Chapter 778 The Pain Deep In Heart (1/2)

Lady Zhao's lips moved slightly and her face darkened. She stared at Yun Shang, trying to confirm whether Princess Hui Guo was real or not.

Yun Shang hurriedly continued, ”Maybe you think what I said is also false, but please don't refute for the time being. Let me finish the matter first.”

Lady Zhao still kept silent.

Yun Shang smiled gratefully. Then she said softly, ”In fact, I knew it at the very beginning. I knew it before I left the State of Ning last year. I saw a portrait of the Empress Hua in the palace of his majesty of the State of Xia. When I first saw it, I felt that the woman in the portrait looked much younger, but she really looked like you, my lady. ”

Yun Shang turned around to Zi Su. Zi Su handed the scroll in her hand to Yun Shang. Yun Shang held the scroll in front of Lady Zhao and whispered, ”I can't get the portrait of the Empress Hua, but I have someone secretly copied it. Have a look, madam.”

With a cold snort, Lady Zhao opened the scroll. In the picture, pink flowers were blossoming on the trees, and petals fell. There were two people standing under the trees. A woman in pink looked up at the flowers on the trees, with a faint smile on her face. Beside the woman stood a man...

Lady Zhao frowned, ”Isn't the man in the painting Prince Jing?”

Yun Shang shook her head and answered, ”The man in the picture is not Prince JIng, but the Emperor of the State of Xia, Xia Huanyu.”

” Xia Huanyu?” Lady Zhao frowned again and looked at the man, ”I've heard of Prince Jing's story, but I didn't expect him to look like the Emperor of the State of Xia so much.”

”He doesn't look like before now. Xia Huanyu's face was disfigured in that accident when the Empress Hua disappeared.” Yun Shang looked at the man in the painting and said softly.

Lady Zhao didn't respond. She looked at the lady in pink and fell silent.

Noticing the expression on Lady Zhao's face, Yun Shang hurriedly said, ”Lady Zhao must be very familiar with her own face when she was young. Do you think the woman in the painting resembles you very much?”

”So what? There are many people who look like each other in the world, ” said Lady Zhao. She closed the scroll and threw it on the table, without looking at it anymore.

Yun Shang nodded slightly and said, ”You are right. There are many people who look like each other in the world. But as far as I know, your ladyship was saved from the frontier by General Zhao? But where exactly did he save you? Back then, the time the Empress Hua fell off the cliff was quite near the time when General Zhao saved your life. The Empress Hua fell off the cliff on the Ming Xiang Mountain. I heard that at that time, the nearest city to the mountain was called Rongcheng. At that time, the defending general was exactly General Zhao. ”

Lady Zhao's index finger was slightly upturned. She kept silent for a long time.
