#319 - The Secret of Li Wutong's Identity

From Li Wutong's current performance, it seems she really doesn't know what Wei Changtian is talking about.

However, Wei Changtian clearly sneers at her "performance."

The Demon Discernment Compass can't possibly be wrong, so Li Wutong is 100% a demon.

Actually, as long as she's not Yama, then no matter what she is, or what her intentions are, Wei Changtian doesn't care.

Even if it really is a "fox replacing the princess", that's a private matter of the Dafeng royal family, and has nothing to do with him as an outsider.

So, after mocking her again with "It turns out I misjudged you", Wei Changtian was too lazy to waste any more words and simply cut to the chase.

"Princess, it's up to you whether you speak or not, I don't care."

"However, you definitely know the answer to what I'm about to ask."

"Didn't you eavesdrop on me in the Ximo Gobi before?"

"What did I say then?"

" . "

Hearing this question, Li Wutong didn't answer for a long time.

Because her acupoints were sealed, there was still no expression on her face, but the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes became more and more numerous.

She didn't know why Wei Changtian was asking this, but she just felt a burst of pain in her heart.

"You said . "

Taking a deep breath, Li Wutong finally answered intermittently: "You said that no matter how I cried and shouted to marry you, you would never marry me."

"Yeah."

Wei Changtian's tone remained unchanged, and he continued to ask calmly: "Afterwards, at Lord Huailing's mansion, I said some words to you alone, what were those words?"

"You said I shouldn't treat Shen Shulin like that."

Li Wutong slowly stopped crying: "Said I should apologize to Young Master Shen."

Huh? She answered everything?

Wei Changtian's expression relaxed slightly: "Last question, the next day after you went to see Young Master Shen, I recited a line in the carriage . "

"Since ancient times, only love leaves endless regrets, the best dreams are always the easiest to wake."

This time, before Wei Changtian finished asking, Li Wutong had already recited the poem word for word.

She seemed very tired, her voice was still very soft, but her tone gradually became indifferent.

"Young Master Wei, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Not for now."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was basically certain in his heart that Li Wutong was not transformed from Yama.

The things he asked just now all happened on the way to Fengyuan, and they were all secrets to Li Wutong, so no one else should know except her.

Which also means that Yama wouldn't know.

So, Li Wutong should just be an "ordinary demon" like Yang Liushi.

However, this matter cannot be concluded so easily.

After all, this concerns Yama, so it must be foolproof.

And a further way to verify is very simple .

This shows that Li Qi is not a demon.

"Your Majesty."

Sighing with relief, Wei Changtian cupped his hands slightly: "Princess Wuping is currently in the bedroom, safe and sound."

"The reason why this junior did this was just to verify something, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me if I have been reckless."

" . "

Reckless.

Publicly launching an attack and holding a princess of a country hostage in front of everyone, the nature of this act has of course far exceeded the scope of "reckless".

However, Li Qi did not show any anger.

He just looked at Wei Changtian, and after a long while, he said softly:

"Young Master Wei, although I don't know how you noticed Tong'er's identity, but now I don't have to hide anything from you."

Waving his hand, the surrounding guards immediately turned and left.

Wei Changtian also looked at Qin Zhengqiu beside him: "Grandpa, I'll talk to the Emperor alone."

"Yeah."

"Huff!"

A gust of wind rose from the ground, and as Qin Zhengqiu's figure disappeared, only Wei Changtian and Li Qi were left on the long bluestone road.

"Young Master Wei, did you tell Tong'er that she is a demon?"

"No."

Wei Changtian keenly captured the hidden meaning in these words, and frowned instantly: "What? She herself doesn't even know about this?"

"Yes, Tong'er doesn't know."

Li Qi smiled bitterly and looked at the window of the bedroom in the distance, the shadows of the trees swaying, the rustling sound of branches and leaves intertwined with the sound of crying from twenty years ago in his memory.

The past and present overlap, the past brushes against his face, fluttering and flying.

"This matter is my fault."

The monarch of a country fell in love with a deer demon transformed into a human form, and had a daughter.

If a human and a demon combine to give birth to a child, then the child is born in human form, but its essence is still a demon.

So Li Wutong's real identity is actually a deer demon that has transformed into a human form . But she herself doesn't know.

This kind of thing sounds quite unscientific at first glance.

After all, the body of a demon is an animal, and even if it transforms into a human form, it should be animal genes, and there should be a "reproductive isolation" between it and humans.

However, talking about science in the world of cultivation is undoubtedly asking for trouble, so Wei Changtian didn't dwell on this matter too much, and just continued to listen to Li Qi telling his past story.

In all fairness, the love between humans and demons is actually not uncommon.

Wu Tianqing and Yun Lian, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi, are all living examples.

However, whether it is Wu Tianqing or Wei Changtian, they all belong to the category of "commoners". As long as they are not out of their minds and publicize that they have married a demon as their wife, it is difficult for others to notice this matter.

But Li Qi is different.

Twenty years ago, he had already ascended the throne. As the emperor of a country, once this kind of act that violates the natural order is exposed, he will not only lose the throne, but also shame the entire Dafeng royal family and become an indelible shame for the Li family forever.

Under the coercion of such a huge price, he had to make the most difficult choice in his life—

Kill the woman he loved.

Li Qi didn't tell Wei Changtian how much he struggled when he made this decision, but the latter could hear the pain that he still remembers to this day from his intermittent voice.

However, the development of the matter afterwards was slightly different.

Because when several Li family's death soldiers found the woman with the order, the latter had already committed suicide by drinking poison.

She probably knew that when she fell in love with a human emperor, this would be the ending, so she simply ended it herself.

The deer demon did not leave anything for Li Qi, and even burned all the objects and letters that could become evidence of Li Qi's "human-demon affair".

However, she still didn't destroy the most special one—

That is the daughter of the two.

Perhaps, the deer demon wanted to leave this choice to Li Qi.

And looking at it from today, Li Qi's choice is no longer a secret.

He did not kill the daughter of the two, and confessed the matter to the empress who also loved him deeply.

The latter not only did not blame or complain, but even put on a big show with Li Qi to give this girl a legitimate identity.

So there is now Princess Wuping.

As for Li Wutong, the name that Wei Changtian felt didn't sound like a royal daughter the first time he heard it .

This is a poem that the deer demon recited when she last saw Li Qi, when the two were parting.

At that time, the latter had not yet decided to "cut off his wrist", but the deer demon probably had a premonition.

She smiled and recited this poem, and then turned and left, going to her death for the man she loved.

The green eyebrows are gathered into skirts, the magpie bridge becomes a long parting hate.

Sorrowful parasol tree is not the old shadow, not sad wild goose temporarily follows the sun.
