Foxi didn't know how long she had slept. She vaguely felt someone beside her. She opened her eyes in a daze. Things gradually became clear. What she saw was a strange face. She was startled in her heart. It was a very weak voice.
"Who are you? Where is this?"
The maid saw that Foxi had woken up, smiled and turned to the maid behind her and said, "You're awake, go and inform the emperor."
Foxi frowned when she heard it and wanted to sit up.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help Foxi sit up, "Please go slowly..."
Foxi sat up and leaned against the back of the bed. Then she remembered that she had fallen off the cliff and hurriedly covered her stomach with her hands.
"Child, my child..."
The maid said respectfully, "The child is fine, you don't have to worry."
Foxi didn't answer, but took her pulse. After confirming that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and then turned around to look around.
This palace was magnificent, and all kinds of rare treasures were placed on the tables around it, which was very luxurious.
"Is this the palace of Nantong Kingdom?"
Foxi asked tentatively and uncertainly. Her heart was in her throat. If this was the palace of Nantong Kingdom, she would be in trouble.
The maid bowed and replied respectfully, "No, this is the palace of Lingxi Kingdom. I am here to serve you on the orders of the emperor."
Foxi was relieved when she heard this, as if it was not Nantong Kingdom. Then she frowned again, "Your Majesty? Could it be that the emperor of Lingxi Kingdom saved me?"
The maid bowed her head slightly and replied, "Your Majesty..."
"Are you awake?"
Before the maid finished her words, a deep, powerful and majestic male voice came into her ears.
The maids knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Fu Xi looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking in from the door. He was not wearing a dragon robe, but a black brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and black boots. He had a handsome face and was very heroic. His eyebrows revealed a domineering and pressure. He looked intimidating without being angry.
The maids in the palace saluted politely and retreated respectfully, closing the door.
The man walked forward and nodded slightly. Looking at Foxi's face, his voice softened. "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Foxi bit her lip lightly and smiled faintly, "Nothing. I heard from them that you saved me. Thank you very much."
Seeing that Foxi was so distant from him, the man frowned and then relaxed his brows. He said frankly, "It wasn't me who saved you. When I passed the bottom of the cliff, you were already lying on the flat path."
Foxi was very surprised to hear this. Her eyes were full of doubts, and her eyebrows were tightened.
She fell from such a high cliff. If she didn't die, she would have peeled off a layer of skin. How could she be lying on the flat path intact?
Who saved her?
By the way, Bei Mingchen, he seemed to have jumped down too.
Thinking about it, she said, "Thank you for rescuing me. Otherwise, I might have been frozen to death or eaten by wild animals in the wilderness."
The man laughed when he heard this.
Foxi swallowed and asked tentatively, "When you rescued me, was there anyone else by my side?"
The man smiled faintly and said, "No, I asked my subordinates to look for you, and you were the only one around, so I brought you back."
Hearing him say this, Foxi relaxed her vigilance a little. Where did Bei Mingchen go? The more Foxi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She
threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed. "Thank you for your help. I will definitely repay you, but I have something else to do now, so I'll leave first." The man watched Foxi get out of bed and put on her shoes, and slowly said, " You are weak now, so you should rest in bed." Foxi smiled politely, "Thank you..." Seeing that Foxi did not stop, the man walked over and sat down, then took the tea. "With your own strength, I'm afraid that Nanyin will be captured before you find Beimingchen." Hearing this, Foxi's movements suddenly stopped, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She looked up at the man. He actually knew her identity, so was he an enemy or a friend? Seeing this , the man smiled heartily. Not bad, he still had the demeanor of his past. He casually put down the teacup in his hand and pointed to the place beside him. "Don't be so angry at your young age. Come and sit down. Don't forget that you are pregnant." Speaking of this, the man was a little angry. He just found out that he had a daughter, and before they even met, he was told that she was married and had a child. Bei Mingchen was the same. Before everything was resolved, he couldn't control himself and let Xier get pregnant. He didn't take good care of her when she was pregnant, and even let her fall from such a high cliff. Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty. He couldn't escape the responsibility of Xier falling off the cliff. Foxi looked at the man. She didn't know if it was her illusion. She felt that the man looked at her with a special... loving look? And a little guilty? Seeing that Foxi didn't move, the man said patiently, "Bei Mingchen will be fine. Don't you believe in your husband's strength?" Foxi was suddenly enlightened by these words. Bei Mingchen was so strong, he would be fine. The man smiled and said, "Come and sit down. I sent many people to look for him." Foxi raised her eyes, "Why do you want to help us?" The man smiled, "Little girl, I am the emperor of Lingxi Kingdom. My name is Yan Yin (Yin)." "Yanyin?" Foxi exclaimed and looked up and down at Yan Yin. Hearing Yan Yin's name, Yan Yin's eyes flashed, and his eyes were full of loneliness. There was no Yan Yin in this world anymore. Yan Yin was killed by Xier. He calmed down and looked up at Foxi, "Yanyin is the child I picked up. My name is Yan Yin." Yan Yin saw that Foxi still didn't understand, so he stood up and walked towards the table. Foxi was very surprised when she heard it, her eyes followed Yan Yin, "Is the Yan Yin you are talking about the national teacher of Nantong Kingdom?" Yan Yin nodded lightly, "Yes, it's the Yan Yin who was killed by you." Foxi pondered for a moment, stepped forward, "Isn't she the national teacher of Nantong Kingdom? How did you pick her up?" Yan Yin stood in front of the table, picked up the brush and put it on the rice paper, and said at the same time: "She and Nanyin have been friends since childhood. When she was still a little kid, she went to the attic with Nanyin. After Nanyin ascended the throne, he made her the national teacher." After he finished speaking, he put down the brush, picked up the rice paper and handed it to Foxi.
Foxi took the rice paper, and when she saw the words "Yan Yin" written on it, her pupils shrank severely. She
was dumbfounded and said, "Your name is Yan Yin?"
Yan Yin was a little stunned when he saw Foxi's expression, "Yes..."
Foxi looked at Yan Yin for a while, then lowered her head to look at the two big characters on the rice paper, and she didn't know what she felt in her heart.
These two characters, no, this name, she was too familiar with them. When she started to recognize words, the first two characters she knew were these two characters. Her mother said: This is her father's name.
Yan Yin lowered his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that Xier knew that he and Nanyin teamed up to kill her?
He didn't know that Foxi was his daughter at first. He just wanted to avenge Yanyin. Even if Yanyin seemed to have changed into a different person later, even if she and Nanyin did a lot of evil, Yanyin was picked up and raised by him after all.
But fortunately, fortunately at the critical moment, he knew that Foxi was his daughter.
Yan Yin sat down, looked at Foxi who lowered her eyes and said tentatively: "Have you ever thought about finding out your own life experience?"
Foxi put down the rice paper in her hand, put her hands on the table, raised her eyes and looked at Yan Yin.
She spoke every word with force: "My name is Yan Xi."
Yan Yin stood up in panic, his eyes full of astonishment.
"Yan Xi? Isn't your name Foxi?"
Foxi did not miss the panic on Yan Yin's face, and her heart sank.
"My name is Yanxi, and I'm also called Foxi.
" Yan Yin frowned, "Who gave you the name Yanxi?"
Foxi asked back, "Do you think so?"
Yan Yin covered his eyes. Nanyin was cruel and ruthless. She didn't tell him that she got pregnant after climbing into bed, but secretly gave birth to Xier and quietly sent Xier away. How could she give Xier such a meaningful name?
Could it be Yanyin who gave it to her?
Foxi's mind was in a mess, and she was sorting out the mess in her heart.
Her mother said that she was an orphan, and she was picked up and raised by her father when she was a baby. Her father named her Yanxi, but she refused because she wanted to have the same name as her father, so she named herself Yanyin. Thinking about this, she
closed her eyes, but she was a time traveler in a book. The place where she lived before was the modern era, and this place was the ancient era. From being picked up to being adopted, and then to the name... Could it be that her mother was a time traveler as well? Did her mother travel to the modern era? Or did the Yan Yin in front of her just have the same name as her father? Oh my God, it was simply burning my brain cells! She opened her eyes and looked around. Could it be that she had a mental problem? Was everything here just her imagination? There was silence in the hall for a while, and the father and daughter looked at each other, one with a puzzled look, and the other with a terrified look. The atmosphere between the two of them became awkward for a while. "Uh..." Yan Yin coughed lightly and took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Let's eat first?" Fo Xi just nodded her head lightly. Whether this Yan Yin was her father or not, she still had to find more evidence. The maids gently placed the food on the dining table and then quickly left. In the huge hall, only the unfamiliar father and daughter who had not yet recognized each other were left. "Eat." Yan Yin picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Foxi, "Try it and see if it suits your taste?" Foxi lowered her eyes and looked at the dish, frowning slightly, "Thank you..." Although she said so, she did not touch the vegetables that Yan Yin picked up, and picked up other dishes to eat. Looking at Foxi's reaction, Yan Yin felt a little disappointed and sighed. It was all his fault. He blamed himself for not discovering Yan Xi's daughter earlier. Wandering around! Xiaoxi must have suffered a lot, and it was natural that she was a stranger to him now. "Xiaoxi, do you want to find your parents?" Yan Yin asked cautiously in a soft voice, his tone full of expectation. The word "Xiaoxi" made Foxi a little dazed. After a slight hesitation, he said with a half chuckle: "More than ten years have passed, how can we still find them?" Yan Yin hesitated. If he told the truth directly, would it scare Xiaoxi? "Xiaoxi, I..." "You what?" Foxi held the chopsticks tightly, her eyes fixed on Yan Yin, not missing any emotion on his face. Yan Yin put one hand on Foxi's shoulder and looked at Foxi with loving eyes. This face was too similar to Nanyin, and her eyebrows and eyes were like him. When he saw her for the first time, he was sure that this was his daughter. Foxi glanced sideways at the hand on her shoulder and wanted to reach out to knock it away. As soon as the idea came out, she suppressed it before she took any action. Yan Yin opened his mouth and was about to speak when the door of the palace was kicked open with a "bang". The two people in the palace were startled and looked at the door in unison. Bei Mingchen stood at the door of the palace with a sword in his hand, full of anxiety. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Foxi was safe, and then he saw Yan Yin's hand on Foxi's shoulder. He was instantly furious, and his eyes almost spewed sparks. He strode into the palace, knocked the hand off Foxi's shoulder, and then protected Foxi in his arms. The guards outside the palace knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive us. His Royal Highness Prince Chen insisted on breaking into the palace, and your subordinates were unable to stop him." Foxi only came back to her senses from the shock now, and hurriedly stood up and hugged Bei Mingchen tightly, burying her face in his chest, feeling his body temperature. "Bei Mingchen, I'm so glad you're okay." Yan Yin silently withdrew his hand and looked at the couple stuck together. Bei Mingchen threw down the sword in his hand, stroked Foxi's head, and said in a very gentle voice: "Xi'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Foxi nodded, got up from Bei Mingchen's arms, and saw Yan Yin looking at them, feeling a little embarrassed. He coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "Ahem, that... it was the emperor of Lingxi who saved me." Bei Mingchen glanced at Yan Yin, he knew, that's why he didn't kill Yan Yin's hand just now. He ordered people to look for Xi'er for a long time but couldn't find her. He thought Xi'er was captured by Nanyin and was about to attack Nantong Kingdom. Someone came to tell him that Princess Chen was in Lingxi Kingdom at the moment, so he hurried over. "Thank you, Emperor Ling, for your help. I will definitely repay this kindness, but I hope that Emperor Ling will not do anything out of line again, otherwise..." Facing Bei Mingchen's threat, Yan Yin did not get angry but smiled instead, "Your Highness, Prince Chen, don't worry." After hearing this, Bei Mingchen did not reply. He took Foxi's hand and walked out of the palace.
"Wait." Yan Yin spoke hurriedly.
Bei Mingchen narrowed
his eyes slightly, "What else does the Emperor Ling want to say?" Yan Yin glanced at him and said lightly, "Prince Chen and Princess Chen are passing through Lingxi Country, how can we let you leave like this?"
Seeing Bei Mingchen's vigilant look, Yan Yin smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Chen. I heard that the second prince of Baiqing Country is also here. His mother is the princess of my Lingxi Country, and I like that kid very much."
At this point, Bei Mingchen understood what Yan Yin meant.
"Of course, I will tell Jian Chao when I go back, but we still have important things to do. It's better to discuss such trivial matters as drinking and chatting when we are free. Goodbye."
After speaking, Bei Mingchen led Foxi out without hesitation, but Yan Yin's voice reached his ears again.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, please stay. Do you want to find out the truth about your father's death? I know some secrets, and maybe I can help Your Highness Prince Chen find out the truth as soon as possible."
Bei Mingchen stopped and smiled, "I have already found out the truth about my father's death. What I want to find out now is Jian Yan. I wonder if Emperor Ling knows any secrets about Jian Yan?"
Yan Yin took a sip of tea from the teacup, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly, "What a coincidence, I do know some secrets."
Yan Yin asked Bei Mingchen and Foxi to sit down, and waved his hand to let all the guards outside the hall retreat.
For a moment, there were only three of them in the hall.
Foxi tugged at Beimingchen and whispered, "Beimingchen..."
Beimingchen nodded slightly at Foxi, took Foxi's hand and walked over to sit opposite Yan Yin, then put his arms around Foxi's waist and held Foxi tightly in his arms.
Yan Yin glanced at Beimingchen, his eyes shifted to Foxi's waist, looking at that hand, Yan Yin angrily picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, not angry.
Bah, how can I not be angry?
Such a good, such a beautiful cabbage, was actually taken away by Beimingchen, this pig.
He forced himself to be calm, put down the teacup with a smile, pretending to be leisurely, but actually very angry.
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is much older than Princess Chen?"
