"What else? Could it be that Daddy has an even more distinguished background?"
Su Ningwen felt that something was different about his sister.
"Third brother, do you still remember what you found in Daddy's box last time?"
"It's a swaddling cloth embroidered with a phoenix, and a jade pendant embroidered with a lotus and two fishes."
Xiao Xier continued, "This phoenix swaddling cloth can only be used by members of the royal family. Since Daddy is the grandson of the old Emperor of Dongjun, why don't you bring him back to Dongjun to live with him? Does that mean Daddy is..."
"A member of the Beiyi royal family!" Su Ningwen blurted out. "Daddy is a prince!"
Xiao Xier pursed her lips. Third brother was really smart. He guessed it with just a little guidance!
"Hmm, I think we must have guessed right again this time!"
"Sister, mother probably doesn't know yet. Let's go tell her."
Xiao Xier held him back, "Mom is so smart, she should have known it long ago. Dad probably also knows who his biological father is."
“No wonder Daddy pretended to have amnesia when he came back. He didn’t want the people sent by the Emperor to know that he had been to Dongjun…Ah!”
Su Ningwen suddenly cried out in surprise, quickly looked out the window, and lowered his voice again: "I think I know why the emperor won't allow mother to return to Beijing to visit relatives freely!"
It was not difficult for Xiao Xier to guess that Emperor Beiyi probably knew that Daddy was his son, and would only allow Mommy to return to Beijing if she gave birth to Daddy's son.
When mother returns to Beijing, father will naturally follow.
Only then would Emperor Beiyi find a reason to get to know his father and recognize him as his father.
"Then why do you say that?"
"I guess it was all designed by the Emperor!"
Su Ningwen didn't want to believe in conspiracy theories, but there was no way. He had to make such speculations based on what happened to the four brothers and sisters.
Xiao Xi'er was surprised, "Why do you think it was all designed by the emperor?"
"My father was blind and unable to walk, and we were four hungry children. Who in such a poor family would be willing to marry him? When he was still hunting in the mountains to earn money to support us, the girls in the village liked him, but they were reluctant to marry him because of the four of us. When our family was in the most difficult time, no one would come to be our mother. Old Lady Li and her people were planning to take us brothers and sisters away and sell us for money."
When the old lady Li was mentioned, Xiao Xier frowned unconsciously.
"I guess the emperor knew that Daddy was his son when we were in the most difficult time. A father seeing his son living such a difficult life would definitely want to cure him, but at the same time he would also want to find him a wife. Naturally, this choice fell on our mother, but Mother was engaged to the eldest prince. Under normal circumstances, Mother would not have been able to marry our father. The eldest prince rebelled, and the Xiao family was implicated and exiled. Mother was forced to marry our father. This was probably planned by the emperor!"
Xiao Xier shook her head, "That's impossible! What father would marry his daughter-in-law to another son? Isn't that insane? Since he knew that Daddy was blind and disabled, he would take us back to the capital to take care of us. That's what a normal father would do."
Xiao Xier thought of Feng Jinyu. She had the impression that he had risked his life to find his mother. During the time they spent together, Feng Jinyu seemed to be a good person.
If the emperor really did this, he would be a bastard. The two brothers would be on opposite sides in the future and might even fight!
"Then the Emperor is not a normal father?"
Xiao Xier asked, "Is it possible that the emperor doesn't know that our father is his son?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Ningwen said affirmatively, "It's obviously not common sense that mother cannot return to the capital without being summoned. Therefore, the emperor must know that father is his son. Perhaps he only found out that father is his son after mother got married."
Su Ningwen could only persuade himself in this way!
Xiao Xier felt that there was another possibility, that Feng Jinyu's mother might be the person behind the murder of Queen Fu'an, and her mother was originally trained as the daughter-in-law for the future crown prince.
Only the Emperor of Beiyi dared to do this, after all, the Beiyi royal family attaches great importance to blood inheritance!
It's just speculation now, so it's hard to draw conclusions. "We'll know sooner or later. I'm leaving."
"Sister, won't you stay and study with me?"
"No." Xiao Xi'er turned her back to him and waved. "I'm going to talk to my mother about my personal matters. Uncle Zilu and Meng Yunqian will come to accompany you to study in a while."
Xiao Lingyu was still taking a nap at this time. Xiao Xier tiptoed to the bedside and touched her bulging belly.
Xiao Lingyu had a smile on his lips, as if he had had a beautiful dream.
Xiao Lingyu opened her eyes feeling relaxed all over, and saw Xiao Xier sleeping on the side of the bed, with her little hand touching her belly.
Xiao Lingyu reached out to carry her to the bed. As soon as she moved, Xiao Xier straightened up and smiled sweetly at her, "Mother, are you awake?"
"Are you still sleepy? If you are, come up and take a nap."
"I'm not sleepy. Are you feeling well, mother?"
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu not only felt comfortable, but the fragrance in the room seemed to be even more pleasant.
"Are you using your fragrance to help mother's pregnancy?"
Xiao Xier nodded, "Xiao Wu should smell my fragrance more often. In the future, he will not only be plump and white, but also smell better than other men."
"Are you so sure that Xiaowu is a younger brother and not a younger sister?"
"It's my brother! Xiangxiang's brother!"
She remembered that her mother's first child was a son, the Crown Prince of Beiyi.
"However, he can't control the fragrance as freely as I can."
Xiao Lingyu said: "Of course, you are Xiao Xi'er, you are different and unique."
"Huanghuang told me that I should have smelled good since I was born. Why did I only start smelling good last year? Does mother know what's going on?"
How do you say this?
Tell her directly that she has been poisoned with the deadly poison of withering everything?
Now that she knows the truth, won’t she fly to Nankun to seek revenge?
She is still pregnant, so I can’t tell her yet!
"This... Mother isn't sure either. Maybe before, you were sometimes hungry and sometimes full, so you couldn't release the fragrance. Later, I made you nourishing food and washed you to make you fragrant, so you became fragrant and were able to control the release of fragrance."
Her mother still treated her like a three-year-old child.
"Mother, I suddenly remembered that something seemed to be wrong with me. I remember that not long after you came, you carried me to the vegetable garden to relieve yourself. I clearly saw that the vegetables were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were emitting a foul stench..."
Xiao Lingyu secretly said that it was not good, the child was one year older and it was difficult to coax him.
"...I remember my mother said there was something unclean in my stomach and that I just needed to expel it. I think I became fragrant only after all the dirt in my body was expelled! It wasn't because I washed myself with different scented soaps that I became fragrant!"
Seeing Xiao Xier's clear and logical analysis, Xiao Lingyu suddenly felt that Xiao Xier was a little different.
