The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 374 Side story (A Guang story)
At the same time, Sima Feng was already in the capital. Shortly after A Guang was exposed to the poison, an emergency letter came to him. Now he knew what Gu Xinzu meant.
Without wasting any time, he rushed towards the palace.
Surprised, that was Sima Feng's response when he first saw the atmosphere of A Guang's room. At first he still did not believe and denied that all these were just false rumors that were exhaled by the enemy to bring down his mentality. But in the end Sima Feng saw with his own eyes how A Guang was currently.
Sima Feng's body froze, when he saw the stiff body with the pale face of A Guang lying in front of him. Both his parents and his sister were so overwhelmed with grief that no one noticed his arrival.
Until the voice of the servant who welcomed Sima Feng's arrival was heard, making all his family turn their heads immediately.
" sister... "
" A Feng's.. "
Call Ziyan and A Fei together.
A Fei was the first to react and immediately ran to hug Sima Feng. Sobbing shed all his sadness, his heart was currently broken, losing the figure of the older brother who had always been there for him.
Sima Feng hugged A Fei tightly with a bitter look that could not be separated from A Guang.
The Jin Empire mourned, the entire Jin people mourned.
It was truly the darkest day for the Sima family even the sky showed its sadness. For three days the sky was overcast, as if the sun was mourning A Guang's death and chose to hide.
The people of Jin soon learned the news of the grief and also dissolved in sadness. They mourn the death of their crown prince.
Three days after the mourning. Sima Feng started to conduct an investigation. Lie, if his feelings are calm. The fact is that the entire Sima family still feels a sense of loss. Even so he wants to quickly find and avenge his brother's death.
So he came to the interrogation room to 'greet' the man who killed A Guang. Don't be asked how cruelty Sima Feng is. The method he used was no less cruel to the method of the father.
Meanwhile, the,
In the room, Ziyan who had always looked tough, was finally uprooted as well.
" Wife... " Sima Rui hugged Ziyan. His wife looked fragile. His face that was always smiling and looking calm now looked sad and withered.
Sima Rui's heart ached.
" Crying. Please don't be like this. Cry to reduce your sadness. I'm sorry I couldn't look after our son. Sorry.."
Hearing Sima Rui's sorry wail, Ziyan's heart hurt even more. It was not her husband's fault, but Sima Rui always blamed herself as if it had all happened because of her negligence.
Ziyan clutched Sima Rui's clothes while his face he drowned in his chest. Slowly she began to cry, her heart breaking. As a mother, she felt a sense of loss. Seeing the death of the son he conceived and raised himself, his heart was broken.
" A Guang.. "
If he could, Ziyan would exchange his life for the life of his son.
Ziyan cried out. For the first time, Sima Rui saw his wife's cry so heartbreakingly. His heart ached, what really hurt him the most was watching his wife cry but there was nothing he could do. He closed his eyes, without feeling the corner of Sima Rui's eyes wet. The man was crying.
After a while, Ziyan fell asleep. Sima Rui stared sadly at his wife who was exhausted from crying, then gave her a blanket.
" How's your investigation going? " Sima Rui asked the son.
" The killer is still silent? maybe what Gu Xinzu said was true. "
Sima Rui noticed there was a hint of blood on A Feng's shirt, a sign that his son had directly come from the interrogation room.
" Next time change your clothes first before coming here. That place is too dirty, I don't want you to carry a virus that's going to contaminate your mother's palace. "
Sima Feng nodded, "I'm sorry my father didn't notice. " I'm sorry to realize there was a little bloodstain on his shirt.
" What did Gu Xinzu say? " Sima Rui continued asking A Feng.
Sima Feng had indeed not told him about Gu Xinzu, so Sima Rui had not known about the involvement of the Nan Empire.
" He said that the former king of wei colluded with the Nan Empire. But I'm still not sure, considering our relationship with Nan has always been good. "
Sima Rui frowned, suddenly remembering something. However, due to his doubts, he decides to meet his father, Sima Shao.
" Let's go see your grandfather first. "
" huh? Dad, why did we meet with Grandpa? does this have anything to do with Grandpa? "
Sima Feng did not understand why his father had invited him to meet his grandfather, the great emperor when discussing the Nan Empire.
Could it be that his grandfather knew something?
" You'll know after this. There are too many secrets within the Sima family. "
It seemed that Sima Feng's guess was correct. After hearing that, Sima Feng no longer asked.
They arrived at the palace where Sima Shao lived. Sima Rui did not waste time, he immediately asked about the thing that had disturbed his mind since. He hoped that his guess was wrong.
" Father, what is the relationship of the second brother with emperor Nan? "
The surprised Sima Shao almost choked on his own saliva upon hearing Sima Rui's question. A question that requires him to reopen the dark secrets of the Sima family.
" Why are you suddenly asking like that, my son? "
" As A Feng was getting information that the possible death of A Guang had something to do with the Nan Empire colluding with the Wei Kingdom. So, father if my guess is correct, then this must have something to do with the second brother. "
Sima Rui did not want to go around in circles, so he immediately said his question. The fact that Sima Yan was not his father's biological son, he had known a long time ago. But to draw another conclusion, he was still very doubtful.
Sima Shao sighed. In the end, the past that should be buried should be revealed as well.
" That's right, your brother Yan does have something to do with the current emperor Nan. Or rather, emperor Nan was the father of Yan. "
" What! " Excited Sima Feng to be surprised. But it was different from Sima Rui who was much calmer. Probably because he expected it from the beginning.
