An Guiren knelt on the ground and blinked his empty eyes after hearing this.
Murong Ci stood in front of her, staring at her coldly, "Xiaoyin committed suicide, disrupting your layout and making you mess up."
An Guiren raised his eyes to look at her, and hatred gradually gathered on his cold and lonely face.
Shen Zhiyan frowned deeply. It turned out that His Highness had found out so much, "What is the relationship between Xiaoyin and Mr. An?"
Murong Yu's eyes moved leisurely, and said indifferently: "This king also wants to know why An Guiren assassinated His Majesty."
"Bengong suspects that Xiao Yin assassinated me in order not to let Mrs. An be exposed." Murong Ci said with a shallow smile and raised his eyebrows, "The reason why I concluded that Xiao Yin and Mrs. An are related is because of the fact that Mrs. An And a gray hair."
"An nobleman has served His Majesty for many years and has no heirs. Could it be that Xiaoyin is a distant relative of An nobleman?" Gu Huai speculated.
"Next, I'm going to tell you some secrets about the palace, but I'm going to make a bold guess based on what I found out, and you will find it incredible." She smiled slowly. Only a few insignificant servants survived. King Rui and his concubine had a deep relationship, but few people knew that King Rui’s favorite was Cui Nong, his concubine. After King Rui’s defeat, he arranged for Cui Nong to pretend to be Cheng Wangfu's servant escaped with her life, but she did not leave the capital to be free and happy, but entered the palace full of hatred, looking for an opportunity to avenge the prince who doted on her. Maybe she disguised herself and entered the palace, but By chance, she entered the Chunwu Courtyard, and she couldn't see His Majesty at all, and she even complained that she should not respond every day, and that the earth was ineffective. She was heartbroken, but she survived in the end because she found out that she was pregnant and was the posthumous son of King Rui. "
At this point, everyone was shocked.
Unexpectedly, King Rui left behind a bloodline.
An Guiren's face was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, but in the depths of the stagnant water, no one could see the slight waves.
Shen Zhiyan raised a question: "Although Chunwu Courtyard is isolated from the outside world and is a corner forgotten by the world, it is impossible for the palace steward not to know about such a big matter as childbirth, and it is impossible not to report it to the Internal Service Bureau."
Murong Ci nodded, and continued: "Cui Nong was worried that King Rui's blood would be lost, so she tried every means to prevent everyone from seeing that she was pregnant until she gave birth to a child. She knew that there were eyes and ears planted by King Rui in the palace. That person secretly sent the baby out of the Chunwu Courtyard and handed it over to that person. That person was a servant, and if he brought a baby with him, people would definitely find out, so he sent the baby out of the palace and gave it to a family to be raised. After five years, he brought it back The palace was brought up as a servant."
Speaking of this, Shen Zhiyan understood that the baby was Xiaoyin, and the servant was Changqing.
"The servant is Chang Qing. He lied that the five-year-old child has been cleansed and brought him up." He said happily, "This baby is Xiao Yin."
"It's the assassin Xiaoyin who assassinated His Highness," Gu Huai said in surprise.
"It's really interesting." Murong Yu blinked deeply.
"Xiaoyin always thought that he had no father or mother, and only Changqing depended on each other. Later, he finally found out about his life experience, mixed with sorrow and joy." Murong Ci stared at An Guiren, An Guiren's eyes were like a thousand-year-old well, slightly rippling with stagnant water, "Shortly, Xiaoyin found out that his mother was in danger. In order to save his life, he risked his life to assassinate Ben Gong and was charged with all the crimes. He hid the poison in his teeth in advance and committed suicide at the right time. He Thinking that he is dead, this palace will not pursue it any more, and all this will be settled."
"Then Xiaoyin's mother is Cui Nong and Cui Nong is An Guiren." Shen Zhiyan was shocked, but An Guiren was not Cui Nong.
An Guiren's dead and cold eyebrows finally wavered, and his face turned pale.
Gu Huai asked in confusion: "Is your highness's speculation too unbelievable? How did Cui Nong become an nobleman?"
Murong Yu said unhurriedly: "Director Liu, you must be familiar with Mr. An Gui after you have been in the palace for so many years. According to you, the prisoner kneeling in front of you is Mr. An Gui?"
When he was finally asked, Liu An calmly said: "The slave has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally recognizes Mrs. An's appearance. The prisoner in front of him who assassinated His Majesty is not Mrs. An. Besides, Mrs. An's legs were maimed more than ten years ago. The prisoner's legs are intact, which is a big flaw."
Everyone nodded.
Shen Zhiyan suddenly realized, "Your Highness, how did you guess that Mrs. An is Cui Nong in disguise?"
Your Highness is really amazing in cracking the biggest identity secret of Mr. An Gui.
"This king also wants to know." Murong Yu said.
"Let me suspect that Mrs. An is her maid, Liu Mei. Concubine Qiao is an old man among the concubines in the harem, so she has naturally seen Mrs. An. Once, Bengong and Concubine Qiao talked about how Mrs. An was amazing.
Concubine Qiao said that Mrs. An's dance was taught by Liu Mei, a close court lady. Liu Mei's experience is quite legendary. When she was young, she was a well-known maiko in the Yangzhou Jiaofang. Later, because of her disfigurement, she became increasingly poor and hard-pressed. In order to survive, she went to the An family to teach An Guiren the dance art, and An Guiren entered the palace to become the emperor's concubine, and she also entered the palace. "Murong Ci said, "Because Liu Mei's appearance was destroyed, she often wore a veil to cover it up, and everyone in the palace didn't know it. It's just that most of the concubines back then were useless and dead, and only Concubine Qiao was left in the harem to remember the old things. Bengong has been to Chunwu Courtyard, and the face of Liumei next to Mrs. An is intact, which is completely different from what Concubine Qiao said. "
"According to what Concubine Qiao said, the Liu Mei next to Mrs. An is not the real Liu Mei at all." Shen Zhiyan didn't expect there to be so much inside information, "So His Highness has doubts about Mrs. An's identity."
"Furthermore, in the scorching summer, Mrs. An still wraps her head and face with a long cloth scarf. Isn't it strange? Bengong was thinking that the purpose of covering her head and face was to avoid being seen through. But she forgot, she Liu Mei next to him is the biggest flaw." Murong Ci stared at Mrs. An, his voice was cold, "You thought that Chunwu Courtyard was isolated from the world and no one would go there, so no one would see through Liu Mei. Even if someone went, it would be the first time After more than ten years, not many people would think of Liu Mei."
Cui Nong's whole body was like a stone sculpture that had been eroded by wind and rain for a hundred years, motionless, but his eyes gradually became clear, "The story told by His Royal Highness is really touching and tortuous."
Murong Ci said: "Although I doubt your identity, you are well disguised, sitting in a dilapidated wheelchair, desolate and lonely. What reminds me that you are related to Cui Nong is that Director Liu mentioned that when he chose the servant At that time, King Rui was there, and King Rui praised Changqing. Just imagine, how could a majestic prince, who is favored by the emperor, praise a servant he didn't know at all and Changqing was not a servant at all at that time. There is only one explanation for this: Changqing They are the eyes and ears placed in the palace by King Rui."
There was a dead silence.
Cui Nong's eyebrows were peaceful, but those ancient well-like pupils were originally lifeless, but they gradually became agitated because of Murong Ci's words.
Murong Ci continued: "Xiaoyin was brought up by Changqing, needless to say the relationship between the two, after Xiaoyin committed suicide by taking poison, I summoned Changqing for questioning. Changqing obviously knew that he couldn't get rid of the relationship, so he was prepared. That night, he drank arsenic and committed suicide."
"Because of Xiaoyin's relationship, Changqing must be implicated, but he chose to commit suicide by taking poison, which is interesting." Murong Yu's quiet eyebrows suddenly sharpened, "This king also discovered that Xiaoyin was not clean. Changqing Qing knew that Xiaoyin's failure to purify his body would implicate him, and he would definitely die, but he committed suicide by drinking arsenic, which made people suspect his real intention of suicide."
"Changqing committed suicide not because he was afraid of being implicated, not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to keep the secret of Xiaoyin's life experience, because a dead person would never open his mouth and reveal the secret. Besides, where did the arsenic come from in such a short period of time?" She said coldly His eyes swept towards Cui Nong, and he curled his lips mockingly, "Changqing has a special status, he is the old eyes and ears of King Rui, is there a possibility that someone who doesn't want to reveal his identity goes to see Changqing, gives him arsenic, and lets him take care of himself? It's over."
Shen Zhiyan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that His Royal Highness and the prince found out so much that night, "And that person is An Guiren, no, it is Cui Nong. When his son died, Cui Nong was distraught and vented his anger on Changqing didn’t protect his son well, so he asked him to take poison and commit suicide.”
Cui Nong lowered his eyebrows, his eyes were full of storms.
Liu An asked, "Where is the real Mr. An?"
Murong Ci said clearly, "The real Angui is dead. It should be like this. Cui Nong and the maidservant entered Chunwu Garden, but they couldn't leave Chunwu Garden to assassinate His Majesty and avenge King Rui, so they could only dormant. Five Six years ago, she burned An Guiren to death, and replaced him in a wheelchair with his head and face covered. The burnt corpse was beyond recognition, and was thrown into a mass grave as Cui Nong. Then she asked the maid to pretend to be Liu Mei, But Liu Mei left the palace when An Guiren was demoted to a commoner, so she falsely claimed that Liu Mei came back to the palace to serve her. Cui Nong, I'm not wrong."
Cui Nong raised his eyes coldly, staring at her extremely darkly.
"Originally you didn't intend to assassinate the father, but Xiaoyin died, and the last bit of King Rui's blood was gone. You held a grudge and decided to assassinate the father." Murong Ci's eyes were sharp, "If you hadn't assassinated the father, this palace would not be able to It is concluded that you are the person behind the scenes."
"It's me who wants to be buried with the foolish king," Cui Nong yelled suddenly, with a huge wave of anger surging on his face, "what's wrong with the prince What will happen to the prince in exchange? That stupid king listens to slander, he doesn’t even believe his own son, he is not worthy of being a father, and he is not worthy of being a king. Seven sons, dead, useless, crippled, his hands are bloody, he deserves to die.”
"You are a girl, how much do you know that the seven princes fought for the heir to the throne?" Liu An sighed, "In order to win the crown prince, the seven princes fought openly and secretly, regardless of brotherhood and father-son relationship , framing each other. His Majesty saw it, heartbroken and helpless. In fact, His Majesty had already given them a chance, but they didn't know how to cherish it, which led to tragic consequences."
