Chapter 399 Chen Zhong's Secret (Part [-])

Gu You tilted his head and tried his best to recall and said, "It seems that I was injured when I was practicing. I didn't go to worship the ancestors once, but I went there later. Which time are you talking about?"

"Why do I remember only once?"

Wu Chen stood up and said, "I'll go into the palace."

……

Li Heng had just sent the ministers away, and after listening to Xing Yun's report, he was so angry that he didn't know how to vent it, but at this moment Wu Chen came.

When Li Heng saw Wu Chen, he said angrily: "You are so majestic! You can come and go from my palace at any time, and you are more comfortable than me!"

Wu Chen ignored Li Heng's unreasonable troubles, sat on the chair and said, "Maybe Li Shen is in Shuangxi Village."

Li Heng originally wanted to swear a few more words, but he swallowed the words in his throat, choking him so much that he coughed.

Liu Jinzhong was in a hurry to bring tea forward, but was knocked over by Li Heng.

"You don't want to look for it just to go to Shuangxi Village..."

"Am I crazy? Why do I have to go to Shuangxi Village? Is there a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver? Do you know what's good or bad?" Wu Chen asked with staring eyes.

Liu Jinzhong saw this posture and quickly retreated.

Li Heng took a deep breath.

Wu Chen also adjusted his breathing and said, "Chen Zhong has a pair of twin subordinates, you know that, right? Have you seen it?"

Li Heng shook his head.

"Xing Yun is also a twin. You said he was born by your nanny. You were afraid that the world would not tolerate it, so you secretly stayed with you. There are also your mother and the female ghost. They are also twins! Shuangxi Village is rich in twin?"

Li Heng was stunned.

Wu Chen also said: "Chen Zhong once went back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, and he once said in front of his ancestor's grave, 'The former prince Li Shen is not dead, the ancestors bless you!'"

Li Heng's face turned livid.

"At that time, the pair of twins had just arrived at Chen Zhong's side. They grew up in the house and had never seen anyone else. Of course, Chen Zhong had the final say on how old they were. They said they were thirty this year, but whoever looked Almost forty years old, the two of them have very vague memories of their childhood, or they don't have any at all..."

"What does this mean?" Li Heng leaned forward and asked, holding the bookcase in his hand.

"Back then, the late emperor accepted too many young eunuchs into the palace, and Chen Zhong held a grudge. Who would know about this? Let me talk about a wider possibility. Does anyone in the palace who can get close to you have a chance to know?"

Li Heng frowned and asked, "You mean Chen Zhong would be so stupid as to tell others about this?"

"He is much older than you, but he was still a child when he entered the palace. His emotions are not right. It is not impossible for others to hear him when he vents."

"You mean, Li Shen once heard Chen Zhong's complaint...the twins were given to Chen Zhong by Li Shen?" Li Heng asked in disbelief.

"Why did Chen Zhong falsely report Gu Zuo Gu You's age? Who would pay attention to the age of these two brothers?"

Li Heng sat down on the chair, following Wu Chen's train of thought to think about the reason for falsely reporting his age.

Wu Chen reminded:
"No matter how old these two brothers are around Chen Zhong, there's no need to cover them up, right? Even if he tells the truth, you can't do anything, but Chen Zhong doesn't have this kind of love! Besides, he has a suspicious temperament. I will also keep thinking about your thoughts, if you know that he has taken in a pair of twins who are half-sized, what would you think?"

"He said they were the twins of relatives in his hometown. After they were born, they didn't have the heart to drown, so they sent them to him. They really didn't say how old they were. I always thought they were babies who were a few months old... Sigh, I was too trusting at that time He never asks too much about him."

"When did you send it? When did Chen Zhong have his own mansion outside the palace?"

"After I become the prince."

"How old were you when the first emperor made you the crown prince?"

"14 is old."

"Did the crown prince set you up after his death?"

"I was established two years after the death of the first prince, and it will be 20 years in the blink of an eye."

"Don't be too busy lamenting how time flies. Chen Zhong is older than you. He can clearly remember the hatred he felt back then, and he hates it deeply. This shows that he was not a child when he received that knife."

"You can just ask me directly? He was 13 years old when he entered the palace, and I was only two years old."

"The 25-year-old eunuch has a mansion outside the palace. No one can care about this, right?"

"Father also thought that he had served me for many years, so he agreed."

Wu Chen leaned forward and said:

"Gu Zuo and Gu You should be about the same age as you, and even two years older than you. They were half-grown-ups when they came to Chen Zhong, but they were deceived by the servants that they were only a few years old. It can be seen that the two brothers All previous memories have been erased, and even the memory of when Chen Zhong first arrived is not very clear, but they are not stupid. You said you have the ability to do such a thing, and you have the ability to send the twins... …”

"Li Shen joined forces with the people from Shuangxi Village?" Li Heng asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Furthermore, the Empress Dowager, she knew the ins and outs of Liu Zhai's case ten years ago. It's hard to say whether she was involved in it now. At that time, Chen Zhong was in direct contact with Li Shen's people, not following orders from the Empress Dowager. Chen Zhong didn't have long hair. Hou, what he wants is to take revenge on you, Li Shen's body needs to be washed to improve, and he won't plunge into it, so he chose Li Yi, and he is just following the flow of favor with Li Shen."

Li Heng sat there with a gloomy expression. He pondered what Wu Chen said before asking:
"Even if we know that Li Shen is involved in Shuangxi Village, how can we conclude that he is in Shuangxi Village now?"

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "As long as Li Shen looks like a human being, he will not let you sit on the dragon chair until today. Tell me what you want to hear most. I infer that Li Shen is just hanging on the throne." The tone has kept Li Shen breathless for so many years..."

Li Heng took a deep breath.

"I said before that it would be great if he could stand in front of others. Now think about it, Li Yi has a will in his hand. You know what it is written in. If your mother can hide it for a while, it may not be able to hide it from the late emperor. I feel that the late emperor It should be because he knew something and was worried that he left the edict. Li Shen has many capable people under his command. It should not be difficult to get this edict. The two uncles and nephews competed again, but Li Shenming knew what Li Yi had done, and with Chen Zhong around, Li Shen would definitely know, but Li Shen didn't move. , it can be seen that washing ink is so important to Li Shen, it is so important to save his life, which means that Li Shen may be between life and death at present, and he is more partial to death!"

Li Heng sighed heavily and asked:

"I understand what you mean. You think it was the people from Shuangxi Village who rescued Li Shen from the mausoleum. They have been raising Li Shen in Shuangxi Village. But they have me, why should they save Li Shen?"

"The gold-edged fan in your hand was left to you by your grandfather, right?"

Li Heng nodded.
