Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 496 The So-Called Obsession

Shen Cha asked Ying Si to sit down, looked at the people who were still immersed in the play, and signaled to keep their voice down so as not to disturb them.

"Before I went to Linhuang Mansion, I thought that Yeluertu had the final say on the imperial court of the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that he had the final say. But after I went there, I found that the resistance Yeluertu faced was very strong, beyond our control. Inference. Apart from the group of young people headed by Yelulan and Yelunan who want to revitalize the court of the Liao Dynasty, and the Xiao family who has been sparing no effort to oppose the Yelu family, there are at least two hidden The forces against Yeluertu." Shen Cha stretched out his finger and shook it twice in front of Shen Haolin and Yingsi, "But it's too deep, we outsiders can't touch the root cause, and Yeluernan and the others are in it People who can't figure it out are also in the same pain as us."

"They don't know either?"

"Yeah, the actions of these people are very strange. They seem to be only targeting Yeluertu. They adopt an attitude of indifference and non-indifference to the entanglements of other people and other forces, and do their own thing wholeheartedly."

"So, you suspect that it is one of these two forces that mixed something into the tranquilizing incense?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure. We don't know what their purpose is for Yeluertu." Shen Cha spread his hands, with a helpless expression, "Yelulan and Yelunan hope that the court of the Liao Dynasty can take on a new look. There must be a new atmosphere, vitality, and not lifelessness as it is now. Xiao Fengqi hopes to return to the pinnacle of glory and realize her ambitions. But what about these people..." She tapped lightly for two Get off the table, "I always feel that their hatred came out of nowhere, and it seems that the possibility of avenging personal revenge is greater. Looking at the tricks they are using now, the purpose is to kill Yeluertu as soon as possible. The sudden sudden death and chaos, whether it will turn into a situation like Jin Guo, is not within their consideration."

"This subordinate also thinks so. They only see what is in front of them, but they don't consider the overall situation. Therefore, this subordinate guesses that one of these two forces must be composed of the maids and servants of the Liao Palace." Ying Si looked at Shen Haolin , and looked at Shen Cha again, "But one thing I don't understand very well is that Yelu Ertu actually moved into the palace only a few months ago, did their hatred come a little too suddenly?"

"What if the object of their hatred is not Yeluertu, but anyone who moved into the palace?" Shen Haolin looked at them with a smile, "Have you never considered this reason?"

"But why?" Shen Cha was puzzled, "Is it these maids and servants who treat the palace as their own private property and forbid anyone to enter? Or do they have some special feelings for the palace? Elder brother, is this a guess? A little whimsical?"

"It's really not in line with common sense, but think about it, since Yeluertu became the regent, why did the owners of the Liao Palace change so frequently? Why are their lifespans so short? Is this in line with common sense? We Before, this charge was pinned on Yeluertu, thinking that these Liao kings had moved their minds that should not have been moved, and wanted to get rid of Yeluertu and truly take control of the power of the Liao Kingdom, but Yeluertu found out , to strike first." Shen Haolin paused for a moment, "But now it seems that this is not the case, several Liao kings all died for the same reason, isn't it too coincidental?"

"It's quite a coincidence!"

Song Jue's voice rang in the ears of the three of them. Seeing them stand up and salute, he waved his hands with a smile.

"Sit down!" Song Jue also sat down cross-legged, "I heard everything you talked about just now."

"Aren't you listening to an opera?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Why is there no sound at all? When did you come here?

"I knew it when Si'er came in." Song Jue rubbed his chin and looked at Shen Cha with a smile, "Hao Lin's deduction is very reliable from my point of view."

"Your Majesty?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Has there been a similar situation in the palace?"

"Indeed, but a very strange thing happened a long time ago, probably when my great-grandfather was in power. Not long after my great-grandfather took the throne, the palace began to be haunted. I jumped into the river by myself, anyway, not a single day was safe. After many days of investigation inside and outside the palace, I finally found out that it was the ghosts created by those emeritus husbands and old maids. They stayed in the palace for too long , developed feelings for the palace, regarded it as their own home, and did not want to leave. But they are getting older, and with the new emperor ascending the throne, they must leave the palace within the stipulated time limit." Having said that, Song Jue stopped and looked at the three people sitting in front of him, "If something major happens in the palace at this time, the new emperor will still have to rely on these old people, and needs their experience to get out of the current predicament."

"So, staying in the palace forever is their goal?"

"That's right!" Song Jue smiled at Shen Cha, putting on a teachable look, "After the ghost incident came to light, there were no servants or maids in the palace who were too old. They go out of the palace, arrange their future life for them, and let them spend the rest of their lives in a normal way. Of course, this is not absolute. The two people around me are not young, but they watched me grow up , loyal to me, and will not give birth to such obsession."

"Your Majesty said so!" Shen Cha sighed softly, "So, Your Majesty also thinks that the maids and servants in the Liao Palace also don't want to leave the palace, so they simply took the palace as their own and moved everything into the palace. Is it possible to kill all the Liao kings they drove away?" She shook her head lightly, "This reason sounds strange, and it can't really convince me."

"This subordinate thinks what the general said is right. Your Majesty, the Duke of the State. If they have the energy, they might as well go out of the palace to live honestly!" Ying Si also shook his head. Yeluertu's death is all on Yeluertu's head. You can put Yeluertu's death on Yelulan, Yelunan or Xiao's family. But..." He sighed, "It is impossible for Liao to have no king. What should they do when they have no one to plant? Sooner or later, they will reveal their secrets."

"That's right, it will indeed be exposed, there is no doubt about it, but their minds should be muddling along, and it is a day to be able to stay in the palace." Shen Haolin knocked on the table, "You can think about it, first Liao Wang's death Who came up with the forced idea!"

"It's the maid by his side. She didn't close the window all night, which means the maid by his side. That maid committed suicide after the death of King Xiao Liao." Shen Cha nodded, "So that's the case, so it makes sense gone."

"Oh?" Song Jue raised an eyebrow, "Tell me!"

"Those servants and maids entered the palace at a very young age. What they learned and understood are inseparable from the palace. Once they leave this familiar environment, they will find that they The skills they possessed in the past ten years or even decades may not be enough for them to continue to live in the palace. Of course, they can choose to go to the rich and powerful to continue working as errands, but the treatment is worse than in the palace The difference is too much, and they cannot bear this gap. Therefore, instead of living in a precarious life, they should find ways to stay in the palace, even if one day their schemes are exposed and they face death, they are willing to do so."

"That's the way it is!" Song Jue patted Shadow Four, "Follow your general and study hard to see how comprehensible he is."

"In order not to live a messy life, do you want to kill? Or the king?" Ying Si shook his head, "Is this obsession too strong? Have they gone mad?"
