Li. In addition, the former queen is said to have died of "difficult childbirth". Contacting what he has learned so far, this is quite intriguing.

Xie Mingze stepped forward and lifted the woman's eyelids, revealing a pair of gray-blue eyes.

Just this pair of eyes is enough for Chu Li to understand everything.

In fact, it’s not that Chu Li has never doubted that he is not the blood of Emperor Chu Yin in recent years. After all, Emperor Chu Yin’s attitude towards him is completely opposite to that of the prince. It may not be the child of Emperor Chu Yin.

This idea was only thought of occasionally, but it was partly confirmed tonight because Emperor Chu Yin asked Taoist Xiaoyao to calculate his identity.

Chu Li stood there for a long time without opening his mouth.

Xie Mingze also felt uncomfortable, and stepped forward to hold his hand: "My lord, don't worry, maybe it's just a guess, as long as this lady wakes up, she will know what happened back then."

The former queen said that it was difficult to give birth, and the life and death of King Lingyang is still unknown. Everything in the past seems to be too coincidental, and the well-behaved King Lingyang rebelled but disappeared.

As the adopted son of King Lingyang, Chu Lufeng frequently avenged and assassinated Emperor Chu Yin for King Lingyang, but Emperor Chu Yin let him go again and again.

Now all this can be explained by seeing this barbarian woman with gray blue eyes. Chu Lufeng is just like they guessed at the beginning, and he is probably the blood of Emperor Chu Yin.

Chu Lufeng's biological mother was also this Hu woman who had been imprisoned by Emperor Chu Yin for many years.

Because women can't tell the outside world, Chu Lufeng's identity became a mystery, and for some reason he was accepted as a adopted son by King Lingyang.

Later, King Lingyang was rebelled and disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

But the woman has been imprisoned for so many years, it is very likely... the so-called rebellion may be a conspiracy.

***

It was already the next day when the woman woke up again, she slowly opened her eyes, her body was more relaxed than ever before.

Being imprisoned in a dark place for these years, she thought about committing suicide countless times, but she thought that she might be the only person in this world who could expose the evil deeds of Emperor Chu Yin back then. Even though she knew that the chance of escaping was slim, she still wanted to try. give it a try.

But she didn't expect that Emperor Chu Yin would still be interested in her after more than 20 years, so she had to resort to this trick.

After years of research, she did not cut the artery, she would not die, but would only make Emperor Chu Yin sick.

But she didn't expect this trick to save her by accident.

When she opened her eyes at this moment and saw that it was no longer a secret room without window lattices, but sunlight slowly shining in from the outside, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, wanting to touch the sunlight that had been absent for 23 years.

Tears fell down her cheeks, she cried silently, she finally escaped from that cage alive, she was finally able to tell the truth, the prince did not rebel, did not rebel... It was all set up by that wolf-hearted dog.

The door opened with a creak, and she couldn't help but look towards that place. The other party stood there against the light, unable to see his face clearly. As he approached step by step, she finally saw his face clearly.

Looking at the face that somewhat resembled her memory, she was both surprised and couldn't help being in a daze, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out.

After a long time, she couldn't help but speak in a hoarse voice, because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she spoke very slowly, almost word for word: "Save, me, the one who said yes, Ninth Prince... save me... ...Are you...the second son of...the empress...the empress?"

It took Chu Li a long time to hum.

***

Xie Mingze has been in the master bedroom next to him. He walked around the room, curious about what happened back then, but he was afraid of scaring the lady, so he could only leave Chu Li alone to ask the truth.

After all, he was not the person involved, and Chu Li has the right to know what happened back then.

It's just... Has it been too long since the lord has been in here?

Xie Mingze looked at the hourglass, it has been an hour.

Finally, when there was movement in the next room, Xie Mingze poked his head out, and saw Chu Li standing at the door of the room, half a corridor away, standing there silently, with his hands clasped, his whole body hidden in the shadows, watching some scary.

Just looking at it, Xie Mingze could feel the gloomy anger all over him.

Xie Mingze yelled inwardly that it was not good. It seems that the truth of the year was indeed not very good. Fortunately, this is the main courtyard. Usually, no one would dare to come here except Li Si. He trotted over, dragged people back to his room , when the door was closed, he coughed in a low voice, "Would your lord want some water?"

Seeing that his complexion had finally eased a lot, Chu Li just pursed his lips, said little, and shook his head slightly.

Xie Mingze pulled him onto the soft couch and let him sit down.

It was the first time he saw Chu Li like this, and he couldn't say how to comfort him, so he could only sit there with him.

I don't know how long it took, probably Chu Li finally digested those things, and then slowly said: "Do you want to know those things?"

Xie Mingze knew that even if it was the secret of the royal family, it was also a scar on Chu Li's heart. After it was uncovered, it would only drip with blood: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to." Although he was curious, he didn't want to expose Chu Li's heart. scars.

Chu Li shook his head: "Sooner or later we will know."

After all, whatever the truth is, sooner or later he will return King Lingyang's innocence.

Chu Li: "You guessed right at the beginning. Chu Lufeng is indeed the blood of Emperor Chu Yin. It was born by that lady, but she was married but abandoned. She was pointed out by thousands of people. King Lingyang, King Lingyang felt sorry for her, so he left their mother and child behind."

It's just that King Lingyang wanted to bring him back to Beijing and hand him over to his younger brother, who was also in the hands of Emperor Chu Yin who had not yet ascended the throne at that time.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chu Yin not only refused to recognize him, but used the child's resemblance to King Lingyang to frame him as the illegitimate son of King Lingyang, which made King Lingyang unable to argue.

Not only that, before King Lingyang told the truth, someone arrested the child and threatened King Lingyang. King Lingyang thought that the child was innocent and went to rescue him, but was injured.

When he came back from recuperation, he found that the lover he was in love with had become his brother's concubine.

He wanted to explain, but was blocked by assassins on the road, and he was still alive. When he tried his best to survive, he found that his father died, but his eldest son did not return to Beijing. Instead, his younger brother ascended the throne and became emperor.

When all the dust settled, he just wanted to go back to Beijing to seek the truth, but who knew he was given the title of "conspiracy and seizing the dragon chair", and he has been missing ever since.

Hearing this, Xie Mingze had an ominous premonition when he thought of the imprisoned wife: "It was said more than 20 years ago that King Lingyang disappeared after rebelling against him. Could it be that he was imprisoned by Emperor Chu Yin?"

Chu Li nodded: "Yes."

Xie Mingze: "What about now? Is King Lingyang still alive?"

Chu Li shook his head: "23 years ago, King Lingyang died." And the death was miserable.

Xie Mingze gasped. Although he knew it, he still couldn't help but sigh: "23 years ago, wasn't that the year your biological mother gave birth to you, my lord?"

Chu Li didn't know what to think, and his pupils were heavy: "At the beginning, the mother and the king of Lingyang were in love with each other. In order to win the love, Emperor Chu Yin used the kindness of the king of Lingyang to blame the king of Lingyang for being in love with the Huren woman and gave birth to him. One son. The queen mother married Emperor Chu Yin in such a muddle in despair. After giving birth to the prince, she and Emperor Chu Yin did not have much relationship, so when she learned that King Lingyang rebelled, she did not believe it. The relationship was not very good, and they treated each other as guests in the next two or three years."

"It's just that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When she was pregnant with me, she accidentally learned that King Lingyang did not fail to rebel and go missing, but was locked up by Emperor Chu Yin. She tried to find a way to see Lingyang again. King, now that I know the truth, I want to let King Lingyang go."

Xie Mingze thought that King Lingyang was dead, so he might not have escaped: "What happened next?"

Chu Li took a deep breath: "Later, when my mother let King Lingyang escape, it was discovered that Emperor Chu Yin...delayed King Lingyang in front of my mother."

Xie Mingze opened his eyes wide: Damn it!

Chu Li gritted his teeth: "In order for his mother to watch with his own eyes, he kept her from fainting. He just watched his former lover being cut into bones. At that time, his mother hated Emperor Chu Yin to the bone, so she got angry It is said that I am not his blood and blood, and after giving birth to me due to hemorrhage and dystocia, Emperor Chu Yin... didn't let anyone heal her, so he just watched her disappear. Later, after inquiring about the news, it was found that the queen mother knew that King Lingyang was imprisoned It was after she was pregnant with me that she felt that I might be his child, so she didn't kill me at that time. It's just that this thorn stuck in his heart together, and that's how everything happened later."

Xie Mingze looked at Chu Li's eyes scarlet with anger, and never thought that Emperor Chu Yin could be such a dog, robbing someone's lover, framed him for rebellion, planted his illegitimate child on someone's head, and finally left him late .

Until his death, King Lingyang was accused of treason and was reviled by thousands of people.

He even refused to treat his wife's dystocia, killed her like this, and abused the child she gave birth through hard work. This is really a beast, worse than a beast.
