Chapter 24 False Truth
The Jingyang Palace is very large. The palace wall is surrounded by a hundred miles, and the corridor is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is five steps on the first floor, ten steps and one pavilion. The Lingxiao bedroom is located in the middle, and there is a guest hall outside, a conference hall, and the hall is magnificent, which is extremely solemn.
Ling Zilu is still sitting on a Xiangfei chair, holding a crystal cup and tasting the freshly brewed tea.
Her eyes were murderous, and there was a cruel smile on the corners of her mouth.
The old moon owner hid peacefully on the bed, not knowing whether he was tired and asleep or permanently rested.
Ling Zilu did not look at her mother, but looked up at the roof. The golden tile was brilliant, but no matter how strong the tile roof was, it also broke a huge hole.
Suddenly, a fallen leaf floated down, the hole turned black, and a person fell from the top.
A dark man knelt in front of Ling Zilu and reported: "The Lord of the Three Palaces, the four city lords failed in the uprising. All the sentenced troops were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and all the surrendered soldiers were under the banner of the military division Hua Che."
"What?" Ling Zilu just drank the tea and spit it out again. She got up and stared at the man in black fiercely, and her eyes were full of hatred and anger, "The four city owners failed to rise? When did I let them send troops to revolt?
The man in black was slightly timid: "Just now, four summoners came to report at the same time, saying that the mutiny of Dongqing Cangmen, Nanyun Haimen, Xitianxuanmen and Beizixiaomen had all failed. The soldiers and horses under the four city owners have been besieged as a judge, and the four city owners are also among the pursuit and suppressors, and you have become behind-the-scenes instructions, that is, this judgment. The culprit..."
"What did you just say?" Ling Zilu interrupted angrily, "Four summoners came to report at the same time?"
"Yes, I just saw it on the Lingxiao Hall, and four summoners came to report at the same time, and the news was a fiasco..."
"Stupid!" Ling Zilu suddenly drew her sword and cut off the arm of the man in black in anger. "This is just a usual trick of Hua Che. First, I didn't ask the four city lords to rebel at all. Second, even if the mutiny failed and all the judges were killed, how could four people come back alive at the same time? You stupid slaves, the reputation of this palace has been ruined by you!"
Ling Zilu's words were undoubtedly a blow to the head, but the man in black was unable to listen. He held his broken arm and howled bitterly, and the blood that was red and black splashed all over the ground.
At this time, Lingyue happened to run into the Lingxiao bedroom and saw this tragic scene. Looking at Ling Zilu, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and breathed. At this moment, the pale face of the woman holding the blood sword was like a bloodthirsty Shura, and the flame in her eyes was like the invasion of hellfire, and the offender would die without burial place.
Lingyue subconsciously wanted to retreat and escape, but when her eyes swept to the sleeping grandmother of the phoenix, she took steps and ran to Lingxiao without hesitation.
"Grandma Yue, Grandmother Moon..." Lingyue shouted repeatedly, but the person of ** did not respond.
"Lingyue's little niece, you seem to have ignored my existence?" Ling Zilu came with a sword, with a fierce murderous spirit in her eyes. She wiped the blood from the sword with her hand and smiled like a loving mother. "Little niece, this doesn't seem to be the first time we've met. Don't you know who I am?"
"Are you...Aunt Zilu?" Lingyue has indeed seen too few relatives. What's more, Ling Zilu has been under house arrest in the Zilu Yunxiao Palace since the year she was born. The reason why she has this impression of this face is that Hua Che has shown her portraits of all the Ling clan members of the royal family.
"I'm honored to be recognized by the successor of the royal lunar lord." Ling Zilu threw away the blood sword and walked to Lingyue. "I'm more happy that you can still call me aunt."
Looking at Ling Zilu's face gradually distorted, Ling Yue retreated with some fear and shook her head: "Aunt Zilu, you really initiated a judgment. You really killed Grandma Yue. How can you even do this..."
"Who said the judgment I initiated? Which eye saw me kill my mother?" Ling Zilu shouted angrily and argued repeatedly, "I didn't make a judgment, and no one can prove that I initiated the judgment, and no one proved that I killed my mother. Don't slander me. If you want me to say that you killed the old moon lord, maybe you can find some evidence."
"Nonsense!" Lingyue retorted in a delicate voice.
Ling Zilu sneered and said, "If you don't believe it, look at your own hands."
Her poisonous eyes were full of dangerous contempt. Lingyue couldn't look at her hand, so she only looked at her palm and was frightened. She saw the lines carved out of her palm, which were like winding snake marks.
"What the hell is going on? Why do I have so much blood on my hand?" Lingyue lost her voice and exclaimed.
Ling Zilu smiled proudly: "Look at your grandmother's neck again."
I just didn't want to see it, but I was forced by her eyes to see it. Lingyue saw a deep blood mark on the neck of the old Yuezhu, and the blood on her hand turned out to be the blood of Yue's grandmother?
Lingyue couldn't believe it. She couldn't tell a hundred mouths and was almost suffocated.
"Yeer, aunt doesn't want to hurt you like this. Aunt asked you to come in alone, just to discuss something with you. If you listen, we will sit down and have a good talk. If you don't want to hear, then I will call someone immediately. There are only two of us in this Lingxiao Hall bedroom now. No matter who is suspected of being the murderer, we have Half of them become the chance for the rebels to die.
Lingyue was powerless to argue and could only stare at Ling Zilu's evil eyes. She could not understand whether the sin that huddled in the soul of her closest loved one was the sin or the deep temptation of the demon heart.
Because she can't measure others with her pure heart, even her own relatives.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll listen to what you say."
Lingyue and Ling Zilu sat down face to face, separated by a sandalwood table, and there was also tea on the table.
Ling Zilu did not put forward what she wanted to discuss at the beginning, but told her a story about the wisdom of the previous lunar master. The general content of the story is also recorded in Linghui in the history of the musk moon.
This story is well known, and Lingyue wants to hear the following.
"You must have heard such a story." Seeing that Ling Yue did not react too surprised, Ling Zilu continued, "Do you know why I told you such a story?"
"Why?" Lingyue wants to know very much.
"The previous Yuezhu Linghui is my sister, the fourth daughter of your grandmother, that is, your mother."
"She is really my mother!" Although she is determined in her heart, getting a positive answer from his population can also surprise her, "Who is my father? Is it the person in the Abandoned Palace Taoyuan Residence?
"You mean don't ask?" Ling Zilu smiled and said, "The last generation of Yuejun Mowen is indeed the most beautiful man in the musk moon country. He has noble blood, but it's a pity that he is not your biological father."
Laughing at the surprise and disappointment in Lingyue's eyes, Ling Zilu continued: "Twenty years ago, in the battle against the war, Linghui rolled up the tide to retreat from the enemy and sacrificed herself to fall into the sea of the moon. How heroic her ambition was. The whole country mourned and was respected by thousands of people. However, unfortunately, two years later, she came back, and it was okay to come back. He also came back with a wild seed that he shouldn't have, and destroyed all his fame and reputation.
Obviously, Lingyue's face turned pale.
"What my mother hates most is the Royal Dragon Kingdom of the Central Plains, but Huimei remarried a man in the Royal Dragon Kingdom. Although she is a phoenix-blooded emperor, she is a mixed-race bastard, which stains not only her personal name, but also my reputation of the Yuyue Kingdom." Speaking of this, Ling Zilu deliberately smiled provocatively at Ling Yue, "What's more ridiculous is that the mother, who has always hated the man of the Royal Dragon Kingdom, actually passed the throne of moon lord to this bastard with an impure bloodline, just because of a premeditated blood identification ceremony, all of which are actually Hua Che's conspiracy!"
"Auntie, why do you say that? Yueer understands that the hatred of the country has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the truth may not be what you think. Yueer thinks that my mother must have her grievances, and my father, I also believe that he must be a good man, otherwise my mother would not have married him.
"Although he is young, he is very good at arguing for his parents." Ling Zilu said sneer, "Okay, let's not talk about this. What I want to tell you is that in fact, two years later, your mother Linghui died again. Do you want to know who killed her?"
Lingyue's eyes suddenly moved, flowing with gloomy melancholy and desperate sadness. Her heart could not bear to lose at the same time in the moment she got it, which undoubtedly ushered in a ruthless blow when she carefully gained luxurious pity.
"Who?" With a word of inquiry, she struggled for a long time and avoided it for a long time, and finally blurted out, but it made her heart hurt as if she had been strangled into tens of millions of pieces of blood by a knife.
Ling Zilu smiled, dragged her cheeks, and said two words in a low voice: "Huache."
The two words are like five thunderbolts. Lingyue is as dull as a wooden chicken, her eyes are empty, her fingers tremble, and her red lips tremble.
"In fact, in that battle of resistance, Hua Che used the plan of killing three birds with one stone, singing elegy on all sides. The reinforcements raided from the enemy's rear camp in three batches. First, they repelled the enemy. Second, he helped his master Lingyun create a good opportunity to make contributions. Third, he deliberately sent troops late to let your mother Linghui die. In this war, as a pawn of glorious sacrifice. Looking at Lingyue's eyes condensed little by little as if he had fallen into hell, Ling Zilu laughed with joy, "Haha... The world only saw his military plan, but only I could see his ulterior motives. It can be seen how smart I am."
Lingyue seems to be listening to a story that she doesn't understand at all. She can't believe it or admit it.
"After Linghui returned to China, she actually wanted to take away the baby girl and lived in seclusion with her man. However, Hua Che insisted that the red seal on your eyebrows is a symbol of the blood of the emperor. Only by leaving this baby can the country be prosperous and the people be safe, and the Ling family can be passed on for thousands of years. Therefore, this baby girl with the blood of the emperor was resolutely left behind by the old moon owner, and your mother was demoted to a commoner and could never step into the palace again. Few people knew what happened after that.
After a long pause, she finally waited for Lingyue's expected question: "What's the matter?"
"Huimei was chased by three people on her way to leave the musk moon country. First, second, my sister Ling Zishuang, and third, Hua Che. When my sister Ling Zishuang caught up with Huimei, we only saw Huimei's body. Huimei died with hatred. When she died, she also wrote with blood on the ground. Hua Che's name."
Ling Zilu deliberately aggravated the tone of the word Hua Che. Ling Yue was shocked and finally couldn't help blurting out, "No, it won't be like this, teacher... How could the teacher be my enemy who killed my father and mother... How could it be..."
"Why not?" Ling Zilu laughed and said, "Do you really think he wants to help you to the throne of the moon for your own good? You are just a doll in his hand, a puppet to help him stabilize the hearts of the people. Don't be too naive, my little niece, would you rather trust an outsider than what your aunt said?
"No, no, no..." Lingyue covered her ears in pain and muttered, "How could this happen? How could it be like this?" What is repeated is the indescribable contradiction. When the trust is covered by the word deception, hatred gradually breeds.
Seeing that Lingyue's will has almost been defeated, and her paralyzed body was completely defenseless, Ling Zilu picked up the blood-stained sword with a smile, dragged it to Lingyue, squatted beside her, and said in a low voice, "So, in order to avenge your parents, and also for our Ling family not to be changed by outsiders. Surname, let's kill him together!"
"Don't use his kindness to you as an obstacle to your wise judgment. His kindness to you is just to hide his guilt and desire for power, or just play with you to make up for the gap in his heart.
"So, let's kill him together!"
