Chu Bin couldn't react for a long time. Xiao Xuan'er frowned and murmured: "No wonder the owner of the village wanted to protect Lord Fang even if he offended the Xiahou family. I thought..." She didn't go on, as if she was recalling those years. The tragic massacre of his family, his face full of sorrow.
Fang Zilan was stunned and asked: "What are you talking about, Hidden Sword Villa... Master Zhen is related to Mrs. Qin Ji?"
Xiao Xuan'er let out a long sigh, "It has nothing to do with Mrs. Qin Ji. In the previous dynasty, General Pingnan of Zhenbei once rescued everyone at Hidden Sword Villa, and the owner of the Villa was deeply moved. Friendship is the most important thing among people in the world. If Master Fang really You are the daughter of the prince, and even if the village owner risks his life, he will definitely protect you, so why not offend the Xiahou family?"
"But..." Fang Zilan vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell.
Mo Han said: "Even if Sister Lan's biological mother is indeed Mrs. Qin Ji, her biological father may not be King Pingnan, the former Zhenbei general."
Xiao Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, "Master Mo is saying that Mr. Fang's age is not right?"
"Yes, Princess Wuqing is the same age as King Yuning. Sister Ruolan is..." Mo Han paused and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, she should be the same age as King Yuning."
After his words fell, everyone fell into silence. It took a while before Chu Bin's voice was heard, "As far as I know, Mrs. Qinji has a strong temperament. Regardless of whether she will remarry, even the temperament of the lady has nothing to do with her. Big image.”
"Times have changed, and it is not surprising that people's temperaments change." Mo Han frowned slightly, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "Mr. Chu, do you know the name of your wife?"
"Name taboo?" Chu Bin felt his mind go blank and his lips moved, "Mrs. Qin...?"
Hearing that Mo Han had such an expression, Fang Zilan also lowered her eyes. The Mrs. Qin that others thought was actually Mrs. Qin, with the same pronunciation but different words.
"Everyone respects Princess Pingnan as Mrs. Qinji, but no one knows her name." Xiao Xuan'er said quietly: "Legend has it that the princess has no name at all. She was named Qinji because her music on the piano moved the world."
Fang Zilan pursed her lips and finally said: "I want to be alone for a while, you guys..."
"Sister Lan..." Mo Han hesitated, Fang Zilan waved her hand and said: "I'm fine, I just can't accept it for the moment."
Chu Bin glanced at Mo Han, and Xiao Xuan'er shook her head slightly. The three of them left together, leaving Fang Zilan alone in the hall, slumped on the main seat as if she had lost all her strength.
If Huanyan never lied, if all this was true, then her mother was Mrs. Qin Ji, and Ji Ningtian and her son were the murderers of her mother?
But why? General Zhenbei King Pingnan passed away many years ago. Why did Ji Ningtian and his son suddenly think of killing a widow whose existence was unknown to the world?
Is it to stabilize Wu Qing's identity? As long as Mrs. Qinji lives, Princess Wuqing's fake identity will be at risk of being exposed, unless...
Fang Zilan didn't dare to think about it. If everything was as she thought, why would Ji Ningtian try his best to keep her by his side? Who is she?
If she were the real Princess Wuqing, General Zhenbei and King Pingnan would not have been buried in the deep sea. However, the situation in the previous dynasty was tense and complicated at that time, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at it. If General Zhenbei and King Pingnan faked his death, how could there not be a trace of news? Who in the world can be so watertight?
In an instant, a familiar name came out. Yes, Fang Chongzheng.
Seventy percent of the world's business is in the hands of the Fang family. If Fang Chongzheng helps secretly, Zhenbei General Pingnan Wang may indeed cheat his death.
There is also the Xiahou family and Xie Chen. Even if General Zhenbei, King Pingnan, could survive in the hands of Xiahou Yunzhao, it would not be easy to escape unscathed in Yue.
Apart from Xie Chen, Fang Zilan couldn't think of anyone else who could have such skill. But if Xie Chen was really helping secretly, then it could only be Xiahou Yunzhao who was behind it.
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan took a deep breath. No matter Fang Chongzheng, Xia Hou Yunzhao or Xie Chen, none of them are Yi Yu's generation, let alone ask a secret past incident from their mouths?
Fang Zilan clenched her fingers tightly. She finally had a clue and couldn't let it go. No matter how difficult it is, she will give it a try.
So for a period of time afterwards, while Fang Zilan was busy with official duties, she was thinking about how to get to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and inquire about Fang Chongzheng.
However, before she could think it through, she heard that Gu Yuan had been demoted from the Ministry of Punishment to Shanzhou. When Xiao Xuan'er was talking to her, Mo Han happened to be there too. He was sipping tea leisurely with a teacup in his hand, looking unsurprised.
"Why was Gu demoted?" Fang Zilan asked casually, and Xiao Xuan'er said quietly: "I just said that I was not able to do things well, but I didn't say anything specific."
Fang Zilan looked at Mo Han thoughtfully, "Tell me, did you do something?"
"Nothing." Mo Han blinked innocently, "I just put Master Gu's manuscript together with mine and presented it to His Majesty."
"Really?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, and Mo Han said helplessly: "I can't help it. There are always a few manuscripts missing. If I can't find them, I can only use Master Gu's manuscripts as an emergency."
He sighed as he spoke, "Who would have thought that Master Gu's manuscript contains a letter addressed to an unknown person, and that letter..."
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and smiled meaningfully. She looked at Mo Han, who was deliberately showing off, and asked cooperatively, "Then what was written in the letter?"
"It's just Mr. Gu's thoughts on the revision of the law." Mo Han said in an understatement, "For example, how to arouse public anger, how to provoke disputes between all parties, I don't know who he wrote it to, but he wrote it like this Detailed and quite informative."
"How did you get that letter?" Fang Zilan was very interested. Mo Han pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sister Lan, who do you think I am? How could I get that letter?"
Fang Zilan saw through it but didn't say anything, and said in a drawl.
Seeing this, Mo Han couldn't help but smile, his eyebrows crooked like a little fox, "I just gave some extra money to the soldiers sent by Miss Xiao back to the Ministry of Justice, and asked them to find some of Master Gu's manuscripts. , who would have thought that I would find that letter by accident."
"Young Master Mo..." Xiao Xuan'er's eyes were full of surprise, and Fang Zilan smiled and said: "Sure enough, with your alertness, you will not suffer any loss even if you enter the court."
Mo Han just laughed, and Fang Zilan did not continue to ask. Although she did not believe that the letter found by the soldiers was by mistake. Mo Han must have noticed it a long time ago and did it deliberately. However, Mo Han did not want to say more, thinking that there was something else in it that he did not want her to know. . In this case, she simply pretended to be deaf and let him go.
Xiao Xuan'er glanced at Mo Han, who was smiling, and then at Fang Zilan, who was calm, and thought that these siblings really had a tacit understanding, but she was worried for nothing. However, now that Gu Yuan, the stumbling blocker, has left, Mo Han can finally feel at ease.
However, no one expected that within a few days after Gu Yuan left, Pei Pening would return to the Criminal Department and give orders and show off his authority.
