Rebirth of the special forces: the only favorite concubine in cold love

Chapter 370

"This thing seems familiar." Nangong Yuan took the bracelet over and looked at it carefully. He always felt that he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"I don't know where Mo'er got this thing?"

"My mother left it to me back then, and I accidentally lost a few beads. Now I want to make up for it, so I asked my father if he had seen it before?" Nangong Qianmo made up a reason .

Nangong Yuan pondered for a moment, and said: "That's it. This item was a gift from an old friend of your mother's. It is considered to be an ancient item of some years old. It is probably impossible to make up for it."

"Old friend? Does father know that old friend?" Nangong Qianmo immediately grasped the key point and asked.

"That man has been dead for many years, and I don't remember it clearly as a father..." Nangong Yuan said vaguely.

Nangong Qianmo didn't believe it: "Mother's old friend is from Nan Jing, I guessed it right?"

Nangong Yuan was startled, "Mo'er, how do you know..."

"I've been to the Imperial Mausoleum of Nangong." Nangong Qianmo looked him in the eyes and said each word without a word, "The eight lost beads are now in the underground palace of the Imperial Tomb."

"Why did you go to Emperor Nanjing's Mausoleum?! That's..." Nan Gongyuan felt his heart skip a beat.So where is the Nanjing Mausoleum? How could Mo'er take the risk to go to that kind of place?

"Why are Nan Jing's things in the hands of mother, why did the relationship between you and mother fall apart 18 years ago, why have mother and grandfather never met each other for so many years?" Questions were raised one after another, Nan Gongqian Mo stopped in his tracks, looked at Nangong Yuan, and said firmly, "Father, I want to know the truth about that year."

Nangong Yuan was at a loss for words for a while, "Mo'er, you just said it yourself, don't mention the past..."

"Yes, you can stop talking about the past, but you can't hide the truth, can you?" There was persistence in the cold and indifferent voice, and she must get an answer today!
Seeing Nangong Yuan's hesitation in his eyes, Nangong Qianmo immediately threw out another thing that shocked him: "In the tomb of Emperor Nangong, I saw a woman in red who had died for many years. High Priest Xitong wants to use my blood to wake her up, even if that is the case, can't you tell me?"

"You saw her?" Nangong Yuan was shocked when he heard it at first, and suddenly said: "No, didn't Xitong died five years ago?"

"Yes, Xitong is dead. He died under Mo Tingye's stabbing sword five years ago." Nangong Qianmo said lightly. In the battle of Xiangyang City, she was given the golden silk butterfly Gu by Xitong. Ye killed him in a fit of rage, and then lost all his internal strength in order to relieve himself of the Gu...

"This..." Nangong Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word. Five years ago, he only heard that Xitong had died, but he didn't think that it was because of King Xuan's sword, and it was related to his daughter!

"The woman in red in the imperial mausoleum is my mother's old friend, right? She also gave the tourmaline bracelet to my mother. Father, tell me, who is she? What happened 18 years ago?" Nangong Qianmo asked Without giving him a chance to breathe, he asked closely.She knew that if she couldn't ask today, it would be difficult to find out from her father in the future.

"Finally I can't hide it anymore," Nangong Yuan sighed, and said in a desolate tone, "If I'm not wrong, the woman in red you saw should be the previous High Priest of the Nanjing Witch Clan, Lingluo."

"It all started 23 years ago. At that time, Lingluo came to Shangjing by accident while hiding her identity, and met your mother. Speaking of which, back then, me, your mother, Prince Yun and his wife, Mu Zhengfeng, and... and Xi Heng, the few of us can be regarded as very good friends, but unfortunately there is always a banquet in this world—"

"That year, there was a turmoil in Nanjing's witch clan. Lingluo, as the high priest who was about to succeed, had to return to Nanjing ahead of time. Before leaving, she gave this item to your mother. That farewell was also the last time we saw each other."

"Not long after Lingluo left, several tribes in the southern border started fighting. At that time, Mu Zhengfeng, Xi Heng and I were ordered to lead an army to the southern border to suppress the rebellion. When the army was about to win, Xi Heng suddenly turned against us. On the contrary, although the rebellion was suppressed in the end, too many people died in that battle, and Mu Zhengfeng and I had no choice but to escort Xi Heng back to Beijing."

"At that time, not long after the emperor came to the throne, his foundation was not stable. The incident of the Xi family was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this, so in a fit of anger, the emperor decreed that all members of the Xi family be beheaded for public display. There will be no survivors." Speaking of this matter, Nangong Yuan seemed to have reproduced the scene of the Xi family and his family's blood flowing into rivers that day, and there was inevitably a bit of sigh in his tone.

Nangong Qianmo frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "How is this Xi Heng related to you and your mother?" The Xi family was ransacked 23 years ago, and the relationship between father and mother was 18 years old. Before, there was an interval of five full years. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any connection, but since my father mentioned this matter, he wouldn't be aimless...

Sure enough, Nangong Yuan's helplessness and bitterness inadvertently crossed her face, and she said an unexpected answer: "Xi Heng and your mother originally had an engagement, if it wasn't for that war, they would have been married long ago... "

What? !Nangong Qianmo never expected that such a situation would happen. So the mother and that man named Xi Heng had a marriage contract?But, why did my mother marry someone else in the blink of an eye, but fell out with her father and grandfather five years later?
Seemingly seeing her doubts, Nan Gongyuan continued: "At the beginning, I found out the evidence of Xi Heng's defection, and I secretly handed it to my father-in-law, and later my father-in-law presented it to the emperor... 18 years ago At your full moon banquet, Mu Zhengfeng was drunk and accidentally revealed this, so your mother..."

"Even though Mu Zhengfeng explained his unintentional mistake to me after waking up, Hualing and I could never go back to the beginning, and this matter became a thorn in my heart. Due to various differences in political views, Mu Zhengfeng and I gradually drifted apart, and we have hardly had any contact for so many years."

Thinking back carefully, the few people who were angry and dressed in fresh clothes at the time are now different things, dead and scattered, and if you really count it, there are only two of you and Hualing left...

"Father, why did Xi Heng turn his back on the battlefield?" Nangong Qianmo vaguely sensed something was wrong.
