It seems that the thirteenth princess was born to your daughter.
The Cao family also expressed that they were confused. They had hardly seen the Thirteenth Princess since her mother-in-law died. It wasn't that they didn't want to see her, but the royal rules prevented them from seeing her.
But some time ago, didn't the thirteenth princess specifically ask the Holy Emperor to allow her to leave the palace and then come to their home
He said that after experiencing the invasion of the capital, he came to see if they were still okay and if the whole family was safe from the capital to accompany the capital.
Why are you outside again
As soon as Meng Li entered the main hall, he saluted the emperor as a princess and said:
"Brother Emperor."
Emperor: "... You know that if you talk nonsense like this in front of me, you will be questioned and executed. Don't take credit for yourself."
Meng Li raised his head and looked at the emperor, and said softly:
"Brother Emperor, take a good look, do I look familiar?"
The emperor was a young man, not tall but a little thin.
His eyes were very bright and sharp. He looked at Meng Li for a while and then said:
"You do have a bit in common with Princess Thirteen."
Meng Li: "...I am."
"His Majesty."
A eunuch came in, leaned over and whispered in the emperor's ear. After the emperor listened, he said:
"Then let her in."
The eunuch was ordered to go out.
He said to Meng Li:
"The Thirteenth Princess is coming soon, let's see what you say."
Meng Li's eyes were strange, as if the existence of the thirteenth princess made her feel strange.
Soon a woman in gorgeous clothes walked in, her hair was full of pearls, her steps were graceful, and her posture was beautiful.
"I've seen the emperor brother." The woman said softly without raising her head.
"Get back on your feet." The emperor said calmly.
The woman stood up and Meng Li shouted:
"Miss Hanzhu, are you okay?"
The woman looked at Meng Li in shock. She hadn't heard this name for so long that she almost forgot it.
"you… "
Hanzhu's lips trembled and his face turned pale as he looked at Meng Li.
After hearing from the eunuch serving the emperor that the emperor would summon the fake thirteenth princess today, she hurriedly came to expose this person.
She thought that this person, like her, knew that the Thirteenth Princess was captured by Zheng soldiers, so he came to pretend to be the Thirteenth Princess.
Even if a plain-looking palace maid is captured by the enemy, she has no reason to come back. This is how women in this world are, and they are usually rewarded to men.
What's more, this is a princess with a gorgeous appearance, and it is even more impossible to come back.
The emperor looked at Hanzhu coldly, vaguely understanding that something was wrong.
If there is no secret, this expression should never be present.
He watched calmly and silently.
Meng Li looked at Hanzhu. Many parts of Hanzhu's makeup were deliberately based on the client's appearance. Even his dress and jewelry preferences were carefully learned from the client's habits.
The client's wet nurse actually not only took care of the client when he was a child, but also took care of him long after the client's mother-in-law passed away.
Speaking of which, the client still had some dependence and affection on this nanny.
When the mother-in-law was alive, she was busy competing for favor. After the mother-in-law died, no one gave her maternal love, so she could more or less feel it in the nanny.
Therefore, the wet nurse is very aware of many of the client's habits.
In fact, it is quite normal. Many princes and princesses have some feelings for their nannies. They have deep feelings and even keep this nanny for their whole life.
Even after reaching adulthood, all matters in the house will be arranged by the wet nurse.
What's more, there have been cases in history where the emperor's wet nurse disrupted the government.
Meng Li even felt that the client looked a bit like the nanny's daughter, maybe because he was raised by a woman.
Of course, this is just an unreasonable guess and just a random thought.
"It's not like what you learned here. My eyebrows should be a little thinner, while yours are a little thicker. Also, you are not very particular about it, but you know that the princess pays attention to details right down to her eyebrows, so that her eyebrows don't look messy."
Meng Li pointed to his eyebrows. Although Hanzhu did a good job with the details, he still didn't notice it.
"Looking at similar facial features, you may look low-brow, but I look more proud."
"Want to know why?" Meng Li looked at Hanzhu sharply and asked.
After meeting the real master, Hanzhu could not panic. After all, she was a teenage woman. She couldn't hide it at this moment, and her legs were already shaking.
When she heard Meng Li's confident questioning, her mentality was on the verge of collapse. She stuttered and asked:
"Why, why?"
Meng Li said:
"Because you are used to lowering your eyebrows and being submissive, and I was born as a princess. I have my own majesty. Just like now, you are showing a kind of fear and uneasiness, but I can stand here calmly and calmly. Who is the real one?" , it’s already clear who is fake.”
"I do not understand what you're saying."
Hanzhu Fangcun was already in disarray. He couldn't find the words to refute Meng Li, so he could only pretend to be stupid.
"Then I want to say that there is a birthmark on your back. Did your mother tell me?" Meng Li asked.
Hanzhu: "What kind of birthmark, I don't know, I don't know."
She covered her ears, not wanting to listen and not daring to look at Meng Li. She didn't even have the courage to question Meng Li.
Meng Li looked at the emperor and said:
"Brother Imperial, this girl is the daughter of my nanny Liu. Due to the chaos in the palace at that time, I was captured by Zheng soldiers. After going through a lot of hardships, I left Zheng and returned to you, Imperial Brother. Who knew someone might be pretending to be me."
The emperor pondered for a moment, looked at Hanzhu and said:
"how do you say?"
Hanzhu looked at the emperor in panic:
"Your Majesty, no, brother, believe me, I'm not lying, I..."
"But I saw that you were in such chaos. How could you be like this if you didn't have a ghost in your heart?" the emperor asked.
Hanzhu hurriedly defended:
"I didn't, didn't..."
"I will investigate on my own. The royal bloodline cannot be confused." The emperor said solemnly:
"If you provoke me now, I might be able to soften my heart and give you a lighter punishment."
He glanced at Hanzhu gloomily.
Hanzhu shook her hands. Faced with the double pressure from Meng Li and the emperor, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She didn't know how the emperor wanted to investigate, but at this moment she was afraid of the emperor's power, and she just felt that as the emperor, he should have thousands of mysterious methods. Moreover, now that her identity had been explained by the princess, there was no doubt at all. As long as she wanted to investigate, she could follow the princess's instructions. If you tell me the direction, things can't be covered up.
The most exciting thing is a lighter punishment.
It's just that she never knew that the lenient punishment mentioned by the emperor was probably something that her life could not bear.
"Emperor...brother!"
Hanzhu's tone was extremely long and weird, like a cry, and it also announced that her princess dream was completely shattered, and she would face the crime of deceiving the emperor.
She was like a deflated rubber ball, and suddenly collapsed on the ground.
He looked at Meng Li resentfully and murmured:
"Why do you want to come back? You are a princess. You will be rich and powerful when you get there. As for me, I have nothing."
