Lu Ze looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Brother Qi Wang, I really don't know A Ping's identity." Qi Yuan looked at Lu Ze sternly: "Don't think that if you have Lingling in the future, I will definitely marry my sister to you?" Lu Ze said quietly: "Brother Qi Wang, A Ping's identity is just speculation between me and the princess. A Ping has never admitted our guess, forgive me..." Qi Yuan poured a glass of wine for Lu Ze and said, "Then tell me your guess!" Lu Ze took the wine with both hands respectfully and said softly: "Brother Qi Wang is smart and must have guessed something..." Qi Yu'an asked: "A Ping's identity is related to His Royal Highness?" Lu Ze took a sip of wine and said, "Lingling said that during the Xinwei year, everyone called A Ping her princess." The wine cup in Qi Yuan's hand fell to the ground, "What?" Lu Ze said: "Among the royal family, the only one who is similar in age to A Ping is His Royal Highness, and coincidentally, when His Highness the Prince was just born, he was almost replaced by a palace maid, so... I guess A Ping is my grandmother's daughter! " Qi Yu'an lowered his voice and said, "Lu Ze, do you know what nonsense you are going to say? This will involve your Princess Pingrou's mansion and the entire Lu family."
Lu Ze put down his wine glass and said, "How could I risk the lives of my whole family and talk nonsense?" Qi Yuan frowned and said: "If A Ping is really a princess, how could she be willing to be my concubine before?" "The fact that she is hiding from Qin Feng, who is willing to marry her, but would rather be your concubine shows that she may be the princess." Lu Ze looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "If there is a family in this world that can protect her and restore her identity, it is only Prince Qi's Palace." Qi Yu'an took another wine cup, filled a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp: "So, is the origin of A Ping, whom Your Majesty the Queen Mother despises, turned out to be their two daughters? Why didn't A Ping say anything about this? Why don’t you go and ask for justice?” "There is no basis or evidence." Lu Ze only said, "A Ping is afraid that it will be too easy to say anything. Once this matter is revealed, either A Ping will die or the court will be in chaos." "So A Ping even deceived you." Qi Yuan frowned and said, "I understand. I will take A Ping back to Beicheng tomorrow." Lu Ze was puzzled: "Why? Just came to Shengjing City and are you going back to Beicheng?" Qi Yu'an said: "The prince doesn't know A Ping's identity now. What if he finds out one day? Only when A Ping is in Beicheng can I rest assured to protect her safety." Lu Ze said: "After all, the climate in Beicheng is not as good as that of Shengjing City. If you want to raise a baby, it is better to raise a baby in Shengjing City. I don't think the prince and the Qin family will discover A Ping's identity. They have long thought that A Ping is dead." Qi Yu'an said: "I can't watch A Ping get into danger. Only Beicheng is the safest." Lu Ze no longer tried to persuade her, "Before you return to Beicheng, please take A Ping into the palace to see His Majesty. Your Majesty has been in very poor health recently." Qi Yuan turned the wine cup in his hand and finally nodded and said: "Okay." Qi Yu'an returned to Ah Ping's room. Ah Ping stood up and greeted Qi Yu'an and said, "Your Majesty." Qi Yu'an held A Ping's wrist tightly, pulled her into his arms and whispered, "Are you wronged?" "My lord?" Qi Yuan asked in a low voice: "Do you feel aggrieved to see His Highness the Crown Prince today?" A Ping raised her eyes and met Qi Yuan's eyes and said, "Did Prince Lu tell you?"
"If he doesn't tell me, he can't marry my sister." A Ping said: "No, they misunderstood. The identity they guessed is wrong. I am really an orphan in a mountain village. Really, Your Majesty, I have no identity at all. They are making up nonsense." Qi Yu'an put his hand on A Ping's belly, "Ping Ping, you can trust me completely, I will definitely protect you and our son." Qi Yu'an looked at A Ping with determination: "I hope you can treat me Open your heart.” A Ping whispered: "I actually just found out about my identity not long ago. If my aunt hadn't been very good to me since I was a child, and Lu Ze and I look very similar, I wouldn't have believed it was true." Qi Yuan looked at A Ping, and it turned out to be true... "Pingping, why didn't you tell me earlier but chose to fake your death and leave?" A Ping said slowly: "You didn't like me at all at that time. I can't guarantee whether you would protect me... You still thought I was a trouble. I didn't tell you later because Auntie was afraid..." A Ping raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yu'an: "I'm afraid that your Qi family will be disloyal and use my status to rebel." "Your aunt is really worried." Qi Yu'an said, "If the Qi family had a disobedient heart, as early as forty years ago, the whole world would have been named Qi. I, Qi Yu'an, am brave and dare not compare myself to my grandfather, but I can still match my loyalty." Qi Yuan said to A Ping: "Now that you are pregnant, your safety is still important. I plan to take you back to Beicheng first. As for the prince messing up the royal bloodline and seeking justice for you, I will wait until your child is born." A Ping said repeatedly: "I don't want justice, Your Majesty, my aunt experienced the war [-] years ago. She said that at that time, people could only eat dirt, and even the edible leaves and bark were eaten. It's over. The days during the war were really rough. Prince Qi had stabilized the country. Now I don't want to see the flames of war return to the world. If His Highness the Crown Prince is a good emperor, it doesn't matter whether he is of the Zhao family's blood. As long as the country is safe, that's enough. " Qi Yu'an looked down at A Ping and said, "You are too kind, Ping Ping. The Qi family army will not let a prince who does not belong to the Zhao family bloodline ascend the throne as emperor!" "Your Majesty!" A Ping held Qi Yuan's hand and said, "I just want to be safe. What's the use of telling my identity? Just because I look similar to Lu Ze, who can believe that I am a princess? I'm afraid I just know Let the Qi family be accused of being disloyal to His Majesty." A Ping looked at Qi Yu'an sincerely, "Your Majesty, I just want to live a peaceful life with you and our children. I don't want the condescension of the princess. I just want our family of three to be happy." Qi Yu'an said: "Things are not as simple as you think. His Royal Highness is not of the Zhao family's blood. Do you think he can make his own decisions after he ascends the throne? He will only be used by Uncle Qin. When the prince was young, His Majesty was afraid that if something happened, the other princes would poison the prince and blindly cultivate the Qin uncle's family. Nowadays, Qin's uncle has great military power and great power in the court. Once Zhao Chong ascends the throne, he will be nothing more than a puppet emperor of the Qin family. If you weren't pregnant, you should have exposed it now, but you are still pregnant, so you shouldn't have excessive mood swings. We can wait until your child is born. " Qi Yu'an said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will follow me into the palace to meet Your Majesty and Your Majesty. After meeting Your Majesty and Your Majesty, we will set off back to Beicheng." When A Ping heard that his majesty was going to be his wife, she no longer tried to dissuade Qi Yuan, but she felt even more nervous. Those were her biological parents, but she had never seen them. …… When Lu Ze returned to Chunjiang Courtyard, Lingling had already fallen asleep. Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze coming back and asked, "Have you told my brother A Ping's identity?" Lu Ze said helplessly: "If you don't tell him, he won't allow you to marry me, so I have to tell him." "What did my brother say?" Qi Yuning asked.
Lu Ze said: "He said he would take A Ping back to Beicheng first. As for what will happen in the future, Brother Qi Wang did not discuss it with me." Qi Yuning looked at the dark night outside and said, "With my brother's temper, he will definitely not see anyone who is not of the Zhao family ascend the throne, but now the Qin family's power in Shengjing City cannot be underestimated. If the thieves are to be stolen, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to put things right after the dragon turns into a phoenix." Lu Ze said: "The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. Take one step at a time, but it will indeed not be stable in the future." Qi Yuning looked at the sleeping Lingling worriedly, "If there is really no stable life, I hope Lingling can go back and stop staying here."
