"You, how do you know..." The princess's eyes were full of shock. He knew what Chen Yuan knew, but he didn't expect that he even knew her life experience.
"Isn't it obvious? The monk and Jiang Mi who are waiting for him both call you princess, and Li Niang calls the monk general Wen. As far as I know, the only general named Wen in the six countries of the Western Regions is Wen Di, who died in the Guibai Kingdom, right? Back then, right? I suffered a big loss from the army. Is this monk surnamed Wen his son? The sect to which Jiang Mi belongs is called Meiwan Sect. Just the word "Meiwan" should not be too obvious. Doesn't it mean that the ghost is not finished? "Chen Yuan said with a smile.
The princess said nothing, but she squeezed the square handkerchief in her hand tightly and pursed her lips a bit. After a moment, he said: "Then how did you know this before? How did you know to follow me and find me?"
"I didn't expect it to be yours at first. After all, you are the biological mother of the young prince, and you dote on Xiaoyun very much on weekdays." Chen Yuan said.
"That's..." The princess wondered what went wrong.
"There are many doubts." Chen Yuan said.
Seeing that the princess was staring at him without asking, he continued: "The young prince is missing. The officers and soldiers searched the entire palace but found no one. They even suspected that my brother who had a conflict with the young prince yesterday had murdered Xiao Yun. . But that's all, I didn't see you come to the little prince's room, turn around, and actually run to tell fortunes. Although there is a way to find the direction of lost things, but this is a living person, who can tell the fortune for a while? You can only think of this method unless you are really desperate."
"I am a woman, and my leg is injured..." The princess wanted to find a reasonable excuse.
"Speaking of your leg injury, this is the key. Only with an injury can the chair lift appear in various necessary situations. Another thing, when we finished drinking that day and you came to see the young prince, even though it rained It's a lot smaller, but it doesn't stop after all. You would rather have another maid who specializes in holding umbrellas, instead of changing to a sedan with curtains, curtains, and a roof. You still have to sit on this lift chair. Doesn't it look like this lift chair is too big? It's too important." Chen Yuan interrupted.
"How do you know that the chair is hollow?" the princess asked.
"My little nephew found that your chair is a little thicker than usual." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Just because it's a little thicker?" the princess asked.
"Based on the different depths of the footprints of the sedan bearers on the muddy ground." Chen Yuan continued.
"The rain is just right." The princess said with a wry smile.
"The other one is Tingting." Chen Yuan said.
"That girl, what's wrong?" the princess asked in confusion.
"That girl just told you the suspicious things she discovered, but you actually kicked her out of the house and wanted to silence her," Chen Yuan said.
"When did I ever think about silence? Not only did I not, but I also gave her a lot of property and told her not to talk too much after she goes back." The princess said.
"Oh? That was his idea alone." Chen Yuan muttered.
"Who? What's the idea?" the princess asked confused.
"The fortune teller is the monk. Did you know that Bald Donkey used your belongings to find people who wanted to make money to kill Tingting?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Ah? How could it be? I just told him not to play that trick of lying on the bed again. All the maids in my house have noticed the clues." The princess said.
"Fortunately, we also want to know this clue, otherwise Tingting's family would all have died by now." Chen Yuan said.
"He is really capable of doing such a thing." The princess whispered.
"We dealt with the gang of thugs, and after questioning, they said that there was a fortune teller who said that there was a fortune that should belong to him here. When I asked the fortune teller again, he turned out to be the person the princess was looking for." Chen Yuan said with a smile. .
"There are so many fortune tellers in the city, but that one is not the one closest to the palace, nor is it the most famous one in the city. Why does the princess want to find that person?" Chen Yuan continued.
"Maybe I want to have breakfast in that alley before going there. There happens to be one in the alley," the princess said.
"It's a coincidence that the fortune teller came just when the princess was about to eat bean curd. It happened that she could use the table skirt of the fortune teller stand to cover her legs to prevent her clothes from getting dirty. The person who had been hiding under the table could open the side panel and move out the small Your Majesty." Chen Yuan said.
"And what happened later was even more coincidental. You arranged for a maid to come and apologize to my lecherous brother. It happened that the maid was menstruating, and then my brother happened to have a ghost in bed that night. We discovered it during the day. The secret of the medicine on the menstrual cloth is that the maid happened to be wearing the side that was not smeared with medicine. And the person who was helping this maid wash and dress happened to be your personal maid, Princess." Chen Yuan said.
"And..." Chen Yuan was about to say more, but the princess interrupted him.
"Hey..." The princess sighed and said, "What you said is true."
"So you thought of some way to make all the soldiers in the camp come to me and say that they were trapped in bed by ghosts. Naturally, I became anxious. This was obviously not part of my plan, and I have already tried my best to make it happen. Yun'er got out, how could something happen that I don't know about? So I will go to the real owner to find out. After all, it is related to my child, and I am afraid that something will happen." The princess said.
"Yes, I just need to keep up with my aunt, and I found out that the monk and the fortune teller are the same person, and he is also the General Wen that Li Niang said." Chen Yuan said.
Princess Chenyuan was silent and continued: "Wen Di's great military exploits were equivalent to single-handedly carrying ghosts and destroying the country that Bai Wan had destroyed for twenty years. Your father promised you to his son. Unexpectedly, not long after we made the promise, the city fell apart. But even if we were not married, how could he leave you and run away?"
"Heh, you're just a princess of a subjugated country. If it's useful to them, they'll stick to you. It's useless, heh..." the princess said with a bitter smile.
"At least he really didn't hurt Xiaoyun, and he unnecessarily detoxified Xiaoyun and exposed himself." Chen Yuan said.
"He did it on purpose, so that when he goes back he can say that I forced him to detoxify. The prince will be exposed when he comes back, and he doesn't have to stay here anymore." The princess smiled contemptuously.
"What are they planning? Do they want to restore the country?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Even I, a female prostitute, knows that there is no hope of restoring the country. Don't they know?" the princess sneered.
"Then why did they go all out to find out what Xiaoyun did?" Chen Yuan said.
"They said that the King of the West is guarding Nan Qi's lifeline. Even if they cannot restore the country, they still want to destroy what the prince is guarding." The princess said.
"Do you know what that is?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I only know what is behind a bronze door. I have no idea what is inside." The princess shook her head.
Chen Yuan remained silent, lowering his head and thinking about something.
"After the country was destroyed, the escaped courtiers hid in a manor in the countryside, thinking of revenge. Finally, when Emperor Nanqi visited the territory in the west, he planned to assassinate him. Unexpectedly, all the masters who went out to assassinate were killed. There, only one of the Imperial Preceptors was seriously injured and escaped, and when he came back, he left the message that King Dingxi was guarding the lifeline of the dynasty, but there were only a few numbers, and he died without telling it clearly," the princess said.
Chen Yuan listened quietly without making a sound, which was similar to what he heard before. It seemed that the princess reciprocated the favor and had nothing to hide from herself.
"Since then, I have been at their mercy like a puppet. To put it nicely, I am a princess, but to put it worst, I am worse than a dog. On the surface, I respect you, but if you don't do what you are told, I will be punished. I will teach you a lesson with the hatred of the country and the family, and even threaten you." As the princess spoke, her eyes turned red again.
"Since they knew that the prince was guarding Nanqi's lifeline, they planned to find out what it was. I don't know how they got in touch with Nanqi's prime minister. The prime minister actually admitted that I was his biological daughter who stayed in the countryside before going to Beijing. Then I made an engagement with the prince's father, and I was actually arranged to go to the prince to find out news for them!" The princess cried, but Chen Yuan remained silent.
"For so many years, I have been asked all the time if I have made any progress. Ever since I married the prince, I have felt more relaxed than ever before. Finally, I don't have to feel like I am being weighed down by a mountain every day and can't breathe. I have been living with the prince wholeheartedly. Look at the prince. It seems majestic, but in fact, he treats me considerately, and I willingly have two children..." After saying this, the princess stopped crying, and looked tenderly at the little prince who was still snoring slightly on the bed, her eyes full of happiness. But just for a moment, his expression changed again: "But not long after I gave birth to Yun'er, a letter came from over there saying that I was asked to go out and find a nanny for Yun'er on the grounds of insufficient milk supply. He said that the nanny had already been arranged. The government will assist me in my search later. Maybe it’s because I haven’t made any progress in so many years, so they are starting to get anxious.”
"Oh, that's how Li Niang entered the house." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Well, the same goes for those two personal maids. They were found by Li Niang. They ran out of the house today when they saw something was wrong." The princess said, and then she finally smiled again: "Finally no one is watching me anymore."
"Then you don't have to tip them off and let Li Niang work alone." Chen Yuan said.
"Are you talking about that time you heard Yun'er talking to his father?" the princess said.
Chen Yuan nodded.
"Li Niang was not far behind me that time. She has some skills. Although she is farther away than me, she can definitely hear a few words. She can still speak even if I don't speak." The princess said.
"Thankfully you didn't hear everything, otherwise the secret would have been known to them." Chen Yuan said.
"I heard everything." said the princess.
"Twin peaks of the sacred mountain, under the Earth Temple, there is a giant bronze door." The princess smiled.
Chen Yuan's eyes widened in shock. It turned out that she deliberately didn't hear clearly and only said a few irrelevant words, causing Li Niang to dig out the cellar for more than half a year. Chen Yuan now completely believed that the princess really wanted to live a good life.
"I also heard the prince saying that Yun'er should not tell anyone about this matter, including me." The princess said.
"So I have always pretended not to know about this matter in front of the prince. I also deliberately asked Yun'er about it in front of Li Niang several times. Fortunately, this child really listens to his father's words, and even I don't Tell me." The princess said, feeling somewhat sad.
"So based on the information you gave, Li Niang and others mistakenly concluded that the giant bronze gate is located underground in Qiuhuai Courtyard." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Then they figured out how to create a haunting, allowing you to move out of the yard justifiably so that she could work there." Chen Yuan laughed out loud as he spoke.
The princess looked at Chen Yuan's trembling shoulders and laughed out loud, saying: "That's not enough. She dug the yard and couldn't find it. She came here through this tunnel firstly to make it easier to contact me, and secondly... I want to dig deeper from here."
"Haha! I can't even figure out where all the dirt went." Chen Yuan laughed.
"You only need to throw the soil out once, and when you dig the second place, just fill in the first place." The princess said.
"So there is no cellar underground over there. They are making fun of Li Niang." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, if we really dug out the cellar, wouldn't it all collapse and the whole house sink into the ground." The princess also smiled, and she felt much more relaxed after a while.
"When they heard that Mrs. Li actually started construction work for the prince's palace here, they became anxious, so they came up with the idea of stealing the young prince." Chen Yuan said.
"Well, I absolutely disagreed at first. How could it be possible? You want to put a needle in my son's head!" the princess said angrily.
"In the end, they threatened and comforted me. First, they called in a few people and asked Jiang Mi to give me several soul-searching demonstrations on the spot, letting me know that it was indeed harmless to people afterwards. Then they threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, I just wrote a letter and told my husband everything about my life experience and everything that happened when I entered the palace. I was angry and scared, so I cooperated with them and stole my son out." After the princess finished speaking, she looked at the young prince, her eyes filled with tears. famous.
After hearing the whole story, Chen Yuan knew that this princess was also a pitiful person. As long as she doesn't harm the prince and treats Xiaoyun well, why should she talk about it and tear down a family? Sometimes the truth isn't that important.
Seeing that Chen Yuan was silent for a long time, the princess didn't know what he was thinking, so she called out: "Good nephew."
Chen Yuan responded.
"You know everything you should know. Now I have doubts. What did you tell the prince and how did you pick me clean?" the princess asked curiously.
Chen Yuan smiled, knowing that she would ask, so he told the princess the outline of the story he made up.
"Well..." The princess pondered for a while and said: "At first glance, there are no flaws, but many details are not reasonable."
"Don't worry too much, aunt. You know all the ins and outs and all the details. Of course, it seems unreasonable in comparison. But the prince has been away for the past two days. Where did he know so many details?" Chen Yuan said.
"Your Majesty may seem careless, but sometimes he is also very careful," the princess said.
"Wow, Auntie, it's very difficult to make up on the spot. It's not easy to make it up to this level." Chen Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"Well... you are also very considerate." The princess stared at Chen Yuan and praised him.
"Okay, I'll go to the front hall, Auntie. The prince has probably finished washing. Wait here for Xiaoyun to wake up, then ask him to come find me. He hasn't eaten for two days and is probably starved to death." Chen Yuan grinned. road.
"You just look like a child when you show your teeth." The princess also smiled and finally said: "Go ahead."
Seeing Chen Yuan still turning the disguise in his hand and whistling as he went out the door, the princess sighed and said, "Yun'er, you do have a good brother."
