Chapter 852: Chapter 850: The True and False Princess of the Great Wei Dynasty

He recalled the news of Chu Yihan’s grand wedding that spread across the world some days ago and asked curiously, “Is this lady the Ninth Princess Consort?”

Su Yingxue was named.

Chu Yihan let go of the hand he was holding hers with, allowing her to pay her respects to the emperor of Wei.

Carrying the hem of her dress, Su Yingxue walked to the front of the hall, bowed deeply, and said, “Greetings to the emperor, I am the Ninth Princess Consort, Su Yingxue.”

Just as Qin Rulie was about to say, “Please rise,” his gaze fell upon her face, and he was abruptly taken aback, “You… how could you bear such a resemblance!”

As the sovereign of a nation, he composed himself enough not to step down immediately to examine Su Yingxue up close.

Yet he couldn’t help but gesture, “Ninth Princess Consort, please come closer so I may take a good look at your features.”

How could she look identical to his little cousin, Qin Zheng!

Su Yingxue thought for a moment. Since this emperor of Wei was also supposed to be her cousin, she stepped forward a few paces.

Qin Rulie felt immensely shaken inside. He and his little cousin Qin Zheng were not far apart in age, and he remembered her appearance vividly.

In those days, the Great Wei Dynasty admired the foremost beauty, the incomparably stunning young princess.

Anyone who had seen her would not forget.

All the more so when she was his own cousin.

Qin Rulie took a deep breath to calm the shock in his heart. “Had we not already found cousin Zhao Hua, I would certainly have mistaken the Ninth Princess Consort for my little cousin’s daughter! Ninth Princess Consort bears a striking resemblance to her!”

“What? Cousin Zhao Hua?” Su Yingxue was somewhat shocked. “The emperor has already found… your little cousin’s daughter?”

Wasn’t that supposed to be her mother?

She was here in person, so whom had Qin Rulie found?

Whenever he spoke of Zhao Hua, Qin Rulie’s rough features softened a little, “Indeed, it is also fate. Having been lost for many years, she was surprisingly found in the Great Cheng Dynasty. Her appearance bears some similarity to the Ninth Princess Consort, and now that she has been found, she is currently by the imperial grandmother’s side. To compensate for her many years of hardship, I have conferred upon her the title of Princess Zhao Hua and am planning to arrange a marriage for her with my fifth brother, Mu Yan.”

“But…” Su Yingxue bit her lip, the one they had found was an imposter!

She was her mother’s daughter!

Chu Yihan stepped forward and took her hand, steadying her mind with a serene gaze toward Qin Rulie, “Has the emperor already confirmed Princess Zhao Hua’s identity? She is indeed the daughter of the Eldest Princess?”

“Of course, cousin Zhao Hua’s appearance is proof enough.” Qin Rulie chuckled, stroking his beard.

This was an affair of the Great Wei Royal Family; he would not reveal too much to an outsider.

Chu Yihan, being a wise man, did not ask further. He took Su Yingxue to the palace.

Yet his actions left Qin Rulie with doubts in his heart.

In terms of appearance, Su Yingxue bore a much stronger resemblance to Shen Yu and his little cousin than the other did.

But Shen Yu’s identity had already been verified, hadn’t it? Her adoptive parents and background all matched up with the disappearance of Qin Zheng. Inside the palace, Su Yingxue felt uneasy, “Why is this happening? Could someone be impersonating me?”

Before, Qin Muyan had mentioned to her that their Imperial family had always been searching for the whereabouts of Qin Zheng and her daughter, and she had felt quite sympathetic.

But now that the truth was out, she was the one they were searching for!

Chu Yihan sat beside her, holding her hand, “Clearly it is so. We’re just waiting for Qin Rulie and Qin Muyan to investigate the imposter.”

“Hubby, have you taken action again?” Su Yingxue sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. Chu Yihan’s eyes, dark as black glass, radiated an enchanting light.

It was mesmerizing.
