"Can I go in now and meet the royal father?" Nan Xuanlin looked at Du Zihuan blocking the door, showing no surprise at all.
Du Zihuan frowned, but did not speak.
"Zihuan, come in with Lin'er." The emperor's weak voice sounded, obviously already knowing what happened.
Some things are long overdue.
Nan Xuanlin was not surprised either. He knew that the man in the house, his so-called father, should give himself and his concubine an explanation.
What's more, what you should get, you will get it back one day.
Du Zihuan knew what happened back then in his heart, but the emperor would not let him say it, and he naturally wouldn't say much, but looking at the expression of the second prince, Du Zihuan couldn't say anything in his heart, just vaguely, always. Feel a little uneasy.
The emperor's face is very pale, he has just recovered from a serious illness, and now he is in this life and death time, his face is not good-looking.
"You're here?" The emperor didn't look up at Nan Xuanlin and Du Zihuan, as if he knew that Nan Xuanlin was coming.
"Andrew, you go out first. Go and see how the princess and Nangong Meng are doing." The emperor's voice was very soft, but it had an irresistible coercion.
Naturally, Andrew would not disobey the emperor's order, nodded, and left the Qingxin Palace.
"There is no one else now, what do you want to know?" The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Nan Xuanlin quietly.
Nan Xuanlin didn't expect that the royal father would say these words to him so calmly, but his uncle told him that it was the man in front of him who killed his concubine.
"You killed the mother-in-law." Nan Xuanlin's eyes were a little red, he didn't understand why his father would attack his mother. Although he has the blood of the Southern Border, in the final analysis, he is also the son of Emperor Da Yu.
"What if I told you that I didn't kill your mother-in-law?" The emperor looked at him with a calm tone. He didn't seem surprised by Nan Xuanlin's question.
The third force in the palace is his, I didn't expect it to be him. The son that he has been neglecting.
"You lied." Nan Xuanlin looked at his father coldly, his eyes turning a little red.
The emperor looked at Nan Xuanlin and didn't know how to tell him the truth of the year. He sighed, "Lin'er, Zhiqiu's death in those days has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the queen."
Nan Xuanlin looked at the emperor and looked at the emperor in disbelief. The whole person was in a state of collapse. In fact, in his heart, he never really believed in his father and would attack his mother.
"You're lying! You're lying! It's not like that at all!"
Nan Xuanlin didn't know why he was so out of control, obviously his uncle wouldn't lie to him, but why did he feel that the man in front of him, his father, was not lying.
"If you want to know about Zhiqiu, I can tell you." The emperor looked at Nan Xuanlin's appearance and sighed.
The emperor didn't care whether Nan Xuanlin wanted to listen to him or not, and said to himself, "Zhiqiu is the princess of the southern border. Although the southern border is in decline now, in the end, it is still a country. But back then, the southern border was not only a country. She was the only princess, and the court situation of Da Yu was very turbulent at that time, so Nanjiang married Zhiqiu in order to consolidate the balance in the countries.
Even so, I have no feelings for Zhiqiu, but in the final analysis, she is the princess of the southern border, and her status will not be low. So at that time, she was the noble concubine in this palace. "
Du Zihuan also knew about this matter, although he didn't know why the emperor called him, but since this was the case, it was not impossible for him to be an observer.
There was no sound outside the Qingxin Hall for a long time. Although Du Zihuan didn't know what was going on, he also knew in his heart that the Xueying Pavilion was just a mess of sand, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
When the emperor said this, he seemed to remember something and added, "In this palace, there is a palace called the Moon Palace. This Moon Palace was not built in my generation, but was built long before many generations of emperors. established.
The queen at that time was from the southern border. She was the favorite woman of the emperor at that time, but the empress did not love the emperor, so she gradually developed a disease in her heart, and finally died in the moon palace. "
After listening to the emperor's words, Du Zihuan frowned slightly. He had never heard the emperor mention these words. What was the emperor mentioning it today
Nan Xuanlin's brows were also furrowed, and he obviously didn't understand what the royal father was trying to express.
The emperor didn't think much, but fell into his own memories, "When I was still a prince, this Moon Palace was not a place we wanted to go, but no concubine was ever arranged to live in the Moon Palace.
The existence of this moon palace is very taboo in the eyes of everyone in the palace. All the palace staff who cleaned in the past just cleaned it casually and carelessly.
However, it was not until my father's generation that there were concubines who lived in. Those who can live in this Moon Palace must have pure blood from the Southern Border. Otherwise, they will want to escape from that place due to some accidents. "
Nan Xuanlin's eyes were a little puzzled. He remembered that place. He not only remembered that place, but that place was deeply attractive to him, and he always wanted him to go there.
He knew that there was an extraordinary relationship with him, but he didn't expect that it was the ancestor's bedroom.
But if that's the case, why is there a sacrifice to the moon every year
As if seeing his mind, the emperor patiently said, "The matter of offering sacrifices to the moon has been passed down all the time. It was a ancestral instruction specially formulated by the ancestors in order to mourn the ancestors. Including the statue, all ancestors what God does.
However, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with your mother-in-law, because that statue is your mother-in-law's wife. "
Nan Xuanlin was stunned, no wonder when he saw the statue, there was another desire in his heart to destroy it.
Does she not want to stay in Dayu
"Zhiqiu, she is a gentle woman when you think about it. Since you can remember, your mother-in-law has passed away. Your mother-in-law she died of bleeding when she was giving birth to you. Duan Xue at that time also It's the queen, although she really wanted to murder the child in Zhiqiu's belly, but I secretly sent someone to protect Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu gave birth to you smoothly."
The emperor paused for a while, then continued: "It's just that after giving birth to you, Zhiqiu began to bleed heavily."
