"He's Yuanqi." After listening to my description of the incident that night, Gong Li gently spit out four words, and then after I asked in every possible way, he opened his mouth to explain, "You guessed right, he and Yuwen Zheng were twins, and I just heard the master mention it, saying that it was a taboo for Feng Yi, so Yuan Qi, who was born later than Yu Wen Zheng, has been raised outside the palace since he was a child, and I am afraid that Yu Wen Zheng found him after Feng Yu lost his life." You have to be careful of him, he is different from Yu Wenzheng, he is an extremely conceited and unscrupulous person. ”

"Did I really have a holiday with him?" I don't have much hope for Gong Li, he will definitely not explain the things I don't remember as they are, but right now, this threat called Yuan Qi is in front of us, I really don't know if he is friend or foe.

"In Xiyi." Gong Li let out a long sigh and got up to close the window. "Yuan Qi pretended to be Prince Yuwen and wanted to join forces with the regent of Xiyi to usurp the throne of Xiyi, but you helped Wei Xiao, so Yuan Qi failed. But I think he should know that even without you, the real Yu Wenzheng has already calculated a qiē, waiting for him to jump into the trap by himself, and you, but you are also being used by Yu Wenzheng. ”

And I, however, was also used by Yu Wenzheng. This is the least surprising thing for me, but when I hear it from others, I still feel less comfortable. "I used to think that I knew enough about the person named Yuan Ying, but later, he became Yu Wenzheng. It seems that everything has changed, and since I returned to Dongfu, I am only willing to admit that he is Yu Wenzheng, and it seems that I will only call him Yuan Ying when I recall those that seemed to be good at first. But now, Yuan Ying and Yu Wenzheng, I seem to be getting more and more confused. ”

I got to know him more and more, but I didn't know which one was the real him.

"What's next?" Gong Li interrupted me loudly, as if on purpose, "You said you were looking for someone, but Beishao is so big, where do you plan to start, you can't paint a picture like the streets and ask." ”

I couldn't help but laugh, "If I knew what she looked like, I would really want to paint a picture all over the street, but I have never seen her." ”

I've never seen the woman who gave birth to me.

Now it was Gong Li's turn to be dumbfounded, "Since you don't know what she looks like, how can you find her?" ”

"Rest early, and we'll go out into the streets tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Wei said that someone had seen her in Beishao, and the people who had seen her must know her, and Empress Dowager Wei had never seen her, and those who had seen her could bring the news to Empress Dowager Wei, that must be the old man of the Fu family in the past, and the person who still followed the Fu family after the troubled times to set up Dongfu, this person must be in the court, and there are many former ministers in the Dongfu Dynasty, and they are highly commended as the founding fathers of Dongfu. Dongfu and Beishao have never had any contact since the founding of the country, repeated wars, if the minister of Dongfu wants to see a person in Beishao, probably only the lord of Zhaohua was imprisoned in the Shao Palace, and Fu Ang was a vassal to Beishao, and he was enshrined every year.

What can be imagined now is that only Dongfu Chongchen saw her when he went to Shao Palace to pay tribute.

It is unlikely that the ministers who go to Beishao to pay tribute will not travel more in Beishao, so it is only possible on the way back and forth, and after arriving at the capital of Beishao, it is possible to go back and forth in the palace and Shao Palace.

I really hope that person met her on the way from the palace to the Shao palace. But since she will report to Empress Dowager Wei privately after returning home, it must be because there are reasons why she has to report, and the simplest of these is that she is in Shao Palace, and she will threaten Dongfu.

If that's the case, what would I do if I found her?

Beishao is one of the most powerful countries in the four countries, located in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, the mountains are steep, and the wind is prone to drought. It is reported that the cultivated land in Beishao is limited, as far as it can be regarded as self-sufficient, it is the legendary Prince Yuwen, with the unique topography of Beishao, to encourage the people of Beishao to plant extremely rare and precious medicinal materials on the cliffs in the mountains, hunt fierce beasts in the mountains, mainly trade with other dignitaries of the three kingdoms based on animal skins and bones, breed rare and exotic beasts, Niyun brocade that is more expensive than gold, is a kind of rare neon silkworm unique to Beishao and weaved, this Niyun brocade has a particularly small annual output, but it is a rare and superb in brocade, Only the Beishao royal family is eligible to have it. There are a total of nine gold mines in the four countries, and two of the ones that are now owned by Beishao were plundered by war.

I once saw such a record in a secret file of the Fu Palace, the founding emperor of Beishao, Yuwen Chenqi, was originally a general of Feng Yi, loyal but was framed by traitors and ended up guarding the border, Feng was killed, the Three Kingdoms rose one after another, General Yuwen saw that Feng Yi was hopeless, and took a group of old departments dedicated to the previous dynasty to establish Beishao. Therefore, the customs and habits of Beishao are inherited from the Fengyi, and it is the only country among the four countries that continues to this day with the old system of Fengzhi.

Although it was the second time I came to Beishao, it was the first time to walk on the street of Beishao, the capital of Beishao, and the last time I came here, I was still unconscious, Yu Wenzheng stabbed me in the chest, and let me survive, and when everyone thought I was dead, under his arrangement, I was secretly sent to the Shao Palace and imprisoned for two years.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

A group of guards pushed themselves behind and scattered the crowd, stopping the people on the street to both sides of the road, and a carriage decorated with precious brocade drove unhurriedly.

As I drove past me, the man in the carriage lifted the curtain and glanced out, then put it down.

"It turned out to be the eldest son of Prime Minister Gao's family, no wonder the trip is so imposing."

It was this rare glimpse that some people recognized the people in the carriage.

The eldest son of Prime Minister Gao's family? "Gong Li, you say, how many prime ministers are there in this Beishao?"

Gong Li didn't understand what I meant, but looked at me hesitantly, and then watched the carriage just drive in front of us. The guards did not let him go, and after a while, another carriage passed, and unlike the carriage of the prime minister's son, this one moved faster, as if he did not care about the world outside the car, and hurriedly disappeared from everyone's eyes, and the guards dispersed, but did not follow the second carriage.

"Did you just see that?" I asked Gong Li.

"Hmm." Gong Li nodded. "This is not the way back to the Princess's Mansion."

The carriage was moving quite fast just now, even though the people sitting in the carriage were not publicized, but the wind lifted the curtain by a corner, and in a short moment, Gong Li and I both saw that the person sitting in the carriage was the horse master.

"Check it out." I waved him to follow, followed the trail left by the carriage, and chased after him. After chasing at least three streets and passing through six alleys, I finally saw the carriage that the master had just ridden in front of a very remote house on the outskirts of the city, and I asked Gong Li, "Guess where this is." ”

Gong Li looked around and didn't answer me directly. "What do you think?"

Suddenly, I saw the door of the house open, and I pulled Gong Li to hide behind the wall and continued to watch quietly. First, a woman poked her head out, looking left and right with great caution, and then when she was sure that there was no one around, she opened the door, and it was the horse master who came out behind her.

The woman looked like she was in her early twenties, her face was pretty, and when she came out, she had a belly holding up, and she looked like she had been pregnant for several months, and it was not very convenient to move.

The colt turned around and led her down the steps of the house, "Go in, I'll come back to see you and the child when I have time." You have to be careful, tell Mama Wu if you have anything, she knows how to pass the word to me. If there's anything else you want, I'll bring it to you next time. ”

"Hmm." The woman looked very obedient and nodded, but she tugged at his sleeve and wouldn't let go.

"Be obedient, you take care of it, I'll be back soon." The horse master coaxed her, and the eyebrows were very ambiguous. He took the woman into his arms, patted her on the shoulder, as if to reassure her, then let go and got into the carriage, and the coachman drove away in surprise.

Gong Li and I froze in place, a little surprised by what we had just seen. Gong Li came back to his senses first, "Will you inform the eldest princess about this?" ”

"Chewing on people's tongues and gossiping behind other people's backs is the act of ignorant women and children." The eldest princess and I are not related, even if I found out that the concubine had another private house hiding a woman, I told her in a solemn manner, but it only made her suspicious and caused some unnecessary trouble for herself, but now, I don't understand, I thought that the concubine was deeply affectionate to the eldest princess, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing outside.

"What do you think?" Gong Li asked again.

"I'm more curious about the truth. Do you think the eldest princess really didn't know about this? Who arranged the man in black outside the city? I glanced at him with interest, "If it weren't for the purpose of my trip, I'm afraid I would really want to find out, but now I have more important things, Yu Wenzheng won't give me time, and I'll come back when I've figured everything out." ”

It's just that if you know something, you can take precautions first.

"Let's go back. We've been out for too long, so we don't have to be suspicious. Gong Li was not obsessed with the truth, he turned around to leave after speaking.

I turned around and looked at his back as he was leaving. "You don't seem surprised by these things, unless, you knew about them in the morning. If the purpose of following me to Beishao is to prevent me from knowing something, then you will definitely lose in the end. ”

He stopped in front of me, didn't turn around, he lowered his head with his back to me, held it for a while, and then continued on his way.

"You're going to lose." I just thought it was funny and deliberately emphasized it to him.

When did it start, and why did these people around me become so mysterious? My impression of Gong Li is only from the first murder case in Dongfu Xinggong, and before that, he was just an apprentice brought by Gong Yu with him, and he knew that there was such a person, and how much he knew about me, I'm afraid it was not simple. It's just that judging from his words and deeds these days, he should be temporary, and he will not be an enemy.

But when did I really know him, how much did he know, what he said owed me, what did he owe me? I don't have a clue right now. I only feel that Gong Li is not only inexplicable, but also a little deliberately high-minded, but what is certain is that he and Yu Wenzheng are the kind of people, they just want me to know what they let me know, and for what they don't want me to know, they will deliberately cover up the past. I really don't know, I brought Gong Li here, right or wrong.

"What are you thinking?" The eldest princess waved her hand, and brought me back to my senses, she was just talking energetically, but I was thinking about it to myself, but she didn't seem to blame, she just smiled, and there was no deep meaning, "Why, are you embarrassed to say." Seeing that you are also of marriageable age, Yang Shangshu heard that Bengong said that you saved Bengong outside the city, and he appreciated you very much, and intended to introduce his youngest daughter to you. ”

I was stunned, it turned out that what she said just now was actually this.

"What's wrong? Do you have a girl you like? "The eldest princess may have seen my strange expression, and she will be mistaken, thinking that my hesitation is because my heart belongs.

This, how to say. "In the early years, there were changes in the family, and the elders of my clan gradually became estranged, and there was no one to make arrangements for me, and then I traveled alone between countries, but I felt that there was nothing wrong with a person, so I didn't care much about marriage."

"I see. It's pathetic. The eldest princess's eyebrows were suddenly dyed with a touch of gloom, and her eyes were very distressed, so she couldn't help but take my hand and comfort, "How can such a good child have such a bumpy life experience." If your parents were here, how gratifying they would be to see you like this today, a talented young hero. ”

Could it be, my adoptive father is in a deep prison and his life and death are uncertain, my own father was forced to die in anger by me, my adoptive mother has never said a word to me, and my own mother now doesn't know where people are, will they feel relieved because of me?

"Don't worry, you are the life-saving benefactor of this palace, and this palace can talk to you like this, your marriage is better arranged for you by this palace, you can also settle down in Beishao, live a good life in the future, and do not continue to be displaced." Although she has a heart, but as soon as these words came out, it scared me into a cold sweat.

"My aunt bothered so much about other people's marriages, but she had checked the identity of this unknown boy, if she dared to be a matchmaker for the daughter of Lord Yang's family, if she delayed others, wouldn't she be complained about." Yuan Qi, the fake prince, appeared just right, but the words were not so comfortable to hear, standing beside the eldest princess, his eyebrows shrugged.

"Che'er is like this, why are you so unreasonable." The eldest princess pretended to be angry and blamed, "Why did you have time to run here today." ”

"I met my uncle in front of the court today, and asked me to play chess." He's calm.

"Then you should go to your uncle, don't make trouble again." The eldest princess pushed him out, turned around and came back, shook her head with a helpless smile, and said to me, "Don't blame him, although Zheng'er didn't grow up around this palace, he is very close to this palace, he is different from Che'er, and he is not as stubborn as he pretends to be on his face." Bengong once thought that it would be difficult for him to get out of the shadow of the county lord of Zhaohua in this life, but now that he and Miss Gao are not bad, I can be regarded as relieved. ”

"Lord Zhaohua?" I suddenly throbbed violently in my heart, and then forced down the churning surge and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Is it because of the county lord's suicide?" ”

The eldest princess nodded, "Yes, at that time, the palace was not in the court, and I went to the temple to recuperate because of my physical illness, and I heard it mentioned later, when the palace just learned that Zheng'er actually imprisoned people in the Shao Palace, it was also very surprised, the prince who has always been steady and decent is so ridiculous for the first time." Before that incident, although Zheng'er was raised by the imperial concubine outside the court, he always took time to visit the palace every month, and he often mentioned the matter with the county lord, and only at that time did the palace feel that he was really happy. However, suddenly he interrupted, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and when he returned to the court, he realized that he had forced people to death, because of this, Zheng'er was depressed for a long time, and the whole person has changed, and he no longer gives people a feeling of closeness and warmth like before, although he is smiling, Bengong feels that he is very far away from Bengong. ”

I could hear the heartbeat in my chest, once, twice, getting heavier and heavier, the sound of the beating filling my ears, hearing any other sound, the vision in front of me blurred several times, but I could only endure it. "That's why you asked me those words when we first met."

"Since you are from Dongfu, this palace thinks that you may have seen the county lord of Zhaohua, and I can't believe it when I hear that she has come back from the dead." The eldest princess once again mentioned the matter about the county lord.

"She's the county lord." I hesitated, how to say it, I could only sigh secretly, "I was rescued by Dongfu Guoshi Gong Yu and picked up a life, although she survived, but a few days ago, because of the marriage between Dongfu and Nancheng, she married the emperor of Nancheng, and returned to Nancheng with him." ”

"How so?" The eldest princess was angry when she heard this, and she shook her head very incomprehensibly, "I also think that there may be a continuation of the relationship between her and Zheng'er, but I didn't expect that things are wrong, and she has already married Emperor Nancheng." ”

"Eldest princess, seeing that you are not in a good mood now, then I will go out first." I withdrew from the room, suppressed the strangeness in my heart, and continued to walk on as if nothing had happened, until there was no one around, and suddenly my legs went limp, but fortunately I held on to the wall, otherwise I would have been even more wolf now.

"It seems that the eldest princess told you about Yuan Ying." Yuan Qi didn't know when he started following me, and it wasn't until he spoke up that I realized he was behind me.
