To the outside world, the Jade Blood Sword had always been said to have been forged by Zhu Minglang's grandfather.
After it was forged, the Jade Blood Sword had long since been snatched away. Zhu Minglang's grandfather had even passed away because of the dispute.
After Zhu Tianguan learned his lesson, he continued to hide the Zhu Sect's strength while developing it. In the following years, he secretly eliminated his old enemies and took back the fragments of the Jade Blood Sword that had been scattered all over the world.
"Then who knows?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"In order to hide it, I forged it in the inner court of Qin City. The only person who knows is your uncle," Zhu Tianguan said.
When Zhu Minglang heard this, his expression immediately darkened.
He remembered something.
Back then, it was Imperial Consort Zhu who had recommended the little prince Zhao Yu to Zhu Wangxing, saying that he would help Zhu Wangxing get rid of the spies that Prince An had planted in the inner court of the Zhu Sect.
"Before I came, I saw Elder Auntie. Elder Auntie is bent on death, and she seems to have some guilt towards our Zhu Sect." Zhu Minglang said. He immediately described the strange situation in the small inner court of Zither City to Zhu Tianguan.
"Then it makes sense. Yu Zhi has done something that is detrimental to our Zhu Sect. Sigh." Zhu Tianguan sighed softly.
Zhu Minglang frowned.
In other words, it was Imperial Consort Zhu who had leaked the Jade Blood Sword to the Imperial Family. He had recommended the little prince Zhao Yu to Zhu Wangxing because he wanted to know the whereabouts of the Jade Blood Sword from Zhu Wangxing. In the end, he had received a definite answer.
Zhu Minglang roughly organized the situation.
He had met the Sparrow Wolf God and Prince An at Snowy Peak Mountain.
At that time, the Sparrow Wolf God had indicated that he was looking for something, and Prince An was willing to help.
When Zhu Minglang had been at Man City's Dragon Tamer Academy, Zhu Wangxing had also made a trip to the Imperial Capital.
In the Imperial City, Imperial Consort Zhu introduced the young prince, Zhao Yu, to Zhu Wang Xing. On the surface, it was said that she wanted to use Zhao Yu to get rid of An Wang's forces, but in reality, it was to inquire about the Jade Blood Sword in Guqin City.
Zhu Minglang had never mentioned this matter to him. At that time, Zhu Minglang had felt that something was strange. Now that he thought about it, Zhu Wang Xing had most likely already sided with Queen Zhu and was secretly assisting the imperial family.
"Which side is Elder Auntie on?" Zhu Minglang was also confused. He couldn't tell which side Imperial Concubine Zhu was on.
"Generally speaking, she's on our side. However, she's still an emotional woman. Zhao Yuan's actions have clearly crossed the line, and he's clearly lost his rationality. Yet, Yu Zhi is still supporting him numbly, to the point where things have come to this," Zhu Tianguan said.
"Oh, oh, I thought …" Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
For a few moments, Zhu Minglang really thought that Imperial Concubine Zhu had some other feelings for his father. After all, from Zhao Yuan's words, he could tell that Zhao Yuan had always felt that the person Imperial Concubine Zhu truly loved was Zhu Tianguan, who had saved her life back then.
"What did you think? Could it be that rumor? That I saved Yu Zhi's life, and Yu Zhi should have repaid me with her body, but Imperial King Zhao Yuan interfered. Zhu Yuzhi became the imperial concubine, and your father, I, suffered every day and night. In the end, I married a female sect leader of the Mount Yi Sword Sect who had no feelings for me at all. After the female sect leader found out about this, she left her only son in anger and returned to Mount Yi to pursue the Dao?? "Zhu Tianguan said unhappily.
Zhu Minglang listened in a daze.
To tell the truth, this rumor had always existed in the Imperial City.
In the past, Zhu Minglang couldn't ask about Elder Auntie Zhu Yuzhi because of this rumor.
What if it was true??
"I don't know why, but I feel that this story is quite reasonable," Zhu Minglang said.
"It's purely made up by those senseless old storytellers. The common people love this kind of gossip!" Zhu Tianguan said.
"Yes, rumors are harmful!" Zhu Minglang hurriedly nodded. How could he not be harmed by it?!
"I don't blame your Elder Auntie. She wanted to express her true feelings to Zhao Yuan, so it was inevitable that she would hurt us. Everyone has times when they lose themselves. However, Zhao Yuan is already beyond redemption. I know this very well, but she couldn't see it clearly. I tried to persuade her, but since she's already prepared for this, then let her be. " Zhu Tianguan was more open-minded. He didn't delve into the matter of Imperial Concubine Zhu. After all, she was already dead.
"The wound wasn't caused by herself. In fact, I still don't understand what killed her." Zhu Minglang was still thinking about that wound that couldn't be healed.
What caused the wound that would cause the Healing Dragon Saliva to accelerate her death?
"You don't need to worry about it. She chose Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan still doubted her. A dignified death is already a very good ending for her," Zhu Tianguan said.
For some reason, Zhu Minglang felt that Sky Chasing Official knew that she would die, and even knew how she would die.
From Zhu Tianguan's tone and demeanor, he really didn't have much affection for Zhu Yuzhi. Even when Zhao Yuan held Imperial Concubine Zhu's corpse in a daze, it was more like he had feelings for her. Zhu Tianguan was very calm, as if he was the one who killed her.
Or perhaps, when Imperial Concubine Zhu betrayed the Zhu Clan, Zhu Tianguan had already suffered enough that he viewed her as a stranger in his heart. After all, Zhu Tianguan wasn't surprised that Imperial Concubine Zhu had helped the imperial clan inquire about the Jade Blood Sword. He just seemed to understand a few things that he once couldn't understand.
The outside world rumored that the Zhu Clan's current status was due to Imperial Concubine Zhu's support. Many people in the Zhu Clan's inner court believed this as well.
But after witnessing the Zhu Clan's true strength, Zhu Minglang more or less understood that Imperial Concubine Zhu had indeed helped the Zhu Clan a lot in the past, but now, she was a dispensable existence. And the Zhu Clan had been hidden for so many years until Zhao Yuan finally saw through them. Zhao Yuan was determined to destroy the Zhu Clan. Perhaps Imperial Concubine Zhu had revealed some things that shouldn't have been revealed …
No wonder Imperial Concubine Zhu felt guilty when she saw him.
She had betrayed the Zhu Clan.
Emperor Zhao Yuan knew the truth and sensed danger, so he spared no expense to form an alliance with the Sparrow Wolf God.
Zhao Yuan wanted to take back his true authority and rule as emperor, while the Sparrow Wolf God used the imperial clan to recover his divine power and take the Jade Blood Sword. Whether it was Zhao Yuan or the Sparrow Wolf God, they couldn't take down the Zhu Clan on their own, but their alliance was a disaster for the Zhu Clan!
"Eldest Aunt is dead."
"I know."
Zhu Minglang recalled the first thing he'd said to Zhu Tianguan when he'd first met him. And Zhu Tianguan's reply had been so calm that he found it hard to comprehend.
There were so many details and truths that he didn't know.
Only by remaining calm could Zhu Tianguan show that he still had a trace of respect for his sister, Zhu Yuzhi, who was not related to him by blood. Otherwise, what she had done would have hurt the Zhu Clan, hurt Zhu Tianguan, who had once saved her …
