It's no secret that Guan Duwei and Wang Xu taught captain Qing's martial arts in the imperial mausoleum. Xiao Heng had heard about it for a long time.

It's just that he didn't expect that one day he would pretend to be shangguanqing.

Wang Xu's hidden danger must be solved, not to kill him so that he can't come out and disturb their plans.

Gu Chengfeng curled his mouth and patted his chest.

Who else can do such an important thing besides him?

"Remember to give me the silver! You... You take it first! I'll get back to you! "

Gu Chengfeng stressed that when he finished his two liang silver, where did he turn in and where did he turn out.

The martial arts are not very good. The lightness skill is really unique. It didn't disturb the dead in the National Palace.

"Remember to pick up the clearance." Xiao Heng said, looking at his back.

Xiao Heng looked at Gu's back and was in a half empty state. He seemed to make complaints about his vomit. Then he disappeared with his secret complaint in the hall of national teachers.

The room was quiet again.

Although so many things have happened, the time has not been long.

In just half an hour, he completed the identity transformation from Xiao Heng to shangguanqing, met the monarch and met the prince.

There is no way back. As soon as today passes, he is putting himself into the whirlpool of Shengdu's power. Everyone will know that he has come back.

There's more than one force spying on them.

But the whirlpool of Shengdu is destined to be bigger and bigger until all the people who have hurt them are swallowed up!

……

Duwei mansion is located in the outer court of Dayan palace. From the outside, you have to go through gaomen, fengtianmen and Duanmen.

Gu Chengfeng wandered outside Gao's door, wondering whether he was going to sneak in or wait here.

"Just now I forgot to ask if Wang Xu was in the court. If he had already left, I would have no result whether I was sneaking in or waiting for him outside."

"No, he should be. The monarch and Xiao Heng met. According to my understanding of Xiao Heng, there is nothing strange about the injury of the former grand daughter. Xiao Heng will also give the whole story something strange! Since the monarch trusted Wang Xu so much, he would certainly send Wang Xu to investigate the case. "

"And the scene of the crime is in the harem!"

Gu Chengfeng was deeply amazed by his wit: "how did I become so smart? It's me

Wang Xu is really investigating the case in the back palace. There is no clue to the case. The scene is very clean. Except for the trace of shangguanyan falling, it is the footprints left by her little maid when she came to look for it.

In addition, there are several footprints belonging to the eunuchs who came to move shangguanyan.

They have been cleared of suspicion.

"It seems that he is a master and knows lightness skill."

Wang Xu stood on the hillside, looked at the place where Guan Yan had fallen, and jumped.

This is a steep slope, but the slope wall is covered with vines, even if it is a random grasp can grasp one or two.

Wang Xu carefully investigated the scene for half an hour, and finally left with a calm face.

He is a layman. Although he was ordered to go to the harem to investigate the case, he could not walk in the harem in private. He followed Li Sande in the Zhonghe palace.

Li Sande didn't say much, but he followed in silence.

When they were about to leave the harem, a eunuch in his early thirties came to them.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Wang and Mr. Li? It's a coincidence He said hello with a smile.

Li San de slightly owed the body, very politely said: "Xu Gong."

This person, surnamed Xu and named Gao, is the red man around Han Guifei.

Xu Gao looked at Wang Xu with a smile, chatted and said, "is Mr. Wang here to investigate the case? I don't know if Lord Wang has eyes? "

"Not for the time being." Wang Xu said.

Xu Gao's eyes flitted a trace of loss: "like this."

Wang Xu said: "it may not be artificial. It may be just an accident."

Xu Gao sighed: "also, it's the important place in the back palace. Ordinary assassins don't have the courage or the ability to come in. Anyway, I hope Lord Wang can find out the truth as soon as possible, so as not to let the former lady get hurt in vain."

Wang Xu said, "nothing. I'll go first."

Xu Gao said with a smile, "Lord Wang, walk slowly."

Wang Xu went out of the harem.

Li sent him out of the Meridian Gate.

Walking on the green stone path of the former dynasty, Wang Xu slowly spread out his palm.

It's a silk thread.

Found in the brambles on the hillside.

If this silk thread does not come from shangguanyan's clothing material, it must belong to the murderer's clothing material!

……

Gu Jiao slept for a long time, but shangguanyan woke up first.

The effect of the anesthetic faded sharply, and her mind regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes and looked at the strange top of the tent in a trance. For a moment, she didn't know where she was.

"Awake?"

Xiao Heng came over, looked at her and said.

Today's Xiao Heng didn't wear a mask, and showed his appearance.

Shangguanyan looks at him straightforwardly, his mouth can't be closed.

After a while, she closed her eyes and said, "I'm dreaming."

He was the only person she could see in her dreams.

Xiao Heng sat down beside her bed and looked at her steadily: "does the wound hurt?"

"Does it hurt?" Shangguan Yan Zheng Zheng, "pain."

She's in pain all over. It's not a dream.

She Shua of open eyes, two eyes shine ground to see to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng smiles gently.

Shangguanyan suddenly embarrassed up, she can't move, only the eyes in the orbit a turn around.

Then, her ears turned red with visible speed.

Eh?

Xiao Heng was slightly shocked.

It's not like this when you are in Tianxiang Pavilion. You can see that Jiaojiao and I are not shy.

I thought you were as deep as my father.

Shangguanyan's wound is more than one, she was wrapped like a dumpling, she moved her fingers.

Xiao Heng saw it and asked her, "what are you going to take?"

"PAZI." She said.

Xiao Heng asked strangely, "what do you do with the handkerchief?"

Shangguanyan zhengse way: "cover face, I am shy."

Xiao Heng

"Jiaojiao and the national teacher have operated on you. The operation is very successful. Is there any discomfort?" Xiao Heng asked.

"No Shangguanyan said, looking at Gu Jiao on the small bed.

Xiao Heng followed her eyes and said, "she's asleep."

Shangguanyan put a light voice: "then we talk a little bit."

Xiao Heng smiles: "good."

Shangguanyan looked at his flash smile, and a trace of beauty passed through her eyes.

All of a sudden, however, she realized something, and her face changed slightly: "is this the National Palace? How can you... How can you come to the National Palace? "

Xiao Heng said calmly, "I've met the monarch and the prince. I told them that I'm shangguanqing."

Shangguanyan opens her mouth wide.

Xiao Heng continued: "I saw the portrait of shangguanqing."

In an instant, shangguanyan's eyes flashed countless complex emotions. She looked at Xiao Heng in a dazed way. She wanted to say it again and again, and finally turned it into a careful exploration: "do you know all about it?"

Xiao Heng nodded: "well."

Shangguanyan Leng Leng: "know - what?"

Xiao Heng said: "life experience."

Shangguanyan's eyes flashed again, but she soon calmed down: "how do you know?"

"I guess." Xiao Heng told the truth.

What she did in Tianxiang pavilion that day can tell us everything. What's more, what he's been experiencing all the time, what ye Qing has revealed, and even what Zhang Dequan called out that night, his "eldest grandson", are bringing him closer and closer to his own life.

When he saw the portrait of shangguanqing, this question finally had an answer.

He is shangguanyan's child.

It's just that he can't completely confirm his relationship with shangguanqing.

"Who is shangguanqing? My brother? "

"Well."

"Twin brother?"

"Mm-hmm!" A negative tone.

Xiao Heng opened his mouth: "then he is --"

Shangguanyan bit her lip and whispered, "Xiao Qing."

Xiao Heng is not surprised by this answer. The reason is that shangguanqing's birthday is Xiao Qing's birthday.

Xiao Heng and Xiao Qing were poisoned at the same time when they were in their infancy. There was only one antidote. In order for Xiao Heng to get the antidote, shangguanyan hid shangguanqing and told Xuanping that she had killed him.

It's not easy for Xuanping marquis to believe it. Shangguanyan doesn't want to talk about it.

Even shangguanyan's feigned death almost killed her.

Shangguanyan looked at Xiao Heng with a kind of nervous and uneasy eyes: "do you think I'm too cruel?"

In order to let his son get the antidote, he deprived Xiao Qing of the chance to live.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in those years. He is not her. I don't know what kind of struggle she experienced in her heart.

She just wants her son to live. Over the years, she is burdened with the debt to Xiao Qing and Xinyang, as well as the missing of her own flesh and blood. Maybe everyone in the world can accuse her of being cruel, but Xiao Heng, who lives by her cruel heart, can't.

"No Xiao Heng said, "how did you think of taking Xiao Qing away?"

Shangguanyan said in a low voice: "I want to take him back to the imperial palace to see if the imperial palace can cure him. You may ask me why I don't take you away to see if the National Palace can cure you. In fact... Even if I know the current situation and let me do it again, I will still make the same choice as before. "

Guoshidian is a retreat, not the best way.

She would rather be accused by thousands of people, would rather bear the name of a lifetime, or to be a selfish mother.

Let her bear all the charges and sufferings. Her ah Heng only lives well.

"Are you not afraid that Princess Xinyang will kill me to avenge her son?" Princess Xinyang is not a weak woman. She is also decisive. Of course, he doesn't accuse her of being naive. He just wants to know more about what she has experienced.

The good, the bad, the dangerous, the struggling, and the things he's missed over the years.

Shangguanyan said: "xuanpinghou won't let her know that her son was killed by me."

You really know my father.

He did lie to Princess Xinyang, saying that Xiao Qing was killed by the assassin.

Only later did Princess Xinyang know it at the instigation of someone with a heart.

But she didn't succeed in killing me. In the end, she carried me out of the fire.

Shangguanyan is very self reproach: "it's me who attracted those assassins, otherwise it won't poison you two."

Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment and decided to tell her: "those assassins were not brought by you, they were left by the people of the former Emperor. The person who poisoned Xiao Qing and me in those years was long Yingwei, who was left by the former Emperor of Zhao to my mother. The person they really wanted to poison was Xiao Qing. I was poisoned by their carelessness. "

This tragedy has nothing to do with shangguanyan. We can only blame the emperor.

And in a sense, fortunately shangguanyan took Xiao Qing, otherwise they would continue to poison Xiao Qing.

At that time, longyi was not there. Xuanping Marquis and Princess Xinyang did not suspect that they were on longyingwei's head. They were really defenseless.

Shangguanyan has been living in the guilt of Xiao Qing all these years. At first hearing the news, she can't believe it: "do you deliberately make up stories to comfort me?"

Xiao Heng shook his head: "I didn't, I can't make up this story."

The brain circuit of the former Emperor and that of the king of Dayan are both crazy and ruthless.

Princess Xinyang married Marquis Xuanping in order to prevent him from rebelling.

Once he was rebellious, Princess Xinyang would immediately let longyingwei kill him.

The emperor knew that Princess Xinyang couldn't get along with men. He didn't worry that Princess Xinyang would have love for Xuanping Marquis, but they were husband and wife after all. In case Xuanping Marquis used strong, Princess Xinyang would give birth to his flesh and blood.

Who can guarantee that Princess Xinyang will not be soft hearted because of her children?

So the former Emperor gave an order to longyingwei that even Princess Xinyang didn't know it - the children of Princess Xinyang and xuanpinghou couldn't stay.

According to Xiao Heng's observation for many years, Princess Xinyang is not soft hearted to Xuanping marquis. Now she stabs Xuanping Marquis with a knife, and her eyelids don't blink.

The late emperor really thought too much.

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious, harming others and themselves.

And there is another thing that the emperor was wrong about, that is, they did use the strong, but the strong was Xuanping marquis.

It's hard to look back.

Xiao Heng as like as two peas did not think about the entanglement between Princess Xinyang and Xuan Ping Hou. He gave another doubt in his heart: "but why is I exactly the same as Xiao Qing since he is not twins?"

He said, a little bit under the right eye painted on the tear mole, "even this mole are the same?"

Shangguan Yan said: "this is because... I changed his face."

Xiao Heng and Xiao Qing are half brothers. They do have some similarities in appearance. For example, their faces and noses are like Xuanping marquis.

Eyebrows and eyes are not like.

Xiao Qing is apricot eye flat eyebrow, looks gentle and weak, Xiao Heng is Rui Feng eye and slightly pick up the sword eyebrow, with a trace of heroism, but smile and especially warm heart cure.

That's why all the people who have met the young Marquis of zhaodu say that he is a young man who is as warm as jade and makes people feel like spring breeze.

But later, Xiao Heng had an accident and was exiled among the people. The smile on his face was less, and the warmth of his eyes disappeared.

He put on an invisible layer of sharp armor.

"In my early years, I didn't pay much attention to the problem of appearance, until I heard a servant whisper that the child didn't look like me at all. I didn't see it when I was a child, and the bigger it was, the less it looked like me. I'm in a hurry. The reason why the National Teacher hall is willing to treat Xiao Qing is that he is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If people can see that he is not, he can't continue to receive treatment. So I went to Zhaoguo and got your portraits. I made them look like you in places where they are not like you. "

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yandun said, "it was that time that you exposed your identity and let the prince know your existence."

Xiao Heng suddenly realized: "so it is."

So everything makes sense.

Xiao Heng touched the tear mole on his face. Shangguanqing painted it according to him. Now his tear mole is gone. Is he imitating shangguanqing or himself?

I can't laugh or cry.

"What's the matter?" Shangguanyan looked at him and asked.

Xiao Heng said, "my mole is gone."

At the beginning, in order not to let the group find him easily, Princess Xinyang burned the tear mole on his face after the fire.

He changed his face. His voice and body shape were different from before. In addition, there was no such thing as a tear mole. Even his father, Marquis Xuanping, had to work hard to confirm that he was him.

Shangguanyan said softly: "she is very kind to you."

The tone is happy, but also sad and lonely.

She missed it after all.

In his nineteen years of life, he never had her mark.

"Can I... Call you aheng?"

Even if she was executed in public in the Jinluan hall, she never lowered her head and begged.

But at this time, just ask if you can call you like this, you will use up all the humble in your heart.

Xiao Heng said, "you can call anything you want."

Can you call me——

Shangguanyan didn't say that.

She lowered her eyes and held back the sadness and bitterness in her heart.

I can't cry.

The descendants of Xuanyuan's family shed no tears. She didn't cry when she gave birth to a baby. She didn't cry when her bones were broken.

She doesn't cry.

Xiao Heng actually has many things to ask her, such as what happened last night, what happened more than ten years ago, and why she became a slave——

Xiao Heng looked at her weak body and said, "you have a rest. I'll get something to eat."

"Well."

There was a lump in her voice.

She tried to suppress it.

Xiao Heng stood up and walked.

Shangguanyan's heart suddenly mentioned.

Are you going to call her?

Yeah? Yeah?

Xiao Heng said: "I forgot to ask you what you want to eat. You have just had an operation. Millet porridge and job's tears porridge are both good."

"Oh." Shangguanyan lost, low said, "can."

Xiao Heng: "then millet porridge?"

Shangguanyan: "OK."

She has no appetite.

She's a bad woman.

She doesn't deserve to be his mother.

Xiao Heng stepped to the door. When he was about to cross the threshold, his steps stopped again.

"It may be a bit late to say this now, but..."

He turned and looked at her sincerely: "thank you for giving birth to me."

"Thank you for bringing me into this world, and thank you for everything you've done for me."

"Mother."

My mother, who had been waiting for 19 years, softened the years and pacified the more than 7000 separated days and nights.

Shangguanyan choked and couldn't speak.

——Thank you too, my son.
