Shen Liuxiang was pushed and thrown into another tent. Under the dim light, the maidservant saw her. She was overjoyed and was about to shout, but Shen Liuxiang hurriedly stopped her with gestures. She knew that Xiao Yunyan had doubted her from the beginning to the end, and the reason why he let them live alone was simply to confirm his suspicions from the conversation between the two.
Chen Liuxiang's intuition was accurate. Sure enough, at this moment in Xiao Yunyan's tent, Luo Hong knelt on the ground and explained: "Li Xi brought the person back two days ago, and the idea came from my subordinate. I kept looking at His Highness. I feel sad and blame myself for the death of the Crown Prince, thinking that it would be great if someone could relieve His Highness's temporary depression, if they are really sent by King Yi..."
With a "pop", the cup in Xiao Yunyan's hand hit Luo Hong, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course Sixth Brother will not use such clumsy and despicable means to deal with me."
"Then what if they are really from Ning Jun's side? Your Highness just keeps them in custody, so what kind of monsters can they be?"
Xiao Yunyan finally said: "Okay, you will go to Linchuan immediately to find a jade merchant named Shang Lu and ask him about a person named Chen Liuxiang."
Although he was a little embarrassed, Luo Hong didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he said "yes" and fled quickly.
After Luo Hong left, Xiao Yunyan ordered again: "Luo Hu, tomorrow you start from the Ning army captured by Li Xi and find out where the two women came from."
"yes."
Two days have passed, but Chen Liuxiang's master and servant and Xiao Yunyan have always been in harmony with each other. It was not until the night of the third day that the two of them were already asleep, but the guarding soldiers shouted outside: "Miss Shen, His Highness calls you to come over."
"What's the matter so late?" the maid asked.
There were a few weird laughs outside: "What do you think? What else can I do if I call you at night?"
The maid suddenly turned pale, but Shen Liuxiang understood that now that three days had passed, Xiao Yunyan must have found something. She knew that his lust and confusion in front of her were all disguises, and she suspected that she was a spy sent by Ning Jun. He sneered at the corner of his lips, "It doesn't matter, bring me my robe." After combing it for a while, he left the sleeping tent.
Walking into Xiao Yunyan's bed room, she saw Xiao Yunyan wearing only a middle coat, sitting on the edge of the bed, obviously waiting for her. Shen Liuxiang walked in alone and saluted Xiao Yunyan: "I have met Your Highness."
Xiao Yunyan looked at her steadily but said nothing.
Seeing that he was silent, Chen Liuxiang had to ask: "May I ask, Your Highness, if you have found the uncle of the civilian girl?"
"Oh, not yet. It's not easy to find someone in the huge crowd. But don't worry, there will definitely be news in the next two days. Just wait a little longer."
"Then I wonder why His Highness asked the civilian daughter to come?"
Xiao Yunyan pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come here and sit here."
Chen Liuxiang's face instantly turned pale and she stood there without daring to move.
"Still not coming over?"
"Please, Your Highness, let the civilian daughter go."
"Let you go?" Xiao Yunyan walked up to her, pinched her face, and gently raised her head, "Give me a reason to let you go?"
"Ping, Ping Liang Jun has always been strict in running the army. His Highness Ping said that he would never force a woman."
"It is true that I have never forced any woman, but I may make an exception for you today. Don't you want to do the same thing again?" Xiao Yunyan said and suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it to the ground. Then, he picked her up by the waist.
"I beg Your Highness to let the daughter of the common people have a way out. The daughter of the common people bears the blood feud between her father and brother. She once swore that she would kill the person who killed her father and brother with her own hands. I hope that Your Highness will do it and let the daughter of the common people go out."
"You will seek refuge with your relatives one moment, and kill your enemies the next. I really don't know which of you to believe."
Chen Liuxiang quickly explained: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I used to have a lot of servants at home, and I was rich and honorable. However, my uncle coveted my father's family wealth, killed my father and brother, took over my father's inheritance, and even killed some people for his own benefit. I was betrothed to a man who was nearly fifty years old as my concubine. I swore to death that I would not be taken as a concubine and escape on the way to see my bride. Since I had no place to live, I wanted to follow my maid to her uncle's house to rest for a while and then make revenge plans in the future, but I didn't know That day when I passed by, I was robbed here by His Highness's subordinates. I am determined to seek revenge on my uncle, and I hope His Highness will fulfill my wish."
"So you escaped because you refused to become a concubine?"
"My father has always had high hopes for me, so naturally I can't be a concubine."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true, every word is true."
Xiao Yunyan smiled and threw her on the bed, "What if I don't want to help you?"
"As a weak woman, I naturally cannot resist His Highness, but if I lose my innocence, I will naturally not be able to survive in this world."
Xiao Yunyan stared at her, "If you lose your innocence and refuse to live, then won't this bloody feud be unaventable?"
"Since His Highness is determined to imprison me here, how can I take revenge? It would be better to die."
"I am curious. If I had not detained you, how would you have planned to avenge your father and brother?"
"It's true that everything is not easy, but I firmly believe that I will find a way."
"Actually, this matter doesn't have to be so troublesome. You just need to tell me who your uncle is, and I can solve it for you."
"I just want to use my own power to seek revenge against my uncle. How he killed my father back then, I will repay him in the future."
"You are ambitious, but unfortunately you are a woman after all. With just the two of you, it will be harder than reaching the sky. You don't want to take advantage of others, are you worried that if you take back the family property in the future, I will take it for myself?"
Chen Liuxiang refused to reply directly and said: "Your Highness, I hate my uncle with all my heart. This is the reason why I don't want to take advantage of anyone."
"I heard that you were being hunted when my generals met you. Are you sure you can survive until you see your uncle when you leave here?"
Chen Liuxiang was silent for a moment.
Xiao Yunyan stared at her again, "Tell me, what is your uncle's name?"
Shen Liuxiang turned her face away, and Xiao Yunyan pressed forward step by step, pushing her face back with his hands, "What, is your uncle's name secret?"
Chen Liuxiang still closed her mouth tightly.
"Why did you suddenly become mute?"
Seemingly thinking about it for a long time, Shen Liuxiang asked him, "If I tell His Highness the name of my uncle, will Your Highness let me go?"
"Could it be that you want to scare me with your uncle?"
"That's not what I mean, but the person you and I have to deal with may be the same person. If His Highness lets me go, not only will there be no harm to His Highness in the future, but it may be good."
Xiao Yunyan pretended to be surprised, "So I am becoming more and more curious about your uncle. Who is he?"
Chen Liuxiang finally said to him word by word: "My uncle, his name is Helian Dingbang."
"Helian Dingbang." Xiao Yunyan just nodded slightly, as if he was satisfied that she finally told the truth, and just smiled: "Then naturally your name is not Chen Liuxiang."
"Chen Liuxiang is my maid, and my name is Helianyi."
"He Lianyi, the legitimate daughter of Emperor Xia Wen, was given the name Ruian. She is the brightest pearl in Yong'an City. When she was fifteen years old, Emperor Xia Wen began to look for a good son-in-law for you. At that time, the border between Liang and Xia eased, and the two countries The courtiers all intended to get married, and you and I almost succeeded in negotiating a marriage."
"It's a pity that both you and my father were determined to expand the territory at that time, so the matter was left undisturbed and not mentioned."
"Okay, don't mention it. After the death of Helian Dingguo, in order to win over Xikang, Helian Dingbang wanted to give you to the King of Xikang. Sure enough, what you just said is true. But I didn't expect that Helianyi would I ran away on the road to get married, and I didn’t expect that by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up here with this king.”
"It's not about being homeless, it's about being robbed." He Lianyi corrected him.
"it's the same."
"Looking at how His Highness looks like this, it seems that he already knows my identity?"
"That's right." Xiao Yunyan stood up and took out a notice from the desk. The portrait inside was exactly that of He Lianyi in front of him.
"You are wanted everywhere in Ningdi, who can you hide it from?"
Seeing him getting up, Helianyi quickly sat up and begged again: "In that case, I beg your Highness to let me go."
"Why should I let you go? You and I both have the same goal. Since we are on the same road, why don't you just follow me? You can naturally meet Helian Dingbang one day."
"You and I may seem to be on the same journey, but actually we are not."
"Why, from your tone, do you have greater ambitions?"
"As I just said, I just want to kill Helian Dingbang with my own hands."
"Then I can't let you go. You can't kill him just because you are a female. If you stay with me, you will naturally see him in the future. I may let you kill him with your own hands."
"So what if I kill him with my own hands? This is still the hand of the fake His Highness. I already have a place to go and my own plans, and I will use my own methods to deal with him."
"Going somewhere? Where do you want to go?"
"I have many loyal and brave people in Daxia. As long as I find them, they will naturally protect me."
"What if I don't let you go?"
"It can be seen that His Royal Highness Prince Ji just wants to scare me tonight and just wants me to tell the truth."
Xiao Yunyan smiled playfully and moved closer to He Lianyi: "Are you sure?"
"I said, I will never take anyone as a concubine."
"What I mean is: There are only two side concubines in my palace, and the position of the main concubine is still vacant. Why don't you follow me now? If you can give me a son and a half, maybe I can I'll find a way to straighten you out. Now that you and I have become husband and wife, we naturally don't need to distinguish each other, and we don't need to care about who killed Helian Dingbang."
He Lianyi looked at him, seeming to be a little moved by his words. Xiao Yunyan took advantage of the situation and said: "That way, you don't have to run around. How about it?" He stared at He Lianyi for a long time, and saw that she remained silent. , then stretched out his hand, as if to untie Helianyi's belt.
He Lianyi instinctively protected herself with both hands, "No, I won't just follow His Highness without a name or status. If Your Highness is sincere, we can discuss marriage when you can give me a status in the future."
"If you don't give me an heir, how can I give you a title? I can't tell the world that you are a princess from the previous dynasty and have a distinguished status, so I want to marry you as my main concubine."
"Your Highness is clearly suspicious of me, so why do you test and humiliate me again and again? If you are still suspicious of me, why bother to imprison me here? If you let me go, Helian Dingbang will have more An opponent, this will also be good for His Highness."
Xiao Yunyan suddenly raised his eyebrows seriously, stared at her for a while, and then shouted: "Here comes someone."
Suddenly, two soldiers rushed in outside the camp, and Xiao Yunyan ordered again: "Drag her to the dungeon."
