Chapter 314 The Secret of Li Wutong’s Identity
Judging from Li Wutong’s current performance, she really seems to have no idea what Wei Changtian is talking about.
However, Wei Changtian obviously sneered at her "performance".
The demon-detecting compass can never be wrong, so Li Wutong is 100% certain to be a demon.
In fact, as long as she is not Yan Luo, Wei Changtian doesn’t care what she is or what her intentions are.
Even if it really was a "fox for a princess" incident, it was a private matter of the Dafeng royal family and had nothing to do with him as an outsider.
So after mocking him again with "It turns out I misjudged you", Wei Changtian was too lazy to waste any more words and simply got straight to the point.
"Princess, you can say it or not, I don't care."
"But you definitely know the answer to what I'm going to ask next."
"Didn't you eavesdrop on me talking in the desert before?"
"What did I say then?"
“.”
After hearing this question, Li Wutong did not answer for a long time.
Because her acupoints were sealed, there was still no expression on her face, but more and more tears were flowing from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't know why Wei Changtian asked this, but she just felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"you say."
After taking a deep breath, Li Wutong finally answered intermittently: "You said that no matter how much I cried and begged to marry you, you would never marry me."
"Um."
Wei Changtian's tone remained unchanged, and he continued to ask calmly: "After that, when I was at Lord Huailing's residence, I said something to you alone. What were those words?"
"You said I shouldn't treat Shen Shulin like that."
Li Wutong slowly stopped crying: "She said I should apologize to Master Shen."
Hmm? You answered them all? Wei Changtian's expression relaxed a little: "The last question, the next day after you went to see Master Shen, I once recited a sentence in the carriage."
"Love has always been full of regrets, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."
This time, before Wei Changtian finished asking, Li Wutong repeated the poem word for word.
She seemed very tired, her voice was still low, but her tone gradually became cold.
"Master Wei, do you have anything else you want to ask?"
“Not yet.”
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was basically certain in his heart that Li Wutong was not the transformed Yama Luo.
The things he asked about just now all happened on the way to Fengyuan, and most of them were private matters to Li Wutong, so no one else would know about them except herself.
This also means that Yama Luo will not know.
Therefore, Li Wutong should be just an "ordinary monster" like Yang Liushi.
However, we cannot draw conclusions so easily on this matter.
After all, this is a matter of Yama, so we must make sure it is foolproof.
The method for further verification is also very simple. "The Emperor has arrived!"
Outside the house, shouts were heard from afar.
It came quite quickly.
Wei Changtian glanced at Li Wutong again, who had his eyes closed, and then pushed the door open and walked out with the demon-detecting compass.
Li Qi's figure appeared at the end of the road. Beside him, besides a few guards from the princess's mansion, there was only a little eunuch.
Wei Changtian walked towards him neither fast nor slow, while always paying attention to the changes of the needle of the demon-detecting compass in his sleeve.
Fortunately, until the two stood face to face, the pointer still pointed to the bedroom behind them and never changed direction.
This shows that Li Qi is not a monster.
"emperor."
With a sigh of relief, Wei Changtian bowed slightly and said, "Princess Wuping is in her bedroom right now, safe and sound."
"I did this just to verify one thing. If I was reckless, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
“.”
reckless.
To suddenly launch an attack and kidnap a princess of a country in public is certainly an act that goes far beyond the scope of "reckless".
However, Li Qi did not show any anger.
He just looked at Wei Changtian, and after a while he said softly:
"Mr. Wei, although I don't know how you found out Tong'er's identity, there are some things I don't need to hide from you now."
He waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately turned around and left.
Wei Changtian also looked at Qin Zhengqiu beside him and said, "Grandpa, I want to talk to the emperor alone."
"Um."
"call!"
A gust of wind blew up from the ground, and as Qin Zhengqiu's figure disappeared, only Wei Changtian and Li Qi were left on the long bluestone road.
"Master Wei, have you told Tong'er that she is a demon?"
"No."
Wei Changtian keenly grasped the hidden meaning in these words, and frowned for a moment: "Why? She herself doesn't know about this?"
"Well, Tong'er doesn't know."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and looked out the bedroom window. The swaying shadows of the trees and the rustling sounds of the branches and leaves were intertwined in his memory with the cry from twenty years ago.
The past overlaps with tonight, and the dust of the past blows across my face.
"This is my fault."
The king of a country fell in love with a deer demon who transformed into a human form and had a daughter with him.
If a human and a demon give birth to a child, the child will be born in human form, but his essence is still a demon.
So Li Wutong's true identity is actually a transformed deer demon, but she herself doesn't know it.
This kind of thing actually sounds quite unscientific at first glance.
After all, the original form of monsters is animals. Even if they transform into human form, they should still have animal genes, and there should be "reproductive isolation" between them and humans.
However, talking about science in the world of cultivation would undoubtedly be asking for trouble, so Wei Changtian didn't dwell on it too much and just continued to listen to Li Qi telling his past stories.
To be fair, it is not uncommon for humans and demons to fall in love.
Wu Tianqing and Yunlian, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi are all living examples.
However, no matter whether it is Wu Tianqing or Wei Changtian, they all belong to the category of "people". As long as they are not crazy and spread the news that they have married a demon, it is difficult for others to discover this.
But Li Qi is different.
He had ascended the throne twenty years ago. As the emperor of a country, if this kind of thing that goes against the moral principles of family is exposed, not only will he lose the throne, but it will also bring shame to the entire Dafeng royal family and become an eternal shame that the Li family can never erase.
Under the pressure of such a huge price, he had to make the most difficult choice in his life -
Kill the woman you love.
Li Qi did not tell Wei Changtian how much he struggled when he made this decision, but the latter could hear the pain that he still remembers from his intermittent voice.
However, the subsequent development of the matter was slightly different.
Because when several Li family assassins found the woman with orders, the latter had already taken poison and committed suicide.
Perhaps she knew that this would be the outcome when she fell in love with a human emperor, so she simply committed suicide.
The deer demon did not leave anything for Li Qi, and even burned all the objects and letters that might be evidence of Li Qi's "human-demon affair".
But she didn't destroy the most special one after all——
That is their daughter.
Perhaps, the deer demon wanted to leave this choice to Li Qi.
Looking back today, Li Qi’s choice is no longer a secret.
He did not kill their daughter and confessed the matter to the queen, who also loved him deeply.
Not only did the latter not blame or complain, he even staged a big drama with Li Qi and gave the girl a legitimate identity.
So this is how we have Princess Wuping today.
As for Li Wutong, Wei Changtian didn't feel it was the name of a princess when he heard it for the first time. This name came from a poem that the deer demon recited when he saw Li Qi for the last time and they were about to part.
At that time, the latter had not yet decided to "cut off his own arm", but the deer demon probably had a premonition.
She recited the poem with a smile, then turned and left, dying for the man she loved.
The green fairies gather together to make their robes, and the magpie bridge becomes a long-lasting sorrow of separation.
I am melancholy that the phoenix tree is no longer the same shadow as before, nor am I sad that the wild geese are temporarily following the sun.
