Tang Miaoxin flexed her wrists, picked up the tea cup on the table and gave Prince Huai a cup of tea.
When she saw King Huai looking at her, she smiled slightly: "I had been in the martial arts world for a while, and learned some rope-untying techniques from others, which made Uncle Wang laugh."
Prince Huai looked at her like this and felt a little complicated.
Although she was brave, she was also very capable. King Huai was extremely doubtful that she dared to board his ship and that she still had backup plans.
After all, the fighting prowess she showed this time when she came to Huaizhou, as well as the ability to beat Zuo Xing's group just now, all showed that she was extraordinary.
And he didn't tell her about his past with Su Ling'er, yet she dared to board his boat and chat and laugh happily surrounded by people.
King Huai said in a deep voice: "I don't dare to laugh at you at all. After all, this is the first time that I have been tortured like this since I arrived in Huaizhou."
"Is it Ning Guzhou's intention to come to Huaizhou?"
Tang Miaoxin shook her head: "No, he didn't know that I came to Huaizhou. I ran out secretly."
When she said this, she sighed and said: "After all, there is no food at home. I can't just sit back and watch."
King Huai heard about what happened in Qinzhou and asked, "How did you defeat Linyuan last year?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "I was pregnant and about to give birth at the time, so I didn't participate in the fight."
"I asked Gu Zhou how he won, and he said he won by chopping up the Linyuan people with a knife."
The corners of Prince Huai's mouth twitched. Since his words had the style of Ning Guzhou, they also had the style of Tang Miaoxin.
He asked Tang Miaoxin: "Why did you come to Huaizhou to rob food?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "Because now only Uncle Wang has food here."
After she finished speaking, she took out a stack of banknotes from her arms and put it on the table and said, "Also, I'm really here to buy food, not to rob it. Uncle Wang, don't get me wrong."
When King Huai saw that the stack of silver notes in her arms was not small, he knew that she had indeed come with money.
King Huai asked her: "Since you are here to buy food, why don't you go to the palace to talk to me?"
Tang Miaoxin spread her hands and said, "I don't dare! After I came to Huaizhou, everyone told me that the prince is very careful about food."
"And most of those who raided Huaizhou's rice grains before did not end well."
"I thought that if I didn't bring food back to Qinzhou, many people in Qinzhou would starve to death, so I had no choice but to take risks."
"This time I acted a bit recklessly, and I offended a lot of people. Please, Uncle Wang, please don't argue with me."
King Huai looked at her and said, "Others cannot buy food when they come to Huaizhou, but you are different."
Tang Miaoxin asked: "How am I different?"
Prince Huai's eyes were deep: "Because your mother asked me to collect grain, a large part of these grain fields were originally collected for you."
Although Tang Miaoxin had guessed before that Prince Huai and Su Ling'er were probably old acquaintances, she was still very surprised when she heard his words.
She looked at Prince Huai and said, "My mother asked Uncle Wang to garrison her? What's going on?"
King Huai replied: "My life in the capital was very difficult back then. Your mother helped me several times and even saved my life."
"After Emperor Chengming launched a mutiny and killed the regent and Tang Jiuge, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and bloodbathed the royal family. I escaped because of my lame foot."
"Your mother had no choice but to marry Marquis Wanhu. It was she who helped me find a way to make me the King of Huai."
Tang Jiuge once told Tang Miaoxin about what happened back then, but she really didn't know that the reason why Prince Huai was named Prince of Huai was related to Su Ling'er.
She looked at King Huai, and he said softly: "Your mother asked me to start collecting grain after I established myself in Huaizhou."
"I asked her why she wanted to stockpile grain, and she said that it was to be prepared. If I had enough grain, someone would come to me this year to borrow grain and ask me to share some with him."
Tang Miaoxin had known before that Su Ling'er was very good at divination. She had seen Su Ling'er's shadow everywhere along her journey.
But at the beginning, I could only hear fragments of words and some clues from other people's mouths.
The last time she was in Rongzhou, she saw the letter Su Ling'er left for her, and this time she actually met the King of Huai who listened to Su Ling'er's advice and was collecting grain!
She suppressed the smile on her face, looked at Prince Huai seriously and said, "Uncle Wang, does he know the whereabouts of my mother?"
King Huai shook his head and said, "After I replaced your mother with a female corpse from the Wanhu Hou Mansion, something happened. Her carriage fell off a cliff and fell into the river."
"I spent a lot of effort to find her, but there was no news."
Tang Miaoxin looked at him: "It turns out that it was Uncle Wang who brought my mother out of Wanhuhou Mansion!"
She had always felt that there was a missing link in this matter, and she had been looking for the person who had rescued Su Ling'er.
I didn’t expect that person to be King Huai!
Prince Huai sighed softly and said, "It's my incompetence. If I had been more careful and cautious, your mother would have been safe."
Tang Miaoxin said softly: "My mother changed her destiny for me, which cost her all her luck."
"She paid a huge price for me. If you want to blame me for this, you can only blame me. Uncle Wang can't be blamed in any case."
King Huai saw that she was no longer as arrogant as when she first got on the ship, and there was actually a bit of calmness between the corners of her eyes and between her eyebrows.
King Huai then knew that her flamboyant and impetuous side was probably done deliberately to confuse him.
Seeing her like this, he felt quite happy.
He said quietly: "Sister Ling'er is extremely intelligent. I think she will leave a way for herself to survive, because she will definitely want to see you."
Tang Miaoxin said helplessly: "My father and I have been looking for her for the past few years, but there has been no news."
Prince Huai couldn't help but ask: "Your father? Is Tang Jiuge still alive?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded: "Yes, he is still alive. He returned to Guiqian and is now the leader of Guiqian."
King Huai: "..."
King Huai: "!!!!!"
This time he was really shocked.
He knew about Tang Jiuge and Su Ling'er at the beginning, but he really didn't know that Tang Jiuge had such an identity.
He thought of Emperor Chengming who had gone to great lengths to sit on the throne of the emperor, and felt a little ridiculed for no reason.
King Huai remembered another thing: "I heard that the ruler of the country who returned to Qian found his long-lost daughter a few years ago and made her the crown princess."
Tang Miaoxin said with some embarrassment: "That's me."
King Huai: "..."
He no longer knew what to say.
Who would have thought that the princess who returned to hiding would look like this!
He looked at her deeply, took a deep breath and said: "Since you are the crown prince of Gui Qian, if Qinzhou is short of food, you can just go to Tang Jiuge to get it. What are you doing here with me?"
