ews.After taking a shower, she walked out of the space and pulled up all the herbs she had just planted this evening, planting them in the spirit spring space.Blood diseases are a very special kind of...Chapter 1104: The Marquis is Looking for You Everywhere

Fang Jinshu suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

No wonder Zongyu and Dong'er are related by blood, it turns out their mothers were sisters!

Then East'er wouldn't he be Zong Yu's cousin, the Prince of Jing... and yet he became his uncle by marriage

When Fang Jinshi first had this thought, she was stunned.

"Now that the Lord knows about Ah Yu's mother's identity, then what about her father."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw that King Jing's face had turned extremely ugly, as if he was reluctant to say anything.

"Could it be that Master Ayu's father's identity cannot be spoken of"

Fu Shangyuan sighed helplessly, "It's not that I can't say it. If he is indeed the son of Princess Ruosheng, according to Zongyu's age, he is very likely to be the Emperor's second prince who stayed in the commoners."

"That's my second older brother."

Fāng Jǐnxu felt her mind wasn't working properly today. Hearing this news, her jaw almost hit the floor.

She didn't display overly exaggerated expressions; to be precise, her expressions had completely lost control, becoming numb.

When she came out of Jingwang Mansion, Xiaoyue saw that her expression was amiss and immediately stepped forward to hold her with concern.

"Madam, did you have an argument with Prince Jing Or did he make things difficult for you Why is your face so pale"

Fang Jinshi waved her hand, "No, Your Highness hasn't done anything to me, I'm fine, I'll go back first."

She climbed onto the carriage in a daze, sitting inside and digesting everything she had just learned from King Jing.

Before leaving, King Jing stopped her.

He still doesn't know whether it's good or bad.

"The current Emperor, who was once the Crown Prince, our older brother, he is not a generous man at all."

If your identity as the head of the sect is exposed, your whole family will likely face a catastrophe.

After all, he still has half the blood of the Western Xia royal family in his veins. He is different from Dong'er. I have no real power in my hands. Dong'er will inherit the title in the future, but it is only a nominal one.

The next emperor would not reuse someone with Xixia blood, even if he were a royal descendant.

But Zong Yu, with 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, was still the War God General who had just saved the people of Xizhou. If his identity were to be revealed, you know what a stir it would cause.

"Weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding whether or not to tell him."

Fang Jinshui sat in the carriage, her brows furrowed so tightly they were almost knotted together.

Ahui's background story is a bit dramatic. The two sisters, Princess Ruoqing and Princess Ruocasa, were political sacrifices sent by Xixia to Daxia for a marriage alliance.

At that time, the Great Xi Kingdom was at its peak of national power and military strength. The Western Xia Dynasty was weak and had suffered a defeat. Therefore, it wanted to cling to the powerful Great Xi kingdom for a while to recuperate and rebuild its strength.

Princess Ruòqíng was taken into the imperial harem by the emperor, while Princess Ruòlì married Prince Jìng as his consort. The specifics of the process were not elaborated upon by Prince Jìng, who likely wasn't as calm and collected back then as he appeared now.

It must have happened a lot.

Princess Ruoqing was beautiful and deeply beloved by the emperor. Two years later, she became pregnant.

The more favored a woman was, the more difficult her life in the palace became. This was especially true for the Princess, whose family lived a thousand miles away in Xixia. She had no one to support her.

At that time, the emperor still had the intention of annexing Xixia. He wanted to take advantage of their weakness and before they could recover, seize control of them in one fell swoop and expand the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Expanding territories is something that every ambitious emperor aspires to.

The previous emperor was also not surprising, especially with the strength of the Daxie army. It was precisely because of the emperor's decision that Princess Ruoqing was ostracized by the entire harem, and they wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

The emperor led the troops in person, and that battle nearly wiped out the Xi Xia royal family.

Princess Ruosheng was driven to a desperate situation by the then-Empress and, with the help of King Jing and his consort, escaped from the palace.

That's why she gave birth to A-Yu in the mortal realm. To protect him from being found by the royal family, she exchanged him with a child from the Zong family.

Although the late emperor had an overwhelming advantage in the war against Xixia, the final battle situation was not optimistic. It lasted for a year and consumed most of the national treasury without being able to break through the tough bone of Xixia.

To preserve their strength, the previous emperor could only retreat his troops and return to court.

After that battle, Dashi and Xixia became sworn enemies, forging a deep blood feud.

No wonder Jiang Chuang would say that the people of Xixia hated the people of Daxia deeply, the root cause was right here.

This old emperor is really not a good person.

"Ma'am, are you really alright" Xiaoyue sat beside her, having seen Fang Jinyu frown tightly since they got in the carriage. She sighed and fumed, her expressions shifting back and forth.

What did King Jing say to his wife's family that made her so nervous

"Xiaoyue, if one day you discover that you are loyal to the person who killed your parents and siblings, and you have even done many things for him, what would you do"

Xiaoyue was stunned on the spot.

Her parents and siblings had all died long ago, starving to death. She had no enemies.

"How could my wife possibly be my enemy."

"It's just a hypothetical."

Xiao Yue bowed her head and pondered for a moment before answering.

"My body and skin were given to me by my parents. Since my parents died at the hands of others, I naturally have to avenge them."

Even my lord, whom I am loyal to, would not be able to.

Hearing this answer, Fang Jinshi was not at all surprised.

"Indeed, what in this world is more important than one's own parents"

A father like Zong Pingchuan is certainly a rare find. Most parents in this world still love their children very much.

Moreover, Princess Ruqing was brutally killed by the emperor after returning to the capital with the child to protect Ayu. This is blood revenge!

How should she tell Zongyu the truth

This was Fang Jinshu's first time being so indecisive.

Zong Bai went to the prison these past three days to investigate the evidence of Zong Pingchuan's being taken out, but it was all for nothing. Fang Jinshu had guessed it long ago; this happened so long ago, Yuan Buyu had plenty of time to clean up any clues.

It's really hard to find a way to control him.

If there's no evidence, handing over Zong Pingchuan won't help. If Your Majesty finds out he's in their residence, Yuan Xiang's people might even accuse them of making him up.

Zong Pingchuan died quietly, Fang Jinshu had been very preoccupied these past few days, too distracted to care about him.

All arrangements were handled personally by Zong Bai, in a low-key manner. There was no public announcement or formal mourning.

He only set up a spirit tablet and altar for Zong Pingchuan in his own courtyard, and observed seven days of mourning for him.

Ultimately, the son's wish to send his father off on his final journey was fulfilled.

When a person dies, their life is extinguished like a lamp. Mu brought the jade lotus and lit incense for him. Throughout the whole process, Zongyu didn't step into the mourning hall once.

Fan Jinshu also didn't go.

That day when she returned from Jing Wang's mansion, Zong Yu asked about the jade pendant. For the first time ever, she lied to him and said she hadn't heard anything.

She had finally waited for him to return safely from the border. They hadn't even had a few days of peace, and if she told him about this blood feud, she couldn't imagine what would happen to their family.

The current Empress Dowager, the one who led the persecution of Princess Ruosheng back then, has also been captured by the current Emperor, the former Crown Prince. The princess and the child of her clan were also captured.

Their deaths, Their Majesties had a hand in as well.

If A Yu wants revenge, it means going against the will of heaven.

"Madam, the Marquis is looking for you everywhere."

Xiaoyue's voice rang out outside the door, breaking Fang Jinshi's train of thought.ng the daughter-in-law makes is delicious. He nodded heavily."Delicious."Then he continuously ate seven or eight slices of sausage, and in the time it took to say a few words, a bowl of white rice was...
