"Young Master, you seem to have a lot on your mind."
In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Taotao noticed the expression of the young master in front of her and asked with concern, "Hasn't the marriage matter been resolved?"
"I'm thinking about Concubine Wen."
Across the table, Li Ziye turned the chess pieces in his hand and replied, "Mu Qing has been in the palace for a long time. It's time for a showdown with Concubine Wen."
"Young Master, I don't understand why Concubine Wen wants to hide the fact that she knows martial arts from His Highness Eleven."
Taotao asked in confusion, "Concubine Wen has shown her identity as a great practitioner of the Five Realms. Shouldn't it be a good thing for His Highness the Eleventh Realm?"
In the battle for imperial power, the power and origin of the concubines in the harem are undoubtedly very important. However, if Concubine Wen is from an ordinary background, if she is strong enough, she can also add a lot of points to the eleventh prince.
"Concubine Wen, there should be something unspeakable."
Li Ziye turned the chess piece in his hand several times on his fingernails and analyzed calmly, "Judging from Concubine Wen's involvement in the creation of Night Ghost, Concubine Wen should be a hidden gem in the hands of Emperor Shang. Her true identity cannot be revealed. The matter of Night Ghost , is just one of the dirty things Concubine Wen has been ordered to do over the years. She didn't let Mu Qing know about her affairs, most likely because she didn't want Mu Qing to get involved."
"If it is as the young master guessed, then His Highness Eleven may not have any hope of ascending to the position of crown prince from the very beginning." Taotao said with a shocked expression.
The royal family attaches great importance to face. If you don't want others to notice the things Concubine Wen does, the best way is not to let anyone notice Concubine Wen.
Once the eleventh prince ascends to the throne, Concubine Wen will inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention, and many things may not be hidden.
What's more, what Concubine Wen did was exposed, and the Dashang royal family became a joke in the eyes of the world.
"Mu Qing, there is no hope in the first place."
Li Ziye responded calmly, "He must have noticed this himself. The battle for the prince is ultimately a battle for the Holy Heart. Previously, when the eldest prince and the third prince fought for the heir, he had no choice but to go Fight, because at that time, no matter whether the eldest prince or the third prince comes to power, he and Concubine Wen will not end well."
"Then young master, what's the purpose of asking the Eleventh Prince to have a showdown with Concubine Wen?" Taotao asked in confusion.
"Confirm the doubt in my mind."
Li Ziye replied, "Then, try your best to bring Concubine Wen to the bright side. At least, for our Li family, Concubine Wen can no longer be an unknown secret like before, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. "
"I see."
After hearing the young master's explanation, Taotao looked stunned and didn't ask any more questions.
Just when Li Ziye and Taotao were talking about Concubine Wen.
In Wenxuan Courtyard, in the abandoned garden, Mu Qing listened to his mother-in-law's explanation, and most of his questions for many years were finally solved.
The mother-in-law is a chess piece played by the father, a shady piece.
Therefore, as a prince, he cannot attract too much attention. It is best to live a life of inaction.
"Don't blame the mother-in-law."
In the garden, Fan Wenzhen sighed softly and said, "Mother and concubine, I have no choice."
"If everything is as the mother and concubine said, this garden may have many secrets." After a brief shock, Mu Qing suppressed the waves in her heart and asked in a deep voice.
"All the shameful things in the harem end up in this garden."
Fan Wenzhen did not hide anything anymore and answered truthfully, "Including those concubines and palace servants who suddenly disappeared, they will all be buried in this garden."
"Did the mother and concubine kill them all?" Mu Qing asked with a heavy expression.
"yes!"
Fan Wenzhen nodded in response and asked with a complex expression, "Does what the mother-in-law did disappoint you?"
"No."
Mu Qing shook her head and responded, "What really disappoints me is that my father and mother and concubine are just following orders and can't help themselves."
He was no longer a child and could distinguish right from wrong. How could his mother and concubine disobey his father while he was in the palace.
Unexpectedly, his father-in-law could be so cruel and let his concubines bear so much blood and sin. He was truly cold-blooded.
"Since I have said this today, there is one more thing, so there is no need to hide it from you anymore."
Fan Wenzhen looked at his son in front of him and said solemnly, "Do you know what is in the royal ancestral hall?"
"I don't know."
Mu Qing shook his head and responded, "The last time King Rakshasa broke into the palace, a fierce battle broke out near the royal ancestral hall. I guessed that there should be many hidden masters in the ancestral hall."
"Tai Shang!"
Fan Wenzhen said in a deep voice, "Thousands of years ago, the Taishang, who was under one person in the Taoist sect but more than ten thousand people, was also the founder of the Great Shang Dynasty."
"Tai Shang?"
Mu Qing was shocked when she heard this.
"Not only Taishang, but also relatives of the Great Shang royal family."
Fan Wenzhen continued, "Now they have become the underworld and are immortal. When the Rakshasa King attacked the royal ancestral hall, he was fighting them."
Mu Qing had a look of disbelief on her face after hearing her mother's words. For a moment, she couldn't accept so many shocking facts.
"The fourth prince already knows about this matter."
Fan Wenzhen reminded, "Not long ago, after the fourth prince entered the fifth realm, he received the permission of his ancestors to enter the royal ancestral hall and practice the royal family's martial arts to conquer the country. He must have known all the truth. If you can do it like Like the fourth prince, he has shown considerable talent in martial arts and should have the opportunity to enter the ancestral hall to practice the World-Suppressing Art. However, the mother-in-law does not want this day to come, because this is a road of no return and is not a good thing. .”
Having said this, Fan Wenzhen paused, lowered his eyes, and continued, "Besides, your father is still doing something even more terrifying. In the past few years, during the process of studying the underworld, the royal family accidentally created A kind of monster similar to the underworld, called night ghost. Even the ancestors don’t know about this. I speculate that your father studies night ghosts and probably wants to send them to the battlefield. If the royal family really creates An army of immortal night ghosts, this world will all belong to the Great Shang."
"Concubine, since they are monsters, they shouldn't be so easy to control, right?" Mu Qing suppressed the waves in her heart and asked.
"It's really hard to control."
Fan Wenzhen nodded and said, "Night ghosts, like Hades, can easily lose their minds. Especially, today's production process of night ghosts is not mature. Almost as soon as they are created, they will go completely crazy, and they can only be controlled with seals."
"Father, you are playing with fire!"
Mu Qing clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "If one person fails, everyone in the world will be buried with him."
"I would rather let the world down."
Fan Wenzhen sighed deeply and said, "Emperors have always been cold-blooded. Son, my mother and concubine would like to remind you that it is not only your father who is like this, but also the legitimate son of the Li family. Otherwise, why would he be competing with your father until now?" , People like this use human lives as chess pieces. Once the chess pieces in their hands are of no use value, discard them like old clogs!"
