Qiao Yuniang said gently, "I was originally living with my parents in the Northern Frontier. Then the war broke out in the Northern Frontier, and I ended up in Daxia by accident."
Sang Qi deliberately slowed down his pace and secretly looked behind him.
When the second prince saw the two people start to walk, he picked up Xia Miaoyuan, tiptoed into the grove nearby, and followed them quietly.
"That's such a coincidence." Sang Qi said with a smile.
"I am also from Northern Frontier. I followed my current master when I was young, and later followed her to marry in Daxia."
As Sang Qi spoke, he secretly observed Qiao Yu Niang's reaction.
Qiao Yuniang's steps suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Really? That's such a coincidence." Qiao Yuniang's voice trembled slightly.
Sang Qi continued, "Also, I discovered that you look a lot like my master."
After hearing these words, Qiao Yuniang was stunned. Her feet stopped where they were and she refused to move.
"Who is your master?"
Sang Qi said in a clear voice: "My master is the Queen of Daxia, Xiao."
When Sang Qi said this, he could clearly feel Qiao Yuniang tremble all over.
"Princess Zilan!" Sang Qi approached Qiao Yuniang, stared into her eyes, and called in a low voice.
"It's you! Princess Zilan, right?"
Qiao Yuniang stared at Sang Qi blankly, her eyes instantly reddened, "I... I..."
At this time, the Second Prince and Xia Miaoyuan, who had been hiding in the dark and observing secretly, suddenly ran over.
"You are our aunt Xiao Zilan, right?" The second prince said in a firm tone.
Xia Miaoyuan looked up hard to observe Qiao Yuniang's reaction, only to see that she was already in tears and unable to control herself.
"Aunt, aunt." Xia Miaoyuan called her in a baby voice.
"You know what? These past few years, everyone couldn't find you and was very worried about you. Mother, uncles, grandparents, they missed you day and night."
"My grandmother became so worried that she became ill and nearly died."
When Qiao Yu Niang heard this, she burst into tears, but she was in the palace at the time, and she was afraid that crying too loudly would attract other people, so she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, making a "wooooooo" sound.
This was not the place to talk, so the Second Prince and his entourage quickly took her to the side courtyard where they were staying temporarily.
In the second prince's room.
Qiao Yuniang had already cried, and Sang Qi helped her wipe away her tears.
Everyone stared at her intently.
"Yes, I am Xiao Zilan." She said word by word.
"Auntie!"
"Auntie!"
"Princess Zilan!"
Several people cried with joy and hugged Xiao Zilan tightly.
After a long time, they finally calmed down a little.
Xiao Zilan held Xia Miaoyuan in his arms, pressed her rosy little face against his, and said, "I heard that my sister had given birth to a daughter as lovely as ice and snow, and I wanted to go see her. But I never made it to Chengdaxia."
"Today, I suddenly heard that Princess Anguo of Daxia had arrived. I almost jumped for joy."
Xia Miaoyuan touched Xiao Zilan's face and said, "So, you specially prepared Da Xia's food for me and brought it to me personally. You wanted to take this opportunity to see if I was right, right?"
Xiao Zilan smiled and nodded, "Miao'er, you really look like your sister, so pretty and cute. When I saw you for the first time when I walked into the room, I almost laughed out loud with joy."
As she said that, she couldn't help but kiss Xia Miaoyuan on the lower cheek.
Then, she stared at the Second Prince for several more times, then reached out and stroked his head: "Chengnian, you've grown up so much, you've become a passionate man, and you can even lead troops into battle. You're truly worthy of being my child."
The Second Prince wiped his tears and said, "Aunt, what on earth is going on? How did you end up in Dai Viet? And in the palace, becoming a maid?"
The second prince asked a bunch of questions in one breath.
Sang Qi smiled and advised, "Second Prince, please ask slowly. You've asked so many questions at once that Princess Zilan is confused."
Xiao Zilan's eyes were red as she said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you everything."
"Back then, my brother came to pick me up before the war, but my husband wouldn't let me leave and even sent soldiers after us."
"When I was halfway there, a sandstorm suddenly hit. My horse got scared and threw me off, and I passed out."
When the Second Prince and his companions heard this, their hearts tightened.
"I don't know how long it took before I woke up. I was so weak that I couldn't even walk. I found myself in a hole in the ground."
"I heard people calling out for me, searching for me, but I didn't have the energy to shout out. Soon I passed out again."
"When I woke up again, I was already on a freight wagon. It was a caravan that saved me."
"By that time, the caravan had already reached the territory of Dai Viet."
Sang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Princess Zilan is truly a blessed person."
Xia Miaoyuan blinked curiously: "Aunt, why don't you go back to Northern Xinjiang or Daxia and reunite with your family?"
Xiao Zilan continued, "I did look for it. At first, I followed the caravan back to the Northern Frontier, but I happened to catch people from the eastern part of Mengdong looking for me. I heard them say that if they found me, they would make me suffer a fate worse than death."
"I was terrified and wanted to go to Xiaolin's tribe, but the people from the eastern part of Meng were blocking the road from the south to Xiaolin's tribe. As a single woman, there was no way for me to do anything."
"Without any help, I had to follow the caravan back to Dai Viet."
The second prince pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
During the three-year war for the unification of the northern border, the Dawa, Tiele and eastern Mengdong tribes were the strongest and the most difficult to defeat.
Among them, the Mengdong tribe was the tribe where Xiao Zilan married as a concubine.
