Chapter 419 Recognition
Qiao Yu Niang said in a gentle voice: "I was originally with my parents in the Northern Frontier. Later, the war in the Northern Frontier broke out, and I accidentally came to Daxia."
Sang Qi deliberately slowed down her steps and secretly looked behind her.
When the second prince saw the two people start to walk, he picked up Xia Miaoyuan, tiptoed into the small woods next to him, and followed quietly.
"That's such a coincidence." Sang Qi smiled. "
I am also from the Northern Frontier. I followed my current master when I was young, and then I married to Daxia with her."
Sang Qi said, and secretly observed Qiao Yu Niang's reaction.
Qiao Yu Niang's steps suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Really? That's really a coincidence." Qiao Yu Niang's voice trembled a little.
Sang Qi continued, "Moreover, I found that you look a lot like my master."
After these words came out, Qiao Yuniang was stunned, her feet stopped and she didn't move.
"Who is your master?"
Sang Qi said loudly, "My master is the queen of Daxia, Xiao."
After Sang Qi said this, Qiao Yuniang shuddered.
"Princess Zilan!" Sang Qi approached Qiao Yuniang, stared into her eyes, and called in a low voice.
"It's you! Princess Zilan, right?"
Qiao Yuniang stared at Sang Qi in a daze, her eyes instantly red, "I... I..."
At this time, the second prince and Xia Miaoyuan, who had been hiding in the dark and secretly observing, suddenly ran over.
"You are our aunt Xiao Zilan, right?" The second prince said in a firm tone.
Xia Miaoyuan raised her head to observe Qiao Yu Niang's reaction, and saw that she was already in tears and couldn't stop crying.
"Aunt, aunt." Xia Miaoyuan called her in a baby voice.
"Do you know? In the past few years, everyone couldn't find you and was very worried about you. Mother, uncles, grandfather, grandmother, miss you day and night."
"Grandmother was so worried that she almost died of illness."
Qiao Yu Niang burst into tears when she heard this, but she was in the palace at this time, and she was afraid that crying too loudly would attract other people, so she covered her mouth with her hands and made a "wuwuwu" sound.
This is not a place to talk, and the second prince and his entourage hurriedly took her to the side yard where they were staying temporarily.
In the second prince's room.
Qiao Yu Niang had already cried, and Sang Qi helped her wipe her tears.
Everyone stared at her intently.
"Yes, I am Xiao Zilan." She spoke word by word.
"Aunt!"
"Aunt!"
"Princess Zilan!"
Several people cried with joy and hugged Xiao Zilan.
After a long time, they finally calmed down.
Xiao Zilan held Xia Miaoyuan in his arms, pressed her lips against her chubby little face and said, "I heard at that time that your sister gave birth to a lovely daughter, so I wanted to go and see her. But I never made it to Da Xia."
"Today, I suddenly heard that Princess Anguo of Da Xia was coming, and I almost jumped for joy."
Xia Miaoyuan touched Xiao Zilan's face, "So, you specially made Da Xia's food for me and delivered it to me personally. You wanted to take the opportunity to see me, right?"
Xiao Zilan smiled and nodded, "Miao'er, you really look like your sister, so beautiful and cute. When I saw you for the first time when I entered the room, I almost laughed out loud with joy."
As she said that, she couldn't help but kiss Xia Miaoyuan on the lower cheek.
Then, she stared at the second prince for several seconds and stroked his head with her hand: "Chengnian, you have grown up so much and become a passionate man who can lead troops to fight. You really are my sister's child."
The second prince wiped his tears and said: "Aunt, what is going on? How did you end up in Dai Viet? And in the palace, became a maid?"
The second prince asked a bunch of questions in one breath.
Sang Qi smiled and advised, "Second Prince, ask slowly. Asking so many questions at once will confuse Princess Zilan."
Xiao Zilan's eyes reddened and she said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you everything."
"Back then, my brother came to pick me up before the war, but my husband wouldn't let me leave, and he sent soldiers to chase us."
"When we were halfway there, a sandstorm suddenly arose. My horse was frightened and threw me off, and I fainted."
When the Second Prince and his companions heard this, their hearts tightened.
"I don't know how long it was before I woke up, but I was very weak and didn't even have the strength to walk. I found that I had fallen into a cave."
"I heard someone calling me and searching for me, but I didn't have the strength to shout. Soon I fainted again."
"When I woke up again, I was already on a cargo carriage. A caravan saved me."
"At that time, the caravan had already reached the territory of Dayue."
Sang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Princess Zilan is really a blessed person."
Xia Miaoyuan blinked curiously, "Aunt, why don't you go back to Northern Xinjiang or Daxia to reunite with your family?"
Xiao Zilan's voice continued, "I did look for it. At first, I followed the caravan back to Northern Xinjiang, but I happened to meet people from Mengdong who were looking for me. I heard from them that if they find me, they will make me live a life worse than death."
"I was so scared that I wanted to go to the Xiaolin tribe, but the people of the Mengdong tribe blocked the road to the Xiaolin tribe from the south. As a single woman, I had no way to do it."
"I had no choice but to follow the caravan and return to Dai Viet."
The second prince pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
In the three-year war to unify the northern border, the Da Wa tribe, the Tiele tribe and the Mengdong tribe were the strongest and the most difficult to fight.
Among them, the Mengdong tribe was the tribe that Xiao Zilan married as a concubine.
During the war, the Mengdong tribe had always occupied a key area in the northern border. When Xiao Zilan returned to the northern border, he encountered people from the Mengdong tribe checking, so it must be here.
And he also remembered that after Xiao Zilan disappeared, the leader of the Mengdong tribe was very angry. He once declared in front of the two armies that if Concubine Xiao was found, she would be thrown into the barracks and used as a military prostitute. After being humiliated, she would be sacrificed.
For a single woman wandering outside, this is such a terrible thing.
So at this moment, he can understand his aunt's decision.
The Dawa tribe, the Tiele tribe, and the Mengdong tribe were the last three tribes they annexed. I'm afraid that until now, my aunt doesn't know the news that the Mengdong tribe has been destroyed by the coalition forces.
Thinking of this, the second prince said to Xiao Zilan solemnly: "Aunt, you don't have to be afraid anymore. The Meng family in the Mengdong tribe have all been destroyed by our coalition forces."
"Your former husband, Meng Qin, was killed on the spot when we were clearing out the remnants of the Mengdong tribe. Aunt, you don't have to worry anymore."
When Xiao Zilan heard this, her whole body froze, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
The man who had awakened her from nightmares countless times, Meng Qin, was finally gone.
Back then, she was the most beautiful princess of the Xiaolin tribe. The leader of the Mengdong tribe came to marry her as his concubine.
She was unwilling to do so.
However, the Xiaolin tribe was small and could not compete with the Mengdong tribe.
If she did not marry, the Mengdong tribe might attack the Xiaolin tribe, kill her people, and swallow up their territory.
For the safety of the tribe, she married with tears in her eyes.
