"Prince, you mean …" Xiahou Qing's brows furrowed. "But Princess Hexin herself is in prison."
Xiao Minglan was confused. She rubbed her temples and said, "I don't know … I don't know who to trust in today's world, and who is worthy of my trust.
All these years, I couldn't figure out why Princess Hexin fell ill at such a timely time. If it wasn't for that emergency, what would have happened to her? With Empress Zhou's scheming mind, would she have predicted it in advance and made other arrangements? Later, I always wanted to ask Princess Hexin what happened that day, but I heard that after she woke up, the memory disappeared inexplicably. So it was left unsettled. "
Xiao Minglan's last voice was like a wisp of formless smoke. Once it dispersed, there was no trace of it. "Prince Xiahou, that's all I know. I'm afraid that I can't unravel some mysteries in my lifetime. I can only leave it to you, please."
It was already two quarters in the afternoon when they came out of Prince Ke's Mansion.
Jiu Si helped Xiahou Qing into the carriage. When the carriage was three miles away from the Prince's Mansion, he said in a low voice, "Prince Ke, is what Prince Ke said just now credible?"
Xiahou Qing leaned on the soft cushion and concentrated. There was an incense burning in front of him. The smoke was mixed with the fragrance of medicine that could suppress the pain in his limbs and bones.
He slowly shook his head. "Half of what he said is true and half of it is false."
"But the past he said is true and sincere. The cause and effect are all connected. I really can't tell which is true and which is false."
"Indeed. Because there are not many people who have witnessed the past and are still alive in this world. Because no matter what he said, we can't tell the truth. But there are still a few small flaws in his carefully woven lies. Bring me tea. "
Xiahou Qing stretched out his finger and dipped it into the cold tea that Jiusi handed him. Then, he copied Ning Shu's previous appearance on the small table in front of him and wrote the word "one" in the shape of a red-crowned crane flying through the air.
"In his description, Empress Zhou is an extremely deep and vicious person. She is the opposite of the intelligent, sensible, decent and kind Empress Zhou described by Duke Ning. They are like two completely different people. This is one of the reasons. "
"Second, Prince Ke repeatedly emphasized that he was less than six years old when the palace rebellion happened, so no one suspected him. But who was the person he wanted to deal with? The most terrible Empress Zhou in his words. How could such a meticulous woman, whose heart was as vicious as a snake and scorpion, not have noticed his secret spying and did not take any measures against him? It doesn't make sense.
"Finally, did you notice that when he was talking about Empress Zhou's death, he inadvertently said, 'I thought that after Empress Zhou's death, our great hatred was avenged and the coffin closed. I didn't expect that the vengeful spirit would come back full of resentment … There is a very special word in this sentence. "
After following Xiahou Qing for ten years, Jiu Si was very sharp and immediately reacted, "Resentment?"
"Yes." Xiahou Qing nodded and tapped his fingertips on the small table, "What is resentment? If an honest person walked on the mountain and fell to his death for no reason, he wouldn't be resentful. Most people would just admit that they were unlucky and blame themselves for being careless. If a person who killed people like scything flax was killed for revenge, he wouldn't be resentful. The justice of heaven should be like this. Even if he were to be resentful, it would be anger. So to be resentful, it must be in a situation where the person was unguarded and exposed their back to the person they trusted, but was suddenly betrayed. The anger in the heart can't dissipate and accumulates. Mixed with monstrous hatred, it can give birth to resentment that makes one's heart tremble.
Why did he subconsciously say those words? Did it mean that the truth was completely different from what he said? In that great chaos, the siblings weren't innocent victims, but the people holding the sharp blade. "
