Chapter Eighty-Nine: Qiu Lin's True Identity
Only the emperor, who had not yet fully drunk, frowned after hearing this, and he still had a little conscious consciousness and clearly told him that there must be a story between this prince of Qi and his precious sister.
Didn't he also say "my princess of Qi".
His gaze went back and forth between the two of them several times, and suddenly something came back to his mind.
When Yasukuni came to envoy that year, the prince of Qi kept staring at Qiu Lin at the state banquet, and Qiu Lin was also drunk and left the table early for the first time.
In retrospect, it should be that King Qi and Qiu Lin knew each other in the first place, and even had a very close relationship, he may have recognized Qiu Lin, and Qiu Lin stumbling away was more like an act of escape.
But there is a question, if this King of Qi recognized Qiu Lin's true identity, then why is it so vague?
It gives people the feeling of looking at flowers in the fog, and it is not real to see it in a hazy way.
The emperor tentatively asked, "Lord Qi, who is your princess?" Which high-ranking official's daughter is it? ”
Wen Qixiao was already drunk and delirious, and when he saw that someone asked about his princess, he glanced at Qiu Lin, naturally pulled her over, and said, "This is the princess of this king!" The only concubine of Prime Minister Chaoliu. ”
"Hahaha...... She's yours, princess? ”
"You're not mistaken, are you?"
King Yiling and King Xiaoling thought he was joking.
The only people present were King Yiling and King Xiaoling, who were the most uncaring about the court, so they didn't know some secrets of other countries, and thought that Wen Qixiao had recognized the wrong person.
But the emperor, the king of Wei and Zheng Yang are always paying attention to the changes in the world, and naturally they know who Prime Minister Liu is in Wen Qixiao's mouth.
Six generations of the Liu family have dedicated themselves to serving Yasukuni and died, and they are the backbone of Yasukuni, but they did not expect that they would be killed more than ten years ago, and no one survived.
This incident once caused a sensation on the entire continent, after all, it was such a big thing for such a powerful and loyal family to disappear, and the royal families and courts of all countries had to be in a hurry, and at the same time they all secretly celebrated the death of this powerful opponent.
Since the demise of the Liu family, this Yasukuni has begun to decline, and domestic problems have frequently emerged, which shows how important the Liu family is to Yasukuni.
As soon as he heard that they didn't believe it, Qiu Lin was dissatisfied again, and hurriedly defended: "It's true! I am the princess of Qi! It was his wife who was carried into the Qi Palace's mansion with eight sedan chairs! "I was so anxious that I straightened my big tongue and spoke normally.
After Qiu Lin's defense, everyone froze at this time, especially the emperor, Zheng Yang and Su Yun, their drinking spirit was suddenly awakened a lot, especially Su Yun's face was a lot whiter, and the three of them looked at each other.
Going around and around, Qiu Lin turned out to be the princess of King Qi of Yasukuni, this amount of information is too much, and several of them can't accept it at once, and now their heads are still groggy, and they can't get through these things if they want to.
The emperor simply decided that everyone should go back to their rooms to rest first, and then get to know each other slowly when they were well rested.
Everyone got up and walked to the small courtyard where they were resting, because everyone else lived in the inner courtyard and was the same way, only Wen Qixiao lived in the outer courtyard, so he should have taken another way, but now he was holding Qiu Lin's hand, unconscious and subconsciously following her.
The emperor stopped suddenly, and Zheng Yang stopped when he saw him.
The emperor gave him a look, and he understood, pulled Wen Qixiao, and said, "Brother Wen, you are wrong!" The yard where you live is not in this direction, but on the other side. ”
Wen Qi showed a puzzled expression in a daze, and before he could speak, Qiu Lin answered first: "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zheng Yang pulled her over and coaxed her very patiently and softly: "Qiu Lin, be good!" Come, big brother help you back, Brother Wen, he is going back to his own yard to rest. ”
Qiu Lin brushed off Zheng Yang's hand holding her arm, and said very dissatisfied: "Demolish the husband and wife, the sky is thundering!" ”
Zheng Yang was so angry with her that he held his forehead, look at what she said, you don't know what kind of amazing words a drunk person will say.
Before you find out the truth, if you are heard, you don't know what it will be misunderstood.
He couldn't do anything to this little drunkard now, and he couldn't let her continue to mess around, lest he make more and bigger things.
I had to continue to coax her: "Good girl! Brother Wen is drunk and wants to go back and have a good rest. Big brother will send you back to your yard, and when you wake up tomorrow, you will play with Brother Wen. ”
No matter how Zheng Yang persuaded him, Qiu Lin just refused to let go, and he must be with Wen Qixiao.
The two people who were both drunk and delirious took care of themselves and held hands but ignored others, and in the end, the emperor's face was not very good, so Zheng Yang sent them back to Qiulin's courtyard.
Zheng Yang took a lot of effort, with the assistance of the maids and maids in her yard, and finally coaxed Qiu Lin back to her room to sleep, and arranged Wen Qixiao to rest in the west wing.
He stood in the courtyard and looked at the doors that had been closed, and was finally relieved.
After such a toss, he was almost awake from his drinking.
He sighed, shook his head, and went back to his yard.
Early the next morning, Zheng Yang, Su Yun and King Wei didn't sleep well all night because of the news that Wen Qixiao and Qiu Lin accidentally revealed yesterday in a drunken state, and came to the courtyard where the emperor lived early.
The four of them sat on chairs in the side room, all with solemn expressions on their faces.
King Wei said: "Thirteen years ago, it was rumored that someone anonymously reported that the Liu family collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the Emperor Yasukuni believed this rumor and sent people to surround Liufu to arrest people.
The officials who went to arrest people came back and replied that the Liu family refused to surrender to the law and resisted fiercely, so they had to forcibly arrest them, but the Liu family saw that the enemy could not be defeated by the officers and soldiers, so they broke off on their own.
Later, as the aunt of the Liu family, the prince of Qi rushed back from the frontier, he rushed back to save the Liu family, but he was still a step late, not only the Liu family was wiped out, but even his beloved concubine disappeared, and the soldiers who escorted her were wiped out halfway. ”
Su Yun continued: "The place where I saved Qiu Lin back then was the closest way back to their imperial city, and judging from Qiu Lin's dress, it was indeed not a low status.
On the way down the mountain, we did see a few corpses lying on the side of the road, and I also got off the horse to see the corpses, all of which were dressed in night clothes, and I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was an ordinary interception, robbery, etc., so I hurried away with the already unconscious Qiu Lin. ”
"If Qiu Lin is really the daughter of the Liu family, then it makes sense that she would rather pretend to have amnesia than reveal her life experience even though she has no amnesia." The Emperor said.
Then Zheng Yang said: "Later, the King of Qi and several other ministers who did not believe that the Liu family could do treason with the enemy jointly wrote a letter to correct the name of the Liu family, and after the Emperor Yasukuni was angry, he also felt that the Liu family was not such a person, so he ordered a thorough investigation.
As a result, it turned out that the truth was that the Liu family did not and could not do this kind of thing, and it was those ministers who had a holiday with the Liu family who joined forces to frame them, which also involved a prince who was at odds with the King of Qi.
At the same time, it was also found out that on the day when the Liu Mansion was surrounded and the people were arrested, the Liu family did not resist at all, but was killed by the people who rushed in before they could say anything.
From beginning to end, this is a complete unjust case. In order to return the innocence of the Liu family, the emperor can be regarded as an explanation to the government and the people, and he also beheaded the prince and those traitors to show the public.
Since then, the King of Qi seems to have been obsessed with his pregnant Princess Qi, and has always believed that she is still alive in this world. ”
In this way, it is indeed consistent with the situation of Qiu Lin, the same time period, the same interception, the same pregnancy, one is missing, and the other is away from a foreign country.
At this time, King Wei asked a question that he couldn't figure out: "If Qiu Lin is the princess of Qi, and the king of Qi has been looking for her for so many years, then it is impossible for the king of Qi not to recognize her when he meets her again, right?" Then why don't they recognize each other? ”
That's a really good question.
This is also a problem that bothers several of them.
They also can't figure out this problem, if they are really husband and wife, then the two must be able to recognize each other at first sight when they meet again, even if one party's appearance changes slightly, it can't be that both people don't know each other, right?
So where does the problem lie?
All four were silent thinking about the problem.
"That's right! I think I know why. Zheng Yang suddenly said happily.
As soon as the other three heard him say that they knew the reason, they all came to their senses, looked at him curiously, and said hurriedly: "Quick, tell me quickly, why?" ”
Zheng Yang glanced at them, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and said, "It's the identity of the 'Idle King'!" ”
"The identity of the 'Idle King'?!" Several people were muttering, and they didn't react for a while.
"That's right! That's it! Zheng Yang then explained: "Think about it, the princes of our countries are all men, and I have never heard of a queen in any royal family.
And Qiu Lin concealed the identity of the woman, and claimed to be a famous man! I'm afraid that even if King Qi is suspicious when he faces her, he doesn't dare to easily associate it with his princess, right?! ”
"In fact, there is another reason that may make King Qi dare not admit it, Qiu Lin is much taller now than when I first rescued her." At this time, Su Yun said another problem that everyone had never paid attention to, and it was also the most important reason.
