After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 555 Unexpected

When Zhong Liyou said these words very carefully, Li Chenan's heart was shocked!
These words greatly exceeded his expectations.

He had a lot of preparations for this trip to Shuzhou.

Those preparations were not aimless, but the worst possible results based on a lot of information and careful consideration.

First of all, when the second prince Ning Zhixing was captured in Shuangjiao Mountain, he wanted to kill him, but Ning Zhixing revealed a shocking secret——

"You are not the eldest son of the emperor!"

"The so-called eldest son of the emperor is the child of Empress Lu who stole her life! She is the one who put a green hat on the emperor!"

"The boarding house was destroyed, Queen Lu's death... is her own fault!"

"Do you think it's the best choice for you to kill me, kill all the princes, and let that bastard become emperor?"

"You got Fooled!"

"Changsun Jinghong lied to you! Fan Taohua lied to you too!"

"The most terrifying person in Ning Country is not Xi Wei, but... Fan Taohua!"

"Do you think that if you kill this king, you will be able to become emperor?!"

"childish!"

"You are making a wedding dress for that evil bastard!"

Li Chenan had reservations, but became wary of Fan Taohua.

After returning to the capital, he tried to find evidence of what the second prince said in the dark building of the Imperial City Division, but there was nothing there.

He wanted to refuse Fan Taohua's entrustment to him when he was dying, but he still agreed.

Firstly, Zhongli Ruoshui was in Shuzhou, and he needed to pick him up to Wu.

Secondly...he also wanted to see the eldest son of the emperor.

On the way to Shuzhou, Wang Zheng Jinzhong mentioned some things in the information given to him.

Changsun Jinghong had been investigating the cause of Empress Lu's death during his lifetime, but in the end he didn't investigate further because the backside of this incident was too absurd.

Wang Zhengjinzhong didn't say where the absurdity lies, but Li Chenan guessed that it might be the identity of the eldest son of the emperor.

This proves from the side that Ning Zhixing may not have lied about this matter.

Wang Zhengjinzhong also mentioned one more thing——

The disappearance of the eldest son of the emperor has a great relationship with Fan Taohua!

What is the relationship here?
Why would she do this?
During this journey, Li Chenan's hands were not idle on Xiao Baozi's waist, nor was his mind idle.

He carefully sorted out what happened after he went to Kyoto.

When he first arrived in the capital, Fan Taohua didn't invite him to step into the Dingguohou's mansion!

In other words, at the beginning, Fan Taohua didn't like him, or didn't regard him as her grandson-in-law!

Fan Taohua invited herself to Zhongli Mansion after she made the fireworks.

Maybe it was then that Fan Taohua felt that she was worth something.

In the cabin by the pond in the backyard of Dingguohou's mansion, he had a cup of tea with Fan Taohua and had a conversation.

She said that her grandfather Li Chunfu gave her a tea set when he resigned from office in the sixth year of Zhaohua.

The tea set had five cups and one pot, and a person's name was engraved on it, hoping that she could protect them well.

This is to say that the relationship between her and Li Chunfu is very good, and the self at that time did not have the slightest doubt about her.

In addition, she also said that she thought Cheng Guogong's idea was good, and asked him if he was afraid?

This is to see his courage, and maybe he has the idea of ​​drawing Ji Tai's attention to him.

By the way, she also said that Changsun Jinghong also went to that pond to accompany her to fish, but she was talking about Li Chenan.

Changsun Jinghong suspected Fan Taohua, but he didn't know what he and Fan Taohua talked about, or compromised with each other.

Now that I think about it, last year's mid-autumn night, the emperor did not inexplicably confer himself a Poetry Immortal.

It is not for no reason to map himself as the eldest son of the emperor!
The emperor completely set himself up, giving him a chance to fight for the imperial power... He did this to show Fan Taohua!

In other words, the emperor would rather inherit the throne himself than the eldest son of the emperor to become the emperor of Ningguo.

And this happened to be what Fan Taohua didn't want to see.

Since Fan Taohua knew the whereabouts of the eldest son of the emperor, why did she come to Shuzhou to meet the eldest son of the emperor by herself?

It was the same as what Zhong Lipo or Hua Manting thought, that is, Fan Taohua wanted to die in Shuzhou!
Contrary to what Zhong Lipo and Hua Manting thought, Li Chenan did not connect Xi Wei.

He thought that if Fan Taohua took action to kill him, it would inevitably lead to Zhongli Ruoshui's great hatred towards her.

During the chaos in Kyoto, Huai Pingshan unexpectedly led his troops to attack in Gathering Bieye, which aggravated the injury of Fan Taohua, who was already injured.

Knowing that she was about to die, she couldn't go to Shuzhou to pick up the eldest son of the emperor in person, so she entrusted this matter to herself, and also entrusted herself with the Peach Blossom Order that could command fifty thousand guards.

Is this trust?
Li Chenan didn't believe it from the beginning to the end.

From Li Chenan's point of view, Fan Taohua's move was to allow the eldest son of the emperor to obtain the military power of the Divine Guard Army through his own hands.

Secondly...she is about to die, so use the guards to kill herself in Xishan, and the eldest son of the emperor can lead his troops into the capital, so that he can sit back and relax and become the emperor of Ning Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Fan Taohua asked Zhongli Ruoshui to come to Shuzhou, and let herself come to Shuzhou.

But at this moment Zhong Liyou said something like this...

"My mother had a bad premonition before the change in Kyoto... It can't be said to be a premonition, it should be said to be my mother's judgment on the situation."

As if worried that Li Chenan would not believe it, Zhong Liyou took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Chenan:

"You can read the last letter my mother wrote to me!"

Li Chenan took the letter, took it out, unfolded it, and the first thing he looked at was the date at the end of the letter——

The fifth day of October in the 23rd year of Zhaohua!

It is the eve of the change in Kyoto!
Then he carefully read the contents of the letter, and was suddenly shocked.

"... Jingye thinks back carefully, mother may have really done something wrong these years.

Maybe Xi Wei is right.

He said that it doesn't matter who is the emperor, what matters is who can make people's lives better. "

"In the past ten years, Mother has had many conflicts with your father because she was obsessed with allowing the eldest son of the emperor to ascend the throne smoothly... Mother is sorry for your father."

"Xi Wei will soon promote the changes in the capital. Mother thought about it again and again, and met him once."

"He said that Li Chen'an is the best candidate to be the emperor of Ning Kingdom!"

"He said that if I let the Shenwu Army give up resistance, he will guarantee that the forces he has in his hands will not cause any damage to the capital."

"After much deliberation, Niang decided to let the Shenwu Army guard the palace. If Xi Wei really handed over Ningguo to Li Chen'an, and if Xi Wei really retreated, then the Shenwu Army will also withdraw from the capital."

"Mother doesn't know if he will keep his promise."

"Mother will give the order of peach blossoms to Li Chen'an. If Xi Wei breaks the promise, the Divine Guard will follow Li Chen'an's order to attack the capital and regain the power of Ning Kingdom!"

"If Xi Wei keeps his promise...the Divine Guard will also follow Li Chen'an's arrangement."

"As for the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chen'an will not kill him."

"Then let's pretend that there is no such eldest son in Ningguo."

"Let him still live his whole life carefree, this may be the best."
