After listening to his words, Ye Xianya carefully calculated the details, but could only see the back of a young woman; there was nothing else.
“That woman also told me that she had no choice, and she called herself ‘mother’ in front of me.”
After hearing his words, Ye Xianya deduced his parents based on his facial features, and what she saw was only Wei Shuyu and a young man, who were Qi Chengshuo's parents in this life.
"Forget it, my current strength is limited, and besides, you were too powerful in your past life. There are some things I really can't figure out. Let's wait until you're stronger before we talk about it," Ye Xianya said, shaking her head.
If this continues, her reputation will be ruined by Qi Chengshuo.
"Keep everything about you a secret. Don't tell anyone unless absolutely necessary," Ye Xianya instructed.
Qi Chengshuo nodded upon hearing this.
The two talked for a while longer before Ye Xianya left the mansion and headed towards the palace.
Qi Chengshuo looked around with some lingering affection after she disappeared before leaving.
Regardless of who he was in his past life, now that the demon race wants to kill him, he must become stronger and cannot rely on Ye Xianya's protection.
That was the girl he liked; as a man, he should protect her.
"Elder, which of those words do you think are credible? Is it the demon race who is right, or the sect leader?" The Fifth Elder looked at the Elder and asked with a smile.
"Of course I believe the sect leader. She never lies. The demon race is different. They are treacherous and cunning. Nine out of ten of their statements are probably false." The Grand Elder said this as if it were a matter of course.
The others nodded in agreement.
Between the demon race and the sect leader, they would naturally choose the sect leader.
When Ye Xianya returned to the palace, Ye Miaoyun was almost asleep.
She has been feeling particularly sleepy these past few days, and no amount of sleep seems to be enough. She often yawns. When Qi Jiu saw this, he told her to get some rest.
"Mother, something happened at the manor today, so I came back a little late," Ye Xianya said with a smile as she sat down next to Ye Miaoyun.
“Child, tell me honestly, did those demon kings make things difficult for you? Were you injured?” Ye Miaoyun asked, holding her daughter’s hand with a worried expression.
"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, perfectly fine, not injured at all." Ye Xianya said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you before that the elders of the Taiyi Sect personally came to the Princess's residence to protect me? How could I possibly be injured?"
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Ye Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. "Xianya, don't leave tonight. Stay in Mother's palace. Let's rest together and have a good talk."
The mother and daughter have been quite busy lately.
After her daughter recovered from her injuries at Taiyi Sect and returned home, the mother and daughter hadn't even had a proper chat yet.
"Mother... I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. When I came in, I saw Father reading in the outer room. He's waiting for you." Ye Xianya blinked and said with a smile.
Qi Jiu couldn't bear to be separated from Ye Miaoyun, and Ye Xianya knew this.
Her mother married a good husband this time. Even though he had become an emperor, he still treated her well as before, and the two of them often spent time together.
Ye Xianya was truly outstanding in her previous life. Although some disciples in the Taiyi Sect mustered up the courage to confess their feelings to her, she rejected them all. Even her third senior brother, who had been pursuing her for several years, was driven away by her.
Back then, she was single-mindedly focused on becoming an immortal and never considered romantic relationships. In this life, she only wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to get married or have children. But... seeing how loving her parents were, to be honest, she was a little tempted.
People are influenced by those around them, and she was no exception.
Moreover, her family in this life is the softest spot in her heart.
Therefore, she no longer resisted these things as she had in her previous life.
Let things take their natural course.
“Your father has his own palace; let him go back to sleep tonight.” Ye Miaoyun held her daughter’s hand tightly, refusing to let go.
"There's something I need to tell you. Let's go out and find Father," Ye Xianya said quickly.
"You can just tell me, why go out to find your father?" Ye Miaoyun asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because of this, I must tell both of you." After saying this, Ye Xianya pulled her mother out.
In the outer room of the bedchamber, Qi Jiu was reading a book, but he was somewhat absent-minded. He wanted to know what his wife and daughter were talking about, but unfortunately the curtain was drawn, so he couldn't hear very clearly.
"When I was still at Taiyi Sect, I did a divination for Mother and Father, and it said that you would have a child of your own this year. After I came back, I did another divination, and it said that the child should already be in Mother's womb. Mother, you should be careful these days. If you feel unwell, remember to call the imperial physician to take your pulse." Ye Xianya said with a smile, "Of course, I can also take Mother's pulse."
Her medical skills far surpassed those of the imperial physicians.
"Child!" Ye Miaoyun and Qi Jiu were both taken aback upon hearing this.
Ye Xianya had said before that they would have their own child sooner or later, but Ye Miaoyun was no longer young. Although she still looked young and beautiful thanks to the medicine Ye Xianya gave her, she was not young anymore.
Many people her age will become grandmothers in less than two years.
Therefore, they didn't dare to ask for much; they just let things take their course.
If he still doesn't have a child of his own in a few years, Qi Jiu will have to adopt his nephew as the crown prince.
But Ye Xianya is now telling them that they will have their own child this year.
Both of them were somewhat stunned.
"Then...then help your mother take her pulse." After Ye Miaoyun came back to her senses, she quickly said, "I've been feeling sleepy and weak these past few days. I wanted to call the imperial physician to take my pulse, but I got busy and forgot. Besides, the imperial physician has to take my pulse every ten days. I figured it would be time in two days, so I wasn't in a hurry to call him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya nodded and quickly took Ye Miaoyun's pulse.
"Congratulations, Mother! Congratulations, Father! This is a pregnancy pulse!" Ye Xianya said excitedly after carefully taking the pulse.
Ye Miaoyun was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a long while, she looked at Qi Jiu beside her.
Qi Jiu was still in a daze.
"Is my husband unhappy?" Ye Miaoyun gently nudged him.
Qi Jiu finally came to his senses. He hurriedly reached out to hug Ye Miaoyun, but then suddenly realized what he was doing and instead held her hand.
Miaoyun is pregnant, so he can't just hold her randomly, lest he hurt the baby.
"I'm so happy, I'm so incredibly happy!" Qi Jiu smiled a little foolishly.
He's finally going to have a child of their own.
This kind of joy is something that others cannot understand.
This is truly a great joy for someone who doesn't have biological children.
Seeing how happy they were, Ye Xianya quietly slipped away.
