The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

After Xie Lang finished speaking, the entire bedroom fell silent for a moment.

No one spoke for a long time.

Xue Mingyue also stood there in a daze, her almond-shaped eyes full of astonishment... Xie Lang had not told her the whole truth before, he only revealed that the prince's death was closely related to Emperor Jingping, but she did not expect it to be this kind of relationship.

This means that the prince's death was indirectly caused by Emperor Jingping.

Moreover, Emperor Jingping has known the truth for so many years. Xue Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little surprised. No wonder he hardly mentioned the prince in public in the first two or three years, and did not allow others to mention the prince.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Queen Lu.

The mother's face turned weak and pale in an instant, her body swayed and seemed to be on the verge of falling. If Xue Mingyue's hand had not been on her shoulder, she would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

Upon seeing this, Xue Mingyue quickly put away the dagger and held back her body.

But the next moment, Queen Lu pursed her pale lips and shook her head gently. She slowly raised her arm, and it could be seen that her hand was trembling, and she held Xue Mingyue's wrist.

It was as if he was trying to draw strength from her to support himself.

Her palms were cold.

Queen Lu's hands and feet turned cold in an instant, and even the last trace of blood disappeared from her lips. She slowly lowered her eyes and murmured, "So that's how it is. So that's how it is."

Her husband killed her and his child.

Xue Mingyue looked at her distraught appearance, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and said softly: "My queen, please cheer up."

"Shut up... shut up, shut up!"

At this moment, Emperor Jingping suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

He didn't know where he got the strength from, he raised his hand and snatched the medicine bowl from Liu Shen who was serving beside him, and said in a crazy tone: "...I don't know any of this! I didn't kill the prince!"

"He is my most proud son, how could I possibly kill him!"

It's obvious, obvious that he is meddling in other people's business!

Emperor Jingping supported himself on the bed with his hands, his mostly white hair scattered as he moved. He shook his head vigorously, his eyes containing complex emotions such as resentment, disgust and hatred, but there was no regret.

He is the emperor, how could he do anything wrong!

The prince has been smart since he was young, so how could he not know that during these years since he ascended the throne, he has been thinking about how to divide and take back the power from King Dingyuan. After discovering his plan, the prince should do it according to his plan!

...Who told him to act on his own initiative! If he hadn't taken the initiative to inform Xie Nandai, he wouldn't have died!

Xie Lang lowered his eyelids indifferently.

Looking at him quietly like a madman, with the corner of his mouth curled up in sarcasm, he thought to himself, as expected.

People like him always put themselves first in their hearts.

"You didn't kill the prince, but he died because of you."

"You regard the Crown Prince as your heir and devote all your efforts to raising him. It seems that you have no reservations about the Crown Prince, but dare you ask yourself, do you really trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xie Lang said with a sarcastic tone, pulling the corner of his lips: "You don't believe it, but you are suspicious of the prince because of his excellence."

Otherwise, why would they allow an assassin who wanted to kill the prince to infiltrate the team?

With his control over the court at the time, these people could not have placed people under his nose unless he wanted to, so the fact was that he wanted to use this incident to suppress the prince.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jingping suddenly looked up at him.

His pupils trembled violently, and he pointed his finger at Xie Lang with trembling hands. His eyes were bloodshot, and he gasped with difficulty, hysterical: "What do you know? You know nothing!"

Xie Lang sneered, then shifted his gaze away from him and moved to the back.

Looking at the pale face of Empress Lu, she said calmly, "Your Majesty, the person who shot and killed the Crown Prince was Zhang Dazhong, a eunuch beside His Majesty. He knew that if he accidentally killed the Crown Prince, His Majesty would definitely not let him go, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"The others fabricated a story that His Highness was killed by a stray arrow, and His Majesty silenced them after they returned to the capital."

Hearing this, Queen Lu's eyelids trembled, and she forced herself to look over.

She was a little dazed, and then she remembered that there was indeed a person named Zhang Dazhong. Ten years ago, he suddenly asked the emperor for permission to retire and return to his hometown. The emperor agreed, and he has never appeared in the palace since then.

Liu Shen was also stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

Back in the palace, Zhang Dazhong was his mortal enemy, and he heard that Zhang Dazhong went to work for the emperor, but things went wrong, so he died outside, and retiring to his hometown was just an excuse.

Xie Lang said it so lightly.

But Queen Lu's heart trembled, her figure swayed again, and her voice was as light as a gust of wind: "And then?"

Xue Mingyue lowered her eyes and held her shoulders.

"The reason why I know this is because Zhang Dazhong and others were not the only ones who knew about this," Xie Lang said. "Zhang Dazhong had a little apprentice who was taken to the border with him. After he accidentally killed the prince, Zhang Dazhong let him escape for his life."

After hearing this, everyone present looked at him in disbelief.

Even though he said it as if it was easy, any link in it was actually not simple. Lian Dongshu fell silent. Even though he knew that Zhang Dazhong had a little apprentice, how to find him was harder than climbing to the sky.

There was no way he could find someone in such a short time.

But Xie Lang found it.

Xue Mingyue couldn't help but look at him when she heard that.

"Coincidentally, I just found this person some time ago. He is the Taoist boy who follows Taoist Zi Yu." Xie Lang curled the corners of his mouth, and a hint of mockery appeared between his eyebrows.

Xue Mingyue seemed to sense something and her eyes met his.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and in an instant an idea flashed in her mind. Her eyes suddenly widened slightly, and she subconsciously opened her mouth, but realizing the occasion, she swallowed the words back the moment she spoke.

At this time, Xie Lang nodded in her direction.

It seemed to confirm her guess.

Xue Mingyue's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she couldn't help but clench her fingers:

——Master Zi Yu is my grandfather’s good friend. Since Zhang Dazhong’s little disciple has become a Taoist boy by his side and has revealed what happened in the past in this life, he must have done the same in his previous life.

Therefore, one of the reasons why my grandfather was killed and eventually involved in treason and died tragically was because he knew the truth ten years ago.

It's not just the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also the truth that His Majesty collaborated with the barbarians to frame King Dingyuan.

Perhaps this is the real reason why my grandfather died in his previous life.

No wonder, no wonder all of grandpa’s friends and students had connections and relationships in the court, but in the end no one could save him. Xue Mingyue’s lips trembled slightly, that was because His Majesty wanted him to die.
