But not only was the girl born on a yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour, she also had a fiery red birthmark on her chest.
At the time, members of the Divine Cult were desperately searching for a baby born at that time with a birthmark bearing the rainbow pattern. To ensure the baby's safe growth, the late Emperor and Empress of the Northern Wei Dynasty had someone tamper with the birthmark, hoping to conceal it. However, the birthmark proved indelible, no matter what method they used.
Later, the enemy of the late queen, Mo Yunfang, the Great Lady of Xiliang, ordered You to steal the little princess and kill her. After You succeeded, he could not bear to do it again, but he was unwilling to go against his master's wishes, so he left the little princess with a farmer.
After much persuasion, You finally told me where the little princess was hiding. We went to the farm together, but found that in the chaos of war, everyone in the village had been massacred, and we didn't know whether the little princess was alive or dead.
The late queen had been ill since the little princess was abducted, and passed away two years later. The late emperor, though a skilled warrior, had been severely injured and was in poor health. Furthermore, he and the late queen were deeply in love, so he too passed away soon afterward.
The three young masters, who were the elder brothers, swore in front of the coffins of the late emperor and the late queen that they would find the little princess, either alive or dead.
I originally followed the late queen to protect her safety. After the late queen passed away, I traveled around, hoping to find the little princess and fulfill the late queen's last wish.
Later, I discovered that Murong Qingyu's mansion housed many infants, so I managed to sneak in. I noticed that you, among them, bore some resemblance to the little princess back then, and in your brows, you could already see the features of the late queen.
But children change every day. When I arrived at the Murong Mansion, you were already almost four years old, and you were fundamentally different from a newborn baby. Most importantly, although you bear some resemblance to the little princess and the late queen, you don't have the colorful birthmark that represents the little princess."
"Four years old? Haven't you been in the Murong Mansion for fifteen years?"
Mr. Jing's statement surprised Murong Xiao and Qian Yeming, but Murong Xiao would not miss any suspicious details.
Mr. Jing shook his head. "I've only been in the Murong Mansion for twelve years. To keep it a secret from everyone, I claimed to have been with you since childhood. But in reality, I've only been in the Murong Mansion for twelve years."
"Since you didn't dare to recognize her when she was a child, why are the three brothers of the Baili family now eager to see her one after another?" Qian Yeming asked.
"I had already tried to report the young lady's disappearance to my three masters early in the morning. However, the situation in Northern Wei was dire at the time. My masters were oppressed by powerful officials and could hardly protect themselves, so they ordered me to provide close protection.
After the young lady turned five, she was taken to the secret room. From then on, I spent my time there with her. The occasional time I went out, I was always with Murong Qingyu, and there was no way for me to communicate with the master.
As you all know, Murong Qingyu is a cunning and suspicious person. If he becomes suspicious of me, I might be able to escape easily, but I won't be able to protect the young lady. So over the years, while protecting the young lady from harm, I have also been striving to be someone Murong Qingyu can trust.
Later, the young lady stood out from the thousands of candidates, and after we successfully came out of the secret room, we had some extra free time.
