Li Yao was dumbfounded. After he realized what was happening, he quickly stepped back!
"No! Big brother! Do you have to be so heartless?"
"I have to obey my father's orders, so I have to inconvenience you."
As Li Heng spoke, he winked at his men, and soon two guards, one on the left and one on the right, surrounded Li Yao and went away.
Li Yao dodged and hid behind a roadside stall, grabbing a basket to block the front.
"Brother! Listen to me!"
"I have shown my face in front of the princess before, and I am also the hero who broke up the conspiracy of the Saint of the White Lotus Sect. You can't take me back."
Li Heng remained indifferent and signaled the guards to surround him: "Father said that he would tie you up and take you back..."
"Wait!" Li Yao's eyes turned, and he suddenly said seriously: "Brother, don't you want to know why Zhao Dequan dared to fake the princess' order so blatantly?"
He took a step closer and said mysteriously, "Because the Third Prince had long harbored rebellious intentions, and this trip to the capital to be crowned king was all planned by him... woo woo..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Yao's mouth was covered by Li Heng with a warning look on his face.
"Misfortune comes from the mouth. Do I need to teach you this truth?"
Li Yao nodded frantically and raised his hands to promise that he would not talk nonsense again.
Li Heng glanced around vigilantly and finally let him go.
Li Yao struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brother, the princess is catching Zhao Dequan in the act. If you kidnap me now, won't you miss a great opportunity to make a contribution?"
Seeing that Li Heng was still hesitating, Li Yao lowered his voice and said, "Besides... hasn't father always wanted to find a way out for our Li family? It's not too late to choose a side now!"
Li Heng stared at him for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yao's ear.
"You little brat, have you become more capable? Have you learned to use family justice to pressure me?"
"Oh, it hurts!" Li Yao grimaced, "Brother, please be gentle. I'm just thinking about our family."
Li Heng let go of his hand and sighed helplessly: "Lead the way, but..." He warned:
"If you dare to do anything, I will break your legs and tie them back."
Li Yao rubbed his red ears and grinned: "Don't worry, the princess is in Lanyue Tower now. I'll take you there right away, but we have to change our clothes first. You are too eye-catching in this outfit."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Heng, wearing coarse cloth clothes, followed Li Yao with a gloomy face.
This outfit made him feel uncomfortable, and what made him even more annoyed was that Li Yao took him around in many twists and turns and finally stopped in front of a rouge shop.
"We're here!" Li Yao said proudly, "This is the princess's secret contact point."
Li Heng looked at the inconspicuous shop in front of him suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
"Of course! The shopkeeper is the princess's man, and the backyard leads directly to the secret passage of Lanyue Tower." Li Yao said as he was about to walk in.
Li Heng grabbed him and said, "Wait! How do you know so much?"
Li Yao scratched his head, showing a rare bit of shyness: "Well... I've been running errands for Miss Zhixia recently..."
"Zhixia?" Li Heng narrowed his eyes. "Is she the female guard in red?"
Before Li Yao could answer, the door of the Rouge Shop was opened. Zhixia leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, looking impatient: "Second Master Li, are you leaving or not?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhixia's attention was suddenly attracted by Li Heng standing beside her.
Although the man was dressed in coarse cloth, he could not hide the iron-blooded temperament emanating from his body. Zhixia had often dealt with Pei Yuan before, and knew that only people in the military camp could have such temperament.
"This is..."
Zhixia narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Heng.
"Miss Zhixia, let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother Li Heng."
"Brother! This is Miss Zhixia whom I told you about, the maidservant beside the princess."
After these words were spoken, Zhixia and Li Heng were both stunned.
Zhixia didn't expect that she would meet her other blood cousin in this way.
What shocked Li Heng was that his aunt's biological daughter looked like this. She really was 70% similar to his aunt, and there was a heroic look between her eyebrows.
After a while, Li Heng was the first to come back to his senses and confirmed: "You are... Princess Yiyang!"
He used an affirmative sentence, because he was sure from her facial features that Zhixia was his aunt's biological daughter! The newly-conferred Princess Yiyang!
Zhixia raised an eyebrow, "So what?"
Zhixia obviously had no intention of recognizing the brothers.
She didn't even recognize Li and Gu Tingyuan, so why would she rush to recognize this pair of cousins who were a generation apart?
Li Heng felt nervous when he saw her cold attitude. He took a step forward and said:
"Princess, the events of the past were complicated, and my aunt has always been thinking about you..."
"Stop!" Zhixia interrupted Li Heng: "What right do parents who can take their own child by mistake and raise the wrong child for 18 years have to care about this princess?"
"Mr. Li, if you are here today to lobby for Gu Tingyuan and the Li family, then take your leave now. I'm sorry I can't see you off."
Zhixia’s attitude was very clear, she was unwilling to recognize the Li family.
Li Yao, who was standing by, was completely confused and looked back and forth between the two of them with a puzzled look.
"Brother! Miss Zhixia, what on earth are you talking about?"
What do you mean by wrongly brought back? What do you mean by my aunt always missing me...
In an instant, a white light flashed through Li Yao's mind.
He suddenly realized that his aunt had returned to Longxi some time ago to investigate the difficult childbirth incident.
later……
That’s right! Later, I heard that the daughter that my aunt had raised for eighteen years was actually the child of a servant in the mansion. The other party had used a trick to replace the daughter with a real one, and staged a bloody story of a real daughter and a fake daughter.
