Chapter 280: Chi Chi's Identity
"My identity?" Zhong Chi was confused, "What is my identity?" β
Isn't she the orphan girl Yang Yuemian picked up on the way back to Yongshan after losing Chi Yiyi?
Li Changye looked at her with faint eyes, and one hand went around behind her, and gently touched her backβ
Tattoo?
"Do you still remember the assassination of the Yun brothers on April 20?" He asked in a low voice.
Zhong Chi frowned and thought about it, and suddenly widened his eyes: "The former dynasty is a dead man!" β
She remembered!
After the assassination of the Yun brothers, Li Changye asked people to track down the assassins, and found a group of dead soldiers of the former dynasty with special marks on their bodies.
Could it be that those dead soldiers also have green lotus tattoos on their bodies?
And what about her......
Zhong Chi subconsciously touched his back, but only touched his hand, which he gently held.
"It can't be regarded as a dead soldier-" She reacted so quickly, Li Changye was inexplicably a little honored, and bent his eyes happily, "That's a secret guard raised by the emperor of the previous dynasty, and they only obeyed the orders of the previous Great Zhou Emperors, but the marks on their bodies are not Chi'er's beautiful Qinglian tattoos-" He kissed the tip of her nose with a smile, "Those secret guards I caught last time have the mark on their bodies is a black bat!" β
"And my tattooβ" Zhong couldn't help but ask.
"At first, I only thought that the location and size were too similar, so I said that I needed to check it, not that I didn't mean not to tell you." He explained in a cheerful voice.
Zhong Chi Chi didn't have time to listen to his explanation at this time, so he hurriedly asked, "Then what did you find?" β
He smiled and took out her hand from behind his back, brought it to his lips and kissed it, and asked rhetorically, "On the seventeenth day, have you seen Ouyang Xu?" β
Zhong Chichi immediately reacted: "Did he tell you?" β
Li Changye nodded and said, "That afternoon, Ouyang Xu came to the palace and said that the Qinglian tattoo-"
"He said that the Qinglian tattoo and the Shalian embroidered clothes and belts are both symbols of the status of the leader of the Bat Guard!"
Zhong Chi almost jumped up from the bed: "How come I don't know that I'm still a leader!" β
Li Changye only felt that her fried hair was extremely cute, and pulled her back into his arms with a smile and rubbed her fiercely, before he said: "It is rumored that Sha Lian was born by drinking human blood, and only recognizes one master in her life, which is the expectation and requirement of the Great Zhou Emperor for the Bat Guard, delayed, you don't know, the person who tattooed you and gave you a belt must know!" β
Zhong Chichi frowned and said, "But he didn't tell me, what's the point?" β
Even if she put it bluntly now, she didn't feel that Yang Yuemian treated her as a secret guard or a dead soldier, what he taught her was always how to save her life.
"I didn't tell you, or just didn't have time to tell you-" He kissed her face and said softly, "Ouyang Xu's grandfather was also the leader of the Bat Guard, and he was tattooed because of the traitor, and he lost the qualification to lead the Bat Guard, so it stands to reason that the Bat Guard should have broken up without a leader, but-"
There is no need for him to continue, Zhong Chichi also knows.
The bat guard did not disperse, and also assassinated the Yun brothers, vaguely colluding with the Tibetan witches.
"Ordinary bat guards will only obey the orders of the Great Zhou Emperor or the leader of the bat guards-" He suddenly held her face and looked at her with burning eyes, but his voice was lowered, "Chi Chi, your master Yang Yuemian, or the leader of the bat guards, or, the orphans of the previous dynasty!" β
Zhong looked at him in a daze for a while, and relived what he said in his mind before he found his voice: "Yang Yuemian's age can't be called an orphan......
Li Changye was stunned in confusion.
"Chi Yiyi and I were both raised by him, and forty-two years ago, he also personally spelled Ouyang Xu's grandfather!" Zhong said slowly.
No matter how you count it, Yang Yuemian should be fifty or sixty years old, and when the previous dynasty fell, he was no longer young.
Li Changye pondered for a moment and laughed: "After the fall of the previous week, there is indeed a prince who is missing, originally I suspected that it was your master, but now it seems that Yang Yue is the orphan of the previous dynasty, he knows the existence of the bat guard, so he came to spy on you!" β
"Your master should also be a member of the former Zhou royal family, and after punishing the leader of the rebellious bat guard, he took over the bat guard himself!" After a pause, he said with a smile, "They all want to return to the country!" β
Zhong Chi Chi listened a little distracted.
If the bat guard is in the hands of Yang Yuemian, it just proves the collusion between Yang Yuemian and the Tubo people again, then what happened to her this time may be due to Yang Yuemian.
Apart from Yang Yuemian, who else will know her only weakness?
Just thinking about it, he leaned forward coldly, caged her under him, his eyes were shining, and he chuckled: "Your master accepted such a beautiful apprentice, shouldn't he want to cultivate a demon concubine to seduce me?" β
When he said this, Zhong Chichi actually felt that it made sense......
"Did Your Majesty catch Yang Yue?" Zhong Chi was half pushing and half dodging on the spot.
He said absentmindedly: "No...... He ran ahead of time and chased out a hundred miles to block the ...... Get your news and let Cui Li rush back to ......"
β¦β¦
Perhaps out of guilt, when she came back this time, Li Changye pampered her even harder, except for summoning the ministers, she couldn't wait to guard it all the time.
Zhong Chichi usually doesn't walk around with people very often, but this time the matter was kept strictly hidden, and few people knew about it.
In this way, it seems normal not to see outsiders for three days.
On the third day, an unusual visitor came to visit her.
When the man came, Li Changye happened to be absent, and Zhong Chi was practicing calligraphy in the front hall, and when he heard the voice of the same woman at the bottom of the stairs outside, he walked out.
The woman was beautifully dressed and had a good identity, but she was stopped by Xin Bei at the bottom of the steps, frowning lightly, both angry and helpless.
Xin Bei still had a wooden face, and said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty has an order, Mrs. Zhong has been in poor health recently, and no one should be disturbed!" β
Zhong Chi leaned on the armrest and smiled, and said in a manly voice: "Thank you for me, Your Majesty!" β
Xin Bei turned his head suddenly, a hint of crampedness flashing in his eyes.
Zhong Chi straightened up, looked at the woman, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Liucheng is a rare visit, come in and have a cup of tea!" β
The eldest princess of Liucheng glanced at Xin Bei uneasily, but Xin Bei silently lowered her head, and then she carried her skirt up the stairs.
"What is Your Highness looking for me?" Without waiting for the eldest princess of Liucheng to sit down, Zhong Chi asked directly.
The eldest princess of Liucheng is Li Changye's sister-in-law, she is not married, her mother is not obvious, and she is not favored by the queen mother, so she is very low-key and cautious compared to her two sisters.
Zhong Chi lived in the palace for a long time, and he didn't have much contact with her, and later she took the initiative to move to Taiji Palace with the concubines to serve the Queen Mother, and she didn't have any contact.
It's strange enough that people who don't usually come and go with each other suddenly come to visit and are stopped by Xinbe.
It's just that after the eldest princess of Liucheng sat down, she didn't say anything important, just casually greeted, caring about her body.
Zhong Chi Chi looked at her flickering gaze, and was about to wave back left and right-
"The Holy Driver has arrivedβ"
Under the steps outside the hall, the steps were slightly hurried.
