Chapter 281 Is This a Coincidence?

A Chen's mother is the daughter of the King of Chu.

Logically speaking, she should be considered a princess.

"But why did he fall to this point?" An Jiu didn't understand. She saw in Dream of the Red Chamber that even distant relatives like Granny Liu could benefit from the Jia family's influence, not to mention that A Chen was of royal blood of the Chu State?

There is no way it would have fallen to this point.

The emperor looked at An Jiu and explained to her patiently.

An Jiu summarized.

The Dongzhou continent is quite special. It is a large area with many countries and uneven development.

In Anjiu's opinion, Daxia is poor and backward, and many of its systems are imperfect.

For example, the palace was a mess, which was quite different from the strict hierarchical court system that An Jiu knew.

This is a manifestation of imperfect development.

The State of Chu was a semi-slave and semi-feudal country.

Even more backward and weird.

It learned some things from Daxia, while also retaining some things from their own country.

The legitimate sons and daughters born to the wife have noble status, and the illegitimate sons and daughters born to a concubine of status can still barely survive.

But if they are children born to slaves, they are also slaves.

"Then what is his relationship with Han Yun?" An Jiu asked.

The emperor motioned for Ah Chen to speak for himself.

Ah Chen kept his head down, and only after the emperor spoke did he say, "The Han Yun your majesty is talking about is my uncle."

An Jiu was stunned.

uncle?

So Han Yun is the prince of Chu?

A prince of the Chu State came to the Great Xia Palace to be a eunuch...

Unbelievable.

A Chen said that Han Yun's original name was Gao Xun, and his mother was just a slave. Because of her beauty, she was favored by the Emperor of Chu and gave birth to Gao Xun and his sister, who is A Chen's mother.

Because of their lowly status, the brother and sister grew up under the oppression of other princes and princesses, and lived a life worse than that of the slaves in the palace.

Gao Xun was unwilling to be bullied all his life. Moreover, there were many uncivilized small tribes around the State of Chu. Those leaders were beasts who ate raw meat and drank blood. When his sister grew up, she might be sent away in exchange for benefits.

So, he volunteered to come to Daxia to work as a spy, and his only request was that his sister should not be sent away.

"After my uncle left, they didn't send my mother away. Instead, they married her to a military commander. On the surface, the commander was a good man, but secretly he loved drinking and beating people. My mother was always beaten up by him."

Ah Chen paused and said, "Later, that beast also beat me. My mother was blinded in one eye by him in order to protect me. Since then, he has become more and more aggressive and even found a woman outside. This woman disliked my mother's status as the legal wife and instigated the beast to beat her."

Ah Chen suddenly smiled: "I also asked my mother why she didn't run away, but my mother told me that those people not only threatened my uncle with her, but also threatened her with my uncle. If she ran away, they would harm my uncle."

An Jiu's heart sank.

This is so similar to the original owner and An Tai.

The Chu people used this trick on all their spies, which is why, although there were so many spies, few of them would betray the Chu State.

They are not loyal to Chu, they just have no choice.

They would hold each other hostage until the Chu people squeezed out every last bit of surplus value.

An Jiu frowned, very angry.

Ah Chen continued, "My mother was framed by that woman for having an affair with someone, so the beast beat her up and threw her into the woodshed. My mother was seriously injured and died that night. Before she died, she told me that my uncle was in Daxia and asked me to come find him."

But Ah Chen was young after all and lacked social experience, so he was sold by kidnappers not long after he was released.

An Jiu was silent.

I don't know what to say.

She used to think these things were incredible, but here they were just normal. She thought Da Xia was already feudal and ignorant enough, but she didn't expect that there would always be darker places and darker things.

"How can we be sure that the uncle he is looking for is Han Yun?" After An Jiu asked, she suddenly thought of something. She pulled the emperor aside and asked, "Your Majesty, is Han Yun a real eunuch?"

The emperor doesn't know either.

He doesn't think so.

but……

Why did Xiaojiu ask this question? ? ?

He felt embarrassed and subconsciously looked down at his...

An Jiu was speechless.

I ask you whether Han Yun is a real eunuch, what are you doing?

Are you a eunuch!!!

However, she couldn't help but look down. The emperor exhaled, turned his head with a cold expression, and his two ears were red.

A Chen's appearance was a great surprise.

Han Yun was devoted to his sister. If he knew that his sister had been living like this for so many years and was now dead...

I don’t know if he will still fulfill his duties for the State of Chu.

Ah Chen was taken away. The emperor saw that An Jiu looked unhappy and knew that she was thinking about An Tai, so he asked her: "Do you think Ah Chen is telling the truth?"

An Jiu was stunned.

Is she being naive again?

I was so busy cursing the Chu people that I forgot to think about it. This is just Ah Chen's one-sided opinion...

"So is what he said true?" An Jiu knew that the emperor's old habit of keeping people in suspense had come back again, so he asked what he was talking about.

The emperor shook his head: "Half."

"What do you mean?"

Emperor: "You think he is a simple, kind and beautiful boy..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, An Jiu interrupted him: "I don't think he is a simple, kind and beautiful boy..."

At most, he is a beautiful boy...

The emperor laughed: "Well, well, anyway, this kid is not as simple as he said."

An Jiu looked at him, waiting for his answer. If he kept it a secret, An Jiu swore that he would smash his head even if he was the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor did not keep the secret this time.

He said: "What this kid said before was true, but after his mother died, he set a fire to the general's mansion. At first, everyone thought that the family died in the fire, but after the coroner performed an autopsy, he found that all these people died of poisoning."

An Jiu was surprised: "Your Majesty means that he poisoned and killed these people and set a fire. From this point of view, he is smart and cruel enough. How could he be sold to Meihua Villa..."

An Jiu paused, looked up, and met the emperor's smiling eyes.

"Coincidence?" she asked.

The emperor looked into her eyes and smiled gently: "Except for yours, I don't believe in any coincidences."

An Jiu "..."

I was inexplicably teased.

The boss behind Plum Blossom Villa is the emperor. Ah Chen somehow knew this, so he was "sold" here...

This is not a coincidence, this is carefully planned.

His goal was to get close to the emperor of Daxia and find his uncle.

An Jiu thought about it and decided that although this move was risky, it was the only way.

Otherwise, with his own strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to avoid the pursuit of the Chu people and find an uncle who was hiding deeply in the Daxia Palace and whom he had never seen since he was born.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense.

"Can he convince Han Yun?" An Jiu asked.

The emperor shook his head. He couldn't predict the human heart.

An Jiu glanced at the emperor and said, "Will your majesty let Han Yun go?"

Emperor: "Of course not, Han Yun must die."

Han Yun killed his mother, causing his father to die with hatred...

He will never let it go easily!

Except Xiaojiu, all Chu spies must die!!!
