Chapter 159: Li Dai Tao Zong

Lin Yingxue was silent for a long time in the inn, and finally asked her if she wanted to live a life of food and clothing in the future. Xiao Cui naturally nodded without thinking when she heard this, otherwise she would not have been willing to gamble on everything she traveled thousands of miles to the imperial city to find this illusory opportunity.

After Lin Yingxue repeatedly confirmed her idea, she said that as long as she promised to do something for Lin Yingxue, Lin Yingxue could use Li De Tao Zombie and let her live as Murong Waner in the future. However, whether it was the thing she did for Lin Yingxue or the fact that she replaced Murong Waner in the future, there were great risks.

Lin Yingxue gave her three days to consider. Three days later, Lin Yingxue found her again. She nodded firmly at Lin Yingxue, thinking in her heart that she would never have a chance to turn over in her life. It would be better to take a gamble. If she wins the bet, she will be innumerable wealth in the future. If she loses, she will die.

She didn't want to give up this opportunity!

After receiving her accurate reply, Lin Yingxue tried to arrange her into the Li family without leaving any trace. Even the matter of breaking clothes was a part of their plan. Before implementing this plan, Lin Yingxue had already revealed that the missing princess was likely to be a maid in the Li family, so Zhou Shen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, appeared in time to rescue her...

So far, everything has been developing according to Lin Yingxue's plan - she has now been brought into the palace by Zhou Shen. According to what Lin Yingxue said, the emperor should come to see her in the past few days and find a way to confirm her identity. As long as she can pass the emperor's level, she will be Murong Wan'er in the future!

No, she has been since the moment she entered the Li family.

These days in the palace were the best days she had ever enjoyed in her life. This was the life she dreamed of living, so she would not give up on this opportunity no matter what!

"The Emperor is here-" After a few days of uneasiness, what should be coming finally came.

Xiao Cui got out of bed with the help of the palace maid. She didn't even dare to look up and see what the king of a country looked like in front of her, so she lowered her head and knelt down, "See the emperor, long live my emperor."

Although it was already spring, the floor tiles were still very cold. The biting chill ran straight into the bones along the knees. Xiao Cui gritted her teeth and held back, and her expression showed a little firmness.

"Let's go flat." Seeing Xiao Cui's face pale and her body as thin as paper, the emperor's compassion flashed by, so he asked Xiao Cui to get up and reply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Cui stood up with sweat with the help of the palace maid. Even though she had been instilling in herself the idea that she was Murong Wan'er these days, when it came to this last level, the feeling of guilt still made every meridian in her body tense up.

"What's your name?" The emperor picked up the tea cup at his hand and drank the tea slowly, but asked knowingly.

"Go back to the emperor, I... my name is Wan'er." Xiao Cui was used to calling herself a slave, but fortunately, she finally reacted and changed.

After hearing Xiao Cui’s claim, the emperor put down the teacup and glanced at Xiao Cui in a little surprised, "I heard that you have a jade pendant that you have been carrying since you were a child. Take it out for me to see."

Finally, it came. Xiao Cui took out the jade pendant that had been placed close to her body from her arms with trembling hands and handed it to the emperor. However, the emperor did not rush to reach out to pick it up. Instead, the father-in-law standing beside him took the jade pendant from Xiao Cui's hand with both hands, wiped it with his sleeve several times, and then handed it to the emperor after wiping the jade pendant reflecting.

The emperor took the jade pendant and looked carefully, and then his expression became a little calmer, "This is indeed the jade pendant I once gave Wan'er."

Unexpectedly, Wan'er was really the princess. Before the emperor asked for confirmation, Xiao Cui was still feeling a little uneasy. It was not until she heard the emperor confirm the origin of the fast jade pendant that Xiao Cui truly felt relieved.

But the emperor's doubts were not completely dispelled. The emperor winked at the palace servants beside him. Soon a palace servant came in with an old gray-haired woman, "Wan'er, do you still remember who this person is?"

Although the emperor's expression was a little gentler, the tone of his voice did not contain much emotion.

When Xiao Cui heard this, her heart suddenly felt a little slack. She originally heard Lin Yingxue say that since the death of King Zhao and Princess Zhao, all the servants in Prince Zhao's mansion have been dismissed. As long as she holds the jade pendant, she will be foolproof. That's why she dared to take this trap. But now the emperor has found such an old woman from somewhere to come.

If this nanny was indeed the one who served Murong Wan'er when she was a child, it would be fine, but if this person was just someone who had just invited her to test the authenticity of her identity, she had nothing to do with Murong Wan'er, then she would rashly come up to recognize her, and then everything would be over...

Although Xiao Cui had many thoughts in her mind, it was only a moment to truly flash. In the coolest weather in early spring, cold sweat soaked her underwear, but now this life-related identification still made her calm down quickly.

She raised her head and looked at the old woman in front of her with a little nervous look. She saw that the old woman was also staring at her, as if to prevent her from discovering anything. The old woman tried her best to endure her emotions, but the turbid eyes, which were already full of tears and the heartache on her face were beyond her disguise.

If the old woman in front of her was really pretending, then she would admit defeat! After gritting her teeth, Xiao Cui pinched her thigh hard, and then she threw herself into the old woman's arms with tears in her eyes. "Madam-" At the age of the old woman, if she had been taking care of Murong Wan'er, she must have called Murong Wan'er the person in front of her.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Cui rushed over, the old woman reached out and hugged her tightly, "Child, you have suffered over the years, but it was the nanny who didn't take good care of you..."

After saying this, the old man was already crying. Seeing this, Xiao Cui knew that she was gambled correctly.

Seeing that Xiao Cui recognized the old man from the Zhaowang Mansion, the emperor had almost identified Xiao Cui's identity. Because he had been with Murong Wan'er since he was a child, he told her almost everything that Murong Wan'er remembered when she was a child. So Xiao Cui picked one or two more things that only people close to Murong Wan'er knew, and so Xiao Cui's identity was completely settled.

From now on, there is no Xiao Cui in this world, only Murong Wan'er. Murong Wan'er leaned against the old woman's arms, and two lines of hot tears silently passed through her face.

"Take good care of the princess." Although it is a royal bloodline, I have not had much contact since I was a child, so the emperor's attitude did not seem very enthusiastic. After casually explaining to the palace servant, the emperor took the people out of the yard.

"Zhou Shen, since the identity of the princess has been confirmed, you know what to do with those who have hurt the princess." The reason why the emperor explained this was not because of his heartache, but Murong Wan'er was a member of the royal family after all. If the royal family did not even pursue this, where would the royal family face be placed?

"Yes." Zhou Shen bowed and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.

When the emperor saw Zhou Shen's entangled appearance, he could see Zhou Shen's thoughts at a glance, "Are you hesitating whether to touch the seventh lady of the Li family?"

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from your Majesty." Zhou Shen touched his head and smiled honestly.

"Haha, you, you have been with me for so many years, don't I understand you?" The emperor smiled and pointed at Zhou Shen, but then frowned in embarrassment. "This Li Aiqing has always been very in line with my heart. If I ordered the seventh lady of the Li family to punish him for this, I am afraid that Li Aiqing will have some complaints in his heart."

The emperor favored Li Zhengquan, which was known to all the civil and military officials of the court. At this time, Zhou Shen, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, should have said no more, but he always felt a little uncomfortable when he remembered that Murong Wan'er was beaten to death and was about to pass by in one breath.

"What the emperor said is that Miss Li Qi didn't know the identity of the princess at that time, and just treated the princess as an ordinary servant, so this matter was not blamed on Miss Li Qi..." Zhou Shen said, and the emperor nodded in agreement.

"But..." However, Zhou Shen changed his subject and continued: "Even if he is an ordinary servant, Miss Li Qi will be a little heavier. If the Weichen had not rushed over in time at that time, I'm afraid the princess would have already..."

Zhou Shen said this and stopped talking, but the emperor's expression changed slightly, as if it was a little shaken because of Zhou Shen's words.
