Chapter 201: Searching for the Truth
After falling asleep, Qiyun often dreams of a familiar scene, the sky is full of snow-white pear blossoms, and in a daze, there is a man under the tree, standing there with his back to her. The figure stood against the light, strong and vast, as if there were five colors of brilliance around him. He turned around, she couldn't see his face clearly, she saw his hand reaching out to her, and at that moment she cried......
She woke up from her dream, her face was cold, she wiped it with her fingertips, and she really cried.
Qiyun knew that she had lost her memory, that there was no past, that there were no familiar people, and that the only thing that made her feel at ease was the two signs in her arms. She didn't know who she was, and suddenly it occurred to her that there were always people in the world who knew her. She doesn't know where the two signs came from, and she wants someone who knows the pattern and origin to tell the truth.
As a result, Qiyun ordered the palace people to make a large number of kites with a chrysanthemum pattern in the morning shadow and release them outside the palace. The silk with the morning shadow pattern woven by the supervisor of her order was torn by the people of her palace, and the cost was huge, but Helian Ding pampered and indulged her.
She knew that everything she had to rely on the most powerful king of the Xia Kingdom, and she had to rely on his power and favor, and the bigger the momentum, the better.
She used her concubine ceremony to trick King Xia Helian into making a big fire for her. However, she wants to surprise everyone, including Helianding. She hadn't found out the truth yet, and she didn't want to really drag down and destroy his Xia Kingdom.
Helian lit a beacon fire for her according to his words, and the ministers dissuaded her bitterly, looked at her sideways, and sneered in her heart.
When something ignited in the sky above the beacon, the sharp-eyed people found that it was not wolf smoke that was ignited, but colorful fireworks rising into the air, and a little flower rain fell in the air.
At that moment, the ministers were all stunned, and in disbelief they forgot the proper etiquette, and rushed forward one after another, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. The thick black wolf smoke did not rise, and the fireworks rushed to rise into the sky and bloomed, blooming colorful morning shadows, bright and gorgeous.
Helian turned his head and looked at her in amazement, his eyes full of doubts and inquiries.
Qiyun curtsied and said, "The king loves his concubines so much, how can the concubines take military, political and state affairs as child's play?" At the last moment, the concubine ordered fireworks to be exchanged for wolf smoke that was about to be lit. Today, the people who tried their best to dissuade the king in the main hall were loyal ministers and good generals, and they put the rivers and mountains of the Xia Kingdom before their own lives. Whether the ministers are flattering or loyal, the king can now distinguish between the true and the false. ”
Helian was stunned for a moment, stroked his palms and laughed: "What Concubine Ai said is very reasonable. The ancients played the princes with beacon fire, but now the concubine uses the beacon fire wolf smoke to distinguish loyalty and treachery. It's a brilliant plan, it's wonderful. With that, he turned around with his hands in his hands, swept his eyes like a sharp blade over those ministers one by one, and said coldly: "Today's matter, those who are bold and direct will be promoted to the third level. As for the sycophants...... Today is the day of great joy for Concubine Qing, and I don't want to see blood splashed on the spot. Therefore, I don't care about the rest, and I hope you will do it yourself. ”
The ministers all over the ground immediately felt a chill, and they all bowed down, kowtowed, and shouted long live throughout the hall.
On the second day, Pingliang City of Xia Kingdom spread all over the Qing concubines, and it was not the local princes who played, but the Manchu civil and military generals. For a while, there were many discussions, some said that the concubine was charming and capricious, and some said that the appearance was unparalleled.
The young lord of the Xia Kingdom is bloodthirsty and warlike, has a very high prestige in the army, and his methods are ruthless and ruthless. The ministers were originally trembling when they served King Xia, and the concubines around King Xia seemed to be even more scheming, so that they acted more and more like walking on thin ice.
On the day of the concubine, Qiyun saw many courtiers and envoys. Among them, Lu Yin, the owner of the cloud boat, gave her the feeling of being so familiar, and the silk and poems that Lu Yin gave her seemed to refer to something.
Qiyun knows that the revelation of the truth may not be far away. She secretly learned from the palace maid Fang Yao who served her, and noticed a slight discrepancy with what Helian Ding said to her, and seemed to inadvertently inquire about Helian Ding's past. Helian replied calmly, but the dodge in his eyes did not escape hers.
On the second day, Fang Yao was pulled out of her tongue and imprisoned in the Forced Labor Division, which deepened her doubts, what was Helian Ding hiding?
After a few days, Qiyun finally found an opportunity to visit Fang Yao in the Forced Labor Division, and by the way, she inquired about the past of Zi Mengqing, another woman who was close to her. It's just that Zi Mengqing has some grudges and entanglements with herself, which makes Qiyun even more confused.
Inadvertently, when she passed by the Imperial Garden, she heard Helianchang, who was the king of Qin of Wei, persuading Helianding to surrender, and after Helianding left, Qiyun appeared in front of Helianchang. The moment he saw her silver-haired, Helian Chang's face changed greatly, and after regaining his composure and identifying her identity, he took out a spirit fox jade pendant from his arms and put it in her hand.
When the jade pendant was held in the palm of her hand, the touch was so familiar, as if it had been accompanying her and communicating with her. Under her careful questioning, Helian Chang told her that the owner of this jade pendant was the young emperor Tuoba Tao of Wei, and he had been wearing it on the body of Feng Qiyun, the princess of Zhuohua.
"Tuobatao, Feng Qiyun, Princess Zhuohua......" she muttered.
It turned out that Liu Yizhen sent people to investigate around Pingliang and learned that Helian Ding had a mysterious favorite concubine, who released kites with morning shadow patterns from the palace from time to time. In order to satisfy her special hobby, Helian Ding ordered the young eunuch to purchase objects with the morning shadow pattern everywhere, and the people vibrated and the tea shops in the market were boiling.
Yizhen deepened his suspicions, took the initiative to purchase a large number of items needed by the Qing concubine, and was invited to participate in the ceremony banquet of the Qing concubine's promotion as the son of Lu Yin, the owner of the Yunfang boat.
Yizhen saw Helianding's Qing Concubine with his own eyes, she and Qiyun have the same country-like appearance and ice and snow bones, the same clear eyes, only a silver hair is different. Yizhen handed her the red plum silk with his own hands, and after looking forward to talking, he realized that she didn't know herself at all.
Is she Princess Feng Qiyun of Zhuohua?
Yizhen was worried that Helian Ding would find out his identity, so he hurriedly left Pingliang and went to the battlefield in Henan to meet Tuoba Tao, who was fighting against the Song army. Tuoba Tao listened to what he said and what he was worried about, thought about it for a while, and ordered Helianchang, the third brother of Helianding, the king of Qin, to come. Tuoba Tao sent Helian Chang to Pingliang, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, while persuading Helian Ding to surrender, while secretly paying attention to the woman who looked the same as Princess Feng Qiyun of Zhuohua, if he saw Concubine Yuehua Qing, he handed her the Linghu jade pendant.
The Linghu Jade Pendant is their love token, and Tuoba Tao believes that if Concubine Yuehua Qing is really Qiyun, she will know when she sees the Jade Pendant. With her wisdom and relying on Helianding's favor, she will be able to make a move.
At the same time, Tuoba Tao adjusted his operational deployment, actively planning the battle against the Song army, and on the other hand, he ordered people to infiltrate Pingliang in the Xia Kingdom and carefully probe Helianding's movements.
