From the perspective of ancient times, Nansen can be regarded as the "king of a country". Even now, his status is extremely noble, because the progress of the times does not necessarily lead to the advancement of people's wisdom. Sometimes, due to thousands of years of tradition,
, causing people to achieve post-mythical worship of those who have ruled them for a long time.
He would choose to tell those secret stories about the Borovian family to Shangguan Yu, an "outsider" who had nothing to do with the family, which shows that Nansen has full trust in Shangguan Yu, which is really rare for a young man.
"Bi Wen is a poor woman. For a long time I thought her birth itself was a mistake..."
Nansen let out a long sigh, with a tone of regret, as if opening a corner of a huge ink painting, and the story unfolded along with the thick and colorful outline...
"A long, long time ago, our ancestors discovered this island, and later developed and multiplied it. Today's Borovia exists, so our family..."
"So your family is very noble in the hearts of the people and their status is inviolable. They respect you like gods?"
Shangguan Yu answered Nansen's words, saying that he was a very smart and extremely perceptive man.
Even if Nansen's "story" has just begun, he can probably guess the ending.
He thought, this must be a story about love, the process is tortuous, even a bit dramatic, and the ending must end in tragedy. The one who is most affected by this "tragedy" now is probably the ten princesses...
…
"You are right. In the hearts of the people, we are like gods. They think that our blood is the noblest and our identity is the most inviolable. Maybe their morbid worship of us is even greater than you imagine.
It’s even more serious…”
Logically speaking, being supported by the people like a god is something to be proud of, but Shangguan Yu didn't see any pride on Nansen's face, and instead felt a lot more troubled.
"You don't seem to like this kind of support?"
Shangguan Yu asked.
"It's not that I don't like it, but that I can't bear it..."
Nansen shook his head helplessly: "You may not believe that in the eyes of the people, we in the Borovian family do not need to eat or go to the toilet, because this makes them feel that it is inconsistent with our identity..."
"They regard you as gods, so you must conform to the appearance of gods. You must not make any mistakes, let alone do things that gods should not do. Therefore, you are not as glamorous as you appear. You live under pressure.
Such pressure cannot allow a "defective product" like the tenth princess, who has a brain problem and ugly birthmarks on her face, to exist. So in order to maintain the dignity of your royal family, you locked her up, tied her up, and gave her heavy clothes since she was a child.
The mask is like covering a wound, hiding her all year round, afraid that she will embarrass your family and make a fool of herself?!"
Shangguan Yu chuckled and said sarcastically with some excitement: "If this is the case, your family is really 'noble'!"
Think about it, the "defective products" are all locked up and tied up, and what is presented to everyone is of course the so-called "noble perfection"!!
Strictly speaking, Shangguan Yu is not a person of noble birth. He does not have any noble blood, and he is even an abandoned baby. As the saying goes, the prince and general Xiang Ning have the kind...
His outstanding achievements today are all due to his own hard work. He never thinks that anyone is born noble and anyone is destined to be low.
Therefore, in his eyes, Nansen's "natural" logic made Shangguan Yu sneer.
Nansen also saw Shangguan Yu's "disdain" towards him. He was not angry, nor did he refute too much. But from the helpless smile on his face, it could be seen that the story might not be that "simple".
"You guessed it wrong. Even though Biwen has brain problems and a birthmark on her face, the irony is that she is the one with the purest bloodline in our family!!"
"oh?"
This was beyond Shangguan Yu's expectation.
"If you pay attention, you will find that Bi Wen's eye color is different from that of ordinary people..."
"Lilac!!"
Nansen nodded and continued: "Such an eye color is the color of people with the noblest bloodline in the Borovian family. Over the years, except for Bi Wen, I have only seen two people with such eye color. One is
My grandmother, Queen XIV of Borovia, had another..."
Nansen paused and suddenly looked at Shangguan Yu.
"You know this person too."
"Rao Mengyu?!"
Shangguan Yu's voice was filled with unbelievable surprise, as if he had heard some fantasy...
How amazing, he would never have thought that Rao Mengyu would be related to Borovia!!
"So, she has become the most noble person in your family?"
Shangguan Yu's voice was playful. The so-called "blood theory" was simply nonsense. The appearance of Rao Mengyu really slapped the mouths of these royal families with "noble" blood...
Because Rao Mengyu is an ordinary ordinary person, even with a "shabbier" background than ordinary people. She is an illegitimate daughter who cannot be seen in the light!
From Shangguan Yu's point of view, it doesn't matter what Rao Mengyu's background is, he is just afraid that these royal families who promote the "bloodline theory" will be a little embarrassed!
"I know you will think we are ridiculous, but for thousands of years, the Borovian family has believed this..."
Nansen continued with a self-deprecating tone: "But who knows, maybe it's heredity, maybe it's a genetic mutation..."
"In that case, why are you treating the tenth princess so cruelly? Not to mention how noble she is, she is also a princess and your sister!!"
Their contradictory behavior made Shangguan Yu confused and felt even more unfair for Bi Wen.
"You...some things are really not as simple as you think, Bi Wen..."
Nansen was hesitant and looked very embarrassed, as if he was hiding some dark secret. He was hesitating whether to tell Guan Yu or not.
"Don't worry, I just feel unfair for the tenth princess. I have no other purpose."
Shangguan Yu clarified firmly.
"I'm not worried that your motives are impure, it's just... it's just a family scandal, it's really a family scandal..."
"In this case, I won't ask any more questions, but I hope you can give Biwen her freedom. It's too cruel for her to be imprisoned at such an age!!"
The man's voice was cold, accusing and contemptuous, but his eyes were full of sympathy for Bi Wen.
Nansen nodded and promised: "I have been working hard, but my mother..."
"I guess she was jealous of Bi Wen's mother, so she took her anger out on Bi Wen's tattoo. Now that the old king has died of illness, she will be more tolerant of Bi Wen now!"
Shangguan Yu vaguely heard Nansen's mother mention her mother when she was scolding Biwen.
If a woman is like this and hates another woman, nine times out of ten, it’s because of a man!!
"Forget it, my mother is the queen, and Biwen's mother... is my aunt..."
"What!!"
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but whisper, and asked tentatively in disbelief: "So the old king and Bi Wen's mother are..."
"Brother and sister."
After finally telling the secret, Nansen felt relieved.
This secret is a red alert that the whole family cannot touch, and it is a shame that the family will never be able to wash away!!
Therefore, it is conceivable why Biwen was imprisoned, because if her "life experience" was leaked, the authority of their royal family would be greatly affected. When the time comes, the people will find that the "god" in their hearts has collapsed, and Borovi
Asia will definitely experience earth-shaking turmoil...
"I beg you to keep this secret for us!!"
Nansen looked at Shangguan Yu and said.
Shangguan Yu had not yet recovered from the shock. It took him a long time before he responded in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Now... I want to see her again."
Shangguan Yu didn't know why he had so much sympathy for Bi Wen.
Maybe it's because of her bumpy life experience, maybe it's her tragic experience, but more importantly, what men don't want to admit is that she has a pair of weird eyes like Rao Mengyu!!
I can’t bear to see Bi Wen get hurt. In fact, I just don’t want to see Rao Mengyu get hurt!!
----In the end, Nansen agreed to Shangguan Yu's request.
Thirty minutes before the plane took off, Shangguan Yu saw Bi Wen locked in a small room.
The doctor gave her a sedative so she could calm down.
She was sleeping at the moment, but even so, her hands and feet were still tied up, and her face was still wearing a thick mask.
"Untie her!!"
Shangguan Yu ordered coldly.
"But……"
The servants were a little embarrassed, but the man's natural majesty forced them to do it.
After Biwen's hands and feet were released, she murmured in comfort, and then deeply stretched her bound limbs. It was obvious that she was uncomfortable being tied up.
Shangguan Yu felt a trace of sourness in his heart, and he gently brushed away the woman's hair, which was already wet with sweat.
"You must be very hot..."
Even though it was so hot, he still refused to take off such a thick mask. Just looking at him made him feel distressed.
The man gently took off the mask for Biwen. Under the mask was a delicate face, but the dark red birthmark spread unsightly across the entire face...
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but frown. He didn't feel disgusted, but just felt distressed.
"No, don't take off my mask!!"
Bi Wen woke up suddenly. She opened her eyes and saw Shangguan Yu. She was stunned for two seconds, and then covered her face with her hands.
"It's ugly and scary, isn't it? The queen said that I was a devil or a ghost, and that these birthmarks were signs of sin..."
Biwen was no longer hysterical. She suddenly acted like a normal person and just covered her face and cried silently.
"No, you are an angel. Look at how beautiful your eyes are..."
"I……"
Biwen suddenly threw herself into Shangguan Yu's arms, crying and begging: "I know I'm terrible, and I also know I'll get sick, but I know you can save me, please take me away, okay? I don't like here, I don't
I like being locked up in a dark room, and I don’t like being called a devil..."
