Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment and sighed softly: "After all, who do you belong to, Dongchang, the Prince or the King of Qin?"
Apart from these forces, she couldn't figure out who would start planning and lurking around her five years ago.
Grandma Wang looked at Ming Lanruo sincerely: "Miss, we are neither from the Dongchang nor from the Crown Prince or the King of Qin. I just ask you to listen to what I have to say for the sake of helping you in the past five years.
talk!"
Ming Lanruo looked at her expressionlessly: "Get up and talk, I'll listen."
These words made her curious, besides those few, who else would send people to lurk around her.
Chen Ning immediately stepped forward and helped Grandma Wang up.
Grandma Wang looked at Ming Lanruo with complex eyes and sighed: "We are members of the Xiao family, the remnants of the Xiao family's Red Blood Legion."
Ming Lanruo's hand holding the cup paused, and her eyes widened slightly: "What?!"
Grandma Wang looked at Ming Lanruo and said softly.
The Xiao family is an ancient family, which can be traced back to the Langya Xiao family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The family is profoundly educated.
More than a hundred years ago, the Yuan Dynasty established by the Northern Mongolian Tatars had come to an end. In troubled times, war broke out, and the heroes of the Central Plains competed for supremacy in the world.
The head of the Xiao family at that time was not only a strategist, but also a wise man who recognized heroes. He single-handedly founded the Red Blood Legion and assisted Emperor Taizu of the Tianming Dynasty to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the previous dynasty and restore the Han family to the world.
From then on, the Xiao family ranked first in Tianming.
The successive heads of the Xiao family led the Red Blood Legion to become the most powerful pillar of the Tianming Dynasty, and no one dared to offend Tianming.
The emperors of the Tianming Dynasty were also pretty good. Their monarchs and ministers did not trust them, and they did not do anything like cunning rabbits killing good ministers and famous generals.
"But the variable in this world is that we never know when an accident will happen." Grandma Wang sighed.
She continued: "More than twenty years ago, the Hou Jin people and the Northern Mongols suddenly joined forces, and their army approached the northern border. Xiao Shuai led the Red Blood Army to fight against the enemy outside the Great Wall in the northern border. Who would have known...
.”
"Unexpectedly, at this time, the two sons and one daughter of the late emperor suddenly encountered a landslide when they were worshiping their ancestors. The late emperor suddenly heard such bad news while he was ill, and he immediately vomited blood and died. The late queen also died as a martyr, and Concubine Mei became a monk. Today's
His Majesty Emperor Ming was ordered to inherit the throne when he was in danger?"
Minglan accepted the words crisply.
Grandma Wang frowned: "This is just what the court says today. In fact..."
"Actually, it was your Majesty who killed several princes and princesses of the late emperor, instigated a palace coup, forced the death of the late emperor and the late empress, and also hunted down Concubine Mei and her prince who were living in seclusion in the mountains." Ming Lanruo said calmly.
Grandma Wang was stunned and couldn't help but wonder: "Master Ming Guo is a very cautious person. He should never tell you these secrets. How do you know this?"
She had the impression that Ming Lanruo had been living in seclusion in Prince Mourning's Mansion, and that he had some patience and the ability to fight back.
But she has never participated in government affairs, how could she know so much?
Ming Lanruo smiled secretly: "After all, I know."
Grandma Wang, Chen Ning, and Zhou Rugu glanced at each other, feeling that this young lady was hiding something secretly, and that she had a little more respect.
Grandma Wang said: "In the second year after the great changes in the imperial court, the Xiao family's eldest, second, fourth and fifth masters, together with the only young master who was seventeen years old, all died in the battle in the north. Marshal Gong died of serious injuries, and the old lady
You couldn't bear the bad news and passed away."
"The only adult male of the Xiao family, the third master of the Xiao family, accompanied the remaining old, weak, women and children of the Xiao family to return to their hometown to support the deceased. They planned to bury the men who died in the battlefield, but encountered a landslide on the way. All the men, women, and children of the Xiao family were buried.
There is no one alive at the foot of the mountain!"
As Grandma Wang spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Heaven is unfair. The wife who married into the Duke's palace was the Marshal's only daughter, but she was frail and sick. You died within three years of giving birth to the eldest lady."
From then on, Marshal Xiao's mansion, which had been famous all over the world for hundreds of years and was full of loyal people, was completely annihilated in the Tianming Dynasty.
Ming Lanruo looked solemn as she looked at Grandma Wang, who was crying, and Chen Ning, who had scarlet eyes.
She sighed deeply: "If I am not wrong, Xiao Shuai... I am afraid that my grandfather died not at the hands of the Xijin people and the Northern Mongolians, but because of His Majesty's plan."
inside."
The young Xiao family boy helped Ling return to his hometown, but he encountered a landslide... This chapter has been completed!
