When Dongfang Qing's people came, Baili Feiyue was not surprised at all.
Or rather, this was the moment she had been waiting for.
Baili Feiyue came to the Xiyue Palace again, but the feeling was completely different from the first time she entered the Xiyue Palace.
Yes, the emperor has changed, so his preferences and work styles must have changed as well.
The current Xiyue Palace is like most of the other palaces - depressing and solemn. The palace servants are well-behaved and cautious, fearing that one misstep would lead to eternal damnation.
There are only a few people left who served during Dongfang Ye's time, and the entire palace has undergone a major change.
Dongfang Qing looked completely different from the Dongfang Qing of the past, or even from the Dongfang Qing three months ago.
The same eyebrows and features, but truly lonely and cold without a trace of warmth, and those dark eyes are an unfathomable dark abyss.
Standing next to him was a person that Baili Feiyue was very familiar with, but whom he hadn't seen for a long time—Yan Su.
Yan Su saw that Baili Feiyue did not feel guilty at all, but he still nodded respectfully and saluted.
Baili Feiyue was not surprised to see Yan Su either. She had already concluded Yan Su's true identity. Although she was the guard given to her by Changsun Wuji, her real master was Dongfang Qing.
Yan Su's existence once again shows that Dongfang Qing's brother was able to hold this position in three months, not by some miracle, but because he had the ability. He was never a harmless prince protected under Dongfang Ye's wings.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have started placing people around Changsun Wuji, the Regent of Dajing, many years ago.
Again, Dongfang Qing was able to place his own people many years ago. Those who were not Dongfang Ye were his, and they were beside Changsun Wuji. Then how could there not be his people beside important figures in other countries, or beside those who needed attention in his own country?
Currently, there are only Dongfang Qing, Yan Su, and Baili Feiyue in the hall.
"sit."
It was just a brief word, without any unnecessary emotion. Baili Feiyue was not prepared to perform the grand ceremony of paying homage to the emperor of a country, so she just sat down naturally and casually.
Dongfang Qing didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything either. She just stared at him calmly without dodging or avoiding.
Dongfang Qing's eyelids twitched slightly, "What are you looking at? Just say what you want to say."
Baili Feiyue laughed, "Brother, you were the one who asked me to come to the palace, don't you have something to say to me?"
Dongfang Qing raised his eyelids slightly, and his dark and calm eyes fell on her.
Baili Feiyue immediately gave him another bright smile.
He spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit that I have been wandering in Xiyue Kyoto for so long, and I do have something to say to you."
She looked distressed and sighed, "Brother, I don't dare to leave Xiyue now. You know, if I step out of Xiyue, it's hard to say how far I can go alive."
She was terrified and said, "Brother, you are a powerful emperor now, you must protect me~"
Yan Su didn't know how Dongfang Qing, his master, would react. Perhaps he couldn't tell what his reaction was. But Yan Su rarely saw Baili Feiyue in this state. He felt like he couldn't bear to watch...
"Stay in Xiyue, no one can touch you."
Baili Feiyue shook her head, "That won't work."
The bottomless eyes suddenly became cold, Baili Feiyue was not afraid, "It's true that I'm afraid of death, but I don't want to live my whole life in hiding."
Dongfang Qing finally showed his emotion and said coldly, "You came here today just to tease your brother?"
Yan Su lowered his head even lower, so that others could not see the redness that suddenly appeared in his eyes.
She pretended to be deaf and blind.
The master is still the loyal master. At least, in front of Miss Ling San, he is still the brother, how nice...
Baili Feiyue stood up and leaned closer from the front of the dragon table. Although there was still some distance between them, Dongfang Qing frowned.
"Brother, I have known a secret for a long time, and I have been thinking whether to tell you. Since you are my brother, well, I have decided to tell you now."
Dongfang Qing remained calm and composed.
Baili Feiyue knew that no matter how smart this person was, he couldn't guess what she was going to say at this moment, and he probably thought she was still playing.
She directly took out the letter written by Su Yu that Xiangyang brought to her last time and placed it in front of Dongfang Qing.
"Sister-in-law Mo Li gave birth to a nephew for me, named Su Yu. Now..." She roughly calculated Su Yu's age and the time that had passed, "He's about eleven years old."
When Princess Mo Li was still around, she managed to keep the secret for her.
Princess Mo Li is gone now. If Su Yu really hated Dongfang Qing, her biological father, and Dongfang Qing did not like or expect the existence of a child like Su Yu, then she would still not say it.
But the opposite is true.
Although Su Yu had always obeyed his mother and concealed his identity, he was looking forward to his father in his heart.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly gone to the restaurant to meet Dongfang Qing.
She was all too familiar with the feeling of a child looking forward to their parents.
Su Yu is looking forward to his father, just like baby Prince and baby Yin Li are looking forward to their mother.
Besides, Dongfang Qing now has the ability to protect Su Yu, which she wanted to see.
Now tell Dongfang Qing that this is something she has thought about carefully.
Without Princess Mo Li, both Su Yu and Dongfang Qing will be alone for the rest of their lives, and sadness is inevitable.
The best outcome is that this father and son can stay with each other.
While Baili Feiyue was thinking, Dongfang Qing had already finished reading the letter that Su Yu wrote to Baili Feiyue. Su Yu's handwriting was taught by Princess Mo Li, and the shadow of Princess Mo Li's handwriting could be vaguely seen.
Dongfang Qing's hand holding the paper was so brittle that veins were visible. After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Where is he?"
"I asked Xiangyang to send him to Dajing to keep him company with the little prince and baby."
When Dongfang Qing almost wanted to stand up, he spoke first, "But I don't mind if you go find him yourself, brother."
She understood Su and the child. "I wrote him a letter and asked Xiangyang to send him to Xiyue. From what I know about him, he must be willing to come to you now, but he still needs a process of adapting and accepting. If you suddenly appear beside him, it will be too sudden for Su and the child. I'm afraid he will run away."
"Besides, Xiyue has just stabilized, and it is inevitable that many eyes are watching your movements. If you suddenly make such a big move, it will not be a good thing for Xiyue or Su Yu."
Dongfang Qing would naturally think of these principles.
There was a deep pain spreading in his lowered eyes.
Mo Li...she lied to him.
Did he make her hate him so much, so unhappy, that she didn't even tell him about the child she had...
He said awkwardly, "Have I seen him?"
Baili Feiyue nodded, "Yes, I have seen him."
The father and son met but did not recognize each other.
After a pause, Baili Feiyue asked Yan Su to go out first, leaving Dongfang Qing alone.
After Yan Su followed Baili Feiyue out, he knelt down and bowed deeply to Baili Feiyue.
"Thank you, Miss San!"
Baili Feiyue raised her eyebrows and said condescendingly, "Thank you for telling him about Su Yu's existence?" She smiled and looked at Yan Su with a meaningful look, "He is my brother, and Su Yu is my nephew. Of course I will think about them. You are really loyal. You came to thank me so sincerely on behalf of your master."
Yan Su kowtowed, "Please punish me, Miss Third!"
Baili Feiyue waved her hand nonchalantly, "What punishment? Punish you for always disappearing from my side without a sound when you get the chance, and then returning to your brother to do errands for him and be loyal to him?"
Yan Su didn't dare to raise his head.
"In your heart, your master is always my brother. I never thought you would stay by my side and be loyal to me forever. Get up."
Yan Su gritted his teeth and kowtowed again before standing up.
She stood with Baili Feiyue for a while, and finally said, "I have something I want to tell Miss Third."
Baili Feiyue was interested. What could Yan Su tell her at this time?
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Yan Su bit her lower lip and said carefully, "It's about the regent of Dajing, Changsun Wuji."
