Chapter 111 The truth emerges(1/2)
"What did you say?" Su Lixiao frowned, pulled Wang Fugui over, and asked Chimu.
"Your Highness Li, when the old slave was still serving in the palace, he was assigned to the palace concubine Dong. Soon after, the scandal of affair with the guards in front of the palace came out of the Yuan Dynasty. Everyone in the palace was in danger and kept silent about this matter."
There are some secrets Wang Fugui wanted to be rotten in his stomach for the rest of his life.
But now he has the opportunity, and he also wants to do some meager power for His Highness Li and Empress Yuan.
After all, whether it was His Highness Li or Empress Yuan, they were kind to him, Wang Fugui, and they could not be grateful for his kindness.
"The night before the incident, the old slave was on duty in the palace of the Imperial Concubine. In the middle of the night, I saw the Imperial Concubine meet with the guard in front of the hall."
Wang Fugui was sure that the person Dong Guifei met was Li Kuan, the guard in front of the palace who had an affair with Empress Yuan.
Because when he was vigilant, Xiangxiu, the maid next to the concubine, suddenly became kind and brought him a bowl of chicken soup. Wang Fugui thought of going back to his house after the vigil was over and enjoyed slowly.
Therefore, he did not drink the chicken soup immediately. It was precisely because of this that when he was sleepy with the four eunuchs on duty, he pretended to squint his eyes to sleep in order to be lazy, and then he saw the scene of Concubine Dong meeting the guards in front of the hall.
"Your Highness Li, the other three people on duty with the old slave that day were poisoned to death by the chicken soup sent by the imperial concubine. Because I was excluded by others, the chicken soup was also taken away by them and thus escaped the disaster."
When Wang Fugui returned to his room at dawn, he saw an empty bowl, and the little eunuch who stole his chicken soup had lost his breath.
When he thought of that past, his scalp became numb and his spine became cold.
"Later, when something happened to Empress Yuan, Concubine Dong could not keep me, so she found an excuse to break my leg. She originally wanted to watch the old slave die on his own in the back mountain of the cold palace, but I was lucky and drifted out of the moat outside the palace wall."
For so many years, Wang Fugui has been living in the black market because he knew that whenever he went out and made Concubine Dong recognize him, no one could save him.
"Later, the old slave was thinking that after the incident of the Japanese yen, Concubine Dong was anxious to silence everyone on duty that day, because she must have nothing to do with the affairs of the Chinese Empress."
Wang Fugui expressed his feelings.
Su Lixiao, who was standing aside, was already so sad that he could not do anything to himself. He swung his sword directly on the pillar, and the master of the building was cut off by him.
This blow was filled with too much emotion. Xi Qingyan knew that he would not let Su Lixiao vent it, and he would be suppressed forever.
"Wang Fugui, do you dare to use your own head to guarantee that everything you said is true?"
Su Lixiao pulled back his sword and looked at him with cold light.
"Your Highness, what I said just now is true. If there is a half false statement, you can hand it over to Concubine Dong!"
Wang Fugui swore to Su Lixiao word by word.
This vow is extremely vicious to Wang Fugui.
"Okay, from today on, you will go back to Prince Li's mansion with me, or I will leave the secret guards in this black market, which road do you choose?" Su Lixiao was calm and terrifying. From this moment on, he once again became a battlefield. His Royal Highness Li was calm and calm.
"Your Highness, I want to stay in the black market. You can let your people monitor and protect me. Undercurrents are surging in the black market. If I don't stay here, it is very likely that the people below will ruin our cooperation."
In the end, Wang Fugui stayed.
Xi Qingyan accompanied Su Lixiao back to Prince Li's mansion, and Su Lixiao kept silent on the way back.
She knew that the truth about the incident of the Yuan Dynasty in Wang Fugui was a heavy blow to Su Lixiao.
Empress Yuan had an affair with others, and then thought of refuting to Your Majesty to prove her innocence, but His Majesty was so angry that he no longer believed in Empress Yuan's self-defense. In the end, Empress Yuan hanged herself by venting her ambitions.
At that time, Su Lixiao was still a child.
He went from the most noble prince to the least favored prince overnight.
Such a huge gap is not something that ordinary people can tolerate, Xi Qingyan couldn't believe that at that time
How did Li Xiao survive...
Xi Qingyan couldn't help but worry about Su Lixiaolai.
Even after they returned to Prince Li's mansion, Su Lixiao had pretended to be calm and squeezed out a smile to comfort the others.
But Xi Qingyan was still worried.
Late at night, she went to Su Lixiao's yard, but there was no Su Lixiao in the bedroom.
"Where is the Su Lixiao people?"
"Princess, Your Highness, he didn't let us get close, so he went there alone." Yun Fei pointed to the tall building in the distance in the night.
"Your Highness told me that no one of him wants to see him today..."
When Xi Qingyan heard these words, she felt heartbroken in her eyebrows.
"When Su Lixiao was unhappy in the past, he endured it alone?"
"Well, that was the case when I was at the border back then." Yun Fei nodded.
He has been with King Li for many years and has been with him for many years, but even so, he was not allowed to get close when King Li was sad.
"All your highness's worries and sadness are slowly digested by one person. The sympathy and mercy of others will embarrass Your Highness, which is something that his self-esteem does not allow."
King Li was extremely powerful, but also extremely lonely.
Yun Fei could understand that King Li was responsible for all this toughness and self-esteem alone.
"Didn't family work at this time? Su Lixiao, have you forgotten that you are not the lonely person in the past?"
Xi Qingyan frowned, picked up her skirt and walked towards the high building where Su Lixiao was.
Yunfei did not stop him.
Although he respects His Highness Li’s choice, he has always hoped that one day, someone will appear to make King Li not so lonely.
"The princess is mighty!" Yun Fei said with a smile.
"Yun Fei, I'm called being arrogant because of my favor!" Xi Qingyan also smiled and retorted arrogantly.
On the high building, Su Lixiao sat alone on the ground. He did not look at the moon or leaned on the railings to sigh, but sat alone in the dark night.
If Xi Qingyan hadn't walked in, she wouldn't have noticed it.
"Shu Lixiao..."
"You are here, Qingyan." Su Lixiao looked at the person coming clearly against the lights downstairs, and reached out to hold Xi Qingyan's hand.
Xi Qingyan let Su Lixiao hold her hand and then sat on the ground.
"Shu Lixiao, you still have me, and Xiaochen and Xiaomo, so don't hide alone and self-relieve it as before."
Xi Qingyan rubbed Su Lixiao and held her hand to comfort the other party.
"Qingyan, do you know? I have always been very upset and puzzled. I was upset with a man who had no ability to save his mother back then. How could he suddenly have an affair with the guards in front of the palace..."
Su Lixiao never took the initiative to analyze himself to anyone, because he would feel that the other party was just watching coldly and would never understand his feelings.
But Xi Qingyan is different. She is the person she loves and a relative.
"But what Wang Fugui said today finally solved my doubts. My mother did not fall in love with someone else, but was framed..."
When the truth was in front of me, Su Lixiao was angry and sad, and he felt more and more that he was too incompetent back then.
"My mother died unjustly. I, a son-in-law, did nothing for her..."
The guilt and regret in Su Lixiao's heart surged, almost submerging him directly.
"You were just a child at the beginning, Su Lixiao, how could you rescue Yuanhou in such an extremely unfavorable situation?"
Xi Qingyan held Su Lixiao's hand tightly, trying to pull him out of his guilt.
"The person who hurts Empress Yuan is Concubine Dong who sets up a conspiracy. The person who does not listen to Empress Yuan's defense is His Majesty. You are all victims, just like Empress Yuan. Don't take the blame for the crimes that do not belong to you. You did nothing wrong."
The conspiracy was directed at the mother and son of Yuanhou. Yuanhou died and Su Lixiao was sent to the frontier to die.
Such a death and serious injury ending was brought by Concubine Dong.
"Xi Qingyan..."
Su Lixiao turned around and hugged Xi Qingyan tightly. He wanted to integrate her into his bones and blood.
"I have suffered a lot in the border areas and complained about my father's inhumanity to me, but now I can only be glad about my past experience."
"If I have to go through those inhuman sufferings before I can meet you, then I am willing to endure all that."
Su Lixiao hugged Xi Qingyan tightly, as if he was hugging everything he had.
If Xi Qingyan, who was waiting for him at the end of suffering, Su Lixiao would be willing to endure the pain, because the person in his arms was too precious to him.
"Shu Lixiao, I will accompany you to witness that Concubine Dong and his son are punished as they deserve."
"Um."
Su Lixiao cheered up from his grief, and then he arranged everything with Wang Fugui in the black market.
Three days later.
The eunuchs in the palace came to the door and brought Su Lixiao into the palace.
In the Golden Palace, Concubine Dong and Su Yiting had been waiting aside for a long time, and His Majesty's expression was even more secretive.
"My son has met my father."
Su Lixiao was unmoved and bowed to His Majesty in the palace according to the rules.
His Majesty looked at Su Lixiao who was kneeling below, with disappointment and struggle in his eyes. More than ten years ago, Empress Yuan's betrayal made him disappointed. Now, he did not expect that Empress Yuan's son would disappoint him like his mother.
"Shu Lixiao, I will give you a mission, do you still remember?"
