Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 486 The Mystery Revealed
The matter involved seems to be very complicated, and it also involves the inner court.Li Chengqian didn't dare to take him back to the East Palace directly, and after discussing all the way, he went directly to his father-in-law's house.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin avoided the crowd, he approached the young lady Shan and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, don't shout here."

Shan Youniang is also smart, she stopped struggling immediately, and let someone take her back to Duke Lu's mansion.

After entering Lu Guogong's mansion, Cheng Yaojin shouted everyone away, bowed consciously, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are busy, the old minister went to look at some darlings..."

"Yue Zhang, don't leave..."

Li Chengqian said: "This matter needs to be discussed with Yue Zhang."

After a pause, he ordered again: "Big Companion, Aunt Jin, Qiu Ju, take some masters out to play."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After everyone retreated and the door closed, the light dimmed.

Li Chengqian sat down with a complicated expression, and asked: "Young lady, why are you wronged? There are no outsiders here, so tell me."

A caring word made Shan Youniang cry, and she cried bitterly: "Your Highness, this servant was forced to leave the palace, not voluntarily..."

"But Yang Guimei forced you?"

When the matter reached this point, Yang Xiaoran suddenly understood something.It's just that I'm a little unsure, how can the Yang family have such a great ability?
Shan Youniang nodded, kowtowed to Yang Xiaoran and said, "Princess Concubine, Empress Shengming."

Then he looked at Zhao Si again, wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "When this Eunuch Zhao came to my house, I felt hope came, and I hinted to Eunuch Zhao many times..."

After a pause, he continued: "Elder-in-law, do you still remember that when the servants served you tea, they said that the water in the well at home is not clear, so it is not as sweet as the water in the well at home?"

Zhao Si was stunned for a while, then suddenly patted himself on the head, and said with absent-minded eyes: "So it is so, so it is so! Oh, my servant is too stupid, why didn't I hear it? This well is not that well, so I clearly told my servant Lu Si Niang is not Lu Si Niang!"

After saying that, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this servant is stupid and almost missed a big deal, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, and said: "It's hard to think of such a rare thing even if you break your head. If you don't have a good memory, you still remember the appearance of the young lady, otherwise I'm afraid there are such twists and turns in it."

They are all smart people, and once the affirmative answer came out of Shan Youniang's mouth, she guessed something.I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the Yang family.

"Come on, sit down, don't be afraid, speak slowly."

After all, women should be more careful, Yang Xiaoran personally helped the young lady Shan to get up, and the young lady Shan started to cry again.

It seemed to pour out the grievances and fears of these years all at once.Everyone didn't bother her, and waited for her to cry enough and tell the weirdness in person.

Shan Youniang cried for a long time, probably she had vented enough, she wiped her tears slowly, got up again, knelt down in front of Li Chengqian, kowtowed and said: "Your servant is guilty of not obeying the master, so I went to heaven Send down the punishment of heaven, let the elder brother of the servant girl die in the palace, please punish him!"

After speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness fell from the horse that year because Yang ordered someone to do it!"

Li Chengqian was stunned, and then murmured: "She, she had no name and role at that time, and Gu also had no grievances or enmities with her, why did she kill Gu?"

After a pause, he continued: "Shan Xi, Shan Youniang..."

His eyes slowly widened, "Shan Xi is your brother?"

Shan Youniang nodded, holding back her tears and said: "Speaking of it, I'm just a slave brother. There was a famine at home, and many people starved to death. The tribe came out together to find a way to survive. Halfway through, most of them were starved to death. Later , only my elder brother and I were left, and we were exiled to the capital. During a begging session, my elder brother was bullied, injured his roots, and almost died. Perhaps it is the blessing of the ancestors in the sky, my elder brother survived the high fever, and finally survived. After I got down, even though my body is already disabled, it seems that because of this, the times have changed."

"That year, the palace recruited Xiao Huangmen. My brother met a nobleman and voluntarily entered the palace. He pushed the palace's one-time settling allowance, and only begged that nobleman to bring me into the palace."

Li Chengqian frowned, "Who is that noble man?"

Shan Youniang was silent for a while, and then said with some difficulty: "It's King Qi..."

Li Chengqian took a breath, "Did you go to Prince Qi's Mansion when you were serving Gu?"

Shan Youniang shook her head and said: "No, no. Only my elder brother went, and the servants were assigned to the Qin Palace..."

"Then why haven't you said it?"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Your Highness doesn't even know about your relationship with Shan Xi, why do you keep hiding it?"

"It's what my brother said. It's not good for people to know about our relationship. People say that people have complicated hearts. If people find out, they will easily be manipulated."

Yang Xiaoran nodded, "I didn't expect your brother to be so thoughtful at that age, and he suffered a lot after thinking about it, poor man..."

When talking about her clan brother, Shan Youniang burst into tears again, and said: "Brother is smart, he has read some books, if it wasn't for his bad luck, how could he..."

After a pause, he shook his head again, and said, "Forget it...it's all fate..."

"Then do you know that little Lu?"

Yang Xiaoran asked: "Why do you live as his sister?"

As soon as Xiao Luzi was mentioned, Shan Youniang's complexion changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Even this dog thief, even the servant who turned into ashes will recognize him!"

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes.

Shan Youniang's words had too much impact on him.

King Qi, Yang family...

Could it be that Mrs. Yang committed herself to her father and then waited for an opportunity to take revenge?

"That little Luzi is from Prince Qi's residence!"

Shan Youniang gritted her teeth and said: "After my brother entered the palace, he has been taking good care of him, and later he introduced it to Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Yang's face is kind and evil, and she often laments her fate. I went to the palace to do things well, but because I had read books, I only knew how to be loyal to the emperor. King Qi found that my brother was useless, so he ignored it. Later, the servant girl went to the palace of King Qin. The king ordered, and he also felt at ease."

"I thought I could always spend my life in peace in the palace like this. But that little Luzi pretended to be friendly with her brother, saying that although the Yang family has no status, she has kindness to His Majesty, and she seldom fights in the palace, and because of the kindness of King Qi Because of this, this kind brother had no choice but to admit it, so he voluntarily went to Yang's side to serve him. But gradually, my brother discovered something was wrong."

"what happened?"

Cheng Yaojin's expression froze, "Please tell me carefully!"

"Yes!"

Shan Youniang gritted her teeth, her face was a little hideous, "He found that some maidservants in the harem who used to serve in Prince Qi's mansion often came to visit Mrs Yang, and Mrs Yang seemed to like His Majesty very much, but she turned around and was in those palaces. People lamented how unlucky he was in front of them, and aroused the sympathy of those people... The elder brother felt that there must be some unscrupulous schemes for acting like this. And he gradually discovered that Xiao Luzi, a thief, had also stayed in the Qi Palace before, although he was not serving Yang's side. , but secretly helping the Yang family to contact the old man of Qi Palace..."

Shan Youniang burst into tears when she said this, and she couldn't help it, "This dog thief has evil intentions, and he stubbornly wants to ask my brother to go into the water. Later, a servant girl went to visit her brother secretly, but she overheard Xiao Luzi talking to her brother. Yang's deeds, they were discovered by the servants who were panicked when they were serving as servants on His Highness's horse..."

Yang Xiaoran took a breath of air, "Because you and Shan Xi were the guarantors of King Qi to enter the palace, so Yang Shi knows about your relationship?"

"Yes!"

Shan Youniang nodded, "After they captured the servant, they called the elder brother of the servant and threatened that if they dared to speak out, they would kill me and my brother..."

Shan Youniang cried again as she spoke, and kowtowed: "Your Highness, your servant is unfaithful, please punish him! But this servant can't do it either, Mrs. Yang is holding her brother's life in her hands, it's my brother's kindness that this servant can enter the palace alive, and again The only family member, I know I deserve to die, but I implore Your Highness to be the master of this slave!"

"Fool!"

Cheng Yaojin scolded: "At that time, His Highness was already the crown prince, and His Highness was already in his teens when he fell from the horse, and he gradually gained prestige in the court and the people! As His Highness's personal maid, you wouldn't have the guts to give that Yang family a hundred Dare to attack you! It’s up to the owner to beat a dog! Straight mother thief, this little girl is so scheming, she has spotted the weakness of your brothers and sisters, and is holding you hostage!"

"That's why she was let out of the palace..."

Li Chengqian sighed, "Your husband, if Gu Ruo guessed correctly, it was Yang who arranged it for you, right? The name is Husband, but he is actually someone who watches over you. You seem to be in danger as a pawn, but as long as you live, Shan Xi didn't dare to expose her. Although it's normal for a lot of people to die in this palace, I'm still afraid of the fact that you are doing things by Gu's side. If you keep you, you can force Shan Xi to do more things. It's better than Except for you, it's good for both sides to suffer! This Yang family really has some tricks..."

"The most important thing is that when the empress was alive, she cared so much about the affairs of the palace that Yang didn't dare to move easily. The old man remembers clearly that there were some palace people who died for no reason in the palace back then, even though they were from Ye Ting. , but the empress has personally intervened. This also explains why you brothers and sisters discovered her secret, but only dared to force you out of the palace but did not dare to kill your brothers and sisters..."

Cheng Yaojin sighed, "After the queen passed away, Mrs. Yang and His Majesty met at the level view, and felt honored, favored, and had come, and felt that it was a disaster to keep this single happiness, so she died of illness. And you, It was impossible to escape this catastrophe, but my daughter had discovered the clues at the time and intervened in this matter to allow you to live for a while."

"Lu Guogong is right..."

Shan Youniang said: "Originally, the servants in the capital thought that they would die. But my husband finally found out that he had two more children. He wanted to strangle the servants that day, but in the end he couldn't do it. So many couples Although the love was fake at the beginning, the servant girl still warmed his heart..."

"You appear in the capital, what about your husband?" Yang Xiaoran asked.

Shan Youniang was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "He left some money for the servant, and told the servant to go to Beijing to find the crown prince. Maybe there will be a turnaround. Then he took the two children and left... He said, if he can bring down Yang Shi, maybe we can continue the relationship between husband and wife..."
