You can say that.
He has watched Yongning grow up since he was a child.
He hoped that Yongning could marry the man she loved instead of becoming a victim of the royal family, so he approached Emperor Yongding to plead for her. However, he never expected that it would become the decision he regretted the most.
Although Emperor Yongding agreed to their marriage, he also ordered people to arrange the marriage.
On the day of their wedding, he attended the wedding banquet, while his daughter Ze'er entered the palace.
The two wanted to bless Yongning in person and wanted to give Yongning a blessing in person.
That night, the wedding banquet did not continue. Someone from the palace came and said that the prince consort had changed his mind and abandoned the princess and would not marry her. The wedding banquet was over, and he returned to the Hua family. He had wanted to wait for Ze'er to come back, but he did not expect to see him covered in blood and wounds all over his body.
He was still holding Yongning, who was dead with only one breath left and whose stomach was cut open.
"Dad, protect Yongning."
"I'm going to go accompany Shi'er."
After handing Yongning over to him, his son left and he never saw him again after that night.
No, it should be said that he found his and Yan'er's bodies. They lost their lives, and Yongning was barely alive, hanging on to his last breath in a state worse than death.
He wanted to go into the palace to find out.
But unexpectedly, after entering the palace, she saw Yongning, a Yongning who was alive and well.
"I sent people to investigate what happened that night, but they killed everyone who knew what happened. Even though I knew it was related to Emperor Yongding, I didn't dare tell anyone until I had investigated thoroughly. I could only hide Yongning and hope to cure her one day."
His son and daughter-in-law died that night.
They risked their lives to save Yongning. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he could not act rashly for the sake of Yongning and his two grandsons. Therefore, he had been investigating secretly all these years.
He didn't even dare let his two grandsons know about this.
The eldest grandson Mingyang has had a chronic illness since his mother's womb and has always been in poor health; Mingyue also had an accident when he was young, which prevented him from making any further progress in his cultivation. Although he is good at medicine, he has no ability to protect himself.
Therefore, this secret has been buried in his heart for twenty years, and it was not until now that he said it out. Mr. Hua sighed again and then looked at Bai Yanyan, "Girl, you said you knew that Yongning in the palace was fake, what's going on?"
“It’s like this…”
Bai Yanyan told what she knew.
But she concealed some things. She didn't mention the magic array and the magic energy. She only said that Emperor Yongding wanted to live forever, so he did these crazy things. Of course, she also revealed Qingchuan's identity.
As for the death of Princess Yongning of Emperor Yongding, Bai Yanyan said that Qingchuan came out of the imperial mausoleum to seek revenge on them.
"I see..."
After hearing Bai Yanyan's words, the tension in Mr. Hua's heart relaxed, and he became even more excited. "Is it really over? Is she really dead?"
"Yes!"
Bai Yanyan nodded affirmatively.
Seeing that old man Hua was full of excitement, she helped him sit down beside her and gave him a pill. Then she went to look at Old Ji on the bed. Looking at her old face, she also sighed.
I felt sorry for this old Ji before, but I didn’t expect that she was the real Yongning.
Bai Yanyan reached out to take her pulse and check her condition.
The evil energy in her body has dissipated, and the vitality she had lost before has also been restored. It should be because Grandpa Hua gave her the ten thousand year old ginseng. Her body is not in serious condition now. Although she is a little weak, she will be fine if she takes good care of herself for a while.
"She woke up two months ago. At first, she could barely open her eyes. Later, she could stay awake for a quarter of an hour, half an hour, and now she can stay awake for an hour. However, even when she wakes up, her condition is not good."
"It's just that she hasn't spoken a word in this period of time."
"Her throat is fine." Bai Yanyan touched her neck. "The reason she didn't speak is because she had no desire to live."
She learned about her experience from the fake Princess Yongning.
On the day of her wedding, her husband 'abandoned' her, and her brother had her belly cut open to take out her child. She was filled with despair and sadness, and her life force was sucked away... She could not survive in the first place.
For the past twenty years or so, the Hua family had been keeping her alive with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. Later, she removed the evil spirit, gave her medicine, and prescribed her the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs grown on the Divine Island, and only then did she recover.
Bai Yanyan asked Chiyu to go back and call Qingchuan.
Qingchuan ate the Tianxuan Fruit and changed into a human form before coming over.
After seeing Lao Ji lying on the bed, he was trembling with shock and heartache on his face. He didn't even dare to go forward, not because he was afraid, but because he felt heartache and hated himself.
I hated myself for not seeing through the fake Yongning right away, why I didn't break free from the restraints, why... I didn't protect Yongning and let her suffer so much.
"It's all in the past. What happened before has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it."
Bai Yanyan patted Qingchuan's shoulder to comfort him, then pulled Old Man Hua out, leaving the space to Qingchuan and the other person.
Although Grandpa Hua was worried about Qingchuan, he was still worried about Bai Yanyan. Moreover, Yongning had been awake for two months. Every time he woke up, he would go out to the yard to bask in the sun. He never spoke and looked lifeless. He had no choice.
After comforting Old Man Hua, Bai Yanyan went to find Hua Mingyue.
Hua Mingyue sat in front of the stone table in the yard, looking at the honest and cute cat lantern on the table, her brows furrowed and her face looked very bad, especially when she thought about what happened last night.
He didn't know when the relationship with Si Fei had developed to this point.
but…
He knew he shouldn't.
Si Fei and he are not the same kind of people.
A hundred years later, he had already left, and Si Fei was still young, and he liked too many people and was also affectionate with many of them. Not to mention a hundred years, even ten years would not be possible for Si Fei to stay by his side. If that was the case, there was no need to start.
Seeing Bai Yanyan coming over, Hua Mingyue said directly: "Yanyan, can you help me with something?"
Bai Yanyan:?
"Si Fei said you were going to the Ao Yue Empire. There are Netherworld Flowers there. If you come across them, could you please get them for me?"
The Nether Flower seemed to grow in dark places and was rarely seen. Bai Yanyan nodded, "Okay, I'll get it for you. Are you okay?"
"without."
Hua Mingyue didn't say anything, and Bai Yanyan didn't ask. She just took out several ninth-grade spirit stones, seventh-grade and eighth-grade spirit stones, and many body-strengthening pills, including the gold that Si Fei had given her before.
"These are for you to support my eldest brother! Although he is a scumbag, please bear with him!"
