Chapter 443 Erdong's Identity Revealed
Erdong originally approached with a friendly attitude, but he never expected to be treated like this.
Even a clay figure can get angry. He retorted, unable to contain his anger, "The change of imperial power is a normal thing. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin was brutal and cruel, but did that prevent him from becoming a famous emperor throughout history?"
Although he could not agree with the idea of treating human life as worthless, it could not be denied that in ancient times, it might not be a disadvantage for the prince to be more decisive in killing.
"What high-sounding words!" Jiang Yao scolded coldly, "What about the eldest princess? She's your wife, and she's always been so kind to you. How can you have a clear conscience if you've let her down?"
She thought of her past self from the princess's foolish and misplaced love, and couldn't help but spit, "Scum!"
Erdong didn't know what the princess had endured after he left. Upon hearing this, he clenched his fists and said, "I admit that she's very good to me, but just because she likes me, does that mean I have to like her? The princess and the crown prince have a very good relationship, and she's just a woman, so she poses no political threat. I'm sure she won't be in any danger..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Yao.
Her eyes were full of sarcasm: "So, I hate self-righteous men like you the most."
Back then, when Taoist Yiqing abandoned her, wasn't it because he thought that she was the daughter of the Jiang family, had a comfortable life, and would be able to live well even without him?
But what happened later? A fire burned the entire Jiang family to ashes, and all the clansmen were hunted down. Amid Prime Minister Lu's wrath, she began a decades-long escape.
Later, he appeared again in the moonlight. When she slept in his arms, she naively thought that all the misunderstandings in the past had disappeared and they would spend the rest of their lives together.
But what he waited for was only Taoist Yiqing's betrayal again.
He said that he had only been tempted by his inner demons last night, and that was why he had been so disrespectful to her. He no longer had the face to face her.
But she didn't want his apology, she just wanted him to stay with her forever.
He thought his escape was the act of a gentleman, but in fact, it was just cowardice.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Taoist Yiqing fiercely: "If you hadn't been so weak back then, how could our child have disappeared!"
Taoist Master Yiqing knew he was in the wrong and said with deep remorse, "I was wrong. From now on, I will never act on my own again. I will obey my husband... my wife's orders."
When he mentioned his wife, he stumbled and his face turned red.
Erdong realized that he was being taken out on, and was immediately speechless: "What does the matter between you two have to do with me? The relationship between the princess and I is obviously not like that."
Jiang Yao scoffed, "Not really? Did you know that the eldest princess was held hostage by the crown prince in the capital? If it weren't for Xin'er's desperate efforts to protect her, she would have been tragically killed by an arrow!"
Erdong was extremely surprised: "How could it be?!"
"If you still have some affection for her, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible." Taoist Yiqing also advised.
Erdong did not answer, but the owl on his shoulder started to cry, as if it had heard the news of someone's death, which made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
Seeing Erdong in hesitation, Hu Xiner understood what he was thinking at the moment. After all, he had no relatives or friends with the eldest princess, so logically speaking, he should not go back.
However, his body happened to have many ties with the eldest princess.
From a selfish point of view, Hu Xiner didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse for the eldest princess if he went back to visit her.
After all, the eldest princess has encountered great changes. If she is carefully cared for by Erdong at this time, she is likely to regard Erdong as a rare warmth in her bleak life and become dependent on him.
However, the soul of the person in front of her was not the Erdong whom she once deeply loved, but a person from another world.
Even if Erdong finally developed feelings for her, things would still be different from before.
Of course, Hu Xiner could discuss with Erdong to accompany the eldest princess through the difficulties first, and then talk about other things.
But if I don't tell her the truth, and she finds out one day that she has been kept in the dark like a fool, you can imagine how painful and tormented she will be.
If the truth is told directly, it will undoubtedly be another blow to the eldest princess.
In just a few days, the emperor's brother rebelled, his father was seriously injured, his best friend fled, and he himself was in a life-and-death situation. This was an unbearable pain for the pampered princess.
Compared to Hu Xiner, Erdong has one more worry.
Although he didn't spend much time with the eldest princess, he knew that she was a willful woman who dared to love and hate.
If she found out that he was not the original Erdong, regardless of anything else, the first thing Erdong should consider was whether she would stab him to death with a sword.
He didn't come to this ancient time to die!
Hu Xiner and Erdong, two people from other worlds, know each other's thoughts very well, but in the eyes of others, it is a different scene.
In Jiang Yao's eyes, Erdong knew that the princess was in danger but was still unwilling to return to Beijing. It was obvious that he had no sense of responsibility.
Taoist Yiqing's mistakes can be forgiven, but Erdong was obviously half-hearted with the princess before, but now he has turned against her just because the princess is in trouble. He is a scum among scums!
The contempt in her eyes was even stronger: "No need to say more to this guy, Xin'er, let's go!"
Erdong knew he couldn't refute it, so he turned away angrily. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to talk to Hu Xiner and the others.
Isn't it just a matter of surviving between cliffs? At worst, he could just stay here forever and become a fisherman.
Anyway, he didn't have any big ambitions, so it was nice to find some peace and quiet among the mountains and rivers.
Just as he was thinking this, a strong wind hit him from behind, and he subconsciously used the grappling techniques he had learned in modern times.
The person who attacked him was just testing him, and immediately retreated when he saw this.
Erdong turned around and saw that the person who had just attacked him was Mu Qing!
Hu Xin'er was also very puzzled: "Husband, what are you doing..."
Could it be that Mu Qing was jealous and wanted to attack Erdong? But he had never been such an impulsive person!
Mu Qing lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes like stars in the cold night, filled with awe.
His eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance, and he shouted at Erdong: "Who are you?"
Erdong's heart skipped a beat and he secretly groaned.
Just now, he was so shocked to learn about the eldest princess's affairs, and he was in a bad mood, so he forgot to pay attention to his words.
Unexpectedly, this revealed a flaw!
