Abandoned Emperor of Transmigration

Chapter 73 [The real reason]

Xuan Le's expression was unpredictable, she stared at the little mother-in-law's face for a while and asked, "How do you know that I'm here to ask about Yumei Pavilion?"

The little mother-in-law's face froze, but she quickly regained her composure, and said slowly: "Yumei Pavilion has been taken care of by this old man for many years. The emperor came here suddenly. I can only think that it is because of Yumei Pavilion."

It doesn't seem wrong to say so, but Xuan Le is keenly aware of what the little mother-in-law is hiding.

"I heard that my mother-in-law has been in poor health for the past two years, so she failed to take care of the Yumei Pavilion in time." Xuan Le took the tea from the little girl in the room, waved her away, and asked Gu Rong to close the door.

The little mother-in-law nodded, "I'm old and I can't move my body very much. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Gu went to Yumei Pavilion today because of some things." Xuan Le intentionally blurred his words, "The study is fairly clean, but it was originally a disused place, so it's hard for you to miss it."

The little mother-in-law didn't understand Xuan Le's meaning, and became a little nervous, "The study... Madam Yumei used to like to sit in the study and write and draw, but such a big Yumeige old man couldn't do it alone, so at least she can make sure that the study is like your mother's." As in time."

"It's been a long time since Yumei passed away, but the study is still kept as it was when she was there?" Xuan Le looked at her.

"...Yes." The little mother-in-law said: "Your Majesty used to treat me very well, but I just... tried my best."

"Presumably that Yumei didn't treat you very well, but treated you very, very well." Xuan Le put down her teacup, her expression showing a bit of coldness, "You will not only clean the study for her, but also often sit at the desk and miss her Is she still there?"

The little mother-in-law was shocked when she heard the words.She is old, and her mind is not as bright as before. In addition, she feels that she is about to die soon, and those feelings that have been buried in her heart for many years have begun to become fragile and shaken. Now that Xuan Le said this, she immediately wanted to quit up.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The little mother-in-law struggled to get up, trembling all over, and tears welled up in her eyes, "The old man and the empress have always had a pure master-servant relationship. It has nothing to do with it at all! The empress has been in love with the late Emperor for many years, but she couldn't even enter the emperor's tomb at the end of her life...the empress...the empress..."

Speaking of later, the little mother-in-law was full of grievances, as if the person who was wronged by the first emperor was not Yumei, but her.She was crying out of breath, and her hoarse voice brought out a strong taste of sorrow, which was enough to move the listener.

Xuan Le never expected that the situation would develop like this, he looked at the little mother-in-law with some surprise, and after a moment, he stretched out his hand to help her up.

"Gu didn't plan to blame you." He let the little mother-in-law sit down and covered her with the quilt again, "nor did he intend to pursue the matter of Empress Yumei."

Could it be that the affair between her and Yumei was discovered?The little mother-in-law was startled, and stared blankly at the emperor, what did the emperor come for?

"I just want to ask you one thing." Xuan Le looked at her tearful eyes, and said, "What kind of news did Yumei come to inquire about back then, and how was it used by the late emperor? The silk script of the country's coat of arms?"

If it's just pure frustration, it doesn't matter if you leave a volume of stories behind, but why hide it so deeply?It also specially left the logo of Yu State, which is really puzzling.

More importantly, after Yu Ziwen saw the sign, something was obviously wrong.He should know something hidden.

Only then did the little mother-in-law understand Xuan Le's purpose for coming here. She was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Xuan Le to know about it.

"The first emperor... once said that this matter caused it to sink into the ground with Yumei, and there is no need for a fourth person to know about it."

fourth person?Counting Yumei herself, plus the emperor and the little mother-in-law, there are exactly three people.

"It seems that you know about this matter." Xuan Le said: "The late emperor has passed away for many years, and this matter is now up to Gu to decide. Whatever you know, tell Gu alone, and there must be no one. hide."

The little mother-in-law was a little hesitant, Xuan Le raised an eyebrow, "If what you say satisfies Gu, I will promise you one thing."

The little mother-in-law was stunned, a little panicked, "Anything...is okay?"

"Anything is fine." Xuan Le nodded.

This is obviously a huge temptation. For a dying person, there is nothing human in this world for her to worry about. The only thing she can never forget is the person who left her early.

"If, if what I wish is against morality, what about the rules of the royal family?" The little mother-in-law pinched the corner of the quilt nervously, and her wrinkled face seemed to have the shyness of a girl many years ago.

Xuan Le smiled, "It's nothing if I say anything, once a word is said, it's hard to follow."

The little mother-in-law's eyes lit up with excitement, and the dead energy in her body suddenly had the illusion of being revived.

She stroked her train of thought, and quickly said: "Miss Yumei was married from Yu Guoyuan. At that time, the first emperor had already made the crown prince, and Emperor Xuanming was already old, and he was about to hand over the throne to him."

"Not long after the first emperor took the throne, the kingdoms of Yu and Jing broke up with the kingdom of Xuan successively, and the status of Empress Yumei, who came as a marriage, became embarrassing, but the emperor always loved her very much, so she was never bullied in the harem. The empress is very beautiful and has a good temperament, even the daughters of the princes and nobles in Xuan Kingdom can't compare to her, she can sing and dance, is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also do some simple kung fu."

"But such an empress has a secret." The little mother-in-law paused, narrowed her eyes in the memory, and said with a sigh: "She is always unhappy, even though she has obtained something that others dream of, she can't always be happy. Gradually, the old man discovered that there was a secret hidden in the empress's heart that she could not tell anyone, and that secret almost made her collapse."

"The first time I knew the secret was that one day the empress served the late emperor and secretly went out while the late emperor was asleep. The old man was in charge of taking care of the empress and the late emperor that night. He was ordered not to get too close but also not to be too far away. That night the wind was so cold that people couldn't bear it, so the old man stood under the big tree behind the garden to block the wind."

"The empress didn't see the old man. Just as the old man was about to ask the empress what to order, the old man found that the empress had an uneasy expression on her face and was very nervous, as if she was looking for something. The old man became suspicious and hid in the tree. After that, there was no sound." The little mother-in-law sighed at this point, "After that, the empress took out a bamboo whistle, walked out of the courtyard and found a place where no one was around, and blew it. After a while, a training Yousu blackbird appeared in the courtyard."

"I have seen this bird many times, but I never took it to heart, but that night, I understood everything. In this palace, for various purposes, there are many people who spread the news. Some attendants will also help spread the word for their master. If it is not good, they will end up as scapegoats. The first time this old man meets someone who can drive birds to spread the word, he is shocked on the one hand and fearful on the other. The empress is Yu Guo For the person who sent it, there is only one possibility for her to act like this, and it is to deliver news for the Yu country."

Xuan Le asked: "Have you never thought of exposing her?"

"I have thought about it, but only for a moment. No one will remember or care about a person like this in the palace for the rest of my life, but the empress has always treated me well. She often said that being away from home made her lonely, but because After getting to know the old man, she felt that she still had someone to talk to, and she believed in me, she felt that I was one of the few people in the palace who she could trust."

"I don't want to betray her trust." The little mother-in-law lowered her head, "Although I'm sorry for the late Emperor, I pretended I didn't see it and kept it a secret."

"On the second day, the first emperor asked where the empress went out in the middle of the night. The empress was a little flustered, so I made up a lie." people know."

"There are a lot of people serving the empress in Yumei Pavilion. In order not to attract attention, the old man only contacts with the empress secretly. During the day, he pretends to be the same as other maids, maintaining the relationship that should be master and servant, so as to prevent the emperor from discovering our relationship. Too close, next time I want to do things for the empress, I won't be so easy to be trusted."

Xuan Le squinted her eyes, "You guys are really thoughtful."

After all, it was a matter of the enemy country's secret operations, and the little mother-in-law had clearly betrayed the Xuan country, even if Xuan Le wanted to forgive, she still felt uncomfortable, and her voice became a little colder, "Continue talking."

The little mother-in-law knew that she was wrong, and lowered her head and said: "After that, the old man will help the empress to pass the news between Yu Guo, saying that it is helping to pass it on, but in fact it is just helping to summon the black bird, and then tie the note written by the empress to it. ...until the accident happened to the empress, the old man never even took a look inside."

Xuan Le couldn't help thinking: Is it useful to deceive yourself like this?Do you think that if you don't read what is written in the note, you have not betrayed the Xuan Kingdom?He wanted to put himself on the position of innocence, but he didn't want to expose Yumei's matter. He was willing to help, but he kept a hand, and wanted to remove himself from the position of a traitor.

"A few years later, the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Jing fought." The little mother-in-law said, "It was on Mingfeng Mountain. The battle lasted for a long time. Ming Yuanze, the number one counselor of the Kingdom of Jing, was difficult to deal with. Your Majesty begged for this." Emperor Xiandi many times, but Emperor Xian remained indifferent."

Xuan Le had doubts about this matter before, upon hearing this, he immediately asked: "Mingfeng Mountain is within the territory of Xuan Kingdom, why don't we send troops?"

This is simply giving up the territory for others to fight, not to mention the loss, and he didn't even dare to speak in the end. He has never seen such a useless country.

"General Lei and people from the Ministry of War have written to the late emperor many times, but the late emperor refused." The little mother-in-law said: "My lady's entreaties were also blocked by the late emperor, until the two countries retreated, and the late emperor put the lady into limbo. Since then, no more reason.”

The little mother-in-law said: "After that, the empress was disheartened, and she told me everything after getting drunk again."

Xuan Le realized what happened to Mingfeng Mountain back then, and Yu Ziwen came to Xuan Kingdom suddenly, saying that he wanted to control Xuan Kingdom to design Jing Kingdom, and he brought Hu Rui back, etc. A series of things that always made Xuan Le feel that something was wrong The real answer will be revealed.

The little mother-in-law coughed twice, the light that burst out from her eyes gradually dimmed, the illusion of vitality disappeared, and she returned to the old man whose heart was dying.

"There is a treasure in Xuan Kingdom, which is hidden in a place that no one knows." The little mother-in-law said: "It is said that the treasure is as rich as an enemy country. Once it is found, Xuan Kingdom will be able to restore the great power of the past, and it will be able to restore Yu and Jing. Take it under his command. With this ambition, Emperor Xuanming has been ordering people to search everywhere, but they have been searching for many years, but they still have nothing, but this matter was known by Yu Guo for some reason."

"In order to inquire about the news, the State of Yu sent Yumei on the grounds of the marriage between the two countries. Emperor Xuanming knew about this a long time ago, so he told the first emperor what to do."

Although Xuan Kingdom has begun to decline in recent years, in the era of Emperor Xuanming and Emperor Xuanming's father, Emperor Xuantian, although Xuan Kingdom is gradually declining, its relationship with Yu Kingdom and Jing Kingdom is not bad, even There are also contacts between merchants and merchants, and there are also marriages between them.

The first emperor had a stubborn personality, and when he knew that Yumei was a spy, he felt revengeful. He completely forgot the mission his father entrusted to him. , confuses Yumei with what seems to be "a piece of infatuation", and lures Yumei to betray the State of Yu.

"After Yumei betrayed the State of Yu, the first emperor intentionally released the news to the State of Jing, making Jing State mistakenly think that the State of Yu was going to join forces with the State of Xuan to attack them, so they acted first and fought with the State of Yu."

"The first emperor is very smart." The little mother-in-law shook her head, "He deliberately sold out to Jing country, intending to join hands with Jing country after this matter is over, and even opened the country's gates to let Jing country pass through. That's how the battle of Mingfeng Mountain came about. As for the real intention of the late emperor, Empress Yumei only figured it out after she was thrown into the cold palace."

Xuan Le had already realized something at this time, and asked: "The treasure, the late emperor suspected that it was in Mingfeng Mountain?"

"Yes." The little mother-in-law nodded, "It is said that there are countless organs outside the treasure. If it is really there, it will lure Yu and Jing into the trap. First, it will be able to find out whether it is true or not. Huge loss, if it is not true, he has negotiated with Jing country before, as long as Yu country is resolved, Xuan country will be included under Jing country."

Xuan Le took a deep breath, "What if you didn't get the treasure?"

"The emperor should know the result of the Mingfeng Mountain battle." Gu Rong interjected, "In the end, neither side won or lost, and each retreated."

Xuan Le remembered what was explained in the system, that the then young Crown Prince Yu Ziwen saw through Jing's premeditated plot and temporarily recalled the army.

Xuan Le was stunned and said: "So the matter with Jing State...is Xuan State...repudiated?"

How can this be?Jing Guo is not a fool, how could he be taken advantage of by you!

The little mother-in-law shook her head, "At that time, Emperor Xian was very sure that the treasure was in Mingfeng Mountain, so he didn't even think about the victory or defeat of Jing Kingdom. When he found that there was no movement in Mingfeng Mountain, he did one thing."

Xuan Le couldn't help becoming nervous, "What's the matter?"

"Assassinate Ming Yuanze, the number one counselor of Jing State, and throw the blame on Yu State."

Xuan Le groaned in his heart.He suddenly realized that compared to Emperor Xuan Le's Lao Tzu, he was simply a scum!

Isn't his idea these days to make Yu Guo and Jing Guo confront each other, and play an innocent role himself?Nima, this is basically leftover from the late emperor's play! ! ! !

"Ming Yuanze was seriously injured, and the emperor of Jing State lost his mind in a fit of anger and completely tore up his face with Yu State. For so many years, the two countries have been fighting secretly, and Xuan State survived like this. When Ming Yuanze recovered , the emperor of Jing Kingdom already understood that he was put on the same side by the late emperor, but the best opportunity for negotiation was missed in the past, and he also completely turned against Yu Kingdom, so he lost the opportunity to seize Xuan Kingdom."

From then on, Xuan Le finally understood what happened, and he also fully understood Yu Ziwen's real purpose at this time.

Everything about dealing with the Jing Kingdom and recovering the Xuan Kingdom are all superficial illusions.

I'm afraid his real purpose is to investigate the treasures that the Xuan Kingdom has been unable to find.

"How could the first emperor be sure that such a thing really existed?" Xuan Le didn't know whether to laugh or not. Is such a plot like a fantasy story really possible?

"According to your mother, this is true." The little mother-in-law said: "There has been a legend in Xuanguo since ancient times, and only people in the royal family know that there is a secret place in Xuanguo, which hides countless treasures, and even Exotic beasts."

Xuan Le: "..."

He didn't want to believe it at first, and wanted to use this to laugh at Yu Ziwen, a feudal superstitious figure.But he suddenly thought of one thing.

The Great God of Traveling once said that because a certain little prince of Baihan Kingdom awakened the God Realm in ordinary time and space, and since then gods and demons have been rampant, he needs to remove this history, so he needs to change the birth of the little prince of Baihan Kingdom.

In the same period of history, if the same person does different things, the history will change.

Xuan Le's mission is to change the ending of Xuan Kingdom's destruction, even if the ending of Xuan Kingdom's destruction is delayed a little bit, everyone and everything on this line will be different, so the birth of the little prince of Bai Leng Kingdom will naturally be affected. influence, then the matter of that damned brat waking up the God Realm will change.

Wait, why are the treasures that may exist in the territory of Xuan Kingdom opened by the people of Bai Leng Kingdom?

So no matter what this treasure is, it is possible... to be real.

Xuan Le couldn't laugh anymore.
