Chapter 761: Keep Him Alive
Xue Sha was still thinking about Yuan Zun. With Si Linglong's words as a "stepping stone", he quickly ran to Baohua Palace to look for someone.
Si Linglong pulled Xixi aside again and asked her about the former princess.
Before this, she had already learned from A Yue the so-called origins of the Si family and the Li Wang Mansion.
Si Linglong was shocked to know that she and Helian Tuo were actually half-siblings.
It’s not that she couldn’t accept the fact that they were blood-related “brothers and sisters” like Helian Tuo, but she just felt that this relationship was a bit awkward.
After all, the Prince Li's Mansion is going to rebel in the future.
At the same time, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart,
[And if we round this relationship off, aren't A-Yue and I close relatives? ]
[A Yue and the male protagonist are cousins, so isn't that... my cousin? ]
Helian Yue had just finished dealing with a round of things and came back. He heard her conclusion as soon as he entered the room and his feet almost tripped over the threshold.
The look in his eyes when he looked into the house seemed to hold a knife.
How can this relationship be considered like this?!
He is related to Helian Tuo by blood. What does he have to do with you, Si Linglong?
Why are you rushing to add another layer of taboo to their relationship?
He walked into the room in a bad mood and heard Si Linglong asking Xixi about the former princess.
Si Linglong had no memory of this former princess, the original owner's mother.
I still can't figure out why Si Jinyu wanted to assassinate King Li.
"Logically speaking, the former Princess Li faked her death and escaped, then changed her name and lived with my beautiful father, and gave birth to my brother and me... It would make more sense if Prince Li knew the truth and wanted to kill my brother and me."
The more Helian Yue heard this, the more he paused on his way inside.
Yesterday he also vaguely heard some secrets about the former powerful princess.
Thinking of that person's experience, Helian Yue still did not alarm the people inside, turned around and walked out again.
There were some things that were not suitable for him to be an in-listener, even given his relationship with Linglong.
朏朏's sharp ears did hear the noise, but she didn't say anything. An expression of comfort appeared on her cat-like face.
She was still very surprised that Si Linglong was actually the daughter of the former Princess Li. After all, although she had taken care of a lot of trivial matters during her years as an old lady, she was still deeply impressed by the trivial matters of the former Princess Li.
He simply asked Si Linglong to send away the rest of the people in the room, and then he looked at Si Linglong in front of him again. He still spoke in the same arrogant and domineering tone as an old lady.
"I was not familiar with that powerful princess in my old age. I only met her twice by chance at banquets. Although she showed no signs of abnormality, I am very sensitive to people's emotions. I felt that she was always in a trance and tense state, so I subconsciously paid more attention to her."
In fact, because 朏朏 herself had the attribute of forgetting worries, she consciously let her get close to her at that time.
Even just sitting next to her can relax the mind and soothe the mood.
It really worked the first time.
As a result, when she met the person for the second time, the other person's mood was even more unstable than the last time, and she even unexpectedly saw the moment when she wanted to commit suicide.
At first, the powerful princess denied it, and said that she slipped and nearly fell into the lake. Later, when Xixi discovered her injuries, she cried and begged her not to tell anyone, saying that she only wanted to die accidentally.
Just because that is the Li King, the younger brother whom he currently relies on.
She also sought help from her mother, but her mother said that it was her duty as a wife and asked her to bear with it.
Even her closest relatives were like this, she had no way out.
After all, such things cannot be told to others, and even if they are told, the one who is tortured will be the only one who will be embarrassed.
No one would condemn the king's tyranny, but would only imagine what she had experienced and laugh at her in secret.
But her dignity did not allow others to know her experience.
At that time, a baby had just been born in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. Xixi was a soft-hearted person. After knowing her experience, she offered to help her fake her death.
As a 朏朏, even if she has no "fighting power", she is still an ancient beast after all. If she wants to help a human fake his death without letting others know, she always has her own way.
This is also the reason why Princess Li’s death was able to deceive all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital and succeed.
After hearing what her mother had gone through in Prince Li's mansion, Si Linglong fell silent for a long time.
Although she is not the real Si Linglong, any woman would feel heavy and disgusted when hearing about such an experience.
She had also met that fierce king during the winter hunting. Who could have imagined that beneath that seemingly kind appearance, he hid such a vicious heart.
To say he's a pervert is no exaggeration.
She vaguely understood why her brother insisted on assassinating King Li.
That is the choice of being a son of man.
As a "sister", since she could not avenge the original owner's mother, she had to at least ensure that her brother would not suffer for such a scum.
After A Yue rescued the people from Prince Li's palace,
Even if she has to be an unreasonable concubine, she has to protect her brother from the assassination of Prince Li in Yongjing.
