After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 83

But such speculation is equally absurd.

Because there is no evidence to prove that Yu Sheng, who grew up outside the imperial capital and was favored by the governor of Yuzhou since childhood, had any enmity with the late emperor.

They had never even met each other, and there was no possibility of forming a hatred—then this hatred must have existed before Yu Sheng was born.Is it the grievances of the parents?

This guess quickly flashed through Xie Tangru's mind, and then he felt it was impossible.

Yu Sheng's hatred is more like coming from the heart and from himself, if it is a continuation of the grievances of the previous generation - in Xie Tangru's view, with Yu Sheng's character, she will not empathize with other people's experiences, even if it is her relatives.

What's more, if the first emperor could touch people from the Guifang clan, he wouldn't have been secretive about this clan for many years after he ascended the throne.Xie Shizi thinks it's not that he looks down on the late emperor, but that he thinks that the late emperor should be a good-tempered person. For the sake of the safe and stable throne under his ass, he would rather endure a moment of anger than offend him, who cannot be cut off and is afraid. Guifang clan.

This is very interesting.

Xie Tangru unconsciously rolled his eyes: "Miss Xue mentioned something just now, which made me quite curious. Miss Xue said that Lord Yuzhou Governor is only your father in name, so who is Miss Xue's biological father? Leave your own flesh and blood alone for many years?"

Hearing his question, Yu Sheng had a weird smile on his lips, as if the word "biological father" touched a certain sensitive nerve in her, so that her expression almost lost control for a moment.

His fingers were as long and slender as scallions, and Yu Sheng rubbed the back of his hand subconsciously with his index finger. After a while, he raised his head and said to Xie Tangru, "Actually, it's nothing to tell you. My background is not a secret in the Guifang clan." You are a member of the Guifang clan, and sooner or later you should know everything about us."

Her voice was extremely sincere, as if she regarded Xie Tangru as a true partner with a heart-to-heart.

Xie Shizi smiled slightly, noncommittal about her "sincerity": "All ears."

Yu Sheng tilted his head, slightly dissatisfied with his cold reaction, but she had dealt with Xie Tangru a lot, so she wasn't too discouraged by this, Man Sheng said: "The governor of Yuzhou is not my biological father. I've known it since I can remember. They always thought I was just a young and ignorant child, and they didn't hide many things from me. In fact, when I was six years old, I knew that it was my biological father who handed me over to the governor of Yuzhou I was brought up by my parents, and I also know that I have the blood of the Guifang clan on my body, which is completely different from the people of the Central Plains."

"We are born to be favored by the gods." Yu Sheng mentioned her life experience with imperceptible arrogance, "The other half of my blood, even if it makes me feel disgusting, but to you, it is the world The most noble blood."

This sentence has clearly revealed her life experience, so there is no need to repeat it.

What is the most noble blood in the world?Of course, they are of royal blood and descendants of the emperor.

——The unexpected truth made Xie Tangru unavoidably surprised.He couldn't help but carefully looked at Yu Sheng's face for a while. This face was undoubtedly beautiful, but he didn't see any resemblance between this face and the late emperor.

This drama of birth experience is too exciting and too ridiculous.

In fact, this also makes sense. If the governor of Yuzhou knew that she was not his own daughter from the beginning, then no one except the emperor would let him raise a "cuckoo egg" like this.

Xie Tangru tapped the table next to him, and his fingertips had some support to calm down his mood.Then he heard Yu Sheng continue to say: "But I don't want this half of the blood in my body, it's useless and very ridiculous."

"Why didn't the first emperor take you back to the palace when he knew about your existence?" Xie Tangru asked.It's no big deal to raise a princess in the palace, but the first emperor let Yu Sheng grow up outside knowing her identity - even the most humble and unfavored princess in the palace is an upright child of the emperor after all.

"Of course he can't do that." Yu Sheng looked out of the door, and there was a faint fire in the distance, which meant that someone was approaching.

Maybe it was Shang Qingyao, maybe it was Shen Yu.

She has no way to accurately judge whether the situation over there is successful or not, but Xie Tangru is her real goal.

"If he brings me back to the palace, he won't be able to kill me silently. There is a difference between the death of a minister's daughter whom no one knows and a princess. You don't even have such a simple matter, Mr. Xie." You don’t even understand the reasoning, do you?” Even though her tone was provocative, her voice was still sweet and full of girlish charm.It is hard to imagine that it is such a weak and innocent girl who single-handedly provoked the turmoil tonight.

"As a father, killing his daughter out of selfish desires, if people in the world know about it, even the emperor will hardly be blamed." Yu Sheng continued with a smile, "But he is too unfortunate, he didn't have time to kill me, It's the first step to die."

"What a pity."

Xie Tangru couldn't hear any regrets, so he continued to ask calmly: "Is the death of the late emperor related to you?"

At that time, the late emperor's death was very sudden.Although the first emperor ate pills as a meal every day, his body was not yet seriously ill, so logically speaking, he shouldn't die so quickly.

——It was also the sudden death of the first emperor that caught the situation in central Beijing off guard and became uncontrollable.

Hearing his question, Yu Sheng seemed extremely surprised. She shook her head: "No. Of course not. How could Mr. Xie think that I have the ability to get rid of a supreme emperor?"

That's about it.

Xie Tangru thought calmly, the death of the late emperor was not just a simple accident.In fact, the connection between the Guifang clan and the imperial capital has not been broken for so many years.

Yu Sheng: "Time is running out, but there is nothing to tell the truth."

"I once mentioned to you that the Guifang clan has all kinds of rare things that the world can only dream of—including the secret technique of longevity."

"Maybe it sounds unbelievable, but it's actually true. Everyone in the Guifang clan will be planted with a special Gu in their bodies when they are born, called Longevity Gu. This Gu can make the people of the Guifang clan have stronger The longer life expectancy of ordinary people also allows the sparsely populated ethnic groups to survive better."

After cooperating with the Guifang clan, the first emperor also knew the secret that "the Guifang clan possessed the technique of longevity", but he did not know that the secret technique of longevity of the Guifang clan came from "Gu".After ascending the throne for many years, the first emperor who was reluctant to give up the prosperity and wealth in the world began to frantically search for the magic of longevity.

He even began to believe that the blood of a pure maiden could help him gain immortality.

So a alchemist at that time offered a method to the first emperor, finding a person from the legendary Guifang clan, marrying with him and giving birth to a child, and then using the child's heart and soul as medicine, he could practice the elixir of life.

Whether it is true or not is not important in itself, what is important is that the first emperor believed in this method.So the first emperor used "love" to deceive a member of the Guifang clan who stayed in the imperial capital, who was also Yu Sheng's mother.It is hard to say whether this poor woman was moved by the false love of the emperor or the wealth and power represented by the emperor himself-after all, the late emperor who indulged in wine and sex was far from being "elegant".

Anyway, Yu Sheng's mother is pregnant.She decided to give birth to this child, but on the eve of giving birth, she met a woman from the palace who was the real concubine of the late emperor.

From Concubine Chong's mouth, she learned the truth and suddenly woke up.It's a pity that at this time, she has no way to kill the child before it was born, and was controlled by the late emperor before she even thought of a way to escape.

"...Then she died in childbirth." The smile on Yu Sheng's face faded like a tide, "Before she died, she finally felt a little guilty about her child, so she asked someone to contact her sister of the same clan, that is, Mrs. Wei Guogong, please take care of me."

"Madame Wei Guogong bribed the alchemist and told the emperor that he must use my blood for 15 consecutive years as medicine, and finally take out my heart blood, so that the emperor can truly live forever. So the first emperor sent me to Yuzhou and promoted me. Father is the governor of Yuzhou."

Yu Sheng squinted his eyes, through the faint candlelight under the dark night, through Xie Tangru's face, she seemed to see even more distant years.

At the end of the memory, there is a gentle face.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Mrs. Wei Guogong—your mother? She is actually a very gentle person. I sometimes think that it would be great if she were my real mother. However, she will not come to Yuzhou to see me for a long time. On the one hand, I have to count the days and wait for the next meeting." Yu Sheng suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic, and I used to think that without you, she might treat me as her real child. "

Xie Tangru looked at her calmly.

The truth behind the veil is finally revealed at this moment.

"But then I realized that she wouldn't do that." Yu Sheng said, "Her gentleness is just innate. She is willing to save me, just like she is willing to save any grass, tree or raccoon slave in the world."

"So I won't have such stupid and naive thoughts later." Yu Sheng smiled softly and sweetly, and she looked into Xie Tangru's eyes, "This is the whole truth you want to know."

"...Sorry." Xie Tangru sighed softly.

The smile on Yu Sheng's lips became deeper, but his voice became softer and colder: "Master Xie, you are worthy of being her child." They were all equally gentle and cruel.

Xie Tangru didn't understand her inexplicable emotion, but Yu Sheng immediately revealed it, saying: "Since my honesty part is over, it's time to enter the part of Xie Shizi you."

"Before that, why don't we first guess whether the person who came is my Shen Yu or your Shang Qingyao?"

As her words fell, Xie Tangru turned his head and looked outside the open palace door. The wooden bridge stretched out windingly, and there was a low sobbing sound floating in the wind. The man stood at the end of the long night.

Facing each other across the water, we are very close.
