After rebirth, my mother came to power based on her son.

Although Li Xiao said that Chaogecang was most likely the real second prince of Wuyun Kingdom, he still sent people to investigate.

It would take a long time to send a message to the Wuyun Kingdom for questioning, so Li Xiao directly sent secret guards to question many soldiers who had fought against the Wuyun Kingdom, including her younger uncle.

"We asked a total of seven or eight soldiers who had been to the border battlefield of Wuyun Kingdom, three generals and four soldiers.".z.

"Everyone else said that they have heard of the name of Chao Gecang, the second prince of Wuyun Kingdom."

"It is said that the first and second princes of the Wuyun Kingdom are all descendants of the queen, but almost all the first princes who went to the battlefield before were the first princes of the Wuyun Kingdom, so they have never seen this second prince."

"Only General Shen said that he had met the second prince of Wuyun Kingdom on the battlefield three months ago."

"It's just that the second prince of the Wuyun Kingdom did not appear in the Wuyun Kingdom as the second prince at that time, but as a military advisor."

"He met him once before when the two armies were fighting, and I remember his appearance."

"Strategist?" Li Xiao laughed: "It seems that he is quite suitable for him, he is full of bad ideas."

Li Xiao glanced at Mu Qingge who was standing aside: "Perhaps this series of things related to the envoy of Wuyun Kingdom were all caused by him."

Mu Qingge turned her head and pretended not to hear.

She seriously suspected that this person was trying to point her out.

"General Shen said that this year the commander-in-chief of the Wuyun Kingdom will still be the eldest prince of the Wuyun Kingdom."

"He also specially painted a painting and asked me to present it to Your Majesty, saying that the eldest prince of Wuyun Kingdom was in the painting."

"In order to prevent it, the eldest prince of Wuyun Kingdom sneaked into our country of Li without anyone knowing when. You can show the portrait of the eldest prince to your majesty and the guards around the queen."

The secret guard presented a painting, and Li Xiao reached out to take it and unfolded the painting.

Mu Qingge quietly turned her head and her eyes fell on the portrait.

Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a bit of ridicule: "The eldest prince and second prince of Wuyun Kingdom are from the same mother?"

"yes."

Li Xiao rolled up the portrait again: "You can't see it at all."

"These two brothers have the same father and mother, but their styles are completely different."

"The eldest prince is so strong and strong, he looks like a mountain just standing there."

"Except for being taller, this second prince doesn't have many of the characteristics of a Wuyun countryman. Compared with other Wuyun countrymen, he looks more like a frail scholar."

Mu Qingge nodded secretly in her heart, fully agreeing with Li Xiao's words.

She had met people from the Wuyun Kingdom before at Princess Huayang's place.

She had only seen him there, and with her meager knowledge of Wuyun Country before, in her mind, the people of Wuyun Country were all painted with the physique and appearance of the eldest prince.

But this second prince looked nothing like a person from the Wuyun Kingdom, either in physique or appearance.

That's why she had no doubts at all when she rescued him.

After the secret guards left, Li Xiao summoned the chamberlain: "Send an order to the guest house and tell them that the identity of the second prince of Wuyun Kingdom has been confirmed and he can move around freely."

"But the second prince of Wuyun Kingdom has no other attendants around him. He seems to be very worried about his life. The guards who were by his side before are probably still following him."

"yes."

Chao Gecang's identity was confirmed, and in the afternoon, the Minister of Rites entered the palace.

"The envoys from various countries have almost arrived. When will your Majesty's reception banquet be held?"

"The reception banquet?" Li Xiao put down his pen and rubbed his wrist: "Go to Qin Tianjian to see how the weather has been in the past few days. Let's choose a day with better weather, preferably when the sun is shining, to hold the reception banquet."

"yes."

The Minister of Rites responded and withdrew.

Mu Qingge saw Li Xiao suddenly stand up, walk to the bookshelf, stare at the books on the bookshelf for a while, then take out a few books from the bookshelf and flip through them.

Mu Qingge glances

After taking a quick look, Li Xiao saw that the book he was reading was called: Customs of Western Shu.

"..."

"Why did you suddenly start reading this kind of book?"

Li Xiao laughed: "This kind of book? What kind of book is this?"

"When you say this, it's easy for people to misunderstand me. People who don't know, think I'm reading something I shouldn't be reading."

Li Xiao joked for a few words, and then answered her question seriously: "I'm going to have a feast soon."

"This reception banquet is different from the previous one alone with Western Shu. We have envoys from many countries together."

"Do you think there will be someone tampering with the reception banquet?"

Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, that was true.

Envoys from all over the world are coming to this reception banquet. If anyone wants to cause trouble, they will not miss this opportunity easily.

"The standards of this Fengfeng Banquet are high, and everyone will handle it with caution."

"Eating and use, everything that guests need to come into contact with will be inspected again and again."

"It's not easy to tamper with those things."

"It should be said that it is not easy to manipulate things on the surface."

"So, they can only come here to have sex."

Mu Qingge looked at the book in Li Xiao's hand, was it for Yin?

She stared at the name of the book for a long time and vaguely understood.

She was silent for a moment: "Do you need me to participate in this reception banquet?"

The corners of Li Xiao's lips curled up: "You need it."

"I actually planned to let you stay at Yunxi Valley."

"You have to attend the Jiefeng Banquet, but the person attending the Jiefeng Banquet will only be a substitute."

"As I said just now, something will definitely happen at the Jie Feng Yanyan. If they want to cause trouble, they will be hard-pressed to prevent it."

"It's too dangerous. I don't want to put you in danger."

Of course Mu Qingge knew what Li Xiao was thinking, but...

"I'm afraid this won't be easy. After all, my identity is always the Queen of Li Kingdom."

"There are countless people watching, and countless people want to harm me."

"Unless I hide in the dark forever and only expose my substitute to the public, I will always be in danger."

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?"

Li Xiao suddenly fell silent. After a while, he suddenly laughed to himself: "I know, of course I know everything."

"I actually understand all these principles."

"I feel the same way, so after I ascended the throne, although I thought many things were dangerous, I never used a substitute."

"But if the same thing happens to you, I just...can't accept it."

"It's because I feel like I can't bear the possibility of losing you."

Mu Qingge's eyelashes trembled and she pursed her lips: "Don't think you can bribe me with your sweet words."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "A man's mouth is a liar."

Before Li Xiao could hear clearly, she raised her voice again: "Anyway, I won't use a substitute when the time comes."
