The twelfth prince walked angrily to Guangling Palace.
The guarding soldiers bowed their hands in greeting.
He said coldly: "Is the envoy of the Western Regions Kingdom Ming Qi here? Let him come out. I have something to ask him."
Seeing that the twelfth prince looked worried, the soldiers did not dare to delay and immediately went to deliver the message.
After a while, Ming Qi walked out with steady steps wearing a large ink-colored robe.
"Your Highness, what do you want with Ming Qi?" he asked politely.
Sudden!
The Twelve Prince grabbed him by the collar and took him directly to the side!
Ming Qi was startled and his voice was cold: "What are you doing!"
The twelfth prince took Ming Qi to the palace road next to Guangling Palace, where no one passed by.
Then he lowered his voice and his eyes were dark and deep: "You are Gu Ziya, right?"
There was a bang.
Ming Qi froze on the spot.
He threw off the shackles of the Twelve Prince's arms and sneered to the side: "Who is your Highness talking about?"
The Twelfth Prince gritted his teeth: "You are still pretending! I will never admit my mistake this time. You are my brother who has disappeared for many years, the Thirteenth Prince Gu Ziya!"
"First of all, you know very well that I cannot use wound medicine."
"I thought it was a coincidence, but after seeing the mole on your right wrist, I thought you were Thirteen."
"Even if you denied it at the time, I still have doubts in my heart."
The Twelve Prince's voice was cold: "I don't believe there are so many coincidences in this world."
"So after I came back, I went to many sources for verification, and I found that what I believed to be true before turned out to be false."
"I always thought that the thirteenth brother was really mute, but when I went to the Taiyuan Hospital and looked through the medical records from that year, I discovered that the thirteenth brother's throat was burnt!"
"He is not mute, he just couldn't speak for a while."
It was also because of this that the Twelve Princes had preconceptions that he was mute.
This misunderstanding lasted for many years.
Ming Qi smiled and tried to stay calm.
"What His Highness Twelveth Prince said sounds reasonable and well-founded, but in fact it is all his own speculation."
"I accompanied Princess Natu to Daqi and lived in the palace for a month. Why doesn't anyone say that I look like the Thirteenth Prince you mentioned?"
The twelfth prince's brows looked cold: "It's not difficult to explain. When the thirteenth brother was in the palace, he didn't attract anyone's attention."
"He left very early, and the only person who knew him well, Grandma Suxue, has also passed away long ago."
"And the first batch of palace people who met him basically all left the palace due to old age."
Having said this, the Twelve Prince laughed: "But there is still one person who remembers him, and that is me."
"The first time I saw you, I felt you looked familiar, but I couldn't tell you what it felt like."
"After so many years, a person's appearance may be completely different from what he looked like when he was a child, but it will never be completely different."
"Ming Qi, you are Thirteen."
Ming Qi looked at him coldly: "Your Highness, I can understand your difficulties and persistence in finding your brother."
"But it doesn't seem appropriate for you to pester and question a stranger just because of a few coincidences, right?"
The twelfth prince sighed deeply: "If you don't admit it, well, I remember that the thirteenth brother can't eat peanuts, otherwise he will keep sneezing."
"This method sounds stupid, but it can help you prove your innocence. You might as well try it in front of me."
"If I am wrong, I am willing to bow my head and apologize to you, but if you lie..."
The Twelve Prince's throat rolled: "I hope you won't lie."
Ming Qi looked at him steadily. The two had similar temperaments, both were like unsheathed blades, with a biting chill.
But the slightly clenched fists in Mingqi's sleeves revealed his thoughts.
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate.
A faint voice came from the side: "Ming Qi, is what he said true?"
The two turned around and saw Natu walking out from the corner.
