After hearing her words, Zhao Shengming was also a little excited. Zhao Luyan was very smart, and he could tell from Jiang Luo City. If he really told her, he might be able to find the answer earlier. Just as she was about to speak, she thought of what the emperor had said and felt very nervous. After thinking about it, she decided not to say anything to avoid getting into trouble. "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it. Go back and rest."”
" Father..." Zhao Luyan did not want to let go of this opportunity and asked relentlessly.
"Alright, don't ask too much if it's not something you should know. It's not good for you to know too much.”Zhao Shengming berated him, sounding a little impatient." It's late. You should go back. I'm going to sleep too."”
Zhao Luyan was even more depressed when her father directly asked her to leave. However, it also made her feel that this secret was extraordinary and must be of great importance. Zhao Luyan's interest increased more and more. She was very eager to know this secret, but it was obvious that there was no way to do it with her father. It was definitely not easy to say it. If she asked too much, it would make him suspicious. After seeing it, she could only find out through other methods.
After leaving her father's study, Zhao Luyan thought as she walked. How could she find out this secret? As they walked, they actually arrived at Granny Li's room. Out of curiosity, Zhao Luyan took a look inside and saw that Granny Li was embroidering very seriously. He pushed the door open and walked in. He came to Granny Li's side and looked at her, not daring to disturb her. Although he had never met his mother, Granny Li was his aunt, so he could treat her as his mother. Looking at her, Zhao Luyan felt that her mother was probably like this.
Although Granny Li did not raise her head, she was very familiar with Zhao Luyan and knew that she was here. She smiled faintly and asked,"You're back. Where did you go just now?”
"I'm going to meet a friend to discuss something.”In front of Granny Li, Zhao Luyan felt that there was no need to hide it. She would never betray herself, let alone tell her father. If there was one person in this world who was worthy of her unconditional trust, it was Granny Li. In Zhao Luyan's heart, Granny Li was her only family. No one could compare to her, including Fu Ruihai.
"Or is it because of the Night-Luminescent Pearl?" Granny Li asked.
Zhao Luyan was stunned for a moment before she nodded. For some reason, ever since he mentioned Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye in front of Granny Li and said that they were already dead…Granny Li's expression was particularly strange, as if she was a little sad. From then on, Zhao Luyan felt that Granny Li and Shen Xiyin seemed to be inextricably linked, but they had never met. Unknowingly, Zhao Luyan did not dare to tell Granny Li the truth. If Granny Li knew that Shen Xiyin was still alive and that she was going to kill them, she did not know how she would react. Therefore, Zhao Luyan did not say it out loud. She only said that it was a luminous pearl. Looking at Granny Li's expression, she did not suspect anything.
"So it's still because of this matter." Granny Li sighed and said earnestly," This matter is of great importance. Everyone who knew about it is dead. This is a curse. Why are you so interested? It has nothing to do with you. It's not good for you to know too much.”
"Why are you saying such things? Father also said the same thing just now.”Zhao Luyan asked curiously," It's not that I want to know. It's just that it's already in front of me. I have to understand it. Granny, from what you said just now, I know you know about this matter. Can you tell me? This matter is very important to me.”Zhao Luyan looked at Granny Li eagerly, hoping that she could give her an answer.
"How important is it?" Granny Li smiled and asked," This happened twenty years ago. At that time, you weren't born yet. How could it have anything to do with you?”
"Was it really twenty years ago? You must know, right? Can you tell me?" Zhao Luyan asked anxiously. Since Granny Li said that, then her judgment was not wrong. She definitely knew. Seeing that Granny Li was still hesitating, Zhao Luyan pulled her arm and said coquettishly," Please tell me. This matter is really important to me." If I knew about this, I would have something on the emperor. If something happened to father, I wouldn't be implicated by him. Otherwise, I won't be able to live either. You don't want to see me beheaded because of my father, right?”
Granny Li didn't want this to happen, but she was still in a difficult position."Actually, I don't know much. At that time, I was about your age. I only heard some things, but I don't know the details.”
"Then tell me what's going on. Maybe if you give me a general idea, I'll be able to figure out what's going on.”
Since Zhao Luyan had asked so much, Granny Li couldn't bear to hide it anymore. She stood up and slowly paced around. As she walked, she said,"This matter seems to have something to do with the Crown Prince, who is also the current Emperor. It seems that he was fighting for the throne alone, but in the end, he did not succeed. When they wanted to escape, they were discovered. Your father's men killed them. There was also a theory that the person escaped and the current emperor wanted to find him, but he never found him. It's probably what happened. I'll let your father know the details.”
"I heard rumors in the martial world that there was such a thing. They said that it was the Sixth Prince. I thought it was nonsense, but it turned out to be true.”Zhao Luyan shook her head and said, expressing that she couldn't think of it. It seemed that the rumors in the martial world were not groundless and could still be believed. "Who was Shen Muwen back then?”Zhao Luyan suddenly asked.
Granny Li was stunned. She did not expect Zhao Luyan to suddenly ask about Shen Muwen. She smiled and said,"Shen Muwen was still young at that time, only in his twenties. Although he was selected, he was only a substitute. However, his father, Shen Deming, was a famous figure at that time. His status was similar to your father's now. One was him, and the other was He Zhong. Back then, they were both figures above tens of thousands of people.”
"Then who do they have a better relationship with? The current emperor or the sixth prince?”
"I don't know about that. I only know that your father is one of the top figures in the government. All those who opposed the Crown Prince were suppressed, threatened, and even killed by him. Your father had an assassin organization back then, the Four Great Warriors. There were four people who specialized in helping him kill people. Their methods were cruel and terrifying.”Granny Li sighed.
"I seem to have heard of these four people. They are said to be very powerful, but I have never seen them before.”Zhao Luyan said thoughtfully. She looked at Granny Li and asked," Do you know where they are now?”
"Where else could he be? Luyan, you should know what kind of person your father is. It's their fate to cook all the sly rabbits.”Granny Li smiled bitterly." They killed so many people just for one purpose: to protect the Crown Prince's position. After the current Emperor ascended the throne, he was afraid that people would find out about his murder, so he asked your father to silence him. Although your father was unwilling, he had no other choice but to kill them. Do you know who Fu Ruihai is? He's the descendant of one of the four of them.”
"How did you know?"
"I overheard your father say that he wanted to cultivate a new force, and he had to be loyal to him, so he had to be nurtured from a young age. Fu Ruihai's aptitude was not bad, so he was chosen.”
"But I heard that Shixiong was picked up by my father, and Shixiong was already seven years old at that time. "How could it be…" Zhao Luyan was puzzled.
"It's not to deceive others and make Fu Ruihai think that Zhao Shengming saved him. It's just Zhao Shengming's usual trick.”Granny Li said nonchalantly, her eyes filled with mockery." It was the same when he treated the Four Guardian Deities. The Four Guardian Deities were very grateful and devoted to him, but in the end..."
It turned out that my father had me use this method to rope in Huangfu Ye back in Jiangluo City. It seems that my father is already very familiar with it and even used it on Fu Ruihai. However, this time, he seemed to have made a wrong move. Thinking of this, Zhao Luyan sneered and said,"Shixiong is not the 'Four Great Guardian Warriors' of yesteryear. He will definitely not be used by others, especially my father. Moreover, he knew that Zhao Shengming had killed his family. He was only bowing to Zhao Shengming for the time being. She's my woman. We'll defeat Zhao Shengming together. To avenge his parents and my mother.”After saying that, Zhao Luyan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes revealing a fierce glint.
Granny Li walked over, held her hand, and advised,""Don't be like this. It won't be good if your father sees this.”After persuading her, Granny Li saw that Zhao Luyan was very agitated. She sighed slightly and let go of her. She continued," Fu Ruihai is indeed different from those people. He is independent, independent, and has his own views. Moreover, he doesn't seem to like killing people. It was indeed a mistake to follow your father. If he didn't know about those things, I think he would leave. If he knew, he would definitely stay and take revenge. But he is alone. If Zhao Shengming is finished, maybe he will leave. What will you do then? Will you let him go or go with him?”
"I don't know. Actually, I wanted to leave with him for a long time, but he refused to admit that he loved me. I could only think that he didn't love me at all. For a man who doesn't love me at all, what's the point of me running away with him?”Zhao Luyan cried and asked back," If everything goes as I think, I'll be the Imperial Consort, or even the Empress. I'll be below one person and above all others. Why would I leave with him? It's the same for me to get power even if I can't get love.”
"But how do you know that you will succeed? What if you fail? What if you are implicated because of Zhao Shengming? You have to leave a way out for yourself.”Granny Li advised. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
