"Your aunt wouldn't say anything nonsense. If she says yes, then you must be members of the Dongjun royal family."
Su Xingyi knew Xiao Lingyu, she was always rigorous in her work and she would not speak nonsense.
"Xiao Yu, you must have evidence to support your claim. Tell them now and convince them."
Xiao Lingyu slowly recounted, "That time at the county's northern pier, among those who died on the boat, one was a eunuch who had undergone a castration. I even went to the government office to see him. He looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before. Later, I drew him, and then I remembered seeing him at a palace banquet for the Dongjun envoy a few years ago..."
"There was also that time when my family and Xiaojiu were on a boat trip and were chased by a large number of assassins. At that time, I was just a princess in name only. There was no need for people in the court to assassinate me. These assassins were obviously coming for Xiaojiu."
"I have some understanding of your Dongjun royal family, so it's not difficult for me to guess your identities. Your last visit to Beiyi should have been to enter the Beiyi Imperial Mausoleum to pay homage to Empress Fu'an, the eldest princess of your Dongjun. Am I correct?"
Now that things have come to this, there's no need for the uncle and nephew to keep it secret anymore.
"Aunt, how can you be so clever? You've completely outmaneuvered my uncle and nephew. If I hadn't come looking for you this time, we wouldn't have known you were the Protector of Beiyi."
"My princess can come up with a unique birthday cake, which is enough to prove that she is very smart."
Su Xingyi felt more and more that he had found a treasure. He had to protect it well and not lose it and let others pick it up.
Xiao Lingyu looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "I guess you want us to go to Linyang City, but you actually want to take us to Dongjun?"
The uncle and nephew were exposed and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, you guessed it right again."
"I really want to visit the prosperous Dongjun, but now I have no choice. I cannot return to the capital without being summoned. My every move will be known to others, and I cannot go to Dongjun. I hope you two can understand."
Shangguan Yunxiao frowned when he heard this. "We came here to find out more about your family. Your Xiao family has been rehabilitated. It's unacceptable that you can't return to Beijing to visit your relatives."
Emperor Beiyi is either out of his mind or has a conspiracy.
"I can't guess the emperor's intentions, so I can only follow his orders. Since it's a rare opportunity for you to come to Huayang County, why don't you stay a few days and explore the area?"
"All right."
Xiaojiu followed Shangguan Yunxiao back to the Jade Hall with a melancholy look on his face.
"Yunxiao, what should we do? Father is waiting for us to take the person to Dongjun."
Shangguan Yunxiao pondered for a moment, "Isn't your eldest brother good at painting? Let him paint them. If he can't bring the people back, he can take the portraits back with him. It will be considered as an explanation to the royal grandfather."
"Good idea, I'll go talk to my eldest brother about this now."
"It's getting dark. Let's talk to him tomorrow and ask him if he can draw a picture of Su Xingyi emerging from the bath."
"Bath picture?"
"It's a portrait of Su Xingyi without clothes on."
"I'm afraid that's not possible. How can you draw a bathing picture? Uncle wouldn't agree to that. He'd think we had ulterior motives."
The purpose was not pure in the first place!
"Didn't you say your uncle had a lotus-shaped birthmark?"
"Oh, yes, he did. He held me in his arms while I took a bath. I saw that."
"Then why don't you think of a way to get your older brother to draw it?"
"Okay, just draw the birthmark on the chest. Big brother should be able to draw it..."

"Have you found out Song Linyuan's whereabouts?"
Su Xingyi: "He is at the Ruilong Inn, only three blocks away from our Princess Mansion."
"Could it be that he has set his sights on our Princess Mansion?"
"To be precise, they've targeted our An Ge'er."
Xiao Lingyu said solemnly, "Bring someone with you tomorrow. I want to meet him in person."
"Princess, Master Su, the hot water is ready."
Xiao Lingyu raised his chin and said, "Go take a shower first."
Su Xingyi finished his shower quickly, and with his wet and red upper body naked, he sat on the bed wearing only a pair of underwear and covered with a quilt, waiting for Xiao Lingyu to favor him.
After sitting for half an incense stick, I found that the light in the room was too bright, so I got out of bed and blew out a few lights.
The room became noticeably darker, and incense was lit again.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and Su Xingyi hurriedly hid behind the door.
Xiao Lingyu pushed the door open and looked directly at the bed.
I can only look towards the bed, where the light is the brightest.
Huh? Where are the people?
Not finished washing yet?
Xiao Lingyu was surprised, but he did not stop and walked quickly towards the big bed.
After taking a shower, my body was wet and it was winter, so even if I wrapped myself in a layer of cotton clothes, I would still feel cold. I had to quickly get into bed to keep warm.
As soon as I approached the bed, I was pushed down by a source of heat...
At the end of midnight, the clouds and rain in the room finally cleared.
"Xiao Yu, I worked so hard tonight, I should be pregnant, right?"
"Hmm~" Xiao Lingyu was too tired to open his eyes, and replied in a soft voice.
The next day.
"Third Master." Song Hua entered the room carrying breakfast. "Are we checking out at noon today?"
"Wait a little longer."
Song Linyuan always felt that his wife and son were in Huayang County. If he left, he might never see them again.
Song Hua: "You have to make a decision as soon as possible. The old man has issued a death order. You must find the young master before the New Year, otherwise..."
"I know." Song Linyuan interrupted him, "Wait a little longer, a few days won't be a big deal."
"Have you heard? The Western Rong have breached Wuyu Pass and captured five of our cities!"
"What should we do? The Xirong people are crude and barbaric. What if they invade Huayang County?"
"Don't be afraid. They won't massacre the city. I heard that the Xirong sent troops not to annex our Beiyi territory, but to seek justice for the Xirong Princess. They say that the Xirong Princess has never had a good day since she married into the Zhenbei General's Mansion. It is said that she was imprisoned in a dungeon for eight years, was not fed enough, and almost starved to death."
