At this moment, a messenger rushed to the gate of Yujing City.

The city guards were about to stop him when they saw the messenger take out the token and shouted hoarsely.

"Eight hundred miles urgent battle report!"

Baixin, who was near the city gate, hurriedly moved away, and the guards who defended the city also stepped back, daring not to stop him.

They looked at the back of the galloping messenger and whispered.

"Where did the battle report come from?"

"Shouldn't it be a fight?"

"I don't know, I hope it's a false alarm, don't fight."

...

The messenger ran wildly through the city on horseback.

When he ran to the palace gate, the horse was too tired to stand still and fell directly to the ground.

The messenger fell down.

He didn't care about the pain, he got up with his hands and feet on the ground, raised the token representing his identity, and shouted at the guards in front of the palace gate.

"Battle report! Eight hundred miles expedited battle report!"

His voice changed pitch because he shouted too hard.

The Imperial Guards checked the token and hurriedly opened the palace gate after confirming that it was correct.

At this moment, Xiao Lian walked out of the palace.

He looked at the messenger running past, and his footsteps paused slightly.

He also heard the roar of the messenger just now, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Is there a war at the border?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lian's footsteps immediately quickened.

After leaving the palace, he rode back to the county palace.

Niaowei was not in the mansion, and only after asking did she find out that she had gone to Deng's mansion.

So Xiao Fan immediately went out and rode to Deng's house.

By the time he arrived at Deng Mansion, the sun had already set, and the sky was gradually turning dark.

In the study, Yu Curly put the two pieces of letter paper back into the mahogany box.

Seeing Deng Yuchuan's sad expression, she knew that now was not the time to say these words, but she still asked.

"You already know the truth, do you still plan to go to the palace to see the queen mother?"

Deng Yuchuan was silent.

He traveled thousands of miles to Yujing in order to confront Deng Yuluo and find out why Li Niang died?

Now that the truth is in front of him, his purpose has been achieved.

But he didn't need to confront Deng Yuluo anymore.

But he was unwilling to let him stop there.

Li Niang died so tragically, he wanted to get justice for her.

But the other party is the queen mother.

Although the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, it was just talk. Deng Yuchuan knew that the reality would not be so beautiful. The queen mother was the emperor's biological mother and a woman who stood at the top of power.

Wanting to convict the queen mother is tantamount to taking chestnuts out of the fire, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself in the fire.

What's more, this matter also involves the origin of the emperor.

Once the Queen Mother's guilt is proven, everyone will know that the Emperor is not orthodox.

The emperor would never allow such a thing to happen.

Deng Yuchuan was already half-dead. He was not afraid of death, but behind him stood the entire Deng family.

If Deng Yuluo's accusation of confusing the royal bloodline is confirmed, the Deng family will definitely suffer, and the century-old legacy accumulated by the ancestors is likely to be destroyed in his hands.

At this moment, Deng Yuchuan wanted to understand a lot of things.

His father should have known the truth long ago.

The reason why Deng Yuluo was able to pass the inspection during the draft was because the Deng family contributed to it.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how Deng Yuluo, a weak woman, can pass through the layers of screening.

Father knew everything, and he even became Deng Yuluo's accomplice.

He tied the future of the Deng family and Deng Yuluo together, in order to stabilize the foundation of the Deng family.

It wasn't that he didn't want to worry about Li Niang's life or death, but compared to the entire Deng family, Li Niang's fate seemed less important.

It's cold, but it's the reality.

That's why my father said that he is not only Li Niang's father, but also the head of the Deng family. What he has to take into account is the future of the entire Deng family.

Now, he is in the father's place.

He also has to face the same choice as his father——

Are you desperate to get justice for Li Niang?

Or do you pretend that nothing happened, in order to preserve the long-term prosperity of the Deng family?

After a long time, Deng Yuchuan spoke slowly, his voice difficult.

"What is the princess planning to do?"

Yu curling said without hesitation: "I want to fulfill Li Niang's last wish, let the truth be revealed to the world, and let the real murderer behind the scenes fall under the law, the blood debt must be paid for by blood!"

Deng Yuchuan: "Have you ever thought that by doing this, you may put the people around you in danger, such as Prince Lang, whose situation in the court is already difficult. If you insist on making the truth public, Not only will Prince Lang's future be ruined, but he may even risk his life for it."

Thinking of Xiao Wan, Yu Weiwei's mood became complicated, and her voice became much lighter.

"I'll do my best to keep him safe."

Deng Yuchuan said, "You can't have the best of both worlds. Whether it is swallowing up for the living or justice for the dead, between the two, you can only choose one."

Yu Weiwei was speechless.

This choice is really difficult.

The atmosphere in the study became extremely depressing.

At this time, the door was knocked, and Deng Luyun's voice came in.

"Grandpa, Prince Lang is here."

The atmosphere in the house calmed down a little.

Yu curled up to find his voice.

"I should go back."

Deng Yuchuan supported the armrest of the seat with both hands, ready to stand up to see the guest.

Yu curling hurriedly said: "No need to send it."

But Deng Yuchuan insisted on sending her out of the study.

When Deng Luyun saw his grandfather coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

The grandparents and grandsons saluted Xiao Yan.

Xiao Lian nodded slightly at the two of them, and then left Deng Mansion with a curl.

After the two of them left, Deng Yuchuan locked himself in the study, looking at the suicide note left by Li Niang, and couldn't fall asleep all night.

Yu curling and Xiao Juan returned to the county prince's mansion.

Mother Xiuyan had already prepared a sumptuous meal for them.

But curl has no appetite.

Xiao Lian looked at her worried look and asked.

"What happened to you?"

Yu curling hesitated again and again, but still told the contents of the suicide note left by Li Niang.

After Xiao Yan heard this, he was naturally very surprised.

Although he had long guessed that Feng Lianghan was Li Niang's child, he did not expect that Feng Lianghan's biological father was the late emperor.

No wonder Feng Lianghan was killed.

Regardless of whether Feng Lianghan knew the truth of the year or not, just based on his background, it is enough to become a big worry for Empress Dowager Deng, and it must be eradicated and eradicated.

Yu Weiwei poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and said slowly.

"I want the truth to come out, I want justice for my mother and stepfather, but I'm worried that doing so will put you in danger."

Xiao Lian: "From the moment I married you, I was ready to live and die with you. You just do what you want, don't worry about me."

Yu curling felt a little sour on the nose.

She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

She said in a low voice.

"Thank you."
