Back at his temporary residence, Xiao Zhixing was resting and reading.
Bai Mei came in and whispered, "A strange eunuch came here just now, but I didn't see anyone, and then he left."
Xiao Zhixing nodded, without delving into whose person it was.
In this Great Sheng Dynasty, countless people knew Xiao Yan.
She watched the replay of Li Jun's live stream and, sure enough, Li Jun went back and sought answers from the Duke of Li.
"Father, why were you both so distraught today?"
Anyone with a modicum of common sense would have noticed the strange behavior of the older generation.
Duke Li fiddled with the beads, frowning and remaining silent.
Li Jun voiced her guess, "Could it be... Princess Qingluan resembles an old friend?"
Duke Li rose and paced back and forth, his brow furrowed. "I dare not speak rashly about this matter. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that the people who look alike resemble each other..."
Li Jun said confidently, "But none of you believe it's a coincidence!"
Duke Li gripped the beaded string tightly, his brow furrowed in worry. "If it really is... the court will be in turmoil again. Back then..."
Li Jun's eyes flickered, and she guessed, "She...does she resemble that person a bit?"
Duke Li smiled bitterly, "Except for their expressions, their faces are almost identical... That bastard Xiao Yuanshan, how dare he keep such a big thing a secret!"
Li Jun remained silent; it was really not appropriate for them, as his subjects, to interfere in this matter so casually.
"If she were just that person's daughter, that would be fine, but the more crucial question is, who is her father?"
Duke Li sighed deeply, "That's not important. As long as she's her daughter, it doesn't matter if her father isn't His Majesty!"
Li Jun frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Now that we live in a prosperous world, even if Xiao Qingluan is truly that person's bloodline...
But she is a woman, so what obstacle could she possibly pose?
Duke Li muttered, "You don't understand, you don't understand, alas—"
As for Huo Baijun, he was captured by Huo Jindao as soon as he returned.
"Father, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Huo Baijun looked at his father, who was constantly rubbing his shoes, and said helplessly, "Are you trying to make me stop playing with the princess again?"
Huo Jindao glared, "You bastard, do you even know who she is? Huh? You'll drive me crazy sooner or later."
"I don't ask about status when I make friends! A princess is a princess, do you think I don't know who she is?" Huo Baijun said arrogantly.
Huo Jindao glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice, "She might be... the late Empress's posthumous child, what do you think?"
Huo Baijun: "Uh... Father, let me sort this out. The late Empress? A posthumous child?"
The father and son glared at each other.
Huo Baijun's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. "Ah? Ah!! No wonder, no wonder you've all been acting strangely today, but... wait a minute, wasn't the late Empress already...?"
Hawking said in a sharp tone, "The late Empress passed away from illness, but I did not see her body; there was only a cenotaph."
Huo Baijun gasped, blurting out, "Amazing! They actually managed to leave the palace and fly away?!"
*Smack!* Huo Jindao smacked him on the back of the head. "Shut up!... Something's definitely not right about this. It could cause a huge mess. Who wouldn't be scared of her face?"
"Father, you haven't done anything to betray the late Empress, have you?"
"Get out! If you want revenge, go after those... Your father is loyal to the world, strictly follows family precepts, and has a clear conscience."
"Tsk, then why are you in such a hurry? Back then, things weren't chaotic at all. What could a little girl like Zhixing do?"
"Twenty years have passed now, and the country is stable. Even if the late empress herself were to return, she wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble. Only those who have a guilty conscience would be nervous."
"Hmm, that's true... Kid, tell me honestly, are you interested in her?"
Huo Baijun jumped up in fright, his face flushed red, "Father, shut up! I treat the princess as a brother!!"
Huo Jindao sneered, "It had better be that way. You little brat, you're not good enough for her. Don't be a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Enraged, Huo Baijun slammed the door and left.
The comments section was filled with laughter, clearly showing that Huo Baijun was just as popular as Xiao Zhixing; people just love watching this kind of lighthearted entertainment.
Stop laughing! It turns out that our Princess might really be Princess Yuan Sheng's daughter!!
[I only acknowledge her as Princess Yuansheng's daughter; we don't acknowledge any other men! No one is worthy of the princess!]
[Oh, so our princess is a self-pleasuring princess?]
【No, I'm so confused! Isn't the princess Marshal Xiao's daughter? That's recorded in history!】
[We were so naive. We didn't know her mother was Princess Yuan Sheng. If she is, then the princess's background is...]
Come on, let's place a bet! Whose child is the princess? Let's open the betting!
[Most likely, it's Zha Zha Qi's?]
【Zha Zha Qi? Who? Uh… hahaha, you really need a contemporary friend to come up with a name!】
[I don't believe it. It must be Xiao Yuanshan's. Our Marshal is so devoted; he never married!]
[According to unofficial historical accounts, many men were fond of Princess Yuansheng. Is it possible that she was one of those men?]
[Buy your tickets now and don't miss out! Uncover the mystery of the princess's origins.]
Bai Su also joined in the fun and participated in the event, secretly wondering who the princess's father was.
Xiao Zhixing exited the viewing.
Seeing that Duke Li was nervous, she chuckled and said, "You'll be scared to death."
These old ministers must have wronged Xiao Yan back then. They all did bad things, so let her give them some mental intimidation as revenge for their "mother".
Unfortunately, Bai Su wanted to keep a shot of himself, so he couldn't go to the live stream to watch Zhao Yunqi's side.
She also wanted to see if the main system would discover the live streaming system.
Having just experienced it up close, I can see that the main system is much more powerful.
If there are no flaws, it will be very difficult for her to infiltrate silently.
She began to understand Xiao Yan's arrangements regarding her own background.
