Bei Mingchen was relieved after hearing this, while Foxi was greatly surprised.

【Oh my god. 】

【What kind of family is this? 】

Bei Mingchen looked relieved, "Grandson wants to know what happened back then?" The

Queen Mother closed her eyes, "Do you have the key I gave you with you?"

Foxi looked at Bei Mingchen and widened her eyes.

【Key, where did you throw the key? 】

Bei Mingchen signaled Foxi not to worry, "Grandson didn't have it with him today."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes, "I wrote down what happened back then and put it in a secret compartment. The key can open the secret compartment. There is also the secret of An Junguo in the secret compartment."

Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand, and the two did not react at all, listening quietly.

The Queen Mother covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then said very sadly: "When I was pregnant, the late emperor was very happy. He first issued a general amnesty, and then dismissed all the concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. During that time, I was really happy."

When the Queen Mother said this, her face was full of happiness, and her eyes were full of love. It can be seen that she was really happy and really loved the late emperor. The Queen Mother

chuckled twice and recalled the happy times she and the late emperor had for a while, but when she thought of what happened later, her expression changed rapidly.

Fo Xi was also happy at first, but when she saw the Queen Mother's face change, she knew that something bad happened later.

"The late emperor and I were careless for a moment and did not realize that I was drugged. When the birth came, only one of the twins in my belly would survive." Foxi

's hands unconsciously clasped together. Bei Mingchen felt it and gently comforted Foxi. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future. He must protect Xier and the children. The queen mother

showed regret in her eyes, "I was at a loss for a moment. After discussing with the late emperor, I adopted a child from outside the palace. But as the children grew up, the personalities and looks of the two children were very different."

"After they became adults, I discussed with the late emperor and asked him to take them to the dragon vein of Anjun Kingdom."

At this point, the queen mother looked at Foxi with regret, and then shifted her gaze to her belly.

Foxi was slightly surprised and frowned.

Bei Mingchen followed the Queen Mother's line of sight and looked at Foxi, then looked back again, not understanding why: "Grandmother?" The Queen Mother

retracted her gaze and sighed heavily.

"When the twins of the royal family of Anjun Kingdom grow up, they must enter the Dragon Vein Land of Anjun Kingdom. I don't know what is in the Dragon Vein Land, but I only know that after leaving the Dragon Vein Land, one of the children will die soon."

She looked at Foxi, whose face had become embarrassed. They were both mothers, so she could understand Foxi's feelings.

"After the child died, Anjun Kingdom had good weather and peace for three years, and the surviving child lived longer than ordinary people."

The more Foxi listened, the uglier her face became. When she heard the following words, she was shocked.

[Sacrifice?]

This was what Foxi could think of, and then she put her hand on her belly.

After hearing this, Bei Mingchen narrowed his eyes, and when he saw Foxi's actions, he felt a little uncomfortable and went out to ask, "How could this be?" The empress dowager

shook her head lightly, "I don't know, these secrets will only be told to the next emperor when the previous emperor dies."

As she spoke, the empress dowager shed tears, "But when the late emperor died, he only had the current emperor by his side, but he is not of Bei Ming blood. The late emperor had no choice but to tell me this secret and asked me to wait for Yu'er (Bei Mingchen's father) to come back before telling him."

"Who would have thought that this secret would be heard by the current emperor, and he rushed in to question. The late emperor was not in good health to begin with, and he died at that time after being disturbed by him." Hearing this

, Bei Mingchen's anger worsened. It was like this. No wonder, no wonder the Empress Dowager has always disliked the emperor.

At this moment, the empress dowager was almost in tears, "The late emperor passed away, but I cannot fall down. I have to wait for Yu'er to come back, and wait for his child to be born. I was afraid that someone would do something to me again, so I brought Miao'er (Bei Mingchen's mother) to the palace to nurture the fetus."

"A country cannot be without a monarch for a day. Before Yu'er comes back, someone has to take care of the affairs of the Anzheng Kingdom. Many ministers have asked Bei Mingyuan (the current emperor), who is still a prince, to take care of the affairs of the country."

Bei Mingchen noticed the empress dowager's mood, gently let go of Foxi's hand and walked to the bed, "Grandmother, lie down and rest."

The empress dowager covered her tears with a handkerchief, shook her head and said, "Chen'er has been asking about your parents, and you have been avoiding them. Today, I will tell you everything."

Seeing that the empress dowager had made up her mind, Bei Mingchen could only nod and agree, and retreated again.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "I remember when Miao'er was about to give birth, Yu'er still hadn't come back. I sent many people, wrote many letters, and asked the current emperor to write many reports, but there was no response."

"The night Miao'er gave birth, the palace was in chaos. My bedroom and the late emperor's bedroom caught fire. After I was rescued, those people told me that Princess Yu died after giving birth to a little prince."

Upon hearing this, Foxi hurriedly held Bei Mingchen's hands. She felt that Bei Mingchen was tense and very forbearing.

Bei Mingchen raised his head and chuckled, indicating to Foxi that he was fine. The Queen Mother

calmed down. At this point, she was numb.

"I kept the child by my side and waited with him for his father to return, but what I waited for was the news that his father died in battle. Within a few days, the Empress Dowager also passed away."

"Overnight, the political situation was in turmoil, and earth-shaking changes took place inside and outside the palace."

"There were also rumors that the child was an ominous thing, so I named the child Chen, which means a symbol of auspiciousness and that he would become the emperor in the future." The Empress Dowager

finished her story, and the bedroom was dead silent. The three people covered their eyes, and none of them knew what they were thinking.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager seemed to be relieved and smiled softly.

Bei Mingchen and Foxi were attracted by the Empress Dowager's soft laughter and looked over.

The Queen Mother coughed twice, "Chen'er, take Foxi back. I'm tired."

Bei Mingchen's lips moved, but the words were stuck in his throat. He didn't know what to say.

Foxi's face was very calm, but the determination in her eyes was clear.

[No matter what, I will not let my child go to sacrifice. ]

[If a sacrifice is necessary, then let the Anzheng Kingdom perish. ]

Bei Mingchen looked at Foxi, put one hand on Foxi's hand, smiled and nodded lightly, indicating that she should rest assured that he would never allow such a thing to happen.

"I hope the Royal Grandmother will take good care of herself. Your grandson will come to pay his respects to the Royal Grandmother another day."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and waved her hand.

Bei Mingchen led Foxi out of the bedroom, and when there was no one around, "Don't think too much, they are my children, how can I bear to let them die."

Foxi came back to her senses, "I know this."

Bei Mingchen was stunned, "Then what are you thinking about?"

Foxi said thoughtfully: "I feel that the Dragon Vein Land of the Anzheng Kingdom is very strange."

[Are there a group of black magic fairies living in it? 】

【This land will all belong to me, the Dark God of Gunara, hahahaha...】

Although Bei Mingchen didn't understand what Foxi meant, but after hearing that devilish laughter, he knew that the Dark God of Gunara was an evil person.

The two walked to the gate of the palace, and saw Yan Yin surrounded by a group of people and sitting in a carriage from a distance.

Yan Yin glanced at the two people walking not far away, and her voice became a little anxious: "Let's go..."

After saying that, she was about to lower her head and walk into the carriage.

Bei Mingchen and Foxi looked at each other, and Foxi held back her laughter, "I guess you will be Yanyin's nightmare in the future."

The general who escorted Yanyin was about to get on his horse, but when he heard the word Yanyin, he turned his head and looked. He only took a glance, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Why does this woman look so much like the queen?

Then he turned his attention to Bei Mingchen, and his anger immediately burned up. How dare Bei Mingchen treat the national teacher of Nantong Kingdom like that?

He clenched his fists, and exuded murderous aura, as if he wanted to rush to Bei Mingchen and tear him into pieces right now.

Bei Mingchen was not willing to be outdone, and exuded a cold chill, and his eyes were full of warnings and threats when he looked at the general.

Foxi also looked over provocatively.

"How dare you! This is His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to salute."

Lingxiao's arrogant and fierce voice came out.

Yanyin was startled when she heard the voice, and when she opened the curtain, she felt two sharp and angry eyes.

When she looked up, she met Bei Mingchen's cold eyes. She quickly shifted her gaze to the general, and saw that he looked at Foxi with a strange look in his eyes. She was startled and said quickly: "You are too serious, don't be rude."

The general who was called Yan Zhong knelt down reluctantly and said, "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

Bei Mingchen snorted coldly and ignored him, picked up Foxi and got into the carriage.

After the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion drove away, Yan Zhong slowly stood up, walked to the side of the carriage and whispered: "Master Imperial Master, do you think that this Princess Chen looks a lot like His Majesty?"

Yan Yin's face changed and her body became a little stiff when she heard it, "I don't think so." She sat in the carriage and said in an emotionless voice: "Let's go..." Yan Zhong

responded and looked at the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion. Yan Yin said that it didn't look like her, so it must be his illusion. He retracted his gaze and got on the horse.

In the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion, Fo Xi thought for a while, "Do you think that's serious? The way she looked at me was weird?"

Serious?

Bei Mingchen was confused, "Are you saying it's a serious statement?"

Foxi nodded, "Yes, it is serious. He just looked at me as if he was looking at someone familiar, and there was some surprise in his eyes."

Bei Mingchen didn't correct her, and let Xier call her whatever she wanted, "In that case, Foxi's life experience may be related to the Kingdom of Nantong."

Foxi became interested and smiled with squinted eyes, "Do you think I am a little princess?"

Bei Mingchen looked at Foxi, who was full of excitement, chuckled, and tapped Foxi on the forehead.

"Isn't the identity of Princess Chen more arrogant than that of the little princess?"

"Indeed, but if I had the dual identities of little princess and Princess Chen, I could walk around the world with my head held high."

Bei Mingchen hugged Foxi into his arms, rested his head on Foxi's shoulder, tilted his head and whispered, "You can walk around with your head held high now."

Foxi felt the heat in her ears, coupled with Bei Mingchen's numbing voice, her body shuddered.

She tilted her head a little, "Bei Mingchen, you have to control yourself."

Bei Mingchen pulled Foxi back, grabbed a strand of Foxi's hair and played with it, saying aggrievedly, "I know, but there is still more than a month before the first three months." Foxi

knew from Bei Mingchen's tone that he was pretending to be aggrieved, and couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Don't come on, I won't fall for it now."

Bei Mingchen smiled heartily, stroking Foxi's tender and smooth cheeks, "Xi'er, don't worry."

Back at Prince Chen's Mansion, Foxi walked into the courtyard, and Bei Mingchen followed closely behind, "Xi'er, slow down, you have to keep a distance from those pets."

Foxi really slowed down after hearing this, and stood at the gate of the courtyard and scanned the pets.

"Which two pets are following Yanyin?"

"Zhizhi... It's the two of us." The two mice ran forward two steps.

Fo Xi nodded and continued, "Did you hear anything?"

"Squeak... That woman is like a mute. Apart from writing, she just sits there in a daze and talks a lot of irrelevant nonsense."

Fo Xi felt a little sorry and looked at Bei Mingchen, "Can we find someone to teach them to read?"

Bei Mingchen raised his eyes, "I think this is a thankless task. Not only will there be no results, but people may also misunderstand me as being sick."

Fo Xi pursed her lips, waved her hand to signal the two mice to retreat, then stretched her neck and glanced at the bird cage.

"Has the little bird that monitors Bei Minghuai come back?"

As soon as the words fell, a bird flew over from the roof, "Chirp... it's back, it's back."

"Tell me what you heard?" "

Chirp... Bei Minghuai hasn't consummated his marriage with his two women yet, but those two women think that Bei Minghuai stays in their bedrooms every night, so they are jealous openly or secretly and scramble to torment Bei Minghuai."

As Foxi listened, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Bei Mingchen: "What did it say?"

Foxi looked over, "Hehe, what's wrong with you ancient people? You didn't consummate your marriage on your wedding night. Don't you know that a night of love is worth a thousand gold?"

Bei Mingchen's face darkened, and he gently picked up Foxi and walked out of the villa, saying in a very small voice: "If it was you on the wedding day, I think I would know what a night of love is worth a thousand gold."

Foxi climbed her hands around his neck and put her cheek on his chest.

Bei Mingchen chuckled, he liked the way Foxi relied on him wholeheartedly.

Back in the room, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.

The winter night came early and brought a biting cold. Foxi woke up from her sleepiness, raised her eyes and saw Bei Mingchen's sleeping face, and her heart was warm.

Bei Mingchen opened his sleepy eyes and saw Foxi staring at his face. He stretched out his hand and pinched Foxi's nose, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Foxi blinked her eyes very cutely, "I'm not hungry, I'm not awake yet."

Bei Mingchen held Foxi in his arms, "Then continue to sleep."

After an unknown amount of time, Bei Mingchen noticed that there were many people outside Chenxi's courtyard, and there were people at the door of the inner room.

Looking at Foxi who was sleeping soundly in his arms, he gently pulled out his arm, covered Foxi with a quilt, got out of bed carefully and walked out of the room.

Congxin knelt on the ground immediately when he saw Bei Mingchen coming out, and said anxiously: "My lord, someone from the palace said that the Queen Mother is dying."
