Chapter 407 "No, you are the emperor's younger brother."
As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, Chu Qingyang's eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at Zuo Chi and asking in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
"It means literally.
Chu Qingyang, you always thought that you were the one born now, so you were the one to bear everything.
But, you are wrong.
Those who the emperor wants to kill must be prepared from the moment he is born.
The person who is being tortured is not you, but the emperor.
He is your brother."
Zuo Chi took a step forward, looked at Chu Qingyang and said in a deep voice.
"No, it's impossible.
If the child that the damn old emperor wants to kill is him, why doesn't the empress dowager you call him send him out of the palace?"
Chu Qingyang said urgently.
Zuo Chi glanced at Chu Qingyang and continued: "Is it possible that the Queen Mother feels sorry for the emperor who almost drowned when he was born?
Moreover, the late Emperor was single-minded and could not accommodate the Queen Mother's two princes.
Even if the eldest prince had been born before you and the Emperor, the late Emperor would still have you."
When one of the twin brothers was killed, the Queen Mother thought of the pain the Emperor had suffered, and in the end, she chose you who had never suffered any pain."
"Stop talking nonsense here.
How old are you?
How do you know what happened back then?
What's more, this matter must be hidden by the palace.
How could the empress dowager really tell you all the circumstances at that time?
You said that the eldest prince at that time had already surrendered.
In this world, it is not true that the eldest son of the royal family is a twin and it is considered unknown.
Why did the late emperor order the killing of one of them?"
As soon as Zuo Chi finished speaking, he heard Chu Qingyang ask again in a deep voice.
But Emperor Zhengcang, who had been silent all this time, said: "Because of the identity of the queen.
I think you should have investigated the identity of the queen.
She was actually a woman sent by a foreign tribe for marriage.
She was given by the Supreme Emperor to the late emperor who had not yet ascended the throne.
The queen was beautiful, had a gentle temperament, and the late emperor was still young after he ascended the throne.
However, things are unpredictable, and it is a coincidence that this foreigner was none other than the former emperor who led an army to attack Wenyue Kingdom shortly afterwards, which caused its collapse and destruction. ” "So" Chu Qingyang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, looked at Emperor Zhengcang who was talking slowly, and still said in a deep voice.
Emperor Zhengcang nodded when he heard this, but did not speak immediately.
Instead, he walked out from behind the people who were surrounding him and stood opposite Chu Qingyang.
They were only six or seven steps apart.
They were exactly the same and almost familiar.
Emperor Zhengcang's Zuo Chi couldn't tell the difference between his similar faces.
No one who saw this scene would have thought that Xi Ning actually had a twin brother today.
After Emperor Zhengcang walked over and stood still, he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingyang quietly.
This man was actually his biological brother.
Originally, the two of them could be said to be the most closely connected and inseparable brothers in the world.
Now, But it turned into such a situation where it was either you or me who died.
Emperor Zhengcang was too complicated to explain how he felt.
However, in the end, it was heartache and sadness that were greater than resentment and resentment.
After a while, I finally heard Emperor Zhengcang say: "As we all know, the Supreme Emperor had no intention of annihilating the Wenyue Kingdom at that time.
He just wanted to use Wenyue to stabilize the border and deter the Hui Qiang tribe who were also ready to move.

However, when the late Emperor first led troops, he conquered Wenyue's army several times.
There were very few people in Wenyue who could rival him.
Seeing this, the late emperor couldn't help but feel proud, and he couldn't help but forget about it.
Even the late emperor who commanded Xining's army at that time couldn't help but feel proud.
Unable to contain his determination to demonstrate his strength through meritorious deeds, he led his army forward and marched forward, ignoring Wen Yue's wishes for peace and going his own way, finally destroying Wen Yue's country in a few days.
However, the late emperor was there.
At that time, he promised many soldiers around him many benefits and changed the military report, claiming that Wen Yue was stubbornly resisting and his persuasion was useless.
The late emperor had no choice but to send troops to wipe out all of them. " When Emperor Zhengcang said this, he saw everyone's expressions of surprise.
He couldn't help but recall the shock he felt when he first ascended the throne, looking through the former emperor's old memorials and many secret letters, and learning everything.
Emperor Zhengcang paused, looked at Chu Qingyang's serious expression, and then said: "I was shocked when I learned about these past events later, but my expression was the same as yours at the moment.
The small country of Wenyue was not taken seriously by the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor immediately believed what the late Emperor said, and it was not until the Supreme Emperor abdicated that he , I never knew the secret.
But the emperor was different."
Emperor Zhengcang changed the topic and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the late emperor in his words and expression: "The Queen Mother belongs to the Wenyue Royal Family.
The late Emperor knew that even if he destroyed Wenyue Kingdom, there was no guarantee that one or two fish that slipped through the net would not find the Queen Mother and tell everything.
Moreover, the late Emperor ascended to the throne soon after, and When I found out that my mother was pregnant, the doubts in my heart did not dissipate until you and I were born.
The late emperor knew that the eldest prince had been born before his mother gave birth, but he was still worried about the future of the two princes born to his mother. have One day, I learned about the secrets of the past and joined forces with my mother to seek revenge for Wenyue Kingdom.
Therefore, I must order the death of one of the princes born to my mother, me.
He breathed his last, but came back to life when the late emperor left his mother's palace.
But the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the emperor saw it with his own eyes.
There must be one of you and me who must be free from the ghost as soon as possible.
Send him out of the palace unconsciously."
"So, you were the one who drowned, you were the one who came back to life, you were the one who suffered all the hardships, and it was me who was sent out of the palace to find a way to survive."
When Chu Qingyang heard this, she looked at Emperor Zhengcang said calmly.
After hearing what Emperor Zhengcang said, Chu Qingyang's expression turned out to be uncharacteristically indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with me, but it was so calm that it was scary.
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Chu Qingyang acting like this, but he still nodded and said:
"Yes, as you said, I survived the catastrophe, but it was actually a second life given by God out of pity.
The queen mother really couldn't bear for me to continue to suffer, so she cruelly chose you at the last moment.
So, it's what Zuo Chi said.
"Yan, I am your brother."
"Brother, brother, it turns out that I am the most ridiculous and pathetic one."
Chu Qingyang snorted after hearing this, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Chu Qingyang, now that everything has been revealed, what else do you have to hate?
Stop it."
Zuo Chi saw that Chu Qingyang seemed to be in a daze, so he immediately took a step forward and said to Chu Qingyang in a deep voice.
But when Chu Qingyang heard the words, she slowly turned her head around.
Her eyes seemed to be looking at a funny person.
She actually sneered at what Zuo Chi said and looked at Zuo Chi with a strange expression.
After a moment, Then he asked hesitantly: "You told me to stop":
