Tyrant, calm down

Chapter 708 The secret hidden in the dagger (4)

?Her mother was born to the Empress Dowager and her ex-husband?
Almost immediately, Shen Jingshu guessed that her grandmother, Xuanyuan's current empress dowager, sent her mother to Xifeng because she was afraid that Xuanyuanjing's grandfather would find out the truth and kill her mother.

But what Zhao Cheng said next proved that her guess was wrong.

Zhao Cheng said that Xuanyuanjing's grandfather was ambitious back then, coveting the throne and even her grandmother's beauty, so he secretly colluded with the courtiers to seize the throne.

Her grandmother was originally a saint and had the ability to foresee the future, but because she happened to be pregnant with her at that time, her ability was greatly reduced, and she could not foresee Xuanyuanjing's grandfather's conspiracy.

At that time, the left and right national teachers were both strange men with talents in Jingwei. These two were loyal and wholeheartedly supported her grandfather.

It stands to reason that with the support of these two people, it would be impossible for Xuanyuanjing's grandfather to succeed.

However, Zuo Qingbai, the younger brother of Zuo Qinghan, Zuo Guoshi, has always hated Zuo Qinghan for inheriting the position of Guoshi, and secretly colluded with Xuanyuanjing's grandfather, killing Zuo Qinghan and everyone in his family.

Without Zuo Qinghan, and with the help of Zuo Qingbai, Xuanyuanjing's grandfather, who was holding a heavy army, quickly captured the imperial city, killing the then king and the whole family of You Guoshi who supported the king.

After seeking to usurp the throne, Xuanyuanjing's grandfather quickly occupied her maternal grandmother, and soon after, it was reported that her maternal grandmother was pregnant, but in fact, this child was not Xuanyuanjing's grandfather's flesh and blood.

But her grandmother bribed the imperial doctor, took the secret medicine, and changed the pulse, so everyone thought that the child was the flesh and blood of Xuanyuanjing's grandfather.

Many years later, her grandmother foresaw what would happen in the future, and knew that Xuanyuan and Xifeng would fight each other, so she sent her mother to Xifeng to marry Shen Zhiyong after her age.

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng didn't continue to talk, but Shen Jingshu knew that the reason for her mother to marry Shen Zhiyong was to give birth to her.

She met Murong Li again, got to know each other, promised each other, and then waited until the day when the two countries met in battle, she could use Murong Li's hand to kill Xuanyuan Jing, and her grandmother would avenge the bloody murder of her husband.

Shen Jingshu's heart was a little confused.

revenge?

To be honest, after knowing the whole story, she has no intention of revenge at all.

She has never met her grandfather, and her grandmother did not give her any kindness in nurturing her. She really does not have the kind of hatred for Xuanyuanjing's grandfather and even him.

However, if she stood in the position of the people of Xifeng and Murong Li, she would be right to hope that Xuanyuan Jing would not end well.

Once Xuanyuan Jing died, there would be no more wars between the two countries, no more Xifeng soldiers would shed blood and die, and the people of Xifeng would no longer be displaced.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jingshu tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I'll take this parchment first."

Zhao Cheng said "Yes", restored the dagger, and walked towards her with the dagger and parchment.

"This dagger, you should keep it by your side for self-defense."

She responded and put away the parchment and dagger.

"Where does Big Brother Zhao live now? If you don't have a place to stay, why don't you just stay in this mansion."

"It's all up to you to arrange." Zhao Cheng said.

She smiled, "Okay then, you can sit down in the room and rest for a while, and I'll get someone to arrange a place for you."

"Yeah." Zhao Cheng deserved to be refreshed.

She smiled, got up and went out of the courtyard, and immediately went to the housekeeper, asking him to clear out another clean room.
