"What should we do now?" Xuanyi lowered her head and asked Zhang Handuo in front of her.

"People cannot be kept, and children cannot be kept either!" Zhang Handuo said coldly.

Xuan Yi took a deep breath and frowned. "Forget it, let's just let this matter go! After all, the child is of royal blood. If he can be born, he naturally can't be without a mother! Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Get out!"

"Queen Dowager! If the king insists on making the child the crown prince after the child is born, he will be ridiculed by the whole world! When all this nonsense comes, Queen Dowager, have you ever thought about what to do about these problems in the future?" Zhang Hanguo pressed the Queen Dowager step by step. Xuanyi thought carefully and, indeed, what should she do...

"Has the Queen Mother figured it out?" Zhang Handuo didn't raise his head, but stared upwards at Xuanyi.

Xuanyi has been hesitant. She is also a mother. Besides, her daughter has also lost her child. This kind of heart pain is much deeper than the physical pain!

"Queen Dowager! You can't hesitate any longer. How can a maidservant be pregnant with our royal blood!" Zhang Handuo emphasized his tone and looked at Xuanyi with some emotion.

Xuan Yi's heart sank. Never mind. She was the one who lied to her first. "It's up to you. Do whatever you want. Just don't hurt Li Shen!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Zhang Hanguo stood up and left.

Xuan Yi closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "...If I really want to do this, I'll be reluctant to do it!"

Chunling sat on the bed, Bai Lishen sat beside her and fed her porridge. When he brought the bowl over, Chunling pushed it away and said in a somewhat tangled tone, "I can't drink it anymore. Stop feeding me!"

"The imperial physician said that you have been malnourished recently. Have you not been eating well?" Bai Lishen questioned her.

"I... don't know why I can't eat. I'm very panicked and always feel like something is going to happen..." Chunling said with a frown and her head down.

"Okay, nothing will happen with me by your side! Take good care of the baby! I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first!" Bai Lishen tapped her forehead lightly, stood up and left.

Chunling touched her belly and said, "My child! You must grow up safely. Mom's happiness and your happiness are in your hands!"

Ma Qingyi opened the door of Mo Yufeng's room and shouted "Mo Yufeng!"

Huh? No one?

Ma Qingyi turned her head to take a look, and just as she was about to close the door and go out, she suddenly noticed something brightly lit by the sunlight on the desk. Ma Qingyi turned around and walked to the desk and picked up the things on the desk.

Suddenly I was shocked. This is... a white phoenix pendant!

Is this Bai Hanxiao's? Why is it here? Hasn't it been given to Mo Yecheng?

Ma Qingyi picked up the white pendant, looked at it carefully, and lowered her eyes.

Now she trusts Mo Yufeng enough, and knows that Mo Yufeng and Bai Hanxiao have no relationship, but who does this pendant belong to...

"Why are you here?" Mo Yufeng's voice suddenly rang out. Ma Qingyi was startled and the pendant fell to the ground. She looked at Mo Yufeng in panic, "You scared me!"

"What are you doing? I was startled!" Mo Yufeng walked up to her and saw the pendant on the ground. With a calm face, he bent down to pick it up, then looked at Ma Qingyi, "Are you looking at this?"

"Huh! How come this thing is in your hands! Isn't it only owned by the Princess of Baihan Kingdom?... Are you the Princess of Baihan Kingdom?" Ma Qingyi said jokingly, but in her heart she was extremely curious to know who this thing belonged to!

"Can't you guess it?" Mo Yufeng looked at her with a heavy expression.

Ma Qingyi retracted her playful smile and looked at him. "The only one I know is Bai Hanxiao. Could there be others in Bai Han Country..."

"Yes! A princess who was almost forgotten. She was left behind in Moyu Country and adopted by a general. For the sake of this baby girl, the general never married or had children!" Mo Yufeng spoke word by word, and Ma Qingyi trembled. "So where is she now?"

"That princess?..." Mo Yufeng stuffed the white pendant into her hand and looked at her. "That princess is you!"

"..." Like a bolt from the blue, Ma Qingyi looked at him in a daze, then lowered her head to look at the pendant in her hand. It was the symbol of the Princess of Baihan Kingdom!

Why, why, Mo Yufeng knew all this, but Ma Xiong didn't tell him anything!

Ma Qingyi tightly grasped the pendant and ran out. Mo Yufeng looked at her back, frowned, and did not chase after her.

In fact, even if she knew her true life experience, Ma Qingyi had nothing to hate and nothing to feel sorry about!

Then let her do whatever she wants!

Ma Mansion

"Miss...Miss!" The servant was completely dumbfounded when he saw Ma Qingyi rushing into the door.

Ma Qingyi looked towards Ma Xiong's room and asked in a very calm voice, "Where's my dad?"

"Master, the master is in the study!" Then he turned around and said, "Go and tell the master that the young lady is back!"

"No need, I'll go see him in person!" Ma Qingyi turned and went to the study.

Ma Xiong was looking at the poem in his hand when suddenly the door opened. Ma Xiong looked at the person in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes. He walked over with a trembling voice, "Qingyi? You're still alive..."

Ma Qingyi's heart tightened as she looked at Ma Xiong with gray hair on his temples. It had only been a short while since they last saw him, why had he become like this!

"Dad!" Ma Qingyi called softly.

"Hey! My child, he's still alive! Come here quickly..." Ma Xiong stretched out his hands, and Ma Qingyi ran over and hugged Ma Xiong tightly. "Dad, I'm back!"

Even if the person in front of her wasn't her biological father, so what? Even if those people far away in Baihan Country were her mother and siblings, so what? Ma Qingyi only knew that the person in front of her had raised her for almost twenty years! She was willing to acknowledge someone who gave up their own happiness to raise a stranger for the rest of her life!

"Child, tell me quickly, how...why haven't you come to see me these days!" Ma Xiong wiped his tears and said happily to Ma Qingyi.

"Dad, before that, I still want to ask you something!" Ma Qingyi frowned and looked at Ma Xiong.

"What do you want to ask?" Ma Xiong pulled Ma Qingyi to sit down, and then waited for her to ask questions!

"..." Ma Qingyi didn't say anything and took out the pendant from her waist. Ma Xiong saw that her face was a little embarrassed and her eyes were evasive. "Kid, you know everything?"

"Yes, I know everything. I came back this time just to ask Dad why he didn't tell me earlier?" Ma Qingyi said lightly.

"I first saw you on the battlefield, and I thought you must have been abandoned because of some war... If I told you, I would be afraid that you would meet some villains and get hurt when you go back, so I hid this only symbol of your identity!" Ma Xiong took the pendant, and he could even recall the original scene in his mind.

"Dad, you told Mo Yufeng because..."

"At that time, I thought you were... no longer alive, so I thought that if these things were not told, they would remain a secret forever! This is unfair to you. You are a princess, much more noble than this lady!" Ma Xiong smiled faintly.
