Su Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that Hu Lan would guess so much based on a seal when she didn't say a word. And Hu Lan's guess was so close to the truth, which made Su Chen even more confused.
Who is Hu Lan? Is she just a cook from the palace? What is she hiding?
"The poison of burning incense." After thinking for a while, Su Chen said this.
When Hu Lan heard this, her expression changed drastically. She couldn't help but take a step forward and asked in a trembling voice: "Girl, what did you say?"
Su Chen saw her reaction in his eyes and probably knew in his heart that Hu Lan had heard of this poison. Moreover, judging from her fierce and frightened expression, Hu Lan seemed to be very familiar with this poison.
"The poison of burning incense." Su Chen repeated, and then lowered his voice and said: "Auntie, I was poisoned by the poison of burning incense."
When Hu Lan heard this, she could no longer stand, and her slightly fat body trembled. After a while, she calmed down, and her eyes ignited with hatred, "That bitch You Lanmeng, after all these years, she still can't
If you are willing to let you go, she has already killed Empress Su, do you want to kill them all now?"
Su Chen frowned, feeling that something was wrong the more he listened, and asked: "Who is Youlanmeng? Who is Empress Su?"
Hu Lan raised his head at this time, with unconcealable desolation in his eyes, "Did you know that this poison that kills incense comes from the Miao border? People thought that this poison had been lost long ago and was a strange poison hundreds of years ago.
But more than ten years ago, someone in the Xuanyuan Palace used this poison to kill the then Empress Su."
Su Chen didn't speak, just listened quietly, but he could probably guess what happened.
"Youlan Meng, she came from the Miao Territory. At that time, King Xuanyuan invaded the Miao Territory. Although the Miao Territory was always good at using poison, it was unable to resist the powerful army. At that time, the Miao Territory leader, in order to surrender, offered sacrifices at that time.
Orchid Dream is known as the most beautiful woman in Miao territory."
"Youlanmeng entered the palace before Empress Su. But because she was a Miao girl, many people opposed making her a queen, and at that time King Xuanyuan had no intention of making her a queen. Empress Su, Su Die'er
, is the daughter of the lord of Yelan City. Not only does she have a noble bloodline, but she also has huge wealth behind her. When the young lady had just reached the age of hairpins, people all over the world were flocking to her. People who wanted to marry the young lady came from all directions, and there were many of them.
There are countless princes, emperors and knights from all over the world, and the King of Xuanyuan is among them..."
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but interrupt Hu Lan, "Yelan City? What is that place?"
Hu Lan sighed quietly and explained patiently: "Yelan City is a huge city, covering an area no less than any other country. However, it belongs to one side, and it is not under the jurisdiction of any country. Yelan City is the world's largest city.
It is the richest place in the world, with countless ores and furs produced every year. The people living there are very wealthy, and everyone lives a fulfilling and contented life..."
Speaking of this, Hu Lan's eyes revealed feelings of yearning and homesickness.
Su Chen saw this and didn't have the heart to disturb her.
Having been with Hu Lan for so long, this was the first time she saw such a soft expression on her face.
Hu Lan finally came back to her senses, looked at Su Chen, her eyes gradually softened, with a vague respect, and continued: "I am Su Die'er's personal maid, and I am also a son of the family, because our family has been loyal to Su Die'er for generations.
In the Su family, I have been serving the young lady since I was a child. The young lady is beautiful and beautiful, and her temperament is gentle and gentle. She never treats her servants harshly, but such a person has been poisoned by You Lanmeng..."
The more Su Chen listened, the more frightened he became, and couldn't help but interject: "But how come Su Die'er was poisoned by Youlanmeng? Wasn't Youlanmeng in Xuanyuan Kingdom? Did she also go to Yelan City at that time?
?”
Hu Lan rolled her eyes rudely and said, "Listen to me."
"Oh." Su Chen knew that it was impolite to interrupt others, so he responded weakly and continued to listen to Hu Lan talk about what happened back then. But he couldn't help but complain in his heart: This is really like listening to a story, she
I haven’t listened to stories for many years, but it’s not bad to listen to them as gossip. I just don’t have some snacks in my hand. Otherwise, it would be fun to listen to stories while eating snacks.
After hearing the end, Su Chen's original playful mood was replaced by a sad and complicated mood.
According to Hu Lan, many young talents and young heroes came to Lan City at night, including many royal nobles, and even the young King Xuanyuan was among them. Of course, most of these people were
Go for profit.
After all, Yelan City is the richest place in the world, and Yelan City's world-famous wealth makes people all over the world flock to it. In addition, Su Die'er's reputation spread far and wide, so many people went there with the intention of capturing beautiful women.
At that time, Su Die'er was the most precious daughter of Lord Yelan. As long as he married her, he would have unexpected wealth. Who wouldn't be tempted by the benefits?
Su Chen thought that the King of Xuanyuan at that time must have gone there with the same idea.
Tsk tsk, Su Dieer is really stupid. She actually fell in love with that kind of profit-driven guy. In the end, she was defeated by You Lanmeng in the power struggle and was poisoned. Of course, Su Dieer was poisoned.
Poison is naturally the poison of the incense. Youlanmeng is a saint from the Miao border. Poisoning should be a common occurrence, and it is said that the long-lost poison of the incense has reappeared in her hands.
It’s no longer unusual.
Before Su Die'er died, she gave her daughter, who was less than two years old, to her personal maid Hu Lan. Hu Lan took the unfortunate child and escaped from Xuanyuan Kingdom. The hardships involved are self-evident.
Yu, not to mention having to avoid the killers sent by Youlanmeng. Can you imagine how dangerous it was for Hu Lan to run for his life with such a young child?
Hu Lan naturally wanted to take her child to the Lord of Yelan City at that time, and wanted to ask the Lord to avenge the death of Su Dieer. However, Hu Lan never expected that when she returned to Yelan City with her child
, the Lord of Yelan City passed away not long ago.
When Hu Lan heard the news, she couldn't believe it and even felt desperate.
Because the city lord who loved Su Die'er the most had died, the successor was the son of Su Die'er's stepmother, named Su Fengyu.
This Su Fengyu has not been close to Su Die'er since childhood. Although he is several years older than Su Die'er, Su Die'er has never regarded him as her brother. Because in Su Die'er's view, she is the daughter of the main wife, but Su Fengyu is a concubine.
The difference in status made Su Dieer reluctant to get close to him.
The two have lived under the same roof since childhood, but they have never faced each other.
