First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 728

Chapter 728 Mother and son recognize each other

It's no secret that Guan Duwei Wang Xu taught Shangguan to celebrate martial arts in the imperial tomb. Xiao Heng had heard of it a long time ago.

It's just that he didn't expect that one day he would go to pretend to be Shangguanqing.

The hidden danger of Wang Xu must be resolved, not that he should be killed so that he cannot come out and disrupt their plans.

Gu Chengfeng curled his mouth and patted his chest.

Who else can do such an important thing?

"Remember to give me the silver! You... Hold it in your hand first! Go back and ask you for it!"

Gu Chengfeng emphasized that after he finished his two ounces of silver, he flipped in wherever he hits, and then flipped out from where.

The martial arts is not good at dripping, the light power is really a must, and it has not alarmed the dead in the Palace of the National Masters.

"Remember to take the clearance." Xiao Heng said, looking at his back.

Xiao Heng watched Gu Chengfeng's back stagnate in the air, as if gritting his teeth and complaining about him, and then disappeared in the Palace of the National Teacher with a grudge.

The room became quiet again.

Don't look at so many things that happened, but time hasn't really passed.

In just half an hour, he completed the transformation of his identity from Xiao Heng to Shangguanqing, met the monarch and confronted the prince.

There is no way out. Once today is over, he will put himself in the vortex of power in Shengdu, and everyone will know that he is back.

There is more than one force spying on them in secret.

But the whirlpool of Shengdu is destined to grow bigger and bigger, until all the people who have hurt them are swallowed up and there is no bone left!

Duwei's Mansion is located on the outer side of the Dayan Palace. Entering from the outside, you have to pass through Gaomen, Fengtianmen and Duanmen in turn.

Gu Chengfeng hovered outside Gaomen, wondering whether he sneaked in, or just waited here.

"I just forgot to find out whether Wang Xu is in the middle of the court or not. If he has already left, then whether I sneak in or wait for him outside, there will be no result."

"No, he should be there. The monarch and Xiao Heng met, and based on my understanding of Xiao Heng, there is nothing wrong with the injury of the former maiden, Xiao Heng will also be a stranger! Since the monarch trusts Wang Xu so much, he must Wang Xu will be sent to investigate the case."

"And the crime scene is in the harem!"

Gu Chengfeng was amazed by his wit: "How did I become so smart? As expected, it is me!"

Wang Xu was indeed investigating the case in the harem, but there was no clue after investigation. The scene was very clean, except for the traces of Shangguanyan's fall, which were the footprints left by her personal little palace lady when she came to search for it.

In addition, there are several kinds of footprints belonging to the Eunuch Eunuch who came to move Shangguan Yan.

All their suspicions have been ruled out.

"It seems to be a master, who can do light work."

Wang Xu stood on the hillside, looked at the place where Shangguan Yan had fallen, and jumped.

This is a steep slope, but the walls are full of vines, and you can grab one or two even if you scratch it.

Wang Xu carefully inspected the scene for half an hour, and finally left with a calm face.

He is a foreigner. Although he was ordered to enter the harem to investigate the case, he could not walk in the harem privately. He was followed by Li Sande of the Hall of Harmony.

Li Sande didn't say much, just followed in silence.

When the two were about to leave the harem, a **** in his early thirties suddenly walked towards him.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Wang and Father Li? Such a coincidence." He smiled and said hello.

Li Sande owed slightly, and said very politely: "Gonggong Xu."

This person has a surname Xu and a high name. He is the celebrity next to Concubine Han.

Xu Gao smiled and glanced at Wang Xu, then chatted and said, "Master Wang is here to investigate the case? I wonder if Master Wang has a good eye?"

"Not yet." Wang Xu said.

Xu Gao's eyes flashed with a trace of loss: "That's it."

Wang Xu said: "It may not be artificial, maybe it was just an accident."

Xu Gao sighed: "Yes, in the harem, if you want to come to an ordinary assassin, you don't have the courage and ability to come in. No matter what, I hope Lord Wang will find out the truth as soon as possible and prevent the former maiden from being injured for nothing."

Wang Xu said: "It's nothing, I'm leaving now."

Xu Gao smiled and said, "Master Wang walks slowly."

Wang Xu left the harem.

Li Sande sent him out of the Meridian Gate.

Walking on the bluestone trail in the front, Wang Xu slowly spread his palms.

is a snag silk thread.

It was found in the thorn bushes on the hillside. There were no footprints of palace people in that place.

If this thread is not from Shangguanyan's clothing, it must belong to the murderer!

Gu Jiao slept for a long time this time, but Shangguanyan woke up first.

The effect of the anesthetic faded drastically, and her sanity regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes and looked at the strange top of the tent in a daze, not knowing where she was for a while.

"Woke up?"

Xiao Heng came over, looked at her and said.

Today's Xiao Heng didn't wear a mask, and revealed his face as it was.

Shang Guanyan looked at him straightforwardly, her mouth too open to close.

For a while, she closed her eyes: "I'm dreaming."

He is the person she can only see in her dreams.

Xiao Heng sat down next to her bed and fixedly looked at her: "Does the wound hurt?"

"It hurts?" Shangguanyan was startled, "It hurts."

She is hurting all over, this is not a dream.

She opened her eyes shudderingly, and looked at Xiao Heng with shining eyes.

Xiao Heng smiled softly.

Shang Guanyan suddenly became embarrassed, she could not move, only the eyeballs twirled in her eye sockets.

After that, the roots of her ears turned red at a visible speed.

Eh?

Xiao Heng was slightly startled.

It was not like this when you were in Tianxiang Pavilion. You can eat melon and see that Jiaojiao and I are not ashamed of this or that.

I think you are as deep as my dad.

Shangguanyan suffered more than one injury. She was entangled like a zongzi, and she moved her fingers.

Xiao Heng saw it, and asked her: "Are you going to get something?"

"The veil," she said.

Xiao Heng asked weirdly: "What do you do with the veil?"

Shang Guanyan sternly said: "Hiding my face, I am shy."

Xiao Heng: "..."

"Jiaojiao and Guo Shi performed the operation on you. The operation was very successful. Are there any discomforts?" Xiao Heng asked.

"No." Shang Guanyan said, and glanced at Gu Jiao on the small bed.

Xiao Heng followed her gaze and looked at it: "She is asleep."

Shang Guanyan let go of her voice: "Then let's speak quietly."

Xiao Heng smiled: "Okay."

Shang Guanyan looked at him with a flash of smile, and a ray of bright light flashed across his eyes.

But suddenly, she realized something, her expression changed slightly: "This is the Palace of the National Teacher? You... how can you come to the Palace of the National Teacher?"

Xiao Heng said calmly: "I have seen the monarch and the prince. I told them, I am Shangguanqing."

Shang Guanyan opened her mouth wide.

Xiao Heng continued: "I saw the portrait of Shangguanqing."

For an instant, countless complex emotions flashed through Shang Guanyan's eyes. She stared at Xiao Heng in a daze, and then she stopped talking for a few moments. In the end, she only turned into a cautious temptation: "You... all know?"

Xiao Heng nodded: "Yeah."

Shangguan Yan was stunned: "I know—what?"

Xiao Heng said: "Life experience."

Shang Guanyan's eyes flashed once again, but she quickly calmed down: "How did you know?"

"Guessed." Xiao Heng said truthfully.

What she did in Tianxiang Pavilion that day is very telling. In addition to his various experiences all the time, all kinds of news revealed by Ye Qing, and even the "His Royal Highness Changsun" that Zhang Dequan called out that night, they all told him Getting closer and closer to his own life experience.

And when he saw the portrait of Shangguanqing, this question finally had an answer.

He is the child of Shangguanyan.

It's just that he is still not completely sure of his relationship with Shangguanqing.

"Who is Shangguanqing? Is my brother?"

"Ok."

"Brother twins?"

"Hmm!" in a negative tone.

Xiao Heng opened his mouth: "Then he is—"

Shangguanyan bit her lip, and then whispered, "Xiao Qing."

Xiao Heng was not so surprised by this answer. There was no other reason. Shangguan Qing's birthday was Xiao Qing's birthday.

The baby Xiao Heng and Xiao Qing were poisoned at the same time. There was only one antidote. In order for Xiao Heng to get the antidote, Shangguanyan hid Shangguanqing and told Xuanpinghou that she had killed the people.

The process of convinced Xuanpinghou was not easy, and Shangguanyan did not want to mention more.

Even Shangguanyan's own fraudulent death was almost killed.

Shang Guanyan looked at Xiao Heng with a nervous and anxious look: "Do you think I am too cruel?"

In order to get his son the cure, he deprived Xiao Qing of the chance to live.

It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. He is not her. I don't know what kind of struggle she has endured in her heart.

She just wants her son to live. These years, she has been burdened with the debts to Xiao Qing and Xinyang, and the thoughts of her own flesh and blood. Perhaps anyone in this world can accuse her of being cruel, but relying on her cruelty. Xiao Heng who survived can't.

"No." Xiao Heng said, "How did you think of taking Xiao Qing away?"

Shangguanyan whispered: "I want to take him back to the National Master Hall to see if the National Master Hall can heal him. You may ask me why I don't take you away and see if the National Master Hall can heal you. Actually... Knowing the current situation, let me do it again, and I still make the same choice as before."

Guoji Hall is the way to retreat, not the best way.

She would rather be pointed out by a thousand husbands, would rather be insulted by her life, and she would still be the selfish mother.

Let her bear all the crimes and suffering, and her Ah Heng can only live well.

"You are not afraid that Princess Xinyang will kill me to avenge her son?" Princess Xinyang is not a weak woman, she is also very decisive. Of course, he is not accusing her of being naive, but just wanting to know more about what she has experienced. what.

Good, bad, dangerous, struggling hard, and what he has missed all these years.

Shang Guanyan said: "Xuan Pinghou will not let her know that her son was killed by me."

You really know my dad.

He indeed lied to Princess Xinyang, saying that Xiao Qing had died at the hands of the assassin.

Only later Xinyang princess still found out under the instigation of a caring person.

But she didn't succeed in killing me, and at the last minute she carried me out of the fire.

Shang Guanyan blamed herself: "It was I who attracted the assassins, otherwise it would not poison you two."

Xiao Heng hesitated, but decided to tell her: "Those assassins weren't brought by you, they were left by the emperor's people. The person who poisoned me and Xiao Qing back then was the dragon shadow left by the emperor Zhaoguo to my mother. Wei, the person they really wanted to kill was Xiao Qing. I was poisoned because they were not careful."

This tragedy has nothing to do with Shangguanyan, and we can only blame Xiandi.

And in a sense, fortunately, Shang Guanyan took Xiao Qing away, otherwise they would continue to attack Xiao Qing.

At that time, Long Yi was not there. Xuanpinghou and Princess Xinyang didn't suspect that they were on Long Yingwei's head. They were really unpredictable.

Shang Guanyan has been living in guilt towards Xiao Qing all these years. When she heard the news, she was a little unbelievable: "Did you deliberately make up stories to comfort me?"

Xiao Heng shook his head: "I don't have one, I can't make up this story."

The first emperor's brain circuit competed with that of King Dayan, both mad and ruthless.

Princess Xinyang married Xuanpinghou that year to prevent him from rebelling.

As soon as he gives birth to rebellion, Princess Xinyang will immediately let Long Yingwei kill him.

The first emperor knew that Princess Xinyang could not get along with men, and was not worried that Princess Xinyang would have admiration for Xuanping Hou, but the two were husband and wife after all. In case Xuanping Hou used a strong one, Princess Xinyang would give birth to his flesh and blood.

Who can guarantee that Princess Xinyang will not feel softened because of the child?

So the first emperor gave Long Yingwei an order that even Princess Xinyang didn't know-the children of Princess Xinyang and Xuanpinghou could not stay.

According to Xiao Heng's many years of observation, Princess Xinyang was not at all reluctant to Xuan Pinghou, so she now stabbed Xuan Pinghou with a knife, without blinking her eyelids.

The Emperor Xian really thinks too much.

Since ancient times, emperors are suspicious and harm others and themselves.

And there is another point that the first emperor was wrong, that is, some of them were really strong, but Xuan Pinghou was the one who was strong.

Forget the past.

Xiao Heng did not think about the entanglement between Princess Xinyang and Xuanpinghou. He expressed another doubt in his heart: "But, since Xiao Qing and I are not twins, why do they look exactly the same?"

As he said, he clicked on the tearful mole drawn under his right eye, "Even this mole is the same?"

Shangguan Yan said confidantly: "This is because... I changed his face."

Xiao Heng and Xiao Qing are half brothers, and they do have a certain degree of similarity in appearance. For example, the faces and noses of the two are very similar to Xuan Pinghou.

Brows and eyes are different.

Xiao Qing inherited Princess Xinyang, with apricot eyes and flat eyebrows, looking gentle and weak.

Xiao Heng inherited Shangguan Yan, Ruifeng's eyes and slightly raised sword eyebrows, with a hint of heroism, and he was very warm and healed when he laughed.

This is why all those who have seen Master Zhaodu Xiaohou say that he is a gentle and beautiful young man.

It's just that Xiao Heng had something to do and went to the people, the smile on his face was less, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared.

He put on an invisible fierce armor.

"In the early years, I didn't pay much attention to the issue of appearance, until one time I heard a person whispering that this child looks nothing like me. When I was a child, I didn't look bigger. Dian was willing to treat Xiao Qing because he was the eldest grandson of the emperor. If people could tell that he was not, he would not be able to continue to receive treatment. So I found someone to visit Zhaoguo, got your portrait, and took him away. Places like you are painted like you."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yan paused, "It was that time that you exposed your identity and let the prince know of your existence."

Xiao Heng had an epiphany: "That's it."

Then everything makes sense.

Xiao Heng touched the moles of tears on his face. Shangguanqing painted them after him. Now that his moles of tears are gone, is he imitating Shangguanqing, or is he imitating himself?

really dumbfounding.

"What's wrong?" Shang Guanyan looked at him and asked.

Xiao Heng said: "My mole is actually gone."

In order to prevent the group from finding him easily, Princess Xinyang burned off the moles of tears on his face after the fire.

He changed his appearance, his voice and body shape are different from before, and the mole is missing. Even his father Xuan Pinghou has spent a lot of effort and several controversies to confirm that it is him.

Shang Guanyan said softly: "She is very kind to you."

The tone is gratifying, but also sad and lonely.

She missed it after all.

In his nineteenth life, there has never been her mark.

"Can I... call you Ah Heng?"

The prince who was born and respected, even if she was tortured in public in the Jinluan Temple, she never lowered her noble head, and she never made a plea.

But at this time, just asking if I can call you this way will exhaust all the humbleness in my bones.

Xiao Heng said: "You can call it whatever you want."

Then can you call me—

Shang Guanyan didn't say this.

She lowered her eyes, holding back the sadness and sourness in her heart.

Can't cry.

The descendants of the Xuanyuan family shed blood but did not cry. She did not cry even when she gave birth, and she did not cry even when her bones were broken.

She does not cry.

Xiao Heng actually has many things to ask her, such as what happened last night, what happened more than ten years ago, why she became a slave girl—

Xiao Heng looked at her weak body and said: "You take a rest first, I'll get some food."

"Ok."

There was a choking in her voice.

She tried to suppress.

Xiao Heng stood up and paused.

Shangguanyan's heart suddenly mentioned.

Are you going to call her?

Is it true?

Xiao Heng said: "Forgot to ask what you want to eat. You have just had an operation. Both millet porridge and barley porridge are good."

"Oh." Shang Guanyan was lost and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Xiao Heng: "Then millet porridge?"

Shangguanyan: "Yes."

She has no appetite.

She is a bad woman.

She is not worthy to be his mother.

Xiao Heng stepped to the door, and when he was about to cross the threshold, his steps stopped again.

"It might be a bit late to say this, but..."

He turned around and looked at her sincerely: "Thank you for giving birth to me."

"Thank you for bringing me into this world, and thank you for everything you have done for me."

"Mother."

The mother who had been waiting for 19 years, tendered the years, and comforted the more than 7,000 days and nights of separation.

Shangguanyan choked up and couldn't speak.

—Thank you too, my son.
