"Emperor!" Liu Yunxiang breathed out anxiously. Although he had guessed it and had confirmed it, he was still surprised. "It was really him!"

After the eldest princess and the old lady of Dingyuan Hou left, Liu Yunxiang returned to the backyard and saw Yan Mu going out, so she twisted him and followed him.

After knowing that this matter involved the emperor, he was very reluctant to let her get involved. She slapped in the carriage, but he didn't like to pay attention to her on the road.

All the way up the mountain, and came to the Yunxia Mountain Taoist Temple, a small Taoist boy led them to the Zen room where Taoist Hongxuan lived.

Liu Yunxiang was surprised when she heard the truth, but Hongxuan and Yan Mu were happy and calm, one poured tea and one drank tea, one laughed and the other was cold, and the two seemed to be competing.

She remembered the Taoist boy who led them to the Zen Temple and said, "Master is waiting for you in the Zen Room."

Liu Yunxiang asked curiously: "Master Hongxuan knows we will come?"

"The master said he would always come, just a little earlier or later."

Therefore, Hongxuan knew that Yan Mu would come, and this was his magical power.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't stand this atmosphere of not saying anything or saying something. He couldn't help asking: "The emperor and Mrs. Hou were in the palace and the other were in the backyard of the deep house. Why did they get along well?"

Speaking of this, she remembered Mrs. Yan, that is, Yan Mu's mother. She was humiliated by the emperor and gave birth to Yan Mu. Isn't it the same as this situation?

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, as if he shouldn't have asked this question, but Yan Mu looked cold and without the memories of his previous life, he would have lost the humiliation brought by this life experience.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Yan Mu raised his eyebrows.

"No, cough cough." Liu Yunxiang picked up the teacup in front of Yan Mu and drank it dryly, and said with a dry smile: "This tea is quite delicious."

Hongxuan smiled and said, "This matter is a long story."

"The Taoist priest said slowly, we have time." Liu Yunxiang said.

Hongxuan sighed long, and his expression gradually seemed to have entered the world from the calmness of the world, bringing trouble, "I don't know if you have heard of me, it's already twenty years ago. The autumn exam was about to come, and I studied hard for several years, just waiting to jump into the dragon gate. I was also full of energy and felt that the No. 1 winner was already in my pocket. At that time, I responded to a girl and went to her house to propose marriage when I was in high school. She was the daughter of an official, and I came from a poor family. The two of us met during a spring outing and were moved by each other. Although she was subject to ethics, she still pursued love passionately and often sneaked out to see me at home. At that time, I also loved her very much."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan. The man was dressed as a Taoist priest and had a fairy-like appearance. At this time, his brows frowned, with a sense of regret. Through Hongxuan now, he could imagine what kind of handsome young man he was twenty years ago.

"At that time, all the students of the world gathered in Shengjing. Some people from poor families were like me, some were from merchants or officials, but they could be divided into two categories, one was a group of people who studied hard for several years before the exam, and the other was those who had never used their merits before the exam. I belonged to the previous category, and sneered at the latter category, thinking that such people would sooner or later rot into the mud and be stepped on by people like us. At that time, I was so naive, full of confidence every day, thinking about the title of the Golden List, and the wedding night. However, one night, I studied until late at night, before I was hungry.

With my chest pressed on my back, I thought of going out to eat a bowl of wontons. There was a wonton stall outside Hua Street. I sat in the dark alley and was drinking hot soup. I saw the rich family and the invigilator come out from it. They were having a good time and they were holding their backs. When they passed by the wonton stall, I clearly heard a fucking sound saying: Sir, I'll ask you for the test questions. He said, and stuffed a stack of silver notes into the invigilator's arms. The invigilator actually accepted it and patted the rich family's shoulders to reassure him. I was very angry at the time and went to the tribute court to report it early the next morning, but the result..."

Speaking of this, Hongxuan laughed, not sad, but ridiculed, probably because he felt that he was really ridiculous at that time.

"As a result, I was slandered by the court officials and was imprisoned. After I begged, I missed the autumn examination. When I came out, the results were already released. That night, the rich children were all on the list, and one was even Tanhua. I had no fame, but I loved that woman, so I still went to her house to propose marriage, but was driven out by her father. Soon, she got married and married Marquis Dingyuan."

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Madam Dingyuan Hou, you know each other before, and there is still this relationship!"

Hongxuan shook his head and laughed, "At that time, I felt that the officialdom was dark, and it was useless to take another exam. Instead, it was insulting my own talent. In addition, my beloved woman married another person, and under the double blow, I was invisible."

Liu Yunxiang let out a sigh of relief. In her previous life, she only knew that Hongxuan had seen through the world before the autumn examination and became a monk. It turned out that such a thing happened in the middle.

"Well, but what does this have to do with the affairs of Mrs. Hou and the Emperor?"

Hongxuan sighed and continued, "After she married into the Marquis' Mansion, she was a loving couple on the surface, but in the eyes of others, the Marquis had a bad temper in private and often beat her. She once told me, but at that time I had given up my love and devoted myself to practicing Taoism, and did not care about the worldly affairs. By the previous year, the Marquis of Dingyuan had a past life, and she came to Taoism and said that she was liberated and let me return to the world, so that we could reshape our previous relationship together. Of course, I didn't agree, and I couldn't even understand why her obsession was so deep. Twenty years have passed and it should have been polished. One day, I went to Xuanyuantai to preach the Dharma, and she sneaked into my Zen room and lit the Hehuan incense, but... but the emperor came in, and the two of them ran into each other by chance."

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips, "So it was not the emperor who forcibly insulted the Marquis's wife, but... it was her own fault."

"Short after this incident, she became pregnant and was found out by the emperor. The emperor was determined to be a child, so how could he let her go? Naturally, she forced her to give birth to the child."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang didn't know what to react for a moment.

This is what happened...

"Mrs. Hou's maid Nian'er discovered the relationship between Mr. Hou and the emperor, so she had to die. The emperor asked Han Zicheng to deal with it, but Han Zicheng was a pervert. He did not kill her directly, but torture her." Yan Mu analyzed lightly.

Hongxuan nodded, "That's how it is."

"Also on that day, the Sixth Girl brought her maid Lan Xiang to the Taoist temple to get the sleeping incense. Someone deliberately led them to the Zhuangzi. It was obviously Shangguan Xu's people, in order to let the Sixth Girl break the matter. Nian'er was actually an accident. After all, she was just a maid. If she died, it was not enough to let the Ministry of Justice intervene. Shangguan Xu wanted to kill the Sixth Girl. Only when the Sixth Girl died could the case make a big deal. Under the pressure of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the emperor had to let the Ministry of Justice intervene. Although the Sixth Girl broke, she knew how to break the Kung Fu, so she still escaped from the Zhuangzi with her maid Lan Xiang. Qin Fei was prepared for a long time. He asked Hongzhu to intercept the two outside. Hongzhu only killed Lanxiang, but I don't know if it was impossible to beat or something, so I let the Sixth Girl run away." Yan Mu said.

"The sixth girl disappeared. The old lady of Dingyuan Hou entered the palace and begged the emperor. The emperor handed the case to the Ministry of Justice and asked Your Highness to investigate. The emperor knew your highness's skills, aren't you afraid that you would find it out?" Hongxuan asked with a smile.
