Li Weiyang looked at Li Minde in surprise. At this moment, she felt that the boy in front of her gave her an illusion that was extremely strange.

"Minde..." Li Weiyang couldn't help but say, "It seems that you have never let me know your identity."

Li Minde was stunned when he heard this, then approached a little. The bright candlelight shook on his white jade-like cheeks, and the shadow of his eyelashes also swayed lightly: "Do you really want to know?"

Li Weiyang nodded solemnly, then glanced out of the car window: "Isn't this a good time?"

Li Minde smiled and said, "They? It doesn't matter." Obviously, he didn't take Jiang Nan seriously, "If you want to know..."

Li Weiyang felt that his smile looked strange. He was still very energetic just now, but when she asked about his true identity, his expression seemed to show a kind of sadness. Although he was still smiling, she had a strange illusion, as if he was about to cry.

"If you don't want to say it, I'll still say the same thing, unless you tell me on your own initiative, otherwise..." Li Weiyang said slowly.

At this moment, Zhao Nan outside shouted loudly: "Young master, everyone outside has been dealt with, except the leader." Zhao Nan outside the car gritted his teeth, Jiang Nan fled in a hurry, but they couldn't catch it. "Don't worry, master, these people will be dealt with immediately..."

"Dead?" Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide in horror and stared at Zhao Yue beside her, but the other party was old god, as if she didn't care at all.

Li Weiyang also looked at Li Minde inexplicably in horror. He killed all Jiang Nan's people? How could it be?

"It's just some bandits. I will use Jingzhao Yin to sweep away these disasters. The court shouldn't pursue anything." Li Minde lowered his eyes and said slowly.

Li Weiyang couldn't help but lift the curtain and glanced outside. Except for a group of guards in black, there was no living person. Jiang Nan was all elite soldiers. These people were so fast... she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Don't worry, I will deal with it naturally and I won't let Jiang Nan take advantage of the problem." Li Minde said with a smile.

Li Weiyang frowned: "But-"

Li Minde shook his head and said, "He should know some lessons. As for the people outside, I will tell Jingzhao Yin that they were a group of private soldiers who broke into Kyoto. They all had martial arts and experienced many battles. When they arrived in Kyoto, they hid in the civil affairs, robbed passers-by officials and wealthy businessmen. Today they met the guards of the Li Mansion. If Jiang Nan was willing to claim these bodies, it would be even better. He could also sue the Jiang family for hiding private soldiers. I think no matter how bold he was, he would not admit that he brought elite soldiers to Beijing in front of the emperor."

Li Weiyang laughed. Although these generals had a large number of soldiers around them, once they entered Kyoto, they were not allowed to take any soldiers or soldiers. What could be used was their own guards. These guards were naturally incomparable to soldiers who had been through war. Many generals disguised the soldiers at the garrison and brought them into Kyoto. However, these were just private matters and would never be put on the surface. If others did this, the censors turned a blind eye. Anyway, everyone knew to restrain themselves. But the censors were staring at the Jiang family. Of course, Jiang Nan would not admit that his guards were all soldiers who had been through war. Once they admitted it, it would inevitably make people all over the world think that the Jiang family was unscrupulous... He was not that stupid yet.

"What if someone asks why your guard is so powerful?" Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows.

Li Minde smiled slightly and said, "The guards in Prime Minister Li's mansion are naturally extraordinary."

Most of the people outside were not guards of the Li Mansion, and many details could not stand the scrutiny. Li Weiyang thought to himself: "Who are they?"

Li Minde lowered his voice and said, "The Eagles are responsible for killing people, and the Owls are responsible for handling the corpses. They will be cleaned up soon and will ensure that there will be no trace left. Don't worry, I'm just a joke. I won't really hand over so many corpses to Jingzhao Yin, otherwise this incident will cause a sensation tomorrow. In a quarter of an hour, even a drop of blood will not be left here."

Li Weiyang wanted to keep calm, but she couldn't calm down. Although Bai Zhi's expression was already dumbfounded, Li Weiyang's shock was not much better than her. She didn't know when such a group of people appeared beside Li Minde, and she didn't realize their existence in the past. No, not just her, I'm afraid that everyone in the Li family would still know nothing. Why... How could Minde recruit such people? Li Weiyang thought quickly in his mind that being able to kill Jiang Si's group of war-produced soldiers in one move is definitely not an ordinary guard, saying yes

It is no exaggeration to kill the ace. How could such a terrible group of people gather around Minde? You know, she once tried to use a large amount of gold to attract high-quality guards outside, but what she found was just a group of so-called masters who were greedy for money, which was not much better than the guards of the Li Mansion. Later she realized that such talents needed to be trained from scratch, but she did not have that time at all. Just relying on money to make money, she could not form a high-quality guard. But today, she actually saw a group of ace troops who killed people without blinking...

"I think you still need to explain it to me." Li Weiyang felt that she could no longer pretend to be indifferent. She must figure out the origin of Minde.

Li Minde lowered his eyes and said lightly: "My life experience may be very long. Are you willing to listen?"

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I am willing to listen. As long as you speak, I will finish listening no matter how long."

Li Minde waved his hand and said, "Zhao Yue, take Bai Zhi to the carriage behind."

Bai Zhi glanced at Li Weiyang and saw her nodding to her, so she followed Zhao Yue away. Outside the carriage, Zhao Nan was guarding the door, and the group of black-clothed killers had disappeared. It seemed as if they had never appeared before, and the remaining guards of the Li family looked at each other. Zhao Nan lowered his head, he would have a way to shut up these people, right?

"First of all, we must start with the previous emperor in Yuexi." Li Minde said calmly, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, without a trace of expression on his face. "He favored the young and beautiful Concubine Liu, neglected Empress Song, and believed that Empress Song used witchcraft to curse her intention to rebel. Not only did he issue an order to investigate the Song clan members, but he also hanged Empress Song. At that time, Empress Song's cousin Qian had just given birth to a little princess. Because she couldn't bear to plead for Empress Song, Concubine Liu killed her on the spot and sent the little princess she gave birth to to the cold palace. And Empress Song's birth

The prince, who was just two years old, was falsely accused by Concubine Liu of participating in the queen's rebellion case and was imprisoned with the Song clan. Because too many ministers pleaded for mercy, the prince survived, but was to be kept in detention. The Song family, who had accompanied him, was also broken into pieces, beheaded, and exiled one by one in just one year... In the end, the only prince was left. At that time, he gradually grew up, but no one taught him, and no one dared to tell him who he was, just let him be detained alone in the cell alone."

Li Weiyang looked at Minde's calm face, but he felt intuition that the Prince of Yuexi must have something to do with him.

"Concubine Liu later gave birth to a prince. The emperor was very happy and immediately joined her as the queen. He sent envoys to pray to the gods of the mountains and rivers. Who knew that the heavens did not follow the wishes of others. Before the full month, the dragon son died of a short life, and Empress Liu no longer had a pregnancy. Therefore, she was very jealous and hated the concubines for giving birth. If she knew which concubine was pregnant, she tried every means to force her to drink medicine to abortion. Due to her power in the palace, the concubines could only obey with tears. Later, Concubine Liu not only favored the crown.

The six palaces were powerful and even the emperor could not control her. The Liu clan had eunuchs and the government affairs outside, so the court officials dared not ask more questions. Several years have passed, and the emperor had no children. The court and the court and the government were worried about it. The ministers in Yuexi repeatedly asked for the emperor to give full play to their kindness, but he was getting older and had no way to have another son. At this time, he remembered the prince who had been detained..."

Li Weiyang subconsciously said: "So, was the prince taken back?"

Li Minde smiled and said, "After hearing about this, Empress Liu killed all the ministers who wrote the letter, and even blamed the emperor. This emperor... is actually very cowardly. He cannot control his own women, nor his throne, and even rely on Empress Liu to read the memorials. What can he do? He can only watch the upright court officials die. After this, Empress Liu hated the crown prince even more. She had saved his life before, but because many ministers believed that even though Empress Song was guilty of rebellion, the crown prince was innocent, so she could not kill him at the beginning. As for later, she completely forgot him, but after this incident, she remembered him again. This year, the crown prince was ten years old, but he was locked in a dark cell all day long. No one dared to tell him who he was, and there was not even a person who could speak."

"Empress Liu wants to kill him?" Li Weiyang was slightly moved. Yuexi is located in the south of Dali, with a vast land and abundant resources, and is very powerful. However, the relationship between the two countries is not close, and she has no way to know these royal secrets. However, most of the disputes over the throne in this world are cruel. This innocent prince is afraid that Empress Liu will not keep him.

"Empress Liu wanted to kill the prince at first, but... she and Empress Song had long hated each other for many years. Once she saw the little princess in pink and jade, and she couldn't help but think of Empress Song and Concubine Qian, and the hatred between them... So, she thought of a vicious idea that only she could think of." Li Minde lowered her eyes, as if she didn't want to talk any more, but had to continue saying: "She picked up the little princess in the cold palace and sent it to the cell to accompany the prince day and night, but she did not allow anyone to tell them her true identity. The prince was ten years old at the time, and the little princess was only eight years old. They naturally became each other's support and playmates."

Li Minde's expression became more and more unusual, and a hint of excitement appeared in his tone. Li Weiyang gently held his hand, his body shook, and he quickly returned to peace.

"Since he was two years old, the prince had never seen anyone. Of course he was very happy that he had a good friend and a good playmate, so in the next eight years, the only one who could comfort the prince was this little girl. No matter how strict the guards were to him, no matter how people feared him and did not play with him, the little girl always accompanied him and comforted him, and even began to take care of his life. In the prince's heart, the person who was waiting by his side day and night was his trustworthy support. So... By the time he was eighteen, the little girl had already turned sixteen...they...they...they...love each other..."

Li Weiyang was slightly stunned, and his fingers suddenly stopped. How could this be possible?! The prince and princess of Yuexi? They are half-sisters!

The sadness between Li Minde's eyebrows was like a cloudy day, and it was gathered together: "They didn't know their relationship, but they just snuggled up to each other to keep warm. As time went by, they naturally developed a very complicated relationship... The only person who knew about this was the jailer and Empress Liu who were always responsible for monitoring them. This was her purpose. She wanted to watch Empress Song and Concubine Qian jumped under the ground, making them uneasy when they died, and causing the royal family to suffer such stains for the rest of their lives! In this way, she felt happy and happy! Because her own son died, others said that Empress Song was cursing her underground, so she became more and more crazy and abnormal..."

"This Empress Liu is really not an ordinary madman. She is very crazy." Li Weiyang was extremely shocked. If he hated him, he would just kill him. But Empress Liu did the opposite, not only let the prince and the princess live, but also let them fall in love, making Empress Song and Concubine Qian die with her eyes open, and let them watch the people who should not want to love in the world fall in love with each other. Isn't this the best revenge?!

A layer of confusing hatred flashed in Li Minde's dark eyes, which seemed to have formed a thin layer of broken ice, condensed with layers of cold air.

"We have been together for eight years and love each other for three years. They have been together for eleven years. During these eleven years, they only have each other, so they only believe in each other. If possible, I would rather they never know the truth for the rest of their lives-" Li Minde's voice trembled, but he continued to say, "Until Empress Liu was seriously ill and could no longer control the government, the Liu family was boycotted by Pei Xiu, the general of the country because of being too arrogant. In order to deal with Liu, General Pei thought of the prince... Finally, those who were expected to be angry said that the prison had a magnanimous aura, so the emperor sent an envoy to pick up the prince, report it to the zongzheng and re-listed it into the royal family. At this time, the position of the prince was recognized by the royal family. At this time, Empress Liu, who was seriously ill, finally died. A month later, the emperor finally passed away because of his age and incompetence. After that, Pei Xiu supported the prince and inherited the throne."

This seems to be a happy ending, the bad guy dies, and the good guy seems to get a good result, but there is another person... Li Weiyang asked tentatively: "What about... what about the princess?"

"Pei Xiu married his daughter, Miss Pei, who was just fifteen years old, to the crown prince... No, he is now the emperor of Yuexi, so Miss Pei has also become Empress Pei."

Li Weiyang frowned slightly and said, "Did no one mention that princess? The emperor also forgot her?"

"The emperor took her into the palace, but he could not fulfill his promise and marry her as a wife, not because Pei Xiu was powerful or because he changed his mind, because he could not accept the fact that she was his princess, so she could only be named Princess Qixia and lived alone in the deep palace, but - they could not control their love for each other, so they kept secretly talking. This matter was finally discovered by Queen Pei a year later. She did not make any noise, but just cried to her parents' home quietly. Empress Pei's father, General Pei, who supported the emperor to ascend the throne, ordered the censor to report that the princess was over the year of marriage and should get married as soon as possible..."

Li Weiyang listened carefully. She probably guessed what happened next, but she didn't know what kind of relationship this matter had with Li Minde? Li Minde continued to say, "The emperor tried his best to stop it, and even promised Pei that as long as they didn't ask about the princess, he could make all the government affairs-"

This is to love beauty but not the country. This beauty is still the emperor's own sister. Li Weiyang didn't know whether this kind of relationship was correct, but the emergence of this relationship was not the mistake of these two young people... So she didn't know now whether to give them sympathy or something else. But she felt that she could understand the mood of the Emperor of Yuexi. Once the rumors spread out, the princess could only go to the death, so this relationship could not be made public.

"But Princess Qixia was unwilling to sacrifice for her like this, because she knew that he had a lot of things to do, including that the Liu clan members had not been completely eliminated, and their great revenge was not avenged. If they only care about themselves, it would be equivalent to disregarding the spirit of Empress Song and Concubine Qian... In addition, when she was in the palace one day, the emperor refused to date the queen, refused to accept the concubine, and ignored the criticism in the court, so she resolutely agreed to marry Cui Jing, a famous handsome man in Yuexi at that time."

"What happened later?" Li Weiyang asked softly.

"That Cui Madam is a legitimate descendant of the Cui family in Changling. He is both civil and military, gentle and elegant. He should have been a good match for the princess. But no one expected that the Cui Madam, who was very talented and well-behaved in the eyes of everyone, had heard many rumors from somewhere that the princess was inappropriate and shameless. Since getting married, he had never entered the princess' room, but he favored his concubine Taoye. Later, the emperor found out about this matter, of course, he was heartbroken, but he had to suppress such pain and warn Cui Madam to treat the princess well, but no matter what he did, he did.

When he did it, Mr. Cui would do his own thing. Even if the princess was sick in bed, he refused to see her. In the end, he thought that the princess had passed everything to the emperor, so he imprisoned her in the inner room without giving her food and water. After learning about it, the emperor forcibly brought the princess into the palace despite Queen Pei's obstruction... and exiled the princess who abused the princess and forced them to divorce. From then on, the princess lived in the palace as a solitary person... Seeing that the emperor could not stop the emperor, General Pei said that as long as the emperor was willing to give birth to a prince with the queen, he could leave the princess."

Li Weiyang was surprised. She didn't expect that even the Pei family would use their relationship to threaten them... Such despicable methods were not much better than Empress Liu at the time.

"The emperor had just ascended the throne and was in vain. Moreover, he could not let others threaten the princess' life anymore. So, he agreed. However, it was not just Empress Pei who gave birth to a prince. He took several concubines into the palace one after another. These women gave birth to princes. Of course, the Pei family was very angry, but he could do nothing, because those concubines were all from the Yuexi clan, and they could not easily move. Two of them were once firm supporters of the Pei family. However, when they all had princes as support, they naturally did not want to rely on the Pei family, but wanted to support and possess.

It is natural that the prince of his own blood ascended the position of the prince. The power of the Pei family was unknowingly divided by these people, and the emperor no longer had to be threatened by the Pei family..." Speaking of this, Li Minde suddenly sighed deeply, and then Ci Feng turned around and said, "The emperor waited for the court to calm down for a while, and he no longer favored the concubines in the harem, but focused on staying with the princess, while Empress Pei temporarily endured and pretended not to know anything. But soon, she couldn't sit still because the princess was pregnant, and the emperor was desperate to let the child be born."

Li Weiyang looked at Li Minde in shock. As a brother and sister, even if it is an ordinary family, falling in love is not something that cannot be tolerated by the world, let alone in the imperial family! They not only love each other, but also have to give birth to children... Once such news spread, it will be enough to destroy the entire royal family, but in this way, the Emperor of Yuexi actually asked his sister to give birth to this child. How crazy is this love?

Li Minde's eyes were very empty, as if he was looking at an unknown place. Perhaps, he could not face Li Weiyang's eyes at all, because no one in this world could accept such bloodlines, such terrible and dirty, no matter how the two people fell in love, they were both brothers and sisters, not only could they not be together, but they should not have a common bloodline... As long as they remembered, he only felt that other people's eyes were like a knife, which not only hurt his face, but also cut his heart into pieces.

"I think... Empress Pei will not tolerate such a child being born. It's not just her, but she is afraid that those opponents who originally remain silent will now collectively oppose it..." Li Weiyang was silent for a long time before saying this. This was almost certain. Moreover, she vaguely realized that the child was Li Minde, but she did not immediately say it out, but continued to listen.

"The things later were very simple. The emperor wanted to leave their blood, but this child was born cursed by God. The princess couldn't accept it at all. Since she was with the emperor, she was tortured by endless nightmares every night and fell into self-disappointment and pain. Later, the princess gave birth to a boy..." Li Minde's voice trembled, as exhausted and weak as a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness. At this moment, he could finally feel what despair was, and his whole body was almost gone.

It was like being inserted by countless nails, and the blood could not flow out, but the skin was hurt. Because of Wei Yang's concern, he understood the warmth and coldness of the world, but he had to tell her the truth, even if he lost this hard-earned concern, just for his insignificant self-esteem! Because he didn't want her to keep it in her bones for the rest of her life. Since she wanted to know his origin, he would tell her, but now, he began to regret it. He believed that with her intelligence, he had guessed who he was.

He never knew what beauty was, but many people in his impression had praised his appearance, saying that he was born with a different beauty than ordinary people. Even the third wife who adopted him once joked that he would fascinate a girl when he grew up. However, since he knew his life experience, he felt ashamed of himself. He didn't know how much of this extraordinary beauty came from sin, but he knew that this must have a close relationship with those two people. This made him unable to face himself, especially whenever he stood in front of Wei Yang, he felt that the blood on his body was so dirty.

Li Minde fell into deep thought again. Li Weiyang noticed his subtle mood and did not speak, but just looked at him quietly, with a calmness in his eyes.

"sorry."

Li Minde closed his eyes, but these three words were actually sent out from his mouth.

Then he turned to look at her and said softly, "I am that child." At this moment, he heard his soft voice, but he felt a creepy feeling.

Li Weiyang nodded and said nothing. She wanted to comfort her, but now she said something, as if he couldn't bear it. He smiled softly, and her smile was as pure as a sweet spring. He said, "After I was born, the princess went crazy. I don't know if she was really crazy or was driven crazy by those people, but she really didn't remember who she was, she didn't remember having a son, and she never even looked at the child. The emperor was worried that she would hurt her and guard her day and night, but no matter how he protected her, there were times when she was neglected. One day they found that she floated up from the lotus pond, floating on the water, and died strangely... The emperor was completely out of control. He killed many people in a row. He suspected everyone around him, and felt that they had killed the princess.

But no matter how many people he killed, the princess couldn't survive. He became more and more suspicious, feeling that he was not safe around him, and he wanted to give him a legitimate identity, so he ordered people to hand over the child to a loyal minister, ordered him to send the child to a distant village, and sent many protectors to take him back when he grew up. When they walked to a village named Du Yi, the minister stayed with the child. They lived in this place for only four years, but in the end the minister was killed. Except for one person, the protectors, all the other people died. Not only that, all four-year-old children in this village were slaughtered overnight, and everyone, including the emperor, thought the child was dead."

Li Weiyang said: "But you are not dead, and you are in Dali. When I saw the man in gray, I began to doubt your identity. That should not be the first time they were looking for you. They have already looked for you before? Is it? They want you to follow them and go back to Yuexi, but you refuse, why?"

Li Minde said: "If I said it was because I didn't want to leave you, would you believe it?"

Li Weiyang chuckled and said, "I believe... At first I thought you were hiding it from me, but now I have changed my opinion - you are a perfect fool! Do you think I will feel soft-hearted when you say that?"

Li Minde said: "I never thought of asking you to be soft-hearted."

That's true. He has always kept this life story hidden from it, not for gaining sympathy, but for him that he can't face it himself.

Li Weiyang said: "Do you care a lot? Do you care about your own life experience?"

Immediately, Li Minde's eyes became dim and dull: "No one in this world has such a bizarre life experience. Although I know that they are all right, they are abnormal, and this kind of relationship is also abnormal! I hate them too, why should I give birth to a me who is equally abnormal as them..."

Li Weiyang said: "Everyone can say this, but you can't, because they are your parents."

Li Minde raised his head and looked at Li Weiyang. She smiled and said, "I used to hate my mother very much. I think she is incompetent and cowardly. Since she can't protect her daughter, why should I give birth to me to suffer? But later, I found that my parents cannot choose. Although she can't even protect herself, she does her best to protect me. What can I complain about? The same is true for you."

Li Minde stared at her in a daze: "Don't you hate me? You know what I am like--" monster...

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "No one will reveal his scars to others, and no one wants to stain his reputation. I also have many hidden thoughts. Everyone in this world has them. They all hide them habitually, so no one can see them. You are just like us, an ordinary person. Why do I hate you? Aren't you living a good life now? So no matter how sad the past is, you can throw it away."

Li Minde's expression was stunned at first, then ecstasy. She didn't hate him, which made him seem to have returned from the dry desert to the spring when all things are revived... He gently leaned his head on Li Weiyang's knee and whispered: "Thank you..." He didn't hate me because of this, despise me...

But soon, his ecstasy mood was completely extinguished by Li Weiyang's words: "However, when the third lady adopted you, you were about one year old, but you said that the child stayed in the village until four years old... So how old are you? I remember once heard a traveling businessman say that the Emperor of Yuexi had only one princess sister, and she had been dead for fifteen years, so, are you sure you are really her son..." Li Weiyang's expression became very strange. If this rumor was true, then Li Minde's actual age was not what she thought before? Her mind seemed a little confused.

Li Minde's face turned red suddenly, he hesitated for a long time, and said, "I asked them this question. They said that it took a long time to find me because of this. The reason why those people missed me back then was because they killed four-year-old children..."

Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows: "So, what magic pill did you take, so it stopped growing for a while?"

Li Minde was stunned and said, "Where is this medicine in this world? It's born... I don't know why, maybe the blood relationship between the two people is too close, so I'm not normal at all, right?" His expression was a little nervous. Is it because his biological parents gave birth to him? His growth was much slower than humans. Those who killed four-year-old children in the village, and at that time he looked only one year old... so he escaped, and even before he arrived in Dali, he couldn't even call his mother.

Li Weiyang felt that this was strange. Perhaps, the heaven had already decided Minde's fate and saved him from danger. Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of those people...

"So, aren't you a child at all?" Li Weiyang's face slowly sinks.

Li Minde didn't expect to discuss this issue at the end and whispered: "It's about the same age as you..."

"How big is it about the same size!" Li Weiyang insisted unexpectedly.
To be continued...
