Even though Feng Changye was complaining in his heart, he still had to smile at his queen. "Really? Since the queen thinks he looks familiar, then call him over and ask him."
His wife wants to recruit talented people, what else can he do except cooperate?
He signaled the guards to come forward and pull the young man over for questioning.
The guard took the order and walked over. "What are you doing?"
When the princes in the yard saw the guards coming in, their eyes widened and they were eager to fight!
Unfortunately, they were wearing heavy anklets and handcuffs, so they couldn't even get close to the guards.
The guard walked straight towards Hazibolie without looking around.
Hazibolie, who was leaning against the wall, also saw the guard come in. But he didn't think the guard was looking for him. Because in Xiyuan, he was a prince who was comparable to a slave, and he was always ignored and bullied.
He thought the guards were coming to take away other princes.
However, when he saw the guards walking straight towards him, he was stunned.
He stared at the guard blankly. Huh? Are they here to see him?
But there are dozens of princes here, all of them are stronger than him, so why would they come to him?
He subconsciously looked around him.
When he found out that he was the only one here and the guards couldn't be here to take someone else away, he could no longer remain calm and quickly stood up in surprise.
"Are you looking for me?"
He bent his waist slightly and asked cautiously.
The guard nodded, "The Queen wants to see you, follow me."
The guard went to the pillar to untie his chain, and then took him out of the yard.
He looked up excitedly at the emperor and empress in black robes outside the yard, quickly straightened his clothes, and followed the guards out in an orderly manner.
When he arrived before the emperor and empress, he knelt down respectfully and saluted.
"The sinner Hazibolie kowtows to the Emperor Daning and the Empress—"
When Zhu Wuhuan heard him reveal his identity, his eyes lit up.
It was indeed him.
There is no need to think about it, we must take him away today.
She pretended to be curious and asked, "You look familiar to me. Are your ancestors related to the Wusang tribe, to which my father belongs?"
Hazibolie was stunned when he heard this.
He subconsciously looked up at the Queen.
So the Queen came to recognize her relatives?
His eyes flickered.
Perhaps this is his only chance to leave the Honglu Temple and escape from his status as a criminal, he must seize it!
He kowtowed respectfully in response.
"Reporting to the Queen, my grandmother is the princess of the Wusang tribe."
"When the Wusang tribe was annihilated, my grandfather, seeing my grandmother's beauty, tattooed the word 'slave' on her face and took her home to be a lowly bed warmer."
"After living with my grandfather for two years, my grandmother became pregnant with the father of the sinner."
"But a child born from a lowly bed-warmer, even if he is of the king's blood, can only be a slave."
"So the sinner's father was born with the word slave tattooed on his body."
"Later, the sinner's father married and had a child, the sinner. The sinner also did not escape the fate of being tattooed. When he was born, a "slave" mark was added to his face."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the ink mark on his face.
Listening to his narration, Feng Changye and Zhu Wuhuan looked at each other.
Pretty smart.
He knew how to distance himself from his biological father's tribe as much as possible and portrayed himself as a slave with no connection to the royal family.
Zhu Wuhuan curled his lips, "I see. I was just surprised when I saw you. Why do you look so familiar? It turns out that your grandmother, like mine, is a princess of the Wusang tribe."
She looked down at the gray robe wrapped around him again, "Where did you get this robe from?"
Hazibolie said, "I begged for this robe from General Zhu. Seeing the soldiers of Daning dressed so formally, I wanted to imitate the people of Daning and dress more modestly, so as not to offend the nobles when I arrived in the capital. When the general learned of my background, he felt pity for me and said that I had some connection with him, so he gave me this robe."
Zhu Wuhuan became more and more satisfied with this man's tact.
He really spared no effort to establish a relationship with her and the Zhu family.
However, she didn't hate his little cleverness.
After all, this is the talent she wants, so she can be a little more strict with him.
She pretended to be enlightened, "So father also knew your identity. How much care did he take of you along the way?"
Hazibolie said quickly, "The old general treats everyone equally. This robe was given to the sinner because of his strong request. The old general never showed favoritism during his journey."
Zhu Wuhuan turned her head to look at Feng Changye and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, my father is upright by nature and has never been partial to anyone. But I, a concubine, would like to take advantage of your favor and show some partiality for once—"
She feigned pity. "My father's maternal clan, Wusang, was wiped out, leaving him without a single relative there. Over the years, I and my brothers and sisters have been the only ones keeping him company, and he's been utterly lonely... Now, there's someone with a connection to his maternal clan, Wusang. I'd like to ask the Emperor to release this person and allow them to stay at the Zhu family for a while. I wonder if the Emperor would agree?"
"!" When Hazibolie heard this, a light of surprise flashed in his eyes!
The Queen wants to release him!
His life really took a turn for the better!
"..." Feng Changye watched his queen acting silently.
Great acting. I want to applaud.
He suppressed the urge to applaud in his hands, suppressed the complaints surging in his heart, and forced himself to look at the queen with a gentle expression.
"It's rare for the Queen to ask me for something, so how could I refuse?"
After saying this, he looked down at Hazibolie.
Not only did he have to try hard to resist the urge to recruit this person, but he also had to quietly push this person into the Queen's camp.
It is really difficult for him to be an emperor.
He suppressed his sadness and said calmly, "Since the Queen has pleaded for you, I will grant you a special pardon today. Why don't you thank the Queen for saving you?"
Hazibolie was overjoyed when he heard this!
He quickly kowtowed to Feng Changye, "I, the sinner, thank the emperor for his pardon!"
He then kowtowed to Zhu Wuhuan excitedly, "I thank the Queen for pleading for me! I thank the Queen for saving me! I will never forget your kindness until I die! From now on, whenever the Queen calls, I will obey her. I am willing to sacrifice my life for her to repay her kindness!"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. You and I are related by blood, and you can be considered my cousin. As long as you behave yourself, I will take good care of you."
Hazibolie looked at his cousin, the queen, with bright eyes!
He was so touched.
He had grown up in Xiyuan and never received any family affection until he was eighteen. But when he came to this strange country of Daning, he actually felt the taste of family love from a sister he had just met!
From now on, the Queen is his biological sister!
He wants to use his humble life to protect the sister who saved him from the sea of suffering, and he also wants to love his sister and protect her future little prince!
