Why didn't Wei Zi in Princess Zhu Huan tell her true identity?

First of all, Emperor Qianlong had preconceived ideas about the swallow. If she says she is Gege, the daughter of the emperor, others will think she is lying and won't believe her.

Secondly, pretending to be Gege is a crime of deceiving the monarch, and there will be worries about life. And she herself said that she would rashly admit her father. Either Qianlong believed her, and then the swallow died, or Qianlong didn't believe her, and then Wei Zi died. Anyone who paid the price for this matter is not worth it, and she doesn't want to see it.

Therefore, Wei Zi can't tell her true identity without ensuring her safety.

That's my answer. Do not like do not spray
