Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mystery of His Origin Solved
"I've seen Your Highness. Qing Ling clasped his fists and saluted, "Although I expected that His Highness's personality and deep affection for the girl might come here in person, His Highness's presence here still made his subordinates feel very surprised. His Royal Highness must have known that the girl was trapped here, not only because Mi Zi wanted to trap her, but also because he wanted to use this to attract His Highness. ”
"Hongu knows. Liu Xu was dressed in black, his face looked a little tired because of the overnight journey, he raised his eyes slightly, and was silent for a while, "In addition to the girl's matter, this palace has other purposes for coming here." Qingling, you carefully explain the matter of the birth sacrifice again. ”
"Good. Qing Ling told Liu Xu what happened that day in more detail.
"Mulan's remaining forces are bigger than I thought. Liu Xu pinched his temples, "These people are scattered all over the place, and they all have a lot of power, they may not be able to compete with the empire of Northern Xia for the time being, but if something happens, such as Southern Chu and Western Wei joining forces to attack Northern Xia, then these people will be troublesome." They are so scattered that it takes some effort and time to completely eradicate them, which is unrealistic. ”
"Yes. Qing Ling nodded, "Although these people still need to be attached to Nan Chu, if they join forces, it will indeed bring us a lot of trouble." It's just that his subordinates don't understand, why does Qi Muxuan have to put the girl to death?"
Liu Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "I came here this time to solve this matter. Qing Yue, go and check, Qi Muxuan is still nearby, if he is still around, I want to talk to him. If he doesn't want to see him, tell him that I have his sister's whereabouts. ”
"Yes. ”
"Your Highness, what do I need to do now?" Qing Ling asked.
"Just keep the girl safe. Liu Xu said, "If I didn't guess wrong, Mi Zi would come here in a few days." ”
"Yes. ”
The sun was still shining, Mo Ziyu yawned tiredly, and asked, "What other programs are there in the future?"
Cai Jing hugged his fists and said: "I prepared a small song for the girl in Qingfang Building!"
"No, I'm tired, I'm going back to rest. Mo Ziyu said, "But I can't live up to Lord Cai's kindness, so good, let the person who sings the little song go to your house, and listen to it after I wake up." ”
"Yes, the lower official will arrange it. Cai Jing didn't wait for the person he wanted to wait for, shook his head in disappointment, and after giving Hao Ding a look, he went home.
Mo Ziyu stayed in the sedan chair for a while, she opened the curtain and called, "Lord Cai?"
Cai Jing immediately got off the horse and asked, "What do you command?"
"Why did you let me come out today to relax? Since it was a distraction, why are there so many people around here? Are you afraid that I will run away or do you have some other purpose?" Mo Ziyu asked with a smile.
Cai Jing was surprised, raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes a few times, thinking to herself Isn't this girl blind, how can she know that there are many people in ambush around here?
"The girl thinks too much, where is there anyone around here?"
Mo Ziyu smiled slightly, nodded his ears, and said: "They may be well hidden, but they can't hide it from my ears, the footsteps of so many people can't deceive people." ”
"This is to protect the girl's safety!" Cai Jing smiled awkwardly, "Mulan's people are thieves, we are here just in case." ”
Mo Ziyu didn't ask anything more, put down the curtain, and her intuition told her that Cai Jing was afraid that she would lose it, and if it wasn't for other plans, he would definitely not take her out of Cai's mansion.
The bamboo leaves of the bamboo forest are verdant, and a melodious piano sound is ethereal.
"Qi Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but the elegance is still the same. Liu Xu smiled slightly.
"I admire Your Highness very much, you dare to really come here, don't you know that Mi Zi hates you more than me?" Qi Muxuan poured a cup of tea, "Is His Highness really able to sacrifice his life and forget his life for Jiang Liu, or do you underestimate Mi Zi's means?"
"I don't forget to die for Jiang Liushe, and I don't look down on the means of Qi Zi. Liu Xu said lightly, "I came to you today, and I really have something to talk about." ”
Qi Muxuan's expression became a little nervous, and he frowned slightly: "What do you mean by sending someone to pass the word? How do you know my sister's whereabouts?"
"It's a coincidence. Liu Xu said, "I used to think about not telling others about this, but now it seems that if I don't say it again, I'm afraid that you will regret it for life." ”
"Will I regret it for the rest of my life?" Qi Muxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness may wish to explain clearly, what clues do you know about my sister and what quid pro quo is required?"
"I don't need any quid pro quo. Liu Xu said, "Your sister is far away in front of you, and Jiang Liu is the sister she has been looking for." ”
Qi Muxuan's movements stiffened, the cup of tea spilled out, and the corners of his mouth slowly sneered: "How is it possible that you are fooling me?"
"At first, I thought she was acting suspiciously, so I sent someone to investigate. Liu Xu said, "I found out that when she was a baby, she was taken to Beixiamei Village by a woman dressed as Mulan, and then lived with the Jiang family." The woman who brought her to Plum Village died when she was eight years old, and since then she has become a native of Northern Xia. When there was a famine in Meicun, she came to the capital alone and became a maid in the Qi Palace, and from beginning to end, she knew nothing about her life experience. ”
"Just because of that, you can say that she is my sister?" Qi Muxuan snorted, "Does Your Highness only think that I am as easy to deceive as a child?"
Qi Muxuan said this, but he already believed most of it in his heart, and the news he recently got was that his sister was taken away by the queen's personal maid, and this maid is likely to end up in Mulan's Plum Village.
"This can only show that she may be from Mulan. Since her identity is a mystery, I naturally have to find out her background. Liu Xu said, "After the Mulan woman died, the things on her body were almost taken away by the people in the village, but there was one thing that was kept. ”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden plaque from his sleeve, which looked to be some years old, and was carved with delicate patterns and the words of Magnolia.
Qi Muxuan's eyes suddenly widened, snatched the wooden card, looked at it carefully, and his hands trembled a little: "This is...... This is my sister's life card. ”
"Your Mulan tradition is that after every child is born, his father will personally carve a wooden plaque for him, on which is engraved the family emblem, as well as his name and the time of birth. Liu Xu said, "This is given to me by the old lady of the Jiang family, and the others are still in the capital, if you have any doubts in your heart, you can ask." The woman came to Meicun with the child, eye-catching, after the woman died, Jiang's father was too sad, so someone took advantage of the fire to rob and came to their house to rob things, they felt that the wooden sign was useless, so they discarded it and was picked up by him. ”
After a pause, Liu Xu said again: "There is one last piece of evidence, there is a thumb-sized red birthmark under the butterfly bone on Jiang Liu's back. ”
Qi Muxuan closed his eyes, he held the wooden card in his hand and punched the table.
This action startled the matchmaker not far away, she flew over and hurriedly asked, "Young master, are you okay?"
Qi Muxuan's face turned pale, and his upper lip trembled and said, "She's my sister, she's really my sister!"
The matchmaker was overjoyed and asked, "The princess has found it, where is the princess?" and her subordinates will pick her up. ”
"Jiang Liu. Qi Muxuan closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Jiang Liu is the sister I have been looking for for so long." I thought about it day and night, I dreamed of finding her, finding my only relative, but I didn't think that she would have already appeared by my side. ”
"What! how could it be her!" The matchmaker's face turned pale, "We almost ......"
Several times, I almost killed her!
Liu Xu stared at Qi Muxuan for a while, and said, "You know everything now, what about the antidote?"
Qi Muxuan stared at the table and did not speak.
"Jiang Liu's eyes are blind, what is the antidote?" Liu Xu asked coldly, "Do you want her to remain blind like this?"
"No!" Qi Muxuan's expression suddenly became furious, "There is no antidote! I know that her medical skills are good, how can I give her a poison that can be cured? I have never had an antidote in the beginning!"
He took a few steps back, stared at his hands with annoyance and regret, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh my God, what have I done! I have almost killed my sister several times, and I almost burned my sister to death! I have blinded her now, what am I doing? What have I done!"
"There is no antidote, what does it mean that there is no antidote?" Liu Xu kicked the table away, ran to Qi Muxuan in a few steps, grabbed his collar, "You make it clear, what is called no antidote!"
"No antidote is no antidote!" Qi Muxuan said.
"Bastard!" Liu Xu punched him hard, "She's your sister!"
"You're a bastard!" Qi Muxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and punched Liu Xu with his backhand, "If you had told me earlier, everything would not have happened in the future, and you would be to blame for all this!"
"I want to protect the fact that she is Princess Mulan, in order to protect her, do I want her to wander around like you?" Liu Xu roared, "If it weren't for the fact that she was unpleasant everywhere and was an enemy of her everywhere, how could things have come to this point?"
The two men blamed each other and scuffled.
The matchmaker stomped her feet anxiously and shouted: "Don't fight, even if you kill the other party, you can't save the princess now!
