When Cai Shisan heard Ying Ren mentioning the queen, he paused for a moment, but Chu Huan heard it clearly from behind, and was also very curious. Could it be that the jade pendant has something to do with the queen?

Cai Shisan was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Queen... Did the queen show the jade pendant to Your Highness?"

"That's not true." Yingren shook his head and said, "However, this king once saw this jade pendant in her mother's palace. At that time, I took it to enjoy it. There was only half of it, so I asked my mother about it."

"Then... what did the empress say?"

"The queen mother said that it was her family heirloom. I also asked where the other half was. The queen mother only said that it was in the hands of her relatives, but she didn't mention it much...!" His face was full of tears. Doubtful: "Cai Shisan, is this jade pendant of yours the same as the one held by the queen mother?"

Although Cai Shisan didn't turn his head, his body was trembling: "Your Highness, the Queen... Did the Queen say anything else?"

Yingren thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No. The queen mother seems unwilling to mention this jade pendant too much, but I have seen the half jade pendant held by the queen mother a few times, it looks...!" Speaking of this, suddenly He stopped, frowned and asked, "Cai Shisan, are you a relative of the empress?"

Cai Shisan tremblingly said: "Does Your Highness believe that this subject is the Queen's relative?"

"My lord...!" Yingren showed hesitation.

Cai Shisan sighed lightly: "Your Highness believes it, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with my ministers." Continued to move forward, said: "Your Highness, this place is very narrow, if you walk forward for a while, there will be a stone room. You can go to the stone room to rest."

Yingren didn't say much.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and suddenly felt that the passage opened up, and then they entered a stone room. Although this stone room is not very wide, it is not small. On the Zhang Shi chair, there are parcels and water bags on the table, which are obviously the dry food and water that Cai Shisan said had been prepared a long time ago.

It's just that opposite the stone chamber, there is still a passage going on, but I don't know where it leads.

Cai Shisan put the oil lamp on the table and said, "Your Highness, let's rest here for the time being. After a few hours, I will go to see what's going on outside."

Yingren sat down too tired, looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu Huan, sit down and rest."

Chu Huan just sat down on the stone chair next to him. Yingren glanced at Cai Shisan again and said, "Sit down too."

Cai Shisan nodded, sat down, picked up the water bag and handed it to Ying Ren, saying, "Your Highness, this is clear water."

Yingren took the water bag and was about to open it when he suddenly thought of something, put the water bag down again, shook his head and said, "I am not thirsty."

"Your Highness is still suspicious of your subjects." Cai Shisan sighed softly, and then coughed violently. He took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of his mouth. , with blood on it.

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Are you injured?"

Cai Shisan smiled lightly: "This is an old injury from back then. It is already a miracle that he can survive to this day, but this miracle will not last long."

Yingren asked: "Can you tell me now, what happened in Zhuangzi before this king came? You have a secret in your heart, what is the secret?" He snatched it from Cai Shisan. Half of the jade pendant came out, and said: "There is also this jade pendant, what is going on, you can tell me clearly."

Cai Shisan was silent, raised his head slowly, and glanced at Chu Huan as if he had nothing to do. Ying Ren was naturally not stupid, and shook his head and said, "You don't have to shy away from Chu Huan. Chu Huan is the person I trust most. Chu Huan, this king was killed by an assassin a long time ago." After a pause, he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't shy away from Chu Huan."

Yingren studied under Xu Congyang, and naturally understood a truth, if he really wanted others to believe in him, he had to believe in others first.

When he said this, he expressed his trust in Chu Huan in person.

Chu Huan stood up and said, "Your Highness, the owner of Cai Zhuang may really have some unspeakable secrets, and the humble general will step down first."

Yingren pointed to the dark passage, and said: "Do you want to stay in there? My king was almost suffocated in there." Said to Cai Shisan: "Cai Shisan, tell me."

Chu Huan looked at Cai Shisan, who had already sighed softly: "Chu Huan, Your Highness trusts you so much, it shows that you are also a loyal person. I am not afraid of you spreading some things." He raised his hand and said, "Your Highness trusts you so much. Sit down too."

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally sat down.

Only then did Cai Shisan look at Yingren and said, "Your Highness, do you think that your surname is really Cai?"

Ying Ren was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Isn't Cai Shisan your name?"

"Thirteen is a nickname given by others. There are too many people calling it, and many people have forgotten my name." Cai Shisan stared at Yingren with gentle eyes, and said slowly: "Your Highness, my surname is Yuan, Shan The name is a feather!"

"Yuan Yu?" Ying Ren asked curiously, "This name is strange, and the surname is also rare."

Yuan Yu, whose pseudonym was Cai Shisan, said softly: "This name may not be worth mentioning, but has your Highness never heard of this surname?"

Yingren's body shook suddenly, and he said in surprise, "You...your surname is Yuan?"

Yuan Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, this is a glorious surname."

Chu Huan showed doubts at first, but soon, he also showed shock on his face. Looking at Yingren, he saw Yingren's face was full of surprise, and he heard Yingren lose his voice: "Mother's mother... Mother's queen also has a surname. Yuan……!"

Empress Daqin, the mother of a country, her name is naturally a big taboo, most people dare not mention it, Yingren didn't care for a while, but the queen is his mother after all, his mind was just dull, but he quickly thought of it mother's last name.

Yuan Yu sighed: "The queen's Yuan surname is from the same branch as the minister's Yuan surname."

Yingren hurriedly said: "Then what is the relationship between you and the queen mother? Are you a relative of the queen mother? If you are really a relative of the queen mother, why do you stay in such a ghostly place? If you are a member of the queen mother's clan, you won an official in the court Half-time, that's a no-brainer."

Yuan Yu shook his head and said, "Your Highness is wrong."

"wrong?"

"Yes." Yuan Yu nodded again and said, "In today's Daqin world, there are four surnames, and it is absolutely impossible to be an official in Daqin. Among the four surnames, only your mother can mother the world."

Yingren was a little confused, but Chu Huan seemed to understand something, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Which four surnames are you talking about?" Yingren asked anxiously, "Why can't the four surnames be officials?"

"Yuan, Shan, Zhuge, Cheng, these four surnames are not allowed to be officials in Daqin." Yuan Yu showed a strange look on his face: "Daqin will not allow people with these four surnames to be officials, and these four surnames will never be officials in Qin Dynasty." The running dog of the country."

Ying Ren heard that Yuan Yu's words had a taste of blasphemy against Da Qin, and said angrily: "Cai..., no, Yuan Yu, you are so brave, do you dare to call my Da Qin officials all lackeys?"

Yuan Yu didn't change his face, looked at Yingren quietly, and said calmly: "Your Highness, I call myself a subject in front of you, not because you are the prince of Daqin, but because...you are the queen's own son!"

Yingren was startled, and he wanted to ask a question. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and muttered: "Yuan, Shan, Zhuge, Cheng... these four surnames, this king... this king seems very familiar...!"

"These four surnames have been honored in this land for hundreds of years." Yuan Yu sighed softly, with a different look on his face: "The four surnames in Guanzhong will never give up!" He looked at Yingren, The muscles on his face twitched, "It's just that His Highness seldom sees people with these four surnames in the world."

"I remember now." Yingren clapped his hands suddenly, and said in surprise: "The Yuan surname family, that is... that is the former royal family!"

Chu Huan said solemnly: "The four surnames in Guanzhong are also the surnames of the four great kingdoms of the former Dahua Dynasty!"

Yingren suddenly stood up, with a face full of horror, took two steps back, and pointed at Yuan Yu, "You...you are the royal family of the previous dynasty? You...you want to kill this king?" He finally thought that the royal family of the previous Dahua Dynasty Its surname is Yuan. Since Cai Shisan's surname is Yuan, and he is so mysterious, it is very likely that he is the legacy of the previous dynasty's royal family. The legacy of the previous dynasty and the prince of the current dynasty are undoubtedly the link between life and death. enemy.

Thinking of this, Ying Ren immediately felt that he had been fooled by Yuan Yu, and that Yuan Yu had deliberately planned to bring him here, and he must have ulterior motives.

He was regretting that he trusted Yuan Yu credulously, but Yuan Yu said calmly: "If everyone with the surname Yuan wants to harm His Highness, then the first one to harm His Highness is probably not me, but the empress."

Upon hearing this, Yingren calmed down, pondered for a while, then sat down again, and asked, "Aren't you from the former royal family?"

Yuan Yu smiled lightly, sighed softly, and finally said: "There are very few of the four surnames in Guanzhong, and even if there are descendants, they can only hide their names and live a life that never sees the light of day." Then he said word by word: " That's right, I'm the legacy of the former royal family, and the Yuan surname has not been extinct!"

Yingren said in shock: "Then do you mean that the empress... the empress is also from the former royal family?"

Yuan Yu nodded, and said with certainty: "Exactly. The queen is Princess Qingping from the previous court, and also my own sister."

Ying Ren and Chu Huan showed horror at the same time. Yuan Yu's words were simply unbelievable, and they couldn't recover for a while.

The queen is the princess of the former dynasty, and she is also Yuan Yu's younger sister. In this way, isn't Yuan Yu the prince of the Dahua Dynasty?

Why is the prince of the great Hua Dynasty reduced to such a state now, spending the rest of his life chatting in a gloomy villa?But why did Princess Qingping of the previous dynasty become the queen of the Great Qin Empire?

Why are the situations of these two brothers and sisters so different?

Yuan Yu picked up the half jade pendant that Yingren put on the stone table, and slowly said: "This is the jade in the palace of my Dahua Dynasty, and only people in the royal family can have it. It was given to me, and your mother's half jade pendant was also handed over to her back then, so that she would not forget her true identity."

Yingren raised his hand tremblingly, and shouted angrily, "You...you're talking nonsense, it's all nonsense."

Yuan Yu's cloudy eyes suddenly shot out light, staring at Yingren, and said sharply: "You know in your heart, I am not talking nonsense. I am your uncle, and in your blood, there is still my Dahua royal family." blood!"
