At this moment, Qin Xiao couldn't help but look at Li Chengqing, and they both saw a look of surprise in the other's eyes.
The Master made a deal with the Great Heavenly Master Yuan Fengjing?
"Master, according to what you said, the Great Heavenly Master has always been paying attention to the situation in Yuhua Palace?" Qin Xiao asked.
The Master said: "Although Yuan Fengjing has deep roots in love, he is not a person who does not distinguish between good and evil. After all, he and his disciples are also receiving salary from the Tang Dynasty, and the late emperor has always respected him, so Yuan Fengjing also treats the Tang Dynasty.
I have a grateful heart.”
Qin Xiao thought that although Yuan Fengjing was an infatuated person, he gave the late emperor a big cuckold. Speaking of which, he did owe the late emperor a debt.
"He originally didn't want to interfere with the affairs of the palace, but the end of the late emperor's life was approaching, so Yuan Fenjing didn't want to see the late emperor cut off his heirs." The master said: "He knew that Yuhua was pregnant with the late emperor's dragon seed, so he secretly sent him
People from Yutiantai protected him. And according to what he said, he had personally told Xiahou not to poison Yuhua’s mother and son. But he only guarded against Xiahou, but not against Prince Qing, let alone Prince Qing to use the imperial physician to poison Yuhua.
Poison."
Qin Xiao looked sternly and asked: "Can the Great Heavenly Master question Xia Hou afterwards?"
"He did go to Xiahou, but Xiahou swore that the fire poison had nothing to do with her." The master said: "It was precisely because Xiahou knew that Xiuhua had been poisoned and was afraid of Yuan Fengjing, so she did not cause any trouble to Xiu from now on.
Hua. After all, in her opinion, Hua and her son are certain to die, and there is no need to take action anymore."
Qin Xiao said: "Does she know that it was Li Chengqing who poisoned her?"
"That Dr. Shen didn't do anything after he poisoned Yu Hua?
How long did it take before he suddenly died suddenly?" The master sighed: "And at that time, few people could have thought that it was King Qing who had done this. Yuan Fengjing actually gathered people in Yutiantai, secretly trying to develop an antidote to the fire poison.
, but failed. When Xiuhua gave birth to a child, he finally appeared and knew that I had saved the child. If he wanted to eradicate the problem, he only needed to tell Xiahou the truth, and Xiahou sent Wei Wuya to join forces with him in the palace.
You can kill me."
Qin Xiao thought that although the Master was great, one against two would definitely lose when faced with the two great masters, the Great Heavenly Master and Wei Wuya.
"It turns out that the child is really alive." Li Chengqing looked complicated and sighed: "What kind of deal did you make with Yuan Fenjing?"
The master said: "Yuan Fengying is willing to help conceal the truth that the child is still alive, and will arrange the scene so that no one will suspect it. But he hopes that after the death of the late emperor, Xiahou can sit on the throne and rule the world for twenty years!"
Qin Xiao and Li Chengqing both changed their expressions.
"Xiahou's long-cherished wish is to rule the world as a woman." The master sighed softly: "At that time, Yuan Fengjing, not to mention helping Xiahou obtain the throne, even if Xiahou wanted his life, he would not hesitate to sacrifice it."
"What an idiot!" Li Chengqing sneered, "I don't know how such a stupid person became a great master."
Qin Xiao said lightly: "Perhaps it was because of his stubbornness and undivided attention that he became a great master." He thought that becoming a great master was indeed omnipotent. The great heavenly master was actually able to do anything for the woman he loved.
The throne as a gift.
"So you used Li Tang's power to deal with him.
Yi?" Li Chengqing stared at the Master and said, "Do you promise to let that Demon Queen sit on the throne?"
The master stared at Li Chengqing and asked: "If it were you, what choice would you make?"
The corners of Li Chengqing's mouth twitched, but Qin Xiao frowned.
The Great Celestial Master Qin Xiao met was certainly different from the Great Celestial Master back then. With twenty more years of experience and cultivation, Yuan Fengjing's state of mind must be very different from that of twenty years ago.
From the master's tone, we can also know that Yuan Fengging was indeed infatuated with Xiahou and could not extricate himself, and was willing to sacrifice everything for Xiahou.
At that time, the master wanted to protect the prince. Once he rejected Yuan Fengjing, he would probably not be able to leave the inner palace.
After all, if the Master rescues the prince, that prince will definitely become the biggest threat to Xia Hou.
The most important thing is that if the master leaves the palace and gets together with Li Chengqing, it will have fatal consequences for Xiahou.
Li Chengqing already had a butcher to help him, and he also won over the Taoist Master. Once the Master also joined forces with Li Chengqing, Li Chengqing would have three great masters to help him, which would naturally form an advantage over Xiahou who only had two great masters. This was of course a result that Xiahou did not want to see.
As Xia Hou's best friend, Yuan Fenjing certainly did not want such a situation to occur.
Therefore, once the master rejected Yuan Fenjing's proposal, in order to avoid the most serious situation, Yuan Fenjing would probably block the master in the palace, preventing him and the young prince from leaving the palace.
"Yuan Fengjing proposed the twenty-year agreement just because he felt that after twenty years, Xiahou had enjoyed the glory of ruling the world for twenty years, and the prince had grown up and could take on the great responsibility of governing the world." Master said.
: "He promised me,
After twenty years, Xiahou will be asked to return the world to Li Tang. During these twenty years, the prince can stay away from the court and hide among the people." Looking at Qin Xiao, his eyes softened: "You can only grow up among the people.
Knowing the various conditions of the people's livelihood and knowing what the people want, after taking back the world in this way, you will also know how to be a ruler!"
Although the Master did not say it directly, Qin Xiao knew that what Fan Zhong said before was indeed true.
The gray-robed man who handed over the prince to the embroidered messengers Zhong Chengan and Fan Zhong, if nothing else, seemed to be the master.
Although Li Chengqing was extremely shrewd, he still couldn't connect the prince with Qin Xiao at this moment, but he said with an angry look on his face: "So with just one word from him, you will really hand over the world to the Demon Queen for twenty years? This
It's Li Tang's empire, what qualifications do you have to trade with it? Yes, you said before that the late emperor left an imperial edict, why didn't you obey it?"
The master looked at Li Chengqing, with a look of pity in his eyes, and said: "Prince Qing, what you have done in the past twenty years by pretending to die is extremely generous and beyond the capabilities of a human being. To be honest, with your talent
Indeed, you are not even inferior to the late emperor. In fact, I did have the idea back then that if the late emperor really passed away suddenly, among the Li family, you are really the most suitable person to stabilize the overall situation. But you plotted to kill Jiehua's mother and son,
How can you be the master of a human being with such a vicious heart and such a vicious heart? When I saw the late emperor, the late emperor also took out the edict and indeed asked me to assist you in ascending the throne. If those things hadn't happened before, maybe I would have
I would really do this last thing for the late emperor
thing."
"Did you tell the late emperor the truth?" Li Chengqing had already understood.
The master said calmly: "It concerns his bloodline, how could I hide such a big thing from you? After he took out the edict, I thought about it again and again, and finally told the late emperor the truth about you sending someone to poison him. The late emperor
After learning about this, he was extremely calm and burned the edict with his own hands, and said that your virtue is far from enough to become the king of all peoples."
Li Chengqing closed his eyes and said after a moment: "Then can you tell the late emperor about your betrayal of Li Tang and the transaction with Yuan Fenjing?"
The master looked calm, nodded slightly and said: "Of course I won't hide it. The late emperor was relieved to hear that the prince not only survived, but also left the capital, and passed away peacefully!"
After a period of silence, Li Chengqing finally asked again: "Where is that child now? Xiahou has been on the throne for twenty years. Will Xiahou really return the country to that child?"
"Yuan Fengjing set up a maze to make Xiahou and everyone think that Yuhua's mother and son had passed away." The master said slowly: "But I have already taken the child out of the palace and handed it over to a reliable person. That person used himself to
He always protected the prince for the rest of his life. But because he was planted with two kinds of highly toxic poisons, the child was already eroded by the poison in his belly. Fortunately, most of the poison was borne by him. Although the child was poisoned by
The cold poison was corroding, but there was no fear of life. Moreover, the old man specially taught the guardian how to use silver needles to overcome the poison, which could relieve the child's pain when he had an attack. For more than ten years, they lived in seclusion in a remote village and were never far away.
, and I always keep in touch with that person
I kept in touch and was always very concerned about the child’s situation.”
Qin Xiao looked at the master and asked, "Does the master know the palace maid Song Hui?"
"She is a maid in the palace of Xiuhua." The master said, "She has been waiting by Xiuhua's side. She has a gentle temperament, good moral character, and is loyal to Xiuhua. She is deeply loved by Xiuhua. When Xiuhua gave birth to her son, she
It was Song Hui who was waiting at the side. Due to the special circumstances that year, when Yuhua gave birth, she could not recruit a stable woman, so the maid named Song Hui who delivered the baby was the palace maid named Song Hui. It was she who personally bathed the prince for the first time, and
After watching the old man take away the prince with his own eyes. In addition, Yuan Fengging arranged the scene for the aftermath, Song Hui also helped, and she gave a testimony according to Yuan Fengging's instructions, so Xiahou believed that the dead baby that Yuan Fengging brought into the palace was the prince."
Qin Xiao clenched his hands into fists, his eyes turned red, and murmured: "That's it, that's it!"
"Xiahou originally wanted to kill Song Hui to silence her." The master said, "Fortunately, Yuan Fenjing saved her, and Song Hui has kept secret about the truth since then."
Qin Xiao thought that Song Hui had indeed contributed a lot, but she was not tight-lipped. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Baoping learned the truth about the prince's life from Song Hui's mouth. Song Hui even reported the birthmark on the prince's body.
I also told Su Baoping.
But this is understandable.
Empress Yuhua came from the Su family of Hailing Marquis, and after the Su family was annihilated, Su Baoping was the survivor who escaped death. Su Baoping easily found Song Hui as a member of the family of Empress Yuhua. After Song Hui confirmed it, she revealed
It’s true, but it’s also caused by affection.
"Although she is a maid, she also has a loyal and righteous heart." Husband
Zi stared at Qin Xiao and said, "Don't forget her kindness to you!"
