Life

He Xiangshan's forehead suddenly jumped, and then he calmed down and said, "Let Jiang read history books carefully. You should know that in all dynasties, the kings of different surnames who have military power have been valued by the emperor, are also responsible for the emperor's suspicion and defense. If you are not careful, you will end up with the destruction of all the clans."

"If the Zhenbei clan holds heavy troops, our He Mansion should not be too close to him. The He family is a large clan and is already prominent enough. If they become in-laws, it will be like cooking oil in a fire. If you are not careful, it will be more cost-effective."

He Lingjiang knocked his chess piece at his fingertips, and nodded after hearing this: "What Grandpa said is reasonable."

He Xiangshan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to raise his hand to continue making moves, but he heard her continue, "How come I think the reason why Grandpa kept me away from the Zhenbei clan is not as simple as you said?"

He Xiangshan couldn't help but breathe, and smiled and said, "What else can Jiang think?"

He Lingjiang put down the dark man in his hand, sat upright and looked at He Xiangshan and said, "Grandma's reason can naturally convince people's hearts. However, your attitude towards the Zhenbei clan is not just not to marry."

"Daughter, if it weren't for the saint's order, let me and Pei Shizi investigate the affairs of the Northern Divine Palace together, you would have wished that your daughter and the entire He family would stay away from Pei Shizi and have nothing to do with the Zhenbei clan."

Although the Zhenbei clan had heavy troops in his hands, he had the capital to arouse the emperor's defense. However, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhenbei clan has been guarding the northern land for decades, and has been dedicated and loyal. He has never had any other thoughts, which has only aroused the emperor's suspicion.

"To this day..." She lowered her voice and continued: "Although the person above cannot trust the Zhenbei clan as completely as the previous emperor, he is not a short-sighted and narrow-minded person. As long as the Zhenbei clan is content with the north and does not have any other intentions, he will not take action."

"Whether Pei Shizi came to Yingdu, whether it was for the matter of the Divine Palace or the Prince of Zhenbei happened to stay under his nose, the saint was happy to see it. The powerful and powerful people around him did not say that they had a good relationship with him, but they also had the intention of making a good relationship."

"Why are you, Grandpa, who is alone, avoiding the Pei family like a snake or a scorpion?"

He Xiangshan's avoidance to the Pei family and the Zhenbei clan was definitely not as simple as he said.

As early as Linchuan, He Lingjiang knew that there was an old thing in the He family, which made the emperor suspicious and suspicious. Therefore, in order to seek stability, he lived in the countryside for so many years without leaving.

Now, since the emperor summoned the He family to return, he should be disregardless of past grudges. Even if he has made use of the He family, as long as He follows the emperor's orders and sticks to his own affairs from now on, he should be safe.

But He Xiangshan was cautious everywhere, afraid that He would be hidden by birds, afraid that her light would be too strong, and afraid that she would get too close to Pei You.

From this point of view, the factors that caused the emperor's suspicion have never faded away, and are very likely to be detonated inadvertently, even causing a catastrophe to He family.

And He Xiangshan avoided Pei You so much...

He Lingjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was only one possibility, that is, once the He family got too close to the Zhenbei clan and was too deeply involved, it would definitely arouse the emperor's vigilance and even ask him to attack He family.

Listening to her guess in her heart, He Xiangshan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ling Jiang, I don't know if you are so smart, or not..."

He Ling and Jiang Qing smiled and said: "Whether good or not, just look at what angle the grandfather looks at. Since my daughter has guessed this, grandfather, you might as well inform me of the truth..."

"You should know that if my daughter had the intention of exploring her life, she would not return empty-handed."

Only these days have passed, He Xiangshan is unwilling to say about this matter, and intends to hide it from her and the people in the He Mansion.

She had no intention of spying on He's secret affairs, and she was busy with the affairs of the divine palace, so she put it aside for the time being.

But to this day, the He family has attracted more and more attention in Yingdu.

It is better to make it clear that such old things that are very likely to bring disaster to He at any time.

"Ling Jiang..." He Xiangshan opened his mouth and said a few times. He was about to say it, but he felt that the carriage paused slightly and stopped.

"Mr. Master, Seventh Lady, you're home." The coachman shouted to remind him through the car door.

He Xiangshan felt relieved and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

He Xiangshan stood up, leaned over and brushed his sleeves slightly: "I'm home, get off the bus first."

He Lingjiang Youyou smiled, threw the chess piece he played with in his hand into the chess basket, and then stood up: "I will go to the study with my grandfather."

He Xiangshan, who was bowing and getting out of the car, sighed when he heard this. If this child doesn’t get the answer today, he will probably not give up.

As she said, if she had made up her mind to investigate, with her current mentality, the matter would still not be hidden.

"Then come on..." He Xiangshan sighed helplessly, smoothed his clothes and walked towards the mansion.

He Lingjiang followed closely behind.

After retreating from the guards, only He Xiangshan, He Ling and the father and daughter of He Ling were speechless for a moment, and their quiet aura flowed silently in the room.

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at He Xiangshan, who was silent and silent, and looked down and didn't know what he was thinking: "Grandma asked my daughter to come. Could it be that he asked me to accompany you to silently think?"

"You..." He Xiangshan sighed quietly, and then, as if he had made up his mind, took out a wooden box the size of a palm from the secret wall under the desk, stood up and handed it to He Lingjiang.

"Open and see..."

He Lingjiang lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden box in the palm of his hand. Inside was a small jade pendant, warm and transparent, with a phoenix flying high with spreading its wings on it.

The jade pendant is stringed with vermilion silk thread, perhaps because it has been flowing over the years, and the silk thread has lived up to its brightness.

She looked at the jade pendant carefully, rubbing her fingertips as if something was strange. She turned it over and saw a small word "后" engraved on the back of the phoenix.

With a slightly frowning of his eyebrows, He Lingjiang looked at He Xiangshan inexplicably.

He Xiangshan looked at the phoenix spreading his wings, his heart sank slightly, and he slowly said, "Ling Jiang, this is your jade pendant, which was handed to me by your grandmother before he left."

He Lingjiang was about to speak, but he heard He Xiangshan continue, "As for this jade pendant... it was carved by your grandfather himself."

He Lingjiang couldn't help but pause, "You grandpa?"

So, wasn’t He Qi’s wife born to He Xiangshan?

She looked down at the phoenix carved vividly on the jade pendant. It was a phoenix that could not be used by the royal family. Thinking of Prince Yiwen and his wife who died in the palace chaos fifteen years ago, He Lingjiang knew it.

Sure enough, He Xiangshan heard the solemn voice of his heart: "Your surname is Xiao. Before you were born, your grandmother and grandmother planned to do so. If it was a daughter, he would name it, and his small name was Ling Jiang.

"Crown Prince Yiwen is your biological father, my daughter of He, and the official concubine of Prince Yiwen is your biological mother."

"Ling Jiang, you are from the orthodox royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
