During the family dinner, she happened to be sitting opposite him, so he saw her.
Although left-handed people are rare, they are not uncommon in the world.
What really concerned Qi Yuan was that she seemed to be deliberately concealing this fact.
After subconsciously using her left hand, she quickly switched back to her right hand, not wanting to be noticed.
This attempt to cover up something only made it more obvious also aroused Qi Yuan's suspicion.
"You said that these two people who look nothing alike, could they be the same person?"
Qi Yuan tapped his fingers together.
Eunuch Wang felt a sinking feeling in his heart. His Highness was so eager to find the princess that he had gone crazy.
He actually started asking such outrageous questions.
This is obviously impossible, a fact that any child knows.
"Your Highness, most likely... not." Eunuch Wang answered as tactfully as possible.
"I've never heard of such a strange thing in the world. Face-changing is only found in legends and those Jianghu stories."
Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly, "So I am overly suspicious?"
Eunuch Wang nodded cautiously, "That's probably true. Even if the princess has great powers, she can't completely change her appearance."
Qi Yuan stopped talking and closed his eyes again to rest.
But the face of Wu Zhaoyi still appeared in my mind unconsciously.
He saw her back twice and felt a sense of familiarity.
Although their faces and voices are completely different, their body shapes are very similar.
Is he overthinking it?
When Qi Yuan returned home, it was already late.
Considering the long journey, Qi Yuan fell asleep quickly.
But I didn’t sleep well that night, perhaps because I was dreaming about what I thought about during the day.
He actually dreamed of Wu Zhaoyi.
She walked slowly towards him wearing a mask.
He reached out and took off the mask, revealing Xu Lingyi's face underneath.
She seemed panicked, and with tears in her eyes, she immediately changed her face and instantly turned back into His Majesty's Wu Zhaoyi.
In this dream, they were the same person.
Qi Yuan was extremely angry. He had just questioned her why she was playing tricks on her like this when he woke up in anger.
Qi Yuan sat up suddenly. This dream was too real.
He looked out the window. It was still dark. Qi Yuan lay down again, but could not fall asleep.
"Your Highness, why are you up so early?" Eunuch Wang was a little surprised as it was just dawn.
"Enter the palace!"
Qi Yuan had doubts in his heart, even though this doubt was extremely absurd and even he himself felt it was impossible.
But Qi Yuan decided to follow his heart.
Since there is a slight suspicion, we must investigate it thoroughly.
He also didn't want to miss any opportunity to find Xu Lingyi.
"Find a way to place two secret guards beside this Concubine Wu."
"Be careful and cautious, don't alert the enemy."
He had already suspected that this person had unknown origins, regardless of whether she was the person he was looking for.
Her identity also needs to be clarified.
He has too many brothers and sisters, and many of them are eyeing the throne.
It is also very likely that she is an assassin sent by one of them.
As soon as Qi Yuan entered the palace, Qi Yun came up to him.
"Uncle, do you like calligraphy?"
If he likes it, he can start preparing a birthday gift for the emperor's uncle.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Uncle, have you forgotten? Your birthday is coming soon." Qi Yun said with a smile, "Nephew wants to prepare a gift for you."
Qi Yuan then remembered that his birthday was soon.
After Xu Lingyi left, his heart seemed to have died, and he lost interest in these things alone.
"Can."
Qi Yuan nodded.
A person's handwriting will not change.
Even if it is disguised, some details can still be seen from the handwriting.
"Just give me calligraphy. You don't have to give me a famous work. You and Wu Zhaoyi can each create one."
Qi Yun lowered his head in thought, "Okay."
As expected of the emperor's uncle, he is so frugal.
"That's really good, and it also shows your nephew's feelings for you."
Qi Yun happily went to prepare and also informed Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi forced a smile, "How can Your Majesty be sure of this?"
"I asked my uncle, he likes calligraphy."
"But I haven't read much, and I'm afraid my calligraphy is not good enough, and the emperor's uncle will dislike it." Xu Lingyi lowered her head and spoke softly.
Qi Yun thought for a moment and was also a little hesitant. He remembered that her original identity was just a peasant girl.
"How about this, I'll hire a teacher for you, and you practice more. The emperor's uncle wants me to go with you to deliver calligraphy."
Xu Lingyi's face turned pale in an instant.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. "I'm fine. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
She quickly put Qi Yun off, but after he left, she almost couldn't stand.
Why did Qi Yuan also want her calligraphy? Did he have doubts in his heart?
On the one hand, Xu Lingyi felt that it was impossible, as she didn't seem to have revealed anything, but on the other hand, she thought of the mistakes made at yesterday's family dinner.
She knew that Qi Yuan was indeed sharp enough in some aspects, otherwise he would not have been able to win almost every battle he fought.
"Your Majesty, are you going to the Cining Palace today?"
The maid's words pulled Xu Lingyi out of her chaotic thoughts.
"I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I won't be going. Go and apologize to the Grand Empress Dowager."
Xu Lingyi curled up alone in the quilt. She clenched her palms until they were about to bleed, and then she came to her senses.
She couldn't panic.
Qi Yuan probably just had a slight suspicion, he definitely couldn't be sure.
Your Majesty's Concubine Wu is also her.
After all, these are two completely different faces with different voices.
