"Unexpectedly, Qin Shiwen turned out to be a villain with different appearances. He didn't appreciate my father's kindness to him. He actually wanted to kill our whole family because he was jealous of my father's talents."
Every time Sheng Lanqing thought about this, she felt that her father was really stupid. He should have rebelled long ago to avoid being manipulated by Qin Shiwen.
"My father retreated again and again, and finally wanted to take the whole family to his ancestral homeland to avoid the harassment of the court, but Qin Shiwen still didn't want to let us go, so my father had no choice but to do the opposite."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Yizhao with red eyes, "Tell me, when you have no way to retreat, what else can you do?"
Su Yizhao didn't know what to say. Maybe she would make the same choice as Zhen Guogong?
If you are so suspicious and retreat again and again, but you are still not believed, why not just go against it and get what he wants?
"When you gathered so many rebels, it's not surprising that there were informers among them. People's hearts are hard to fathom. How do you know those people won't betray you?"
Su Yizhao always felt that something was fishy, and Su Wenqing's attitude was very strange.
Sheng Lanqing snorted coldly, "There are indeed other informants, but they can't know such details. My father's most trusted subordinate died in the sea of fire with my father. Who would know our detailed deployment?"
"Then how did my father know?" Su Yizhao couldn't help but ask.
"At that time, Su Jinxun was still the young minister of Taichang Temple. The Su family was not well-known and there were not many officials in the court. By chance, I met Su Wenqing when I was young. Although he was a concubine, he had an open-minded temperament and a good personality.
Smart. I came from a noble family since I was a child, so I only like to dance with swords and guns, but I still respect the literati."
Sheng Lanqing seemed to be recalling her youthful days, her eyes full of sadness.
"I became good friends with him and often played together. Later, my father and I made a marriage arrangement, to the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Changping. We were both still young at that time, and the princess was not strict with Yu'er. The three of us
We meet often."
Did Su Wenqing know Wen Yu so early? Oh! No, it should be called Bi Yu.
The husband-in-law of the eldest princess was Bi Wenzhong, Duke of Wei, whose title was hereditary and irreplaceable. After becoming the princess, he served as the Minister of Household Affairs for a few years, and then resigned and became an idle rich man.
The eldest princess and Duke Wei had two sons who died in infancy, and finally gave birth to Bi Yu. Therefore, Princess Changping was pampered and pampered since she was a child, and she grew up pampered and pampered.
Later, when Duke Wei passed away at an early age, the late emperor and the late empress felt even more pity for Princess Changping, and they chose the prince of Duke Zhen as her husband.
Of course, Luo Rujin felt that this was the result of weighing the pros and cons.
It is thought-provoking that the late emperor was so suspicious of the Zhenguo Palace and married the princess there.
Sheng Lanqing continued: "The situation was serious at that time, and my father said we couldn't wait any longer, so we discussed the time to attack the palace.
We were fully prepared originally. Most of the troops in the Five Cities and the Jingwei Command and Envoys Department are our people. Even if the officers and soldiers stationed in other guard posts want to come to the rescue, they can't save the fire from afar."
When Sheng Lanqing said this, he became excited again.
"Unexpectedly, someone tipped off Qin Shiwen. He mobilized the army in advance, and also knew our route into the capital. He tightly controlled everything and blocked our people outside the city."
Sheng Lanqing clenched his fists, "Can you imagine that there are 60,000 people hidden in the imperial city? We didn't notice so many people at all, and some even wore our clothes to get through. Because the secret was leaked in advance, my father took the soldiers with him
After rushing in, you will be isolated and helpless, and you will be slaughtered by others."
"And these are all given by Su Wenqing." Sheng Lanqing's eyes were full of hatred, "That day when we were plotting, Su Wenqing came to the house as a guest and eavesdropped on our conversation."
"He eavesdropped on your conversation, but you didn't notice it at all? And how did he know your detailed deployment?"
Su Yizhao was confused, but he also thought that Su Wenqing was not bad at martial arts, so it might be possible.
"He often comes to see me, and the servants at home are already very familiar with him. He said he came to see me if there was something urgent. The servants knew that we had something to do and couldn't disturb us, so they sent him to my study to wait.
Later, I heard a report from a servant saying that he wanted to pick the viburnums planted in our outer courtyard. When I rushed back, he had already left."
"Then how can you be sure that he overheard the content?" Su Yizhao was very confused.
"Because I found that a map of the palace tunnels I kept in my study had been tampered with. That day I was studying all the tunnel maps in the palace, just to see if I could rush into the palace from the tunnels. Later, I was called by my father to discuss something, so
Put the picture in a secret compartment in the study."
Sheng Lanqing recalled it carefully, also thinking about the plot at that time. Naturally, he didn't want it to be Su Wenqing, but the ironclad facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.
"He knew about the secret compartment because once I got a very rare Western Region Glazed Bead, and I took this treasure out of the secret compartment and showed it to him. I didn't pay attention at the time, but later after my father lost, I
I recall that I was in a hurry when I placed it, and put it in together with a broken tassel."
"But when I went there later, the tassel fell on the ground. I originally thought it fell out when I was taking it out. But a few years ago when I was imprisoned, when my mind was still clear, I often thought about the details of that year, and then I thought
got this.”
"Based on this alone, we cannot be certain that it was my father who was peeping." It wasn't Su Yizhao who was excusing Su Wenqing, but there was really insufficient evidence!
"Of course not just based on this." Sheng Lanqing sneered, "because he informed Yu'er about it."
Su Yizhao then remembered that the late emperor was the grandfather of Princess Changping. If she knew about this, how should she deal with it?
How should Princess Changping choose between her husband's family and her natal family? Will she inform the eldest princess about this?
A look of pain appeared in Sheng Lanqing's eyes again, "We have always kept it secret from Yu'er, but Yu'er still learned about it from your father, and then she started arguing with me. I know she is in pain, but I can't wait to get it right.
, had to send it."
"My father couldn't stop, and I couldn't stop either. We argued several times about this matter. In order to prevent her from running back to the princess's mansion, I put her under house arrest. However, she was stubborn and once took advantage of the situation.
Unexpectedly, I ran back to the eldest princess’ mansion.”
"So she told the eldest princess the secret?" Su Yizhao was speechless. It seemed that no matter what choice he made at this time, he would be wrong.
If a husband and wife are deeply in love, Bi Yu would not be willing to let her husband die, after all, they still have two children.
"No, I chased her as soon as she ran back. She didn't say anything. I persuaded her to go back with me, but she refused. I knew she was hesitant, so I wanted to take her away by force. But she kept urging her.
I, let me go and tell my father not to do the following sinful things."
