ittle Li stepped forward, grasped her sleeve, and asked with worried eyes, "Princess, if the prince punishes you, Little Li will take your punishment."Feng Lingxi looked at her sincere eyes, reached o...Bai Xiaoduo took two steps back and said to Feng Lingxi, "Forget it, you'd better just follow me. If we get caught, there will be trouble."
She didn't want to stay here for too long, preferably making it back before evening.
Feng Lingxi responded and followed her footsteps. Watching her move gracefully through the manor, it was clear she was very familiar with this place.
"My Lord."
Bai Xiaod ie hurriedly shielded Feng Lingxi behind her, the two of them leaning against the wall, when they heard the conversation.
“When the Emperor arrives, tell him that even I haven't slept soundly.”
"Yes."
Bai Xiaod ie listened to the retreating footsteps and winked at Feng Lingxi, motioning her to follow. She led her to a courtyard where there weren't many guards, just a few maidservants guarding the entrance from a distance.
Bai Xiaod ie entered the room with Feng Lingxi, climbing through the window. The person in the room heard the sound and turned around to see Bai Xiaod ie kneel down with a thud, which surprised the middle-aged man opposite her.
"Uncle Emperor."
"Little Butterfly"
"This familiar voice and face, Feng Qin Wang looked at the woman in front of him with disbelief, "Is it really you"
Bai Xiaoduo nodded tearfully, and Prince Feng hurried forward to help her up.
"Little Butterfly, you're not dead"
Bai Xiaod ie bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, "Xiaod ie is unfilial and returns to see her uncle speechless."
"Foolish child, since you're not dead, why haven't you come back to find your uncle Don't you know that your uncle has been looking for you all this time When the national teacher said you had died, your uncle didn't believe it and never gave up searching for you. Unexpectedly, there was no news of you."
"Uncle Emperor, this time Xiaodie came back to find you because there's something I want to ask."
Bai Xiadie turned to look at Feng Lingxi behind her, "Imperial Uncle, she is the savior of Xiadie."
Feng Lingxi looked at Prince Feng, Bai Xiaodai's royal uncle. She just wasn't sure if he was truly someone she could rely on.
"Many thanks to the young lady for saving Xiaodai's life. No matter what you request this time, as long as it is within my power, Your Highness will do his best to fulfill it."
Feng Lingxi bowed and said, "Your Highness is too kind. Xia Die and I are destined to meet. However, the reason for my visit this time is to make a request."
"Tell me, maiden."
Bai Xiaoduo looked at the emperor uncle's eyes and hurriedly changed the subject, "Emperor Uncle, how is the current emperor treating you"
“What good is this throne He stole it! If he hadn't proposed the alliance, how could the late emperor have died from losing you It was all his scheme. Now he’s ambitious, wanting to rule the entire country. The court is full of his puppets. Uncle Emperor is just a shell now.”
"Uncle, I'm sorry. It's all because of my incompetence that you've had to suffer."
"Don't mention those things, it's good you're back. This throne, it was left to you by your father. And, your father wasn't without children. He had a woman outside the palace, and she gave him a son. By now, that boy would be around twenty-five or six."
"Uncle Huang, is there also the imperial brother for Xiaodie"
The Prince nodded, “I’ve found out where that child is. He’s the son of the magistrate of Yanglin County in the Great Yuan Dynasty, Bai Mo.”
"What!"
Feng Lingxi was shocked to hear this, Bai Mo Bai was the prince of Tianqi Nation
The Prince looked at Feng Lingxi, "Why are you so surprised, do you know him When I first heard about him, the magistrate of Yanglin County was still alive. I corresponded with him and sent people to look for the prince. Later, when the current emperor found out, he interfered more, and then I was restricted. Little Butterfly, as long as you find the magistrate of Yanglin County, you can be reunited with your brother."
Bai Xiaoduo looked at the emperor uncle, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
"Uncle Emperor, are you sure that Bai Mo Bai from Yanglin County is my elder brother"
"Well, back then when your father fell into hardship in Tianqi Country, it was Yanglin County magistrate Bai Mucheng who saved him. Afterward, your father and Bai Mucheng's younger sister fell in love and gave birth to Bai Mo. Mo's mother didn't want to return with your father, so your father left the child with her, promising that he would never fight her for the child during his lifetime."
Why are you unwilling to return with your father
The Prince sighed, “Because your father is the Emperor of Tianqi Nation, and Mo Bai’s mother felt that returning would be disloyal to her country, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her brother. Not long after your father returned, Mo Bai’s mother hanged herself. Bai Muchen claimed to the outside world that Mo Bai was his child in order to give him a legitimate status.”
Feng Lingxi felt that things were a bit too coincidental.
Bai Mo Bai saved Bai Xiao Die, and now the Prince of Ming says she is his sister. This sounds absurd! Bai Mo Bai even likes Xiao Die and wants to marry her. If they had gotten married back then, wouldn't she have become a sinner
"Your Highness, forgive my boldness, but I wonder what evidence there is to prove Bai Mo's identity"
The Prince looked at Feng Lingxi, "Yes, the former emperor once gave Mo Bai a jade pendant, which matched the phoenix-shaped jade pendant in Xiao Die's hand. When put together, they formed a pair of dragons and phoenixes, auspicious."
"Uncle Emperor, my jade pendant has been missing for a long time."
The Prince Consort took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to her. "This was given to me by the Emperor," he said, "He told me that when his men found you, they discovered this in your carriage."
Bai Xiaoduo looked at the jade pendant, her mind filled with the scene of being forced that day, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Uncle Emperor, Xiaodai apologizes to Father Emperor."
"Don't say these things anymore. Your father regrets most that he agreed to let you marry into the family, ruining your life. Little Butterfly, before your father died, he held onto his uncle’s hand and asked him to tell you, asking you to forgive her."
Bai Xiaodie's tears flowed even more fiercely from the corners of her eyes, "Royal Uncle, I'm sorry!"
"Silly child."
The Prince Consort stroked her head, "You're fine. Your uncle is happy. Even if you died one day, you could see your father."
"Uncle Emperor, Xiaodie came here this time to ask for your help, hoping that Uncle Emperor will definitely help Xiaodie."
Bai Xiaod ie wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye, "Uncle Huang, can you tell me if the imperial city has brought back anything strange"
"Strange things"
Prince Feng frowned, looking at her with some confusion. "Xiaodie, what do you mean"
"Did you bring anything back from outside the city, something packaged tightly, perhaps"
Feng Lingxi explained, Prince Feng looked at Feng Lingxi with a suspicious gaze.
“These things could very well bring calamity to the world. I hope Your Highness will inform me.”
The Prince looked at Feng Lingxi's anxious gaze, scrutinizing her. The doubt in his eyes made Feng Lingxi feel conflicted, fearing that if she told the truth, she would be put in danger.
"This young lady's identity is probably more than just Xia Die's savior, isn't it"
Uncle Emperor, she is not only Xiaodie's savior, but also the savior of Brother Mo Bai.
Bai Xiaod ie looked at Feng Lingxi, seeing her nod, she truthfully reported, "I don't know if His Royal Highness has ever heard of the War God of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Wang Ye Dugu Cheng" and live outside, but is afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor won't allow it.""Oh"Dugu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi's sullen expression, "The Crown Prince reprimanded you for not knowing the...
