Chapter 149

Xie Yingmei swallowed a mouthful of medicine and looked at Xiang He timidly. "Princess, do you have anything to tell me?"

"I really have something." Xiang He's complicated eyes fell on her. "Why on earth were you chased and killed by bandits?"

Xie Yingmei's eyes darkened. She put down the medicine bowl and sucked her nose. "I thought the princess wouldn't ask."

"Although you are my cousin, I am still responsible for Qi and Qin countries. I can't let people with unknown whereabouts come in." Xiang he stared at her firmly. "Was your house robbed by bandits when you passed here?"

Xie Yingmei nodded in tears and said softly, "yes. My father and mother were killed by the bandits, and I was almost taken away by them."

Xiang He half narrowed his eyes. "So it is. Do you know where those bandits came from?"

Xie Yingmei shook her head. He said blankly, "I don't know, but the bandits in this section are famous for their ferocity and cruelty. I don't know whether the soldiers of any side fled and gathered into bandits."

Xiang he asked again, "since you said I was your cousin, your home should be in the state of Qin. Why did you come from the state of Qi?"

Xie Yingmei bit her lip and said, "my family does business in the state of Qi."

Xiang he smiled. His eyes lowered his voice menacingly, "you'd better tell the truth honestly. I won't leave innocent people here. Do you want me to go there to look for your parents' bodies?"

Xie Yingmei begged for mercy and said, "princess, forgive me. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"Well," Xiang He raised his eyebrows. "It seems that you are really deceiving me. Who the hell are you? Why can't four or five bandits catch you and escape, and how have you seen me before?"

"I've seen the princess before," Xie Yingmei said hurriedly, "but the princess seems to be a little different."

"As like as two peas, I see how it is now," he said. "He has coughed his throat." you haven't said who you are yet.

Xie Yingmei showed an embarrassed expression and scratched her head. "I don't really know who I am... I only remember my father saying I am Xie Yingmei, and I don't know anything else."

Looking at her ignorant appearance, Xiang he almost laughed. "You'd better be honest, or I'll send you back to the bandit's nest. Since you don't know who you are, how do you come? These lies are endless."

Xie Yingmei hurriedly said, "this is what my father taught me. He told me that if I met someone who asked your identity, he would say that his parents were killed by exile bandits and ran out alone."

"What does your father do?" Xiang he became more and more confused. "How can he hide his identity?"

Xie Yingmei shook her head. "I don't know if the princess can't send me back to the bandit's nest." she prayed.

Xiang He sneered: "are you half true or not? How can I believe you? Why don't you take it to the bandit's nest and see who you are."

Xie Yingmei pulled her sleeve in panic, "no, I don't want to go back. The people there are fierce and scary."

"The people here are also fierce, especially in the face of liars," said Xiang He with a smile. "Why do you pretend to be the princess's cousin? Don't you even know that the princess doesn't have a cousin?"

Xie Yingmei was stunned and muttered, "I didn't expect..."

"Lying also needs to make a draft," Xiang he rubbed his head distractedly. "There are so many cousins. Zhao Qingyao's mother is also Mrs. Heyi's cousin. You have another cousin."

Xie Yingmei listened to her, her lips trembling.

Xiang he asked impatiently, "what else have you not explained?"

Xie Yingmei tilted her head and thought for a while before slowly saying, "princess, you are not the emperor's child. How can you marry the state of Qi? Isn't the emperor asking for an orthodox princess?"

Xiang he trembled and looked at her incredulously, "Princess Poyang is a dignified princess. What is not the emperor's child..."

"But my father said the princess belonged to King Chen," said Xie Yingmei strangely. "That's what he told me when I saw the princess when I was a child."

Xiang he stood up stiff, his trembling hands pushed to the edge of the bed, and the bowl of soup medicine splashed all over the ground.

Xue ronghua looked at the pale Xiang He and hurried into the tent. For a moment, he was puzzled, "didn't you interrogate the woman saved yesterday? How did you become this face?"

Xiang He twitched at the corners of his mouth and asked, "you know the reason why the emperor can't accommodate the princess is that the former queen said before she died that the princess's life experience is in doubt."

Xue ronghua nodded unidentified. "Both Duan Wang and I know this and are ready to argue with the emperor. Unexpectedly, we were stopped on the way to the imperial study."

Xiang He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "the woman I met last night said she had seen the princess when she was a child."

"Didn't she make it up herself?"

"Then she asked me why the princess was not the emperor's child and could still marry to the state of Qi," Xiang He looked at her faintly. "She also said that her father had told her when she was a child that the princess belonged to King Chen."

Xue ronghua's face grew gloomy. "Her father?"

"She didn't say who she said. She said she only remembered her name and forgot everything else," Xiang He clenched his sleeves and clenched his teeth. "How could the princess not be the emperor's child and how could she be a traitor's child."

"Don't worry. Now Xirong may think she is a big Princess and will still help," Xue ronghua comforted in a soft language. "But what is the origin of this woman? It seems that she has a deep relationship with the princess, Mrs. Heyi and Prince Chen."

Xiang Horton paused and continued: "after I learned about the king Chen, I didn't ask any more questions. I don't know who she and her father are. How can I know this?"

"You don't have to believe what she said. Maybe she lied to you again," Xue ronghua said calmly. "I'll go to Duanwang right now and cross examine the woman with him. What's her name?"

Xiang he recalled, "Xie Yingmei."

"Xie Yingmei?" Xue ronghua looked at her strangely. The name sounded very familiar and seemed to float in his ears.

"Why, do you think the name is good?" Xiang he glanced at her.

Xue ronghua quickly shook his head. "I just feel like I've heard the name. I can't remember it all at once."

"That woman is not from the state of Qi. She may be a lady of a family who has fallen into the hands of bandits."

Xue ronghua cried and said, "don't make wild guesses by yourself. Let Duanwang and I handle this matter. You are a grand Princess of Qin. Don't always wander around in the team and make people suspicious."

Xiang he lowered his eyelids and suddenly raised his head, "pay attention."

Xue ronghua was stunned. "Pay attention to what? Are you afraid she will bite?"

Xiang He pursed his lips. "There is a big birthmark at the end of her eyes, like a Begonia flower. Don't be scared."

It was already dark. Xue ronghua stood outside the tent and dared not go in. Her head was blank. She could clearly hear the sound of insects in the weeds.

Xie Yingmei, a birthmark like Begonia flower. Xue ronghua took a deep breath. Who else is there besides general Xie's daughter? Since her father told her, is general Xie still in the world.

Think of that war as an elaborate trap for the emperor to punish the superior officials. Meng Qianzhong took advantage of her mental fatigue and joined forces with treacherous officials to kill Mu family army who worked for the country far away on the border between Qi and Qin. 100000 soldiers were not killed by the enemy, but were drowned by the blood of their comrades in arms, becoming the "traitor to be killed" among the world's population A huge injustice.

She thought all the soldiers of Mu family army had died in that trap. Unexpectedly, Xie Yingmei, who went out with the army, still lived in this world. She lifted up one curtain, peeped inside, and hurriedly retracted.

After so many years, she had never seen Xie Yingmei several times when she was a child. In this way, I'm afraid she can't recognize her, and Xie Yingmei can't recognize herself under other people's face.

Xue ronghua wiped the sweat from his hands and crept into the tent.

Xie Yingmei reacted very quickly. In the twinkling of an eye, she saw her come in and asked blankly, "who are you? Why didn't the princess come?"

"I......" Xue ronghua stammered. "I'm the one who escorts the princess."

Xie Yingmei nodded, "what are you doing here?"

"The princess asked me to accompany you," Xue ronghua thought for a moment and said, "the princess still doesn't believe you very much. Ask me to come and ask."

Xie Yingmei lowered her head in frustration. "Why doesn't the princess believe me? I told the princess everything."

"You told the princess too little," Xue ronghua smiled, trying to make himself look more friendly. "Do you really don't remember anything, or are you fooling us?"

Xie Yingmei straightened up in panic, "I dare not fool you. If so, the princess will send me back to the bandit's nest."

"Bandit dens?" Xue ronghua was stunned. "Did you grow up there?"

Xie Yingmei didn't answer her, but begged for mercy: "I don't want to go back. I want to follow you. Let me be an ox and a horse."

"We have enough horses," Xue ronghua Yang raised his hand. "Can you take us to that bandit's nest?"

The fear in Xie Yingmei's eyes slowly increased, and her hands seemed to be resisting something. "I don't want to go, there are a lot of people dead there."

"Do you still kill people in the bandit's den? Who are those people?"

"It's a traitor, a deserter, and others don't want it," Xie Yingmei shook her head and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to go there."

Xue ronghua saw that she was so anxious that she was sweating. He quickly hugged her in his arms and coaxed her carefully: "since you don't like it there, the princess will help you get rid of those bad things, okay?"

Xie Yingmei struggled in her arms and asked, "will the princess help me?"

"Yes, the princess's promise will be fulfilled. Now she promises to help you solve the bandit nest," Xue ronghua smiled at her, "but if you don't explain it to us, we can't find that place."

Xie Yingmei quickly grabbed her cuff. "I know where that place is."

"Then take us," Xue ronghua said nervously. "Is your father there, too?"

"There, I escaped from him."

Xue ronghua looked at her with satisfaction. "You're going to take us to the bandit house. When we're done, you won't have to go back to that place again."
