Hua Manman was soundly asleep when she suddenly heard a cat meowing.

Meow!

Manman, someone is coming!

Hua Manman was awakened suddenly.

She opened her eyes and saw the little cat squatting next to her head, with two cat ears erected high, looking very alert.

Hua Manman opened the secret compartment, took out the dagger from inside, hid it in his sleeve, and reached out to push the door of the car.

The car door opened slowly, and she saw Ah Qi standing beside the carriage.

Ah Qi's right hand was still in mid-air.

He didn't seem to expect that the car door would open suddenly at this time, he was slightly taken aback, and then explained.

"I saw your husband-in-law and your father-in-law went to the woods just now, and I haven't seen them come back. There are many beasts in the woods. I'm afraid they will be in danger, so I came here to tell you about it."

Hua Manman looked out.

With a quick glance, Li Ji and Li Liao were indeed not seen.

At this time, Yueniang also woke up.

She sat up and asked with half-closed eyes.

"What happened?"

Hua Manman: "It's nothing, you can continue to sleep."

She grabbed a cloak and put it on, and jumped out of the carriage.

She planned to have someone look for Li Ji and Li Liao to see where they went?

At this time, Yueniang also got out of the car.

Hua Manman turned to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to continue sleeping?"

Yueniang gathered the coat on her body and said helplessly.

"You are awake, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Hua Manman said to Ah Qi.

"Thank you for your reminder. I'll send someone to find them right now. It's getting late. You'd better go to rest soon."

Ah Qi nodded in agreement.

Hua Manman turned around with Yueniang, and walked towards Bian Ziming's direction.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Hua Manman felt a pain in the back of her neck, as if she had been stabbed by something.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her eyes darken, and her body fell limply to the side.

Ah Qi quickly supported her.

Yueniang turned pale with shock: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Ah Qi: "I'll help her back into the car, you go and get someone to find her husband-in-law."

Yueniang was at a loss for what to do at the moment, so she hurriedly agreed upon hearing the words.

She hurried to look for Bian Ziming, wanting him to send someone to find the regent.

Ah Qi picked up the unconscious Man Man Da Heng.

However, he didn't carry Manman back into the carriage, but walked towards the resting place where the Xiliang mission was in stride with her in his arms.

...

In the woods.

Li Liao slowly revealed a secret that had been hidden for many years.

"Actually, you are not the biological son of me and the princess."

Li Ji originally wanted to say that he knew about this a long time ago.

But soon he realized that the subject of the other party's words was not only Li Liao, but Princess Rouwan as well.

In other words, not only is he not Li Liao's son, but he is also not the biological son of Princess Rouwan.

Li Ji froze in place.

Unable to accept this reality, he pulled the corner of his mouth into a blunt laugh.

"What are you kidding?"

Li Liao didn't mean to be joking at all.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the grown-up Li Ji in front of him, and said without hesitation.

"We have to go back to twenty-one years ago.

At that time, Prince Li Shu was framed and charged with treason.

The more than 300 people in the entire Prince's Mansion were all arrested, some died, some were exiled.

Even the prince's biological mother, Empress Ji, was forced to burn herself to death in Chaoyang Palace. "

Li Ji had heard about it.

Back then, Li Ying's biological mother's family was implicated in the rebellion case of Prince Li Shu, which led to the family's ruin, and then a series of tragedies occurred.

Li Ji frowned: "What does this have to do with me?"

Li Liao took a deep look at him.

"After the prince learned that he was doomed.

He escaped from Shangjing with the princess.

At that time, the princess was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth.

In order to keep the princess and the child in her womb, the prince used himself as a bait to lure away the pursuers.

In the end, the prince was arrested and died tragically in prison.

The crown princess had dystocia and hemorrhaged heavily. She tried her best to give birth to a son, and then passed away. "

Speaking of this, Li Liao seemed to be able to see the mournful and decisive appearance of the Crown Princess before her eyes.

She clutched Li Liao's sleeve tightly with her blood-stained hands, begging bitterly.

"This is the last bloodline of His Royal Highness, please, take good care of him."

It wasn't until Li Liao nodded and agreed with tears in his eyes that the princess was willing to let go and closed his eyes in peace.

When Li Ji heard this, his mind went blank.

He opened his mouth almost mechanically and asked.

"You mean, I'm actually the son of the former crown prince Li Shu?"

Li Liao gave an affirmative answer.

"Um."

Li Ji tried his best to keep calm: "If what you said is true, what about you and Princess Rouwan's child?"

Li Liao closed his eyes and said sadly.

"The princess took abortion pills when she was pregnant. Although she didn't abort the child, it caused great damage to the fetus in her womb.

In addition, she was born prematurely, and the fetus was very weak.

The baby died as soon as it was born. "

Li Ji never expected the truth to be like this.

Li Liao continued on.

"I was in distress at that time, I don't know how to settle you down?

Your identity is too sensitive. Once your identity is exposed, it will bring you a disaster of death.

It just so happened that the princess's child died, so I replaced that child with you.

In this way, not only does the princess not have to endure the pain of bereavement, but you can also grow up safely in the Duke's mansion. "

Everything really went as he expected.

No one knew Li Ji's real identity. Under Li Liao's careful teaching, he grew up smoothly and became an excellent young man in all aspects.

He fulfilled his promise to the princess.

Li Ji asked dumbly.

"Then is it true that your Ghost Wind Castle was besieged by the enemy?"

Li Liao's tone was full of guilt.

"In fact, I have long been aware of the subtle work around me.

But at that time the saint was already suspicious of me.

Even if I can return to Beijing safely after the war, the saint will not let me have a chance to die.

I simply did what I could, pretending to be surrounded by enemy troops, and then feigning death to escape. "

Li Ji was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

He laughed louder and louder, even to tears.

"Hahaha, it turns out that even my most trusted father is deceiving me!"

Back then he fled desperately back to Shangjing, knelt alone in front of the palace gate in the ice and snow, crying and begging the emperor to send troops to rescue Duke Zhen.

In the years that followed.

In order to avenge his father, he almost risked his life to fight with others on the battlefield, and tried his best to grow and become stronger.

In his heart, his father is a great hero.

He must keep in his heart every word his father said.

But did not expect.

The father he admired and trusted the most since he was a child is the biggest liar in the world.

Li Ji asked while smiling.

"Have you ever told me the truth?"
