"After all these years in Wusun, I'm no longer some innocent princess."
"How could I, Queen Mother Anar, be someone who gets drunk easily or speaks softly to others easily?"
"It's foolish to deceive those people in the imperial court."
"Only the real Kurt can tell whether his mother is drunk or not..."
At this point, Anar's face was full of sadness again.
Li Qingluo handed her a cup of hot tea and said, "I guessed it too."
"Although your drunken eyes and expression were very similar and almost fooled us, your steps, even though they looked frivolous, were steady and you didn't miss a step."
Anar paused.
Nangong Di said: "Don't worry, no one else is suspicious."
Anar: "Did I speak to you?"
Nangong Di shut his mouth in frustration.
Li Qingluo quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Senior, do you have any suspicions about someone?"
Anar: "During the meal, I have been excluding in my mind that six of the ten people that bitch mentioned are from the side branches of the imperial court."
"The four closest blood relatives, apart from the already ruled out Third Prince, are the descendants of my three uncles."
"And the timing of two of these three doesn't match the time of Kurt's personality change."
"The remaining one is the eldest son of the Fourth Prince."
"This child is gifted and has been interested in Buddhism since childhood. Moreover, he is deeply rooted in your Han culture and is highly respected throughout Hara City and even the Western Regions."
"I was also surprised by his sudden death."
"It's said that he encountered bandits and a sandstorm on his way to the Central Plains to study Buddhism. He became separated from his followers, and when they found him again, he was already dead."
"Logically, he's the most likely candidate. But his personality doesn't match Kurt's current personality at all."
"You saw it today. This Kurt has a violent temper, but that child is a very gentle and kind person who can't even bear to see someone kill."
Li Qingluo: "But it can't be completely ruled out."
"What if he has some demonic obstacles because of his life-and-death experience?"
After thinking about Li Qingluo's words, Anar nodded in agreement.
"You're right. I can't assume that I fully understand what kind of person he is based on the little knowledge I had of him before."
"And, after all the eliminations, he's the only one left."
Li Qingluo shook his head: "Aren't there some collateral relatives? Why don't you check?"
Anar sighed, "It's written in the sealed archives that this evil spell cannot be used on relatives beyond the fifth degree of mourning."
In other words, even if the relationship is several generations apart, the soul cannot be transferred even if the horoscopes are compatible.
Li Qingluo thought of another possibility: "Then how can you be sure that none of the remaining six distant relatives might not be true distant relatives?"
Anar's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
But she soon understood and was shocked: "You mean the illegitimate child of the royal family——"
Li Qingluo: "I wonder if such an incredible thing will happen in the imperial court."
"But I did experience a real incident not long ago where an illegitimate child was exchanged for a legitimate child."
"Even the woman who did this is from the Western Regions."
Although Anar was a little shocked, what had she not experienced over the years?
I quickly accepted this possibility.
"I will personally investigate this matter tomorrow."
"However, I might borrow two of your guards to protect me."
Li Qingluo: "Senior, please feel free to borrow it. My master can also use it."
"That's what he should do."
Li Qingluo quickly pushed Nangong Di forward.
Anar hesitated for a moment, but nodded and accepted reluctantly: "Okay."
Just as Nangong Di's face showed a hint of relief, he heard Li Qingluo say again, "By the way, Senior, I think we can start investigating this matter with that Yanshi."
Anar: "I thought so too."
Li Qingluo went to bed as soon as he returned to the mansion.
It wasn't until the next day that I heard Que'er say, "Miss, Mammy and Sha Er didn't come back last night. Should we send Sha San and the others out to look for them?"
Li Qingluo was lying down, but he immediately woke up and sat up. "What did you say?"
"You haven't come back all night?"
"Why are you telling me now?"
"The person hasn't returned yet, so has any letter been sent back?"
Que'er was also very anxious, but he just shook his head.
"Also, last night in the middle of the night, King Kurt from the front yard came back and had a quarrel with Queen Mother Wusun."
"The Queen Mother Wusun stormed out early in the morning."
"That Kurt is in the front yard and won't let our people in or out. Everyone is acting very cautiously, for fear of arousing the king's suspicion."
This yard is full of people from the Central Plains.
Although there are human skin masks, not everyone has one.
So in order to avoid being discovered by Kurt or even taking advantage of him, the only way was to avoid him.
Li Qingluo was extremely annoyed.
"At worst, tie him up!"
"Anyway, Anar has a way to get the real Kurt back. If you're in a hurry, just get him back first!"
Li Qingluo just didn't know what Anar's real plan was.
Is he seeking revenge first? Or are there certain harsh conditions for getting Kurt back, so he must first find out his true background?
Li Qingluo rubbed his brows.
"Who followed the Queen Mother out?"
Que'er: "Kill seven and kill sixteen. It's decided by drawing lots."
Li Qingluo: "They are both quite smart, so there is no need to worry about them."
