Chapter 615: Chapter 615 Departure 1

“Was what she just mentioned true?”

Before Mu Lingyun mentioned these things, Qin Xun had been completely unaware of them and was surprised that such matters existed.

Ouyang Han nodded, “Yes, that is true.”

Qin Xun frowned and asked in a low voice, “Then, the true identity of the Queen that she mentioned, what is it?”

Seeing the question, Ouyang Han’s eyebrows tightened.

Actually, he didn’t want to talk about these things at all.

And they shouldn’t be lightly disclosed.

But he had a life-deep bond with Qin Xun.

After a slight hesitation, Ouyang Han still spoke, “The father of the Queen was the enemy general who trapped and killed a hundred thousand of our Qin Kingdom’s soldiers.”

Qin Xun was completely shocked!

Though misfortune should not be extended to the wife and children, how could the people have such reason?

Even though that enemy general had ultimately been defeated and perished.

But could the people’s hatred be so easily extinguished?

“How could you let the Ouyang Family do such a thing?” Qin Xun asked, frowning at Ouyang Han.

If such a thing were to spread, the Qin Kingdom really would have no place for the Ouyang Family anymore.

“How old was I at that time? I couldn’t stop it!” Ouyang Han said somewhat helplessly, “Moreover, the one in the palace, after all, is the king. My father couldn’t persuade him, so he could only let him have his way!”

This matter, he actually came to know about when he grew a bit older.

To want to stop it was already too late.

Moreover, it was Mu Yi who made the request, and his father had no room to refuse.

“The one in the palace really likes the current Queen that much? He doesn’t even care about her background?” Qin Xun asked, frowning.

“To clear the way for the current Queen, he couldn’t even keep his first wife, what do you think?” Ouyang Han snorted coldly.

He actually felt no fondness for today’s Great King.

Startled, Qin Xun felt that the information he had heard today completely overturned his understanding.

“Are you saying that the former Queen’s death had another hidden reason!”

Ouyang Han’s expression darkened slightly, realizing that these were matters he shouldn’t be discussing.

Thus, he fell silent.

Qin Xun looked stunned.

He thought for a moment, then said, “No wonder the legitimate princess, whenever she mentions the one in the palace, calls him by name directly, without any hint of respect.”

Ouyang Han had noticed this as well.

“She wasn’t even born at the time of those events; she shouldn’t know about them,” Ouyang Han said with some confusion.

“Perhaps some of the former Queen’s old followers told her?” Qin Xun guessed.

Listening, Ouyang Han nodded.

That was the only explanation.

“Just now I was wondering, why was Dou Zhang provoking the legitimate princess unprovoked? It seems it was instructed by the one in the palace. Perhaps he feels even she cannot be left alone?” Qin Xun speculated.

Ouyang Han’s frown deepened.

They say even a fierce tiger does not eat its cubs, but the one in the palace seems to disregard everything.

“To act to such an extent, is indeed rare,” Ouyang Han said, frowning.

Qin Xun’s face was grim, his brows and eyes also carrying a trace of disdain.

–

Mu Yi was unaware that, because of his actions, those he regarded as talents had begun to disdain him.

He had always been focused on the competition between Mu Lingyun and Dou Zhang.

He could never have anticipated that he would receive news that Mu Lingyun had put down Dou Zhang in one round.

And that Dou Zhang had knelt and kowtowed to Mu Lingyun, calling him “Grandfather Mu Lingyun!”

“Useless!” Mu Yi was furious!

He had even sworn a brotherhood with Dou Zhang back then!
