Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Chapter 564

What a coincidence? As soon as she made a noise, the prince sent the maid away?

Was the maid so stupid that she dared to leave the prince, a child, alone in the room? Even though there were extra patrols in the courtyard, there was no one guarding the prince's room?

Li Huoyue waited quietly for a while.

"Sister?" The prince called out in confusion.

With just this one call, Li Huoyue immediately realized what was going on.

The maid was not stupid, but she was used to it.

Prince Liang and the old woman were discussing "not the first time", and "that person" should be the sister that the prince mentioned.

Although Master Cen is old, he is not so blurry that he cannot recognize his own students.

Unless the two students are similar enough to play the swap game.

Being able to act so similarly, relying solely on the basic level of similar voice and appearance may be enough to fool outsiders, but it is not enough to deceive the teacher who has been teaching him for many years.

To be able to deceive someone to such an extent that even the Master cannot tell, the person must be extremely close and someone they spend a lot of time with in order to be able to do so.

The two of them cannot bear to hate each other, and are extremely keen on playing each other's roles. Otherwise, even if they are exactly the same person, they can still be recognized at a glance. Just look at the third and fourth children in the family.

Thinking of the third and fourth children in the family, a strange idea suddenly emerged in Li Huoyue's mind.

This prince is also a twin?

Thinking of this, an even stranger thought came to my mind.

The way the fake King Liang and King Liang interacted just now didn't seem like the way the real thing and the fake would interact.

Although I haven't had much contact with the Prince of Liang, I can clearly feel that he is a person with a particularly strong sense of identity and a strong sense of superiority. How can a prince who usually doesn't even take court officials seriously accept an imposter appearing by his side and even doing things outside under his name?

Judging from the fake King of Liang's reaction when Xu Lesong called him, he didn't look nervous, but rather used to it.

Could it be that Prince Liang and the fake Prince Liang are also twins?

Come to think of it, I have been in the South for so long, but I have never seen twins other than the third and fourth children.

Li Huoyue would not attend banquets hosted by other dignitaries, nor would she go out for a wandering trip on her own. The people she met usually either had something to ask of her or were afraid of her. No one had ever mentioned this matter to her, and naturally she didn't know whether people in the folk avoided the existence of twins.

If it is a taboo, the Prince of Liang is a legitimate member of the royal family, and it is impossible for him to allow such a "taboo" to be allowed until now.

If you are not shy about it, why not openly give the fake one a legitimate identity?

"Sister?" The prince on the bed did not wait for his sister to appear, and became even more confused, so he called out tentatively again.

After much deliberation, Li Huoyue decided to kidnap the fake King of Liang and interrogate him.

What about this prince?

The young master didn't get an answer, so he sat up from the bed, lifted the bed curtain, and stuck his furry head out to look towards the window frame.

He looked only a few years old, and his palm was not even as big as the jade pendant hanging on the head of the bed.

If Li Huoyue doesn't get something out of this trip, it would be really unfair to the other party's plan.

But it seems that Prince Liang cares about this child very much. If the prince is kidnapped now, he will definitely go crazy.

After thinking for a while, Li Huoyue turned over and walked from behind the screen to the prince's bed.

The prince was surprised that an adult would come and was about to shout.

Li Huoyue quickly stepped forward and covered the prince's mouth, saying softly, "It was your sister who asked me to come here, don't make a sound."

The prince looked at Li Huoyue in confusion and nodded.

Li Huoyue slowly let go of the prince with one hand, and kept the other hand ready to knock him out at any time.

However, the prince did not shout anymore. He opened his big eyes and looked at Li Huoyue curiously, and was very obedient and did not say a word.

So easy to cheat?

Li Huoyue was instinctively confused, but he still spoke first: "She is sick and can't come over now."

"Ah! Really?!" Unlike Li Huoyue, the prince had no doubts about Li Huoyue at all. His tone was regretful and anxious. "It must be because she didn't drink the ginger soup in time after we accidentally fell into the river the day before yesterday!"

Can these two still go out together?

Li Huoyue looked at the child in front of him in the dim light, and indeed there was no sign of any pretense or lying.

"Is she okay?" the prince asked again in a low voice.

Li Huoyue shook his head. "It's not very good. I can't even get up, and..."

Deliberately leaving something unfinished to reveal a hint of embarrassment is a very common tactic that also works on children.

The prince really followed up by asking, "And what?"

Li Huoyue started to talk nonsense: "Your sister's illness is very difficult to treat, and your father... doesn't seem to have any intention of hiring a doctor."

The prince couldn't believe it. He lifted his quilt and was about to get up, muttering, "How could it be? How could it be? I have to change it back. I just need to change it back."

Li Huoyue quickly grabbed the young master's wrist and took the opportunity to feel his bones and pulse.

"Hey—wait a minute." Li Huoyue said, "She can't move now. Even if you go over there, how are you going to bring her here?"

The prince was young and was trying to pretend to be calm, thinking that if he went over and exchanged the other person, his father would send someone to find a doctor for treatment. However, he did not expect that the other person could no longer get up, so he wondered how the two could be exchanged.

"Then...then can you help me?" The prince's voice was a little tearful, with a soft and thin childish tone. Most people would feel distressed after hearing it.

Of course Li Huoyue could help her, but as she was used to using conversation skills for many years, she paused unconsciously and did not speak immediately.

Li Huoyue could certainly help her, but she was so accustomed to using conversational skills that she paused unconsciously and did not speak immediately. Li Huoyue quickly grabbed the young master's wrist and took the opportunity to feel his pulse.
