The jade pendant belonged to Ye Yunheng's son.

After Ye Yunheng faked his death, he went to work for Li Heng. Li Heng won people's hearts and used women to win him over. Now, that woman has given birth to two children for Ye Yunheng.

Ye Yunheng valued the mother and her two children very much.

Li Xiangguo attempted to use the lives of the mother and her two children to warn Ye Yunheng not to betray him, which was also a form of threat.

However, "Prime Minister, will Huo Zhan and Shi Wuxia betray you?"

The Prime Minister has made it clear that he wants to cooperate with Huo Zhan.

Li Heng gritted his teeth. "Although the two countries have made peace, Dongwu has been invading Dayuan for many years. The emperor may not believe what he says."

Moreover, he didn't leave any evidence for Huo Zhan, so his words were just empty words.

He was, after all, a supporter of the emperor's ascension to the throne, and had even climbed to the position of prime minister. Without solid evidence, the emperor would not easily punish him.

Despite this, he still felt uneasy, so he summoned another man in black into the room and whispered instructions to him.

Inside the palace, Ye Zhen tried her best to be at ease, but it was the first time she had sat down with her biological father, and she found it difficult to remain calm.

Especially his silver hair.

Ye Zhen remembered that his hair was black in the dream. Could this be related to his rebirth?

In the dream, the woman, who was also her great-grandmother, said that if she gave up all her merits, she would go to hell after death and suffer all kinds of torment. In her next life, she would also experience all kinds of hardships.

Therefore, if the three of them contributed together, each of them must have paid a price.

Furthermore, Xie Tingzhou's people went looking for him. He clearly didn't acknowledge his relationship with his mother at the time, so why did he come to Dayuan and then acknowledge her?

As Ye Zhen was lost in thought, he heard a deep, loving voice beside him, "Back then, I didn't know your mother was pregnant, nor did I know her identity."

The land of Kyushu is so vast that finding someone disguised as a man is not easy.

And when she left, she left behind that note...

Years ago, he was accidentally poisoned, and she took off her clothes to counteract the poison for him. Only then did he realize that she was actually a woman.

Afterwards, she quietly left, leaving only a note that read, "Adults are mutually consenting, no need to thank me, and no need to look for me. I have no feelings for you, I only helped you detoxify because I couldn't bear to see the Great Wei without a regent."

By then, he had already fallen for her.

Before he could even rejoice that the person he admired was a woman, he was struck dumb by those words.

In his youthful arrogance, he refused to look for her in a huff, but he also couldn't stand any other woman.

Later, his longing overcame his resentment, and when he began searching for her everywhere, he discovered that he knew very little about her.

Until Xie Tingzhou's men came looking for him.

“It’s not just you who are looking for me. I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I’ve decided not to make any contact and to come secretly so that your sister can investigate first.”

He explained to Ye Zhen.

He added, "Later I saw your mother's diary..."

She came from China thousands of years later, a country engulfed in war. She was determined to dedicate herself to the revolution and die to save countless people.

After dying, she transmigrated into the body of a young Ye Jinghong. After that night of passion, she regained her memories and learned that Canglang was rampaging through the Great Abyss.

The inhumane plundering by Canglang reminded her of the Japanese invaders who had invaded China. She could not bear to see Dayuan suffer the same fate as China, nor could she bear to see Canglang cause such devastation to Dayuan.

"As a fellow soldier, I understand your mother; serving the country is a mission ingrained in her very being."

If she becomes my wife, she can only stay in the Great Wei, in the inner palace, which is worse than death for her.

But I cannot forgive her on your behalf, even though she was unaware she was pregnant when she left.

However, she did not contact him afterwards to tell him about her pregnancy, causing her daughter to go through many hardships, and even nearly die.

He understood her thoughts; she was afraid that if he found her, he would take her back to Dawei, or even try to take the child from her, so she dared not reveal her whereabouts.

But the one who suffers the most is the daughter.

"I also bear responsibility for not finding you sooner."

His voice was low, but just enough for Ye Zhen to hear clearly.

Ye Zhen gripped the teacup in his hand tightly.

Her intuition was right; someone had indeed entered her room that night—it was him.

Therefore, he did not reject her.

Why is your hair white?

Shi Yan paused slightly, "I don't know either. I woke up in the middle of the night in March and my skin turned white, but it doesn't affect my health."

He wondered if his daughter was concerned about his health.

Still don't think it looks good?

After all, her mother was a womanizer, and what if her daughter took after her?

He was a little uneasy. "If you think it looks bad, I can ask your great-grandmother for some ointment to dye it black."

After his hair turned white, his grandmother came back once and asked if he wanted her to turn it black.

He didn't care.

Grandfather, however, was jealous. “He’s a lifelong bachelor who never finds a wife. Why does he need to dye his hair so beautifully? Having more children and grandchildren is just a burden. You’re putting less and less energy into me.”

Unwilling to compete with his grandfather for favor, the matter was dropped.

A storm raged through Ye Zhen's heart. "Do you remember which day it was?"

March was the month she was reborn.

"March 15th".

Sure enough, it was because of her that she returned reborn on March 15th, while his hair had turned white.

Ye Zhen sniffed.

It turns out she did have a father, but he was secretly supporting her in ways she didn't know.

Shi Yan noticed her emotional fluctuations and poured her a cup of warm tea.

Ye Zhen thought of the dream about her mother and asked, "Where is my great-grandmother?"

Could she get her mother to come back sooner?
