Chu Zhao ate and drank enough and took another nap. When he woke up, it was already dark outside.

She has always been open-minded and never takes advantage of others except Xiao Chi.

Therefore, when she can't change the status quo for the time being, she will let herself be content with the situation.

She was really tired during this period, so she took this opportunity to take a good rest.

Not everyone has the mentality like her to regard being kidnapped as a big fake.

She opened her eyes, sat up and stretched in the darkness.

It was getting dark so soon. Was it time for her to have dinner?

Just as he was about to ask someone to bring food over, the door creaked open and someone appeared at the door holding a candle.

The room lit up instantly, and Ao's voice came immediately.

"Kings!"

"A'ao?" Chu Zhao looked at the young man's eager face illuminated by the bright light and jumped out of bed in surprise to greet him, "Why are you here? Where are the prince and the others?"

"I came here on my own, and they don't even know." Ao said, glancing to the side from the corner of his eye.

General Timur stood at his right hand holding a candlestick.

Chu Zhao also glanced at General Timu and sighed helplessly.

She knew that this child was the most impulsive for her, and he must have come single-handedly as soon as he received the letter.

He really didn't tell anyone when they didn't let him take care of anyone. How could he be so honest?

Now, like her, he has also fallen into the control of General Tiemu. Let alone saving her, he may not be able to save himself.

"Now that you're here, come and sit down first!" Chu Zhao said, "General Timu tried his best to trick my guards into coming. Can you tell me the reason now?"

General Timu looked at her and then at Ah Ao. Just when he was about to speak, Ah Ao said first, "I will tell the king myself to stand down first!"

General Timu was startled and stood still.

A'ao lowered his face and said, "Am I not your young master? Why don't you listen to me?"

General Temu was speechless.

Ao has already said the same thing once.

He didn't want to bring him here just now, so he asked him the same question.

After General Tiemu hesitated for a moment, in order to make A'ao believe what he said, he had to compromise and handed him the candlestick: "Young master, I'm waiting outside."

After saying that, he left and closed the door.

"What young master?" Chu Zhao asked in surprise, "A'ao, what happened? Why did he call you young master?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, sit down first and then talk."

Aao helped her walk back to the bed and sit down, put the candlestick on the bedside table, and pulled the quilt to surround her.

Chu Zhao sat still and felt a little strange when he saw that he didn't look panicked at all.

"A'ao, tell me what's going on." Chu Zhao urged.

Aao sat down next to her on the bed and whispered: "The general outside said that I am the illegitimate son of the old King Beidi."

"What?" Chu Zhao almost couldn't control himself and jumped out of the bed, "Whose illegitimate child are you talking about?"

"Old Beidi King." A'ao repeated, "That General Timu said that I am the illegitimate son of old Beidi King and a Han woman from Liangzhou."

Chu Zhao still couldn't believe it. He stretched out his hand to hold A'ao's face and looked at him carefully: "How is it possible? How do you look like a Beidi person?"

"Maybe I look like my mother?" Aao said.

Chu Zhao's hands froze, he held his face and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"No." A'ao said, "I just reasoned based on the king's words. Appearance can't mean anything. Besides, we have never seen what King Beidi looks like."

"It makes sense." Chu Zhao's hands came down to hold his shoulders, "What did Timu say to you? Tell me exactly, and I will analyze it for you."

A'ao nodded, told Chu Zhao what General Timu said to him from beginning to end, and then asked: "Does the king think his words are credible?"

After hearing this story, Chu Zhao was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The feud between the old King of Beidi and his sons was not bad. After all, Beidi is a nation that advocates force and the strong is the king. The royal family will do anything to fight for power and gain, and fratricide is the most common operation.

What she couldn't accept was Ao's life experience.

From the day they met A'ao, this young man's life experience has been a mystery. They have made countless guesses about it. When they escaped from Jingnan Palace, she even wanted to take him to Liangzhou to search for memories.

But now, this young man who had been silently accompanying her suddenly changed and became the illegitimate son of the old Beidi King. She really couldn't accept it.

If A'ao is really the prince of Beidi, the hatred between them will inevitably be mixed with national hatred and family hatred, and they will no longer be as close as before.

What's more, Beidi and Dayan have been enemies for generations. If Aao returns to Beidi, he may one day become her enemy and lead the Beidi people to attack Dayan.

How should they face it then?

She had half-jokingly told Ao before that if one day he could cut off the head of King Beidi, he could become a general like Xiao Chi.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, things have changed drastically.

Aao actually became half-brothers with King Beidi.

Does nature want to trick people like this?

Chu Zhao smiled bitterly, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Ao.

But even so, she still analyzed it carefully for him: "I'm not sure whether General Timu was really entrusted by the old Beidi King to go to Liangzhou to find you, but at least Liangzhou is consistent with your memory. It matches."

A'ao was originally brought to Yunzhou from Liangzhou by a horse dealer. He knew how to train horses and martial arts, so he should not have been an ordinary orphan.

Some time ago, he remembered his mother again in his dream, and even unintentionally hummed a folk song from Liangzhou.

On the night when the Beidi Army was repulsed, he said that he seemed very familiar with this place, and also said that General Timu seemed to know him.

At that time, they were all wondering what was going on. Now it seems that Aao may have lived in Liangzhou and Beidi.

The most important thing is that if Aao is not the prince of Beidi, there is no reason for General Timu to take such a big risk and trick him into meeting him.

"But, if what he said is true, why was I taken from Liangzhou to Yunzhou by the horse dealer?" Aao raised a new question.

Chu Zhao couldn't explain it, so he could only guess: "Is it possible that when the third prince set fire to your room, someone rescued you, got another corpse to pretend to be you, and then secretly sent you out of Beidi. You will find him when you return to Liangzhou." Your mother was accidentally injured and lost her memory during the process, so she was inexplicably sold as an orphan to the Prince of Jingnan?"

This guess is not unreasonable, but if you want it to be true, you must admit that Aao is the illegitimate son of the old Beidi King, and that he really lived in the Beidi Palace.

Aao discovered this immediately and his eyes darkened: "So, does the king still believe what General Timu said?"
