After hearing Chu Zhan's words, Chu Qing was stunned in shock.
What did this kid Chu Zhan just say?
There was still a member of the Xiliang royal family in the Anduo family?
These words carried so much meaning!
Chu Qing's breathing quickened involuntarily. She spoke seriously, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier, brother?"
This bothered her a bit.
Chu Zhan didn't evade Chu Qing's somewhat accusing look. He said frankly, "I just found out. Because only our mother knows about this."
"Why did mother only mention it now?" Chu Qing frowned.
"Mother told me after she learned about the disgusting things the Xiliang emperor had done," Chu Zhan continued.
Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Chu Zhan in great shock. Then she turned around and hurriedly told Green Vine and Liu Xin to go out first.
"Does mother mean..." Chu Qing looked incredulous.
In Chu Qing's impression, Qin Zhao had always been gentle and virtuous.
Although she was a bit overbearing towards Chu Xing and Chu Zhan...
But no matter how Chu Qing looked at it, she didn't think Qin Zhao was the kind of person who would have such thoughts.
After being extremely disgusted with the person in power, she suddenly mentioned that there was someone in their family related to the royal family.
Qin Zhao wanted to kick Hu Yan Zhuori off the throne.
And Chu Zhan's expression confirmed Chu Qing's guess.
Her mother was really unexpectedly bold and decisive...
"Did mother say anything about that person's detailed situation?" Chu Qing took a long time to calm down before she continued to ask.
Chu Zhan sighed and then briefly told the origin of their relative.
The person related to the Xiliang royal family was their cousin, Anduo Zebu.
Well...
Hearing this, Chu Qing curled her lips. No wonder Chu Zhan had used this name before. Since there was such a person, Hu Yan Longhao didn't suspect anything.
But neither Hu Yan Longhao nor Hu Yan Zhuori probably thought of this person's real identity.
Anduo Zebu's mother was their aunt, Anduo Baima, Qin Zhao's younger sister. And Anduo Zebu... was the child of Anduo Baima and Hu Yan Zhuori. He could be said to be the illegitimate son of the Xiliang emperor...
Back then, Anduo Baima met Hu Yan Zhuori. Then she was coaxed by Hu Yan Zhuori, who had hidden his identity, with sweet words and was together with him for some time. It wasn't until she was pregnant that she discovered his identity and his true face. After realizing that Hu Yan Zhuori had just been playing with her, Anduo Baima resolutely left him. But out of pity, she gave birth to Anduo Zebu. She only said that he was an orphan she had adopted. So Hu Yan Zhuori really didn't know that he actually had a son.
Chu Qing took a breath and silently admired Anduo Baima's decisiveness. Then she continued to ask, "What did mother say to them? Logically speaking, our aunt shouldn't want to have too much to do with the Xiliang royal family, right?"
Chu Zhan rubbed his temples and said, "Our aunt has a very good relationship with mother. After receiving the letter mother sent, she agreed without thinking. And many people were already disgusted with Hu Yan Zhuori's daily actions. So... after our grandfather knew mother's idea, he agreed even more readily."
Hearing this, Chu Qing couldn't hide her excitement. "If so, then it would be a piece of cake for us to attack Xiliang, right?"
"Hu Yan Zhuori has become the target of public criticism. Now it depends on whether we can successfully solve the strange disease in Chuanzhou City."
When it came to the strange disease in Chuanzhou City, both the brother and sister's expressions darkened.
Chu Qing paused and then said, "I'll go to the palace later."
Chu Zhan nodded.
It didn't seem to be very peaceful on the emperor's side either.
...
After hearing Wuya's words, Wei Ying subconsciously frowned.
"People from Xiliang?"
They even dared to come to their Great Yan?
Wuya nodded and then directly took Wei Ying to their tent.
As soon as they walked in, a young man turned around when he heard the sound.
He had deep-set eyes and a high nose bridge. He looked exactly like a Xiliang person.
Wei Ying walked over expressionlessly and said coolly, "Who are you? What do you want to see me about?"
Hearing this, the other person's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I'm here to cooperate with you."
The overly simple answer made Wei Ying raise his eyebrows. Then he hooked a smile and continued slowly, "You didn't even say who you are. Why should I trust you?"
This person wasn't angry because of Wei Ying's words. He still looked indifferent and said, "My name is Anduo Zebu. I'm from the Anduo family in Xiliang. Also..." At this point, Anduo Zebu casually looked at the person beside Wei Ying.
Seeing this, Wei Ying turned around and looked at Wuya. "You guys go out first."
Wuya was a bit surprised. "Your Highness... what if he..."
"It's okay," Wei Ying narrowed his eyes.
Seeing Wei Ying like this, Wuya had no choice but to take the others out.
When there were only Wei Ying and Anduo Zebu left in the tent, Anduo Zebu casually found a place and sat down lazily before continuing, "I'm also your wife... the cousin of the Princess of Ning."
Wei Ying's pupils trembled slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
Chu Qing had mentioned her maternal grandfather's family to him.
The Anduo family.
Now that this person suddenly came, although Wei Ying was a bit stunned, he didn't suspect anything.
After all, except for their own family members, no one knew that Chu Qing had Xiliang blood.
After knowing the other person's identity, Wei Ying's expression naturally softened, and his tone was warmer than before. "How does cousin want to cooperate with me?"
Anduo Zebu didn't beat around the bush. He directly told everything about how his aunt had sent them a letter and how his mother had instructed him.
Since he was sensible, Anduo Baima had told him who his father was. He had a cold personality and didn't object to his mother's choice. Although he felt a bit unwilling in his heart, he buried it deep in his heart.
Until Anduo Baima told him the plan later, he readily agreed. Because... he realized that he was still a bit interested in the Xiliang throne.
As for that so-called father, he didn't have any feelings for him at all. Even because of his mother's subtle influence, he was very disgusted with Hu Yan Zhuori's various actions.
On weekdays, Anduo Baima always told him how smart, brave, beautiful, and kind his cousin far away in Great Yan was.
So he fully supported helping his cousin whom he had never met but liked very much.
And Wei Ying was also extremely shocked after hearing what Anduo Zebu said.
His gentle and virtuous mother-in-law was actually so... bold and decisive?
While sighing, he had to admit that Qin Zhao's idea was very beneficial to his own plan.
After all, besides saving the people in Chuanzhou City this time, he originally had the idea of attacking Xiliang.
