Chapter 295 This Person's Identity
Mo Yunzhu didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at Uncle Zhou who was resting his eyes, then yawned and leaned against the carriage to fall asleep.
But in her heart, she was thinking whether she could help Long San get some revenge this time. She wanted to slowly get rid of Zhuo Hongli's remaining three confidants.
I don't know how long the carriage had been driving. It was always on the official road. When the sun went down, it turned towards the continuous mountains.
However, the road is still very wide and obviously has been repaired. As you go further in, you can see two neatly planted rows of pine trees on both sides of the road.
"Uncle Zhuo, the place where your friend lives is a bit scary." Mo Yunzhu deliberately showed a surprised expression, "He must be very rich, he must have built these roads and trees himself."
Zhuo Hongli's eyes moved slightly and he said, "Yes, a wealthy family, just ahead."
Sure enough, after the carriage turned a few corners, we saw the building ahead.
Mo Yunzhu originally thought it was just a large mansion, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a magnificent building like a palace.
It is located on the mountainside, with a lake right in front, connected to it by a wide nine-curve bridge, and the terrain below is winding upwards.
This unique geographical location is astonishing. It is obvious that building a palace in such a place is also a huge project.
Mo Yunzhu thought that once Chen Tianqi came to power, he would use the people's money to build this place for his retirement.
Mo Yunzhu felt like she had arrived in a paradise. This old beast really knew how to enjoy life.
There are row houses on both sides of the entrance, guarded by people who look like security guards.
Their carriage stopped here and Zhuo Hong got off first.
Mo Yunzhu was standing behind and saw that the security guard was very polite to Zhuo Hongli. After a few greetings, the security guard looked at Mo Yunzhu and Chang Teng.
"This is the doctor I hired. Although he is young, he is quite capable. He is her bodyguard." Zhuo Hongli introduced, "Yun Zhu, this is Uncle Wang, the bodyguard of my old friend."
Mo Yunzhu quickly smiled and called out, "Hello, Uncle Wang, this place is so beautiful."
Uncle Wang smiled, then nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Mo, please come in. The master has been waiting for a long time."
The four of them thanked him and went inside. Carriages were not allowed to enter.
Mo Yunzhu looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and was pleasantly surprised.
"Uncle Zhuo, your friend is so amazing that he actually built a palace outside. Does the royal family know about this? How could they allow the construction of a palace?"
"Ahem, Yunzhu, actually this is a royal villa, and my old friend is also from the Chen Kingdom."
Mo Yunzhu opened her mouth instantly, looking shocked.
"Yun Zhu, you don't blame Uncle Zhuo for keeping it a secret from you, do you? It's really because my old friend doesn't want everyone to know that he is here."
Mo Yunzhu's face darkened and he said, "Uncle Zhuo, you should know why I came to Chen State. Although I didn't believe what you said at first, I did want to learn more. I want to get to know the royal family, maybe I can find out more."
Zhuo Hongli naturally knew what Mo Yunzhu meant.
He had previously told Mo Yunzhu that she was a little princess, not the daughter of Mo Tiancheng and his wife, so when Mo Yunzhu came to Chen State, she must have wanted to investigate her background.
All this business stuff is just a cover-up.
Thinking that she was Princess Kun's daughter and the grudge between Chen Tianqi and Princess Kun, Zhuo Hongli was actually a little uneasy.
But fortunately, she didn't know the real cause of Princess Kun's death. She only knew that she was killed by a snake, so she didn't know that he was the murderer of her mother.
"Yunzhu, you have to bear with this matter for now and treat his illness first. I will talk to you in detail later to avoid any danger." Zhuo Hongli could only fool Mo Yunzhu for now.
Mo Yunzhu's pretty face was a little cold, staring at Zhuo Hongli and said: "Uncle Zhuo, I'm here now, you should at least tell me who is inside? Such a good palace, even if it is a royal family, it is not for ordinary people to live in."
Zhuo Hongli started coughing again, turned around and looked at Uncle Zhou and Chang Teng who were following behind him, then winked at Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou and Chang Teng whispered a few words, and then the two of them slowed down a lot.
Zhuo Hongli took a few quick steps and Mo Yunzhu followed. When they were in the middle of the Nine-Turn Bridge, Zhuo Hongli stopped and looked at Mo Yunzhu seriously with his old eyes.
"Yunzhu, Uncle Zhuo really shouldn't have kept this from you. The person living here is Chen Tianqi, the Emperor Emeritus of the Chen Kingdom."
Mo Yunzhu's face suddenly changed, she was very shocked, and then she said in a cold voice: "Uncle Zhuo, if what you said before about my background is true, I am the daughter of Princess Kun, then this emperor is my uncle, right?"
Zhuo Hongli was silent for a moment and then nodded: "The Emperor and Princess Kun are half-siblings, so he is indeed your uncle."
"Does Princess Kun's death have anything to do with this uncle?" Mo Yunzhu narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhuo Hongli.
Zhuo Hongli narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head and said, "How could that be? They are siblings. Princess Kun was killed by a snake, and the emperor was also very sad."
"Really? I don't believe it. If the two siblings had a good relationship, how could the murderer not be caught after all these years?"
Zhuo Hongli sighed and said, "Yun Zhu, the affairs of the royal family cannot be explained in a few words. Don't be angry. Since you have come to Chen State, you will definitely understand many things. Now that the emperor is critically ill, if you can make him better, maybe you can ask him yourself about the follow-up."
Mo Yunzhu was surprised. She didn't expect Zhuo Hongli to come up with this method.
"Yun Zhu, the royal family has always been a deep pool of water since ancient times. Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Alas." Zhuo Hongli sighed with deep sorrow.
Mo Yunzhu was silent for a while and said, "Well, I'm not sure about my origins anyway. I hope you are wrong, Uncle Zhuo. I am not the daughter of Princess Kun, but the daughter of my father Mo Tiancheng."
Zhuo Hongli could only laugh silently. He had been wondering if Chen Tianqi would recognize her face, but now he couldn't care less. Chen Tianqi was in this state, so he had to save him first.
"Have you asked your parents?" Zhuo Hongli asked.
"How dare I ask, I just asked about some of the things that happened at the border." Mo Yunzhu also sighed, "When my mother talked about what happened back then, she always looked very sad, so I had to doubt it. Besides, Uncle Zhuo, what you said was so scary, I couldn't help but take it seriously."
"I'm not trying to scare you, but if you are really the little princess, you have the right to know your own life experience." Zhuo Hongli said earnestly.
Mo Yunzhu looked at his hypocritical old face and finally said, "Let's go. I will know the truth sooner or later."
Zhuo Hong immediately saw that she was in a heavy mood and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He just hoped that Mo Yunzhu would never know the truth between him and Princess Kun. As for other things that were exposed, he could find ways to comfort and deceive her.
