"Do you regret it?" Cheng Lei asked him: "To Zhuang Hanyan?" He didn't say anything, causing her to misunderstand. Even if it was because he couldn't say it, it was too painful. Fu Yunxi was not wrong, was she
"I owe her." Fu Yunxi said.
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room. At this moment, a familiar cold voice came in: "I never know what you owe me? Love, reputation, or... the throne?"
With just a "crash", the door was pushed open completely from the outside. The red lantern dyed Han Yan's clothes a layer of blood. She stood outside the door and watched quietly. Fu Yunxi's expression was calm and calm, but there was something inexplicable in her usually cool eyes, which seemed to be sadness, but also seemed to be insight.
Everyone in the room was stunned, as if they didn't expect Han Yan's arrival. Fu Yunxi frowned slightly and glanced at the guard guarding the door. But the guards all knelt down and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment."
These people are Fu Yunxi's confidants. Although they don't know what happened to Fu Yunxi, the tacit understanding between the master and servant of such a pair of years also let them know that Fu Yunxi is in trouble now. The princess of Xirong was not taken seriously by the prince at all, but Han Yan. If Han Yan's appearance could help the prince, then they would be willing to receive a punishment for dereliction of duty.
Fu Yunxi waved her hand: "Go down." The guards retreated.
Fortunately, Irina is not here now and did not see the scene in front of her. If she had seen it, she would definitely be furious again. These people had completely different attitudes towards Han Yan than towards her, but it was clear that she was the mistress of the palace. Everyone else in the room heard Han Yan's words, and Cheng Lei asked doubtfully: "The throne?"
If everyone else could understand why Fu Yunxi owed Han Yan the throne, Cheng Lei couldn't understand it at all. He looked at Fu Yunxi: "What do you mean?"
Of course Fu Yunxi didn't answer him, but just said to Dr. Wu, "What did you say?"
Doctor Wu coughed slightly and said: "My lord, you also know that the little princess is very resourceful. How can I be her opponent? She tortured her to extract a confession, but I can't do anything..."
"Aren't you going to answer what he said?" Han Yan looked at Fu Yunxi: "How about I answer it for you? Your Imperial Brother ordered me to be hunted down precisely because I was the daughter of King Donghou. Even so. He knows that it was the Queen Mother who destroyed the whole family of King Donghou, so in order to keep his throne, he would not hesitate to kill me to avoid future troubles."
When the entire Donghou Prince family was silenced, it was not a legendary revenge seeking, but a premeditated event. Old Donghou Wang and the late Emperor conquered the country, and they both contributed half and half to it. It was originally agreed that Old Donghou Wang would be the emperor, but in the end the emperor entered the capital first and became the Holy Emperor. The late emperor had always been resentful that he had occupied the throne of his good friend, and he was very generous to the old Donghou Wang and his family. Therefore, although Donghou Wang was arrogant at that time, he was often punished by others before the emperor, but what happened in the end? Nothing happened. That was the late emperor's compensation to Donghou Wang's family.
When the late emperor reached his later years, his guilt for the old Donghou Wang became more and more serious. So he wrote a will in advance to pass the throne to King Donghou. He wanted to return the throne to its original owner, but the Queen Mother knew about it.
Naturally, the Queen Mother would not be willing to do so. If the Donghou Wang family became the royal family, everything she owned would disappear, so she simply did not stop doing anything and bribed people in the world to silence the Donghou Wang family. The people she invited were all crooked people in the martial arts world, and their methods were extremely cruel. No one from King Donghou was spared. After the incident with King Donghou came out, the late emperor guessed that it was the Queen Mother who had done something, but he had no evidence. At this time, rumors began to spread in the market that King Donghou died because the emperor was dissatisfied with his great achievements, so he secretly killed him. Although this rumor was groundless, many people actually believed it for a while. This is not a good thing for a country and may even cause instability in the country. The emperor ordered that no one in Dazong be allowed to discuss the matter of King Donghou. Once discovered, he would be killed without mercy. Such brutal policies have really worked. But the emperor couldn't let go whenever he thought of the tragic death of his friend's family, and he died soon after. The current emperor ascends the throne.
This was the first time that Doctor Wu and Cheng Lei heard this statement. They were stunned for a while. After all, they were all people from the palace. Although they didn't know what was going on, they could still guess to some extent. But from what Han Yan said, Han Yan was the real royal family, not Fu Yunxi.
Fu Yunxi looked at Han Yan: "How did you know that?"
Han Yan said: "You need to say yes or no."
Her attitude was very tough, almost threatening. But contrary to her tough attitude, her expression looked extremely natural, as if what she was talking about were just trivial matters like what to eat today or where to go, and they were not worth taking to heart at all.
Fu Yunxi was silent for a moment: "Yes."
Han Yan simply walked over and sat down next to him. The bed was very soft. Fu Yunxi's expression was cold, her gaze fell on Han Yan, and she seemed to have become indifferent again. But the next moment, Han Yan's hand lifted up a piece of his black hair and looked at it seriously. He turned his head away unnaturally, but Han Yan tugged on his clothes and pulled him closer. The moment their breaths were close, Han Yan took a deep breath.
The originally black hair had a faint whitish tint, as if there was a layer of fine white frost covering it, making it look extremely dazzling. That's Fu Yunxi's hair. Has the cold poison developed to this point? Even though he was very close, he couldn't feel the warmth from Fu Yunxi's body at all. The embrace that once held a touch of warmth was gone now. Han Yan was sitting next to him, as if next to a statue carved from ice and snow.
"Sister-in-law." But it was Cheng Lei who spoke: "Do you have any ideas?"
In Cheng Lei's heart, Han Yan is omnipotent, and many people in the capital know about her deeds. What's more, as Fu Yunxi's good friend, Cheng Lei once heard many things about Han Yan in the Xuanqing Palace. He knows that Han Yan is an eccentric person and has many ways of doing things. What he is best at is turning a situation that is not good for him into something that is good for him. Cheng Lei has not heard from Han Yan for a long time since Fu Yunxi let Irina live in the Xuanqing Palace. But now Han Yan suddenly appeared and seemed to know many things. Does this mean that Han Yan has any other options
Han Yan shook his head and wanted to say something, but didn't.
"Smart." Fu Yunxi on the side suddenly spoke. Seeing Han Yan looking at him, a faint smile escaped from the corners of his lips. He still looked calm and relaxed, as if there was no urgent matter at all. Han Yan felt a burst of sadness, her hands holding his sleeves tightened, and she opened her mouth, but only uttered the word "you".
