In the middle of the night, there was a shadow in Xiao Tiange, looking at the figure, it was naturally Zhu Ying, but she actually took a half-transparent silk scarf and covered her entire face.

"Let's go......"

The voice was a little hoarse, Azu knew that this was not a place to talk, but he followed Zhu Ying.

After going around for a long time, I finally found a pavilion where no one was around, and then sat down.

"You're going to get married, and you can still go out of the boudoir at will?"

Azu laughed, but Zhu Ying didn't want to play with him: "Even you think so?"

Shaking his head, he didn't dare to tease her.

"What are you doing with this scarf?"

"......" Zhu Ying was silent for a while, but she only said one word. "Ugly ......"

"Oh. Azu was stunned, but just answered and asked again. "How ugly is it, let me see?"

Zhu Ying's silver teeth bited: "Don't give it." ”

Azu naturally knew that Zhu Ying should be too sad, so she cried her face and cried hoarsely, so she brought this silk scarf so as not to look ugly.

"Oh. ”

“......”

“......”

Both of them were silent, and for a long time, Zhu Ying spoke.

"You said you could help me, how do you help?"

Azu thought about it, his help was actually to make Zhu Ying feel relieved - because King Wen would rebel, if King Wen rebelled, Zhu Ying would not go to kiss, and he would not be able to resist the decree.

Only, how to say this...... Zhu Ying didn't know what King Wen was going to oppose, in a sense, this matter was even more unacceptable than that of the relatives......

If it was her biological mother's business, it would be even more difficult to say.

hesitated, but saw that Zhu Ying had already put away the silk scarf and showed her sad face. Actually, it's not very ugly, but the eyes are a little red and swollen.

Heqin, let such a beautiful girl lose her beauty......

"Have you ever thought about your mother's ......?"

Zhu Ying was stunned, but she didn't know why Azu said this off-topic. After being surprised, he replied: "I want to ......"

"Do you want to see what your mother looks like?"

Zhu Ying's heart moved, and she saw that Azu was already serious.

"Want to ......"

"I've seen ......"

The girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Azu, who didn't look like she was lying: "Where is it?"

"From King Yan......" Azu said slowly.

"Uncle, have you seen him?!" Zhu Ying's tone changed, but he was surprised.

Azu didn't care about her question: "There is a portrait of King Yan...... The portrait is very similar to yours, but it is older...... I was also shocked at the time, thinking that it was you, but then King Yan told me that it was his deceased wife......"

"You mean...... But the uncle has no heirs......"

"That's a rumor, I've seen him, you've seen him, do you really think he's from Longyang?"

The young man's eyes were firm, as if he was convinced.

"If you don't believe it, then do you know your mother's name?"

Zhu Ying shook her head. Her father never mentioned it, and at the time of the Qingming Festival, on the tombstone, it was also nameless, but only the wife of King Wen was written.

Azu continued: "Then do you know the name of your eldest aunt?"

Zhu Ying was stunned, and her thoughts lingered - that name had been buried deep for so long, and along with the spurning of the royal family, she was hidden in the corner with King Yan.

The two of them exited at the same time, but they said in unison: "Yin Zhu!"

Azu nodded, and stared at Zhu Ying's face again: "And you, called Zhu Ying......"

Zhu Ying was shocked, she had never thought of this......

Yin Zhu ...... Zhu Ying...... Although it is divided into light accents, the sound in it is self-evident.

Is that really the case......

The eldest aunt is her own biological mother...... And the uncle turned out to be his biological father...... The person of Longyang, who has always been despised by the royal family, the king of Frontier Yan who guards the border pass, is actually his biological father!

He has always regarded him as Long Yang, although he has never been estranged, but he has never been close......

The look of shock in his eyes had not yet faded, but there was a trace of remorse.

"King Yan is definitely not Longyang, but he was named Longyang and took away his imperial throne alive......"

"Why do you think you're here in Changlin instead of the Frontier Palace...... That's because King Yan has been coerced in some way, and he can only recognize the name of this Longyang, so he will let you become the daughter of King Wen!"

Zhu Ying couldn't speak, but she heard Azu continue to confide.

"With the identity of the daughter of King Wen, you will naturally not be spurned again, but this also makes it impossible for King Yan's name of Longyang to be washed away...... I think every time he meets you, he wants to recognize you......"

Zhu Ying remembered the uncle's meek words and expressions every time they met, and now it seems that it was a father's love that she had never felt...... In King Wen, she felt sternness and kindness, but she was never able to experience the feeling of fatherly love......

Tears paved the surface, Zhu Ying was speechless, and every word of Azu made her sad even more.

finally finished the narrative, but Azu didn't care about Zhu Ying's tears.

"Don't you want to recognize him......"

"Think...... Naturally, I want to ......" Zhu Ying spoke, and her hoarse voice was crying. "But how do I say it, how can I solve his unspeakable secrets......

"Go to King Wen, naturally everything is clear......"

Azu's words made Zhu Ying change her mind, and finally nodded.

"But...... Even if this matter is resolved, I still have to ...... with my relatives."

Azu shook his head: "Haven't you thought about cause and effect?"

"Your father is not Longyang, the throne should have been his, and things like harmony should be established by the imperial power, so how can it be the turn of others to decide...... If you don't go, you won't be able to resist the ......."

"But the matter has come to this, the second uncle is already the emperor......" Zhu Yingxu suddenly realized it and widened her eyes. "You mean ......"

"King Wen wants to rebel. The four eyes met, but Azu's face did not change.

Zhu Ying looked around, fortunately there was no one, and patted her chest, if the words just now were spread, it would be overturned.

"How do you know?"

"Can't you see that? King Wen is at odds with Emperor Nahao, do you think it's just not angry?"

The young man in front of him, from dialectic to analysis, is clear and comprehensive, but his face is unwavering, as if he is talking about some trivial things, but if he really hears what he says, he will sigh at the changes.

"But ......"

"If you don't believe me, then you should ask King Wen...... Since he respects your father and treats you as his own, when he really can't hide it, he will naturally say. ”

The young man's voice was so calm that Zhu Ying was a little unfamiliar - although she had not known Azu for many days, it was the first time she felt Azu's calmness.

Calm to the point of being terrifying, how could this be a nine-year-old boy?

Whether it was that intelligence or this state of mind, it made her feel strange and wonderful.

"You...... It's really a carver invited by the fifth uncle......"

Zhu Ying asked in disbelief, but quietly, she had changed her title.

Azu shook his head and sighed: "Half Moon together, I also thought I was a carver...... But it wasn't until I came to this long forest that I realized that I was just a chess piece......"

"Chess Piece......" Zhu Ying muttered and repeated, this young man seemed to have an unknown past, far more mysterious than he had told before.

"Yes, a chess piece, born for the benefit of the family, although it can be discarded......"

"I had already accepted it, but before I could, I realized that I was more than a pawn...... I am the turbulent ...... in the center of this rebellion."

Azu spoke slowly, his eyes flashing with a torrent of turbulence.

"You're saying you're going to be part of this rebellion?"

"It's not that I want to, but King Wen wants me to participate...... I came to this Changlin only for the sake of that Tong's carving, and I never thought of getting involved in this dispute......"

"Maybe you don't know my feelings for Tong's carving, but Zhu Ying, if you were me, how would you choose......

"If I quit, I will die myself, and the Tong carving art will be destroyed......"

"But if I participate, the rebellion is defeated, and the Tong family, as the first royal enterprise, will bear the brunt, and the Tong carving art will still be destroyed......"

"If the rebellion wins, the Tong family will prosper, but the future of Tong's carving art is still unknown......"

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

Zhu Ying looked at the young man in front of her, this kind of choice may not be able to be made by ordinary people in a lifetime......

"I ...... I do not know...... If you talk to the fifth uncle, what will you do......"

Azu shook his head: "He has been your father for thirteen years, and he treats you as his own daughter, although he doesn't have the truth of that father and daughter, he won't let you know his true face......

"True face...... Zhu Ying tasted these words, but she saw the coldness in Azu's eyes.

"Do you really think he is a virtuous king who is dedicated to politics? If so, then he will not rebel......"

"Zhu Ying, since you have already believed that he is your fifth uncle and not your father, what if I want to kill him?"

The word "kill" bites very hard, but it is a deep-seated hatred for King Nawen.

Zhu Ying's eyes were amazed, she felt the cold and piercing from this nine-year-old boy, it was a suffocating feeling, which made people shudder. After fixing his mind, he asked, "Because he threatened Tong's carving art and involved you in this rebellion?"

Azu shook his head again: "In this Changlin Palace, no one dares to be disrespectful to you." Do you know why?"

"Because you are the lord of the county, you are born noble! All the people of the royal family, you don't have to test for fame, you don't have to work for life, you are born to be a human being, as long as you move your mouth and stretch out your hand, those who are enslaved will circle around you. You may have never done such a thing, but in this great Ming, every day I don't know how many people die in vain because of the master's words. ”

The young man narrated slowly, but he was talking about the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty, in a sense, from the beginning of that reign, this sorrow was forever engraved in the world.

"Don't you know what King Wen did? You have also said that King Wen punished and executed him for something, but have you ever thought of those who were punished and put to death? Their deaths are sometimes merely a small mistake or an unintentional remark, or a catastrophe is suffered?

"What would you do if you knew that there were 200 teenagers imprisoned in the deer park?"

"If you know that the Dading of the Tianzi Palace was cooked by a teenager, what would you do?"

"If you know, Gonggong Hai did his best, but he was given death by King Wen......"

"How do you make me not want to kill him?"

The boy's voice was hoarse and flawed. What has been suppressed for so long is the deepest emotion.

Zhu Ying's eyes widened, and every word of Azu was pressed on her heart......

After that, there was silence......

"Let's go to him......"
