Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle, does he remember Chu Yuanhai's case?"
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded and said: "Chu Yuanhai's case was a sensation back then, so of course I know."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What kind of person is he?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the present, and he is the most powerful person I have ever seen in his life." His expression became a little confused, and he began to recall the things that had been dusted for many years: "In fact, his corruption case was the hand of the emperor at that time.
There were no signs before, and everyone was very confused, because Chu Yuanhai had always been self-reliant and devoted to the public, and had made great contributions to the great prosperity. The emperor also had great trust in him, but everything changed overnight.
changed."
Hu Xiaotian had already known the inside story. The reason why Chu Yuanhai was ransacked and exterminated was not because of corruption, but because he was the son of Chu Fufeng. He believed that his father was harmed by Long Xuanen, so he entered the Dakang court despite his salary and courage.
He intended to avenge Chu Fufeng, but the real murderer was Mrs. Xu. Chu Yuanhai should have discovered the truth and was about to take action against the Xu family, but Mrs. Xu noticed it in advance and took action to eradicate him. Hu Xiaotian had
During the wedding, Mrs. Xu admitted this matter in person, but outsiders probably didn't know the inside story.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does Chu Yuanhai recognize Ling Jiazi?"
Zhou Ruiyuan was slightly startled when he heard Ling Jiazi's name. He frowned and said, "It shouldn't be possible. Ling Jiazi only became the Crown Princess six or seven years after Chu Yuanhai's death. Even if he knew him, Ling Jiazi should have
Just a little girl."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, Ling Jiazi was not an ordinary person, her actual age did not match her appearance. Quan De'an once said that Qiqi was born to Ling Jiazi after seven years of pregnancy, which meant that Ling Jiazi became the prince.
The concubine had been pregnant before. According to the situation under Hu Xiaotian's current control, the marriage between ordinary people and the destined person would be the same as that of ordinary people. Qiqi's father should be the destined person. The reason why Hu Xiaotian focused his doubts on Chu Yuanhai was
Because Ling Jiazi once rescued and trained Ji Feihua. When she was pregnant, Chu Yuanhai was not killed and was still the Minister of Household Affairs of Dakang.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Was Chu Yuanhai sentenced to Lingchi at that time?"
Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head and said: "He was executed secretly. It is said that he was executed in Lingchi. Even the bones were fed to the mastiffs. The emperor hated that he was sentenced to death and personally supervised the execution."
Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered how Chu Yuanhai's body structure was different from that of a normal person. Since Long Xuanen oversaw the execution, he should be quite aware of all this.
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Why do you suddenly want to ask about this?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm just curious about what happened back then. By the way, I once saw Ling Jiazi's portrait in Yun Temple, and it was painted by the old emperor himself."
Zhou Ruiyuan coughed a few times, with a look of embarrassment on his face. In fact, Long Xuanen's infatuation with Ling Jiazi was not a secret in the Dakang Dynasty. All the old officials in the past regarded it as a shame for Dakang and were ashamed to mention it.
He didn't dare to mention it, but outsiders didn't know much about the palace affairs. Fortunately, before such rumors could spread, Ling Jiazi died of dystocia, and the matter gradually subsided. If Hu Xiaotian hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Ruiyuan would have almost forgotten it.
After hearing this, he smiled calmly and said: "You are overthinking it!"
No wonder Hu Xiaotian overthinks this. It was not normal for his husband to paint a portrait of his daughter-in-law. Of course, Hu Xiaotian now understands the mystery. Long Xuanen should be just a chess piece used by Ling Jiazi. With Ling Jiazi’s ability, naturally
He won't let Long Xuanen take advantage. Hu Xiaotian said: "I just have some interest in Ling Jiazi."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "I don't know her very well, except that Yu Tong's mother had a good relationship with her before she was alive."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. Zhou Ruiyuan knew that he still didn’t know Qin Se’s true identity. What would he think if he knew that Qin Se was a descendant of the Destined One? Qin Se’s death was probably directly related to Ling Jiazi, but
Zhou Ruiyuan probably didn't know about these things.
Of course, Hu Xiaotian will not tell the truth frankly. For Zhou Ruiyuan, it is better to be an ordinary person. For him, the matter of the Destiny is mysterious and mysterious.
After saying goodbye, Zhou Ruiyuan left with the hairpin he gave her and returned to the Zhenhai Palace. I heard that Qiqi and Long Xiyue had gone out to burn incense. After thinking about it carefully, today was actually the first day of September. I didn’t know Liu Yuzhang.
What are you doing, and why haven't you shown up yet to meet me?
Xiong Tianba strode over from a distance. When he saw Hu Xiaotian, he sighed: "Hello, third uncle!"
Hu Xiaotian glared at him and said, "What are you sighing for?"
Xiong Tianba said: "I've been suffocating to death staying in the palace every day lately." He has a restless temper, and it was still new to him when he first came to the capital, but after all, this is under the emperor's feet, and every move must be restricted.
He had been impatient for a few days, and now he was eager to return home.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you want to go back?"
Xiong Tianba nodded hurriedly and said, "I've been out for so long, and there's not much to do here. Besides, I also miss Bear, Big Bear, Two Bears, and Three Bears." The names he mentioned were his three black bears.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "If you leave in a hurry, you and Chang Ming will go back tomorrow."
Xiong Tianba said in surprise: "Really?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Why should I lie to you!"
Xiong Tianba grinned widely and said, "I'll tell Brother Xia right now." He turned around and ran away. It seemed that he was really tired of staying in Kangdu. He almost bumped into Zong Tang who was walking towards him, but was hit by Zong Tang again.
Tang cursed a few words. Zong Tang came to Hu Xiaotian and said with a smile: "This naughty kid is still the same rough guy. What does he want from you?"
Hu Xiaotian told Zong Tang what had just happened. Zong Tang nodded and said, "It's okay to go back. He has a wild temper and doesn't stay anywhere for long. He has caused trouble a lot these days."
Not long after, there were already a few fights outside, but fortunately there was no big trouble.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm going back in the next two days. Brother Zong and Yinghao may have to stay for a while."
Zongtang smiled and said: "You have been saying this for several days. I thought you would leave a few days ago. Are there any unfinished things?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "We encountered some problems, but I think it won't take long."
At this time, Hoover came in to deliver the letter. Hu Xiaotian opened it and saw that it read - Jingshui Teahouse, old friends are waiting. There was no name on the signature, but a seven-story pagoda was drawn. Hu Xiaotian was so happy that he couldn't find it after wearing iron shoes.
Without any effort, Liu Yuzhang finally came to the door. It seemed that the time was ripe to leave Kangdu.
