"The second lady risked her life by lighting the explosives and was injured." the soldier replied.

"Did the Second Madam light the explosive?" Su Luocheng's energy suddenly perked up, his eyes flickering to hide the surprise in his heart.

In other words, it was the wife of the prime minister who blew up Wushan, so he also had merit in Suluo City.

Su Luocheng didn't care about the second lady's injury, the first thing he thought of was his interests.

"Yes," the soldier replied, "the second lady was unconscious on the spot and her life was in danger. She has been escorted to the city. Princess Nan is accompanying the second lady."

"I know, you go down first." Su Luocheng said.

"It seems that this Wutuo is quite thoughtful in his work and has a strong ability to respond to crises. He knows how to take advantage of your wife." Ximen Yi said. On the way, he had already asked Suluo City about the funeral plan. Knowing that Suluo

The city's role in this matter.

The second lady's lighting of the explosives must have something to do with Utuo, otherwise she wouldn't have the courage, not to mention when she prepared the flint.

Although the situation was obviously unfavorable, Wu Tuo was able to turn the tide. Although the plan was deviated, he was still able to achieve the expected results. Ximen Yi also had to admire Wu Tuo's ability, as if he was worthy of being Ximen Hao's nemesis.

.

Ximen Yi and Suluo City did not stay much and rushed back to the city.

Ximen Hao took Su Ranhua to a canyon.

This canyon is located on the main road leading to the capital. It is very narrow and is surrounded by towering mountains on both sides. If there is a war, it is a good combat pass.

Ximen Hao took Su Ranhua and rode a horse for a stroll in the canyon, being blown by the biting wind that penetrated the canyon.

"This is the place where my grandfather and uncle died." Ximen Hao said, his voice low, as if he was recalling the fierce battle that year.

Su Ranhua listened quietly. Since Ximen Hao brought her here, she could also be a listener and learn about the past events of this era.

"Back then, my father took several of our princes to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum. When they were passing here, they were suddenly ambushed by rebels. My maternal uncle and other generals joined the battle to protect my father and fought against the rebels.

Suddenly, several rebels rushed through the barrier and attacked the car we were riding in. At that time, my grandfather rushed over and blocked the car, blocking several long swords with his body.

"Ximen Hao said slowly.

It turns out that the imperial mausoleum is outside the capital. Su Ranhua understood clearly. Hearing what Ximen Hao said, his grandfather was really desperate!

"Grandpa died in front of my eyes, and then my uncle. In order to resist the arrows shot at my father, he threw his whole body on him, protecting him to the death." Ximen Hao continued, "In the end, he rebelled.

After being eradicated, my father took us back to the palace safely. Since my grandfather and uncle sacrificed their lives to protect him, my father decided to make his mother the queen. However, the two leaders of the Bai family were dead and there was no one who could be promoted and reused, so he only accepted the throne.

I received a generous financial reward. My aunt was young and widowed, and she walked into Buddhism with despair, leaving behind Yiyi who was only eight years old."

"Your status with the Queen was obtained by the death of your grandfather and uncle, so you love Bai Yiyi very much. This is what you want to explain to me, right?" Su Ranhua said, hearing such past events, she

She was not surprised. She had heard about this from Liu'er when she first arrived at Beiwang Mansion. It was not a fearful secret, but rather the glory of the Bai family.

"This is just the surface that everyone knows." Ximen Hao chuckled to himself and his eyes darkened, "Actually, my grandfather and uncle were deliberately pushed in front of my father to serve as shields."

"What?" Su Ranhua was slightly startled. If they died unjustly, then Bai Yiyi would be a bit pitiful.

"Everything is just a way for my father to eradicate the Bai family. The ambush that day was also arranged by my father. The traitor has changed his appearance and is living a leisurely life in seclusion among the people." Ximen Hao spoke very slowly, as if he was speaking with difficulty.

Reveal an unknown secret.

Ximen Hao said this, and Su Ranhua believed that Ximen Xianchu's attitude of not allowing the Bai family to come forward and his careful thinking can prove that he may do this. But what is the purpose of doing this?

Su Ranhua didn't say anything. She knew that since Ximen Hao told Ximen Xianchu's conspiracy, he would tell the whole truth.

"The circumstances in which my grandfather and uncle died were something I realized after I grew up and became familiar with martial arts. They were not willing to be shields, but had no choice but to do so. And I also found out the reason why my father did this. He

It's revenge on the Bai family." Ximen Hao said.

"Remember the death of Concubine Rong?" Ximen Hao smiled solemnly, "Actually, it was my grandfather who wronged Concubine Rong. In order to make his mother the queen, he designed to deal with Concubine Rong and let her die unjustly. Father found out

After the truth came out, I was afraid of the power of the Bai family at the time, so I didn't tell the truth. Instead, I planned to kill my grandfather and uncle in this canyon, and also gave them the high hat of sacrificing their lives to save them.

The ministers were able to quietly eliminate the Bai family's influence in the court."

"This is the balancing act adopted by the father to not only allow the mother to become the queen as she wishes, but not to give the Bai family the opportunity to enjoy the title of king's heir, causing them to gradually fail miserably, and a queen who has lost her background rules the Sixth Palace, which is very important to the father.

It is the safest for the emperor. This is the reason why the mother can settle down as the queen. It is not how kind the father is to the Bai family or how good he is to her, but because the father allows her to sit in this position, and Concubine Shu,

Although the power of my mother's family is getting stronger and stronger, there will be no chance of replacing my mother and queen, and my father will not allow a powerful person to be the head of the state."

So that's it! Su Ranhua suddenly realized that he really bothered to guess what happened in this court. No wonder Ximen Xianchu didn't let Ximen Hao marry Bai Yiyi, it turned out that he had such a deep prejudice against the Bai family.

But - Su Ranhua suddenly remembered that Ximen Wan had asked her to investigate about Concubine Rong. Before she could investigate, Ximen Hao had already admitted that Concubine Rong's death was related to the queen. So how should she tell Ximen Wan?

"Don't think about snitching. I'm just telling you the truth. If there is no evidence, I won't admit it when the time comes." Ximen Hao lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ranhua's blinking eyelashes and said coldly.

Su Ranhua paused slightly. It seems that Ximen Hao knew about her and Ximen Wan?

"Concubine Rong was not completely innocent back then," Ximen Hao continued, "This is how the fights in the harem were. If my grandfather had not taken action, it would have been the queen mother who died in vain. Concubine Rong had already prepared crane crown red for Ximen Wan.

She would not hesitate to kill her own daughter after she framed her mother."

Su Ranhua only felt a chill on her back. She was leaning in Ximen Hao's arms, but it was extremely cold. Is the family affection she has always longed for so cruel in reality? This is the case in Su Luo City, and the same is true for Concubine Rong.
