I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

System: [Yes, although he is still my cousin, he is a different person now.]

Qin Yue immediately started thinking, [Could they be brothers? If they were not discovered by Li Zhaoyi, then they must look very similar. Then there is only one truth, are they twins? ]

When the system heard Qin Yue's answer, it praised her exaggeratedly: [Wow! Host, you are really smart. You guessed it right away.]

Mrs. Lu was also very happy that her daughter was praised, and she couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth.

Cui Xi, who was standing next to her, saw that her eldest lady wanted to laugh but was trying to hold it back, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and giggle.

Qin Yue was praised by the system again, and she felt a little proud.

[Yeah, sister, I'm still very smart, hahaha. ]

[So the cousin who entered the palace was actually the first cousin's brother. He used the same appearance to deceive Li Zhaoyi. But what was the reason? Did the second cousin also like Li Zhaoyi? ]

System: [Things are more complicated than this. ]

Qin Yue: [How complicated is it? Sister, please tell me more about it.]

Lu couldn't help but lean towards Qin Yue, and Cui Xi also turned her ear towards Qin Yue.

So what is the complicated method? Oh, I’m so anxious, tell me quickly!

System: [These two cousins ​​are indeed twins. Their biological parents are the Liu family, who have been doing business for generations and have a considerable fortune.]

[But their family believed that twins were unlucky, so after the two were born, they abandoned one of the babies on the roadside. This baby was the cousin who appeared later.]

[This cousin was also very lucky. He was seen by a woman named Wu who happened to be passing by. The woman worked in a brothel in the capital. She took pity on him and took him in.]

[Later, cousin Wu followed the prostitute and grew up in a prostitute in the capital. When he was older, he also started to receive customers, regardless of gender.]

Qin Yue suddenly realized: [No wonder Cousin Wu did not even let go of the palace maids and eunuchs after entering the palace. It turns out that he grew up in such a complicated environment like a brothel. ]

[It may be that no one taught him well, but for him, being able to survive after being abandoned is already a blessing.]

The system continued: [So when Cousin Liu first arrived in the capital, he was spotted by Cousin Wu who was at the city gate doing some work.]

Qin Yue continued: [Cousin Wu must be very shocked that there is someone in the world who looks exactly like him, so Cousin Wu guessed that the two of them are related by blood, right? ]

The system confirmed: [Yes, at that time, Cousin Wu thought that the two were relatives, but he had been in brothels for many years and did not act rashly, so he secretly began to investigate. ]

[The results of the investigation were naturally not what he expected, but the truth revealed was that he was the one who was abandoned.]

Qin Yue: [He must be very sad, even hateful, so did he do that in the end for revenge?]

System: [That’s right. After he found out the truth and looked at the situation he was living in, how could he not hate it? ]

[In order to have enough food, he started working in a brothel at a very young age. At first, he just did some cleaning work, and later he served customers.]

[His elder brother, however, lived a life of ease and comfort, was able to study, and even take part in the imperial examinations.]

[The lives of the two are completely different! ]

Lu and Cui Xi were both silent after listening.

One is an abandoned child who constantly sacrifices himself for a living all day long.

The other one, on the other hand, was raised in the palm of her hand, did not have to worry about making a living, was able to study, and had time to fall in love.

The contrast is so strong!

Alas, I can only say that fate plays tricks on us.

System: [So after Cousin Wu knew that Cousin Liu and Li Zhaoyi were having an affair, he planned to trick Li Zhaoyi into having an affair with him, and then expose it to Cousin Liu.]

[He believed that seeing the woman he loved betray him would be a great blow to Cousin Liu.]

【Then cousin Wu began to frequently climb over the wall to meet with Li Zhaoyi in secret, of course, pretending to be cousin Liu.】

Qin Yue: [But Cousin Wu certainly didn't expect that Cousin Liu had already made up his mind to give up this relationship because of Li Zhaoyi's entry into the palace.]

[Then why did cousin Wu follow Li Zhaoyi into the palace? ]

System: [As cousin Wu came into contact with Li Zhaoyi, he gradually fell in love with her.]

[Having lacked love since childhood, he felt the true love from Li Zhaoyi, even though he was Liu's cousin.]

[So when Li Zhaoyi was about to enter the palace, he proposed to disguise himself as a personal maid to sneak into the palace, hoping to stay with Li Zhaoyi forever. ]

Qin Yue felt a little emotional, and wondered if Cousin Wu had ever thought that the two of them would end up with their bodies thrown into a mass grave because they could not control their selfish desires.

[I didn't expect that he was going for revenge, but ended up getting himself into trouble. In the end, the two of them died in the same grave. ]

System: [Alas, yes. After entering the palace, cousin Wu gradually began to worry that Li Zhaoyi would fall in love with the emperor.]

[So the two people who were originally close friends, under the deliberate guidance of cousin Wu, had a relationship.]

[Cousin Wu grew up in a brothel and knows how to use his body to please others. He also wants to keep Li Zhaoyi's heart in this way.]

[Slowly, Li Zhaoyi also fell in love with Wu's cousin who took her to experience different feelings every day, and gradually she became more open and unscrupulous.]

[Cousin Wu was worried that the truth would be exposed and would be detrimental to the two of them, so he used the same method to make all the maids and eunuchs in Li Zhaoyi's palace sleep with them.]

[Later, Li Zhaoyi suddenly became pregnant, and the two tried to use Emperor Jin Yuan to get away with it, but they didn't expect that they would fail in the end.]

Qin Yue: [If, at the beginning, cousin Wu entered the palace with the intention of simply accompanying Li Zhaoyi. ]

[If I had been able to practice it unwaveringly, without so many desires and worries about gains and losses, and put myself in the right position, maybe I wouldn't have come to this point today. ]

Lu sighed slightly in her heart. Yes, if she knew it was a desire that she couldn't control, she shouldn't have touched it in the beginning.

If you hadn't taken that path, maybe the results would have been different.

It's just a matter of emotions, which is difficult to control.

The system continued: [After leaving the court, Minister Li went to Cousin Liu's residence. Cousin Liu had to take part in the imperial examination, so he was naturally still in the capital.]

[But when Minister Li saw that cousin Liu was still outside the palace, he was very surprised. Since cousin Liu was outside the palace, who was the cousin in the palace? ]

[Minister Li told his cousin Liu what happened in the palace, hoping that his cousin Liu would help analyze it. After all, Zhaoyi Li only had this cousin.]

[Cousin Liu was shocked after hearing this. He never expected that the cousin he once loved would do such a thing.]

[When he heard Li Shilang talking about the cousin in the palace, he suddenly remembered that he had heard his wet nurse say that he had a brother, but twins were considered unlucky by the clan, so they were abandoned.]

[He guessed that the cousin in the palace should be his brother from the same father and mother. He naturally told this guess to Minister Li.]

[After Minister Li learned about this, he hurried to the palace to report it.]

Qin Yue: [What will happen to the Li family in the end? ]
