  Chapter 96 Choice (2 more)

   Su Rong suddenly realized that her mother later fell in love with her own father, so it's not surprising.

  Probably because Xie Yuan became much smoother after saying the most difficult thing in his heart, and began to talk about the past to Su Rong, "Your mother agreed to the marriage of Prince Nanchu for Daliang. Daliang, go to Dawei to get married, and when you arrive in Dawei, you find out that you are pregnant, so you can only escape by feigning death, otherwise you won't be able to keep you."

  Su Rong had already heard what Mother Zhao said about this matter, and nodded, "The prince of Nanchu back then is the king of Nanchu now?"

"Um."

  Su Rong was surprised, "Isn't it true that the king of Nanchu can't bear children? I heard that he has no children so far. Didn't Nanchu make trouble for a few years for the king of Nanchu to adopt an heir from the clan?"

  Xie Yuan shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, but you are indeed the flesh and blood of King Nanchu, and your mother's innocence is only given to King Nanchu."

  Su Rong was a little confused, "Uncle Xie, are you sure?"

   Xie Yuan stared, "Your mother said it herself, can there be a lie? Your mother won't lie to anyone, she won't lie to me."

   "Okay, okay, I understand, my mother trusts you the most." Su Rong surrendered, "That's really strange. Could it be that the king of Nanchu suffered some kind of injury later, the root of the injury? Otherwise, why no one gave him a son and a half with so many women in the palace of Nanchu?"

  Mother Zhao recalled the conjectures that the Empress Dowager had mentioned to her when she was still alive, "Maybe it is because of the death of the princess that the king of Nanchu was overwhelmed with heartache, and there were no more close women? I heard that the harem of Nanchu has been vacant, but whether it is true or rumors, there is no way to verify it."

  Su Rong was dumbfounded, "Is this possible?"

  Mother Zhao is well-informed, "It's not impossible. The Prince of Nanchu liked the princess very much back then. If he hadn't really moved the princess, the princess would not..."

  The meaning behind her is self-evident. After all, Princess Zhenmin and Xie Yuan fell in love with each other before asking the Crown Prince of Southern Chu to save Daliang from the danger of destroying the country.

  Su Rong understood Zhao Nanny's meaning, glanced at Xie Yuan, and guessed following Zhao Nanny's words, "If that's the case, if he vacates countless women in the harem for my mother, it's not surprising that the queen, the queen, who is the master of the harem, would be so resentful. She would send people to kill me persistently for several years. Since I am the only heir of the King of Nanchu, why would the Queen of Nanchu hate him for hating my mother? The fire is vented to me, and I will not let it go if I don’t kill me.”

  She was puzzled, "The king of Nanchu believed that my mother was dead? Didn't he even investigate?"

   "After receiving the news that your mother was killed in the Great Wei Dynasty, the King of Southern Chu was devastated and couldn't afford it. He was ill for three months, and Nan Chu rested for three months." Xie Yuan was in a complicated mood.

  Su Rong pouted, "Then he is stupid enough, even his queen knew the news that my mother is not dead, but he never knew."

   "The so-called obsessed by the person involved, the bystander is clear. This is probably the reason. Once a person is sad to the extreme, he will lose his judgment and lose his mind." Xie Yuan understood King Nanchu, "What's more, your mother deliberately made him feel that he was dead. Before she faked death and escaped, she gave him a final letter."

  Su Rong didn't understand even more, "My mother faked her death and escaped? Why can't she go to the King of Nanchu incognito?"

  Xie Yuan shook his head, "Your mother's feigned death has benefited Daliang a lot, and Da Wei has given a lot of benefits. If your mother really went to the King of Nanchu, if the news leaked, she would have harmed Nanchu. After all, there is a Nangong family in Nanchu. The two generations of queens are all from the Nangong family. The relatives are very powerful. "

  Su Rong understood. If she hadn't experienced it, she had thought about it when she sent Zhou Gu off this morning. Now that Xie Yuan said this, she would probably curl her lips, but now she understands very well, "For the sake of one person, stay away from him."

  She felt melancholy, "My mother and I deserve to be mother and daughter."

  Xie Yuan listened to her words, there was an overtone, and after a little thought, he vaguely sensed Su Rong's thoughts, and asked her: "You went out of the city today to see Zhou Gu off, what did he say before he left? What are your plans?"

  Su Rong shook his head, "He didn't say anything, he just asked me if I wanted to get married as soon as possible? I said no rush, so he said he knew and left."

   Zhou Gu saw that her words were simple, her pale face showed no emotion, and she was very calm, but the simpler it was, the more it explained the problem.

  He sighed, "Actually, I don't quite agree with your mother's arrangement of your marriage with the Duke Protector's Mansion. The lintel of the Duke Protector's Mansion is high. If something happens, it's good to protect you, but because the family is too prestigious, it will also attract attention and let you live an ordinary life. But your mother said that it is impossible to hide your life experience from being unknown for a lifetime. Only the Duke Protector can trust her and protect you. Although the Duke’s Mansion is still valued by His Majesty on the surface, it is actually feared by His Majesty, and your mother never expected that His Majesty would be so suspicious of power in his later years, and the Duke’s Mansion of Protecting the Country is indeed not a good choice.”

  Su Rong was silent, she was thinking more about Zhou Gu. Although the emperor was suspicious of the Duke Huguo's mansion, as long as the Duke Huguo's mansion kept a low profile, the emperor would not find a chance to destroy the Duke Huguo's mansion.

  Xie Yuan said again: "Your Majesty, unlike Taizong and the previous emperor, has a deeper affection for Princess Zhenmin, not to mention your real life background, and you have the blood of the King of Southern Chu. Zhou Gu is good, but if you really marry him, if you can't hide your life experience and make it public, I don't know what will happen. Therefore, I also think that you are still young and don't rush to get married. Once your identity is widely known, you will not be involved. There are advances and retreats."

  Su Rong nodded, "You are right."

  Although it deviates from what she thought, it leads to the same goal. It is enough for her to trouble herself, and it is better not to implicate the Duke Huguo's mansion. Loyal ministers and good generals are rare, and the lintel is not easy to guard, so it cannot be destroyed.

  Seeing that Su Rong basically agreed with him, Xie Yuan felt relieved, changed the subject, and asked doubtfully, "How did you know that the person who wanted to kill you was the Queen of Nanchu?"

  Even if it was Nanny Zhao, he also checked and served the Queen Mother all the time. After the Queen Mother passed away, she returned to Jiangning to take care of her. Before Su Xingze found her, she had never met Su Rong, nor had she had any contact with the people in Nanchu Palace.

  Su Rong didn't hide anything, and briefly explained how she saved the prince.

   Xie Yuan came to a sudden, picked up the dagger on the table, and asked Su Rong, "Is this one?"

   "Yeah." Su Rong hid well at first, but he was assassinated today, and this dagger has made a lot of contribution. Now that he has changed his clothes, it is not surprising that the dagger can no longer be hidden.

  Xie Yuan lit a candle, and under the light of the fire, the word "echo" appeared on the dagger, which is the word echo of the current crown prince. He said: "In terms of blood relationship, the prince and you are cousins."

  He put down the dagger, "Your mother feigned death in Da Wei back then, so your identity should not be disclosed. You can only be the daughter of Su Taishou of Jiangning County. But I didn't expect that the news of your mother's life leaked out somehow, and the queen of Nanchu found out. She kept it from the king of Nanchu and sent someone to kill you. I have been thinking for the past few years. I am afraid that you will not be able to hide your life experience sooner or later. You will not be able to live a smooth life as your mother thinks."

  Su Rong frowned, "Who knew the news of my mother's life back then? The queen of Nanchu knew, but the king of Nanchu didn't. For my mother's death in Wei, the queen of Nanchu was more concerned than the king of Nanchu? Didn't the king of Nanchu pursue it?"

   "In the beginning, your mother's secret guard was leading, and your father and I were the internal assistants. It can be said that it was seamless. If your mother hadn't sent a letter to the first emperor, even the first emperor and the queen mother would not have known that your mother was still alive. Later, your mother felt that time was running out, and sent someone to send a letter to the old Huguogong. If the news leaked, it would be from the first emperor, the queen mother, or the old Huguogong. I am more inclined to leak the news from the palace. Because it is still your mother. When you were alive, someone came to Jiangning County to kill your mother and you, and it is precisely because of this that your mother felt that time was running out, fearing that sooner or later your identity would not be concealed, so she arranged a marriage for you in the Duke Huguo's mansion."

  Su Rong nodded.

   "Although the princess told the first emperor and the queen mother not to look for him in the letter, the first emperor and the queen mother secretly sent someone to look for the princess after the incident with Da Wei. Later, when the princess found out, they specially sent someone to tell her that she was fine, so that the first emperor and the queen mother didn't have to look for her. But probably because of this, the news leaked out. The queen of Nanchu learned that the princess was not dead, and took a lot of effort to find Jiangning County." Xie Yuan guessed, "It's probably because of me, I If it weren't for the fact that you mother and daughter stayed in Jiangning County because you were worried, and later cooperated with Lao Su to govern Jiangning County, which changed Jiangning County's appearance, the Queen of Nanchu followed the vines and found out the prefect's mansion. I guess the princess and you would not be involved. "

   "I can't blame you for this. If I want to blame, I can only blame myself. When I was young, I couldn't see the beggar freezing to death by the roadside." Su Rong took the words, "Isn't it because of my words that you later formulated and implemented the reform plan to govern Jiangning County?"

  Speaking of this, Xie Yuan laughed, "Yeah, I originally wanted to hide my name and be a guest in the prefect's mansion, but when you were a little bit older, you raised your face and said to me that every time you go to the street, you can see beggars freezing to death on the side of the road. It's so pitiful. You don't want to see them anymore. When I asked if I could think of a way, I felt that I had nothing to learn. Don't be afraid, as long as we manage Jiangning County as if it is solid, even if someone has a heart, we can solve it. She and I can hide for a lifetime, but you can't."

   "Who would have thought that the Queen of Nanchu would find her so far away." Su Rong didn't care too much, "Maybe one day, I will have to thank her. If she didn't send someone to kill me persistently, I wouldn't have the means to save my life and fight back today."

  Su Rong knew from a young age that no matter when he learns martial arts well, he can protect himself and fight with others without fear.

  Xie Yuan smiled and agreed, "That's right."

  But he quickly stopped laughing, "The queen of Nanchu used to send people here, she was very cautious, and there were not many people every time, one or two, or three or five, probably because she was afraid that her actions would be too big, and the king of Nanchu would notice and learn of your existence. But from this time, she dared to send so many people to kill you in a bright and fair day. Could it be that the king of Nanchu has already known about your existence? Or has she lost patience? In short, it is not a good thing, and we still have to find a way to deal with it."

  Su Rong nodded. Today, he took the opportunity to kill her. If he didn't succeed, there will definitely be a second time, and there will only be more and stronger people than this time.

  Xie Yuan considered for a moment, then looked at the dagger on the table, and said to Su Rong: "Promise to the prince!"

  Su Rong was taken aback, "What do you promise the prince?"

   "Cooperate with the prince."

  Su Rong looked at him, not quite understanding, "The prince said that he can send someone to protect me, but cooperate? What can I do for the prince?"

   "You are the daughter of the King of Southern Chu. This is an established fact and cannot be changed." Xie Yuan looked at her, "The prince has the name of benevolence and righteousness, and you have saved his life. Since he has a heart to protect you, you might as well agree to him. And your identity, although it is difficult at present, may not be his help in the future. After all, the King of Southern Chu only has you as a daughter and has no heirs."

  Su Rong's heart moved, "You want me to go to Southern Chu to fight for the throne?"

   See you tomorrow~
