Wanyan Lei quickly looked at it and burst into laughter. He rarely laughed. This smile was a little more heroic and a little less cold.
"Prince Xun is worthy of being the successor personally trained by the Yan Country's former emperor. I am older than you, but I am not as transparent as you see things, and I am not as bold as you." Wanyan Lei then took out his personal seal and stamped it on two pieces of paper. He bit his finger and stamped it with a handprint to show his importance to the agreement.
The blood seal also represented a blood oath, and Su Yu was waiting for it.
After both parties had collected a copy of the agreement, Su Yu said, "Your seventh brother, Wanyan Lin, is now in Nanyu Town. If Fourth Prince doesn't want to reminisce, he should leave as soon as possible. After all, he has always been very concerned about my whereabouts."
After that, Su Yu strode away, but Wanyan Lei smashed the table with a look of resentment.
Wanyan Lin, he's here too!
However, the timing was not right, so Wanyan Lei could only bear it and immediately sent a signal, leaving Qinghua Temple overnight with a group of his men, without even saying goodbye to the air.
Even if Su Yu had achieved his goal, there was no need to stay, but Su Mianyue did not want to travel overnight. He took advantage of the moonlight to go to the female guest's room, saw that the candle in Su Mianyue's room was not extinguished, and guessed that she was waiting for him, so he could only touch his nose and enter with a smiling face.
"Yue hasn't rested so late. Did he know that my wound would open and was waiting for me to change my dressing?" Su Yu came in and covered his right shoulder, blocking Su Mianyue's words of blame.
Pushing su yu to sit down, Su Mianyue moved swiftly to treat his wound. Seeing that it was only a slight crack, it would not be a big deal, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately straightened his face to teach Su Yu a lesson.
"Is Yue curious about Wanyan Lei?" Su Yu opened her mouth first with a flattering smile. Liking someone is to hope that she cares about herself, but not to make her angry.
Knowing that Su Yu intended to change the subject, Su Mianyue sighed and did not reprimand him. After all, Su Yu was no longer a child who needed protection, and Su Yu's future would be harder to walk, and Su Mianyue would not be able to accompany him.
"Just so-so," Su Mianyue said with a nonchalant expression, his heart full of curiosity and his face deliberately grimaced because he was angry with Su Yu.
Su Yu did not point out Su Mianyue's little thoughts, cleared his throat and said, "Wanyan Lei's mother, who was once the favorite concubine of the old emperor of the Hengyuan, praised her natural beauty when she first met and was unable to give up. She was a concubine. After learning that the imperial concubine had a twin sister, the old emperor did not want another man to sleep with a woman who was exactly like his concubine, so he joined the palace and praised her for her beauty and snow. He was named Concubine Rong."
"The empress dowager, it must have been a good story, right?" Su Mianyue snorted. He had never liked this kind of stallion that enjoyed the happiness of the whole family. It was disgusting to think that sisters served a husband together.
Su Yu nodded and said, However, the concubines were always more favored. Because they didn't want their sister to be left out, they often gave Concubine Rong a chance. Later on, Concubine Rong had a dragon heir first, so it was inevitable that she was a little arrogant. The concubines were provoked and jealous, which harmed the child in Concubine Rong's womb. The old emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill the concubines with his cane, but Concubine Rong begged for mercy. The imperial concubine was sent to the cold palace without death. Who knew that after october, the imperial concubine gave birth to a child in the cold palace, Wanyan Lei. The old emperor intended to take them out of the palace, but the imperial concubine got mad after childbirth, so she could only stay in the cold palace and die miserably."
"Are the concubines pretending to be crazy or were they killed?" Su Mianyue did not believe this statement. He had just been overjoyed and had the chance to leave the cold palace. It would be strange for a well-behaved person to go crazy.
With a noncommittal smile, Su Yu continued: Wanyan Lei had lived in the cold palace for three years because of the rumor that he had cheated on his mother. No one could teach him or even speak. When Concubine Rong was pregnant, he begged the old emperor for mercy to raise wan yan lei under his knee. The old emperor was not allowed to do so, afraid that yan lei would take Concubine Rong and the unborn dragon son. However, she could not bear to see her face full of sorrow and agreed. It was not until yan lin could walk that wan yan lei began to speak. Although they were four years apart, because of their similar looks, the old emperor and his concubines were kind-hearted and loyal. After the empress was abolished, Wanyan Lin became the only legitimate son of the Hengyuan."
"And Wanyan Lei's name came from the fact that he was born on a thunderstorm night, and the old emperor had always ignored him." After a pause, Su Yu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "You should know what happened after that. The old emperor of the Hengyuan was suddenly poisoned and unconscious. Wanyan Lin was too young to be emperor. At the time of the internal and external troubles of the Hengyuan, Prince Regent sent several princes to the three great powers at that time to be protons to protect the country."
Su Yu's eyes darkened at the mention of the three great powers, and Su Mianyue asked curiously, "In your opinion, Wanyan Lin and Wanyan Lei look strikingly similar because their mother is a twin sister and the same father. I can understand that. But since Wanyan Lei was raised by Concubine Rong, he should be very grateful to her and have deep feelings for the Wanyan Lin brothers, right?"
Su Yu, on the other hand, did not make a fuss and sneered, "Yue has lived in the palace. You should know that some official statements are not the truth of the matter, but the words of the winner."
Su Mianyue was stunned, but did not think about the mystery. His heart sank slightly, as if he understood why Wanyan Lin never looked for this brother, and why Su Yu went to see Wanyan Lei.
"And what is Yu's truth?" After a moment of hesitation, Su Mianyue decided to listen and maybe use it in the future.
"What I heard was just another rumor, and the truth that wan yanlei believed. As for what the truth was, only the people involved knew it. Unfortunately, the people who knew it in the first place, except for Wanyan Lin's birth mother, were hardly alive." The sneer on Su Yu's face deepened. Seeing Su Mianyue frowning, knowing that she had already guessed something, he asked, "Does Yue want to hear more?"
"Yes." Su Mianyue nodded without hesitation, because she would know the second version sooner or later if she checked it herself. Why waste so much effort?
With his index finger slightly bent and a tap on the table, Su Yu sank into his memories and whispered, "This version was a palace banquet where Wanyan Lei was secretly drunk and hid in the rockery crying to be heard by me." Remembering that she was still a child, Su Yu's expression was relaxed and tinged with suppressed pain.
"Concubine Rong lost his dragon heirs in the first place because of the evil hand of the empress at that time. Concubine Rong wanted to fight back when he learned that the child was not safe, but in the end he blamed the concubines. When the concubine found out that she was pregnant in the cold palace, she wanted to ask someone to tell the old emperor, but the empress found out about it first and told her the truth that she had been sent to the cold palace. Although the concubine did not believe it, she did not dare to gamble. She could only trust the empress's camp so that the mother and son would be safe. After that, the concubine was poisoned and led to madness, but she was also occasionally sober. She would say these grudges to wan yanlei and let him grow up to take revenge. Wanyan Lei might not have understood at that time, but the concubine left her hands behind and hid the truth in the cold palace in the form of a blood book. She repeatedly warned Wanyan Lei to come alone when he grew up." At this point, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes and said, "There's no need for me to tell you more about the rest. You should be able to guess."
"The harem is indeed a big dye furnace. It can change the color of any flowery woman and turn her into a snake and scorpion." Su Mianyue shook her head. She didn't know which version of the story was true either. Maybe there were some, or maybe the third version was the truth.
As for what Su Yu and wan yanlei had talked about, Su Mianyue did not ask, but only urged him to go to bed early, but he fell asleep after tossing and turning for a long time. He was also secretly glad that she could get out of that hideous cave and lamented that Wanyan Lin knew the palace was dangerous, but he had to go back at all costs. It was hard to imagine that he would have to suffer even if he had to implicate his children and grandchildren.
