Ashile's eyes under the mask stared at Li Shushu intently. After looking carefully, he finally remembered why he felt she looked familiar. It turned out that when she grew up, she looked so similar to her master's wife back then?
However, he had witnessed Shu'er being buried alive by Ashlerdi's army, and he had personally tested whether he had died.
If the person appearing in the hall now is really Shu'er, then what happened back then?
Thousands of guesses flashed through Ashileyan's mind. Although he tried his best to control his facial expression, the fist hidden in his sleeve gradually tightened.
"I'm here to introduce the princess to this man, Ashileyan, my eldest son. You two should have met him before." Ashiledi had always been sensitive and suspicious, and he had noticed something strange about Ashileyan at this moment.
Li Shushu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Zhaoyang has met the little Khan."
Ashileyan's thoughts drifted away, and for a moment he couldn't hear the conversation between the two.
This was the first time in all these years that he had lost his composure like this.
"Yan'er?!" Ashlerdi shouted again, his face had turned cold.
Seeing this, Yelu Han, who was standing next to Ashileyan, quickly poked him with his elbow.
Ashileyan finally came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess Zhaoyang."
Ashiledi looked at him deeply, and on the surface let him go for the time being, and then began to diligently introduce the other ministers in the palace to Li Shushu, "These two are the Khan's right-hand men, Meilu (Prime Minister) Zhuogeng and Yehu (in charge of military power) Chiliqi."
Both Zhuo Geng and Chi Liqi saluted Li Shushu with Ashile's unique gesture.
Li Shushu also nodded politely to them.
She knew these two people.
Back then, it was these two men who personally led the troops to massacre her tribe, with Drogon acting as the judge and Chiliki as the executioner.
She would always remember Drogon's expressionless, fabricated verdict: "Leshu, leader of the Loyi tribe, poisoned the Great Khan... and his entire tribe must be executed..."
Chi Liqi left an even deeper impression on her. At the time, seeing that she was a child, some soldiers couldn't bear to kill her, so he personally kidnapped her, who was only eight years old, and arranged for a team to bury her alive...
She smiled sweetly, but she was thinking in her heart that these two people would not be able to jump around for many more days.
After the court session, Yelu Han pulled Ashileyan and hurried back to his tent.
As soon as the curtain closed, Yelu Han anxiously asked, "Yan, what's wrong with you? Why did you lose your composure just now?"
Ashileyan was still immersed in painful memories and the joy of regaining what he had lost. His chest was heaving violently. He couldn't help but hold Yeluhan's shoulders with both hands and said in a trembling voice: "Junior sister, Junior sister, she may not be dead!"
"......?" Yelu Han was confused. "How is that possible?"
He always knew that Ashileyan had many secrets in his heart. They had been good friends since they were young. Once, due to the Khan's indifference, they lost contact for a few years. Later, after Ashileyan returned, he helped him a lot. Their relationship was more like friends and brothers than that of a crown prince and his subjects.
Ashileyan did not tell him many things in detail, but he knew about that "junior sister", who should be a very important person to him.
It’s a pity that this person passed away eight years ago before Ashileyan returned to the court.
Ashileyan was usually very self-disciplined. Only in rare cases, when he was really depressed, or in his dreams after drinking, would he cry bitterly, saying that he had lost his junior sister, and that his master and mistress would definitely blame him.
They were so good to him, but he failed to live up to their trust. He really has no face to see them in his grave.
"It's true." Ashile Yan said excitedly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, I would never have believed it. But today, she is standing right in front of me!"
Yelu Han: "Have you recognized each other?"
Ashileyan paused: "That's not the case."
"Then how can you be sure that she is your junior sister? Maybe they just look alike, or maybe it's just a coincidence? After all, you haven't been in touch for eight years?"
Ashler gradually came to his senses: That’s right, he should go and confirm it again!
That night, he couldn't wait to secretly go to the king's tent to investigate.
After returning to the Ashile Dynasty for several years, he was so familiar with the royal tent that even the Ao dogs guarding the gate did not dare to bark when they saw him wearing a nightgown.
He used his lightness skills to climb the walls and fly over the tent roof, and accurately found the room where Li Shushu was.
At that time, it was already late at night, and the maids had just left the room, and the lights in the room were turned off.
After landing, he stood in front of the window for a while, and guessing that the person inside should have fallen asleep, he gently opened the window and climbed in.
The person inside was indeed fast asleep. He took out a lighter from his pocket, opened the lid, and the room was filled with a faint light.
He suppressed his pounding heartbeat and slowly moved to the bed...
But he saw that the person in the dream was frowning, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and was muttering something, but he couldn't hear clearly.
However, as he focused his attention for a moment, he heard her inner voice in her dream, "Father, Mother, Brother Yan..."
His heart skipped a beat, and he was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the fire starter in his hand steady.
He endured it again, stood in front of her bed, and looked at her carefully from a close distance: She looks alike, really alike. The grown-up Shu'er really looks like the master's wife back then, and her appearance is even better than hers.
Can they recognize each other based on just these?
Shu'er came back from the dead, and he suddenly had the ability to read Shu'er's mind and hear her inner thoughts - all this was too weird!
Could it be that Ashledi discovered some of his flaws and deliberately asked someone to find a way to lure him into revealing the truth?
