"How much did you...hear?"

Grand Tutor Zhou was not prepared for the old man's sudden appearance. Seeing his angry face, he asked carefully, "Did you remember?"

Qingyun's life was really too hard without Mingzhu, and he was really afraid that he would become like that again.

The old man hummed solemnly, "I remember something. Answer me first, did you bury that person next to Mingzhu?"

"Yeah, we thought it was you."

Grand Tutor Zhou was speechless.

The old man shouted into his ear, "Dig it out, dig it out for me."

Su Heting hurried forward and released his hand. "Grandfather, don't worry. I'll write to Liang Shi and ask him to dig that man out."

The old man then loosened Grand Tutor Zhou's collar and said, "You and I have been brothers for a lifetime, yet you can't even understand this."

He no longer had the usual cheerful look on his face. His lip lines were lowered, and his whole face was stern, revealing a sense of majesty and murderous intent.

"If I wanted to find Mingzhu, why would I have waited so many years? Why wouldn't I have seen you, Hui'er, and my grandson?"

"It's my brother's fault."

Grand Tutor Zhou lowered his head, thinking that it was indeed irrational.

Although Huiyue was fostered under his name, Qingyun cared very much about his daughter Huiyue and always protected her silently.

It was impossible to abandon her daughter, especially since the queen had just lost her second son at that time and was feeling so miserable that she locked herself in the Buddhist temple.

"But the corpse still has the jade pendant given to you by the late emperor hanging around its waist. You never take it off."

He is the commander-in-chief of the ghost army. Who can steal the jade pendant and the burial objects from him?

It was because of this idea, coupled with their similar appearance, that they did not suspect anything at the time.

What's more, Mingzhu's death was a huge blow to Qingyun. He looked like his soul had been with Mingzhu for a long time during those years. Who would doubt that he didn't commit suicide for love?

The old man sat down beside him with great vigor, “Back then, Asong and I, our family of three, lived in seclusion on an isolated island on the sea. When Asong went ashore to purchase supplies, I learned that Hui’er had a difficult birth, so I planned to rush back to the capital.

But I heard from the merchants who were sailing far away that there was a gynecologist in the country across the sea who was very good at regulating women's bodies.

I thought of going across the street to invite someone and bringing him to the capital to treat Hui'er.

I thought it would take at most two months to make the round trip, but the ship encountered a storm at sea. Although I was fine, all my belongings were lost.

The jade pendant must have been snatched away by someone while I was trying to survive in the water. I grabbed some driftwood and drifted on the sea for a few days. When I woke up, I didn't remember anything."

In other words, my grandfather didn't know who attacked him, and that person fabricated his death, which clearly revealed my grandfather's identity.

Su Heting's heart sank slightly. "Grandfather, do you remember how you went to the mountains?"

Found him deep in the mountains.

When the old man faced Su Heting, his expression relaxed a lot and he shook his head.

He only remembered part of it, and there were many things he couldn't remember.

"I entered the mountain without thinking, and then I always felt like there was something else I needed to do, so I often thought about running out of the mountain."

When he really got out of the mountains, he couldn't remember where he was going or what he was going to do, but there was also a little thing in the mountains that he couldn't let go of. So he ran around in and out of the mountains like this during those years.

But he never thought of taking the little thing out of the mountain. Perhaps in his subconscious, he felt that it was not safe outside the mountain.

Thinking of the years when he was crazy, Su Heting was often abandoned in the mountains when he was a little child.

The old man felt guilty, but he didn't want to show it, so he turned to look at Grand Tutor Zhou.

"Have you sent anyone to look after Mingzhu over the years?"

He hated the Fang family, so he did not bury the pearl in the Fang family's ancestral land. Instead, he bought a place on a hill with a great view from which he could see the capital.

Now Zhou Jia and Hui Er are gone...

"Yes, I left a family to live at the foot of that mountain before I left Beijing."

Hearing what Grand Tutor Zhou said, the old man's expression softened a bit. "It was my fault for being careless back then. Thank you for your hard work over the years."

How could Grand Tutor Zhou dare to say it was hard? "As long as you're alive, what are your plans now?"

The old man snorted and laughed, "Keep going, I want to see which sewer rat is behind this."

Only if he continues to act crazy and stupid will the other party let down their guard.

As for the emperor, he used to coax his daughter Hui'er like a little follower every day, but he dared to ignore her not long after they got married.

No one knew what he did to Hui'er that broke her heart, and she locked herself in the Buddhist temple and died of depression.

Thinking of something, he looked at Su Heting with a serious look, then looked at Grand Tutor Zhou and asked, "Are you Si Yu?"

Su Heting was startled, but did not deny it. "Yes, how did grandfather know?"

"I raised my grandson myself, so I know him best."

The old man pondered and said, "He'er has been with me since he was a child. He didn't have much education. But later on, you had unique insights into politics and military affairs. The old man knew that the poor child was gone.

The third prince looks gentle, but he is not easy to approach. If you were just the second prince, he would not bring you into the study to chat several times when he first met you.

And Xibaoer, although she is indeed a good child, you have been with the old man for five years, and you looked down on many girls who were sent away, but you chose to snatch her away. It can only be that you like her.

The biggest flaw is An Yi, who was personally selected by the old man and sent to you. "

His mind was confused before, he forgot many things and couldn't think of so much. Now that he remembered some things and thought about it a little, it was not difficult for him to guess.

What's more, Su Heting respected him as his grandfather and didn't guard against him in many things.

Su Heting really didn't know that Liang Shi was sent to him by his grandfather. He always thought it was arranged by the late emperor, and even Liang Shi himself thought so.

"Then why didn't Grandfather expose me?"

Su Heting was moved.

After all, the old man at that time didn't know that the prince was also his grandson.

The old man put his hand on the pipe at his waist. It was the real one polished for him by Su Heting himself.

"It wasn't you who poisoned him, but this body belongs to He'er. Since you've entered this body, you're also the old man's grandson."

He suddenly gave a wry smile.

He seemed to be in debt all his life.

I owe Mingzhu, I owe Huier, I owe the prince, and I owe Heer even more.

It was obvious that they depended on each other for survival during those years, but because of his madness, he never served as a grandfather properly for a single day, and instead had to have a child to take care of him.

"Perhaps I committed too many sins in this life, or perhaps I committed unforgivable crimes in my past life, and this is the retribution."

"Grandfather, this is not your fault. Your killing is for the sake of world peace."

Su Heting squatted at his feet and said, "My grandson died in the fire that year, and I feel depressed and gloomy. If it weren't for my grandfather's influence, I wouldn't be like this today.

You are salvation to your grandson, and you are salvation to the people of the world."

Therefore, this is not retribution, but the result of evil people causing trouble.

The old man really likes Su Heting, and now that he knows that he is his eldest grandson, he feels even more vulnerable.

He hurriedly pulled the man up and said, "When the old man goes crazy, he won't even recognize you. What can he do to save you? It's just that you have goodness in your heart."

He put on a stern face again, "However, I will definitely settle accounts with those who harmed you one by one, otherwise you will not be able to face Mingzhu after your death.

The Dayou royal family has fallen into the hands of that bastard and has become rotten beyond recognition. Let's overturn his throne and make him step down to apologize to my Hui'er."

He pledged his loyalty to the late emperor for the sake of world peace, but also for his wife, daughters, and grandchildren.

But now the royal family he is loyal to has harmed the people he cares about, so how can he be so loyal? What's more, Dayou was originally left to his grandson by the late emperor.

When Su Heting heard this, he thought of Qiao Xi. She had said something similar before, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

The old man noticed his expression and thought he agreed with what he said, so he looked at Grand Tutor Zhou and asked, "Are you willing to help him?"

Without waiting for Grand Tutor Zhou to answer, he waved his hand and said, "Whether you like it or not, you have no choice. The emperor has forced you into this corner.

If the world really falls into chaos, Jiangning will be devoured by other forces if it has no support."

Grand Tutor Zhou glared at him, "Then why are you asking me?"

The old man raised his gray eyebrows and said, "It's just a gesture. As brothers, we should be of the same mind.

The younger one follows the older one. This was agreed upon when we became sworn brothers. Don't think you can just play dumb and ignore it just because you're older."

Thinking of something, his face became serious again, "When you talk to me next time, be careful with your tone."

Don't let people misunderstand you and make him think that they have some shameful relationship.

Grand Tutor Zhou had no idea that he had imagined all this and was baffled by his warning, but seeing how lively he looked, he was too lazy to argue with him.

"I will support him, but it's not easy for us to fight against the imperial court alone. Do you still remember how to summon the ghost army?"
