How did Qi Man and Crown Prince Hong Xi finally roll on the bed? The emperor must have contributed a lot. However, when Xiang Xiaoyuan saw the scene in front of her that day, she didn't fly into a rage as everyone thought. She talked and laughed, and almost didn't make any mistakes. She saved Crown Prince Hong Xi's face and made Qi Man, who was provoking and watching the fun, speechless in the end.
Xiang Xiaoyuan personally married Qi Man for Crown Prince Hong Xi.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was hot-tempered and had a possessive desire beyond ordinary people in emotional matters. However, she was also a person who took the general situation into consideration. She understood the priorities of many things and only swallowed the unhappiness in her heart silently. For the peace of the Jin Dynasty.
Crown Prince Hong Xi was schemed against by his own brother and hated Qi Man very much. Xiang Xiaoyuan compromised so much, which made him feel more pity for his wife. Not only did the two not become estranged because of this, but they became more intimate. As for Qi Man, who lived in the palace, they just treated her as if she didn't exist.
Everyone underestimated the means of the Princess of Nanjiang, or thought that she was just a woman and couldn't make any waves. Everyone knew that women's jealousy was terrible. Qi Man couldn't stand that her beloved treated her with disdain but spoke softly to other women. Nanjiang Country was good at using Voodoo. She controlled Xiang Xiaoyuan and planted an extremely terrible Voodoo on her. She had wanted to use Xiang Xiaoyuan to control Crown Prince Hong Xi, but who knew that Xiang Xiaoyuan would have a fiery temper. She knew that the crown prince of a country, the future heir apparent, could not be controlled by a woman, so she simply left on her own. She had superb medical skills and wanted to find a place to cure the curse herself. If she failed, dying outside would be the best outcome.
Fate would always silently deliver a fatal blow. Xiang Xiaoyuan's departure had ultimately become her eternal farewell with Crown Prince Hong Xi. She didn't cure the Voodoo in the end. Not long after, someone came to the door with Xiang Xiaoyuan's ashes. That person was Mr. Hakone. Mr. Hakone was older than Xiang Xiaoyuan, but he was Xiang Xiaoyuan's apprentice. Before Xiang Xiaoyuan came to the capital, she lived with Mr. Hakone in the deep mountains. Xiang Xiaoyuan taught Hakone Serpent all her medical skills. Hakone Serpent inherited her medical skills and recognized her as his young master.
Crown Prince Hong Xi suffered a huge blow and was about to kill Qi Man when Empress Dowager Yi De stopped him. Qi Man expressed that as long as Crown Prince Hong Xi treated her well, she could still lend him the 100,000 soldiers in the southern borders. However, he was rejected by Crown Prince Hong Xi. In a moment of bravery, he took Xiao Shao, who was still in swaddling clothes, out of the pass to quell the rebellion. He only left a letter, saying that the position of Emperor was ultimately not suitable for him. However, before that, since Xiang Xiaoyuan had already sacrificed herself for the greater good, he had to hand the country safely into the hands of the Emperor.
How the Crown Prince, who ruled the country and pacified the world, took the lead in the rebellion of the Eight Princes and swept away all obstacles was recorded in the history books. It was just that the bitterness of the war could not be recorded in the books. Crown Prince Hong Xi himself had paid a great price. In the final battle, he had captured the enemy troops, but at the last moment, he was surrounded by a hundred thousand soldiers of the Southern Wilderness. Those soldiers had come for him. Crown Prince Hong Xi would rather die than submit, fighting to the end. In the end, he died under the trampling of the army. And the little Prince also died in that war.
But in fact, Xiao Shao did not die. Long before that, Crown Prince Hong Xi had a premonition that the Southern Wilderness was likely to encounter such a thing midway. Therefore, he swapped Xiao Shao out, replacing him with another baby. The real Xiao Shao was raised in the Jinying Wangfu.
Although Crown Prince Hong Xi was dead, the rebellion of the Eight Princes was finally quelled in a tragic way by his desperate fighting style. The Emperor ascended to the position, and this chaotic struggle finally came to an end. The Emperor had just ascended to the throne, and his foundation was not stable. Crown Prince Hong Xi's few old subordinates were also almost sacrificed when quelling the rebellion. Empress Dowager Yi De had no choice but to marry Princess Yuan Rong out to gain support.
And after the Emperor sat firmly on the throne, the first thing he did was to destroy the Nanjiang Kingdom that had caused all this. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Princess of the Nanjiang Kingdom had bullied them too much, so she had to pay with their land and the blood of their people. The Nanjiang Kingdom was destroyed, but the whereabouts of the Princess were not found. And the dead people would not come back to life.
Time gradually passed, and the Great Jin Dynasty gradually stabilized. The old ministers were buried, and the new ministers entered the court. The number of people who could remember the tragic struggle for the throne was already very few. It seemed that everyone had come to the conventional view that the Great Jin Dynasty had been handed over to the current Emperor by the previous Emperor. There was no such thing as Crown Prince Hong Xi, and there was no such thing as Princess Yuan Rong. History only recorded the victors, and those who were sacrificed were always brushed aside.
But there were always people who remembered, and Jinying Wangfu was one of them. Jinying Wangfu and Jinying Wangfei were the old subordinates of Crown Prince Hong Xi. Rather than subordinates, it was better to say that they were close friends. Crown Prince Hong Xi made a lot of friends and was righteous. Jinying Wangfu had been greatly indebted to him. Jinying Wangfu had always been a part of Crown Prince Hong Xi's power. Crown Prince Hong Xi had entrusted Xiao Shao to Jinying Wangfu before the accident. He did not keep Xiao Shao in the palace, and also instructed Jinying Wangfu to keep the secret of Xiao Shao's identity. Perhaps he did not want his own flesh and blood to walk the same path as him. Living in the royal family might look glamorous, but who knew the helplessness within. Perhaps being born in the marketplace was a bit more joyful.
Jinying Wangfu and his wife really kept their word, unexpectedly announcing to the outside world that Xiao Shao was their flesh and blood. Afterwards, the two of them did not conceive another child, and they truly did like Xiao Shao.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shao had grown from a babbling child to a cold youth. However, one day, his identity was exposed. The people of the Southern Border seemed to have mixed into the capital, and they seemed to be people who knew about that matter back then. Gradually, assassins began to appear at Xiao Shao's side. At the same time that the people of the Southern Border seemed to have discovered his identity, the Emperor finally found him.
At that time, if Crown Prince Hong Xi had not died, the present Emperor should have been succeeded by Crown Prince Hong Xi. The Emperor had always felt guilty that his unintentional actions had caused the deaths of Xiang Xiaoyuan and his elder brother. After so many years, he had thought that Xiao Shao had long died. He did not want to discover that the person who had originally died was actually living right under his eyes. Naturally, he wanted to groom Xiao Shao as the future heir apparent. However, Jinying Wangfu and the Emperor were at loggerheads. Jinying Wangfu abided by the promise he had made with Crown Prince Hong Xi. He would never allow Xiao Shao's identity to be exposed, nor would he allow Xiao Shao to return to the palace. The Emperor was furious, but he could do nothing. At that time, Xiao Shao still did not know of his past. Coincidentally, there was a rebellion in the capital by the accomplices of the original rebels. The rebels rebelled, and the Emperor gave Jinying Wangfu a difficult problem. He did not give him the military seal and wanted him to quell the rebellion. Originally, he wanted to use this matter to blackmail Jinying Wangfu. He did not expect that Jinying Wangfu would leave the capital to quell the rebellion that very night. He believed that a gentleman would die for his bosom friend. A real man should die a worthy death. Jinying Wangfu was also a wonderful person. In this war that was doomed to fail, he ultimately still managed to trick the Emperor. He used a secret order to mobilize the Brocade Guards to assume a rebellious posture.
Jinying Wangfu died on the way to quell the rebellion. However, the matter of the Brocade Guards' rebellion in the capital was still buzzing. Jinying Wangfu used his own life to protect Xiao Shao's secret. From then on, Xiao Shao was a rebel. If he wanted to enter the court, there would inevitably be a lot of resistance. If the Emperor wanted to make arrangements, it would not be so simple. More importantly, Xiao Shao himself would not be willing. And those people of the Southern Border who had become aware of this would inevitably be confused by this matter. Even if it was a short period of time, it was enough for Xiao Shao to grow.
Jinying Wangfei revealed everything about Xiao Shao's life. The next day, she hanged herself and left with Jinying Wangfu. In one night, Xiao Shao encountered great changes. In one night, the illustrious Wangfu became a rebel, and his life was full of twists and turns. Jinying Wangfu and his wife treated him with sincerity. After so many years, they had already formed a relationship that was no different from their own flesh and blood. Even so, they suddenly discovered that their parents were other people. For him, this could not be said to not be shocking.
The Brocade Guards had always been under the command of Jinying Wangfu, but Jinying Wangfu was Crown Prince Hong Xi's man. Rather than saying that these 100,000 Brocade Guards were left to Xiao Shao by Jinying Wangfu, it would be better to say that many years ago, Crown Prince Hong Xi had left them to Xiao Shao. It was just that before that, Xiao Shao had not accepted the Brocade Guards, and the Brocade Guards would not obey a young master for no reason. In that short few years, Xiao Shao had learned the art of assassins from Jia Nanshan. He grew rapidly and finally won the approval of the Brocade Guards. He was able to use the token to mobilize the soldiers.
And the first thing that he wanted to do was to take revenge.
The Nan Jiang Country was like a centipede, dead but not dead. Although the country had long been destroyed, the remaining forces repeatedly tried to make a comeback. Qi Man's old subordinates were even more restless, waiting for an opportunity to make a move against the Great Jin dynasty. When Xiao Shao was young, he had repeatedly gone deep into the Nan Jiang. He had discovered that there seemed to be an extremely mysterious force in the Nan Jiang that was currently uniting those scattered Nan Jiang people. Although on the surface, it did not seem to be remarkable, but one day, their goal would be to face the Great Jin dynasty.
When Xiao Shao finished speaking, Jiang Ruan quietly looked at him. From beginning to end, Xiao Shao's expression was very calm. His long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it impossible for people to clearly see his emotions. It seemed that he was used to not revealing his own thoughts, or perhaps it was because in the past years, he had already experienced enough things, so that now, there was no pain that could easily move him.
Jiang Ruan slowly walked to his side and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist. No matter who it was, if at this time, they could feel some warmth, it would always be good. Xiao Shao's body stiffened, and he seemed to tremble. Slowly, he reached out to cover her soft arms around his waist.
"Since you are not willing to enter the palace and become the Emperor, and he treats you so well, why bother with the matters of the Nan Jiang?" Jiang Ruan said softly, "You want revenge, but you can't let it go, right?"
"He" naturally referred to the Emperor. In the whole matter, the Emperor seemed to play a very unpleasant role. Perhaps it was because of his position, but in Jiang Ruan's view, among the children of Empress Dowager Yi De, Crown Prince Hong Xi and the Emperor were actually not very suitable for the position of the Emperor. On the contrary, it was Princess Yuan Rong who was magnanimous and calm, but unfortunately, she was a woman. Crown Prince Hong Xi was too soft-hearted and emotional, so he was more suitable to be a free and leisurely young master. And the current Emperor was like a spoiled child. Although he had changed a lot because he was in a high position for so many years, in his bones, he was still the same, selfish and willful.
"This is what they sacrificed their lives to obtain, so I have to protect it." Xiao Shao said lightly.
'They' referred to Crown Prince Hong Xi and Xiang Xiaoyuan, or perhaps Jinying Wang and his wife. Of these two couples, one was Xiao Shao's biological parents, the other was Xiao Shao's adoptive parents, but they both loved him the same way. Xiao Shao's words were not wrong. His closest relatives had exchanged their lives for this country. Even if he did not sit in that position, he did not want it to decline and be occupied by outsiders.
"Do you hate him?" Jiang Ruan asked. She was talking about the Emperor. If not for the Emperor, at that time, Xiang Xiaoyuan would not have met with an accident, and Crown Prince Hong Xi would not have come out of seclusion to quell the rebellion, disheartened and disheartened. If not for the Emperor, Xiao Shao's identity would forever be a secret, and perhaps he would just be the Xiao Wangye of Jinying Wang fu, a youth with a slightly cold temperament. Perhaps Jinying Wang and his wife would still be alive.
"Not important." Xiao Shao replied.
Jiang Ruan's hand slightly paused, and then she also smiled, "In that case, you and I are somewhat similar. Originally, I thought that I was not worthy of you, but now, I also feel that …. Doesn't seem to be so bad. You once said that you hoped to help me take revenge. Ah Shao, I will remember your enmity on your behalf. "
It was rare for her to call Xiao Shao 'Ah Shao' in such a gentle manner. Xiao Shao was startled and softly said, "En." Jiang Ruan blinked her eyes, intentionally wanting him to not be so heavily immersed in those memories, so she said, "In that case, Housekeeper Lin is probably not an ordinary person. Is he your father's … former subordinate? "
"He was originally the third flower of the previous dynasty." Xiao Shao said, "After my father passed away, he entered Jinying Wang fu and became a housekeeper, concealing his identity."
Jiang Ruan was astonished, "Third flower?"
Speaking of which, Housekeeper Lin's original name was Lin Wei. At that time, he had come from a poor family, and had received the appreciation of Crown Prince Hong Xi, who had spent money to help him enter the Imperial College. In his youth, he had been the third flower of the younger generation. He had an elegant demeanor, and when he was a youth dressed in splendid clothes, he had also been a close friend of Crown Prince Hong Xi at that time. Before Crown Prince Hong Xi had died, he had entrusted Xiao Shao to Jinying Wang. At that time, Lin Wei's family had no relatives, so he had simply cut off his official career. He had only said that he wanted to resign and live in seclusion, but he had concealed his identity. He had even taken the medicine that Teacher Ba Qi had prescribed to change his appearance, and he had become Housekeeper Lin, taking care of Xiao Shao. Over the years, he had seemed unreliable, but at many times, he had quietly helped Xiao Shao with many things. Where Jinying Wang and his wife had neglected, Housekeeper Lin had been very cautious. He had learned a lot, but he had to pretend to be vulgar and ignorant. No one would associate this crazy, long-winded, vulgar person in front of them with the handsome third flower of the previous dynasty. Housekeeper Lin had used his own way to imperceptibly influence Xiao Shao on many things. Such a person could not but be said to have great benevolence and wisdom.
