Chapter 165 "What" "How come?"
As soon as Zuo Yuanfeng finished speaking, Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er sounded surprised at the same time.
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng lowered his head and glanced at the Gu insect key in his hand.
He immediately held the iron box in his hand and walked towards his Taishi chair behind the mahogany desk.
Until Zuo Yuanfeng sat down steadily, Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er still looked surprised and puzzled.
They stood blankly, their eyes staring at themselves motionless, as if He only waited for Zuo Yuanfeng's answer.
Zuo Yuanfeng looked at the two people standing in front of him, sighed softly, and waved slightly, indicating that they both should sit down.
Seeing this, Deng Si'er turned around and looked at each other with Zuo Chi.
When he saw Zuo Chi moving his eyes slightly at him, he sat back obediently.
Zuo Chi also sat down with Deng Si'er, straightened his body, and looked at his father Zuo Yuanfeng without blinking.
Zuo Yuanfeng, however, looked down at the Gu worm key in his hand that had almost been forgotten in his memory.
After sighing softly, he looked up at Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er and slowly said : "Since you all know that this iron box is called Gu Insect Key, you must not be unaware of the special features of this iron box."
"I remember Uncle Jing once said that this Gu insect key refers to the method of opening this iron box.
It seems that there is a kind of insect hidden in the keyhole of this box.
You need to use the key and blood together to open it.
Open it."
Deng Si'er heard what Chu Jing had said. said out loud.
"Yes, I remember clearly what Uncle Jing said back then."
Zuo Chi also said at the side.
"Originally, the key and the keyhole can be combined with the keyhole in this iron box, but because the voodoo insects live in groups, they block the keyhole, making your key unable to work.
However, stimulated by human blood, those The worms will disperse.
The keyhole will be clear, and as long as there is a matching key, it will not be difficult to open.
"I'm right," Zuo Yuanfeng said again.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er couldn't help but look at each other again, obviously very confused about this Gu insect key.
Why did Zuo Yuanfeng know so much about what Chu Jing said back then?
Zuo Yuanfeng lifted the small iron box in his hand and stretched it in front of Deng Si'er. asked: "When you opened it, it required your blood."
Deng Si'er blinked his eyes and looked at Zuo Yuanfeng, unable to say a word, but he said in his heart: How come you even know this?
Seeing what he didn't understand, Zuo Yuanfeng took his hand back, glanced at Deng Si'er, then looked at his son, and said: "What happened back then was originally very complicated, even more thrilling and weird than what you might guess now."
"Father, are you too?"
Zuo Chi immediately understood something when he saw this. said in surprise.
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded without any concealment, his eyes were fixed on the small iron box in his hand and never left, but he still said: "That's right, since you have investigated the matter to this extent, there is no harm in telling you.
Back then, Deng Si'er's father, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and I were close friends."
"My dear friend, how is this possible?"
Zuo Chi looked even more surprised than before.
My father was actually close friends with His Royal Highness the King of Yue.
Why have I never heard my father and mother mention it?
Or even, why have I never heard anyone mention it?
Seeing Zuo Chi's appearance, Zuo Yuanfeng knew what Zuo Chi was thinking at this time, so with a little sadness mixed with a hint of helplessness, he said slowly: "It's normal for you to be surprised and confused.
After all, I haven't mentioned this to anyone since the Three Kings' Rebellion happened sixteen years ago."
"But if you don't tell me, why is my mother her?"
Zuo Chi said again.
"What you don't know is that your mother is the fourth child of the late emperor, but she is also the most beloved sister of the current emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Zuo Yuanfeng sighed softly when he said this, remembering that it was thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness the King of Yue that he and Princess Chunyang were married.
Now sixteen years have passed, everything has changed, and it is inevitable that there will be a feeling like a world away. feeling.
"Your mother has been the closest to His Highness the King of Yue since she was a child.

The deep relationship between brother and sister is beyond your imagination.
Since the King of Yue left, I don't want to mention it.
How could your mother be willing to mention this sad thing?"
Zuo Yuan Feng said calmly.
"Even so, what does the Gu insect key have to do with the emperor?"
Deng Si'er suddenly felt very reluctant to have anyone mention his biological father, the King of Yue, and wanted to change the subject with some annoyance.
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng glanced at Deng Si'er in surprise.
Although he didn't understand why Deng Si'er behaved like this, he changed his tone and said: "The Gu insect key you are carrying was given to the King of Yue by the Emperor."
"A gift from the emperor," Deng Si'er asked.
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded and continued: "Exactly, you probably don't know that among the princes of the late emperor, the current emperor, who is the second prince, is the least favored one.
Because of this, the other princes are not close relatives of our emperor, and this His Royal Highness the King of Yue, our Emperor’s third younger brother, is the most favored and the most shining prince.”
Zuo Yuanfeng paused and continued: "The third prince was granted the title of prince when he was still underage.
After he came of age, he became famous both in the court and in the army.
His talent as the King of Yue made all the princes at that time do it.
Envy, but nothing can compare to it.”
"In that case, why is the King of Yue?"
Zuo Chi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked with a puzzled frown.
In this case, the King of Yue has firmly established himself as the crown prince.
Why does he still want to rebel and seize the throne?
"Are the three kings rebelling?"
Zuo Yuanfeng smiled bitterly when he heard this and said slowly: "At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Yue was full of expectations.
Who would have thought that such an outstanding person would turn into a traitor?"
"Father, you didn't even know what happened back then."
Zuo Chi suddenly understood something and asked in surprise.
Zuo Yuanfeng nodded helplessly, fell back gently, leaned on the back of the large chair, closed his eyes slightly and said: "That's right, I was on my way back from patrolling the border at that time.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the capital, I would be ordered to seize the Yue King's troops."
"Ah, I really want to hear what Wu Jue said about this."
Upon hearing this, Deng Si'er immediately remembered what Wu Jue had said to him, so he asked again: "General, what happened back then?"
"What's going on?"
Zuo Yuanfeng's eyes suddenly opened, but he said with a sad expression:
"Ask me what's going on.
Even if you asked all the people in the capital when the Three Kings' Rebellion broke out, they probably wouldn't be able to answer your question."
Deng Si'er heard this and asked in disbelief: "How come no one knows about it":
