"It's also my aunt."
"oh… "
Nan Yan recalled that when courtiers were discussing the policy towards the Tan Kingdom, they mentioned a few words that Nanli King Arislan and the new Emperor Mengke of the Tan Kingdom were cousins.
In fact, they are all qualified to seize the throne.
Even, during the conversation between Zhu Feng and Ye Zheng, Nan Yan heard them discuss that this Munch was actually the weakest among all contenders for the throne, but also the most docile one.
In other words — one of the least promising.
But in the end, the one who got the throne was the one in front of him.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan hesitated for a moment before facing the suspiciously elegant man, and said, "She is—"
"She was our father's youngest sister."
"..."
"It is said that she is also the most beloved daughter of my grandfather. My grandfather named her Tana, which means Pearl."
"..."
"She is a bright pearl on our grassland."
"..."
"However, this pearl disappeared very early, and we have never seen her."
"..."
"I just heard that after she disappeared, my grandfather was very angry and even ordered that no one in the country be allowed to mention this daughter. Even he himself pretended that he had never given birth to this daughter."
"..."
"It was only when we grew up that we heard our fathers talk about it, and then we realized that we still have such an aunt."
Nan Yan listened quietly without speaking.
But the eyebrows were unconsciously frowned.
Because of this situation, a little familiar.
In Yan Country, didn't Emperor Gao also order that no one should mention any news about his uncle, the former Bowang Hou Siboyan, or even pretend that this person never existed
Both of them were treated like this.
Does it really matter
Monk continued: "The noble concubine also saw that the stele was erected by your nominal uncle, Si Boyan, right?"
Nan Yan nodded.
Monk said: "Then do you think there is any relationship between these two people?"
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said, "I can't see it."
"..."
"That stele is so dilapidated, at least, it has been standing for twenty years."
"..."
"Such a long time has passed, and it's hard for me to see the relationship between the two people just based on the few lines above."
Monk looked at her for a while, then nodded with a smile, and said, "The imperial concubine is very cautious."
"..."
"It's good to be cautious in this kind of thing."
"..."
"However, sometimes, when things have no clue at all, you might as well make a bold guess."
While talking, he looked at Nanyan, and said seriously: "Has the imperial concubine ever guessed what relationship I have with the two of them?"
Hearing his words, Nan Yan's heartbeat sank.
He is no longer letting himself guess.
Instead, he directly threw out a possibility to himself, and this possibility was also a possibility that Nanyan had thought about countless times along the way, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Si Boyan and Princess Tana...
I was brought back to Yan Kingdom by Si Zhongwen...
That inexplicable letter...
Really, is there such a possibility
Nan Yan subconsciously twisted her fingers together, as if she was in a disordered state of mind at the moment, and Monk looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually, the imperial concubine doesn't have to worry."
"..."
"Many things in this world have a cause and an effect. As long as we gather all the causes, maybe the effect of things will naturally appear in front of us."
"..."
"What people have to do is to make a preparation."
"..."
"That is, no matter what the truth is, we must face it bravely."
I can't tell that the emperor of the country speaks a bit like a philosopher.
In short, he just doesn't look like an emperor.
Nan Yan looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty seems to already know what this 'truth' is."
Monk said: "I'm not a god, I can only guess."
"..."
"Just, if that guess is true—"
He stared at Nanyan for a while, and then said: "Maybe we are relatives."
"..."
Nan Yan didn't speak, but gave him a complicated look.
In fact, before this, she always looked at the people here with alertness, resistance, and even hostility. After all, she has been a native of Yan Kingdom for more than 20 years, and she even stood on the tower with Zhu Feng. , Resisted the attack of the Chinese people.
Even though, the letter left by Si Zhongwen faintly hinted to her that she might be from the country of Tan.
Self-cognition is also difficult to reverse.
However, Monk's words just now made her realize—
The blood of the people of the country may flow in her body.
The smiling emperor in front of him may really be her relative.
Relatives connected by blood.
The deep hostility in her heart couldn't be released at this moment.
This is the first time she has deeply experienced the kind of conflicts and entanglements in her heart, which are far more elusive than love and hate, and even impossible to escape.
After all, it's a matter of blood.
After a long silence, she lowered her head and said sullenly, "There is no way to prove these things. Your Princess Tana is missing, and our Marquis Bowang has also been missing for decades."
"..."
"I don't have any clues to prove my life experience."
Monk looked at her and said, "There may be no clues."
"..."
"But life experience may not be impossible to prove."
Nan Yan was taken aback, and looked up at him: "What do you mean?"
Monk said: "The wizards in our country have a secret technique that can help us determine whether the blood of people in the royal family is pure."
"..."
"You also know that there are countless people in the world who want to pretend to be of royal blood."
"..."
"In addition to the frequent wars in our country, some members of the royal family will inevitably have accidents."
"..."
"A lot of people like this came out. Therefore, the wizard's secret technique has helped us find out a lot of people."
Nan Yan looked at him and blinked.
She remembered that Azlan had indeed told her about this before.
She couldn't help being a little nervous: "Then, what kind of spell are you going to cast on me?"
Monk said, "You don't have to be nervous."
"..."
"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"..."
"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to figure out who you really are?"
Having said that, the premise is that she is not the imperial concubine of the Yan Kingdom, but she may be a member of the Tan Kingdom, or even a member of the royal family of the Tan Kingdom.
She took a deep breath and said, "What should I do?"
