"Bai Yi, take good care of Master."
"Okay, Your Highness!" Bai Yi watched the couple leave and hurried into the main hall.
At this time, Dongfang Yinzhang took off his mask, put his elbows on the table and pinched his eyebrows.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"My disciple now has a deep relationship with Princess Xiao!" Dongfang Yinzhang put down his hand that was pressing on his forehead and said helplessly.
"Isn't this exactly what we want to see? The princess and the prince have a good relationship. If Feng Jinyu wants to fight with the prince in the future, the princess and the Xiao family army will stand on the prince's side! Not only that, because the other three kingdoms of the children are all powerful backings of the prince, Feng Jinyu has no chance at all."
Dongfang Yinzhang: "I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that Princess Xiao is too smart and will guess that I was behind her marriage."
Bai Yi: "Master, you only anonymously provided the Beiyi Emperor with clues that his eldest son was still alive, and only proposed that Princess Xiao marry him!"
"The Emperor of Beiyi could have directly brought the prince and the children back to the capital to be cared for, but he didn't. Instead, he waited nearly a year for Feng Jinyu to be framed. He then took advantage of the situation and married Princess Xiao to the prince. The princess can only blame the emperor. What does this have to do with you?"
"Also, even if Princess Xiao still has feelings for Feng Jinyu, she is now the prince's wife, and the child in her belly is still the prince's. She has no right to help Feng Jinyu!"
Dongfang Yinzhang nodded: "Even so, it was indeed me who deliberately arranged for Xingyi to pick up the children!"
"You don't have to worry about it. The father-son relationship between the prince and the children is real! It can't be faked! You're not wrong to pave the way for the prince. Even if you rescue these four children and send them to their biological parents immediately, there's no guarantee they'll be harmed again!"
yes!
That’s right!
This time, Dongfang Yinzhang finally figured it out and felt at ease.
The couple returned to the main courtyard and it was completely dark.
Xiao Lingyu hadn't rested for half a day and was very tired. He lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep.
When Su Xingyi came back from the shower and saw Xiao Lingyu turning over with her hands on her stomach, he quickly went over to help her.
"Go to bed early, you've been tired for most of the day."
"Okay! You should go to bed early too." Xiao Lingyu closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
After a while, the sound of flipping pages was heard coming from the table.
Xiao Lingyu opened his eyes and saw Su Xingyi's profile. Looking at his serious expression, he looked somewhat like Feng Jinyu.
If Feng Jinyu knew the truth in the future...what would he think?
Su Xingyi noticed that Xiao Lingyu's breathing was gradually becoming steady, so he closed the book, stood up and left the room.
Su Xingyi arrived at the entrance of Merlin, where the Eastern Seal was already waiting.
"Master, my disciple is here."
Dongfang Yinzhang turned around and said, "Disciple, I want to apologize to you. The reason I haven't shown up in all these years and didn't dare come back to find you is because I was afraid that the person who wanted to murder you would know your whereabouts."
"Master, when I learned my true identity, did you ever wonder why you hadn't shown up in all these years? Those who were hunting you were actually hunting me, wasn't that right?"
Dongfang Yinzhang nodded. "You guessed it, it's true! I came here to tell you that when I caught An Ge'er from the cliff, I wanted to send him back to the Song Mansion. However, we were chased in the suburbs of Beijing and couldn't enter the capital. I could only flee south with An Ge'er in my arms. But the child was always unsafe with me, so I thought of sending him to you. Actually, when you picked up An Ge'er on Wufeng Mountain, I was... hiding nearby."
Dongfang Yinzhang felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
Su Xingyi's expression was surprised, then he returned to normal, "Are you teaching me how to be a father without any instruction?"
"This..." Dongfang Yinzhang was embarrassed to say it out loud, but this was indeed what he meant at the time.
Thinking of his disciple's helpless look at that time, he was indeed a little ruthless.
Su Xing thought he didn't respond, and smiled and said, "Am I very perceptive? I'm both a good father and a good mother?"
Dongfang Yinzhang laughed awkwardly, "Haha... you really have a good understanding, you learned it all on your own."
After that, the two remained silent for a while.
Dongfang Yinzhang was afraid that Su Xingyi might misunderstand him, so he continued, "When I found An Ge'er, I didn't think much of it at first. I was just worried that I couldn't protect him with him by my side. That day, when I saw you carrying An Ge'er down the mountain, I realized that you had raised him well, and his true identity would help you when you want to take back everything that belongs to you!"
"Also, you often went to the wealthy families in Huayang County to exchange their prey for silver. When you found Brother Jie and Brother Wen, I happened to be back to see you. It was inconvenient for me to show up, so I could only protect you in secret. Whenever you went to Huayang County, I would tell you a fortune to see if your trip would be smooth. I accidentally deduced that a murder had occurred in Huayang County..."
I see!
"If Brother Wen hadn't taken the detoxification pill in time, even if I had found him that night, not only would he not be able to speak, he would not have survived."
"He wasn't destined to die. Even if I hadn't taken action, you would have prescribed medicine and treated him. It's just that it was too late to save him, and his body would have suffered more damage. I didn't want him to suffer too much, so I gave him an antidote pill in time."
"Although this was intentionally arranged by the master, when you saw them, you wanted to take them home to raise them from the bottom of your heart. Your father-son relationship is real!"
Su Xingyi thought of the days he spent with the children, and a happy smile spread across his lips. "Thank you, Master, for sending these four children to me. I love them very much."
Su Xingyi thought of the Xiao family's plight, and how Xiao Lingyu couldn't bring his family back to Beijing to visit relatives, so he asked, "Did Master arrange for the princess to come and marry me?"
After Xiaoyu came, the family underwent earth-shaking changes.
There is also the title deed to Luoxia Cottage. If he hadn't gone to Dongjun and found his master, his master would definitely show up on the day the rent was due!
“This…” Dongfang Seal didn’t want to admit it.
"Master!" Su Xingyi looked at Dongfang Yinzhang with a searching and sharp gaze. "Tell me, I want to know the truth!"
Dongfang Yinzhang avoided his gaze and hesitated for a moment before telling him the truth.
The reason why he proposed that Xiao Lingyu marry Su Xingyi was mainly because he calculated that only Xiao Lingyu could cure Su Xingyi.
"The princess should have been granted marriage to you since birth! You two are destined to be husband and wife!"
Dongfang Yinzhang said this and turned away, leaving Su Xingyi standing there in a daze.
Is Xiaoyu destined to be his wife?
What about Feng Jinyu who risked his life to come all the way to find Xiaoyu?
It can be said that Xiaoyu and Feng Jinyu grew up together, and their relationship must be very deep.
If Xiaoyu hadn't observed the three-year mourning period, they would have been married long ago!
How can it be his turn?
Thinking of this, Su Xingyi felt a little relieved and a little sad.
