Chapter 973: Telling the Truth

Luo Zhaoyun walked out of Murong Ziyan's palace with a bit of melancholy, mixed with some parting in his heart.

Back then, he led his troops to pacify Tuyuhun, and got acquainted with this princess of Tuyuhun.

However, Murong Ziyan's identity is special, and she shoulders a tribal mission, if she loses her support, Tuyuhun is likely to be divided by the Western Regions, Tubo and other tribes and become slaves, and this nation may also fade out of the historical stage and disappear from then on.

With Luo Zhaoyun's idea, he temporarily supported Murong Ziyan's decision, kept Tuyuhun, and when the time was ripe in the future, Tuyuhun was included in the territory of the Central Plains, and this ethnic group and cultural customs were retained, but they only nominally belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty, so that they could not only keep themselves, but also continue to reproduce.

This is this idea, Luo Zhaoyun is not easy to say, lest Murong Ziyan be distracted, thinking that he is the same as Tubo, he wants to annex Tuyuhun, and then treat her people as slaves.

Not only Tuyuhun, but also the Tubo people and the people of the Western Regions, Luo Zhaoyun also thought that they could be incorporated into the Central Plains Dynasty in the future, improve their people's livelihood, education, and medical conditions, get close to the Central Plains culture, and at the same time weaken their military strength, lest in the future when there is a change of dynasty and a period of weakness in the Central Plains, these foreign races will take the opportunity to invade and divide the Central Plains.

The Five Hu Chaos, the An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, and the invasion of the Central Plains by the Jin people and Mongols during the Song and Song dynasties are the most intuitive examples. It is necessary to let the people who are dependent on them in various places have clothes and food, learn more about the culture of the Central Plains, and weaken the barbaric customs, so that they can truly integrate and prosper.

When they came to the dormitory where Dou Hongxian was located, the palace maids inside received the news and all knelt down to greet the holy driver.

After Luo Zhaoyun asked the palace maids to get up, they waited in the palace, and he was the only one in the palace who talked to Dou Hongxian.

"How is your health recently, are you uncomfortable, I heard several concubines say that the two or three months after pregnancy are unstable periods, and there will be a great reaction, you should pay more attention to your body, what you like to eat, you can tell the cook in the imperial dining room to make something you like to eat." Luo Zhaoyun spoke softly, pulled Dou Hongxian and sat down, with a sincere and concerned face.

Dou Hongxian can really feel that these words are by no means hypocritical, but naturally revealed, and the true feelings are really about her body and the child in her womb.

Sometimes, she is full of confusion about her situation, from wanting revenge at the beginning, to gradually diluting grievances, and turning to thinking about escaping, but she can't escape, but she is pregnant, this series of changes makes Dou Hongxian feel helpless and anxious, and whether the child is left is also a factor that she often falls into contradictions.

"What's the matter, Concubine Wu, why are you staring at me?" Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, seeing that she was a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Dou Hongxian hesitated, not knowing whether to confide in her heart, but she was afraid that if she said it, after Luo Zhaoyun knew about it, she would alienate her, and even enter the cold palace and take away the child in her womb.

"Is there something unspeakable that you want to tell me?" Luo Zhaoyun's expression was calm, and his eyes were a little encouraging.

In fact, he didn't want this secret to be hidden like this between the two of them, and with mustard, many topics needed to be avoided, and he couldn't really communicate sincerely.

The grievances of her elders, if they can be resolved in time, will be a relief and release for Luo Zhaoyun and Dou Hongxian.

After all, fighting the world and fighting for territory, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat, the winner is the prince and the loser Kou, Dou Jiande died on the battlefield, and the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, all of which are national battles, and have nothing to do with personal enmity, so Luo Zhaoyun can calmly face Dou Jiande's daughter.

If it is replaced by Li Xiuning, then the situation is different, every time Luo Zhaoyun sees her, he feels a little guilty in his heart, after all, Luo Zhaoyun once had a good relationship with the Li family, but for the sake of the final cause, the two biggest obstacles were removed, both of which were Li Xiuning's brothers.

"Concubine...... The concubine didn't know how to speak. Dou Hongxian's eyes were dodgy, restless, and she looked a little anxious, after all, the crime of bullying the king can be big or small, she gradually adapted to life here, and had each other's flesh and blood, Dou Hongxian was also a little afraid of losing everything like this. Because in the whole world, she has nostalgic places to go, nostalgic places.

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold her plain hand, and found that the palms of his hands were beads of sweat, afraid that her cranky thoughts would affect the fetus and mental state, and he thought that this matter should be solved earlier, so he comforted: "Concubine Ai, since you entered the palace and went on the dragon couch, you have been my Luo Zhaoyun's wife, although from time to time the identity of the wife of an ordinary family, but she is also my woman, there is no doubt about it." Through these days, I am relatively satisfied with your conduct, words and deeds, etc. However, it seems that Concubine Ai has something on her mind, and she always feels that she is often distracted, as if she wants to cover herself with a thick cocoon, isolate herself from it, and don't want people to read it through. ”

"Your Majesty......" Dou Hongxian heard him so patiently comforting, his words were sincere, and the protection in his heart was also disintegrating little by little.

"Say it, whatever it is, I'm in charge of it!" Luo Zhaoyun stared at Dou Hongxian's eyes, gave her a firm look, and asked her to speak boldly.

Maybe this psychological suggestion has worked, or after Dou Hongxian heard Luo Zhaoyun's comfort, the psychological defense line was broken, his eyes turned red, he knelt directly on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty, the concubine is ...... The concubine is not surnamed Wu, nor is she called Wu Xiaoai, this identity is impersonated by me. Who is my real identity...... She is the daughter of Dou Jiande, the leader of the princes of Hebei, named Dou Hongxian, pretending to enter the palace, originally wanted to be unfavorable to His Majesty, but these days, after seeing His Majesty himself, he has gradually changed his original intention, and he has no resentment, and he planned to find an opportunity to leave, but he was a little difficult to give up. caught up and was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as pregnant, the concubine was physically and mentally restless, her heart was tormented, she didn't want to hide it anymore, she made mistakes again and again, no matter how His Majesty punished the concubine, there was no complaint......"

Luo Zhaoyun calmly listened to her remarks, and the last trace of vigilance and mustard in his heart was also released, and he was still a little happy, so that they could disclose their identities to each other and really communicate, without having to cover it up from time to time, but it was conducive to one heart and one mind and deepening the relationship.

However, Luo Zhaoyun couldn't react without a reaction at this time, that would also be suspicious, so he pretended to know and was surprised, his expression changed, and his eyes looked at Dou Hongxian.

"Please punish ...... Your Majesty" The red line knelt on the ground and cried, constantly admitting his mistakes.

Luo Zhaoyun was silent for a moment, grabbed her arm with both hands, and said, "Get up, as long as you admit that you are still my concubine, I will also deal with it as appropriate." Although you are indeed suspected of bullying the king, but this matter, there are still many details that need to be scrutinized and understood, we open our hearts, and we will talk about it here today, the real identity, and you, what you think at the moment......"
