"Congratulations, my dear wife."
Zhao An helped Chen Yuru take two steps and watched her leave the prison, and the whole prison became quiet.
Zhao An turned around quietly and looked directly at Chen Guogong.
Chen Guogong's old and dirty face was filled with evil thoughts, "Did Eunuch Zhao come here under orders to execute me?"
Zhao An took out the bottle of medicine given by the empress from his arms and said, "According to His Majesty's decree, I am sending the Duke on his way."
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I would die in the hands of the little emperor one day. Man's fate is not as good as God's."
Chen Guogong seemed to have been mentally prepared for a long time. He just sat leaning against the wall, shaking his body, the chains rattling, and he was extremely calm.
Zhao An poured himself a glass of wine and said, "It's a foregone conclusion that we will become a king or a bandit. There is no need for you to bring some secrets to the coffin. You might as well clear up the confusion for the Za family."
"Eunuch Zhao, please ask. As long as I know, I will definitely answer."
"Did you send someone to assassinate me before I served His Majesty?" Zhao An asked, staring straight at Chen Guogong.
Chen Guogong paused and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"You don't know? I was stabbed and seriously injured."
"Haha, Eunuch Zhao was just a young eunuch in the harem at that time. Why would I assassinate you? Or do you think you are very important?"
Chen Guogong mocked Laman with his words.
Zhao An was speechless.
The original owner was assassinated and probably died, and then he, the time traveler, occupied the magpie's nest.
If it wasn't Chen Guogong who could kill him, who else could he be?
Zhao An asked again: "Is the Duke so sure that the rebellion will succeed? In fact, I think the Empress is right. If you accept the crown prince as emperor, the Chen family will prosper like him in the future. Why not?"
When Chen Guogong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that he burst into tears as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"why are you laughing!"
"Eunuch Zhao, do you think I look like a three-year-old child? I know that you have been plotting against Yuru. That child does not belong to the emperor at all, and there is no way he will ascend the throne in the future."
Chen Guogong's short sentence shocked Zhao An.
"Eunuch Zhao wonders how I know this, right?" Chen Guogong narrowed his eyes and gestured to come closer to speak. Zhao An hesitated for a moment and then approached bravely.
Chen Guogong brought his chapped lips to his ear and said sullenly: "Before you came, a noble lady visited me first. It was she who told me."
"Queen Mother?" Goosebumps appeared on Zhao An's face.
Chen Guogong said with a faint smile but not a smile: "The Queen Mother and I are old acquaintances after all, and I can't bear for me to go on the road with regrets."
"Then why didn't you tell the Queen just now that I lied to her?" Zhao An asked with raised eyebrows.
"I know her temperament. If she knew that she was cheated, she would definitely make a fuss. However, without the support of the Chen family, she will definitely die. I hope that she will continue to be deceived, even if she gives birth to the child, she will finally find out. The truth is good too.”
As Chen Guogong said this, he poured a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao An suddenly realized that he couldn't see through this old fox, so he took out the bottle of medicine given by the empress and asked, "I'm going to send you on your way. Do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Guogong's hand holding the bowl sank and he asked coldly: "Boy, tell me who you really are."
"What's the meaning?"
"How could a little eunuch have so many means? Whether it's poetry, songs, or craftsmanship, you are worthy of being called everyone. You are definitely not as simple as you seem on the surface." Chen Guogong finally asked what was deep in his heart. secret.
Zhao An returned to the chair in silence, thought for a while and then threw the small bottle at his feet, "You take the medicine first. With your internal strength, you won't die for a while."
Chen Guogong grinned, grabbed the medicine bottle and drank it in one gulp, then indicated that he could speak.
Zhao An looked around and lowered his voice: "Actually, I'm not a eunuch."
"What!"
Duke Chen Guogong froze on the spot.
Zhao An shrugged, "I lost my memory. After I woke up, there were many things in my mind. In short, if His Majesty needs my help, I will help him deal with you. As for my identity, I think it should be related to the Champion. "
"Champion, you are the young prince..."
Chen Guogong's expression at this moment was very funny, as if he didn't understand what was going on at all. Na Na said: "You and your sister disappeared back then and were taken away by the Palace Master of Fuyun Mountain. No one knows your whereabouts. Why did you appear in the palace?" middle."
Zhao An couldn't figure this out either.
It stands to reason that the late emperor is dead and the King of Chu is in the north. He should not come to the palace if he wants revenge. So the only possibility for the original owner to sneak into the palace suddenly is to find someone, someone who means a lot to him.
Who makes the original owner care so much?
My dear sister!
Therefore, the original owner’s sister is in the harem!
Zhao An and Chen Guogong thought of this at the same time.
Suddenly, Chen Guogong struggled to stand up, with unconcealable fear written all over his face. His hands trembled and he pointed over, his round eyeballs filled with red bloodshot eyes, "If you are the young prince, then the young princess is..."
Before Chen Guogong finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he suddenly knelt on the ground, his head drooping.
Zhao An hurriedly rushed towards him and shook his shoulders, "Old fox, can you stop being the fucking Riddler! Who is my sister? Just tell me before you die!"
Chen Guogong still had his last breath. He tremblingly raised his voice to his ear, and blood stained Zhao An's neck.
"When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. I hope you will protect my daughter's life. In return, I will tell you a secret. Leave the palace quickly. She is a monster..."
After Chen Guogong finished speaking, his head drooped heavily.
A generation of powerful officials died.
Zhao An looked at the fallen body numbly, his mind going blank.
The original owner entered the palace not to assassinate, but to visit someone, and that person could only be his biological sister.
So my sister became a concubine?
I have investigated the concubines in the harem before. They all have their own origins and family backgrounds, or the younger sister may have disguised her identity and entered the palace instead of someone who would have become a concubine.
And what does Chen Guogong mean by what he just said? What does it mean that she is a monster?
Who was she referring to?
The original owner’s sister? Or Luo Qingshuang?
Zhao An's head was in a mess, and he was so groggy that he didn't know how to leave the prison.
It was raining heavily outside.
Zhao An got on the carriage and drove the carriage back to the palace in the heavy rain.
Passing by Tianshuiyuan on the way, I saw the lights of the Nine Worlds Hall in the distance, and a graceful figure practicing sword moves on the second floor.
It was late at night when we returned to the palace.
Chen Yuru knew that Chen Guogong had died, so she didn't ask any questions. She just told him that she hoped she could help collect the body and bury it tomorrow.
Generally, sycophants are not qualified to be buried, and most of them are exposed in the wilderness waiting for wild dogs to compete for food. However, the empress is kind-hearted and wants to maintain a superficial relationship with the empress, so she should be lenient.
