"His secret?" Su Tong was startled and immediately became interested. Taking advantage of the man's hypnotic state, he continued to ask, "What is his secret?"
If we could get Xuanyuan Jin’s unknown secrets, wouldn’t it be easier to bring him down?
"This servant is the wet nurse of the Second Prince. She has watched the Second Prince grow up..." The man looked ahead blankly, his brain running under Su Tong's urging, and he said everything that came to mind like a machine, "
When he was a child, he was not like this..."
Su Tong frowned and did not interrupt her words. She listened quietly. Even Xuanyuan Shuo, who was sobbing just now, couldn't help but calm down. He opened his bright black eyes and looked at this seriously.
direction--
The wet nurse's words were intermittent, and even the order of the words was confusing, but people could basically understand her meaning: Xuanyuan Jin's mother and concubine died early, and the wet nurse had been taking care of him since he was a child. When he was a child, he was also simple and naive, and he did not compete with others.
Right or wrong, because of such a personality, the emperor has never taken him seriously!
At that time, the emperor valued the eldest prince and regarded him as the future king in his heart. However, the eldest prince was obedient in front of the emperor, but in private he was arrogant and domineering, bullying his brothers and sisters, and even ridiculed Xuanyuan Jin in all kinds of ways, which annoyed the young boy at the time.
Xuanyuan Jin fought with him. Although Xuanyuan Jin was seriously injured in the end, the emperor still favored the eldest prince and criticized Xuanyuan Jin harshly, which left a shadow in his heart.
From then on, Xuanyuan Jin vaguely understood: In the palace, there is no so-called human kindness and fairness, but only the supreme power! Only by climbing to the pinnacle of power can you dominate the world and live as you like!
Just when he started to enter this power struggle, the eldest prince got the news from nowhere and came to question Xuanyuan Jin, saying that he was not the child of the emperor, but the child of his dead mother and concubine who had an affair with someone.
Bastard.
At that time, Xuanyuan Jin was only twelve years old, and the nanny happened to be nearby. She listened in surprise and saw that the eldest prince presented various so-called confessions as evidence. She was so frightened that her face turned pale! If the emperor knew about this, it would be very difficult.
Beheaded!
The eldest prince looked at the skinny Xuanyuan Jin with a proud look on his face, and mocked him wantonly. He put away the "evidence" and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Jin. He opened the backpack he had played with that day, and suddenly
The poisonous snake trapped inside fell on the face of the eldest prince, and finally the eldest prince was poisoned and died...
"Did the eldest prince die of poisoning?" When Su Tong heard this, she couldn't help but feel stunned. She inevitably felt that the eldest prince was a little too aggressive. Xuanyuan Jin was quite pitiful back then and was pushed to the forefront of the news many times! Think about it.
After a while, Su Tong continued to ask, "Then why don't many people in the palace know the cause of the eldest prince's death?"
When she first got married, she curiously asked Xuanyuan Hao once, but he didn't tell her. Later, she asked a palace official at random and she said she didn't know. At that time, she felt strange, but afterwards she didn't know.
I didn't take it to heart, this time I finally met someone who knew the real inside story!
"The Second Prince and I dealt with it very well. We didn't let anyone know. Everyone even thought that he was missing and became an unsolved mystery in the palace..." The wet nurse murmured, telling the truth about that year.
Restored bit by bit, "Only the emperor can probably guess a little bit, but the emperor doesn't care. The emperor originally wanted a truly strong man to ascend the throne. At that time, he valued the second prince. Later, when the third prince grew up, the third prince had
There were many things that the second prince did not have, so the emperor changed his mind..."
Su Tong nodded, at least she figured it out: why Xuanyuan Jin keeps targeting Xuanyuan Hao like this!
"Then is the second prince the emperor's child?" Su Tong thought for a while, but couldn't help but gossip.
This incident took the life of the eldest prince back then, which shows that it is really not a trivial matter! Is this a groundless frame-up, or is it true?
"I don't know, no one has ever said anything about this, and I keep telling myself to forget it..." She kept telling herself that the second prince is the emperor's child, and there should be no doubt!
Besides, so what if it's just suspicion? His mother-in-law is gone, and now even the emperor is gone. There is no proof, so what can she, a little palace maid, prove?
"Alas..." Su Tong shook her head helplessly. After listening to this story, she couldn't help but smell the hardship of human nature.
It seems that Xuanyuan Jin cannot be entirely blamed! His childhood was indeed too gloomy. From a psychological perspective, his current fanatical pursuit of power and the resulting twisted psychology are all
It makes sense that she should sympathize with him...
With a "pop" sound, Su Tong snapped her fingers neatly, causing the wet nurse to regain consciousness instantly.
"Don't kill me, don't..." She waved her hands and spoke in panic, but was interrupted by Su Tong in the middle of her sentence.
"Hurry up and run away!" Su Tong took out a piece of broken silver from her arms. She couldn't help but feel pity for this woman who was a wet nurse. "There are many foreign envoys who came to see you today. No one will recognize you when you go out from the palace gate."
Come out. Walk as far as you can, and don't worry about the muddy water here!"
It was only then that she discovered that the "water" in the palace was so dirty! And she had to step in...
"You..." The wet nurse looked at Su Tong in astonishment, and then glanced blankly at the silver in her hand. After a while, she finally came to her senses, glanced at Su Tong gratefully, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
, rushed out toward the door.
"ah!"
But she didn't expect that as soon as she rushed to the door, an arrow pierced the air and struck her, instantly piercing her heart and causing her to fall out. The bloody silver fragments in her hand were thrown into the air.
Brilliant arc...
"Someone has assassinated the Sixteenth Prince!" A loud cry came from outside, "Come and save him!"
Although he shouted to save people, the sharp arrows shot in one after another, making a "whoosh" sound in the air. Su Tong quickly grabbed Xuanyuan Shuo and hid inside. As soon as he raised his head, the corners of his eyes
But suddenly he caught a glimpse of a small flame from the corner of his eye, and he screamed in his heart - Damn it! He actually fired an arrow with fire instead!
