Chapter 274 Follow me back to China
Yan Zifu was strangled by Yan Xiaoyi's neck, but there was no tension or discomfort in his eyes, and he even curled the corners of his mouth: "What are you doing so excited, I didn't say I wouldn't tell you." ”
Yan Xiaowei glanced at him, and loosened the fingers that twisted his neckline: "Then say it quickly!" ”
Yan Zifu glanced at her funny, with an expression of "what are you anxious about", but without Yan Xiaoyi's second urging, he opened his mouth and said: "Although you were only found by the Liu family in the early summer of this year, the time you stayed in the Yan Mansion is not long, and it is not short." You should have heard a little about some rumors about Yan Mansion, right? ”
Yan Xiaowei frowned: "Who are you, and how do you know about me?" ”
Yan Zifu blinked, his expression did not change at all: "Who am I and how do I know all this, you will know all this after listening to my words." However, these are put aside for now. I just ask you, have you heard some rumors about the Yan Mansion? ”
Yan Xiaowei wasn't sure if he had something to say, or if he was probably using words to trick her, so she kept quiet and didn't plan to take the bait.
only glanced at him lightly: "What do you mean?" ”
Yan Zifu tilted his head, and his eyes were slightly deeper: "For example, Aunt Liu is actually almost eighty percent similar to your biological mother, He Xixin He's family?" ”
What is this? Yan Xiaowei wrinkled her eyebrows.
It seems that on the first day she entered Yan's Mansion, she had heard Ya Xiang say that Aunt Liu was similar to He Xixin, but one was a dusty woman, and the other had passed away for nearly sixteen or seventeen years, and there was no comparison, so Yan Xiaowei was just listening to it at that time, and she forgot about it.
However, now that it has been brought up again by Yan Zifu, Yan Xiaoyi's heart can't help but sink.
Could it be that Aunt Liu and the He family have some unknown relationship?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows.
"What the hell do you want to say, don't ramble, say half and leave half."
Yan Zifu's eyes were gloomy, and his expression was slightly restrained compared to before, this was the first time he showed a serious color after meeting her this time.
"This matter has to start from more than forty years ago, when Baili Ying, the monarch of Baili Country, had just ascended the throne, and thousands of miles away, the Yuling Emperor of our Kwai Kingdom had only been in power for ten years."
He spoke without a moment's pause. But Yan Xiaowei obviously noticed that when he was talking about Kwai Kingdom, he used the word "we", which also implied Yan Xiaoyi's guess.
Her heart sank slightly, but Yan Zifu didn't pay attention, or it can be said that he didn't want to hide anything deliberately.
"Although Emperor Yuling was on the throne for ten years at that time, because Emperor Huolie did not abdicate until he was seventy years old, Emperor Yuling was nearly half a hundred years old at that time."
Although Yan Xiaowei has also read the local chronicles of the continent where she is now, she knows very little about other countries other than where she lives, and she is even less clear about the events of Kwai Country nearly half a century ago.
Yan Zifu went around such a big circle to tell the story, there must be his intentions, Yan Xiaowei knew that he couldn't interject, so he listened quietly next to him.
"Emperor Yuling's harem has hundreds of beauties, but the heirs under him are thin, and he has spent decades with Queen Lin, but he has no heirs. Only Concubine Ling gave birth to a prince when the emperor was forty-nine years old, which is now the king of our Kwai country. ”
For Mei Yongqing, the monarch of the current Kwai Kingdom, Yan Xiaowei doesn't know much. However, I also heard that after he ascended the throne, he took advantage of the island country of Kwai to establish a sea bazaar, specializing in the circulation and turnover of goods from neighboring countries. Aoi Province, a small country, has gradually developed into an indispensable transportation hub and cargo distribution center in the Kyushu continent today.
However, what does all this have to do with Aunt Liu?
Perhaps seeing the question in Yan Xiaoyi's mind, Yan Zifu finally got to the point.
"In fact, as early as that year, that is, when Emperor Yuling was ten years old, the first emperor and a concubine named Su Banxia in the harem had two daughters. However, when the two children were just born, they were quietly sent out of the palace by a confidant under Queen Lin at that time, and they were missing. After that, he blocked the news that Su Banxia gave birth to a daughter and poisoned her. It wasn't until more than ten years ago that Empress Lin attempted to poison the emperor who was the eldest prince at the time, which led to this incident that year. ”
Yan Xiaoyan frowned: "That Queen Lin, why is she like this!" ”
Yan Zifu's expression was faint: "There are many women in the harem, and mutual suspicion and intrigue are always inevitable. Empress Lin is the head of the harem, but she has no heirs, and seeing that the concubines around her who are lower in rank than her have children and daughters, her heart must be very unbalanced, and she is even more worried that the phoenix seal in her hand will change hands one day, so it is very possible to attack other people who can threaten her status. ”
"However", Yan Zifu glanced at her: "Empress Lin has been executed by the former emperor for many years, and there is no need to discuss this matter again." I mentioned this to you because, one of the two girls sent away by Queen Lin's henchmen back then was Aunt Liu, and the other, you should know who it was, right? ”
Yan Xiaoyi's eyes widened in twilight, and she couldn't close her mouth because she was surprised: "You don't mean to say that the other person is actually my mother, right?" ”
"That's right!"
Yan Zifu looked at her faintly, and said a fluttering word, but it seemed to have dropped a boulder in Yan Xiaoyi's calm world!
Looking at Yan Xiaoyi's incredulous expression, Yan Zifu paused, and then said: "Although your mother and Aunt Liu were born to compatriots, they were sent to different places. This is why your mother was born in a small family, but Aunt Liu is in the dust. Over the years, the emperor has followed the edict of the emperor and has been looking for two princesses, but it is a coincidence that when he found your Yan family at the beginning of the year, he found that your mother and Aunt Liu actually married a person one after another, I don't know if it is the so-called fate. ”
"It's just a coincidence", Yan Zifu's eyes darkened: "When I found them, your mother had passed away for many years, but Aunt Liu was not willing to follow us back to Kwai Kingdom." ”
Speaking of which, Yan Xiaowei has almost figured out the cause and effect of this incident.
She frowned: "Then Aunt Liu suddenly said goodbye some time ago, did she finally return to your Kwai Kingdom?" ”
Yan Zifu shook his head: "Although she is unwilling to return to Kwai Kingdom, she is the princess of Kwai Country after all." In the beginning, we only secretly deployed people to protect her. However, a few months ago, she suddenly told us that she was leaving Yan's mansion...... You know the rest of the story. ”
Yan Xiaoyi's brows tightened: "But, why?" Didn't you say that Aunt Liu didn't promise to go back to Kwai with you at the beginning? Later, why did you change your mind again? ”
Yan Zifu lowered his eyes: "This, I want you to ask her in person." ”
Yan Xiaowei pursed her lips: "So, you have approached me several times because I am my mother's daughter?" But what is it? ”
As she spoke, she lifted her wrist, which was the bracelet he had forced her on last time. As time passed, the two shades of red inside seemed to be darker.
"Also, what kind of Gu did you put on me? It is said that it will have a seizure in 7749 days! Yan Xiaowei gritted her teeth.
Yan Zifu clasped his hands on his shoulders: "Do your own calculations, how many days have it been since I last saw you?" ”
Yan Xiaowei bit her lip, unconsciously clenched her hands, and her heart sank.
It's been forty-eight days!
Yan Zifu raised his eyebrows: "You only know that the Rong family is in the Baili Dynasty and has a unique status." However, do you know that our Yan family is in Kwai Country, and their status is unmatched! In each generation, the Mei family must marry the Yan family in order to consolidate the inseparable relationship between the Mei and Yan families. In our generation, you are the only girl in the Mei family! And it just so happens that I am the only man in the Yan family! ”
Yan Xiaowei raised her head suddenly: "What do you mean ......?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was naturally interrupted by Yan Zifu.
"We have to get married!"
He looked at her, his eyes flickering.
"Last time, I approached you just to see if you were a child of the Mei family. After all, you were also a homeless child. However, when I saw the eyebrows and eyes similar to you and He Xixin, I was basically sure that you were the person I was looking for, and you were the exiled county lord of Kwai Kingdom! ”
"Of course," he said, lowering his arms and hanging down at his sides. was already a head and a half taller than Yan Xiaoyi's body, and he stood straight.
He stared at her with burning eyes: "After all, you are the one who wants to spend your life together, and I also want to know what kind of person you are." In fact, after two contacts, I was satisfied. This bracelet in your hand condenses my blood and your blood, and it is a token of the engagement of the two Mei Yan families for generations. So, it stands to reason that you and I were already in effect when this bracelet was on your hand. Also, the Gu on your body, I will help you untie it. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's wrist and traced his warm fingertips back and forth on the bracelet.
His eyebrows sank, he tilted his head, and stared at her tightly: "I have only one request, that is, I must return to Kwai Country with me." ”
As if her hands had been burned, Yan Xiaowei pulled back her wrist and hid behind her.
She took a few steps back and shook her head firmly: "Impossible, I won't go back with you!" ”
She raised her head and stared at him for a moment: "You said that I am the exiled county lord, and you also said that the Yan family and the Mei family married or something, but who can prove that what you said is true?" Even if it's true, but I grew up in Baili, and I have long regarded myself as a Baili person, why do I have to go back with you? ”
"Again", she clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were extraordinarily bright: "A long time ago, I married Rong Xiu, in this life, I will not marry him!" ”
