The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

"Huo Zhuo? This name doesn't sound like that of a monk at all." Jiang Suining sighed.

"He didn't want to be a monk in the first place, but was forced to do so by his master. He likes fine wine, delicious food, and the bustling and prosperous world. But because of some bullshit wisdom, he was forced to put on a Taoist robe and act like an immortal all day long. If it weren't for those people, he would have been a dazzling young man."

Prince Su's thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago as he spoke, and his eyes were filled with longing.

Jiang Suining did not speak to interrupt the other person's thoughts, but silently recalled in her heart the message that Lin Ziqing had passed on to her the night before.

Lord Tianyin has put a lot of effort into investigating the Taoist priest Qingchen, but has not found much information.

It was not until a few days ago that Lin Ziqing found one of the little Taoist boys who had followed Taoist Qingchen in the past.

The other party had long since returned to secular life and was no longer a monk. He was running a small business in a town more than a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

When Lin Ziqing's people went over, the other party originally didn't want to say anything, but his business was in trouble and he was short of money. Looking at the pile of silver in front of him, he finally told everything.

At that time, he was a little Taoist boy who followed Taoist Master Qingchen to practice Taoism. He didn't know much at first, but one night when he got up in the middle of the night, he happened to see Qingchen meeting someone.

As it was late at night, he was curious and quietly followed to take a look, and as a result, he learned about a secret relationship.

He saw with his own eyes Taoist Qingchen and Prince Su hugging each other.

He was frightened and felt it was strange. He didn't dare to think too much and left quickly.

Not long after that night, Taoist Qingchen was thrown into jail for the crime of poisoning the late emperor.

He vaguely guessed that this incident might be related to what he saw that night. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.

Soon, Taoist Qingchen was sentenced to death by beheading. When the tree fell, the Hu people scattered, and they were no longer allowed to stay in the imperial city.

He was not originally willing to become a monk, he just wanted to make a living, and after leaving the imperial city, he soon returned to secular life, wandering all the way until he arrived at the town where he lives now, and has stayed there ever since.

And he never told anyone what he saw that night.

"I have found it strange before. If Taoist Qingchen really wanted to poison the emperor, why did he put it in the elixir he presented to him? And he did it when he knew that the elixir would be checked by the imperial physician. Isn't this just courting death?"

"At the time, I thought that maybe someone wanted to frame Taoist Qingchen, but then I changed my mind and thought, if Taoist Qingchen was really highly regarded by the late emperor, why would he sentence him to death in such a hurry without even conducting a detailed investigation?"

"So I was puzzled until I heard what the little Taoist boy said. Then I understood. As long as the late emperor wanted Taoist Qingchen to die, no matter how clumsy the frame-up was, he would definitely die."

One is the Taoist priest he trusts, and the other is his youngest brother. However, a special feeling has developed between these two people. If this news spreads, the entire royal family will not know how to talk about it.

Under such circumstances, sacrificing Taoist Qingchen, covering up all the news, and preserving his brother and the royal family's reputation were indeed the most normal choices for the late emperor.

Prince Su's thoughts gradually returned to his senses.

His gaze fell on Jiang Suining again, but the difference was that this time there was no contempt or mockery, no anger or murderous intent, but a calmness that was almost dead.

"Do you feel that this king is disgusting in your heart now?"

"Your Majesty, I..."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what you think, it doesn't matter. But for me, Huo Zhuo is my lover. No matter he is a man or a woman, he is my lover."

"Your Highness has misunderstood. Although this matter is indeed unacceptable to the world, love is inherently difficult to predict and control. You are not the only one in the world who is a homosexual. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that..."

"It's just that I am a member of the royal family." Prince Su took over Jiang Suining's words.

"I am a member of the royal family. My words and actions affect the reputation of the royal family, so I must never do anything that insults the royal family."

"I am a member of the royal family. I don't get to decide on marriage matters. What's more, I dare not try to be with a man. This is simply a great shame."

"I am a member of the royal family. It is unbearable for me to have the habit of homosexuality. It is even more ridiculous for the other party to be a monk. Once the news spreads, the ancestors of the entire Xiao royal family will be ashamed."

Prince Su spoke every word extremely fluently. He had heard such words countless times in his past.

After discovering his feelings, he also used these words to persuade himself.

He even forced a break with Huo Zhuo and wanted to never have any contact with him again.

But no matter how he persuaded himself or how he made up his mind, in the end he couldn't resist the feelings in his heart.

He likes him, whether he is a man or a woman.

He wanted to see him and be with him all the time.

He likes Huo Zhuo, who is the only love of his life.

"Your Highness, I respect your feelings, but have you ever thought that no matter how much you like Taoist Qingchen, he is already dead. The idea of ​​resurrecting him is so absurd. How can you, Your Highness, ..."

"What do you know!" Prince Su interrupted Jiang Suining's words, "The method of resurrection was given to me by Huo Zhuo!"

Jiang Suining was stunned. "Left by Taoist Qingchen?"

"Yes, in order to separate the two of us and not affect the reputation of the royal family, my brother beat me severely. Then, when I was seriously ill and bedridden, he arrested Huo Zhuo and put him in jail, and blocked all the news. I had no way of knowing anything. But fortunately, my servant at the time couldn't bear it and tried his best to pass the news to me."

"What happened next? What did the prince do?" Jiang Suining asked.

"Later, despite my injuries, I quietly sneaked into the prison and wanted to take him away, but he refused."

"Huo Zhuo said that if he really left, my brother would be furious. But I don't care about me. I just want to take him away and don't want to care about anything else. So he said that he knew a secret method that could help the dead come back to life. After he died, he told me to follow the secret method, and he would definitely come back to life."

"Your Majesty believes it?"

Prince Su shook his head. "I didn't believe it at first, but my brother showed up before we left. The plan to rescue him failed completely, and I was injured and unconscious again. When I woke up, I learned... that Huo Zhuo had been executed."
