Chapter 201: He stole Ci'an's identity and now wants to seize his throne!
Shen Changning was holding the baby and teasing him.
Seeing Shen Changle coming back, she returned the baby to the wet nurse and quietly left the inner hall.
"Changle, have you been to Qinghua Palace?"
"Ah."
"then you……"
Shen Changning hesitated to speak and glanced at Jiang Ci'an hesitantly.
Jiang Ci'an understood what Shen Changning meant, looked at Shen Changle who lowered his eyes and remained silent, and stepped away.
But the tone could not hide the loss:
"I... will go check on Huier."
He thought Shen Changle was also on guard against him, but he didn't expect that she would grab his hand.
"Ci'an, let's go together later!"
She raised her bright eyes and looked up at him.
It's written all over my eyes, "There are no secrets between you and me."
Jiang Ci'an's heart instantly cleared up, and he nodded and held her hand.
Seeing this, Shen Changning didn't think any more about it.
The three of them sat down and shared information.
"Changle, you recognized him too, right? He's Shen Li."
"Um……"
"His last name is Shen?"
Jiang Ci'an was surprised. Isn't Shen the surname of the Qi State?
Is it...
Not only is he a Qi native, but he is also a member of the Qi royal family?
Shen Changle nodded, glanced at Shen Changning's expression, and seeing that he did not stop him, he explained:
"He is my distant cousin. He once lived in the palace for two years, but later... by some strange coincidence he ended up in Anguo.
But didn't the intelligence report back then say that he died of illness as soon as he arrived in Anguo?"
She looked at Shen Changning in confusion, and Shen Changning also shook his head.
"He said he met Princess Anguo and didn't die. From then on, he changed his name to Mu Li and lived in Anguo as the son of a nobleman."
Hearing this, Shen Changle sighed softly and quietly held Jiang Ci'an's hand.
Reasonable speculation:
"The reason he was adopted by Princess Anguo is because he and Ci'an look... somewhat similar, right?"
"Well, he said that he even had his appearance altered in order to look more like the biological son in Princess Anguo's portrait."
"No wonder... I remember that when he left Qi, he only had a 30% resemblance to Ci'an in his eyebrows and eyes. Now, they have 70% or 80%..."
Hearing this, Jiang Ci'an breathed a sigh of relief.
This further proves that he is not a substitute for Changle!
Changle, did not lie to him...
He put his arm around Shen Changle's slender waist and held her in his arms.
I leaned against the top of her head, feeling relieved...
Shen Changning rolled his eyes at the clingy Jiang Ci'an with disdain and asked:
"I heard... Changle didn't recognize Shen Li and beat him half to death?"
Thinking of Shen Li's crazy look just now, Shen Changle sighed and shook his head.
Jiang Ci'an also looked at him angrily:
"Shouldn't he have fought? If Changle hadn't stopped him, he would have been a corpse by now."
Seeing that he was angry again, Shen Changle hurriedly squeezed his hand to comfort him and persuaded him:
"Ci'an, the Marquis of Xiangyang cannot die in the Qi Palace, and certainly not at your hands! Do you think your mother hates you?"
Jiang Ci'an's face darkened, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Shen Changle explained to Shen Changning:
"I cannot recognize him. As far as I know, Shen Li of Qi is already dead. He can only be my uncle, Mu Li, Marquis of Xiangyang of An."
Shen Changning nodded, and then saw her talking to herself in confusion:
"But... I'm very curious, why did the emperor's uncle travel with him all the way but didn't recognize his true identity?
Although his appearance has changed a bit, it shouldn't be so bad that he's unrecognizable, right?"
"Because he was wearing a mask the whole time."
No wonder...
"Then how did the emperor recognize him?"
"He took the initiative to recognize me. He said that when you arrive in Anguo, he will protect you for me, and..."
Shen Changning glanced at the depressed Jiang Ci'an, sneered, and warned him intentionally:
"He said that if I could support him to take the throne, then a hundred years of peace in Qi'an would be a piece of cake, and he would still make you his queen!"
Ah……
What a big ambition.
Jiang Ci'an sneered and said nothing.
Shen Changle slammed the table and stood up, furious!
"Outrageous! Is he addicted to stealing Ci'an's things? He stole Ci'an's identity and now wants to take his throne!"
"Changle..."
Jiang Ci'an was relieved but also a little worried when he saw her angry.
"Changle, your health is not yet fully recovered, so you can't have too much emotional fluctuation."
"Farewell..."
Shen Changle felt extremely distressed when she saw the man whose heart and eyes were filled with her.
Why is it that Shen Li has such a good life while he has to live a miserable life for half his life, even though they are both royal relatives living in exile?
Now, when he finally gets to meet his parents, he finds out that his mother has already found someone else to act as a substitute!
The love that was owed for many years did not accumulate and explode, but instead was given to the adopted son...
Then what is Ci'an?
Is he a dispensable person?
No wonder he was chopped into pieces by Lu Mingchao in his previous life...
Princess Anguo never came to see him!
Forget it, everything in the past life is just an illusion.
In this life, she will definitely protect him!
Whether it's his mother or his throne, she will help him get it back!
Hold it tightly in your hand!
"Brother, do you think I can kill him?"
Her eyes were determined and her tone was firm.
Shen Changning lowered his brows and shook his head slightly.
"It's difficult... I have investigated. As the adopted son of Princess Anguo and Prime Minister Anguo, he is very popular in the Anguo court.
If Jiang Ci'an hadn't returned to An, then the throne of Emperor An would have been his."
"What? He... is that strong?"
"Well, if he really died in Qi, An Guo would never let it go and would definitely provoke a dispute between the two countries.
Jiang Ci'an will also make many enemies after returning to China, and will have a hard time moving forward."
otherwise……
He wouldn't just lock him up.
Shen Li's father, King Wenxuan, was killed by Shen Tingyu himself.
Even for Shen Tingyu, he will keep a close eye on Shen Li.
"So, can we just let him go back like this?"
Shen Changle lowered his eyes worriedly.
Seeing her so worried, Jiang Ci'an smiled and took her into his arms and sat her on his lap.
"Changle, I'm not a three-year-old child. It won't be that easy for him to take the kingdom from me."
"But……"
Shen Changle was still worried.
But he reached back and took out a gold token from his waist, held her hand and placed it in her palm.
The golden order was heavy and engraved with symbols that Shen Changle had never seen before.
She couldn't understand what it was and looked through it.
It was Shen Changning who tilted his head in surprise.
"Is this... the An Guo military token?"
"Ah."
Jiang Ci'an raised his chin and looked at Shen Changle's wrinkled little face, then curled his lips and smiled.
"Changle forgot? My last name is Jiang."
Bewitched by his calm and low voice, Shen Changle felt tingling all over, his face flushed slightly, and he was slightly lost in thought.
It was Shen Changning who reacted first.
"Jiang Wen contacted you?"
Unexpected, but reasonable.
after all……
Jiang Wen, the chief general of Qi State, could not bear to see his own son being bullied by his ex-girlfriend's adopted son.
