Chapter 515

After He Xiangshan heard her words, his expression changed instantly: "He actually said that?"

Xiao Lingjiang nodded, and his voice became more and more serious: "Uncle, I have no way of knowing what happened back then. However, during this period, is there really something hidden? Could the palace change really have something to do with the emperor?"

He Xiangshan frowned, shook his head and said: "The palace changed suddenly back then, the rebellious king joined forces with the imperial guards in the palace to blockade the entire palace, and slaughtered wantonly, it can be said that blood flowed like a river..." Thinking of the past, his eyes could not help showing a bit of pain meaning to.

"He wanted the throne, so he besieged the late emperor first, and sent people to massacre the East Palace, in order to force the late emperor to write an imperial edict to pass on the throne to him."

"Fortunately, King Su back then, who is today's sage, led his troops to serve the king in time, so that the palace change was quelled. At that time, the prince had passed away, and the former emperor passed the throne to King Su who had made great contributions in grief. There will be a funeral soon."

Leading troops to serve the king, pacifying the palace...

King Su undoubtedly appeared in the image of a hero, so how could the assassin say that there were other truths in the palace change back then, and that the emperor's position was not right?
Xiao Lingjiang frowned slightly: "After the palace change, the court will settle and investigate. Have you found any clues that King Su was involved?"

He Xiangshan shook his head: "Obviously not. Not to mention that there was no sign that King Su was involved at that time, but there was. At that time, the palace chaos was fixed, and the first emperor died immediately. After that, King Su took over everything. , how can you let others find out?"

"That's right." Xiao Lingjiang sighed, because she was thinking about it.

"Then when the throne was passed on, did anything unusual happen?"

He Xiangshan thought for a while and said: "When the first emperor passed on the throne, the important ministers and the eldest princess were all there, so there is no doubt that the name is justified."

Justifiably...

"So...there are no doubts?" Xiao Lingjiang asked.

He Xiangshan shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

At that time, as the natal family of the Crown Princess, the He family's vitality was also seriously injured, and because of the matter of entrusting Gu to prevent the newly appointed new emperor from being suspicious and settling accounts, they were unable to pay attention to others.

He looked up at Xiao Lingjiang, turned his words around twice, and asked again: "Ling Jiang, if this is true, you..."

Xiao Lingjiang saw him hesitating to speak, and understood in his heart: "Uncle is asking me if I have any intention of revenge?"

She smiled slightly and asked, "What does uncle think?"

He Xiangshan sighed deeply: "What happened yesterday must not be left behind, what happened in the past...let it go...Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has inevitably stained hands with blood, but who will be the winner in the end?"

If she were a man, she might still be able to overthrow the emperor's position, jump up by herself, and regain the lineage of Prince Yiwen.

But if he was really a man, the emperor would not allow him to live to this day.

"Whether it's true or not, you should let it go."

Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What does uncle mean...don't check, don't ask?"

"Yes." He Xiangshan nodded, "Don't check, don't ask. You also know that today's saints are very suspicious. Now that the assassin's words come out, people will inevitably think that they are old people from the palace. Either they are traitors. One branch, or complaining about your father."

"Now that the sage has sent someone to track down the assassin, you should not get involved in this matter, lest people think you really listened to the assassin's words."

Xiao Lingjiang shrugged and said with a helpless smile: "But I'm here today, and I have indeed heard this with my own ears. Even if I don't get involved, with the temperament of this person today, I'm afraid he will be suspicious of me and the He family, right? "

The crux of the matter was not whether the assassin's words were true, but that his words aroused the emperor's suspicion just right.

Xiao Lingjiang was almost certain that this group of people could not be the ones following Prince Yiwen.

Everyone should know that she has now belonged to the royal family and is making a living under the imperial power.

If they were really the ones who followed Prince Yiwen back then, they wouldn't have assassinated the emperor secretly without knowing her at all, and would have spread the rumor that there was something hidden about the palace change and that the emperor's position was not right.

You must know that no matter whether this group of people is still loyal to Prince Yiwen or not, it will only harm them and not benefit them if they are caught in the turmoil like this.

Such a sentence seems to be aimed at the emperor, but intuitively, she always feels that it seems to be aimed at her and the He family.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes darkened, and he said to He Xiangshan: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth, I am lazy and don't like to get involved in the past of the previous generation. The past is gone, and it has no meaning to me. For me, focusing on the present moment is the most important thing.”

Her current body is the blood of Prince Yiwen.But... the other person involved was her previous biological father.

She is Xiao Lingjiang, but she is also Xiao Heng.

To Crown Prince Yiwen, she has no affection at all, and to the Emperor, she has no father-daughter friendship.

If she were to take up the banner of Prince Yiwen to seek the emperor's revenge because of the old incident, set off a struggle for imperial power, and cause turmoil in the court and rivers and lakes, she would not be able to do it, nor would she be able to do it.

However, the He family meant a lot to her, and she treasured her life now.Whether the emperor has ulterior motives or not, if she wants to use this to make trouble, she will not be caught without a fight.

"It's useless for me to be alone. The world is so big that I have a place to go, but the He family can no longer be caught in trouble because of this. Don't worry, no matter what happened back then, I will do my best to protect the He family."

He Xiangshan's eyes couldn't help but move: "You..."

He seemed to sigh and sigh: "Ling Jiang, you have to remember that no matter what happens, the He family will always stand behind you. It doesn't just need you to protect it, it can also protect you. Big deal, He Family It’s all about retreating to Linchuan again.”

When Xiao Lingjiang heard this, his eyes were full of smiles: "Uncle treats me so much and loves me so much, so Jiang must certainly live up to my uncle's wishes."

After inquiring with He Xiangshan about a few more things from the past, Xiao Lingjiang went back to his mansion, and then disguised himself and went secretly to the Princess's mansion in order to understand what happened back then.

However, even the eldest princess, who has personally experienced this incident, can't think of anything wrong with what happened back then.

Perhaps... these words were really said by the assassin on purpose.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly. If so, is it the faction of the traitor king that is causing trouble now, or is it that other forces want to provoke the chaos of the Great Zhou royal family again?

According to what the eldest princess said, after the palace change that year, the line of traitors to the king was purged. So many years have passed. Could it be that there are still fish that slipped through the net?
She couldn't help thinking of the shrine that had disappeared for a long time, and the group of envoys who were very active in Yingdu recently...

However, before Xiao Lingjiang could figure it out, news came from the palace that the assassins caught by Chen Nie finally spoke up. They were the servants of Prince Yiwen who survived the chaos in the palace, and now they were ordered to assassinate the emperor. To avenge Prince Yiwen.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes sank, and he clenched the note in his hand.
