He finally spoke out the question that had been troubling him, but it was not the time to tell him, and she was not ready to tell him the truth.
"What kind of status can I have? I am just a daughter adopted by a hunter. Later, by chance, I became the emperor's concubine."
She was still lying, but her lying was so extraordinary that he couldn't see any shame on her face.
"No, you must have another identity."
"Then please tell the emperor clearly, what identity do I still have?"
Yan Li was a little annoyed, did she have to ask him to tell all the doubts
"I don't think you don't know the true identity of your adoptive father, do you?"
Rong Changan was silent, and said behind: "He is just a hunter."
Yan Li: "He's a eunuch! And he's a very powerful eunuch. You can't be unaware. Besides, before he died, Eunuch Fan said that you were kind to him. I want to ask you, what kindness do you have to him?" What kindness?"
A gust of cool wind brushed over Rong Chang'an's face, chilling Rong Chang'an's muscles and bones.
"It's just a small favor, why does the emperor have to know."
Yan Li: "You don't need to answer this question, but why did you sneak out at night?"
Rong Changan: "I don't want the emperor to take risks, so I came out alone."
"How did you know that the men in black took your stepmother to the market?"
Rong Chang'an: "I'm just like you. Those bloodstains were not from my adoptive mother, but towards the southeast. Only the market place can stay, so I came here."
Her answers were impeccable, and it was really difficult to extract information from her words.
"Can you show me the weapon on your waist?"
Ah, Yan Li actually saw her fighting the man in black with a soft sword! How can this falter in the past
"What is the emperor using it for?"
Yan Li: "I already know that what you hold in your hand is a soft sword. This soft sword is exactly the same as that carried by Queen Rong. You just need to show me it, and I will know if it is her weapon."
So what if Yan Li saw it, as long as she did not say that she was Rong Chang'an, would he still be able to kill her with a soft sword
With a cry from the wolf, Rong Changan drew out his soft sword and threw it to Yan Li. Yan Li held it in his hand, thinking about it as if looking at a peerless treasure. The marks on the hilt and the spots on the sword body are exactly the same as Rong Changan's!
Swish, Yan Li stared at Longmu, looked at Rong Changan with radiant eyes, raised his soft sword and asked sharply: "Where did you steal it? This is Empress Rong's sword. I'm so familiar with sharpness, you can't fool me."
Rong Changan lowered her head, she was thinking about how to deal with it.
"I found it under the high cliff. My adoptive father and I were hunting under the high cliff that day and found this soft sword. I... I didn't know it belonged to Queen Rong. If the emperor wants to blame, the concubine will have nothing to say Can say!"
Even if Ruan Jian was found under the high cliff, why does Xue Er look so similar to Rong Changan? Every move and style used are so close, they are basically the same person!
"Are you still lying to me?"
In Rong Chang'an's astonishment, Yan Li pointed the soft sword at her throat, as long as he handed it over, Rong Chang'an would disappear.
Facing the icy soft sword and Yan Li with a cold face, Rong Changan showed an understated smile, "The emperor really wants to kill me, why should I avoid it! My life belongs to the emperor, the emperor can take it as he wants!"
She raised her chin slightly, and what flashed in her big bright eyes was not submission and fear, but victory, joy, and arrogance.
Yan Li couldn't understand why there was such a light in her eyes.
A soft sword-like light appeared in the corner of Yan Li's eyes: "I'll ask you again, what's your relationship with Rong Chang'an? Is it a sister, or something else?"
This sentence, Yan Li almost roared out.
Rong Changan's eyes reflected the brightest star in the sky, and what flashed through her mind at this moment was the night she spent on the Rain Prayer Altar when she was doing disaster relief in the northwest.
"Your Majesty, I have already said everything I should say, so there is no need to say any more!"
Yan Li's hands trembled, and the cold light on the tip of the sword also flickered.
However, after a period of time, this soft sword was resolutely extended, and then slowly hung down, the tip of the sword touched the white snow, and it became one with the snow white.
"Okay, it seems that I am suspicious, and I hope Xueer will not blame me."
Since she refused to tell, what else could he do! Alas, he has already lost one Rong Changan, and he doesn't want to lose another person who looks like Rong Changan.
Rong Chang'an immediately gave Yan Li a standard palace ceremony: "My concubine, thank you Lord Long En!"
The two rode along the lake, one in front and the other behind. Under the stars and moon, they could only see their two gray shadows sliding slowly across the lake. The sky, cloud and shadow, white snow, became their foil.
Back in the thatched cottage, the two were speechless, and went back to their tents to rest. The next day, Yan Li sent people to the lake to bring the old woman's body back and bury it with Eunuch Fan's. After everything is over, Fajia returns to the capital. But Rong Changan was still uneasy, where did the lost Lin Hai go, what happened to him now, is his life in danger
Yan Li's face was also tense, without any smile. Everyone who knew Xueer's identity seemed to be dead. He would never know who Xueer was, where she came from, whether she was an enemy or a friend? Should he continue to treat her well, or neglect her
The night before yesterday, Rong Changan chased a total of nine people, and three of them fled into the forest and disappeared. There were six lying in ambush outside the forest, ambushing Rong Changan. So where did the three men in black who fled into the woods go
It turned out that Lin Hai was still locked in the hotel at that time, the three returned to the hotel, took Lin Hai out, fled the market at high speed, and headed for the capital.
They pretended to be businessmen at five o'clock in the morning, put Lin Hai on a Taiping cart full of red dates, entered Nanxun Gate, and transported Lin Hai into a magnificent mansion before dawn. The owner of this house is Chu Lin.
Seeing that the matter was not trivial, Chu Lin specially arranged a particularly remote pavilion in the house to detain Lin Hai.
Someone had already informed Ziyan in the palace of this news, Ziyan couldn't hold back her temper, got on a sedan chair, and came straight to Chu Lin's house.
"Where's the person?" Ziyan asked Chu Lin straight to the point as soon as she came in through the back door.
Chu Lin pointed to the back of the house: "Don't worry, noble concubine, I've made arrangements." After speaking, he grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth.
Zi Yan rubbed her hands together: "Quick, take me there!"
Chu Lin bowed: "I'll take the noble concubine there."
Screening away the servants and maids, Zi Yan and Chu Lin came to the outside of the pavilion in a hurry.
Chu Lin pointed to the house locked with a big brass lock: "He is inside. As soon as he arrived last night, I took out the cloth strip from his mouth, and he kept cursing. Gagged. Now he's safe!"
Zi Yan smiled slightly and said: "Don't suffocate him! He is a witness who testified against Xue'er, and he is invaluable to us!"
"I know, I give him the best food and the best clothes, but I just don't let him come out."
"Yeah, open the door!"
Chu Lin took out a bunch of jingling keys from his pocket, which seemed to weigh a full ten catties.
He picked out a relatively long one from the pile of keys, inserted it into the keyhole of the copper lock, and opened the lock. With a creaking sound, the two heavy wooden doors were pushed open by Chu Lin with difficulty. Inside is a studio with famous paintings from past dynasties on the walls. There is a bed in the middle, and a guqin is placed on the bed. — and nothing else.
