"It's Xie Yuan, right?" The prince's question was loud.
The air in the palace seemed to be tense all of a sudden, and Lu Qipei and Qi Yang were both stagnant when they heard the words. The two did not dare to speak, nor did they dare to look at each other, they both stared straight at the prince, and the hands hidden in their sleeves were clenched unknowingly.
The prince didn't seem to have any intention of waiting for the two of them to answer, so he continued on his own words: "Three years ago, Liang Rong fought against Liang Rong, although Liang Guo had the upper hand, but that battle also caused Liang Guo to lose a lot and Rong Guo fell. Not to mention Yu Xiafeng. At that time, Gu felt strange. It was normal for Rongguo Xinli to want to expose the contradiction to the outside world.
"I don't know how Emperor Rong is lonely, but Xie Yuan's name has spread all over the Liang Dynasty in recent years. He can assist Emperor Rong to unify the army and Di, obviously he is a talented person, not an unwise person. Then why can he still fight in that battle? To that extent, but not being restrained by Emperor Rong and Xie Yuan? Is it just because of the feud of murdering his son? If Xie Yuan is so reckless and has no overall view, then he can't build the Rong Kingdom, and he can't be the Prime Minister of the Rong Kingdom.
"Since then, Gu felt very strange and became very curious about Xie Yuan's life." When the prince said this, he suddenly paused for a moment, and then set his eyes on Lu Qipei: "In the past three years, Gu has been investigating him."
Lu Qipei's expression did not change, he only lowered his eyes slightly, and did not look at the prince.
Seeing this, the prince didn't say anything, and continued: "I have been investigating for three years and found nothing. Until recently, I suddenly got a piece of news by accident, but it has not yet been confirmed."
At this point, Lu Qipei could still hold his breath, but Qi Yang finally couldn't help but ask, "What news?"
The prince turned his gaze to Qi Yang and softened a little. But it was only a moment before he looked at Lu Qipei again, and with a little sharpness, he slowly said, "Xie Yuan is the descendant of Xie Zhicheng, the king of sincerity."
Whether the name of King Cheng or the name of Xie Zhicheng is neither far away nor unfamiliar to today. Because this name was written in "Tai, Zu Ben Ji", and just a few decades ago, this person was still competing with Liang Tai and Zu for the world!
It has been a hundred years since the previous dynasty fell, but the Central Plains did not immediately usher in a new regime. For decades, the feudal feudal rulers competed with each other, the Rong and Di went south several times, and were beaten back several times by the feudal feudal lords. This situation continued until sixty years ago, when a hero appeared in the north and south, Liang Tai and Zu in the north, and Xie Zhicheng, the king of sincerity, in the south.
The two have their own specialties and methods, and it took only ten years to unify the north and the south respectively. The two had discussed the plan to rule the river, but such peace was short-lived, or impossible to achieve at all.
Only less than a year later, the war started again. Liang Tai and Zu took the lead in marching south, and finally took five years to annihilate Xie Zhicheng and unified the north and south. Xie Zhicheng died in battle, and all the Xie clan were slaughtered. In the end, this name and this clan became a few records in the history books, and also became a record of Liang Tai and Zu.
There are so many people with the surname Xie in the world. Even if Xie Yuan has never acted incognito, who can link the current Rong Xiang Xie Yuan with the former Cheng Wang Xie Zhicheng
The atmosphere in the palace seemed to be even more depressing, but the three of them had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Lu Qipei finally raised her eyes, but her eyes were clear and bright, neither panicked nor panicked. She looked at the prince calmly, and replied with only two faint words to his words: "Really?"
Prince Jian frowned slightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Qi Yang looked at the two facing each other, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly found that her mouth was doing a lot. It took a long while to find her own voice: "Is that so? Then Xie Yuan and us do have a deep hatred."
Considering his age, even if Xie Yuan survived, he should have been in swaddling clothes when the Xie family was slaughtered. Xu was protected by a loyal person, so he left a little blood of Xie's. For Xie Yuan, the current royal family of Liang Kingdom is not a hatred of killing children, but a hatred of genocide. He deliberately wanted to overthrow the Liang Kingdom, and it was only natural for him to count the prince and other princes.
The prince also thought so, and he did not forget how similar Xie Hongyi and Lu Qipei were in those days. Although it was a coincidence, but Xie Hongyi's attitude towards it was so obvious back then, how could the prince not have doubts in his heart
If, if Xie Yuan really has something to do with Lu Qipei...
The prince looked at Qi Yang again and found the deep unease in her eyes, so he couldn't help feeling a little distressed - how much Qi Yang liked Lu Qipei, he knew four years ago. Time didn't let this love fade, Qi Yang even became more estrus towards Lu Qipei. If Lu Qipei loses her, if there is a deep hatred between them, if Lu Qipei's feelings are all exploited, how will Qi Yang accept it
As an elder brother, the prince felt sorry for Qi Yang for a moment. But as the prince of the Liang Kingdom, he has to consider far more than the love of these sons and daughters. He turned his attention to Lu Qipei again: "Is this the only thing the concubine wants to say to Gu?"
Lu Qipei raised his lips, smiled lightly, and the scenery was the same as before: "My surname is Lu, not Xie."
Until she sat on the carriage leaving the palace, the cold sweat soaked from Qi Yang's back almost soaked all the clothes on her back. Agitated by the wind blowing in from the car window, the whole person shuddered in this big summer.
Seeing this, Lu Qipei stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with his sleeve, Wen Yan reassured: "Okay, don't be afraid, Aning, am I not good-natured? Do not you worry."
Qi Yang was nestled in Lu Qipei's arms, but one hand tugged at Lu Qipei's shirt so hard that his knuckles turned white. She wanted to speak, but was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so she could only suppress her voice and asked, "How come, how did the emperor find out about this? He even found out Xie Yuan's identity, what about you, A Pei, you? What should I do?!"
At this moment, Qi Yang was obviously panicked. The emotions that he could suppress in the East Palace could no longer be suppressed in this confined space with only the two of them. She tugged Lu Qipei's clothes tightly, her fingertips getting stronger and stronger. , but his hands were shaking slightly.
Lu Qipei patted her back soothingly, feeling a little sweaty, and couldn't help sighing in his heart. He continued to caress without disgust, one after another, slowly relieving Qi Yang's tense emotions.
It wasn't until he felt Qi Yang calmed down that Lu Qipei said, "It doesn't matter, he can't find it, and I have nothing to do with Xie Yuan." She said, and lightly kissed Qi Yang's forehead: "A Ning, you Trust me."
Qi Yang raised his head and looked at Lu Qipei, looking at her eyes that were as clear and calm as before, but for a while he didn't know what to say.
The deepest hidden secret was finally revealed by the prince today. What lies between Lu Qipei and Qi Yang is not only identity, not only conspiracy, but also a bloody feud decades ago!
Qi Yang knew this for a long time, and he thought of it for a long time. She sometimes panics, but looking at Lu Qipei's gentle and affectionate appearance, she will forget all these. But when the reality was revealed by others, everything she once wanted to hide seemed to come out again. She didn't know what Lu Qipei would think. Can the bloody hatred left by the Xie family be easily eliminated
Lu Qipei seemed to be able to see through Qi Yang's mind, but after she said she believed, she didn't explain much. She only looked at Qi Yang quietly, and with her calm eyes, she slowly calmed Qi Yang's restless heart.
In fact, hatred or something is just a sentence written in the history books for Lu Qipei. The so-called Xie family was slaughtered, but she had neither seen a single member of the Xie family nor received any kindness from the Xie family. How many waves could such a shallow sentence of hatred cause in her heart? What's more, Lu Qipei has a magnanimous nature, and is not a person full of hatred.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei looked at each other, and for a long time, they finally realized that her A Pei was still her A Pei, and she did not have any different emotions because of the prince's words today.
Slowly, Qi Yang reached out and touched Lu Qipei's cheek, who smiled and rubbed against her palm.
At this moment, a heart seemed to return to the real place from the void, and Qi Yang's eyebrows gradually relaxed. She leaned slightly, leaned into Lu Qipei's arms, and listened to her steady and gentle heartbeat, and she calmed down.
Regarding the hatred, the two tacitly did not mention much, and Qi Yang finally turned the topic back to Xie Yuan: "Brother Huang has already found Xie Yuan, those forces in your hands were originally his, if you let the brother find out …”
Before Qi Yang could finish speaking, Lu Qipei interrupted her: "No. Those forces in Qi Bo's hands are not Xie Yuan's."
Qi Yang was stunned when she heard the words. She never asked about the power in Lu Qipei's hands, so she never knew about the entanglement. After knowing that Xie Yuan existed, she took Qi Bo as Xie Yuan's person of course. Now it seems that there is an inside story
Of course there is an inside story. The reason why Lu Qipei and Lu Qicheng were named Lu was because of their mother's surname. Going back a few decades, when Xie Zhicheng was still alive, he was originally from a small family in the South, and he was able to quickly unify the South, thanks to the help of aristocratic families all over the South. The Lu family was one of the aristocratic families that was deeply involved with the Xie family at the beginning, and the Lu family's daughter also married the Xie family.
Of course, with Xie's defeat and slaughter, the Lu family didn't end well either. The aristocratic family was instantly subverted, and only a pair of daughters and a group of loyal servants who guarded them escaped in the end.
Qi Bo was the one who escaped from the Lu family back then. He worked hard for decades to integrate the remaining forces of the Lu family, and with the help of Xie Yuan, he gradually developed and expanded. To say that this force has nothing to do with Xie Yuan at all would be ignoring his help plan back then, but to say that this force belongs to Xie Yuan would be completely wrong.
It is precisely because of this relationship that is constantly being rationalized and chaotic that Lu Qipei dares to attack this force. The reason is just because her surname is Lu, she naturally has an advantage over those with the surname Xie.
In recent years, under Lu Qipei's control, the connection between these forces and Xie Yuan has become more and more shallow.
