The door was pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared at the door. When he saw us, he hesitated, but Pei Yuanxiu stood up calmly: "You are here."

"Hmm."

The man nodded, slowly walked in from the door, walked to the bed and looked down at me: "Girl, do you still remember me?"

As soon as I saw the old, wrinkled face, I was stunned. I stared at him for a while, and then I said in disbelief: "Yao... Yao Lao...?"

He smiled and said: "You're fine."

"..."

I kept my stunned expression and looked up at him almost stupidly, unable to say anything.

Yao Lao!

Yao Lao is here, with Pei Yuanxiu?!

Why does he appear here? Why is he with Pei Yuanxiu? And this situation - before going to Jiangnan, even when I just learned about the rebellion in the six provinces of Jiangnan, I had guessed the situation here countless times, but nothing happened.

I thought it would be this situation.

Facing my astonished eyes, Yao Lao was not surprised at all, but he looked a little embarrassed. He turned around and said, "I'm going to give her an acupuncture. You go out first. There are a lot of important things outside."

Is this something you need to handle?"

Pei Yuanxiu stood nearby, looked at me again, and then nodded: "Yes."

After saying that, he smiled at me, turned around and walked out, closing the door.

Although it was just two short sentences, it seemed that there was already a tacit understanding that comes from being extremely familiar with each other. I kept sitting on the bedside, watching Yao Lao slowly sit on the stool beside the bed, and slowly took the medicine from his arms.

He took out a pack of silver needles and put them aside, and then carefully checked my pulse.

His fingers were rough and strong. When they were clasped on my veins, they were still as warm and calm as when we first met. However, he kept his head lowered and did not look at me. The expression on his old face was calm, but there seemed to be a faint hint of emotion.

With a sense of decadence.

I finally said: "Yao Lao..."

"Huh?"

"Why are you here?"

"My roots are originally here."

"What about him? His roots should be in the capital. Why can he take root in your place in the six provinces of Jiangnan?"

The strong hand also trembled slightly. I watched him take a deep breath, then slowly raised his head and looked at me, with a helpless and seemingly happy smile at the corner of his mouth:

"Girl, you are not easy to fool."

"..."

"Not bad."

He nodded and only said these two words. I did not say how I guessed, nor did he confirm any of my guesses, but at this time, I fully understood.

I should have thought of it earlier, or rather, I should have noticed it earlier!

Queen Yin was originally the same as Queen Zhaolie, who was sent to the palace. Yao Lao was from the Xue family. Of course he would know about Queen Yin. When he was in Huang Tianba's other courtyard, he and Pei

Yuan Hao wanted someone, and what he wanted was the crazy Queen Yin; and Queen Yin was so crazy that she refused to get close to anyone except Liu San'er, but she recognized him at a glance and followed him so obediently!

The two of them should have had antecedents and connections.

And Zhao Shuyuan! Jingxu said that she knew a secret back then, and Queen Yin took away her child and asked her to keep her mouth shut for the rest of her life. I guessed so much, but I never thought of this most terrifying point!
p>

This is the shocking secret she discovered!

Pei Yuanxiu——is the son of Yao Lao!

Just thinking about it, I suddenly felt a shiver all over my body, my hands trembled, and when I looked at Yao Lao, there was a hint of panic and uncertainty in my eyes.

Pei Yuanxiu is his son!

The former prince, the prince who was highly praised by the government and the public and had a reputation of incomparable virtue, was actually not the flesh and blood of the Supreme Emperor, but his son!

I really can't believe it, but I have to believe it. If this were not the case, why would Pei Yuanxiu have any position to be with him? I have always suspected that the person who instigated Shen Gongyi's rebellion should not be Yaolao, because doing so would be detrimental to him.

There is no benefit, but this rebellious armed force established on the south bank of the Yangtze River, if it is not Yao Lao, I can't think of another person who has such deep influence and such wide connections in Jiangnan.

Looking back now, I finally understand that because Pei Yuanxiu is his son, his starting point and approach are completely different from that of the sect’s Yao Lao. He wants to create a safe environment for his son, and even a

An ideal tomorrow!

There is also the original edict of the Supreme Emperor. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the edict is not good for Pei Yuanxiu. He is obviously already the prince and has a reputation for virtue. It is natural for him to succeed to the throne. However, Pei Ji is uncharacteristic and the edict is not good for Pei Yuanxiu.

He didn't mention a word. Not only did he mention Pei Yuanchen, the eldest son of the emperor, who was unknown to the world, but he also mentioned "the virtuous will live in him", which clearly excluded him from the succession.

And now I understand better why Queen Yin wanted to poison Pei Ji when Pei Yuanxiu was already the prince, and used various means to find the jade seal so that he could ascend the throne in advance.

I'm afraid that something happened at that time, and this secret was known to the Supreme Emperor. He was naturally unwilling to accept the throne falling on Pei Yuanxiu, who was not his own flesh and blood. But in the situation at that time, Queen Yin was indeed extremely powerful, and she couldn't understand how to tear her face apart.

, so he made such a testament.

But obviously, this did not go unnoticed by Empress Yin. Naturally, she could quickly figure out from the contents of the edict that her secret had been exposed. If she waited for Pei Yuanhao to return to Beijing, with his thunderous methods, I was afraid that the situation would be

It was even harder to control, so while Queen Yin blocked Pei Yuanhao from returning to the capital, she poisoned the Supreme Emperor, searched for the jade seal, and promoted Pei Yuanxiu to the throne.

Just...

All this is not what people want.

I have experienced everything that happened later. No matter how earth-shattering changes happened, they have long become a dusty past. It was only at this time that I vaguely understood how thrilling it was behind the huge waves I faced.<

/p>

"Yuan Xiu is my child."

When he said this, Yao Lao seemed a little heavy. He let out a long sigh, then let go of my hand and raised his head to look at me. Although he tried his best to look calm, he still felt so ashamed.

The eyes are clear at a glance.

I said softly: "This is - why?"

He sat there, thinking for a long time, and seemed to have thought a lot. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's me, I'm sorry for her."

"..."

Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to want to say anything more, so I naturally wouldn't ask any more questions, but I could more or less understand what he said.

If my guess is correct, then Queen Yin should have... also entered the palace with a special purpose, but she has feelings for Yao Lao. Maybe she can't control herself, maybe it's because of love, but

In the end, she went to Beijing and married the emperor.

I thought about it and said to Yao Lao: "Is this why I met you in the prison?"

He nodded silently: "I never knew that she gave birth to a child. I didn't learn the news until a long time later. I was so anxious that I didn't care about anything. It would be better to take her away. At least the family could be reunited; but she

She refused, and even threw me into jail in a rage, haha...that's her temper." After saying that, he smiled helplessly: "If she doesn't let go, even if I have extraordinary abilities, I can't do it.

I can't take her away."

"So, you were willing to stay in the prison. Even if Huang Tianba came to pick you up, you didn't leave."

"Not bad..."

I sighed in my heart.

At that time, I, Xu and the people around him, including Huang Tianba, all thought that he stayed in the prison to find the emperor's eldest son. Who would have thought that he stayed in the prison for Pei Yuanxiu? After the fire in Qingmei Villa, Huang Tianba

Tianba said he left the prison. I thought it was because the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son were revealed, but in fact it was just because Pei Yuanxiu and Queen Yin had already left, so he naturally had no need to stay, so he left.

A word of love can lead to a lifetime of mistakes.

It's really sighing to think that he and Queen Yin are already over 40 years old, but they are both so stubborn. They have made mistakes for half their lives.

"But I hope you won't spread the word about this matter."

Hearing him say this, I looked at Yao Lao puzzled: "Why?"

Yao Laodao said: "I did manage the business in six provinces south of the Yangtze River for several years before it became somewhat successful. However, Jiangnan is different from Xichuan. After all, there are people from the imperial court. I am not the one who makes the decision."

"..." Indeed, Jiangnan is indeed different from Xichuan, otherwise they would have established such a situation in Jiangnan long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.

Yao Lao continued: "Those people are now under my command. I don't want anything to go wrong again."

"..."

After hearing this, it would be really ridiculous to say that I still don't understand. But I can't laugh at all. The shadow that enveloped my heart when Pei Yuanxiu said that before is expanding bit by bit.

I said slowly: "Because some things can only be done legitimately by the sons of the Heavenly Family, right?"

Yao Lao looked at me silently.

I have completely understood it.

Pei Yuanxiu just said that the current world is not the time for him to call his highness, which means that one day, he will return to the Golden Palace. Establishing his own armed forces in the six provinces of Jiangnan is his first step, although he is far away

Being in the Golden Palace is indeed more difficult than the previous crown prince's, but Pei Yuanhao's forced palace gave him a reputation as a virtuous man. Now that major events in the world are becoming urgent, his uprising is justified.

However, if he is not the life story of the son of Tianjia, then this is a complete betrayal!

Even with his virtuous reputation, he cannot bear this kind of crime.

I opened my mouth somewhat hollowly, but I didn’t even know what I wanted to say. Maybe I knew it in my heart, but I couldn’t say it out loud. After a long silence, I slowly said: “What about you? You are not a sect member.
