Chapter 407 Goodness, she wanted to be a bystander.

Xiao Tang and Ruyi, in perfect unison, put their index fingers to their lips, signaling him to be quiet.

At this point, the most important thing is, of course, to watch the show!

What the two women wanted to hear most was gossip.

As for Yan Shi's silly appearance, it's easy for others to become suspicious.

Yan Shi's lips twitched, but he remained motionless.

In her haste, Ruyi forcefully pulled him into the darkness.

The movement was executed very smoothly, and he didn't forget to turn his head and glare coldly at this ignorant guy.

Although Xiao Tang wanted to hear the gossip, the gossip between Ruyi and Yan Shi... seemed even more surprising?

No one knows for sure who Ruyi is with, whether it's Yanjiu or Yanshi.

The divination for marriage clearly stated that, based on various characteristics, it was highly likely to be Yan Jiu.

And Yan Shi...

She felt that Yan Shi was a little embarrassed?

Xiao Tang shook her head, turned her gaze back, and ignored those absurd and wild thoughts.

This glance is directed towards the distance.

At this moment, Di Youming was staring at the person in the prison with a conflicted expression. "Who exactly is my father? Aren't you going to tell me?"

Jin Lei pursed his lips. "Young Master, if I tell you, you will hate me, and you will also hate yourself now."

Emperor Youming was puzzled.

Even if he is precocious, he is still just a child.

He had no idea what the man meant by his words.

"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"

"Your father... was assassinated by the Regent long ago!"

Snap!

Di Youming excitedly slid off his wheelchair, but the next moment he acted like a child, throwing a tantrum, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all, you must be lying to me!"

He fell to the ground, looking disheveled, but his little fists still kept pounding the ground.

He was both angry and shocked.

Jin Lei chuckled, "If you don't believe me, fine. Your father died a long time ago. Back then, the eldest princess's relationship with her first husband was a humiliation for her, so after the divorce, she quickly had the regent assassinate His Highness."

His eyes narrowed slightly, a manic light flashing within them. "I was there during that battle. I fought desperately, thinking I could protect His Highness. But I never expected that I was so young and impetuous that I became a victim of the sword, unable to protect His Highness."

"Your Highness?" Di Youming looked at Jin Lei in astonishment.

What's the meaning?

How could his father be His Highness?

Xiao Tang, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned as she listened.

I just think this is ridiculous, right?

The eldest princess ordered the regent to kill the prince consort, and the main villain killed him without hesitation?

"Who is it? Who exactly is my father?" Di Youming asked again.

“Young Master, I am responsible for protecting you. I have always wanted to take you away from the Prince’s mansion, but the Regent’s guards are too numerous, and I can’t do anything about it…”

Instead of directly addressing Di Youming's answer, Jin Lei deliberately changed the subject.

"Young Master, why would the Regent, such a cold-blooded and ruthless man, keep you by his side?"

"Even your own mother doesn't care about you, yet she's willing to take you in and keep you under house arrest in the Prince's mansion. Haven't you thought about that?"

Xiao Tang grew increasingly angry.

That damned Jin Lei, he's actually trying to sow discord here.

Indeed, it's in the book. Di Youming is the villain in the latter half of the story. After all, by this point in the story, the main villain and the young emperor are dead, and the male protagonist has already ascended the throne.

Under the deliberate instigation of the male lead, Di Youming actually believed what the male lead said.

I thought the story would end after the dog-loving male protagonist was dealt with.

It seems not.

Xiao Tang exuded a fierce aura.

She wanted to rush over and slap Jin Lei twice across the face.

Ruyi pulled her along.

"Your Highness, please calm down. If we rush over there, the young master will be furious."

Yan Shi nodded, "Your Highness, this Golden Thunder is clearly nonsense, don't believe it."

Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such utter nonsense.

Besides, Young Master Youming is already more than three years old.

Unable to get the answer he wanted, Di Youming stared intently at the golden lightning before him.

"I want to know who my father is!"

"Don't give me that nonsense!"

He clenched his small fist. "I don't completely believe what you're saying right now, and you'd better know that."

Jin Lei sighed, never expecting that the young master wouldn't believe him.

"Since you don't trust me, young master, I don't want to say anything more to you."

"Young master, please remember that His Highness was killed by the Regent. The Regent is no benevolent person."

"If you really want to survive in his hands, you have to be more ruthless than him."

Xiao Tang was speechless.

Goodness, they've even used the brainwashing techniques of pyramid schemes.

She could hardly believe her ears.

What did the main villain do to deserve this...?

Perhaps because Di Jingling is her man, she naturally views villains through a biased lens, so she never bothered to think about the issues carefully.

"Yan Shi, it's your turn. Go pick up this little guy Youming and leave."

Xiao Tang gave an instruction.

Yan Shi had wanted to do this for a long time.

If Jin Lei continues to spout nonsense, who knows what the consequences will be?

Actually, this young master's biological father...

The regent was aware of it.

If not, why raise this child?

Even if the regent respected his elder sister, he wouldn't go so far as to raise her child.

He sighed deeply, stepped forward, picked up the disheveled Di Youming lying on the ground, and placed him in a wheelchair.

"Young Master, it's time for us to go."

Emperor Youming, unusually, did not refute and remained silent.

As Yan Shi pushed him away, Xiao Tang emerged from the darkness and stood before the prison gate.
