The Queen of Xuanyi

Chapter 122 The Amazing Truth
Although his son has been stern since he was a child, and was indifferent to everyone except that girl Yun Ge, it was the first time he had spoken to him in such a serious tone.

"You go to Tiancheng Palace to talk." Gu Liangyue glanced at the father and son and said.

She is not interested in government affairs at all. Since her son was three years old, she has asked them to go to Tiancheng Palace to discuss matters.

Nangong Hongyuan glanced at Gu Liangyue, "Go after the meal."

Nangong Xuan didn't object, no matter how anxious he was, he would sit aside and wait for his father and queen to eat.

Nangong Hongyuan caught a glimpse of his son's expression, even so, he was not in a hurry. After finishing the meal with Gu Liangyue, the father and son walked to Tiancheng Palace together. On the way, Nangong Xuan didn't say a word, and Nangong Hongyuan's expression sank. Shen, what is it that makes a calm son so dignified.

He quickened his pace.

After entering Tiancheng Palace, Nangong Hongyuan gave Si Hai a wink, Si Hai immediately withdrew and clapped his hands, there was no one else within a hundred meters of Tiancheng Palace except the dark guard and him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Nangong Hongyuan looked at Nangong Xuan and asked.

"Father, Grandfather was the only one left in my grandfather's generation, so what's the secret?" Nangong Xuan asked in a rather cryptic manner.

Nangong Hongyuan narrowed his eyes, "Why did Xuan'er think of asking this?"

"I suspect one thing, I want to know, is it because grandpa took action to get rid of the other brothers back then?" The royal family has no true feelings since ancient times, even if the truth is so, Nangong Xuan is not surprised.But now when it comes to whether the Nangong family hides a potential enemy, he has to dig out what happened back then.

"Your grandfather is not such a ruthless person. At that time, your grandfather had six brothers. Among them was a younger brother who was born to the same mother. Each of the brothers died. Your grandfather was also very surprised. Even if you protect it, it is useless. After all, The descendants of the Nangong family speak with their strength, and it is essential to go out to practice, so nothing was found out until your grandpa's direct brother died."

Nangong Hongyuan also listened to his father's dictation of what happened back then, and it was also because his father suspected that someone was doing something secretly, so he told Nangong Hongyuan to be on guard. After all, he only had Nangong Hongyuan as his son.

Nangong Xuan fell into deep thought. It seemed that things were different from what he thought. Could there be something unknown about it?After a while, he told his father about the Wang family.

After hearing his words, Nangong Hongyuan stood up all of a sudden, his eyes were full of unbelievable light, and he murmured, "So that's how it is."

"Royal father." Nangong Hongyuan frowned and shouted.

Nangong Hongyuan looked at his son and said solemnly, "You come with Father."

After Nangong Hongyuan finished speaking, he walked to the back of the huge screen. Behind the screen was a wall. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. They were all paintings by Nangong Xuan when he was a child. here.There is also a soft couch for temporary rest, a table and chairs, all of which are prepared for him.From the time he was three years old, he went to court with his father, as long as he was not studying with his teacher, he spent the rest of his time in Tiancheng Palace, and this soft couch was prepared for him. After all, he was too young, so he slept in it when he was tired. Later, it was no longer used, and it was not withdrawn.

So he is very familiar with this place.

Thinking about it now, when he was a child, his father never left his hands to take care of himself, not only because he wanted to teach himself to be so simple, but the most important thing was that he was worried about his own safety, and he could better protect himself by keeping him by his father's side.

Nangong Hongyuan walked to the table next to the soft couch, lifted a picture scroll, and pressed a certain place on the wall, there was a creaking sound, and a secret door appeared in front of the father and son.

"Come in." Nangong Hongyuan went in first.

Nangong Xuan looked at the secret door in surprise. He grew up here, but he didn't realize that there was a secret door here, and walked in behind his father.

Inside is a space of about [-] square meters. There is only one bookshelf with books on it. When I walk over to take a look, I realize that there are all the deeds of all the descendants of the Nangong family from birth to death for thousands of years.

From the ancestors of the Nangong family who established the Shengyu Empire to Nangongxuan's generation, there are detailed records.Suddenly, Nangong Xuan's eyes narrowed, how did he come to his generation, only he has the record.

"Father?" He looked at Nangong Hongyuan suspiciously.

Nangong Hongyuan sighed, "I originally wanted to tell you the truth when you became emperor, but now that things have changed, let me tell you first."

Nangong Xuan had an answer ready to come out.

"Father has only one son." Nangong Hongyuan explained why Nangong Xuan was the only one in his generation.

"What about them?" Nangong Xuan asked, the people living in the palace are not just one or two princes and princesses, except him, there are thirteen others.

"Back then, the courtiers forced your father to choose a concubine. In order to prevent your father from following in the footsteps of your emperor's grandfather, your imperial grandmother stood on the side of the minister. After your father promised your mother, she will only have one wife in this life. Besides, the others Women can't get into the eyes of the father. There is no other way, the father dragged you until you were born, and then the concubine was chosen. Those children are the children of the father's dead. Everyone's father is different. Everyone understands that a dead man cannot marry a wife for life, let alone have an offspring, so Father uses this method to let each of them leave an offspring, and at the same time solve Father's problem." Nangong Hongyuan remembered Those dead soldiers who were no longer around to protect him had a look of sadness in their eyes.

Nangong Xuan finally understood why his father had not been close to other children for so many years. It turned out that there was no one of his children except himself, so his father could only give them a prosperous life, but he could not treat them the same as himself.

Nangong Hongyuan took a booklet and handed it to him, "Here is the life experience of each of them, and the portraits of those dead men are also on it."

Nangong Xuan took it over and flipped through it page by page. Except for Nangong Xuan, Nangong Hongyuan had seven sons and six daughters in name. The fathers of these 13 people were all different. Nangong Xuan also understood why there was no one other than himself. A prince and daughter look like their father.

Most of these children resembled their own fathers.

No matter how calm Nangong Xuan was, now there was a huge wave in his heart, "Why didn't the father tell the mother?"

Since he didn't betray the original promise, why did the queen mother remain depressed for so many years?
"The reason lies in what you said today. Although your grandfather didn't find out the cause of the matter back then, he told the father to be extra careful. The father and your mother have only one son, so you have to be careful. If you have anything to do , your mother will hate father and emperor more than I betrayed the original promise, so they must exist." Nangong Hongyuan said helplessly, he didn't want his beloved woman to be unhappy all day long, and he didn't have a good time, but there was no way Ah, the world only sees the glory and power of being an emperor, but cannot see the helplessness behind him.

"After this matter is resolved, find an opportunity to tell the queen mother, life is short, no matter how helpless the father's reasons are, the relationship will not stand the wear of time." Nangong Xuan closed the booklet and said.

"Well, your mother's heart is getting colder every day, and I really can't wait anymore." Nangong Hongyuan's eyes flashed with nostalgia for their past.

Having said that, Nangong Hongyuan took another booklet, handed it to him and said, "Look at this."

Nangong Xuan knew that this was the reason why his father brought him here.

He took it and opened it for a look. After reading it, he was shocked. This booklet should record a person from his grandfather's generation, with only a few strokes. Only his mother is a civilian girl named Wang. His Date of birth, not even name.

"Father, what's going on?" Nangong Xuan asked.

"This is a secret affair of your great-grandfather. When your great-grandfather left the palace to visit various places, he met a woman. You know that the chance of meeting a woman you really like in the royal family is not high. At that time, your great-grandfather was in a dilemma. After entering, she was with that woman. However, after that woman knew the identity of your great-grandfather, she resolutely rejected the request to enter the palace as a concubine. She was already pregnant at that time, so she left without saying goodbye. Your great-grandfather asked I have loved her for a long time, and then I received a letter from her, telling your great-grandfather that she gave birth to a boy, and told your great-grandfather not to look for her again. She will never have any contact with him in this life, and the child will be with her His surname is Wang, and he will never recognize his father for the rest of his life. Your great-grandfather went crazy looking for someone everywhere, but he still couldn’t find him. How could your great-grandmother endure such a thing and secretly sent someone to assassinate their mother and father? Afterwards, there was no news about the two of them." After Nangong Hongyuan told this secret, finally someone shared his secret, and he felt relieved.

"Grandfather actually stopped looking for others for the safety of their mother and child." Nangong Xuan understood, now it seems that not only did the person not die, but he turned into a wolf hiding in the dark, controlling the life and death of Nangong's descendants.

Nangong Hongyuan didn't say anything, but his thoughts were the same as his son's. If it was him, he would choose to do this. After all, only in this way can their mother and son live well.

"But great-grandfather never expected that he killed his other children in order to protect their mother and child." Nangong Xuan sighed.

Nangong Hongyuan frowned, "But if he wanted revenge, why did he only leave behind your grandfather, the son she hates the most? And no one in your generation has suffered any accidents so far."

Nangong Xuan thought for a moment, "Father, please don't meddle in this matter. Since they have been secretly watching the royal family, every move of Father is in their sight. Now we don't know how far their hands are, so we can only Act secretly, leave this to Xuan'er."

"Okay." Nangong Hongyuan never doubted his son's ability.

"Xuan'er." Nangong Hongyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
