The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 25
Ning Yi and his party hurried to the southwestern gate of the palace, walked through the bushes into the depths of the grove, and finally saw the disheveled Qin Wan holding a shovel to open up the dog's hole.

Two cold palace guards watched her digging a hole and fleeing not far away expressionlessly. When they saw Ning Yi and his party coming, they immediately knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness King Ning..."

Ning Yi frowned into a plain word: "What's the situation?"

One of the guards replied: "Reporting to Your Highness King Ning, Your Majesty jumped over the wall and ran out. She wanted to dig a hole here to escape. The younger ones dare not forcefully stop you, and you are afraid of hurting your Majesty, so you can only stay here with you."

Qin Wan heard the noise in the woods, threw down the shovel, wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, and set up an awning to look over here.

In the mind of Old General Lu, the princess should be a model of nobleness, beauty, dignity and self-cultivation, but now this tomboy-like girl covered in mud and withered leaves is Princess Peiguo, which completely shatters his views.

Qin Wan walked in front of the crowd from the half-dug dog hole, and said to Ning Yi dejectedly, "This dog hole is too difficult to dig, and you found it after half-dug. It's boring."

Ning Yi seemed to be used to Qin Wan's various operations that went against common sense, so he calmly introduced to her: "This is General Lu Ziyi Lu, the commander of the Pei Guo Navy."

Although Qin Wan and Lu Ziyi imagined the princess to be very different, he quickly adjusted his mood, walked up to Qin Wan and bowed his hands and said, "Old Chen Lu Ziyi, see the princess."

Qin Wan blinked, and said to General Lu: "Why haven't you confirmed my identity and just saluted me? What if I'm not the real princess of Peiguo? What if I'm a wild girl that Ning Yi randomly found How about pretending to be the princess of the Pei Kingdom? Don't you have any doubts?"

Her words directly revealed Lu Ziyi's thoughts along the way before he came - whether the identity of the princess is true or not.She is likely to be a counterfeit that King Ning found in order to recruit Peiren.

Lu Ziyi pondered in his mind: If King Ning finds someone to pretend to be the princess of the Pei Kingdom, then at least let her wear a beautiful palace attire and behave decently in the hall to welcome him, an old minister of the Pei Kingdom. A sloppy girl like this will dig dog holes here.Looking at her transgressive behavior of directly addressing King Ning's name, digging up the palace wall and fleeing without any scruples, it is estimated that any fake princess would not have the guts to do it.What's more, she asked him if he doubted her identity as soon as she came up, and she directly pointed to the biggest doubt in his heart. This alone is enough to prove that her identity is unusual.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Wan immediately turned around, pushed back her hair, and the word "Wan'an" clearly appeared on her neck: "Old General, Ning also said that this tattoo is unique to the royal family of Pei Kingdom." But I have no memory of this tattoo, it should have been stabbed on my neck when I didn’t remember anything. Since you are from Pei, can you identify it.”

After Lu Ziyi saw the tattoo, his whole body trembled slightly in surprise. He was one of the officials who participated in the assassination ceremony of Princess Peiguo.

Suddenly seeing the tattoo on Qin Wan's neck, the events of that year are suddenly vivid: 18 years ago, the little princess had just reached the full moon, and Emperor Pei held a ceremony to worship the heavens and pray for blessings. It is also good or bad for divination.

Emperor Pei admired the divination ceremony very much, thinking that it was the key revelation that could determine the future fate of Pei Kingdom.

But as soon as the result of the divination came out, the priest's expression froze instantly. Then, at the cost of his own life, the priest violated the principle of divination, and tried the divination twice again, but the result was exactly the same three times.After three divinations, the priest exhausted his life and presented the results of the divination to Emperor Pei before dying.Peidi's desperate expression is still deeply in Lu Ziyi's mind.

At that time, Queen Pei saw that Emperor Pei was in despair, and immediately took the oracle from Peidi's hand. She read the inscription with only one word carefully for a long time, and then said to the people attending the ceremony: "God! Give my daughter the word "Wan'an", this woman is blessed by nature and obeys the time, this result just shows that I, Dapei, will overcome the difficulties, and the people of Dapei will be safe forever!"

Hearing such a result, everyone present cheered and celebrated.

But only Lu Ziyi, who stood beside the queen and had excellent eyesight, saw that there was only one word on the note with the divination result - "late".

The fate of the Dapei country has come to an end, and it is too late to save the country. The country's death is over, and it is too late for everything.

King Pei did not stab the princess's neck to pray for blessings according to the inscriptions, but pierced the word "Wan'an" abruptly. Although the pronunciation is similar, the meaning is completely different. The people at least get a safe and peaceful result.

But such a change did not achieve the result the queen wanted. Only three months later, the Dapei country was destroyed and the people were displaced.

Thinking of this, Old General Lu burst into tears, recalling all kinds of things in the past, although 18 years have passed, but when he thinks about it again, he is still heartbroken.

Old General Lu faced Qin Wan with tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "The old minister sees Princess Wan'an, Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

Qin Wan stepped forward to help Old General Lu up, and asked, "General Lu, are you sure that I am the princess you mentioned?"

Old General Lu nodded: "The tattoo on the back of your neck is a pigment made of Peiguo's unique red lacquer branches mixed with Huolin's bird blood. Even after decades, this pigment is still as bright as new. There is a slight change. And this Peiguo royal font is unique in shape, and it is difficult for ordinary tattooers who have studied it for a long time to imitate. The old minister can fully confirm that you are the princess of Peiguo."

Qin Wan did not show a surprised expression, but said very calmly: "I always thought I was an orphan, and now I can find my true identity, so happy."

With tears in his eyes, Old General Lu looked at Qin Wan seriously. The mud on her face, the dirt and fallen leaves on her body couldn't stop her from being similar to Empress Pei—not glamorous, but she looked agile. Clever, especially a pair of black jade-colored eyes, exactly the same as the queen.Lu Ziyi sighed, she was obviously the most noble princess of the Pei Kingdom, but now she looked so downcast, thinking of these old generals immediately made her feel distressed.

"Old minister, dare to ask, why did the princess dig a hole here?" General Lu asked Qin Wan, but his eyes shot at Ning Yi fiercely like a scimitar.In his opinion, the situation of the princess was caused by Ning Yi on purpose.If Qin Wan confirmed it, he would risk his life and take the princess out of here no matter what.

Qin Wan tilted her head and looked at Ning Yi provocatively, her eyes seemed to say: The success of your plan to recruit Peiren's old department depends on what this girl says now.

Ning Yi looked at Qin Wan calmly. Before today, he would never have thought that Qin Wan would make such a move.

Originally, he had worked out various plans with Bai Zixian to make Lu Ziyi believe that Qin Wan is the princess of Peiguo, but he did not expect Qin Wan to be superior. He first questioned Lu Ziyi, gave him a small amount of evidence, and then let Lu Ziyi believe that Qin Wan is the princess of Peiguo. To prove her identity herself.

Once people justify themselves in self-awareness, they will be very sure of the conclusions given by the brain.It is precisely because of this that Lu Ziyi brainstormed all the evidence to prove that she is the princess of Peiguo, and he firmly believes in it.

Her approach seemed absurd, but it really helped Ning Yi.

Ning Yi let go of her frowning eyebrows, and smiled approvingly at Qin Wan.

Qin Wan raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, and then said to Lu Ziyi, "I dig the hole because I want to escape."

"Why?" The old general straightened his face, and his expression became stern and fierce, "Is it because the Rong people treated you badly?"

"No, no, it's not..." Qin Wan pretended to sigh helplessly, raised his finger and said to Ning Yi, "It's the Regent King Ning of Rong Kingdom, who fell in love with me at first sight from the first time he saw me. Unable to extricate himself, he insists on marrying me now. When I said no, he would cry, make trouble and hang himself. He was extremely clingy. I said I didn't like him, but he confessed to me many times sincerely, Said that in this life, he must marry me as his concubine, love me forever, I am the most beautiful, the best, and the most beautiful all day long, and only I am the most worthy to be his concubine. I really can't bear such a passionate pursuit, so I dig The hole wants to escape."

Ning Yi: "..."

Everyone present: "..."
