Nan Qingyang's seemingly casual words could not conceal the reluctance in his eyes. He stood up and slowly left.

Xuan Yue's eyes were slightly red. This was the first time she felt the care and concern from someone other than her mother.

I think Nan Qingyang already knew her identity. Also, how could the King of Jin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was so famous on the battlefield, easily accept a woman from an enemy country living in the military camp for so long?

He had already found out her background, but he still took her in.

The people searching for her outside the military camp must be the high priest and the king's men, in addition to the shadow guards.

Once Nan Qingyang left, she could no longer stay in the military camp. But where should she go after leaving the military camp? Where could she escape the assassination attempt by the East Witch Kingdom?

Xuan Yue didn't have much time to think, she had to make a decision immediately.

So, early the next morning, she entered Nan Qingyang's tent alone...

"What happened next?"

Nan Rongjing suddenly stopped talking here, and Lin Yushu couldn't help but ask.

Nan Rongjing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My father refused to elaborate, but I guess they got engaged on that day, and then my mother was escorted to the Shen family's old house, where she waited for my father to propose."

"About five months later, my parents returned to the capital to hold their wedding, and I was born a year later."

Lin Yushu nodded thoughtfully. She felt that something was missing from this experience.

Nan Rongjing guessed what she was thinking.

"You can hear it, right? My mother must have had an accident on the way from Youzhou to Shen's house, and then from Shen's house to the capital!"

"That's right, otherwise the Jade Moon would not have broken!"

"As for my mother's death..."

Nan Rongjing took a deep breath and continued to repeat King Jin's words.

In the half year after Xuan Yue gave birth to Nan Rongjing, Prince of Jin Nan Qingyang and Princess of Jin "Shen Xuanyue" lived in love and had a very good relationship, making Xuan Yue the envy of the whole capital.

Nan Qingyang never hesitated to show his care for Xuan Yue. Even in front of Emperor Ming, the couple were affectionate and the emperor praised them endlessly.

"My brother and his wife are indeed very loving and affectionate. They are truly the envy of others."

Emperor Ming often looked at Xuan Yue and joked with her.

Xuan Yue was extremely beautiful, especially her pair of peach blossom eyes. They were obviously a pair of amorous eyes, but Xuan Yue always had a pure temperament that was ignorant of the world, which made these eyes particularly lively.

The three years since she escaped from the East Wu Kingdom and stayed with Nan Qingyang were the happiest times for Xuan Yue. She thought she would continue to be happy like this.

However, the assassins from the East Witch Kingdom still found her.

That day was the day when Nan Rongjing turned six months old. Nan Qingyang went to the Ministry of War early in the morning, hoping to finish the government affairs early so that he could return home early to celebrate with the mother and son.

But he never expected that before he could return, Xuan Yue's courtyard in Prince Jin's Mansion was engulfed in flames.

After Nan Qingyang learned the news, he ran back home like crazy.

"Your Majesty!"

The old steward rushed over crying, "Princess, something's wrong!"

The servants and guards put out the fire, but could not save Xuan Yue.

Her cold body was covered with dust, and her expression was peaceful, as if she was asleep.

Nan Qingyang knelt beside Xuan Yue in a daze, as if his soul had gone out. He knelt there for the entire night.

It was not until Emperor Ming personally arrived that Nan Qingyang was helped back into the house in a daze.

"Perhaps it was because of the great shock, my father did not remember clearly what happened that day."

"But there is one thing he is sure of, Xuan Yue was poisoned to death, and the person who killed her is definitely from the East Witch Country."

Lin Yushu was a little confused, "So the purpose of setting the fire was to find the gold-eating Gu?"

"It is very likely that fire cannot kill the gold-eating Gu, but it may force it out."

"Prince Jin... do you know about the gold-eating Gu?"

Nan Rongjing's expression turned a little cold when he heard this.

"He knew. He also knew that my mother carried a jade pendant with her, which should be the fragment of the Jade Moon Jade. After my mother died, my father searched the palace but couldn't find these two things. That's why he was so sure that the person who killed my mother was from the East Witch Country."

Therefore, Nan Qingyang resolutely abandoned his young son and asked for permission to return to Youzhou. He wanted to find the murderer who killed Xuan Yue and avenge her personally.

Until Nan Rongjing was five years old, the poison broke out and Nan Qingyang still did not come back.

They all knew what happened afterwards. Nan Rongjing was tortured by the gold-eating insect for more than ten years, and was completely ignored by Nan Qingyang for more than ten years.

But now that Nan Rongjing has learned the secret of his mother's death, the father and son have a common goal and their relationship has eased a lot.

"There is one thing I don't understand. If the people of Dongwu Country knew that Xuan Yue was the Princess of Jin, and they didn't get the Gold-eating Gu after Xuan Yue's death, shouldn't they have assassinated the King of Jin and you as soon as possible?"

Prince Jin and Nan Rongjing are Xuan Yue’s closest people, and there is a high probability that we can get clues about the poisonous insect from them.

Maybe they don't have the ability to assassinate Prince Jin and Nan Rongjing, but for more than ten years, Nan Rongjing has never been harassed by the people of Dongwu Kingdom, which is very strange.

Nan Rongjing thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Could it be... that they don't know that Xuan Yue is my mother?"

Lin Yushu was shocked, but then she felt that this guess made sense.

"If all the people who assassinated your mother were dead, and the East Wu Kingdom didn't have time to get any clues, it's possible that they didn't know Xuan Yue's identity in the Great Zhou."

"Then, the bodies of those assassins..."

"There was also a second force that appeared in Prince Jin's Mansion that day!"

They were the ones who cleaned up the assassin's body. So, at whose hands did Xuan Yue die?

The complicated clues gave the two of them a headache, and Lin Yushu spoke to comfort him.

"At least we have guessed the existence of the second force. Prince Jin has been investigating at the border of the East Witch Country for so many years and still has no clues. This shows that the second force is the key!"

-

On the other side, inside Kunning Palace.

The queen's face was ashen, and under her dark circles was a bloodless mouth, like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld, making people dare not look directly at her.

"Can you say that again."

The eunuch kneeling on the ground had a trembling voice and lowered his head, not daring to look at the queen.

"The spies got the news from the Imperial Guards that the Prince of Jin has found out the truth about the Crown Prince's death. The murderer is... yes, it's His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince!"

Wow!

The queen swept everything she could reach to the ground, and the palace was instantly in a mess.

"Does His Majesty know?"

The eunuch trembled even more violently, and his voice became tearful.

"The Prince of Jin submitted a memorial yesterday..."

"Where is Nan Huaishuo now?"

"Your Majesty summoned His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince yesterday. I don't know what they said, and then... His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince left."

!!!

"Hahahaha, good, good, your Majesty is truly wise and powerful, as cold-blooded and ruthless as ever!"

The queen laughed crazily, her eyes red.

"It doesn't matter. I can personally avenge Xuan'er!"
