I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue also had the same question.

[Sister, if Luo Weize was able to massacre the entire Helan Li family, how did grandma survive? ]

System: [When the massacre took place, Helan Yun was only five years old.]

[When Luo Weize led a group of martial arts masters into the palace of the eldest prince Helan Li, the guards in the palace immediately reacted and began to fight back.]

[But the martial arts skills of those martial arts masters were obviously much better than those of the guards. The assassins pushed straight into the mansion with overwhelming momentum.]

[Helan Li also received the news from the housekeeper, and immediately asked his wife to take Helan Yun into hiding, while he himself prepared to go out and fight the enemy with the experts around him.]

[Helan Li’s martial arts skills are not bad, so he must go out and fight, because he knows that only by breaking out and finding rescue can he survive! ]

Qin Yue: [Doesn't Helan Li's family have a tunnel or something? Like the tunnel that Yu Lianxin built at that time? ]

System: [Host, the reason why there was a tunnel in the Prince of Nanli's Mansion at that time was because Yu Lianxin received a tip from Eunuch Li and began to doubt Empress Dowager Xiao.]

[She is a very cautious person. Even if there is a slight possibility, she will prepare a backup plan, so she secretly built the tunnel. Nan Li was not aware of this process at all.]

[But Helan Li was different. Before Luo Weize and his men came in to kill him, there was no sign. No one would have thought that someone in Southern Xinjiang would dare to kill the eldest prince's mansion.]

[Therefore, Helan Li was completely caught off guard and passively responded to the enemy without any preparation.]

[At that time, Helan Yun was taken by the eldest prince's wife to hide in a secret gap in the rockery in the backyard. It was a space formed naturally by the rockery that Helan Yun accidentally discovered while playing.]

[But the entrance to the secret space was very small, and only children could enter. The eldest prince's wife asked Helan Yun to hide inside, and told her not to speak, to wait patiently for someone to rescue her, and not to go out on her own initiative unless someone she knew called her.]

[Then the eldest prince's wife raised her sword and followed Helan Li, vowing to live and die with the eldest prince's mansion! ]

Qin Yue: [Alas, my grandmother was only five years old at that time. She must have been terrified hiding in a small space all by herself... She was very sensible to be able to hide until she was rescued!]

System: [Although Helan Yun was hiding in the secret space of the rockery at that time, his eyes could see everything outside the rockery.]

[She watched helplessly as those martial arts masters stabbed people in the throat with a single sword strike. Blood instantly splattered, splashing onto the rockery. Helan Yun's face was also stained with blood.]

[In that situation, I guess no one would not be scared, not to mention that He Lanyun was only a five-year-old girl at the time, so she was naturally terrified. However, no matter how scared she was, she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming.]

[In this way, Helan Yun escaped the massacre, but Helan Li and the eldest prince's wife died at the hands of those people.]

【Then Luo Weize and his assassins committed suicide. After all, they were killing the current crown prince, and they had no way out before they started the action.】

After hearing this, the three members of the Qin family were all heartbroken.

They couldn't imagine how scared a child like that must be, watching people he knew die one by one in front of him.

However, despite this, she still adhered to the orders of the eldest prince's wife. Faced with such a bloody scene, the little person just clenched her lips and said nothing.

Ugh……

For a child, such an experience would probably become a lifelong nightmare...

Lu never thought that her mother had experienced such a terrible thing. She watched her close ones being killed and she couldn't even cry out. How helpless she must have been.

Whenever Lu thought of that scene, she felt heartbroken.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten that her father and mother had concealed her secret for nearly twenty years. She just wanted to hug her mother and give her warmth.

Qin Yue: [Alas... Grandma is so pitiful...┭┮﹏┭┮]

[Wait a minute, sister, if the assassin didn't find my grandmother, wouldn't he be suspicious? After all, Luo Weize must have investigated the personnel situation in the Grand Prince's Mansion before taking action.]

[Shouldn't Luo Weize have found his grandmother before committing suicide? ]

The system explained: [After Helan Yun went into hiding, the eldest prince's wife's wet nurse volunteered to let her granddaughter wear Helan Yun's clothes.]

[The two children are of similar age and build. If you don’t look at their faces and are not close to them, you will definitely not be able to notice them.]

[So, the granddaughter of the wet nurse was killed by the killer instead of Helan Yun! ]

Qin Yue: [But, as you said, even if the two children have similar bodies, their faces are completely different! ]

[Even if the killer was fooled, it shouldn't be possible to hide it from the then-national master and the queen mother. It's impossible for them not to recognize their granddaughter. They must have sent people to investigate thoroughly! ]

[After all, she might be the only survivor in the Grand Prince's Mansion, and she's also their own granddaughter. It's impossible not to care! ]

The three members of the Qin family also agreed.

Yes, if Helan Yun was not found by anyone in the mansion, and those killers committed suicide, then Helan Yun must have either escaped or died in some secret place and was not found.

No matter who it is, the Imperial Master and the Queen Mother will definitely investigate it. Even Helan Tu will not let Helan Yun go.

If he doesn't get rid of the roots of the problem, he will be in trouble in the future.

So, why didn't they suspect me at that time?

System: [Host, you forgot that the Southern Xinjiang royal family has the ability to disguise themselves! ]

[After Helan Li knew he was no match for his opponent, he and the eldest prince's wife returned to the backyard, while all the masters around Helan Li fought desperately to buy him time.]

Qin Yue: [So it was Helan Li who used the disguise technique? That’s why everyone thought that grandma was also dead? ]

System: [That’s right! When Helan Li learned that the eldest prince’s wife had hidden Helan Yun and that the eldest prince’s wife’s wet nurse’s granddaughter had replaced Helan Yun’s identity, Helan Li knew what the eldest prince was planning.]

[So, after Helan Li tested the skills of those assassins, he immediately decided to use the art of disguise to provide his daughter with a last resort.]

Qin Yue: [Alas, it’s such a pity for the wet nurse’s granddaughter…]

System: [The wet nurse's granddaughter was originally raised as Helan Yun's maid, and has had a master-servant relationship with Helan Yun since she was a child.]

[So when her wet nurse suggested that she replace Helan Yun, she did not hesitate at all, even though she knew the final result might be death.]

[However, no matter what her identity was, in the face of such a massacre, the final result was death. It would be better to use her death to exchange for Helan Yun's life. That way, her death would have meaning.]

Qin Yue: [Wow... such a young child actually knows all this. It would be great if he wasn't dead! It's all Helan Tu's fault. Wouldn't it be better for him to be a free and easy prince instead of being a state teacher?!]

[This is really too bad... wuwu...]
