After rebirth, my sister always wants to be close to me

"Hooking up with the prince? The prince has no real power. Where do they get the confidence from?" Liu Yunyan frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes full of doubt.

"Qingci sent me a letter when he first came to the capital," Chen Ge paused and continued, "The letter mentioned that the prince has been in frequent contact with a mysterious force in the dark recently, and the relationship seems to be quite close. This force is extremely low-key, but its influence should not be underestimated." Chen Ge's tone was solemn, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Liu Yunyan fell into deep thought, and after a moment she spoke: "What is the origin of this mysterious force? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Chen Ge shook his head. "I have also tried to investigate, but this force is so hidden that there are almost no clues left. But what is certain is that their purpose is definitely not simple."

Liu Yunyan nodded slightly to show her agreement. "Let's put this matter aside for now. The most urgent task is to find out their true intention of colluding with the Crown Prince."

If timely measures are not taken, the consequences may be disastrous.

Chen Ge frowned, "I only know this much. They won't tell me more. They only told me this for their own purposes. They didn't achieve their goal today. I don't know what extreme measures they will take."

"Well, if the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals, and if the water comes, we will block it with earth." Liu Yunyan thought seriously for a while, "I have another question. When did you replace Chen Ge's identity?"

Chen Ge couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was so seriously injured, but he just kept asking questions. He couldn't just treat his injury first before asking questions. This way, I could tell you more.

He didn't dare to show it, for fear of being beaten to death on the spot, so he could only speak with pent-up anger.

"That day, when I came down from Hanguang Temple after praying to the gods, it was already me."

"What?" Liu Yunyan never expected this answer. "What about Liu Yunfeng?"

"She is the child of the Liu family. Chen Ge was about to give birth at the time. She was frightened by the sudden encounter with bandits and gave birth to Liu Yunfeng in Hanshan Temple. She lost too much blood. The bandits surrounded the temple, and she died before she could find a doctor."

"I happened to be in the temple at the time and witnessed everything. Later, I found that I looked very similar to Chen Ge, so I thought of taking this opportunity to replace him and leave the previous organization."

. . .

When talking about these things, Chen Ge looked a little sad, and he also felt a little regretful that he couldn't save that person.

"So that's how it is..." Liu Yunyan murmured to herself, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

After a moment of silence, Liu Yunyan looked up at Chen Ge and asked, "Do you know the details of this bandit gang?"

Chen Ge shook his head. "I had just taken over Chen Ge's identity at that time, so I didn't have time to understand many things. However, judging from the fact that they dared to rob in broad daylight, these bandits must have something to rely on."

Liu Yunyan nodded slightly, "Maybe, is your real name Chen Ge?"

"Yes, the name is the same, the appearance is similar, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Chen Ge murmured in a low voice.

So that's why. No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I questioned Chen Ge that day. At that time, Chen Ge looked a little confused when I talked about some things.

"Then why do you love Liu Yunqing and ignore Liu Yunfeng?" According to Chen Ge's description, the second concubine, Liu Yunqing's mother, did not appear in this incident from beginning to end.

Chen Ge recalled, "After I replaced Chen Ge, I was afraid of being suspected, so I disrupted my internal energy and lay on the ground pretending to be dead. It was at that time that Princess Yunxi led her men to attack me."

"Liu Yunqing's mother showed up at that time. It turned out that she had been observing secretly, so she knew that I was taking over. She threatened me and forced me to enter the Liu Mansion and climb into Liu Zheng's bed. She felt that she had something on me, so I killed her in the end."

"I once had a daughter who was too similar to Liu Yunfeng. Their personalities and conduct were exactly the same. Every time I saw Liu Yunfeng, I would think of her. I was afraid that Liu Yunfeng would become the next her."

"Liu Yunqing accidentally discovered the secret that I used to be a killer. Like her mother, she also took the opportunity to threaten me. I just didn't have the chance to kill her yet."

Liu Yunyan nodded. Now that things had come to this, the truth was revealed.

"What about your daughter?"

"Dead. Died a long time ago."

Liu Yunyan remained silent, took out medicine for treating internal injuries from her arms and handed it over.

Chen Ge took it and looked at it, then asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"This is the healing medicine of Dr. Nan Yuan. Thank you for answering my questions today. The medicine is my thank you gift." Liu Yunyan was very selfish. She didn't care how many people Chen Ge had killed in the past. She only knew that her mother's affairs had nothing to do with her and it was enough as long as she was not hurt.

"Nan Yuan's medicine?" Chen Ge didn't expect that this was actually the medicine of the miracle doctor. He looked at Liu Yunyan with doubts. Why did she have Nan Yuan's medicine? Is there any relationship between her and Nan Yuan?

"Do you know Nan Yuan?" Chen Ge couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yunyan nodded, "I know her."

"Thank you." Chen Ge carefully put the medicine away, thinking that he had to use it sparingly.

"You're welcome. You helped me answer my questions. This is what you deserve," Liu Yunyan said calmly.

Liu Yunyan knew what she wanted to know and turned around to leave.

Chen Ge's voice came from behind, "What is your relationship with Princess Yunxi?"

This was what she wanted to know from the beginning. Unless one was involved in the assassination, it would be impossible for one to know Qingci and the others. But she had clearly heard that at that time, none of Princess Yunxi, her twenty guards, and dozens of spies survived.

Liu Yunyan's body was shocked, and she left without saying anything else.

Liu Yunyan returned home and couldn't calm down for a long time.

She originally thought that Chen Ge was just an ordinary woman, but she didn't expect that she actually had so many secrets! This made Liu Yunyan feel troubled. How should she tell Liu Yunfeng? She couldn't just say "your mother is gone", that would be too inappropriate.

Liu Yunyan thought she had to find a suitable time to tell her. She knew that this would be a heavy blow to Liu Yunfeng and she had to handle it carefully.

Just as Liu Yunyan was struggling and hesitating in her heart, time passed quietly, and before she knew it, it was Liu Yunfeng's birthday.

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight came through the window, Liu Yunyan woke up slowly. She subconsciously looked out the window, but was surprised to find that Liu Yunfeng, who usually went to the military camp early, was still at home. Not only that, he looked extremely depressed, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure.

Liu Yunyan naturally understood why Liu Yunfeng was so depressed - although she pretended not to care on the surface, what child didn't long for the love of her parents? Every year on this day, it was an especially difficult day for Liu Yunfeng, and her mood always hit rock bottom.

"Sister, today is your birthday! Yan'er sincerely wishes you a happy birthday!" Liu Yunyan walked quickly forward and said softly.

Hearing his sister's voice, Liu Yunfeng's tense face finally relaxed slightly, revealing a faint smile. He reached out his hand, pulled Liu Yunyan into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and responded softly: "Thank you, Yan'er."

However, how could someone as sensitive as Liu Yunyan not notice the unconcealable sorrow and sadness deep in Liu Yunfeng's eyes?

So she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, you don't seem happy..."
