I think after this day's huge change, he should be able to face anything or any of my words, but when I asked this, I still heard his breath sinking, and the atmosphere in the room sinking.

"Is this what you should ask?!"

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and indeed saw that his face was filled with anger and his eyes were cold.

However, perhaps because of the blood loss, his face was pale and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, which reduced his aggressive momentum on weekdays. I was not that afraid of him anymore, so I took a deep breath and said calmly: "I just want to know the truth about this matter."

"The truth? What I said is the truth!"

“…”

When I heard his answer, my doubts became deeper.

He asked me to call Wei Ningyuan to Xi'an Prefecture to pick him up. He knew who the fourth son of the Tian family was. But how could he know it at first glance? If I was right, Zhao Shuyuan gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor in a temple in a suburb, and then he had never seen his younger brother at all.

How could this decades of separation be made possible for him to "know at a glance"?

I bit my lower lip and said, "What Your Majesty said is the truth for the people, but I-I want to know is the truth."

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, his eyebrows frowned.

Suddenly, I felt the breath in his body shake. I had packed up all the things. He slowly put his hands back, then stood up with the arm of the chair, and I hurriedly followed him. He walked to the center of the room, stood with his back to me for a long time before saying, "The truth?"

“…”

"What do you mean by the truth?"

“…”

I stood behind him and looked at his broad shoulders and said softly: "Your Majesty, Pei Ningyuan, is he really the fourth son of the emperor?"

“…”

This time, a long and long appeared in the room, so long that I almost thought there would be no boundary silence, and he stood in front of me so quietly that there was nothing but feeling his breath.

But I still waited patiently.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard him take a long breath and said, “I don’t know if he is.”

“…!”

My heart sank. I thought he would give some evidence or say something to hide the past, but I didn't expect that he would admit it like this.

He doesn't know.

The so-called "you can tell at a glance" has no meaning at all!

I felt anxious and immediately walked around and walked in front of him, saying anxiously: "Then, why did Your Majesty announce in public that Wei Ningyuan is the fourth son of the emperor? Why don't you find out clearly?"

His eyes seemed a little confused. This was the first time. When he lowered his head and looked at me, he seemed a little dazed and said, "Check, how do you check?"

“…”

"Who asked me to investigate what happened decades ago?"

I suddenly became even more anxious: "But, Your Majesty can't just do this, just——, after all, he is the fourth son of the emperor, and after all, he is King Ning!"

He looked down at me: "The fourth son of the emperor...King Ning..., at this time, it doesn't matter who it is; it's only useful to me that what is most useful to me."

"It's useful to you...?"

His eyes narrowed slightly and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I can enter Xi'an Prefecture at this time? How can I resolve the crisis in an instant?"

“…”

"If the fourth son of the emperor is not Pei Ningyuan, do you think I can still stand here and talk to you now?"

“…”

"Liu Qinghan, can you still spend this night?!"

“…”

I was speechless immediately.

He was right. This time, he was able to defeat the conspiracy between Wang Yilang and Helanbi with a few words because a key figure, the fourth son of the emperor, Ning Wang, was this person who disrupted the plan of Miaosanmen and made Wang Yilang and Helanbi deal with it in a bad way, and also gave the court's men a chance to take advantage of it.

Indeed, for him, the existence of this "King Ning" has made great contributions!

Instead, King Ning made great contributions.

I was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Did Your Majesty choose Wei Ningyuan because of this?"

“…”

"But even if...even if it's really Qinghan, he will definitely stand on His Majesty's side."

“…”

"The reason he did those things before was to prevent His Majesty from being controlled by the people of the Miaosanmen, so he wanted to control His Majesty's saint. He might have committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, but he was really devoted to His Majesty."

“…”

If I was usually cold in front of him, Pei Yuanhao would be furious and lose his temper with me. But this time, he was unexpectedly calm, and even his eyes flashed slightly. After a long time of silence, he said, "This time, it was me who misjudged him."

“…”

Unexpectedly, he would say the word "wrong".

Although he is not admitting his mistake, it is already very difficult for an emperor to say that he is "wrong".

I was speechless for a moment and just looked up at him.

And the next moment, he said: "But no matter how he treats me or how he stands on this side, the identity of the fourth prince cannot fall on him!"

I was slightly surprised: "Why?"

"Why? Why do you ask me?"

“…”

He seemed to find it a little funny, and his lips curled up slightly, looking down at me: "Yan Qingying, why did you and him have been doubting for so long, and even told me the causes and consequences, but didn't really reveal a word to him?"

"…!" My heart trembled.

He lowered his head, his forehead almost touching my forehead, his eyes were so close that I once again felt that powerful sense of oppression.

He said, "Why?"

“…”

My voice was hoarse in my throat.

There are some things that have been hiding in the deepest part of my heart. At this moment, because of his simple question, it is constantly surging upwards, as if it is about to break through something.

But I subconsciously took a step back.

I subconsciously wanted to seal those things into the deepest part of my heart again, so that I would not let them see the light of day.

But Pei Yuanhao narrowed his eyes slightly and moved closer. His sinister eyes looked straight into my eyes, almost looking into my heart—

"Because, you're scared!"

This sentence seemed to completely tear the seal in my heart in an instant, and it was a rough tear. I only felt a dazzling light flashing in front of me, even making me feel a little unsteady in my standing. I subconsciously retreated and almost fell down with my steps.

And this time, he reached out and grabbed my arm, and pulled me in front of him with force.

I was a little in a hurry and even my breathing was messy, but he was much calmer than before. He looked down at me and said word by word: "I know, what are you afraid of."

“…”

"Because he has married Yuanzhen!"

“…!”

It seemed that an invisible needle pierced heavily into my chest, and even pierced through my chest at that moment. The pain from my limbs and five bodies suddenly swept me in like waves in the sky.

I lost consciousness and opened my eyes wide in confusion and looked at his dark pupils.

Pei Yuanzhen, this name seems to be no longer a name. Behind this name is a bright red room, a woman covered in blood, a hopeless relationship...

But in the eyes of all the people in the world, she is Qinghan’s wife.

After saying this name, Pei Yuanhao's eyes became even more cruel. The hand holding my arm kept exerting force. His eyes and words seemed aggressive, and he looked straight at me: "You know very well that he and Yuanzhen are husband and wife. Although Yuanzhen died on the wedding night, they had already entered the wedding chamber!"

“…”

"In the eyes of the world, they are husband and wife!"

“…”

"Now, do you want to announce Liu Qinghan's identity as the fourth son of the emperor in front of the world?"

“…”

"You want to tell the people in the world that this King Ning once married his sister, right?"

His voice was like thunder, constantly echoing in my ears, and the facts in the words were about to shatter me, and my body, and even my mind, would almost turn into powder at this moment.

The facts that I didn't want to face and did not dare to face were clearly told by him at this moment.

Yes, I dare not.

I'm scared.

Qinghan married Pei Yuanzhen. If he really proved his identity as the fourth son and proved that he was Pei Ji's son, then—

A brother married his sister!

Although I know very well that before that night, they both treated each other with courtesy, Qinghan had never made any usurpation to Pei Yuanzhen. That night, they had no time to do anything, so Miaoyan entered their bridal chamber. Afterwards, Pei Yuanzhen was killed by Gu Ping, who was ordered by Pei Yuanxiu. But—

However, they are already married after all.

After all, they are already a couple!

In the eyes of the world, the marriage that was originally completely turned into a tragedy of human relations!

Thinking of this, it seemed that millions of ice-condensed needles pierced into my body. I trembled so much that my whole body almost broke, and my face suddenly turned pale. Pei Yuanhao looked down at me and said in a deep voice: "Can you accept such a truth?"

“…”
