"I can tell you everything, but before that, you have to promise me one thing."

Xiao Qing replied in a deep voice, "I promise you."

Zhao Jin raised his brows, "I haven't said anything yet, you shouldn't agree so readily. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to end this in the future …"

"I have to do things all by myself. Does Lord Zhao think that I would do so many things without knowing it?" Xiao Qingran said in a calm tone: "Since I've come today, I have long since made my preparations. Even if there comes a day when I have to do my best to ensure the safety of everyone in the Zhao manor."

It wasn't as if they were talking about 'when did the injustice come to an end'. Although the 110 lives back then were innocent, there were still many innocent people in the Zhao manor. They should not have paid for the grievances from more than 20 years ago with their lives.

Zhao Jin's pupils quivered. He stared at Xiao Qing Ran for a while before sighing, "Alright, this old man believes in you."

Not only did he believe in her, he also believed in the abilities of the person backing her.

"That's right. Back then, the Su Clan's destruction was indeed caused by this old man." "Back then, I was ordered to annihilate the Su Clan, but because there were too many people in the Su Clan at that time, we could not guarantee that we could get rid of them, so we thought of a way to burn a hundred people. Afterwards, the Empress ordered the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice not to interfere in this matter, and joined forces with many people in the court to deceive them, turning the assassination of one hundred people into an ordinary case of self-immolation."

"After that, when General Feng returned from the battle, we intentionally created evidence to guide him so that he would not be able to investigate the case. Thus, the destruction of the Su Residence was completely concealed."

Although she already knew the truth, she still felt a bit angry in her heart when she heard him speaking with such a calm tone, but she suppressed it very well, "I already know about this matter. Even regarding the matter of Feng Xiang leaving the imperial court and entering the palace, Feng Fei was actually accused of adultery back then, right? She must have found out something that caused her to be silenced in this way. "

"That's right, the incident with Feng Fei was a trap that this old man found someone to do according to the Empress' wishes."

"There's no need to say more about the results. I want to know why?" Xiao Qingxi frowned. "Back then, the crown prince was still young. Even if the empress wanted to flatten his path, she shouldn't have been so desperate."

"No, although the final reason is for the throne, the Empress wanted to rope in the Su palace at the beginning. What happened afterwards wasn't actually part of our plan." Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes in contemplation. "From the start, we have to start. In the past, esteemed imperial concubine Lin Han received favor from His Majesty, but within a few years she gave birth to a prince."

"At that time, the empress had no sons, so she had long feared esteemed wangfei Lin. In the end, the empress thought that there was hope for the birth of a prince, but she discovered that because esteemed wangfei's family had a good relationship with Prime Minister Su, Prime Minister Su valued the youth of the Frigid King." Several times she sent people to win him over to her side, but it was of no use. "

"Right at this moment, the Su Palace's direct daughter and the General Feng Jing were having an affair. If these two are related, then the Queen's direct son will have to face three families in the future. When Feng Jing went to war and used Xiao Zhi to deliver a letter, Xiao Zhi was just a minor errand within the army. Since he was unable to ascend the throne, the empress used him as a bait to give Xiao Zhi and the prime minister's daughter a couple. "

"Although Su Lian'er hates Xiao Zhi, she has no other choice. The empress knows that she will definitely feel sorry for Feng Jing Jing, who was on the battlefield, with her personality, and push him away. As expected of the empress, Su Lian'er and Xiao Zhi became her concubines, and Feng Xiang had completely given up on marrying our Zhao Family. "

"Things should have come to an end here, but in less than a year, things have changed again." As Zhao Jin said this, he intentionally glanced at Xiao Qinglan: "Do you know that you and Feng Xi'er were actually born on the same day?"

Xiao Qing's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Jin shook his head. "That year, before Zhao Qian married into the Phoenix Estate, she was already pregnant, so Feng Xi'er was not Feng Jing Jing's biological daughter. Based on the time she married her, you …"

"I am not the daughter of Xiao Zhi?!" Xiao Qing Ran's back turned cold and her tone rose unconsciously, "That's impossible! Nonsense! Back then, mother clearly … "Obviously …"

She opened her mouth and suddenly remembered what Liu Suifeng had said that day.

'After the man left, she shut herself in her room every day and soon fell ill. She was weak and often vomited … ' 'Slowly, after a few months … '

At that time, his mother was already pregnant? That's why he said that he … He was the real Feng Xi'er?!

Zhao Jin sighed, "It seems like the reason your mother agreed to Xiao Zhi's request so quickly was because she knew the truth of her pregnancy. She didn't want to make it difficult for Feng Jing Jing and was even more unwilling to let the Su Residence take the blame for this."

Xiao Qingyi understood what being pregnant before marriage meant to the females of this era.

"And then? So what if the empress knows the truth about your mother's pregnancy? "

The main problem lies in the fact that you are the only one who is still a phoenix child. In fact, no matter if it is the Prime Minister's Palace or the General's Office, the fault lies in the fact that the five-year-old Duke of Han was sickly. At that time, the Prime Minister Yuan Feng had calculated the consequences for him, saying that his fate would not be the same until he reached the age of thirty.

Xiao Qingyi clenched her fists tightly: "So you guys killed me at that time?"

Zhao Jin nodded his head, "That's right, I've been ordered to go there. Who would have known that the Su Clan would see through it? Su Xiang had always been sharp and quick to find out that there was someone behind all of this, so if he knew the truth, he would definitely report it to His Majesty. At that time, the Empress would be in an even worse situation."

"We might as well just leave it at that. We'll take advantage of Feng Jing's second visit to the battlefield to kill off all the threats. First, it's the Su palace, then it's esteemed imperial concubine Lin Feixue herself."

'Bang! ' Just as he finished his sentence, the sound of something being knocked over came from the room next to him.

Zhao Jin was startled and instinctively turned around to look.

Xiao Qingyan frowned, blocking his line of sight, and asked: "Then mother, was the mother in the Xiao Residence also you two?"

"That's not it. Su Lian'er is very intelligent and guessed everything after we attacked the Su Clan. She did not act alone because of you. She planned to ask Feng Jing Jing for help when he returned. We had originally planned to kill her before then, but before we could do so, she had already died from an illness. Only later on did I find out that it was that lady from the Xiao Residence who did it. "

"Your mother's looks, education, and birth are all above her. Although she is the official wife, she was suppressed by your mother. She took advantage of the destruction of the Su Clan."

"Li Jing …" Xiao Qing Ran's expression gradually turned cold as killing intent and mockery quickly flashed through her eyes.

As expected, all the grievances in this world were repaid in cycles. Although she didn't know about it before, she had unconsciously avenged her mother. Li Jing was now suffering a fate worse than death, but it was better to vent her hatred by killing her.

"Alright, now that you know the whole truth, just tell me what you plan to do next." Zhao Jin had completely given up on struggling. "Do you want me to go before His Majesty and confess this matter?"

"No, not now." Xiao Qing Ran's gaze was cold and dark.

Zhao Jin frowned and didn't wait for the question.

The door to the room to the side was suddenly opened. Soo He and the others walked out, including the pale-faced and flustered Queen Lan Ying, who had lost all of her dignity.

"Zhao Jin, you actually dare to slander me!" Lan Ying ran towards Zhao Jin like a madman, looking as if she wanted to fight him to the death.

Xiao Qing Luan chuckled and reached out to grab her wrist before flinging her out. She said coldly, "What is the Empress doing? Your Majesty is still here, so I hope that the Empress will treat this matter with dignity. "

Su Qianxing stepped forward and caught Lan Ying who almost fell to the ground. He glared at the person in front of him and said, "You planned this a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Not all of them. I still have to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his schemes. If you didn't ensnare my foster father into prison, I wouldn't have borrowed your strength to do so." Xiao Qing Ran smiled coldly and then bowed slightly towards Yue He. "Your Majesty, I believe you have heard all of Lord Zhao's words. As the Su Clan's last vassal woman, I plead for Your Majesty to avenge my grandfather's family!"

"Your Majesty …" "Your Majesty …" Although Zhao Jin knew that Xiao Qing Qing wanted to make use of him, he didn't expect her to invite His Majesty here. This time, he really had no chance of turning back.

"Your Majesty, please don't listen to him. Chenqie didn't do anything because they framed her. They've charged Chenqie with such a heinous crime in order to sow discord between you and Xing'er …" Lan Ying kneeled on the ground, clutching her chest as she wailed, "Your Majesty, Xing'er is now the crown prince. Those people with ill intentions want to take Xing'er down from this position. They …" Actually, the reason they threw dirty water at chenqie was directed at her ~ Your Majesty … Your Majesty, you must not listen to this lowly one's words! "

"One sided?" Xiao Qingyan let out a cold laugh: "Then how do you explain the corpses on the ground? "Esteemed Empress said I was the one who set up this trap for esteemed wangfei, so my ability shouldn't be enough. Can you find so many imperial guards to accompany me in this show?"

"Of course you can't, but that doesn't mean the people behind you can't!" Lan Ying retorted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should know the relationship between the Duke of Han and this girl. For her, the Duke of Han had clashed with Your Majesty multiple times, and it's not impossible for him to have a guard against this girl in private. Your Majesty, if you really believe in your concubine and her, then …" "We, mother and son, are really unjustly accused ~"
