Chapter 673: Secret Technique
"It's also my aunt."
"Oh......"
Nanyan remembered a little, and when he heard the courtiers discussing the policy towards the kingdom before, he mentioned a sentence or two, and the king of Nanli, Arislan, and the new emperor of the kingdom, Meng Ke, were cousins.
In fact, they are all qualified to take the throne.
Even, during the conversation between Zhu Feng and Ye Chen, Nanyan heard them discuss that this Meng Ke was actually the weakest and the most supple among all the contenders for the throne.
In other words - the least promising one.
But in the end, the one who got the throne was the one in front of him.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan hesitated for a moment at the suspicious man in front of him, and said, "She isβ"
"She was our father's youngest sister."
ββ¦β¦β
It is said that she is also one of my grandfather's favorite daughters. Her grandfather named her Tana, which means pearl. β
ββ¦β¦β
"She is a pearl on our grassland."
ββ¦β¦β
"However, this pearl has been missing for a long time, and none of us have seen her."
ββ¦β¦β
"I just heard that after her disappearance, my grandfather was very angry, and even ordered that no one in the country should be allowed to mention this daughter. Even he himself should have never given birth to this daughter. β
ββ¦β¦β
"It was only when we grew up and heard our fathers talk about it that we knew that we still had such an aunt."
Nanyan listened quietly and didn't speak.
But the eyebrows have frowned unconsciously.
Because of this situation, it is a little familiar.
In the Yan Kingdom, didn't Emperor Gao also order that no one should mention any news about his uncle, that is, the former Bowang Hou Sibo, and even, as if this person had never existed?
Both of them were treated like this.
Does it really matter?
Meng Ke said again: "The concubine also saw that the tablet was erected by your nominal uncle, Si Boyan, right?" β
Nanyan nodded.
Meng Ke said: "Then do you think there is any relationship between these two people?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Nanyan was silent for a while and said, "This, I can't see it." β
ββ¦β¦β
"That monument is so broken, at least, it has been standing for twenty years."
ββ¦β¦β
"After such a long time, it is difficult for me to see the relationship between the two people based on the words on it."
Munch looked at her for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "The concubine is very cautious. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Of course it's good to be cautious."
ββ¦β¦β
"Sometimes, though, when you don't have a clue at all, you might as well make a little guess."
As he spoke, he looked at Nanyan and said seriously: "Has the concubine ever guessed that she has anything to do with the two of them?" β
Hearing his words, Nanyan's heartbeat sank.
He's not letting himself guess.
Instead, he directly threw out a possibility to himself, and this possibility is also a possibility that Nanyan has thought about countless times along the way, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Si Boyan and Princess Tana......
himself, was brought back to Yanguo by Si Zhongwen......
That inexplicable letter......
Really, is it possible?
Nanyan subconsciously, her ten fingers were intertwined, as if she was in a disordered mood at the moment, and Meng Ke looked at her for a while, smiled and said, "Actually, the concubine doesn't have to worry. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Many things in this world have causes and effects. As long as we have gathered all the causes, the possible consequences of the event will naturally come out in front of us. β
ββ¦β¦β
"All one has to do is to prepare."
ββ¦β¦β
"That is, no matter what the truth is, you must face it bravely."
I can't see that this emperor of the country is talking a bit like a philosopher.
In short, he just doesn't look like an emperor.
Nanyan looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty seems to already know what this 'truth' is. β
Munch said, "I'm not an immortal, and I can only guess. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Only, if that speculation is trueβ"
He stared at Nanyan for a while, and then said, "Maybe we are relatives." β
ββ¦β¦β
Nanyan didn't speak, but looked at him with a complicated expression.
In fact, before this, she looked at the people here with vigilance, resistance, and even hostility, after all, she had been a native of Yanguo for more than 20 years, and even fought against the attacks of the people of Yanguo with Zhu Feng on the city tower.
Even though, the letter left by Si Zhongwen was faintly hinting at her that she might be from the country.
Self-awareness is also difficult to reverse.
However, Munch's words just now suddenly made her realize -
Her body may have the blood of the people of the country.
The smiling emperor in front of her may really be her relative.
Relatives who are connected by blood.
The heavy hostility in her heart, at this time, was a little inemanent.
This is the first time she has deeply experienced that kind of contradictory entanglement in her heart, which is far more elusive than love and hate, and even impossible to get out of.
After all, it's a matter of blood.
After being silent for a long time, she lowered her head and said sullenly: "These are things that cannot be confirmed. Your princess Tana is missing, and our Marquis of Bowang has been missing for decades. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I don't have any clues to prove my background."
Munch looked at her and said, "Clues, maybe not." β
ββ¦β¦β
"But the background may not be impossible to prove."
Nanyan was stunned for a moment and looked up at him: "What do you mean?" β
Munch said: "Our wizards have a secret art that can help us determine whether the blood of a person in the royal family is pure. β
ββ¦β¦β
"You also know that in the world, I don't know how many people want to pretend to be royal blood."
ββ¦β¦β
"Coupled with the frequent wars in our country, some members of the royal family will inevitably have accidents."
ββ¦β¦β
"There are a lot of people like that. So, the wizard's secret art has already helped us find out a lot of people. β
Nanyan looked at him and blinked.
She remembered that Arislan had told her about it before.
She couldn't help but be a little nervous: "Then, what kind of spell are you going to cast on me?" β
"You don't have to be nervous," Munch said. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of."
ββ¦β¦β
"Isn't it a good thing to be able to figure out who you really are?"
That being said, the premise is that she is not the concubine of the Yan Kingdom, but she may be a member of the Yan Kingdom, and may even be a member of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom.
She took a deep breath and said, "What is going to be done?" β
