Chapter 240 Questioning
Chai Sujin gasped, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Who's there?" Chai Xian looked up.

Chai Sujin stabilized her mind and walked out from behind the Longclaw locust tree, "It's me."

Chai Xian frowned slightly.

Mr. Xiang's complexion changed drastically.

After saluting with blessings, Chai Sujin walked towards the high pavilion.

Mr. Xiang got up quickly, stepped aside, and greeted her.

Chai Sujin nodded, and gave a little support, "Mr. Xiang doesn't need to be too polite. Since the past has something to do with my mother, the Holy One, and me, I should listen to it if I think about it."

Mr. Xiang took a cautious look at Chai Xian, and seeing that Chai Xian did not object, he couldn't help frowning.

"I really didn't expect that a letter from me could attract Mr. Xiang to the capital, and even attract so many things that we didn't know before." Chai Sujin said with a half-smile.

The old man lowered his eyes and did not respond.

"Continue to talk, why didn't my husband stop talking when I came? I can't listen?" Chai Sujin asked.

Mr. Xiang looked at Chai Xian again.

Chai Xian nodded at him, "But it's okay, the princess is not an outsider."

Sighing to the old man, he continued: "The emperor didn't believe it at first, but later he really couldn't help it. The queen mother couldn't give birth. Po Wen said, if you don't make a decision, you will die twice. The sage nodded, then The sorcerer borrowed the method of blood from the descendants of the Yu family, and the empress gave birth to the prince safely in no time!"

Chai Xian frowned, and looked at Chai Sujin.

Both of them turned their eyes away with cold faces.

"The first emperor didn't want to wipe out the Yu family. He had been trying to save and change the 'dragon vein'. But after the crown prince was born, he was sick and suffering. It’s like a child, you can’t grow up if you die young.” Sighing to the old man, he shook his head, “It was difficult for the first emperor to have an heir, but the empress risked her life to give birth to the crown prince, and the childbirth hurt her body even more. How could the first emperor just watch Seeing his only son die early..."

There was silence in the pavilion, only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

There are birds singing on the branches, and the sound is like weeping and complaining.

Chai Sujin narrowed her eyes, "So there was the massacre of the whole family later? So it was just an excuse to ask the Yu family to hand over their wealth? Whether the Yu family handed over the money, and whether they were willing to cooperate with the court, they would all die in the end." ?”

Mr. Xiang looked at Chai Sujin and lowered his head, "Princess, don't think the Yu family is too simple and kind. They are indeed against the court. And they secretly raised the army in Shanyin. If you don't have the intention of rebellion, why not Are you willing to hand over part of your family wealth for the construction of the imperial court?"

Chai Sujin frowned.

"The Yu family intends to seek rebellion, but before their time comes, the late emperor will strike first. Otherwise, the people sitting here today would no longer be descendants of the Chai family!" Mr. Xiang said.

"I don't believe a single word you say." Chai Sujin shook her head, "How can there be any evil spirits and contracts in this world? How can dragon veins be determined by evil spirits and contracts?"

Mr. Xiang looked at Chai Sujin in surprise, "This old man thinks that others don't believe this, but you will definitely believe it, princess?"

"Why should I believe it?" Chai Sujin scolded.

Looking at her to the old man, he said: "Your life experience, your origin, can't you prove all this?"

"I..." Chai Sujin lost her voice.

She is a dead person, if she is really silent, she should be lying in the tomb at this moment, no matter how the world regime changes outside him, she is just waiting to turn into a cup of loess.

But now, she is standing here alive, continuing to enjoy the glory of the princess.Enjoying all the benefits and honors brought to her by the surname Chai.

"The blood sacrifice of the descendants of the Yu family has made the Chai family stable for many years. But because the child of the Yu family has gradually grown up, cholera has begun again." Mr. Xiang said, "Don't say that the princess does not want to believe it, it is old. , and I don’t want to believe anything. But the truth is in front of my eyes..."

Chai Sujin shook her head, "It's just a coincidence."

"Originally, the old minister didn't know who he was, but after he became a son-in-law, he always wanted to see me, vaguely revealing that he wanted to inquire about the affairs of the Yu family back then. The old man refused to see him. The previous emperor had already ordered , don’t mention it again. The person who knew what happened back then is either dead or already far away from the court. Why did he inquire about this matter? This old man even left the capital to avoid him.” Mr. Xiang said slowly.

"Your Majesty, do you believe these groundless and unreasonable words?" Chai Sujin looked at Chai Xian.

Chai Xian also looked back at Chai Sujin.

The old Mr. Xiang was on the side, seemed a little anxious, but at this moment he had finished what he should say, and there seemed to be no room for him to intervene.

"Sister, do you believe it?" Chai Xian chuckled suddenly.

Sister.

This name seems to have been separated for a long time...

Yes, it's been a lifetime.

He has always refused to admit that he is his elder sister, even when she helped him during the battle, he refused to admit it.

Now, but at this moment, he called her "Sister".

Chai Sujin nodded, "I know... Although I don't believe it, as a descendant of the Chai family, I have the responsibility and obligation to safeguard all the interests of the Chai family..."

Her eyes were lowered, her tone was soft, and the emotions in her eyes were unclear.

"Sister, don't you believe me?" Chai Xian asked with a smile.

Chai Sujin immediately looked up at him, "What?"

"I said, I am not afraid of any evil spirits, and I am not afraid of any dragon veins being taken away. Now I am sitting on this throne, and I do what I should do! I am worthy of the heaven and earth above, and worthy of the conscience of the people below. If I am like this, This throne is still going to change hands, which means that the Chai family is really not the destiny of heaven. How can people overcome the sky? If so, I will admit it!" Chai Xian said with a smile on his face. smile.

After a battle, Chai Xian really became different from before.

Who said that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change?From inside to outside, Chai Xian seemed to be a different person.

Chai Sujin looked at him blankly, murmured as if she wanted to say thank you, but couldn't.

The word "thank you" is too thin, and it is not enough to express her feelings at this time.

"Your Majesty, it is better to believe in the fact of the dragon's veins than to believe in nothing. The former emperor was the same as the Holy Majesty in those days, he didn't believe it at all! But later..." Mr. Xiang frowned and persuaded.

Chai Xian shook his head, "Don't need to say it, old man. I will stick to it. If I decide so, I will not change my mind. Even if there is a matter of dragon veins, I said it, and I admit it!"

"Brother..." Chai Sujin couldn't help calling out.

"Princess, do you really have the heart to do this? For your own selfish desires, let the Holy Majesty and Da Zhou Jiangshan take such a risk?" Mr. Xiang knelt down and kowtowed to Chai Sujin to question.

"Don't embarrass my sister, this is my decision." Chai Xian said.

Old Mr. Xiang refused to get up, "I beg the princess to have mercy..."

"He has no intention of rebellion. Instead of believing in such a fictional legend, I believe in brother Zhen's character." Chai Sujin bowed her head and said to the old man.

The old man snorted softly, "He hasn't turned his back now, what about the future? What about the people around him? In the past, he was used by others to get close to the princess on purpose. May I ask the princess, did she see through his heart at that time? He saw through his heart." Character? What kind of heart did he have when he approached the princess? If a person doesn't want to be used by others, how can others really use him?"

Under the questioning of the old gentleman, Chai Sujin couldn't help taking a step back.

"Did he really never, from the beginning to the end, have the slightest rebellion? The princess touched her heart and asked herself, if he really didn't, could he be manipulated just by his adoptive father and uncle? Hmph, the old minister doesn't believe it." Yes." Mr. Xiang said righteously.

Chai Sujin shook his head again and again, "He is helpless, he has hatred... His whole family was slaughtered, and someone else would have hatred..."

"Yes, he used to have hatred, but now he has no hatred? Will there be no hatred in the future? This hatred has already been buried there, and now it is just cutting down all the branches and leaves that have broken through the ground, but the root is rooted in the ground. It can’t be pulled out in my heart. Maybe it will take root sometime in the future!” Said the old man.

Chai Sujin pointed at the old man and scolded, "Don't scare me!"

"Scaremongering? He used to be just a son-in-law, a Marquis of An, who could turn the court of the Great Zhou upside down! Now he is the founding hero! He is the Duke of Dingguo! If one day, when he and the Holy Majesty have different political views, if the Holy Majesty When he doesn't want to follow him, will the hatred in his heart break out again? Will he be used again involuntarily?" Mr. Xiang looked up at Chai Sujin.
