This was the second time Chu Qianli saw Long Ye after Chu Huaiyu assumed his identity last time.
The last time I saw him, he looked clearly in good condition.
When we met again this time, my face was already sallow, and it was obvious that time was running out.
"How could this happen?" Chu Qianli immediately rushed over and pressed her fingertips against Long Ye's pulse gate.
The pulse is weak and the breath is light, which is really a sign of death!
"Grandpa, why..."
"Dad has always had a serious illness, but he never mentioned it just to worry you."
Long Feifan's voice was a little hoarse.
Although he had known about Long Ye's situation for a long time, seeing him like this now made him feel indescribably sad.
"Grandpa..." Chu Qianli bit her lip. At this moment, there was nothing she could do.
Grandpa's organ failure is a disease accumulated over many years. Even in the 21st century, there is no cure.
Not to mention, in ancient times when medical skills were so backward.
Grandpa is so sick that there is nothing he can do about it.
"Your grandpa... is old." With Long Ye's help, Long Ye sat up and leaned on the bed.
He held Chu Qianli's hand and was in good spirits today.
But Chu Qianli knew that this was just a flashback, and he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"Little Li'er... don't be sad. Grandpa is getting old. This will happen sooner or later."
Long Ye glanced at Long Feifan.
Long Feifan immediately retreated to the door, observed quietly for a while, then looked at him and nodded.
After making sure it was safe, Long Ye tightened his fingers and held Chu Qianli tighter.
"Xiao Li'er, grandpa... grandpa helped outsiders and accused you... of not being Qian Yue's daughter. You... don't be angry."
"I know that grandpa must have done this because of your reasons. I'm not angry."
Chu Qianli rubbed the corners of her eyes and tried to calm down.
When her grandfather came to see her at this time, she knew that there must be something important.
She couldn't waste her grandfather's energy.
"My Li'er... is so well-behaved and sensible. It's so good, so good... It's a pity that grandpa... is really not your grandpa."
Chu Qianli was startled and looked at him in disbelief.
Could it be that she really wasn't Long Qianyue's daughter?
Why...why is this happening?
"You are not my granddaughter, and neither is Chu Huaiyu..."
Long Ye took a deep breath and forced himself to speak more eloquently.
"That day in the court, grandpa was unwilling to shed blood to recognize his kin, because he knew that neither your blood nor Chu Huaiyu's blood would blend with grandpa's blood."
His hand was held a little tight, so tight that Chu Qianli could clearly feel the pressure.
But why?
Long Ye looked at her, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "Because Qianyue... is not my daughter at all, she is... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Longteng Kingdom, Long Xiyue."
Chu Qianli has also heard about the current queen of Longteng Kingdom.
I heard that she used to be an imperial uncle and the biological sister of Her Majesty the Queen.
As for how she became the queen, Chu Qianli didn't know.
Long Ye's gaze fell on an unknown corner.
Thinking of those years, I feel indescribably heavy.
"Back then, Her Majesty the Queen prepared for the rainy day and placed her own people in various countries. Your grandfather, I...I, Long Ye, were the agents arranged by Her Majesty the Queen to go to the Beiming Kingdom."
Between countries, there are never permanent friends or permanent enemies.
We are prepared for a rainy day because we are afraid that one day, cracks will appear between the two countries that have friendly relations with each other.
Even, disputes.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
This understanding is not only shared by the Queen of Longteng Kingdom, but also by the emperors of various countries.
Therefore, in fact, every country must have spies sent by other countries.
However, the emperors of various countries can only place people in. As for those people, it is up to them to determine what status they can gain in other countries' courts.
Of course, there are also people who have lived in other countries for a long time and are no longer willing to obey the master of their own country.
But he, Long Ye, was a subject of the Longteng Kingdom for one day, and he was a servant of Her Majesty the Queen of the Longteng Kingdom for the rest of his life.
He will never betray.
I am loyal to Her Majesty the former Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Back then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was framed by Prince Liu, saying that she colluded with spies from the Beiming Kingdom to murder Her Majesty the Queen."
"Her Majesty the Queen has passed away, and Long Tianliu has become the new Queen. Her Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was carrying a stigma and was chased to death by Long Tianliu, all the way to Beiming Kingdom."
"Fortunately, Her Majesty the former Queen arranged for me to stay here, and my daughter Qianyue happened to pass away unexpectedly. So I asked Her Highness Xiyue to disguise herself as Qianyue and stay here with me."
The hardships and dangers involved seem like smoke now.
However, Chu Qianli knew very well the pain and pressure Long Xiyue faced at that time.
"There are two other reasons why Your Highness Xiyue stayed in Beiming Kingdom. First, the person who joined forces with Prince Liu was from Beiming Kingdom, and may not be the current emperor."
A murderous look suddenly flashed across Chu Qianli's eyes.
Long Ye held her hand tightly and said hoarsely: "But I have no evidence. His Highness Xiyue also wanted to find out about this matter at the time. Unfortunately...the truth was not found yet. She died unexpectedly in Beiming Kingdom."
.”
Chu Qianli bit her lip, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
Long Ye added: "There is another point, which is also the reason why His Highness Xiyue had to come to Beiming Kingdom."
"Grandpa, what is it?" she asked hurriedly.
Long Ye said: "Your Highness is looking for the jade seal passed down from the Longteng Kingdom."
At that time, the mysterious power from Beiming Kingdom colluded with Long Tianliu and seized the power of Longteng Kingdom.
I don’t know how they came to an agreement in the first place, but it seems that the agreement fell apart.
The man from Beiming Kingdom took away the imperial seal of Longteng Kingdom.
After Long Xiyue learned about this news, she fled on the one hand, and on the other hand, she also wanted to get Yuxi back.
"After His Highness Xiyue died unexpectedly, those old subordinates who were loyal to His Highness were all discouraged."
Long Ye looked at Chu Qianli, his voice became hoarse several times, and he could hardly speak.
Chu Qianli immediately massaged him to relax him, and finally he finally regained his breath.
"Because once Your Highness Xiyue dies, the bloodline belonging to Her Majesty the Queen will be cut off from now on. Even if everyone is unwilling, there is nothing they can do."
"I understand." Chu Qianli nodded, feeling heavy.
Without the royal blood, that is to say, without the backbone, how can everyone still fight?
Even if we fight, we don’t know why.
So what if I avenged the Queen? Who will be the new Queen in the future?
Even though Long Tianliu is the culprit, at least she is a member of the Long family.
At least, she is more qualified than anyone else to be Her Majesty the Queen.
Therefore, once Long Xiyue died, the loyal ministers of the old ministry were disheartened, so they could only scatter their things.
Thinking about it, it's still very sad.
However, the reason why grandpa told me all this today is because...
Chu Qianli looked at him, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Then... am I... Long Xiyue's daughter?"
