"No, I don't hate you. How did you know?”
His mother asked incredulously.
She did not expect that the secret she had hidden for more than ten years would actually be found out by Yun Buhen just like that.
Yun Buhen shook his head.
"Mother, have you forgotten that I went to the palace today?”
"Actually, I was only suspicious before, but today I saw the Empress in the palace.”
Her mother was stunned. She had actually forgotten about this matter. However, what she did not expect even more was that this was only Yun Buhen's first time going to the Imperial Palace and he actually met Empress Zhangsun.
This time, his identity had to be exposed.
Because she was exactly the same as Empress Zhangsun. With a little investigation, one would know that the Zhangsun Clan had a pair of twin sisters back then.
One of them was Empress Zhangsun, and the other was without a doubt.
"I'm sorry, I don't hate you. Mother has hidden this from you for more than ten years.”
His mother said apologetically.
Yun Buhen shook his head. He didn't care about any of this. What he cared more about was why his mother had left her hometown and her family for Youzhou in the past ten years.
In reality, the reason why Yun Buhen laid his cards on the table today was because of one thing.
When he came back from the Imperial Palace, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Azure Dragon had reported something to Yun Buhen, making him reveal his cards.
"Mother, who is my father?”
Yun Buhen looked at his mother and asked in a low voice.
That's right, Yun Buhen knew about his father's information. It was not a secret. It was just a past that no one had mentioned about more than ten years ago.
However, if the Embroidered Uniform Guards worked hard, it would only take a few days for them to investigate.
His mother trembled and chose to remain silent.
However, Yun Buhen knew that his mother would do this.
However, he seemed to know everything. He looked at his mother and continued.
"Fourteen years ago, in the ninth year of Daye, the Li family and the Zhangsun family were married.”
"Elder sister Zhangsun Wuyou will be marrying the second son of the Li family, Li Shimin, who is also the current Empress and His Majesty.”
"My younger sister, Zhangsun Wugou, will be marrying the eldest son of the Li family, Li Jiancheng.”
Yun Buhen paused and looked at his mother with a complicated expression.
"And that Zhangsun Wugou who married the Li family's eldest young master, Li Jiancheng, is you, mother?”
Yun Buhen's mother shuddered when she heard this.
Looking at Yun Buhen, he wanted to say something but hesitated, but in the end, he did not say anything.
Yun Buhen continued to speak.
"Back then, on the eve of the Black Tortoise Sect incident, when I mentioned Li Jiancheng, you acted abnormally.”
In fact, the more he speculated, the more Yun Buhen found it hard to believe.
His voice trembled as he asked his mother in disbelief.
"Mother, could it be that my father is one of them?”
That's right, Yun Buhen had used all sorts of clues and judgments to finally lock his father's target on Li Jiancheng.
This was because Yun Buhen knew about it through the investigation of the Green Dragon.
Back then, his mother had gone missing after the wedding. Didn't that explain everything? Yun Buhen did not know the reason why his mother had run away from home.
But one thing was for sure. He seemed to be Li Jiancheng's son.
"I don't hate you."
His mother looked at Yun Buhen with a complicated expression, her eyes filled with conflict.
But in the end, she remained silent because she seemed to have something difficult to say, making her unable to speak.
She couldn't say it because if she did, the impact would be too great. It might even affect Empress Zhangsun in the palace.
That incident back then was their secret.
Yun Buhen looked at his mother's silent expression, and in his eyes, it was a tacit agreement.
"I'm actually Li Jiancheng's son?”
Yun Buhen took two steps back, his eyes filled with shock.
He had never thought that the truth would be like this. For a moment, his heart was filled with complicated emotions. Yun Buhen had always hated his father whom he had never met.
But now, after knowing his father's true identity, Yun Buhen felt complicated.
Especially when he knew that his father was Li Jiancheng, and that his entire family had been exterminated by Li Shiming, Yun Buhen felt a strange hatred in his heart.
"I don't hate him. Let the past be in the past. It's enough for mother to have you by her side.”
His mother hugged Yun Buhen in her arms and said softly.
Yun Buhen did not say anything, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Mother, why did you leave so far away? Could it be that Li Jiancheng didn't treat you well? If that's the case, then I'll go and dig up his grave and tear him into pieces!”
Yun Buhen suddenly raised his head and said to his mother.
His mother was stunned and quickly said.
"It's not that I don't hate her. Back then, Mother left on her own.”
Her mother's eyes were filled with anxiety as if she was thinking of an excuse. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she said to Yun Buhen.
"At that time, my mother was still young. Besides my mother, Li Jiancheng had other women. My mother was very unhappy. Therefore, he had gone far away after throwing a tantrum.”
"In addition, mother didn't like Li Jiancheng very much at that time. It was only because of her parents 'words and the matchmaker's order.”
His mother said.
Yun Buhen nodded. So that was the case.
After accompanying his mother for a while, Yun Buhen left. After returning to his room, Yun Buhen shouted at the air.
"Azure Dragon."
"Swoosh!"
The Azure Dragon's figure instantly appeared in front of Yun Buhen.
"My lord."
Yun Buhen nodded and instructed Azure Dragon.
"Pay attention to the movements of Li Jiancheng's remaining members.”
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Buhen instructed Azure Dragon.
"If possible, secretly help them escape the pursuit of the Imperial Court.”
Azure Dragon nodded and then respectfully retreated.
Yun Buhen pondered for a moment, his feelings for Li Jiancheng were somewhat complicated. He did not expect that one of the main characters of the Black Tortoise Sect's coup, which he had watched on the sidelines, was actually his father.
This was really a sigh! He had actually seen his father killed by others with his own eyes.
