After sitting for a while, Ying Xixi suddenly spoke.
"Zheng Yun, you said you wanted to marry into my family, but you haven't told me your background yet.
You, the Seventh Prince, wouldn't you want me to know your identity as a prince?"
Zheng Yun was not surprised that Ying Xixi knew about it.
"I knew you knew, so I thought I'd wait until you asked me before I told you. It's my fault.
I'm not sure how much you know about my identity as the Seventh Prince.
I can tell you everything I know."
"I only know that you are the Seventh Prince and that you were hunted by the other princes. I don't know anything else."
Zheng Yun hummed, "The prince who hunted me has been dealt with by my eldest brother, the new emperor.
The new emperor is the eldest prince, and he is the brother with whom I have the best relationship among all the princes of the late emperor.
Although I am a prince, I am not favored in the palace because my biological mother was a palace maid and was not favored by the late emperor.
The late emperor didn't care about me. The other princes took advantage of my biological mother's favor and bullied me and her.
Later, one time, my eldest brother appeared and saved my life and my biological mother's life. After that, we kept in touch secretly.
In the past few years, the health of the late emperor has been deteriorating, but the position of crown prince has not been appointed yet. The princes are ready to make a move and are secretly plotting against each other.
I have no interest in the throne and live my life in a low-key manner.
Who knew that I would become a pawn in the hands of other princes? Someone secretly fabricated the illusion that I also wanted to seize the throne, making me a target in the eyes of the princes.
After my eldest brother found out, he helped me block part of the plot, but more than a year ago, the plot against me implicated my eldest brother. I had no choice but to escape from the capital.
The secret guard and I were heading south, but we lost contact along the way, and I collapsed at your doorstep.
This was before you rescued me.
After you left that night, my secret guard came to the courtyard and found me. After the rain stopped, we left for the capital.
When I went back, I only stayed in the villa outside the capital temporarily until my eldest brother took action to deal with the princes who plotted against me and him. Only then did I return to the capital.
At that time, the late emperor was not in good health, and the capital was in chaos.
As a blind man, I can't do anything. I can only stay in the mansion and let the secret guards look for news about you.
A year passed quickly. Later, the late emperor passed away without leaving any will for the succession. As the eldest son, the eldest brother inherited the throne and became the new emperor.
Over the past year, my eldest brother has found many doctors to treat my eyes. Finally, three months ago, I regained my sight, and that's when I came to see you."
Zheng Yun slowly talked about his past.
From his few words, Ying Xixi could already imagine how hard Zheng Yun's childhood was.
"Then, have you ever told His Majesty that you want to marry into his family?
Will Your Majesty really agree?"
Zheng Yun smiled and said, "I haven't told my brother, but I believe he will agree.
Before I left, I told my brother that I was going to find my sweetheart."
