Hearing this, Foxi was not very happy, but thinking that he might be her father, she did not directly retort, but took Bei Mingchen's arm, smiling, and with a coquettish tone.
"I like Bei Mingchen, and I only like Bei Mingchen. I like him no matter how old he is."
Bei Mingchen turned his head to look at Foxi, smiled and rubbed Foxi's hair, and said in a gentle and delicate voice: "When you are older, you can take better care of her." Seeing
the two of them so loving, Yan Yin's heart was touched, thinking that he was much older than Yan Yin, if Yan Yin had not been in cahoots with Nan Yin, then...
Thinking of this, Yan Yin laughed at himself, saying these now, it was too late.
She sighed and looked at Bei Mingchen, only to see that his eyes were as gentle as water, full of warmth and doting, and that doting look on his face was definitely not fake.
Yan Yin was very pleased with Bei Mingchen's behavior. Bei Mingchen doted on Xiaoxi so much, Xiaoxi must be very happy.
But the royal family of Anjun Kingdom has changed drastically, and Bei Mingchen might be like the current emperor of Anjun Kingdom, with many wives and concubines.
"I wonder if Your Highness Prince Chen can believe in being with one person for the rest of his life?"
"Of course."
Bei Mingchen blurted out without thinking.
Yan Yin felt refreshed, this was great.
Foxi looked Yan Yin up and down, and Yan Yin's behavior just now made her a little confused.
[Does Yan Yin also suspect that I am his daughter? 】
Bei Mingchen heard the inner voice and his eyes widened, with shock flashing in his eyes.
Privately, Foxi's hand moved.
【Bei Mingchen, do you think I look like this man? 】
Bei Mingchen picked up the teacup in front of him without changing his expression, and glanced at Yan Yin lightly.
Just one glance, and his eyes darkened. Yan Yin and Xier looked somewhat similar.
Foxi saw Bei Mingchen's expression clearly.
【Mom told me that my father's name is Yan Yin. 】
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand tightly, his thumb unconsciously stroking the back of Foxi's hand, lowering his eyes to think.
Yan Yin;
the current emperor of Lingxi Kingdom, he has many concubines in the harem, but no offspring. It is said that Yan Yin was drugged and forced by Nanyin, so he hates women very much.
Thinking of this, Bei Mingchen was startled and looked at Foxi in astonishment. Could it be that Foxi was Nanyin's daughter?
Foxi didn't know what Bei Mingchen was thinking of. Seeing his look of seeing a ghost, she was very confused.
[What's wrong? Did you think of something?]
Bei Mingchen smiled at Foxi, signaling Foxi not to think too much and to talk about it after returning.
[Okay. Bei Mingchen turned to look at Yan Yin ,
his expression changed at this moment, he said with a stern face: "Regarding Jian Yan's secret, I hope the Emperor Ling can tell me."
Yan Yin took it seriously after hearing it, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "That was more than 20 years ago. At that time, Nan Yin was just an unpopular princess, and Yan Yin stayed behind Nan Yin all day long. The two of them were inseparable."
"I heard some rumors that Yan Yin and Nan Yin did all kinds of bad things together. I didn't believe it, so I secretly went to Nantong Kingdom to check."
"After arriving at Nantong Kingdom, I didn't find Yan Yin. I happened to see that the area outside Nanyin's palace was full of people, and those people were very vigilant. I felt something was wrong, so I jumped onto the roof to check."
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Bei Mingchen. His eyes were much dim, and there was some guilt in them. His voice was not as loud as before, and it added some loneliness and melancholy.
"I lifted the tiles and saw three women in the room, Yan Yin, Nan Yin, and Jian Yan. Jian Yan was holding a baby in her arms. I heard them say..."
(The following describes what happened in the room from a God's perspective.)
Jian Yan took off her cloak and threw the baby in her arms on the table. The child cried heartbreakingly, perhaps because he was frightened or hungry.
Nan Yin and Yan Yin's eyes were full of disgust. Yan Yin took out a porcelain bottle and roughly pulled open the blanket wrapped around the child.
The child was shaken a few times, and was so scared that he raised his hands in the air and scratched them randomly. His crying became even more heartbreaking, and Yan Yin was very sad to hear it.
Yan Yin looked at the crying child with vicious eyes, stretched out her hand and pinched the child's chin fiercely, her nails digging into the child's flesh.
The child was so small, and when facing a huge beast, he could only be slaughtered.
After a while, the child's voice became hoarse, and his hands were scratching in fear.
The miserable condition of the child did not make Yan Yin have the slightest sympathy. She poured a pill from the porcelain bottle and forced it into the child's mouth. In just a moment, the child stopped crying and fell asleep.
Yan Yin let go of her hand, threw the blanket away in disgust, took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped her hands.
Jian Yan saw the flash of eyes, but she did not stop it. Instead, she turned to look at Nan Yin, her voice trembling.
"This is the child of Jian Miao and Bei Mingyu."
Nan Yin glanced at Jian Yan, and said in a calm but creepy voice: "Shouldn't they be twins? Why only one was brought out?"
Jian Yan trembled a little, and forced herself to calm down. "Jian Miao was taken to the palace by the Queen Mother. The palace was heavily guarded, and Bei Mingyuan also wanted the twins, so he had been guarding outside the palace, but the second child was late. I had no choice but to bring him out first."
Nan Yin was furious when she heard this, raised her hand and threw a hidden weapon at Jian Yan, and cursed: "Idiot..."
Seeing Nan Yin angry, Yan Yin and Jian Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Nan Yin stood up and walked to the table, uncovered the quilt and looked at the child who had fallen asleep, with vicious eyes.
"Give me the dagger."
Yan Yin immediately took out the dagger and handed it over.
Nan Yin reached out to take it, grabbed the child's arm and was about to cut it off.
At the critical moment, Yan Yin
, who was hiding on the roof and peeking, took action. He threw a hidden weapon to knock the dagger out of Nan Yin's hand, then jumped off the roof and broke into the window, flashed forward and protected the sleeping child behind himself, looked at Nan Yin and Yan Yin coldly, and said in an extremely cold voice.
"Princess Nan Yin, why is she so cruel? Even if she has a huge grudge, she shouldn't take it out on a newborn child."
When Yan Yin saw Yan Yin, she was a little surprised as to why he was here. "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Yan Yin looked at Yan Yin with extreme disappointment. He really couldn't imagine that Yan Yin would do such a vicious thing.
Looking at Yan Yin who suddenly appeared, Nan Yin didn't show any fear. She shouted angrily, "Someone come..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and countless secret guards rushed in.
Yan Yin wrapped the child and held him carefully in his arms. He turned around and looked at the secret guards coldly, with a sense of majesty without anger.
"I am the current prince of Lingxi Kingdom. Who dares to hurt me? Are you tired of living?"
As soon as these words came out, the secret guards didn't move their feet, but leaned back.
Nan Yin didn't take it seriously. What Lingxi Kingdom's prince, if he dared to ruin her business, he would only have a dead end. In a stern
voice, he said, "The prince of Lingxi secretly broke into my concubine's room late at night, intending to do something improper
. In order to protect the master, you accidentally killed the prince of Lingxi." Yan Yin was shocked after hearing this, and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Princess, please spare my life, please spare my life, Your Highness the prince will not tell anyone about what happened tonight."
Nan Yin turned a deaf ear to him and shouted, "Go..."
For a moment, all the secret guards seemed to have a reason and attacked Yan Yin.
Yan Yin was holding the child in one hand and could only use one hand to attack, and he had no weapons. In addition, he was outnumbered, so he was quickly defeated.
A secret guard hit Yan Yin in the chest with a palm. Yan Yin was unable to dodge and was beaten to half kneel on the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his lips.
Then a sword was pressed against his neck.
Yan Yin wanted to beg for mercy for Yan Yin, so she knelt on the ground and crawled forward two steps, "Princess, please show mercy."
Nan Yin smiled, her face was sly, and she glanced at Yan Yin.
Yan Yin lowered his head hurriedly.
Nan Yin turned her eyes to Yan Yin, who was half-kneeling on the ground, with disdain. She didn't know what she thought of, her eyes turned, and a sneer spread across her face.
"Okay..."
These two words were originally good words, but Yan Yin's body trembled when he heard them, and he was very uneasy.
Nan Yin gave the secret guard a look, and before Yan Yin could react, the secret guard directly chopped him on the neck with a palm.
Yan Yin fell to the ground unwillingly and fainted. Before he fainted, he glanced at the child in his arms.
Hearing this, the chill on Bei Mingchen's body became more intense.
Fo Xi paused for a long time. She now regretted killing Yan Yin with such a single knife.
It was really inhumane to attack
a newborn child so rudely and barbarically. Yan Yin lowered his eyes slightly. He was very regretful. He regretted that he had broken in alone and that he could not save the child. His voice was restrained, but one could still hear the grief and regret.
"When I woke up again, I was already in Lingxi Country. I sent people to look for the child, but to no avail."
"I also asked Yan Yin many times, but I didn't get the answer I wanted."
"I have also been to Anjun Country, but the situation in Anjun Country at that time..."
At this point, Yan Yin stopped and looked up at Bei Mingchen.
Bei Mingchen nodded slightly, "I know, I know the situation of Anjun Kingdom at that time."
Yan Yin sighed and continued.
"Five or six years passed like this, and the political situation in Nantong Kingdom and Anjun Kingdom changed drastically in these few years."
"The crown prince and princes of Nantong Kingdom died or were injured. The Southern Emperor was already old, and he had no choice but to pass the throne to his daughter, but overnight, the eldest princess Nanle, whom the Southern Emperor valued the most, was found by the guards to have an affair with someone..."
The more he spoke, the smaller Yan Yin's voice became, and he added a lot of helplessness.
"One day, Yan Yin sent me a message saying that she had figured it out, and she would tell me the whereabouts of the child."
At this point, Yan Yin looked at Foxi.
"It turns out that she and Nanyin teamed up to drug me, and then let me and Nanyin..."
After many years, Yan Yin no longer felt the initial shame when he mentioned this matter, especially now that there is Xiaoxi, his daughter.
Facing Yan Yin's loving eyes, Foxi did not escape.
"So, Jian Yan was not forced, she had planned it long ago." Bei Mingchen said coldly, his voice was full of coldness and murderousness, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Yan Yin and Foxi looked away and hummed lightly: "Yes..."
"Thank you." Bei Mingchen stood up after speaking, holding Foxi's hand and was about to walk out.
"Xi'er, let's go."
"Okay..."
Bei Mingchen squeezed a smile at Foxi. He was afraid that Jian Yan would be in danger because he had not attacked Nantong Kingdom for a long time. Now they are in the same nest, and it's time to get rid of her.
Seeing the two were about to leave, Yan Yin said, "I hope you can stay in Lingxi Kingdom. I can ensure your safety within my sphere of influence."
Bei Mingchen stopped, glanced at Foxi and smiled, turned around and looked over, "No reward without merit, and keeping us in Lingxi Kingdom is a thankless task. What does the Emperor Ling want to do?"
Yan Yin pondered for a long time, made up his mind and said, "I am Xiaoxi's father."
After saying that, seeing that Bei Mingchen and Foxi were not very surprised, and they looked as if it was expected, he stood up abruptly and said in disbelief, "You know?"
Foxi nodded slightly, "I guessed it."
Yan Yin sat down again, "It's good that you guessed it. I was afraid that you didn't believe it. Come and sit down. "
Bei Mingchen took Foxi and walked over and sat down again.
Yan Yin: "It's time for Lingxi Kingdom to make a break with Nantong Kingdom, let's do it together."
"Well..."
At dinner time, Bei Mingyu and Jian Chao Lanqian also came to Lingxi Kingdom.
In the room, Foxi looked at Bei Mingchen, whose brows had not relaxed, and said: "I just remembered that Bei Mingyu is the elder brother, and you are the younger brother."
As soon as the voice fell, the scene in front of her changed, and she was pulled into Bei Mingchen's arms.
Bei Mingchen said in a teasing voice: "I am the elder brother, and he is the younger brother."
Foxi's face showed joy, her hands climbed on his neck, and she joked: "No, I will tell Bei Mingyu later, I want to tell him... um..."
Before Foxi finished her words, Bei Mingchen sealed her lips.
After a while, Foxi's mind went blank, and she could only obey Bei Mingchen.
Fearing that Foxi's breathing difficulties would cause discomfort, Bei Mingchen reluctantly let her go.
Both of them were confused. Bei Mingchen said in a low voice: "I am the elder brother. If Xier didn't remember, then..."
Foxi nodded shyly and said in a lazy and charming voice: "You are the elder brother, and he is the younger brother."
Bei Mingchen looked at the shy Foxi and couldn't help but move closer.
Until the eunuch's voice outside the palace sounded: "Your Highness Prince Chen, Princess Chen, the second prince Jian is here."
Bei Mingchen let go of Foxi, straightened her clothes for her, and held Foxi's cheek, "Let's go..."
Foxi smiled and followed Bei Mingchen out of the room.
Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs passing by were extremely respectful, and they knelt down to pay their respects when they saw the two of them.
Jian Chao and Bei Mingyu were sitting in the hall waiting, and when they saw Bei Mingchen and Foxi, they stood up in a hurry.
Foxi smiled and looked at everyone, "Sit down, sit down, don't worry, I'm fine."
After everyone sat down, Foxi turned to look at Bei Mingyu, and then found that he was wearing a mask. Thinking of his experience, she felt very uncomfortable.
She moved all the cakes in front of her to Bei Mingyu and said with a smile: "Which one do you want to eat?"
Bei Mingyu was a little uncomfortable. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he coughed lightly and said: "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
Foxi touched Bei Mingyu's head, mysteriously kind, "Be good..."
Bei Mingyu leaned to the side a little, and looked at Bei Mingchen in shock. Did the eldest sister-in-law break her head?
Lan Qian stood up and went to Foxi's side, "Princess, let me take your pulse."
Foxi didn't realize anything yet and waved her hands, "No, I'm fine."
Bei Mingchen grabbed Foxi's waving hands and lowered his head to whisper something in Foxi's ear.
Foxi's face froze, a little shy, and glared at Bei Mingchen.
[Shameless.]
Then he sat there obediently.
Bei Mingyu lowered his eyes to look at the many cakes in front of him and reached out to take one.
Yan Yin rushed to the hall after finishing his work in the court. He was very surprised when he saw Bei Mingyu. This man was wearing a mask so that people couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the shadow of Bei Mingchen could be seen from him.
Bei Mingchen saw Yan Yin's confusion and said, "This is the child." Then he added, "He is my brother."
Yan Yin didn't know whether he didn't hear the latter sentence or ignored it automatically. He just nodded, feeling relieved. As long as he
is safe, he is safe...
