"In exchange for the Jun family's Earth-level magic, we, mother and son, can escape freely," Zhao Qinglian said, her eyes reddening and her voice choked with emotion for a moment.
Shi Mi quickly bowed and gently comforted her, showing the deep affection between the mother and son.
Shang Xiye couldn't bear to see her mother crying so sadly, but she didn't know how to go forward to comfort her.
Seeing the deep affection between Shi Mi and his mother, he felt even more uneasy.
Ji Fengyao didn't want to interrupt at this moment, so she silently tightened her grip on Shang Xiye's hand.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao couldn't interrupt, so they could only remain silent.
After calming herself down for a while, Zhao Qinglian's voice still betrayed her hatred as she said, "But those despicable scoundrels from the Dongdan and Zhou families, who broke their promises, released my son and me the moment they left, and then sent two men to follow me, intending to humiliate and kill me! I used all the magical treasures your father left me for self-defense to fight those two to a draw. To avoid being humiliated, I had no choice but to fight them to the death!"
But Ye'er, you are very brave. At only four months old, you probably knew that your mother was determined to die. After your mother fainted, you woke her up by having abdominal pain.
The mother, dragging her dying body, continued eastward and encountered Shang Chengque, who was leading troops into battle at the time.
Shang Chengque...
He was a good man. He tried everything he could to save me. Knowing that I was an orphan who had given birth alone, he was afraid that my son and I would be ridiculed by others, so he gave us a legitimate status as mother and son.
He fell in love with me at first sight and has always been sincere to me; but I already have your father in my heart, and I can never repay him with even a trace of romantic love in this lifetime.
Night, this is your true identity and origin.
Your biological father is Jun Xian Dan, the eldest son of the Jun family on the Danling Continent.
Shang Xiye finally understood the cause and effect, and many things that were unclear to her in her childhood now made sense:
Why did the concubine, who was so aloof, always go to such lengths to avoid the emperor's favor?
Why is it that my father and mother are always so polite to each other?
He used to think it was because his father loved him more than his mother.
It turned out that the mother had never loved the father, only felt gratitude and respect.
Having understood the reason for the incident, Shang Xiye's resentment dissipated. The awkwardness of not seeing each other for many years and his rudeness just now made him feel a little embarrassed. He looked up at Shi Mi and asked, "Then he... His Highness King Shi, is he also... Father's child, my... younger brother?"
“Of course it is!” Shi Mi stood up happily when he heard Shang Xiye call him his younger brother. He was full of youthful vigor and did not seem like a composed king at all. “I am naturally my father’s child and my elder brother, you are my biological brother of the same lineage. My name is Shi Mi, Jun Shi Mi, Shi as in resolving past grievances and Mi as in making amends!”
Shang Xiye: "..."
He used to have many nominal brothers in Dazhao, but none of them had even a tenth of the warmth between them as this younger brother.
He used to think that the royal family was heartless, but now he realized that there was also a distinction between blood ties and kinship.
"Brother, let me tell you, I've read all the information the envoys brought back about you over the years. I know that you've become the God of War of the Great Zhao, invincible and victorious in every battle!"
I can't even begin to describe how happy and admiring you are!
"Just thinking about you being my older brother makes me incredibly excited!" Shi Mi's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement. "It's a pity I'm not in good health, otherwise I would have gone to Da Zhao to see you long ago!"
Ji Fengyao also noticed that although Shi Mi looked like a healthy young man,
However, his overall aura exuded weakness, which must have been caused by a deficiency in his constitution from birth.
