Chapter 1011 The Last Royal Family
The queen's face turned pale and she asked, "What did he say?"
"He has told me what should be told me." Yingren looked at the queen, "Mother, you are the princess of the Great Hua Empire. In my blood vessels, both the most noble blood of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Hua Empire flow. My uncle told me that if this country has a real master, it can only be me."
The queen's plump lips trembled slightly, "He has told you that he is your uncle?"
"My mother, is he my uncle?" Yingren stared at the queen's eyes, "Only you can tell me the answer."
The queen sighed and finally said, "Is he okay now?"
Yingren hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I have never told the Queen Mother the truth, I am just afraid... I am afraid that Queen Mother will be sad..." Looking at the Queen, she stopped talking.
What a smart woman the queen is. Yingren's expression and his desire to speak stopped, and the queen immediately understood something. She had already held up her hands and said in a trembling voice: "Can't he... already..."
"Mother, uncle has left." Yingren whispered: "He saved the child's life for me. If he was not my uncle, how could he make such a huge sacrifice...!"
Tears slid down the corners of the queen's eyes, and her eyes were filled with endless sadness. Yingren approached and held the queen's hand, "My mother, don't be sad. Although my uncle is gone, the child is still there. The child swears to protect the mother and not let anyone hurt you."
The queen said sadly: "He did not lie to you. He is indeed your uncle. He is the prince of the Dahua Empire... Twenty years ago, when the Zhongxiao Villa fought, the last warriors of the Dahua Empire almost lost all the Zhongyi Villa. Your uncle refused to admit that they were left behind and stayed there... Zhongyi Village, this name was changed well. The last warriors of Dahua were all loyal and righteous people!"
Yingren frowned and said, "Uncle is the only relative of the mother. Haven't he seen him again since then?"
The queen smiled bitterly and said, "Before your father unified the world, the mother had already had an engagement with the emperor. The mother promised him that as long as he captured Luo'an City, let the mother see Qu Chuli's traitor being removed, and the mother would marry the emperor... When the mother was six years old, Qu Chuli captured Luo'anjing, and the mother could only follow your uncle and wandered around the world under the protection of the last gang of warriors of the Great Hua Empire. At that time, the world was in chaos and the princes were in conflict. Your uncle took his mother to travel around and finally defected to your father's side...!"
Yingren nodded slightly and said, "The child knows that the banner his father had put forward at that time was to kill Qu Chuli and revive the Great Hua Empire..."
"Isn't blame your father?" The queen said softly: "The world is divided into pieces and fighting for the world. If the name is not correct, it will be unsatisfactory. Dahua is the court supported by the four surnames of Guanzhong. Qu Chuli captured the capital and was cruel and ruthless. He killed the four surnames of Guanzhong, Yuan, Shan, Zhuge, and became the four major surnames and suffered a catastrophe. Qu Chuli was even more a country's pseudo-Qi, calling himself the emperor... He is the evil thief of the country. If your father defeated the pseudo-Qi, it would be a matter of making the world come true..."
"But... although the pseudo-Qi was destroyed, the world was in the end. " Yingren said softly: "The father is lying."
"No matter what your father's original intention is, he can't be allowed to do so later." The queen sighed quietly: "What are the civil servants and military generals who fought with him in the world in the end? It's not for glory and wealth, and glorious ancestors. They followed your father to conquer the world, and they wanted to become founding ministers. At that time, the Dahua royal family was only left with their mother and your uncle. Even if your father was willing to return the world to the Yuan family, would those people under his command be willing?"
Yingren knew that Yingyuan was destroying the countries, but in the end he asked the people of the Yuan family to be emperors. Of course, it was impossible.
"When she followed your uncle to join your father, she really thought that your father might really be able to revive Dahua." The queen's voice was very light. Although she was over forty years old, she was well maintained, with natural temperament, elegant and luxurious skin, and she did not look loose and old because of her age. Instead, it was because of her mature temperament that she seemed more elegant and dignified, noble and natural. "My mother followed your uncle for ten years and defected to your father. Your father took great care of us..."
"Did your father announce to the people of the world that the princess and prince of Dahua are by his side?" Yingren asked in a low voice with his eyes flashing.
The queen looked at Yingren with a strange look, as if surprised by Yingren's words. After a moment, she sighed: "Yingren, you... have really grown up, and have really changed..." She stroked Yingren's face with her hands, "Your father once told me that to let a man grow up quickly, he must let him fight... He was right. You are now grown up and mature, but... the Queen Mother's heart...!" At this point, she just smiled bitterly and shook her head without continuing.
"My mother, so many people died in Tongtian Palace, you didn't see it with your own eyes." Yingren's eyes flashed, "That was the first time that a child saw such a scene. What is an enemy? I now understand that if your knife hesitates and does not decisively cut off the opponent's head, then the enemy's knife will definitely cut your throat... It's that simple. If a child wants to protect his mother, he must protect himself first. Lang Wuxu said nothing wrong. To protect himself, he can only get rid of the enemy and treat the enemy without mercy."
The queen closed her eyes and Yingren hurriedly said, "My mother, did the child say the wrong thing?"
"Child, you may not be wrong, but... you never want you to become such a person behind the scenes." The queen said quietly: "Do you just now think that when we defected to your father, the emperor would use us to put forward the banner?"
Yingren said: "The father was conquering the world and the banner he raised was to restore Dahua. Mother, you are the princess of Dahua and your uncle is the prince of Dahua. If you announce your existence to the world, the army of Daqin will naturally be more legitimate!"
"The most important reason why the Queen Mother admires your father is related to this." The Queen said: "Actually, your uncle also said at the beginning that when we defect to your father, he will definitely inform the four parties of our identity and use us as a banner, but the fact is not... When we defected to your father, although we told your father that our identity was not made public, your father did not make our identity public. At that time, there were very few people who knew that my uncle and I were, and there were not many people. Even today, in the Qin Dynasty, there were not many people who knew that my mother was Dahua's husband.
Lord, many people only think that your uncle is a rebel army who defected to your father, and few people know our true identity...!" Her expression changed and calmed down. "Your father told me that at that time, the princes fought for hegemony, not only were they fighting on the battlefield openly, but the princes also sent assassins to each other and secretly assassinated. Your father had endured countless assassins and almost succeeded several times. He was worried that if the identity of your uncle and I were known, people with ulterior motives would send assassins to assassinate, so in order to protect us, our identity was never made public."
Yingren just thought something and didn't say anything.
"But later, the iron hoofs of Qin State conquered the world, and the eighteen vassal states were defeated by the iron hoofs of Daqin. Your uncle gradually saw clearly that Dahua could no longer be revived. Your father's command always regarded himself as a minister of Daqin. No one would say that he was a minister of Dahua Dynasty. Even later, everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of Dahua Dynasty...!" The queen whispered: "After the battle of Zhongxiao Villa, so many people died. Your father sent someone to pick up his mother and queen, but your uncle finally said goodbye to his mother at that time. He told his mother that he would stay in Zhongyi Villa and guard the tombs for the dead Dahua warriors. They were the last warriors of Dahua. As the prince of Dahua, he stayed there to guard them so that their loyal souls could rest in peace."
Yingren's brows were slightly tightened, and after thinking about it, his lips moved slightly, and finally said, "My mother, uncle...uncle would rather separate from you than stay there. Is it just to guard the tombs of the warriors?"
Yingren was originally a smart person. He used to like to play and be carefree and did not focus on the struggle of people's hearts. However, he was Xu Congyang's disciple after all. He had read many books, and Xu Congyang also told him about the anecdotes and important things of the emperors and generals in the past. Now he was trapped in party struggles, and his mind seemed extremely flexible.
The queen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Actually, the queen of mother should know better than the child." Yingren looked at the queen's eyes, and the beautiful dark eyes were flashing. "My uncle stayed there, maybe just to protect the queen." He said slowly: "After leaving Zhongxiao Villa, the queen of mother has never seen her again, but... hasn't she ever had letters with her uncle for twenty years? Do she know nothing about everything about her uncle?"
The queen's body trembled slightly, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
"My mother, my uncle stayed in Zhongxiao Villa, probably because he knew that if he continued to follow her mother, he would probably end up implicating her mother." Yingren whispered: "My uncle has never forgotten that he is the prince of the Great Hua Empire. He has not forgotten, and his father will never forget that his father is the emperor of the Nine Five, and he will be the king of the world, and his mother is the king of the world, but what about the uncle? Will the father forget the fact that his uncle is the prince of Dahua?"
The queen held Yingren's hand and her voice trembled, "Child, don't say anything more. These words... are not what you should say... Forget these, the queen will find a way to let you leave the vortex and make you... peace!"
"It was a forced one for my uncle to stay in Zhongxiao Villa." Yingren did not stop, but continued to whisper: "Because my uncle knew very well that if he was still with his father, he would inevitably suffer a murder, and even... he would implicate his mother because of his reasons."
