Chapter 179 Revealing the Truth

"In addition..." Huan Ling thought for a moment before saying, "There is another bad news. I didn't want to tell you. After thinking about it, I thought it was better to let you know the truth than to worry about it..."

"Is it about Meier?" Li Ren asked quietly.

"Yes!" Huanying stubbornly said, "My people followed the direction you said and didn't find any trace of Zhen Mei all the way. Do you think it's possible for Zhen Mei to go in another direction?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Ren suddenly turned pale and turned around and roared angrily, "I made an appointment with her to go to the south and promised her that once I could escape alive, I would follow her. How could she break the appointment?"

Li Ren's attitude made Huanxuan stunned. She stood up and looked at Li Ren in a daze. She couldn't say a word for a long time. She just asked Li Ren to think about whether there was any other possibility. Is it necessary to be so angry?

Li Ren and Huanying stared at each other for a while and realized that their attitude was too extreme, so they lowered their eyes and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you, but Zhen Mei... How could Zhen Mei have disappeared? Will it, will it have fallen into Lou Xun's hands?"

"There is no sign that outsiders have come to your hut in the forest. Zhen Mei left home by herself. Don't think about it for the time being. Can I ask someone to continue to look for it?" Huanying tried his best to control his emotions and said, "But I want to remind you, Li Ren, Zhen Mei is the queen of Yuancan after all. How can you..."

Li Ren raised his face and couldn't take his eyes off him. "What do you know? What do you mean?"

Huanying shook his head, "What can I know? But do you still need to say something clearly? Your concern about Zhen Mei has long gone beyond the feelings of cousins. People with eyes can see it. Do you still need to ask me what I mean?

"Enough!" Li Ren interrupted Huanxuan and said, "What kind of bullshit queen? Ask your Zhuo Yuancan, has he ever really cherished Mei'er? Ask him where he went when Lou Xun launched the palace chaos. A big man didn't say that he would stand up to protect his family. Instead, he left the concubine and ran away alone in panic. As a result, Zhen Mei almost died. She crawled out of the dead before picking up a life! And where is Yuancan now? Did he care about Mei's life and death? Such an emperor, such a man, why should Zhen Mei bury his life for him?

"Yuan Can..." Huan Xuan tried to explain, "Maybe it was because the palace change was too sudden and it was so chaotic at that time, so Yuan Can didn't have time..."

"How many women in the palace are happy?" Li Ren's eyes turned red, and a drop of tears then slipped out of the corners of his eyes and fell on the pillow. "I know Mei'er. She has been a very simple girl since she was a child. She is my aunt. She wanted to shine the Li family in the world, so she made the decision and forced Zhuo Yuancan to marry Mei'er, but she didn't expect that in less than a year of queen career, she not only I have never been happy, and because of the relationship between the Li family, I have come to this step. If you want to blame me, blame me. It has been my coveted beauty for a long time. When she lived in the barren alleys of the capital, she took advantage of the opportunity to marry her as a wife. In the future, if Zhuo Yuancan asked, I also said so. All the faults are caused by me alone, and it's none of Mei'er's business!"

Looking at Li Ren in a daze, his heart is sad and unspeakable. Yuan Can, Yuan Can, it's enough for you to lose me. But now it seems that there is another woman who has been hurt by you. The love in the palace turned out to be a battle without victory or defeat. In the end, it is only hurt!

"I... I will send people to do my best to find Zhen Mei, but the situation in the capital is particularly difficult, and our manpower is also very limited. Therefore, I hope you don't worry and wait patiently for a few days. Maybe there will be Zhen Mei's message soon." Huanying couldn't bear to turn her body to one side to avoid being seen by Li Ren. Ning, "In fact, there is no news from Zhen Mei, which is also good news. If we can't find her, it means that she must have hidden somewhere. In this way, not only will Lou Xun't know that she is still alive, but she can also be protected from the scourge of war. Think about it, in today's world, there is nothing better than finding a remote place to hide. It's safer. As long as you survive safely, there will always be a day when you meet, and there will always be a day when you can survive until the world is peaceful.

"Thank you!" Li Ren sucked his nose and choked, "I hope to borrow your good words. Meier is fine. She just found a place to hide. Thank you, Miss Changsun. You are a good person!"

Huanying shook his head melancholy, "What other good people and bad people are there now? I'm leaving. I hope you will take recuperation as your priority. Everything can be taken care of in the long-term!"

After saying that, Huanxuan raised his feet and walked to the door. "My subordinate's name is Lin Hao. If you need anything, you can find him or Mrs. Qi!"

"Wait!" Li Ren called Huanying and hesitated, "Miss Changsun, I know you are kind-hearted, so I also advise you to stop being infatuated with Zhuo Yuancan, forget the past in the palace as soon as possible, find another good man who can take care of you for a lifetime, and start a new life. Yuancan is really not worthy of your maintenance."

"What do you... mean?" Huanying stopped and turned his head and stared at Li Ren. "Lou Xun's usurpation of power. The Zhuo family, like your Li family, has suffered a devastating blow, and the future is worrying. In particular, Yuan Can's life and death is uncertain. You can't do it for your own selfishness, not even have a trace of adversity and sorrow, and you still want to add frost to the snow under the well, right?"

"You misunderstood Miss Changsun. That's not what I meant!" Li Ren hurriedly explained, "I'm just a kind exhortation, because I think that Yuan Can not only did not treat Mei'er well, but also failed your deep affection for him. You know, not long after you were killed by my aunt, he sealed your maidservant Shuang'er as a beauty and hid happily in the Anzhi Palace all day long. It's as if you didn't exist at all!"

"Cool? Is Shuang'er sealed as a beauty? What's going on here?" Huanxuan's eyes widened with surprise, "Is Feng Meiren the Empress Dowager accurate? I thought that the people of the Changsun family would be implicated. It turned out... It turned out that... Well, at least, at least she was luckier than me, but..."

The unexpected news made Huanxuan a little confused for a while, so he became incoherent and didn't know what he wanted to express.

"Miss Changsun!" Li Ren looked at her sympathetically, "Oh, are you still thinking about Shuanger now? You are really too kind-hearted and underestimate your maid!"

"I don't understand, Shuang'er, what's wrong with Shuang'er?" Huanying asked Li Ren in a daze, guessing what kind of truth Li Ren would tell her, and did she have the courage to accept a new blow?

"Alas, this disgraceful thing involves my aunt. I didn't want to mention it again, but... But I can't bear to see you being kept in the dark. To tell you the truth, it's just that Shuang'er told her aunt that your father did have a secret letter with the king of Wu, and the secret letter was hidden in your father's study, so although the eldest grandson The whole family was... But Shuang'er was meritorious in the report. My aunt promised her that she would get the glory and wealth she wanted!"

"The secret of Shuang'er's complaint? How is this possible? She has always been by my side without saying anything. Even if my father really has a connection with King Wu, she stays in the deep palace like me. How does she know what I don't even know? Oh, no, she has sent several uneatable tributes to my mother, so it's impossible for my father to let her know such a secret? Huanying was completely confused, "Could you make a mistake, Li Ren?"

"My father told me it himself. How can I get it wrong?" Li Ren said anxiously because Huanxuan didn't believe him, "Of course, it's not that Shuang'er took the initiative to tell the secret, but that my aunt found an opportunity to let Jiaolan quietly take Shuang'er to the Pearl Palace. She was both intimidating and appeasing. Only then did Shuang'er hand it in, but I don't know why Shuang'er know your father's letter? Chu, it seems that my aunt also had some doubts about this, but she did find the letter at that time. In addition, because of the growing opposition to her, my aunt was about to kill chickens and monkeys. As a result, she desperately killed the eldest grandson's family and killed you. Until later, when my father and I went to the palace to meet my aunt, my aunt chatted casually. She can't understand people's hearts more and more, such as cool beauty, who has been fooled by this little bitch.

Huanxuan's face turned pale and argued, "It's just a sentence. It doesn't explain anything. Maybe the Empress Dowager deliberately released such a rumor to verify my father's criminal evidence? Shuang'er is from my eldest grandson's family. Isn't it more convincing to say that the secret letter confessed to her?

"The problem is that my aunt was not sure whether Changsun Taishiling had a letter with the king of Wu at the beginning. She just asked Shuang'er. When Shuang'er went back home to deliver things for you, did the eldest grandson Taishiling have anything to you? Is there any abnormal behavior? If it weren't for Shuang'er's secret letter, your father With the prestige in the court, how can my aunt casually let Lou Xun copy the Changsun Mansion?

Li Ren continued, "In fact, not to mention you, I also have a big question hidden in my heart. At the beginning, my aunt may have foreseen that there would be chaos in the capital, so when she was seriously ill, she summoned my father and I into the palace late at night and quietly handed over the tiger charm to my father for safekeeping. However, this secret was somehow revealed. I was kidnapped by Lou Xun's people to blackmail my father to hand over the tiger charm. My father knew that it was important. He would rather die than give the tiger charm to Lou Xun. As far as I know, there should be no more than six people who know the tiger charm in my father's hands. Except for my aunt, father and me, only Jiaolan, Zhen Mei and Shuang'er know. Needless to say, Jiaolan said that she is an aunt's person. She has always been loyal and Geng. It is impossible to leak the news. Zhen Meiyuan is not clear. Only from me did she know the whereabouts of Hu Fu, and it is even more impossible for her to be involved with Lou Xun. After I met her in the rest of my life in the capital after the disaster, she told me that Shuang'er had been from her. I can't get the direction of the tiger charm in my mouth, so after thinking about it, I feel that only Shuang'er is the most likely to leak the secret. Unfortunately, there is no way to verify this matter.

Huanying took a deep breath and muttered, "Although it seems that only the six of you know the wheres of the tiger charm, everyone knows the Empress Dowager's reliance and trust in the Marquis Li. You and the Marquis Li have been in charge of the Yulin Guard. It is logical for the Empress Dowager to hand over the tiger charm to the Marquis Li. Well, Lou Xun is such a shrewd person, maybe he guessed it?
