Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 333 The Secret of the Year

"I don't know about this either. But according to my guess, it may be because when Empress Dugu persuaded Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty to kill the Li family, she revealed the whole reason. Or she didn't say everything, but she definitely said that the Li family is the destined son of heaven. Otherwise, with the character of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, it would be impossible to exterminate the heroes." Nangong Sheng said slowly, looking up at the stars in the night sky.

"Well, I think so too." Xiao Ziyi nodded, the historical Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was very kind.The history books said that he was so afraid of his wife that he didn't even dare to marry a concubine, but she felt that it was not because he was afraid of Queen Dugu, but because he was fulfilling the promise he had made to her before.Never take a concubine.An emperor can do this, at least he cherishes his reputation very much.But he has done so much harm to the Li family. There is no other reason for this except that he believes that the Li family will threaten his imperial power.

"I think that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty will definitely regret it in his later years, so maybe he told people close to him about this matter. So this matter has been passed down secretly." Nangong Sheng said speculatively.

"People around you?" Xiao Ziyi saw that he seemed to have reached a conclusion, so he asked softly.

Nangong Sheng lightly nodded his forehead and said, "Well, a few days ago I curiously looked into the library of the former dynasty and found an old eunuch who was next to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Coincidentally, his surname is Shen."

"Shen?" Xiao Ziyi was dizzy, what does this mean?
The corners of Nangong Sheng's lips were slightly raised. When he found out at the time, he thought it was an incredible coincidence, but after thinking about it for a while, he still felt that it was not that simple. "Actually, it's not surprising that the surname is Shen. Someone said a long time ago that the Shen family was the retainers of Empress Dugu in the early years. But after disappearing for more than a hundred years, they suddenly became rich and powerful. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Suddenly? In the last 40 to [-] years..." Xiao Ziyi suddenly thought of something that she had felt strange before, "If this Shen family is the descendant of Queen Dugu's retainers, why would they still get along with Dugu's family?" Inconsistent? Is it... all blindfolds?"

Nangong Sheng half stood up and nodded.He likes chatting with Xiao Ziyi very much, because she is very smart.Although she is naive and does not understand the world, it does not mean that she is innocent.She just doesn't want to think about it, doesn't want to understand.In fact, he didn't want to tell her all these things, which would only add to her troubles.But since she asked to go even though she knew that the autumn hunt was not easy, he had to let her know the entanglement. Maybe the two of them would find something together.

Xiao Ziyi's heart was in a mess, her previous guesses all came true.The Dugu family and the Shen family, one is a high-ranking tycoon representing the old forces, the other is an emerging business tycoon; Wu, a businessman.If the two of them really joined forces secretly to promote Xiao Ce to the throne, then Xiao Jingyang would not be able to ascend the throne even if he was justified.

Huh?No, if Xiao Ce becomes the emperor, what good will it do for these two families?One of them is already an extremely personable minister, their ancestors have an ancestor's precept that they are not allowed to be emperors, and one is extremely rich, even if they change emperors, it will not affect them.And Nangong Sheng won't mention the Li family for no reason...Xiao Ziyi couldn't help but smile wryly, and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Nangong, your master...isn't his name Li Longji?"

"Unfortunately, it's him." Nangong Sheng smiled wryly with her, as expected she knew everything. "People in the Li family have known the hatred passed down from their ancestors since they were born. Their ancestors used their ancestors to avenge their great revenge. It stands to reason that this hatred has disappeared with the disintegration of the Sui Dynasty. But there was hope for the founding of the country. The meritorious ancestors of the Li family were not given official positions because of a former imperial edict obtained by Gaozu in the palace. Instead, they were imprisoned in disguise. The children of the Li family will also be treated in the same way. Many people do not know why. But after a long time, everyone thought that the Li family in Taiyuan was not a good thing, so Li Yunqing and his sister were discriminated against everywhere."

Xiao Ziyi said emotionally after hearing this: "I don't think even Queen Dugu would have thought that her order would lead to so many things."

"It's not just that." Nangong Sheng sat up, and the wry smile on his face deepened, "The Li family actually knew more or less the rumors about them back then, and because the emperors of all ages were more guarded against them, the more they believed that they were The true destiny, so almost all the Li family children have done something secretly. This is what I vaguely noticed when I got along with the master. And I think that the sudden wealth of the Shen family is also related to my master. There is an inseparable relationship."

Xiao Ziyi was speechless when she thought of the series of plans that Master Shen had made for him when he was in the Shen family. "Then the reason why you quit the household department back then was also related to him?" Xiao Ziyi was most concerned about Nangong Sheng. Since he and Li Longji had a falling out, the turning point was his resignation.

"Yeah." Nangong Sheng took a deep breath, as if returning to the difficult days back then, and said word by word through his teeth: "Actually, the main reason is my family... "

"So..." Looking at the misery on Nangong Sheng's face, Xiao Ziyi suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, which almost made her speechless.At this time, she really hated her good memory.

"Well, you guessed right. He actually killed my mother." When Nangong Sheng said this, his handsome face showed no expression at all, which made Xiao Ziyi feel distressed.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand to hold his cold hand, but Nangong Sheng squeezed it back tightly, as if it took such a long time to grasp a channel of catharsis.Xiao Ziyi moved her eyes considerately, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and sighed silently.

The two of them didn't make a sound for a long time, their hands were so tightly clasped, looking for each other's warmth in the cold night.

"Ziyi, don't tell anyone else. No one knows about this."

"Ah."

"Even he doesn't know that I know."

"Ah."

"He thought I was devastated because of my mother's death, so he gave up on me." Nangong Sheng smiled miserably, "Back then...his hands and feet were perfect...Really, if it wasn't for the fact that I was greedy for my mother that night I secretly wanted to learn the sound of the piano, maybe... maybe I would not know. People in the family thought my mother was weak and left. It was that night that I knew my perfect mother She got married to control my father. My mother refused his request and died little by little under his poisoned wine."

Xiao Ziyi didn't speak any more, and took the initiative to lean into his arms.

Nangong Sheng stroked her cloud-like hair, and apologized softly: "Ziyi, don't blame me for always testing you at the beginning. It's really because of my master, my mother...it's hard for me to trust anyone anymore. .”

The only knot in Xiao Ziyi's heart towards him gradually disintegrated, and she really wanted to hold his hand like this and never let go.
