There is no need to mention anything else. Just saying "Before Fan Xiaodao left Beijing, he had a secret conversation with Princess Taiping in the courtyard" is enough to make many people's imagination.

I have to admire Princess Taiping's brilliance.

But what Princess Taiping wanted to say was related to Fan Xiaodao's life experience. Fan Xiaodao knew it was a trap, but he had to jump into it.

Fan Xiaodao thought again and again and followed in.

Princess Taiping stood up, poured a cup of tea for Fan Xiaodao, and said with emotion, "In the past, someone would take care of this kind of thing, but now that she has become a useless princess, she has to do everything by herself." She glanced at Qian's consort, "

You go and wait outside."

Qian Shoudao was very obedient and walked out obediently, closing the door on purpose.

Fan Xiaodao was full of vigilance, "Say it!"

Princess Taiping smiled, played with the tea cup in her hand, and said slowly: "Do you know, on the night of the Holy Ceremony, why I colluded with King Gaoyang to rebel and thought about killing His Majesty?"

In the past, Fan Xiaodao would have said without hesitation that it was because you were crazy or greedy for power. However, various signs after the Holy Scripture showed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, so he did not speak, but remained silent.

Listen.

Princess Taiping was very satisfied with his attitude.

At least it's not the kind of disgust or resistance.

So she slowly said: "The people who want to kill him are not only King Gaoyang and I, but also Xue Yingxiong. Duke Jingguo was an old man in Prince Xingxian's palace back then, and her mother was His Majesty's wet nurse. We have known each other for so many years, and he and Your Majesty

It should be that we feel sympathy for each other, but even he has murderous intentions. You are a detective and have a professional sense of smell. Don't you think there is something fishy in this?"

There are doubts and there is something fishy.

Fan Xiaodao still didn't speak.

However, these words aroused his interest.

Princess Taiping placed a wooden box in front of him.

The box was opened, and inside were some letters and some essays. Judging from the handwriting and signature, they were written by Xue Yingxiong.

When Duke Jingguo went to the funeral, Mrs. Xue took him into the cellar and said that she had left some things for him. However, after opening the secret compartment, it was empty. I did not expect that these things would appear in the hands of Princess Taiping today.

.

Princess Taiping pushed Xue Yingxiong's essay in front of him, "Read it yourself!"

Fan Xiaodao picked up the Essays of Duke Jing, produced by Hui Xuan, folded and wrapped in kraft paper, which was slightly yellowed. Reading these two thick books did not happen overnight. However, someone prepared some critical information in advance.

At this point, folding pages are added, and Fan Xiaodao can directly press the folding pages to read.

The first folded page happened just after the Qifeng Pavilion case.

"On March 12th, I asked to see Your Majesty, but I didn't see you."

"On March 13th, I asked to see His Majesty again, but he was nowhere to be seen."

In the next ten days, that is, from March 12th to March 22nd, Xue Yingxiong asked to see the emperor for ten consecutive days, but was refused.

It was not until March 24th that the emperor ordered to see Xue Yingxiong, but it was recorded that "his complexion was yellowish and his body was not in good shape". The two only met briefly, said a few words and then hurriedly left. On the first day of April, the establishment of the

The Qifengge case investigation team began to investigate the whole story of the Qifengge case.

"In July, Song Jingang escaped from prison and broke into the palace at night. His Majesty was frightened and said he had been ill for more than a month."

According to the previous essay, Xue Yingxiong and the emperor were brothers, and they basically met once every ten days. However, after the Qifeng Pavilion case, this frequency became less and less, basically only two or three times a year, including giving

Xue Yingxiong was granted the title of Duke of Jingguo.

The folded pages at the back also recorded the conversations and trivial matters between Xue Yingxiong and the emperor in the past twenty years. However, after reading a few pages, Fan Xiaodao discovered something strange, "In the winter of the fourth year, His Majesty issued an edict.

, while chatting, Your Majesty wanted to plant plum blossoms in Xiyuan. I was injured by plum blossoms when I was young, so I hate plum blossoms."

Generally speaking, after the Qifeng Pavilion case, the emperor's personality changed drastically. After moving to Xiyuan, he ignored the government affairs. Except for Zhao Quan and a few magicians, he saw almost no outsiders. Even Xue Yingxiong went to see him seven times out of ten.

They refused to meet each other eight times. Every time they met, they were in a hurry and couldn't say a few words.

Princess Taiping asked, "What did you see?"

Fan Xiaodao thought of what Huang Yulang said to him last night. Is it true that as he expected, after the Qifeng Pavilion case, the emperor was also poisoned by the poison of bliss, and the poison was more severe than himself. When he fell ill, he was suppressed by elixirs.

He was poisonous, so he hid in Xiyuan and refused to see anyone.

Externally, he claims to have cultivated the road to immortality.

On the day of the holy ceremony, he did not participate in person, but was completed by his substitute Xu Wuzuo.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Is there something wrong with your Majesty's dragon body?"

Princess Taiping chuckled, "You are a little clever, but the problem is more than that." Princess Taiping said, "It's not that there is something wrong with your Majesty's body, but that the person living in Xiyuan today is not your Majesty at all!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, almost making Fan Xiaodao fall out of shock.

"What?"

"Before the Qifeng Pavilion case, His Majesty had always had a very good relationship with Princess Changle, and he treated Song Jingang as an honored guest. But after the Qifeng Pavilion case, everything changed!" Princess Taiping said, "He became suspicious, anxious, and even

He was very irritable, and sometimes he even forgot some of the things he said. At first, I thought it was because of fright, but something happened later that made me suspicious."

"What's up?"

"He once accidentally said the name of Emperor Xingxian incorrectly!"

Emperor Xingxian is the biological father of the current emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, he held great discussions for several years and finally won the victory in the struggle with the courtiers. He named the former King Xingxian Emperor Xingxian and his father.

How could someone who wants to fight for his name say his own name incorrectly?

"Although Zhao Quan reminded him in time, from then on, I kept it in mind. The emperor kept several substitutes in the underground palace. The only people who knew about this matter were Zhao Quan and Xue Yingxiong, and so did I.

I accidentally learned about this, so I observed it for a long time and found that after the Qifeng Pavilion case, some of the emperor's behaviors and preferences have changed. The first one to bear the brunt is the food in the imperial dining room. His Majesty used to like spicy food, but after the case,

After that, it became mainly calm, and his tone of voice and the way he walked also underwent some subtle changes compared to before."

Fan Xiaodao said: "This is just your guess!"

Princess Taiping said: "Yes, it was all speculation at first, but when I offered pills two years ago, I came a moment earlier than usual because I had been informed in advance. I overheard the quarrel between His Majesty and Zhao Quan in Xiyuan.

The identity of the servant changed. Zhao Quan said, "Without me, you would not be what you are today. If you are not satisfied, I will kill you too!" His Majesty asked Zhao Quan to give him some elixirs.

Seeing that something was not going well, I retreated to the side hall to wait. From then on, I kept a close eye on him, and after several tests, I concluded that the current His Majesty is a Xibei!"

"After learning this secret, I was terrified all day long and couldn't live my life. This matter was highly confidential and I didn't dare to mention it to anyone. Until a banquet, I heard Duke Jingguo accidentally say,

Duke Jingguo and His Majesty grew up together since childhood, and he knew His Majesty very well. After I tested him several times, he revealed this suspicion. Somehow, this matter also fell into the ears of King Gaoyang, who originally held the throne.

One of the candidates for the succession, that’s why we planned the night of the Holy Scripture. Unexpectedly, King Gaoyang died outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "The story is well written. In that case, in the underground palace that day, the adoptive father asked Your Majesty why Duke Jing Guo stood up to take the blame for Your Majesty again?"

Princess Taiping said: "I was not present at what happened that night. However, according to the original plan, Duke Jingguo trapped His Majesty and Zhao Quan in the underground palace and used force to force them to find out the truth. However, the appearance of you and Song Jingang made it difficult for them to fight.

It messed up the plan. According to my guess, Xue Yingxiong was testing His Majesty, but unexpectedly, he was silenced by Zhao Quan."

Fan Xiaodao thought of the situation at that time. When Xue Yingxiong stood up and admitted to killing his mother and the seemingly reasonable reasons, his eyes kept falling on the emperor, as if to see what the emperor was thinking. However, before long, Zhao Quan struck out with his sword.

Cut Xue Yingxiong's throat.

In this way, what Princess Taiping said is very likely.

This is a secret that can shock the world!

Fan Xiaodao said: "You called me over and told me this, what do you mean?"

Princess Taiping said: "I just want to tell you that you and I are friends, not enemies. When you left Beijing this time, if you guessed correctly, His Majesty must have become suspicious of you and wanted to test you. Li Yi is Li Juefei

His daughter, King Gaoyang also told Li Juefei this secret. It can be guessed that Li Yi also knew about it. Tianjue Dan was the emperor's life-sustaining thing. She went to steal the treasure, firstly for revenge, and secondly for other reasons.

Purpose."

"What purpose?"

Princess Taiping shook her head, "Li Juefei once revealed that he was determined to get the Tianjue Pill, and the reward for Ye Yulou's help to King Gaoyang was the Tianjue Pill. Now that Li Juefei is dead, the Tianjue Pill is in Li Yi's hands.

, I’m afraid you’re the only one to ask her about this matter!”

Coming out of the courtyard, Fan Xiaodao felt dizzy.

This meeting with Princess Taiping made him even more confused about his future.

What's going on in this world?

However, the more this happened, the more motivated he was to pursue the truth.

Since you are involved in this matter, let's go to the end and get to the bottom of this matter!

Yes, let’s start with Li Yi.

Fan Xiaodao led his horse to the city gate, and after checking his identity, he rode out of the city and embarked on the road to pursue Li Yi.

Shortly after he left the city, a group of cavalry also quickly left the capital and galloped towards the north.

There are bursts of yellow sand, and the autumn wind is bleak.
