Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 257 The Secret 20 Years Ago

"I understand. If Yue Fei doesn't gain the morale of the army, the Xu family's army will be a hidden danger to him. That's why he keeps trying to win over the Xu family and find a way to subdue them, right?"

"Yes. Smart." He smiled.

"Okay, don't mention this, I don't have the energy to deal with the Xu family for the time being, besides, I think it would be good for Brother Xue to deal with the Xu family's army, he has the Mo Bingshu in his hand." Xuan Luo said, not seeing Huangfu Yao at all. The look in her eyes changed, and she changed when she mentioned "Brother Xue".

"Although Xue Yingchen has the Mo Bingshu, he may not be Xu Long's opponent." He said coldly, although his eyes were normal, but his tone...
"Aren't you jealous? Brother Xue's jealousy is worth your while?" Xuan Luo was not an idiot. Hearing Huangfu Yao's tone and looking at his face, he knew what he was thinking.

"Who would be jealous when they are full and have nothing to do? Or Xue Yingchen's jealousy?" He snorted coldly.

Xuan Luo giggled, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you."

"You little fox—" He laughed, and stared at Xuan Luo for a while, then he was helpless, and continued: "Let's not mention Xue Yingchen, just talk about Nalan Jing, the last time Nalan Jing talked to Xu Ying had a fight, and then Xu Ying fell in love with him at first sight and fell in love deeply. Guess what happened afterwards?"

"You can tell from your expression that Xu Ying is stalking Nalan. Given Nalan's temperament, he will definitely slap Xu Ying in the face. Why is Xu Ying really so mean?"

"I don't know if Xu Ying is guilty or not, but I only know that Nalan Jing seems to have dug a big hole, waiting for Xu Ying to jump into it."

"real or fake?"

"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows, the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

"So, Xu Ying is going to fall into Nalan's hands." Xuan Luo rubbed his chin, eyebrows curved, "That's a good relationship, if he solves Xu Ying, I'll treat him to a big meal. "

"I even took care of Yue Fei for you. Why don't you see me treating you to a big meal?"

Xuan Luo: "..."

On this day, Xuan Luo complied with Shi Yuan's request and followed him directly to the mountain where Shi Jiang was hiding, where Long Si, Fei Yun and others were guarding, so it was safe.

Xuan Luo didn't expect that the place where Shi Jiang lived would be an extremely damp cave. This cave seemed to be purposely opened up to face the wall. Except for a food delivery person at the door, there were only a few people inside. There are small holes for ventilation, and then there are four stone walls.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he was greeted by a very unpleasant smell of medicine.

Shi Yuan carefully guarded the door, his eyes were serious, and his face was full of respect that he had never seen before.

"You are finally here." A hoarse and old voice came into Xuanluo's ears, Xuanluo tilted his head, and with the help of a faint light, he finally saw a bed in a corner on the left, and this bed , is the only thing in this cave.

Of course, the person lying on the bed at this moment is Shi Jiang who Xuan Luo has been looking for!The personal guard of the first emperor, Ta Ba Ye!
"Yes, I'm here." She approached slowly, and before she took a step closer, she felt a little more of the dead air emanating from Shi Jiang's body.

If she doesn't come again, Shi Jiang is afraid that he won't be able to wait for her.she thinks.

"Why do you have to trap yourself here?" She asked, her tone was light, her eyes were inexplicable.

Yes, except for Shi Jiang himself, no one can trap him in this dark cave facing the wall.

"Hehe." He suddenly laughed lowly, the light was too dim, Xuan Luo couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could guess that there should be bitterness on the corner of his mouth at this moment.

"Little master is here, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute, long live my emperor." He is actually only in his 40s, but his voice is older and more vicissitudes than that of an eighty-year-old man.

Xuan Luo's heart was shaken by his words "Long live, long live, long live".

"Shi Jiang, tell me what happened 20 years ago." Xuan Luo looked at him firmly, looking at the haggard face, and asked word by word.

"This subordinate has waited here for 20 years, just to tell the little master everything today."

For some reason, Xuan Luo felt that his voice was a little choked?
"You say, I listen."

She stood beside Shi Jiang's bed, motionless, but the majesty that naturally emanated from her body enveloped the entire cave.

"Lan Ting is your aunt, dear aunt." His words completely disrupted Xuan Luo's heart.

She thought that she was just taken back by the late emperor to be raised by Lan Ting, but she never thought that there was a blood relationship between them.

"Your mother is the most beloved daughter of the young master of the Lan family. Although her meridians were crippled when she was born, and she couldn't learn martial arts in her whole life, she didn't give up on herself. Instead, she lived such a happy life.

You know, in the Lan family, if she couldn't practice martial arts, she would be discarded, but she didn't, and instead became the jewel-like princess of the entire Lan family.She is so kind and gentle that the master fell in love with her when he saw her. "

The expression on Shi Jiang's face was very peaceful, which showed how beautiful his memories were, and Xuan Luo listened quietly without disturbing him.

"Your mother's name is Lan Fengqing." He paused and looked sideways at Xuan Luo, trying to see her expressionless expression.

Xuan Luo's heart shook, and her fingers were trembling.

Lan Fengqing, Lan Fengqing, this person was once the princess of the Lan family who was as precious as jewels, but in the end she was expelled from the Lan family and became an abandoned child.

However, why was the most beloved daughter of the young master of the Lan family subjected to such a cruel punishment?She doesn't understand and can't find out.

"How did she die?" Xuan Luo closed her eyes and finally asked.

"Suicide." Shi Jiang spat out two words, two words that Xuan Luo couldn't believe the most.

"How is it possible?" Since she lived such a free and happy life, it meant that she was very optimistic. How could she commit suicide?

Besides, she had a relationship with the first emperor, so how could she be willing to commit suicide?Abandoning his own child to commit suicide?

Shi Jiang closed his eyes and sighed softly: "The incident happened in Dashi Country."

"More than 20 years ago, the first emperor visited his wife in private, and they fell in love at first sight. In order to let his wife enter the palace as the queen, the master wanted to abolish the then empress, so he was threatened with death by the old empress.

After the madam found out about this, not only did she not show any sadness, but instead she comforted the master, saying that she could not have any status, as long as she could be by the master's side. By his side, at that time he was already obsessed with his wife, and he actually wanted to abdicate for the sake of his wife. This matter was once again stopped by the old queen mother and several important officials who held great power.

And at that time, after the first empress knew about her master's embarrassment, she actually hanged herself to death in order to fulfill her master. This matter also became an eternal knot in the master's heart. Naturally, regarding the death of the first empress, the wife could not untie this knot.Therefore, the master went out of the palace to accompany his wife all day long, and the two of them hardly talked about anything in the palace.

But disaster still came.

In addition to the assassination from all sides, the members of the Lan family finally found out about this matter. When the old lady of the Lan family knew that the wife was with the master, she was furious at first, and then forced the young master of the Lan family who was already seriously ill at the time to drive his wife out of Lan. family, and even to remove her name in the ancestral hall, the young master of the Lan family refused to allow it, but he was powerless to stop it. In the end, he still couldn't protect his daughter and died in depression.

It was also because of the death of the young master of the Lan family that the madam's heart disease broke out again, and at that time, she already had you, the young master. "
