Chapter 531 The Orphan of the Former Crown Prince

"His true identity is the orphan of our dynasty's former crown prince."

After she finished speaking, there was a sudden "clang" sound coming from outside the door, like something falling to the ground.

Lu Xingwan sighed helplessly.

[Look! The plot in the storybook is coming! ]

[Whenever a few people gather together to whisper, they will definitely be discovered by others.]

【And he is a very important person. 】

[Mother, please go open the door quickly! The person outside must be Pei Chuyan.]

After hearing the noise, before waiting to hear Lu Xingwan's inner voice, Song Qingyan and Fu Yao quickly exchanged glances, and then Song Qingyan stood up and walked towards the door.

As Wanwan said, the person standing outside was Pei Chuyan.

Naturally, he looked stunned.

Song Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little self-blame. She had just been immersed in the joy of being able to hear Wanwan's voice again.

I forgot that I was talking to Fu Yao in secret and no one else could know. If I had known this, I should have arranged someone to watch him outside.

When Fu Yao saw Pei Chuyan outside the door, he stood up in panic and was at a loss for a moment.

Pei Chuyan also looked at Song Qingyan in front of him in a daze: "My Lady."

Perhaps because he was too shocked, he forgot that he should call Song Qingyan "Madam".

Lu Xingwan didn't care much about this matter.

【Since you heard it, just invite him in. 】

[Even though Pei Chuyan, who is so promising, was shocked, it only lasted for a moment.]

[He has to know these things! ]

[I think he definitely doesn't want to be kept in the dark about his background.]

[Besides, we are now in the territory of Dali. If people knew about this, it would be a kind of protection for us.]

Because King Yixuan treated him differently, Pei Chuyan did have times when he doubted his own identity.

He originally thought that it was his father or mother who had some connection with King Uiseon.

But he never expected that he was not his father and mother's biological child.

He had just come to the door of the Queen's room, just to ask if the Queen needed any help.

But I didn't expect to hear such a shocking secret.

It's still about your own secrets.

"Chu Yan, Chu Yan..." Pei Chuyan came back to his senses when Song Qingyan called him and smiled at her.

[His smile was really ugly, just like my mother's smile that day.]

[They are all ugly.]

From Lu Xingwan's complaints, Song Qingyan realized that during the two days when she couldn't hear her voice, she had actually said that she was ugly.

I think it was because during those first two days after entering Bandung, I couldn’t hear Wanwan’s voice and I felt really uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare show it in front of Wanwan and could only force a smile.

Although she was distracted for a moment, Song Qingyan's attention was still focused on Pei Chuyan.

Without waiting for him to come to his senses, he reached out and grabbed his arm, and brought him into the room.

Naturally, he brought him to the position where Fu Yao was sitting now.

Being interrupted by Pei Chuyan, Fu Yao didn't know what to do for a moment.

To be honest, Pei Chuyan's status in the Great Chu State is also very high.

After all, he is the son of the late Duke of Anguo. If you compare him, there is a difference between a prince who can inherit the title of Duke and a descendant of the late prince who is being watched by the emperor all the time.

Naturally, the son of a duke has a higher status.

Most importantly, safety.

I decided to tell Song Qingyan everything in order to protect his safety.

Even so, it took a lot of courage.

But when Pei Chuyan really sat in front of her, she didn't have the courage to speak.

Once the truth is revealed, no matter what choices Prince Pei makes in the future, they will be different from before.

It seemed as if he had ruined Pei Chuyan's bright future.

Lu Xingwan suddenly remembered something in his mind.

[No wonder in the story, after the second brother became successful, Pei Chuyan suddenly disappeared from the story.]

[I thought he retired from officialdom because he was afraid of the new emperor's suspicion.]

[But now that I think about it, I’m afraid it’s…]

[Did Pei Chuyan accidentally learn about his life experience during the war between several countries?]

[So after his second brother ascended the throne, he did not choose to take the title of Duke of Anguo, but returned to Dali alone.]

[Perhaps he was looking for the cause of his parents' death, or perhaps he was preparing to avenge his parents. The story did not mention what happened later.]

Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan raised her head and looked at Pei Chuyan in front of her, and felt a little more respect for him in her heart.

To be honest, he is a descendant of a duke and was the one who supported his second brother to ascend the throne.

If you stay in the Great Chu State, you will definitely have a bright future.

But he gave up.

"Princess, just say it. I can bear it." Pei Chuyan suddenly spoke, interrupting Lu Xingwan's thoughts.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time, or perhaps it was because he was shocked by what Fu Yao said, there was a hint of hoarseness in Pei Chuyan's voice when he spoke.

Fu Yao has never been the kind of person who would hesitate or be indecisive over trivial matters.

But now facing Pei Chuyan, she really couldn't make a decision.

【Oh, my General Fu Yao. 】

[Pei Chuyan has always been an open and honest person. Now that he has let you speak, what are you still fighting for? ]

[Isn't this a good opportunity for your eldest prince to recognize his own bloodline? ]

[If Pei Chuyan regrets it after today, you will be upset.]

Finally, Song Qingyan spoke up: "Ah Yao, now that Chu Yan is willing to know about this matter, just tell him."

"Don't worry about the rest."

As for what choice he makes in the end, that is his own business.

If it were someone else, Song Qingyan might still be afraid that he would go astray, but Chu Yan is a mature man and has his own plans for everything.

He will make his own decision.

"Okay." Fu Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"In fact, the prince and I have been investigating this matter for a long time."

"The Duke of Anguo and his wife of the Great Chu are a harmonious couple. The Duke of Anguo is always away on the battlefield, and his wife is always by his side."

"But the climate at the junction of these three countries is not really good."

"The wife of the Duke of Anguo is already weak, and in such an environment, her body is even weaker."

"Once, Duke Anguo was ambushed by the secret guards of Yuefeng Kingdom. It was his wife who stood in front of him and saved his life."

"But that sword injured the wife of the Duke of Anguo. From then on, she could no longer give birth."

"At that time, the Duke of Anguo and his wife did not have their own children. So, the Duke of Anguo's mansion had no successor."
