Ying Xixi was shocked. She didn't expect it to be like this.
No wonder my stepmother never mentioned a word about her life experience. If her identity as a princess of the previous dynasty of a neighboring country were known by someone with ulterior motives, it would be very dangerous.
And her background, her identity as the daughter of a neighboring prince, is also very dangerous.
If she had an irreconcilable conflict with Ying Sili with this identity, Emperor Fufeng would not necessarily protect her!
Ying Xixi looked at King Zhao, such a tall and burly man, crying like a crybaby, and spoke out to comfort him.
"Don't be sad, my mother has decided to divorce Ying Sili. You still have a chance to be with her again."
King Zhao paused in crying, suddenly looked up, and looked at Ying Xixi with red eyes in surprise.
"Your mother really wants a divorce! Has she decided?!"
Ying Xixi nodded confidently, "Yes, I discussed this with my mother, and I haven't told anyone else yet.
But divorce is not a trivial matter after all. My mother said that she would find a suitable opportunity to divorce Ying Sili.
My mother has been bedridden for many years because of what happened in my childhood, and she has no feelings for Ying Sili at all.
Seeing that my mother was also in pain, I advised her to divorce. Fortunately, my mother was willing to divorce Ying Sili.
Prince, do you have any way to help my mother get a divorce quickly?"
She couldn't think of any solution at the moment.
Prince Zhao pondered, "Divorce is a very rare thing. Not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor would usually persuade people to reconcile rather than divorce.
Unless Ying Sili has done something to offend your mother, and your mother asks for a divorce, the emperor will likely agree."
"What about Ying Sili favoring his concubine over his wife? Doesn't that count as being unfair to my mother?"
"Yes, but this matter has already passed. Ying Sili has been temporarily dismissed from office, and the emperor has already punished him. If your mother asks for a divorce now, it is too late. The emperor may not agree."
When Ying Xixi heard this, she felt a little annoyed.
"I didn't think of this. If I had thought of it earlier, my mother would have been able to divorce smoothly. We missed such a good opportunity."
King Zhao looked at his daughter lovingly.
"Xixi, this is not your fault. I guess, at that time, your mother probably hadn't made up her mind to divorce Ying Sili.
That's just your mother's personality. She takes a long time to make a decision.
I have waited for decades, but still haven't waited for your mother to make a decision."
King Zhao smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, this time you will definitely know my mother's decision."
Ying Xixi hopes that her adopted mother can leave Ying Sili and live a happy life, but no one knows whether her adopted mother's happiness lies with King Zhao.
Although she is the daughter of her mother and King Zhao, she would not take the initiative to bring them together.
Let mother make her own choice.
She supports her mother no matter what choice she makes.
But there is no need to say this to my cheap father, King Zhao.
Let them make their own choices regarding adult matters.
"If you want your mother and Ying Sili to divorce smoothly, you can only work on Ying Sili.
Xixi, do you know what else Ying Sili has done over the years besides favoring his concubine and killing his wife? "
The people sent by King Zhao to investigate only investigated Zhao and Ying Xixi, mother and daughter, and did not investigate Ying Sili.
Ying Xixi shook her head without even thinking, "I don't know, Ying Sili has been the Prime Minister for more than ten years, and he has a pretty good image in the eyes of outsiders.
That is why his reputation in the capital plummeted after the news of him favoring his concubine over his wife was exposed.
After he was dismissed from office, he stayed at home all day drinking to drown his sorrows, and it seemed that he didn't go out to do anything.
If you want to find the bad things he did, I'm afraid you won't find them."
This is also what Ying Xixi is worried about. If she wants to bring down Ying Sili, she can only create some things artificially.
King Zhao smiled meaningfully, "That's hard to say. There's no perfect person in the world. The position of Prime Minister is second only to the emperor, and few people in this position can keep their original aspirations.
Xixi, I will handle the investigation of Ying Sili. No matter what happens this time, I will dig out all of Ying Sili's secrets!
It would be fine if Ying Sili really was a man who had never done anything bad except favoring his concubine and killing his wife.
We can create it artificially, as long as it helps him to divorce your mother smoothly."
King Zhao showed a calculating look, but Ying Xixi didn't seem to mind.
If King Zhao had not been a bit scheming, he would not have been able to hold on to his position as a king of a different surname in the Northern Wei Kingdom.
The important thing is that King Zhao had scheming intentions, but he did not deliberately hide them in front of his adopted daughter.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Your Highness. If you find anything during the investigation, could you please let me know? I'd like to know, too."
"Of course, I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes."
The father and daughter who had just "met" today were chatting happily for a while. After a pause, King Zhao remembered another thing and asked hesitantly.
"By the way, Xixi, I heard you want to marry the Night King?"
King Zhao asked nervously. He was already old and suddenly became a father. He didn't know how to get along with his daughter.
Ying Xixi raised an eyebrow, "The prince is investigating me?"
"I'm sorry, Xixi." Prince Zhao apologized immediately, "I wanted to know how you've been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the past decade, so I sent someone to investigate you.
It was only after investigating that I suspected you might be my daughter. Xixi, I won't investigate you again, just this once."
Prince Zhao's cautious look made Ying Xixi wonder if she had scared her adoptive father.
"It's okay. You're curious, so it's only natural for you to ask someone to investigate. After all, if you want to know about my mother's situation, the only way is to investigate.
Yes, I do want to marry the Night King. Your Majesty should know my situation: I cannot have children.
Especially now that everyone in the capital knows about it, no one would be willing to marry me.
The Night King has disabled legs, has difficulty in having children, and has such a bad reputation that no one would be willing to marry their daughter to him.
Then it would be most appropriate for me to marry him, but I don’t know whether the Night King is willing to marry me.
I go to the Night King's Mansion every day, but I have never been with the Night King. I don't even know what the Night King looks like."
When this matter was mentioned, Ying Xixi felt speechless.
She has completed so many missions in different dimensions, but the male protagonist in this dimension is a tough nut to crack.
It's been so long, and she doesn't even know what he looks like!
If it weren't for the mission, she would have wanted to quit!
Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.
At worst, she won’t do the mission in this dimension!
It would be nice if I could apply to change the male lead...
