Chapter 173 Too Much Information
"During that month, your father seemed to have disappeared. Your grandfather asked the late emperor to see your father several times, but the late emperor refused. It was at that time that your mother found out that she was pregnant, but because she was always worried, the fetal appearance It has been unstable, and no one in your family dared to mention your father in front of her, and they kept it secret in private. The rumors were even more unsettling, but a month later, your father returned to the house without incident. Only for him this month What did you do in the palace, but you didn't say a word."

"Afterwards, things seemed to return to the original calm. Your father was looking forward to your birth. The only time he met me, he hoped that you would be a daughter. He only talked about you. Tell me, he named you, I have prepared a place for you, as soon as I see a toy that closes my eyes, I will buy it and take it home."

Xu Jiao was stunned when he heard that, why did it seem like he was preparing for the funeral?

"Compared to your father, your uncle's talents are really mediocre. Your grandfather found him an idle official position in the army, thinking of gaining seniority. Who knows, that year, Bei Jie suddenly came to commit crimes. Great Wei It has been peaceful for many years, and the bones of the generals have been raised and used up. They were quickly captured by Bei Jie. Three cities, the vast land in the north, all fell into the enemy's hands. After successive defeats, the morale of the army was low. The late emperor had no choice. , decided to go out in person to boost morale, and to transfer some of them from the Jingwei to accompany him on the expedition.”

"My uncle." Hearing this, Xu Jiao was enlightened. His grandfather originally wanted to find a job for his incompetent elder son and let him serve in the army. Who would have expected that there would be a sudden war, and it would be so unlucky. Do you want to transfer some soldiers from the Jingwei?What's even more unlucky is that Mr. Jing was probably drawn by the lottery, right?

Sure enough, Mr. Du nodded his head, confirming Xu Jiao's guess, "That's right! Your uncle happened to be on the list of Jingwei who was transferred. The news came back to Jingfu, and it was like a bolt from the blue. Your uncle, Wen If he does not become a military force, he will not succeed. If he is to be sent to battle, it will be more or less auspicious. At that time, a pair of twins in Changfang had already been born. Just before the eve of the expedition, the twins suddenly suffered from acute illness, vomiting and diarrhea, and were in danger. Mrs. Yan was so anxious and angry that she passed out directly. I don't know how your family discussed it. I only know that your father suddenly entered the palace to ask to see the first emperor, and then the name on the expedition list changed from your uncle to your father."

Suddenly Xu Jiao's whole body turned cold, and he subconsciously glanced at He Lianshu, but the latter still had a solemn face, showing no trace of happiness or anger.Xu Jiao didn't know that her complexion had turned pale quietly, a pair of black and white eyes stared straight at Mr. Du's face, and her voice trembled slightly, "Did my father die at the hands of Beijie people?" After asking, she couldn't help but screen Hold your breath.

"No!" It was not Mr. Du who answered, but the eldest princess.She quietly looked back at Xu Jiao with a pair of eyes, "Before reaching the place where the two armies were fighting, an assassin assassinated the emperor on the road. Your father died to save you. The emperor was grateful for him and left after returning to Beijing." An imperial decree, no one is allowed to spread unbearable rumors about Mr. Jiuyi in private, otherwise, they will be punished as treason and punish the three clans."

Xu Jiao was stunned, no wonder, since the rumors at that time were unbearable, and they were so loud and unreasonable. Ten years later, everyone can't remember it.It turned out that it was all because of that imperial decree.

"This is what I know, everything about your father. In fact, I had already left Dawei at that time, and I only found out many things after I sent people to investigate many things. It is not exhaustive. As for your second wife and In the final analysis, the grievances and grievances of the long house may be due to a rumor." Mr. Du sighed softly.

besides?Xu Jiao thought that this was all there was, but didn't expect there to be more?She raised her eyes to look at Mr. Du in surprise.

Mr. Du sighed, "It is rumored that Mrs. Yan had a deep-rooted affection for your father when she was in her boudoir, but your father never pretended to her. Later, for some reason, she married your uncle."

what is this?If you don't marry me, will I be your sister-in-law?Xu Jiao's eyes widened slightly, and he was speechless. Is it such a bloody drama of love and hatred?

The room is quiet, and what should be said has been finished. Xu Jiao's impact on today's events is already big enough, and she needs time to digest.

The amount of information was too much, but Xu Jiao couldn't digest it consciously, and her heart was full of grass and mud horses. After a while, she raised her eyes and asked, "Did mother choose me to be your adopted daughter because my father saved the late emperor? "

"On the one hand, there is this reason." The Eldest Princess should be very calm, "On the other hand, it is because you have hit it off with Bengong. Bengong is not someone who will wrong himself."

Xu Jiao nodded, expressing his acceptance.But in the next moment, she raised her eyes again, "So, have my father and the first emperor ever broken their sleeves or shared their peaches?"
"Of course not." It was a duet.

Xu Jiao glanced at the Eldest Princess and Mr. Du who were looking at each other with inexplicable expressions, and thought to himself, there is a tacit understanding!

The eldest princess silently withdrew her gaze from looking at Mr. Du, "My royal father is not that kind of person."

Mr. Du also tightened the corners of his mouth, "As far as I know, your father has his heart and soul for your mother, and there is absolutely no way he has another heart. However, it's hard to say if someone threatens you with power."

"What did you say?" The eldest princess slapped the table at her side vigorously, and it exploded.

"Am I wrong? Does Your Highness really think that the late emperor was a gentleman?" Mr. Du looked back at the eldest princess without showing any weakness, his words were still sharp.

"Du Wenzhong, you don't want to have something in your words, you have the ability, and explain everything clearly to me. Otherwise, I will definitely punish you for the crime of disrespect for privately talking about the late emperor." The eldest princess was extremely angry.

Xu Jiao looked at the eldest princess with bright eyes and full of fighting spirit, and then thought about the lethargic look when she first saw the eldest princess, and suddenly realized that Mr. Du was the medicine for the eldest princess to bring her back to life.

He raised his eyes inadvertently, and met Helianshu's cold eyes. With a wink, Xu Jiao nodded understandingly. While the eldest princess and Mr. Du were arguing in full swing, Xu Jiao got up quietly and followed Helianshu Behind him, he left the flower hall.

Xu Jiao followed behind him, meditating all the way until she woke up, only to realize that she had come to a somewhat familiar place.Isn't this where the first two visits were made?Governor Helian's bedroom.

Xu Jiao suddenly raised his head, surprise and doubt were clearly written in his eyes, although he didn't ask, He Lianshu seemed to understand what she was thinking, his eyes wandered around the room and said, "This place that was cleaned up in the mansion Not much, and I thought we needed a safe and convenient place to talk."

Xu Jiao nodded, well, anyway, she is not a hypocritical person, a lonely man and a widow, living in the same room or something, for them, it really has become natural for them.This is not the first time, what are you afraid of?
