Ji Wushang quickly ran up and picked up Huangfu Jun'an, "Nianlang, Nianlang, Mother misses you so much, misses you so much!"
"Mother, Mother, sob sob, does it hurt, Mother?" Huangfu Jun'an recalled the scene of her drinking the poisoned wine and then collapsing to the ground vomiting blood, and quickly hugged Ji Wushang to see her.
"Mother is alright, look, Mother is perfectly fine, isn't she?" Ji Wushang affectionately kissed him on the cheek a few times. "Is Nianlang injured?"
“Nianlang is alright! That uncle saved Nianlang.” Huangfu Jun’an grinned and said.
Ji Wushang paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "Okay!"
"Mother smells like Uncle!" Huangfu Jun'an's sudden remark almost made Ji Wushang vomit blood!
Hongfei and Cuiwu, who were overjoyed to see Ji Wushang and Huangfu Junan, were both stunned after hearing this sentence.
Yes, Ji Wushang has been gone for so long, about three days now. I heard that he has been in Tuoba Heyan's palace for these three days. Something must have happened there.
Does this mean the princess has let go of the prince?
Hongfei and Cuiwu exchanged bewildered glances. Their master had hoped Ji Wushang could forget him and start anew, but she had always been attached to him, filled with pain. And now, had she truly let him go?
"Nianlang, don't talk nonsense!" Ji Wushang's eyes turned cold. "I am your father's person in life and in death! When you grow up, your mother will go to a very, very far place to find your father, understand?"
Huangfu Jun'an looked at Ji Wushang's serious face and nodded somewhat timidly.
Hongfei and Cuiwu listened, thinking to themselves, "How could Ji Wushang, who loves their master so deeply, possibly fall in love with someone else? Even their beloved Second Master, Beigong Minhao, who caused them so much heartache, couldn't win Ji Wushang's heart. How could Prince Qingzhao possibly have it?"
If we're talking about getting it, then it can only be done by... forcing it.
Hongfei and Cuiwu exchanged a glance. The princess is so pitiful, her life is so tiring… No wonder she was saying that she really would wait until Nianlang grew up before going down to keep the master company?
Ji Wushang held Huangfu Jun'an in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, "Let's go in, Hongfei, Cuiwu!"
"Yes!" Hongfei and Cuiwu immediately went into the house and closed the door.
They all went into the inner room.
Ji Wushang held Huangfu Jun'an on his lap, his gaze resolute, and whispered, "Tonight, we'll steal the Pearl of the Yuehai Sea! We can't stay here any longer!"
"Princess, why?" Hongfei asked quickly.
Ji Wushang sighed, "Just do as I say! Once we succeed, we'll leave Qingzhao immediately!"
"The princess is leaving Qingzhao?" Cuiwu looked at Hongfei in confusion, then looked at Ji Wushang. "If the princess who was sent for a marriage alliance flees, it will probably cause a war between the two countries."
"I..." Ji Wushang choked up. Was he supposed to just stay here and wait for Tuoba Heyan to make a move on him again? He didn't know if Tuoba Heyan could find out anything, and he didn't have any evidence!
Hongfei looked at Ji Wushang, "Princess, has something happened?"
Ji Wushang nodded, and tears suddenly streamed down his face.
Huangfu Jun'an was surprised to see Ji Wushang crying. "Mother, Mother, why are you crying?" he said, and touched her face.
Ji Wushang quickly wiped away her tears, "Mother is not crying, Mother just got some sand in her hair and is rubbing it in. I'm not crying, Nianlang, be good."
"Then let's pat each other on the back, Nianlang!" Huangfu Jun'an said, quickly going to pat Ji Wushang on the back.
Ji Wushang looked at the adorable Huangfu Jun'an and smiled, "Okay."
"Nianlang, take a nap, be good, take a nap. Mother has things to do. Can you take a nap?" Ji Wushang said softly.
"Okay." Huangfu Jun'an agreed, and then closed his eyes.
Ji Wushang quickly carried Huangfu Jun'an into the beaded curtain, placed him on the bed, and then went out.
Hongfei and Cuiwu followed her.
Ji Wushang looked at them for a long time before finally saying, "I shouldn't have married into this family; I was forced into it!"
Hongfei and Cuiwu both nodded; they knew this.
"I've discovered that Tuoba Heyan is Cong's older brother! I can't marry his older brother, understand?" Ji Wushang tried his best to suppress his emotions; yes, he could collapse at any moment!
Hongfei and Cuiwu were taken aback. "How is that possible?" they said, and immediately looked at each other.
"His face is exactly like Cong's! The wound on his chest is also exactly like Cong's, but he said it was a sword wound, caused by practicing martial arts!"
Hongfei and Cuiwu were stunned again.
"I thought he was Cong, but he isn't!" Ji Wushang clutched his chest, feeling a tightness in his chest.
"Princess!" Hongfei stepped forward to help Ji Wushang up. Ji Wushang waved her hand and then sat down in a chair. "If it were him, if only it were him..." Ji Wushang's tears fell down in an instant. "As long as he doesn't die, even if he forgets me, I will try my best to make him remember! But, but, Cong, Cong was killed by my own hands...!" Ji Wushang was too grief-stricken to continue.
"Is it really Master?" Cuiwu looked at Hongfei in surprise. "The Qingzhao Prince wrote a prescription for the princess before, and the handwriting looked exactly like Master's..."
"Give it to me!" Ji Wushang immediately grabbed Cuiwu, desperately hoping that it was Nan Xuzong, and not Nan Xuzong's biological brother!
As long as he's not dead, as long as he's not dead!
He truly felt his warmth, his own feelings… Ji Wushang sobbed.
Cuiwu immediately took out the prescription from her bosom and showed it to Ji Wushang, who immediately opened it to read it.
“It’s his handwriting, it’s his handwriting…” Ji Wushang’s tears fell suddenly. “But, but, how could he be Tuoba Heyan! Could it be that, could it be that my twin brother’s handwriting, scars, and even smell are all exactly the same as his?”
"Such a coincidence, so many coincidences, is it really just a coincidence?" Ji Wushang clutched the prescription, his whole body trembling with sobs, "Cong, Cong..."
"Princess, don't cry. My father is already buried, how could he possibly come back to life?" Cuiwu couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at him.
“I need to ask Minhao! He should know everything about Cong! He buried Cong himself, didn’t he?” Ji Wushang suddenly looked at Hongfei and Cuiwu.
At this moment, Hongfei knelt down and said, "Princess, this servant has something to say."
"Speak!" Ji Wushang practically clutched the hem of her skirt.
“The grave that Second Master took you to was just a cenotaph. Second Master secretly gave him a water burial.” Hongfei lowered her head. “This servant accidentally saw Second Master place his body on a bamboo raft and then push it into the sea.”
"What?!" Ji Wushang gritted his teeth. Bei Gongminhao actually disposed of Nan Xuzong's body like this! Why did he do this? What gave him the right?! He actually created a cenotaph to deceive him!
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Ji Wushang shouted, scolding him loudly.
Hongfei kowtowed several times, "This servant is afraid, afraid that you will be too sad. We can only do as you ask, Second Master."
"You!" Ji Wushang almost coughed up blood! She clutched her chest. "That means Tuoba Heyan is very likely Cong!"
Hongfei and Cuiwu dared not speak.
"Summon Beigong Minhao here! I want to question him myself!" Ji Wushang finally couldn't hold back any longer, spitting out blood that stained his entire hand red!
"Princess!" Hongfei and Cuiwu immediately stepped forward.
"Go find Bei Gong Minhao!" Ji Wushang pushed them aside with one hand, not letting them get close!
Seeing this, Hongfei and Cuiwu had no choice but to quickly leave.
Ji Wushang gasped for breath, blood gushing from her mouth. She hurried to find medicine, but then saw Huangfu Jun'an standing at the doorway. "Ah! Mother! Mother!"
Ji Wushang was about to step forward when everything went black and he collapsed.
"Mother!" Huangfu Jun'an shouted, running out of the room. "Help! Help!"
What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?
Flying across the north and south, their old wings have weathered many winters and summers.
Joyful moments, bitter partings, and among them, foolish lovers.
If this is a dream, she would rather never wake up. If she doesn't wake up, she will not think, not love, not hate, not cry, not laugh, not rejoice, not grieve.
If this is a dream, then my wish is that he is in the dream, and that is enough.
Tuoba Heyan rubbed his temples slightly, took a deep breath, and then sighed.
He remembered that day when he went to ask the Queen Mother about something.
"Who told you that you are not my biological son?!" Empress Dowager Wang sneered. She stood up and glared angrily at Tuoba Heyan. "Don't believe a few words from others and start doubting the relationship between my son and me!"
"I have my own judgment! How could I be so easily doubted!" Tuoba Heyan sneered. "Then why do I look exactly like that Huangfu Zong?"
"Huangfu Zong? Who is that?" The Empress Dowager sneered. Could someone surnamed Huangfu be a member of the royal family of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty?
"Huangfu Zong, originally named Nan Xu Cong, was originally the heir of the Jin Nan Prince's Mansion of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty, and later became the fourth prince of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty, and was granted the title of Prince Zong! His birth mother was Consort Zhen Rong. I have investigated and found that Consort Zhen Rong was burned to death! That night, she had just given birth to a child. Am I one of the children? And the other one is Huangfu Zong?"
"How could such a thing be!" A hint of panic flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. "You were born after I carried you for ten months! Don't make wild guesses!"
Tuoba Heyan stared at her with his dark eyes. "Is that so?" He turned around and immediately walked out.
Empress Dowager Wang immediately sat down in her chair, saying, "You are my child, not just anyone! Yan'er, Yan'er!"
"Cough, cough!" Suddenly, a few coughs came from the bed. Tuoba Heyan immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over. "Princess Wushang, how are you feeling?"
This was his bedchamber. To take care of her and help her recover, he stayed up all night looking after her. He even brought his desk over; while she slept, he would sit at the desk and review memorials. When it was time, he would go to care for her, feeding her food or medicine.
When she cried, he would hold her or sit quietly by the bed watching her, and then wipe away her tears.
Tuoba Heyan had never imagined treating a woman with such care, especially one who had been married before and had children!
Tuoba Heyan took a deep breath and gently stroked her dark hair. Her face was as pale as paper, which truly broke his heart!
Every cough felt like a knife cutting into his heart. Yes, his heart ached terribly! His heart seemed to be beating, but it was never perfect; a piece was missing!
Ji Wushang slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a pair of dark eyes and a golden mask.
It was him. Was he Nan Xuzong, or Nan Xuzong's older brother...? Ji Wushang choked up, unable to speak.
"Your body is weak, so don't get angry, don't get upset, and don't be sad, okay?" Tuoba Heyan said gently, his eyes seeming to drip with water.
Ji Wushang looked at him, her heart in turmoil. Beigong Minhao hadn't buried Nan Xuzong's body, but instead chose a water burial—was this really him?
Seeing that she didn't resist his embrace, Tuoba Heyan was overjoyed. He reached out and wiped away her tears, but Ji Wushang flinched. However, his technique was so familiar!
"I want to see the scar on your chest again," she said after a long silence, looking at him.
Tuoba Heyan closed his eyes, then opened them again. "Okay." He also wanted to clarify that he wasn't that Nan Xuzong! But sometimes, it felt like there were so many images in his mind, with a woman, maybe the woman in front of him?
It's so blurry, I really don't know what happened!
Moreover, why does he claim to be Nan Xuzong's twin brother?
Ji Wushang looked at him, her mood much calmer. This was thanks to the calming medicine that Tuoba Heyan had given her.
Tuoba Heyan held her in his arms and leaned her against the headboard. Then, he got up.
Standing in front of her, he took off his belt and then untied his robe.
Ji Wushang watched his movements, her expression unchanged, but tears streamed down her face again. She covered her mouth and cried, "The way you took off your clothes was exactly the same as his!"
Tuoba Heyan was taken aback.
The movement froze in mid-air, and for a moment, no one knew where to put it!
