When Dongfang Xunyi heard Chen Yi's address to him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
"you……"
"Eh? Pretty brother, how come you have a portrait of my elder sister?"
Dongfang Xunyi was about to correct Chen Yi's address, but before he could say anything, Chen Yi suddenly saw the portrait spread out on the desk.
Just by looking at the figure of the woman in the painting, he recognized at a glance that the person in the painting was his older sister.
Dongfang Xunyi asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
He followed Chen Yi's gaze and his eyes fell on the portrait he had drawn.
Ever since Dongfang Xunyi was trained as the crown prince, he has not shown his emotions on his face.
This was the first time in many years that he expressed his emotional changes directly through his facial expression.
Chen Yi felt uncomfortable being carried by the secret guards. He twisted his body and said, "I want to get down."
The big bad guy held up the back of his collar and spun around in the air like a rag doll, making him dizzy.
"Put him down."
Dongfang Xunyi spoke.
He was eager to know what came out of the child's mouth.
"emperor……"
"A tiny child. If I am afraid of a weak child, then my position can be taken by anyone."
The secret guard was a little worried, but Dongfang Xunyi's question interrupted him.
As an emperor, if he has no ability to protect himself and completely puts his safety in the hands of others, his throne will not last long.
The secret guard nodded respectfully, "Yes, I obey your command."
He put Chen Yi on the ground as he was told.
"Thank you, handsome brother. I knew that handsome brother must be kind and good-hearted."
Chen Yi hugged his neck and thanked him with a grin.
Dongfang Xunyi: That’s not necessary.
"You go out first. I have something to ask him alone." Dongfang Xunyi opened his mouth and let the secret guard go out first.
The secret guard bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He stepped back.
After the secret guards left, only two people, one big and one small, were left in the imperial study.
Dongfang Xunyi couldn't wait to take a step forward and walked in front of Chen Yi.
"What did you just say?" he asked again.
Dongfang Xunyi was a young man with excellent hearing. It was not that he did not hear clearly what Chen Yi said just now, he just wanted to confirm it again.
After he asked, he looked down into Chen Yi's eyes.
Eyes don't lie.
Dongfang Xunyi never told anyone else that the person in the painting was the person in his dream.
Apart from him, no one else had actually seen the woman in the portrait.
But the child said that the woman in the portrait was his older sister.
His voice was firm.
Dongfang Xunyi was confused.
You know, he had never seen the face of the woman in his dream, and the painting he made was also faceless, with only a metal mask on her face, which was exactly the same as what he saw in his dream.
How could he determine that the woman in the painting was his elder sister when the painting had no face?
"Pretty brother, can I take a closer look at the painting on your desk?"
Chen Yi did not answer Dongfang Xunyi's question, but asked politely.
Although he was very sure that the woman in the portrait had the same figure as his elder sister.
But in order to avoid even the slightest mistake, he made a request.
"Um."
Dongfang Xunyi nodded.
Chen Yi opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, pretty brother."
Dongfang Xunyi didn't have time to worry about Chen Yi's name.
Now he just wanted to know whether the woman in his dream that he painted was really the older sister of the child in front of him?
If this can be confirmed, will her identity come to light?
Dongfang Xunyi sent secret guards to investigate for clues about the woman in his dream, but found nothing.
It was as if she really only existed in his dreams.
He had given up the idea.
I just thought the woman in the painting was a fairy in my dream.
However, Chen Yi's words made Dongfang Xunyi think that his dream had come true.
After a while.
Chen Yi left the desk.
"Did you see it carefully?" Dongfang Xunyi kept his eyes on him.
"Look carefully, this is the big sister, the big sister I'm looking for!"
Chen Yi said very affirmatively.
Dongfang Xunyi was delighted in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
He raised his eyebrows and said deliberately, "If a child lies, his nose will grow longer."
"I'm not lying!"
Chen Yi's little face wrinkled together, his chest heaved up and down, and he spoke in an angry tone.
I didn't lie, my nose won't get longer.
Dongfang Xunyi's first reaction when he saw Chen Yi was that he could tell from his eyes that he was not lying.
He asked step by step: "Okay, since you are not lying, then tell me, how do you know that the person in the portrait is your sister? This portrait does not show the face of the person."
"I……"
Chen Yi bit his lower lip, but at only five years old, his vocabulary was limited, and he didn't know how to explain to Dongfang Xunyi.
"I can't answer that, but I just know that she must be the eldest sister!" Chen Yi said with certainty, "If the eldest sister puts on the mask above, she will definitely look exactly like the one in the painting."
His firm and direct answer is the best explanation.
———
Fengyi Palace.
"Host……"
"Empress Dowager, something bad has happened!"
"System, Fuling must have something urgent to do. Please talk to me later."
