Yan Peinan just looked up and saw the rare guest. His tone couldn't help but rise a little.
"Hey, Xiaonan, I have something to tell you. I'll tell you once everyone is here."
After Ji Wan finished speaking, her eyes sparkled and she acted pitifully, begging Yang Guan to serve her another bowl of bean rice.
Although I couldn’t finish it, I still wanted to get another bowl. After all, Yang Guan would cover me if I couldn’t finish it.
Yan Peinan nodded. Seeing Ji Wan eating so happily, he couldn't help but call someone out to give instructions to the small kitchen.
So, when Cao Ke arrived last, his colleagues all brought out bean rice, and the smell of fresh radish soup filled the government office.
Cao Ke had a loving wife who helped him take care of the meals at home, and like Pan Zhuo, they all ate at home.
Cui Min finally had to sigh, as expected, no one could resist the charm of His Highness’s personal eating broadcast.
Ji Wan burped and rubbed his bloated stomach. He saw that everyone had almost finished eating.
Then he dropped a huge bombshell: "I am not from the royal family of Donglin Kingdom."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? You are not from the royal family of Donglin Kingdom, so whose family are you from?" Jin Lie scratched his head curiously.
"Well, I have a very close relationship with Ningxi Kingdom."
Pan Zhuo thought of Xiling Mingyue and frowned slowly: "Your Highness, your biological mother must be Madam Xiling, right?"
Ji Wan nodded and said, "Yes."
Pan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. It was easy to handle if it was the princess's child. As for who the father was—that didn't matter.
As long as it is the princess's child, no matter what happens in Donglin Kingdom, it can be considered as evidence in Ningxi Kingdom, at least it can prove the purity of the bloodline.
The title of wanting that position is also legitimate.
"Yes, mother is indeed my mother." Ji Wan paused and then dropped a bombshell.
"My father is Emperor Ningxi, Xilingyun."
"Poof..." Gong Xu, who was leisurely serving tea and enjoying his meal, spit out something violently.
It just happened to splash onto the table opposite Zuo Yue, causing her to frown in disgust.
The retainers: "..."
Yang Guan "..."
This bombshell was dropped unexpectedly, and the Government Affairs Office fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
"What...what? Aren't Madam Xiling and Emperor Ningxi biological siblings?!" Cui Min lost his voice.
The Cui family had a special intelligence organization that reported on the movements of various countries. As he was born into the Cui family, he naturally knew that the two were indeed siblings.
Ji Wan nodded: "In order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the Ningxi Kingdom has always had royal families marrying each other. This is no secret in the Ningxi Kingdom." Then she looked at Yang Guan.
He suddenly said, "Don't you think so, Yang Guan?"
Now, the advisers all turned their attention to Yang Guan.
Yang Guan sat on a low stool in silence for a while, then he stood up with a sad face and knelt down in front of Ji Wan.
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent, and I acknowledge my guilt."
"This...what's wrong with Brother Yang..." After Jin Lie finished speaking, Lou Shao beside him couldn't help but push his arm, signaling him to stop talking.
"I wasn't sure at first, and I wanted to trick you this time, but I didn't expect you to be so clueless and confess everything yourself." Ji Wan shook his head with a bad expression.
In fact, she originally thought that Yang Guan was Xiling Mingyue's subordinate.
But Xiling Mingyue told Ji Wan last night that given Xiling Yun's personality, he should not only keep sending messages to the mother and daughter to make sure that they were really okay.
You also need to have spies nearby to report back information from time to time.
Of course, Xiling Ci, the son taught by Xiling Yun himself, would certainly be the same.
So Ji Wan wanted to trick Yang Guan in the Government Affairs Office today to see if he was sent by Ning Xiguo.
If so, who sent the father and son? I didn't expect Yang Guan to not even try to hide it.
Just admit it directly.
"It is I who have betrayed His Highness's trust and incurred His Highness's dislike." According to His Highness's character and with Xiao Cui's previous experience as a lesson, Yang Guan did not think he could walk out of the Government Affairs Hall alive today.
Most importantly, there had been many opportunities for him to confess.
But he didn't say anything and didn't explain it clearly to Ji Wan.
Based on his understanding of His Highness, this alone was enough for His Highness to kill him in anger.
"Okay, Yang Guan, I know everything now. From now on..." Ji Wan was interrupted by Yang Guan before he could finish his words.
He banged his head against the wall with a 'bang bang' sound.
"Your Highness, you can punish me however you want, even kill me, but please don't drive me away. I beg you, Your Highness!"
Ji Wan looked at Yang Guan disappointedly, and finally a little anger started to rise in her heart. Her tone became more serious: "Yang Guan!"
"I remember that before, because of the Feng Quan incident, I heard you promise..."
You are not afraid of death but afraid of leaving her, so why don’t you make it clear earlier.
When the subordinates saw that Ji Wan was really angry, they all dared not breathe, and secretly wondered in their hearts, could it be that His Highness actually has a bad relationship with Ning Xi Kingdom?
Or is he so angry because Yang Guanxin has two masters?
Yes, if it was a good thing, why would His Highness have to live a miserable life in the cold palace for so many years if she had not been a princess second only to the emperor?
Zuo Yue stood up and defended Yang Guan: "Your Highness, if Yang Guan has done nothing wrong to you over the years, please give him a chance to make amends for his mistakes, considering that you accompanied him when he was young!"
Compared to everyone here, Zuo Yue is the one who values camaraderie the most. He is also the only one who can offer some advice and defend his colleagues when Ji Wan is furious.
Ji Wan glanced at Zuo Yue, took two deep breaths, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, Zhongyang! Get out!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guan lowered his head even more, his face turning even paler. He looked extremely depressed, like a drowned dog.
Facts have proved that Zuo Yue's advice was effective. Ji Wan really thought about everything Yang Guan had done for her over the years.
Seeing that Ji Wan's expression had eased considerably, Gong Xu took the opportunity to speak: "Yes, Your Highness, after all, it has been so many years..."
Ji Wan glared at the silly Gong Xu, thinking that he would teach Yang Guan a lesson this time, but he must not be disturbed by these two people.
"Yang Guan! I'm giving you one last chance! Go to Ningxi Country right now and invite Crown Prince Xilingci to Qiandao State for a meeting."
Since Yang Guan admitted that he was sent by Ningxi State, Xiling Mingyue didn't know. There was only one possibility, that Yang Guan was sent by the Crown Prince Xiling Ci.
Yang Guanzong felt as if he was hallucinating. His Highness actually spared him like this? No, according to His Highness's personality, he had really angered His Highness by doing this. He would probably be punished after returning.
After a while, he dared to look up at Ji Wan's angry face and said, "Yes."
As long as he can return to His Highness, he will do anything, even if it means returning to face punishment.
Ji Wan waved his hand and let the fool Yang Guan leave the Government Affairs Office, then he sighed.
