Chapter 225: A Hundred Words and Arguments (Part II)
If it weren't for Shu'er's serious expression, Zhuge would have almost thought that she had just returned to her usual appearance of being good at mischief.
"Your mother is Xiao Yi, the princess of Qi Kingdom, and your father is none other than Liu Ying, the king of Song Huai."
This was probably the most unbelievable thing Zhuge had ever heard in his life.
When he was a child, he asked his stepfather many times who his biological parents were. He didn't even expect his father-in-law to know their names, he just hoped that his father-in-law would tell him what he knew. But the answer given to him by his father-in-law was always the same, always blank, and never traceable.
So from childhood to adulthood, Zhuge calmly felt that he was an orphan. He never even wondered why his parents had left him alone, because he preferred to believe that they had just lost him than left him on the side of the street. It's just that if you lose it, it's forgivable. He didn't blame them, because he met the best father-in-law in the whole world, Zhuge Escape.
His stepfather never hid his background from him. He couldn't remember when he knew that his father-in-law was the sister-in-law of King Wei Bei and Jiang Ji, the crown prince of Wei Guo. It was as if he had known about it for as long as he could remember. He felt that since his stepfather could tell him such a secret thing, he would not hide anything from him. If the father-in-law knew about his background, he would have told him honestly. So the stepfather didn't tell him, it was only because the stepfather didn't know about it.
He never questioned his stepfather. In his heart, his father-in-law worked hard to bring him up, taught him to read and write, taught him martial arts and swordsmanship, took him to travel around the world, and even took him to Tianmang Mountain outside the pass. He knew that his stepfather played the dual role of father and mother, with both the sternness of his father and the patience of his mother. Before he met Shu'er, the most trusted and closest person in his life was his father-in-law.
But at this moment, Shu'er told him that his mother was the princess of Qi who had a marriage contract with his father-in-law, and his father was King Song Huai...... King Wu of Song destroyed Weiguo, slaughtered several cities, killed all the royal relatives of Weiguo, and even his father-in-law almost died in Dongyang. King Song Huai is the son of King Wu of Song, and he is a person who has a deep blood feud with his father-in-law and the country of Wei. And Xiao Yi, the princess of Qi State, married King Song Huai, betrayed the marriage alliance of Qi Wei, and was ruined.
Zhuge calmly looked directly into Shu'er's eyes and asked, "Where did you hear about this?" Why did you tell me a few months ago that your biological mother was the princess of Qi, but now you say that the princess of Qi is actually my biological mother? You told me at the time that you didn't know who your biological father was, because the princess of Qi was the first dancing concubine of Chen before marrying King Song Huai, and she also eloped with a man from Chu State, so the child she was pregnant with was not necessarily King Song Huai's. Why do you tell me now that the child of the princess of Qi must be King Song Huai's? ”
Shu'er also looked directly at Zhuge calmly, and said: "This matter is what Lin Long, the ninth princess of Chu State, Lin Meiren of King Song Huai, and Concubine Lin, who died in the Song Palace a few days ago, told me personally. She was my birth mother, not my adoptive mother. She won't lie to me, and I won't lie to you. ”
Zhuge frowned calmly and said, "Concubine Lin of the Song Palace is not your adoptive mother?" She's your real mother? Then why did you tell me she was your adoptive mother in the first place? ”
Shu'er sighed: "This matter is a long story. But to cut a long story short, she didn't tell me when I was a kid. This time, my brother rescued me from the prison and returned to the White Jade Palace, and I met my mother, and she told me my true background. ”
Zhuge calmly chuckled in his heart, like falling off a cliff: "Shu'er...... Who is your father? ”
Shu'er wanted to be honest, but when she saw Zhuge calmly and suddenly turned white, she thought of her father and younger brother again, and couldn't help but feel a little naughty in her heart as before. She knew that Zhuge was probably thinking badly. She rolled her eyes, curled the corners of her mouth, and said, "My father, you know him very well." ”
Zhuge was calmly stunned and speechless, and he didn't know why Shu'er suddenly smiled brightly.
Shu'er pursed her lips and smiled, "My father, you have seen it, and you have seen it more than once. ”
Zhuge calmly frowned and thought about it, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I haven't met King Song Huai, so King Song Huai is not your father." ”
Shu'er's eyes were shining. "And guess who my father is?"
Zhuge thought calmly and seriously, and said as he thought, "Your father...... I know him well? He must have known the ninth princess of Chu back then...... And it's not enough to just know each other, but also to be able to capture the heart of the most favored little princess of Chu back then...... He should have been in love with the ninth princess of Chu before she married King Song Huai...... So he must be a man who grew up in Chudi. ”
Zhuge calmly said in surprise: "Is it the father-in-law?" ”
Shu'er sneered, couldn't help but swipe his fingers over Zhuge calmly frowned, and said, "Why do you always think badly?" Could it be that what I am saying is too misleading? ”
Zhuge calmly wondered: "Not a father-in-law?" Even an outstanding man like your father-in-law can't capture your mother's heart, who else in the world can? ”
Shu'er shook her head and prompted, "In addition to your father-in-law, which outstanding man do you know well?" And, more acquainted with his 'outstanding' son? ”
Zhuge calmly couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Lord Dongfang! The first strategist of the Chu State, the military advisor of King Sheng, and the Lord of the East! Is he your father? ”
Shu'er nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly." That hairy little Dongfang who has always admired you and worshiped you, he is my brother of the same father and mother. ”
Zhuge calmly shook Shu'er's hand and said, "So, I thought I was marrying the princess of Qi, but I didn't expect that I was actually marrying the princess of Chu?" Moreover, I have known her family for a long time? ”
Shu'er said: "Yes, what you married is the bloodline of the Lin clan of the Chu State, not the Xiao clan of the Qi State." You yourself are the bloodline of the Xiao clan of Qi State. Although your parents are no longer alive, you are not an orphan, and you have the most noble blood in-laws in Kyushu. You have the bloodline of both the Xiao clan of the Qi State and the Liu clan of the Song Kingdom, and your stepfather is also a descendant of the Jiang clan of the Wei Kingdom. Your first lady is the princess of Chu State, the richest man in Chen State, the princess of Xiling, and the righteous daughter of the lord of Qi State. ”
Although Zhuge calmly listened to what Shu'er said, the last sentence made his heart sink. He frowned and said, "What do you mean by ...... 'your first lady'?" Shu'er, I, Zhuge calmly in this life and this life, will only marry you alone! If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! I don't care who I am, and I don't care who you are, what a princess of Raushzi! I promised you, after Qi Wei returned to the country, I would stand up to you in the world, how could I marry someone else? ”
Shu'er shook his head and said calmly: "Those oaths, those promises, were all told to me by 'Zhuge calmly'. Now, there is no longer such a person as 'Zhuge calmly' between heaven and earth. Your real name is 'Liu Ying', your biological father is called 'Liu Ying', and your half-brother is called 'Liu Jing'. You are such a noble person, why do you give up royal power and wealth to stand by and wander the world? What's more, royal power and wealth have long flowed in your blood. ”
Zhuge sighed calmly and said, "Shu'er, it's late at night, let's rest first." Tomorrow, I will ask my father-in-law, and you can talk about whether there is such a person as 'Zhuge calmly' between heaven and earth. ”
Shu'er said, "You can go and ask your father-in-law." My mother told me that it was my father-in-law who took you out of the White Jade Palace. He knows everything about your background. The half-moon-shaped birthmark on your waist is clearly remembered by the doctor who delivered Xiao Niangniang back then. That doctor is my mother-in-law, Lu's mother-in-law, and she is also my midwife. ”
That night, Zhuge calmly hugged Shu'er from behind. The two of them could smell their breath, but they had their own thoughts.
Zhuge calmly listened to Shu'er's breathing gradually steady, obviously falling asleep. But his thoughts suddenly waved—
Excuse me, not to mention whether what you told me is true or not, why do you want to tell me about it at this time? Who are you who came out of Song Guotian Prison? Why did you want to change your background to mine?
Although the country has been restored, the country of Qi has not yet been restored.
If I am the son of King Song Huai and the princess of Qi, how can I justifiably lead my troops to attack the jade capital of Song Kingdom?
Apart from you, my only relative, my most trusted relative, is my stepfather. But you tell me now that my stepfather has deceived me for more than 20 years, and that my stepfather has a blood feud with my 'biological father'......
You once told me that you are the princess of Qi.
You said to me today that you are the princess of Chu.
But, actually, you ......
Could it be that she has always been the princess of the Song Kingdom?
Although I don't want to think so, I have been familiar with military books under the teaching of my father-in-law since I was a child, and I know that many times, the truth is not important. What matters is the timing of the truth.
As a husband and wife, I don't want to or bear to have any doubts about you.
But now, my father-in-law has ascended the throne, and I am the first-class prince of the country, and I am the general Xiaoyi who will lead the troops to return sooner or later.
