His Highness carefully read the letters that A Piao brought back. After reading them, he stuffed the letters back into the envelopes intact and placed them gently on the small table next to him. He raised his head and looked at the people standing there. The three people in front of them showed a faint smile when they saw the nervous, worried and anxious expressions on their faces.
"Your Highness, you..." A'Piao looked at His Highness worriedly. She felt a little uneasy and couldn't figure out what this reaction was. She took a deep breath and asked carefully, "You..."
His Highness raised his hand and shook it towards her twice, interrupting what she was going to say next.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But..." Ah Piao stared at her for a long time, but she didn't seem to see the slightest hint of nothing on his face.
"No need to observe, I'm really fine." His Highness smiled, "When you came in, you were so cautious and uneasy, just because you were afraid that I would be sad to see this?" The three people nodded silently. , she smiled again, "I'm not going to be angry about this, they are not worth causing me any emotional fluctuations."
"What... does this mean?"
"Don't worry, I will explain slowly." His Highness pointed to the seat in front of him, "Okay, sit down first. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" A'Piao reached out and pulled Hei Lu'er beside her, winked at Wu Shu Dan, and sat cross-legged in front of His Highness. She poured tea for everyone including herself, " Your Highness, this is not a small matter, Wanyan Qingmu actually let the Japanese set fire to the gathering place of the tribe, and no one from the tribe leader to the ordinary tribesmen survived, this is a big deal."
"It is indeed a big thing, but it is not as big as you think. How should I put it, it is expected. Because I have a plan, there is nothing to be shocked or angry about."
"Have you thought of it before?"
"Well, sooner or later." His Highness raised the corners of his lips and showed a cruel smile, "For such an ending, they... are to blame for themselves? It is considered that they asked for it themselves."
"Ah?" Ah Piao looked at His Highness in confusion, "What... does this mean?" She narrowed her eyes and looked at His Highness, "Your reaction is quite unexpected, isn't it? Are you a little gloating?"
"You're right, I am indeed a bit gloating, but more of a feeling of relief. The ending I have been waiting for for a long time has finally appeared, and I am really happy and happy for them."
"Your Highness, what you said is too..." Wu Shudan took a sip of tea, "Is there any dispute between you two? Otherwise, as a member of the clan, you shouldn't react like this. After all, , they are considered your blood relatives, right? You protect this one..." Seeing His Highness narrowing his eyes, he swallowed back the word "problem" he was about to say, bared his teeth, "You won't reply to this advantage. Indifferent. So, your reaction now is that they have offended you before."
"The analysis is correct. There is no problem in letting me protect our shortcomings, but the premise is that they regard me, my sister, and even our mother as clan members." His Highness raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think that in the early years, my aunt did this? Do the clan leader and elders know about those things or do they not?"
"Your Highness has already asked, so I think they should know what my aunt has done."
"Does Hikaru know?"
"This statement is even more profound!" Wu Shudan touched his chin, "In other words, my aunt plotted against the two princesses. Not only did the clan leader and elders know about it, but they probably indulged and acquiesced, right?"
"Smart!" His Highness snapped his fingers, "Don't just indulge and acquiesce, think more deeply."
"Are you colluding with each other?" Seeing His Highness nod with satisfaction, Ah Piao thought for a moment and said, "As soon as His Highness reminded me, I remembered that you once said that regarding the existence of you and His Highness Wanyanping, the patriarch You and the elders won’t accept it, and even the existence of the two princesses is considered a shame, right?”
"almost."
"But in fact, these were all their plans? But things didn't develop as they imagined, and they were not very happy."
"Yes." His Highness nodded, "It's because they feel that they can't see any hope or benefit from us, so..." She shrugged, "I have to thank my aunt for this. If it weren't for her I have temporarily persuaded the clan leader and elders to let me grow up in peace, and I should not appear in front of you."
"But during this period, they also acted like monsters, didn't they?"
"You must be doing small things all the time." His Highness waved his hand, "Anyway, lack of food and clothing is a common thing, and teasing by peers is not uncommon. It wasn't until my sister and I got to know each other that the situation got better. They thought I Should they be taken away by their sister, and maybe they will become famous in the future? In their hearts, it should be chickens and dogs ascending to heaven. Anyway, they feel that it is not easy to offend them in the future, so from that time on, the little actions before stopped. It didn’t stop completely. Much, much less than in previous years.”
"Aren't they and the Japanese at odds with each other?" A Piao lay on the table and yawned. It wasn't that she wanted to be rude in front of His Highness, but that she was too tired from the day and she almost couldn't hold on anymore. "how……"
"They are indeed at odds with the Japanese, but several elders in the clan are not like that. As long as it is profitable, they don't care who they cooperate with. This is actually very similar to Auntie and Wanyan Qingmu. So. , they have maintained a very close relationship with the Japanese for so many years. Moreover, I guess that it was my aunt who came to bridge the gap between Wanyan Qingmu and the Japanese."
"Then..." Hei Lu'er looked at His Highness, "Did Auntie know that this kind of genocide happened? Or was she also kept in the dark?"
"She must have been kept in the dark. Compared to my sister and me, she is more attached and tied to the clan. If she knew Wanyan Qingmu would do such a thing, she probably wouldn't agree." His Highness shook his head and looked at the letters on the table, "Since these letters are for her, you will bring them to her tomorrow." Seeing A Piao narrowing her eyes, she smiled, "You are tired, today Don't worry about it tonight, keep your spirits up, and deal with her properly tomorrow." She bared her teeth, "My aunt is hysterical, and ordinary people can't deal with it."
