At that time, the old Princess Chu had two sons, a pair of twin brothers, and she only announced to the outside world that she only had one son. The two brothers were never allowed to appear in front of others at the same time.
Back then, when they were young, they asked their mother, but her mother said it was just a game, playing hide-and-seek with everyone. If it was known that there were two people who looked exactly the same, one of them would be taken away, and another person would be taken away.
Can't come back either.
Therefore, in order to prevent each other from being taken away, they cooperated very well and never revealed that they had an older brother or younger brother.
Moreover, when Chu Wusheng was carried out, the old Princess Chu asked him to say that she was Chu Yingyi, and also told him that this was a game.
Chu Wucheng liked his younger brother Chu Yingyi very much, so he also liked to call himself his younger brother in front of others, so he agreed to the old Princess Chu.
Back then, they obeyed the old Princess Chu's words and words, and were very simple. They would not even doubt whether the old Princess Chu was deceiving them.
Later, without warning, Chu Yingyi was imprisoned in a dark room. From that time on, Princess Chu only took Chu Wucheng out to meet people. Although she still allowed the two brothers to meet in private, she did not
Chu Yingyi was not released.
Later they discovered that the door of the house had a large crack, which could allow a child of their size to pass through.
Therefore, Chu Wusheng felt sorry for his younger brother being locked up, so he proposed to exchange identities with him and let his younger brother go out for a while, and then switch back again when he had enough fun.
Chu Yingyi had not been outside for a long time. She was happy for a while and ran around excitedly. Unknowingly, she came to the back of a rockery.
At that house at that time, the old Princess Chu was talking to a strange man wearing a black hat, and he happened to hear the content of the conversation clearly.
At that time, what he said to them was not very clear, but he understood it somewhat.
That is, the reason why the two brothers cannot appear in front of others at the same time, and even announce that she has only one son, is entirely because the old Princess Chu knew that she had twins in her belly before she was pregnant. At that time, she
I have decided to leave only one person behind.
The person whose name is announced to the public is the one who stays.
The other person will be sacrificed to the gods.
At that time, Chu Yingyi didn't know what the so-called sacrifice was, nor what the sacrifice was, but he knew that if he was used as a sacrifice, that person would die.
But even now, he still doesn't know exactly what their words mean. Why do their mothers and concubines insist on sacrificing their children to the gods?
At that time, the matter that the old Princess Chu was discussing with the stranger was about the memorial ceremony.
Before Chu Yingyi thought about it, she immediately ran back and pulled Chu Wusheng away without saying a word.
When Chu Wusheng asked him why, he just told Chu Wusheng to believe that he was the one and just leave him. Don't ask so many questions.
Chu Wusheng had always doted on and trusted his younger brother. Although he was full of doubts and confusion, he still followed him.
Unfortunately, after all, they were too young, and there were many people guarding the mansion. It was impossible for them to escape, and they were soon discovered.
Chu Yingyi was afraid that Chu Wusheng would be sacrificed if he was discovered, so she took Chu Wusheng and hid everywhere in the house.
Later, they came to an abandoned yard with a dry well inside. Chu Yingyi asked Chu Wucheng to hide in the dry well, then covered the weeds with weeds, and then ran out to lure the guards away.
Chu Wucheng always thought that Chu Yingyi was just playing around with the guards and had no sense of tension. Chu Yingyi asked him to hide, so he hid and was very obedient.
However, when he reached the bottom of the well, the bottom suddenly parted and his body continued to fall.
Later, he fell into a dark and cold stone cave. He was very scared at first, but he believed that Chu Yingyi would not abandon him and would definitely come to look for him, and the fear in his heart disappeared.
However, he waited for a long time, and the little expectations in his heart gradually dissipated from the dark and cold stone cave, and his heart became darker and colder.
He finally realized that Chu Yingyi would not save him.
At that time, he was cold and hungry, and almost died in the dark and cold cave. He began to walk forward in the dark, determined to find his own way out.
However, they did not find a way out. Instead, they found several illuminating stones with dim light in the cave, as well as walls filled with colorful fruits.
Later, he slowly adapted to living in the cave, and slowly began to find a way to leave, but it just took a long time.
When alone, people always like to have random thoughts.
However, Chu Wusheng began to make random guesses, thinking that maybe Chu Yingyi did not want to be locked up in a dark room alone, so he deliberately tricked him into a dry well, and then pretended to be his identity outside, so that he would not be locked up.
.
Children's brains are not very flexible. Once the guess is established, they will be unable to suppress their doubts.
As time goes by, those doubts and guesses become reality.
Therefore, Chu Wucheng's doting and love for Chu Yingyi, his younger brother, slowly turned into overwhelming hatred because of the loneliness, loneliness, and this dark and cold cave.
In the end, that hatred became the only motivation for him to continue to survive.
At that time, he just wanted to find Chu Yingyi for revenge, and wanted to ask why Chu Yingyi wanted to harm him like that in the first place.
Once upon a time, all the love he had for his younger brother turned into hatred.
On the other side, after Chu Yingyi hid Chu Wucheng, she immediately ran out to lure the guards away, but she didn't expect to be discovered soon after.
Chu Yingyi was brought to the old Princess Chu, and the man wearing a bamboo hat was also there.
The old Princess Chu still held a small piece of rag in her hand. She kept playing with the rag, looked at Chu Yingyi softly, and said with a gentle smile, "Wusheng, where did you hide your brother?"
Chu Yingyi was wearing the clothes that Chu Wusheng had given him, and the cloth that Old Princess Chu was holding was accidentally caught by him when he was eavesdropping behind the rockery.
Chu Yingyi and Chu Wusheng look very similar. Now that they have grown up, there are some differences. But when they were young, they really looked like the same person. That's why they took turns appearing for so long without being discovered.
Usually, the people close to you can only tell who is who based on their clothes. The same is true for the old Princess Chu. Therefore, when Chu Yingyi puts on Chu Wusheng's clothes, the old Princess Chu does not recognize her.
, I just thought he was Chu Wusheng.
Chu Yingyi looked at the old Princess Chu. Although she was smiling at the moment, it made her feel extremely cold, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
His whole body was shaking with fear, but he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Although he and Chu Wusheng looked similar, their voices were completely different. He was afraid that his identity would be exposed as soon as he was born.
If it is discovered that he is actually Chu Yingyi, then they will definitely find someone to find Chu Wusheng.
Although I feel that it is safe to be hidden in a dry well, after all, it is only in a small place like my house. If I search thoroughly, I will certainly be able to find it.
Therefore, he cannot be found out that he is fake Chu Wusheng.
At least, he couldn't be discovered now. He must delay the time and then send Chu Wusheng out of Prince Chu's Mansion quietly.
His brother loved him so much, and he could never let his brother be sacrificed to the gods.
Therefore, even as a younger brother, he is willing to die for his brother! (To be continued)
