Suddenly, a woman's anxious voice came from the cave entrance.
Yan Chengji’s body stiffened.
"Master, are you in there?"
Following a rough male voice, the branches at the entrance of the cave were pushed aside and a group of people walked in.
The leader was Wang Yi, followed by six tall men, with Long Er in the front.
"exist."
Yancheng Ji replied, "I'm here."
Long Er ran over like the wind, circled around Yan Chengji several times, and his voice trembled.
"Madam, the master is inside. The master is fine."
Wang Yi walked in quickly, removing the veil from her face, revealing a face full of pimples, looking very scary.
But it was also because of this that Wang Yi dared to lift her veil and walk out into the public.
After all, the extremely beautiful Crown Princess was disfigured into this state. Even if the Crown Prince were still alive, he would not recognize her if they met her face to face.
"Are you really okay? Are you not hurt anywhere?"
As soon as Wang Yi walked in, he hugged Yan Chengji and read it inside and out.
The prince's mansion was gone, her husband was dead, her appearance was ruined, and she only had this son left.
If anything happened to Ji'er, she would not live anymore.
Ever since entering Mujiabao and several children were taken away by the officials, Wang Yi was going crazy.
She regretted very much that she should not have hidden it from her son.
Han Shizhong brought his son to seek refuge with Su Zhenbei. She made a deal with her grandfather, who arranged this drama of child exchange.
But she never recognized her son.
She felt that as a palace maid, staying in the Wang family and silently guarding her son was actually good for her son and would be more conducive to protecting her son.
Unexpectedly, when Long Yi left, Long Er, who was so stupid, had been secretly protecting his son. He was caught in this Mujiabao, drugged, and even sent to the iron mine.
Fortunately, he is the most powerful dragon guard after all.
He quickly found a way to remove the drug and came back to save them.
With her around, the Wang family didn't get drugged. But there were only a bunch of old, weak, women and children, and with so much fighting going on outside, there was no way they could go out and save their son.
Until Long Er came over, she asked Long Er to contact the four secret guards she left outside, and the group of six finally found this cave.
Thank God, my son is fine.
Holding her son, Wang Yi cried and laughed at the same time.
Yan Chengji stood stiffly at first.
Feeling the body temperature of the ugly woman holding him.
So familiar, so warm.
Mother,
Mother is not dead? Yan Chengji thought again, Su's little sister said just now that it was his mother and his grandfather's family who reached an agreement, the Yan family would be the emperor in the court, and the Wang family would have a queen in the inner palace.
That sentence implies that the mother is still alive.
But when he heard it, he didn't think too much about it.
Now, he saw this woman hugging him and crying, with her face full of burn scars.
What else doesn't he understand?
"The child has seen his mother."
Yan Chengji's voice was calm, without any excitement on his face.
"My son—I hope he's not hurt."
Wang Yi's wildly beating heart suddenly cooled down when he met his son's cold gaze.
Is his son blaming him?
"My son, in that situation, I——"
Wang Yi couldn't continue.
How would she explain this to her son?
The fire broke out in the East Palace, and her husband walked towards the sea of fire. At first, her husband wanted her to leave as well, to accompany her son, but she shook her head and refused. She watched her son being taken away, and walked towards the sea of fire step by step. She clearly saw the fear and despair in her son's eyes.
She changed her name to Wang Yi, and after watching her son lose his parents, she became sensitive and broken, suffering from nightmares every night.
She stood outside her son's tent, listening to his talking in his sleep.
She secretly sat beside her son at night, watching him struggling in his sleep.
But she didn't recognize him.
"You look like my mother."
She just gave her son a cold look.
"I am Wang Yi, a lady-in-waiting in the palace. If I remember correctly, your name is Wang Mengjing. Your mother is a concubine, right?"
At that moment, she clearly saw the sadness in her son's eyes, which gradually turned into ice.
"Mother, please calm down. My name is Wang Mengjing, a bastard born to a concubine."
Yan Chengji, a four-year-old child, said this with a cold, resolute expression.
"lady--"
Ryuji shouted from the side.
Wang Yi was suddenly brought back to reality by the word "Madam".
Originally, Long Yi and Long Er called her the Crown Princess, but in order to avoid being recognized, she asked the secret guards and dragon guards to call her Madam and her son Young Master.
My son is still young, and although this place is hundreds of miles away from the capital, there are still spies from the emperor and Gu Tai.
She still couldn't take it lightly.
Everything she does now is to protect her son.
"Are you my aunt?"
Although the Wang family children are young, they live with their youngest brother, Wang Mengjing, so naturally they would not mistake him for someone else.
So, when Yancheng Ji Yi and Wang Mengjing swapped places, the first people they discovered were the Wang family's children.
The children are young and the matter is serious, so the Wang family naturally would not tell them the truth.
The children didn't understand why their little brother disappeared and their cousin Yan Chengji was renamed Wang Mengjing. But everyone in the family warned them not to talk nonsense.
No matter who asks, they will insist that this is their younger brother Wang Mengjing.
Now, when they saw a scarred woman holding Wang Mengjing and calling him her son, the older children immediately knew that the person in front of them was their aunt.
Their aunt is the Crown Princess, the most beautiful woman in the world.
How could she become an ugly woman with scars on her face?
And she was the vicious palace maid beside Aunt Yanyu.
Aunt Yanyu hates this palace maid the most.
The children did not understand what was happening before them.
"Okay, kids, let's get out of here."
Wang Yi signaled the secret guards to take the child away.
She walked up to Xia Ping'er and looked at her coldly. If you ignore the scars on her face, you can see that she exudes the aura of a Crown Princess.
"You are the concubine of the third room of the Su family, right?"
Xia Ping'er: [Listen, what are you talking about? You are the Crown Princess, so what? Your face is burnt like this, and you still dare to criticize my background.]
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare say it out loud.
"I am from General Su Si's family. This is my daughter Su Qiaoqiao. Just now, my Qiaoqiao saved Liu Guanchai from..."
Xia Ping'er was smart. At this moment, she knew that she couldn't call him the Crown Prince of Yancheng, but it wouldn't be appropriate to call him anything else either. So she simply stopped talking halfway.
We are all smart people.
Wang Yi looked back at his son and immediately realized that the woman was telling the truth.
Since this woman's daughter just saved Ji'er's life, she had to express her gratitude.
"Since the two children are destined to be together, they should play together more often in the future."
Xia Ping'er was delighted.
Well, the future Queen Mother has spoken. This statement couldn't be clearer. If the Crown Prince can really become the Emperor in the future, it is a foregone conclusion that her daughter Qiao Qiao will enter the palace as a concubine.
"The children born to the two concubines are indeed a good match for each other when they play together."
Yan Chengji's face turned stern and he snorted coldly without even looking at Xia Ping'er and Su Qiaoqiao.
With his short legs, he walked straight past Wang Yi and headed towards the cave entrance.
He didn't even look at Wang Yi's expression which changed again and again.
"Ryuji, let's go."
"Here I come, Master."
Long Er is a simple-minded guy who follows his master immediately when he is called.
He had made a big mistake today, and almost let his master be harmed by the bad guys. When Long Yi comes back, he will definitely not let him off.
Long Er swore that from now on, he would follow his master closely.
