Bai Yin frowned.
His heart was filled with confusion!
Who was Ah Jin? He didn't know.
When Lian Que heard the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom call Bai Yin "Ah Jin" with tears in his eyes, his heart stopped for a few seconds.
His entire body tensed up.
Ah Jin!
A name that had been hidden in Lian Que's heart for more than twenty years.
The person who disappeared in his life for more than 20 years.
At this moment, he was here.
Familiar, yet unfamiliar!
He clenched his fists tightly.
His mind was blank.
Even though he had already made preparations on the way here!
He had fantasized about reuniting with Ah Jin many times, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
The Third Master stepped forward with a solemn expression on his face. He looked around and said, "Since everyone is here, it's time to say some things."
What should I say? Third Master glanced at the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, who was holding back his tears. "I've said it before, if you want to know your background, you have to go to Huyi and find a person called Cha He, and this person is the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom. I didn't tell you directly because I was worried that there would be trouble. If it was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. That's why I only told you the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom's previous name because not many people know about it." Then, his gaze lingered on Ji Yunshu and Bai Yin for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said in a serious tone, "And the Marquis is no stranger. He... He is your uncle, your biological uncle."
Uncle! "
Uncle?
Huh?
The corners of Bai Yin's eyes twitched as she panicked. She thought that she had misheard, "What did you say? The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom … is Yunshu and I's uncle? How was this possible? Third Master was the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom! If that's the case, then wouldn't our parents … "
He choked on his words!
Third Master added, "That's right. Your parents are the late King … and Queen of Huyi."
"… Huh?"
These words were like a bolt of lightning striking down.
In an instant, the few of them fell into silence.
They were all stunned by these words.
The late king?
The late Queen?
Ji Yunshu stood there in a daze, even though she had already prepared herself to accept the truth.
But when he heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't digest it.
If that was the case, then she … was the princess of the previous dynasty?
A lost pearl in the vast sea?
For a moment, her feelings were indescribable.
This kind of identity was something that no one could have expected.
Bai Yin was the same!
He had fantasized countless times about what his identity was.
But he had never thought that … he would be the prince of the previous dynasty!
This was the same logic as a sparrow turning into a phoenix.
He couldn't accept it.
It was too shocking.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow and guilt. "Let me say it."
He continued Third Master's words.
He looked at Ji Yunshu and Bai Yin with teary eyes and sighed, "I really didn't expect that I would be able to see you again after more than twenty years. Perhaps the heavens have taken pity on me and have finally sent you to me."
His voice was trembling.
The excitement in her heart was written in her tear-filled eyes.
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and asked, "What's going on? What exactly happened back then? Bai Yin and I... what exactly... "
Stop!
He was extremely confused.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom: "This matter has to start from the civil strife in Huyi more than 20 years ago..."
The past was vivid in his mind at all times.
He would never forget it. He walked a few steps to the side of the pavilion and looked up at the pitch-black starry sky. He sighed again and spoke with his back facing the crowd, "Back then, when your Imperial Father was still on the throne, your uncle... the current King of Huyi, was unwilling to lose the throne and was even more unwilling to be a subject. However, in the few years after your Imperial Father ascended to the throne, in order to balance the power in the court, he had no choice but to suppress him in all aspects to prevent one party from becoming too powerful and causing the court to collapse. Unexpectedly, he was dissatisfied and caused several waves in the court, causing your Imperial Father to have no choice but to temporarily accept his military power!
Because of this, he was completely enraged! How could a tiger who was unwilling to be trapped in a cage endure the humiliation of having his food taken away from him? So, he rebelled! "
Rebelled! He turned around and looked at the crowd, continuing, "He secretly gathered his troops and gathered all the forces from all sides! Many civil and military officials in the court also joined him. Soon, the army broke into the palace and burned down one palace after another. The entire palace was covered with corpses! Under the fire, no one could resist. After the city gates were breached one by one, your Imperial Father was finally trapped in the main hall! I was too late and was powerless to turn the situation around. I could only watch as your father was beheaded and his corpse was thrown into the wilderness. Fortunately, I sent people to rush over and retrieve the corpse.
Fortunately, I sent people to bring the body back and quietly buried it. But that traitor lied and said that your Imperial Father committed suicide in front of the palace! He pushed all the blame away. "
They gritted their teeth!
Everyone knew that if they besieged the palace and killed their brother, the people of Huyi would definitely condemn them.
So, the King of Huyi told a big lie.
He lied and said that the late Imperial Father committed suicide in front of the palace!
He could not hide it from the people of the world.
Then, the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom looked at Bai Yin. "As for your Imperial Mother, she was already half a month pregnant at that time. When they forced the Imperial Father to abdicate, fortunately, Ah Tang brought people with him and took her and young you away from the palace. After that, there was no news of her!"
Ah Tang.
It was the Third Master!
Bai Yin's chest heaved up and down.
He had lost all his memories of that year.
However, in that dream, he seemed to have a little impression of it.
Suddenly —
Ji Yunshu asked the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom, "Then … why didn't the King of Huyi kill you?"
That was a good question! The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom explained, "In fact, after the King of Huyi ascended to the throne, he framed all the officials who were dissatisfied with him with crimes and executed them quickly! At that time, there was a lot of killing and it also attracted the resentment of the people! So, he had to stop and demote those officials from Gaoding one by one. As for me … in order to find you one day, I had no choice but to swallow my anger and withdraw from the court.
All of you had no choice but to swallow your anger and withdraw from the Imperial Court. All these years, I've been traveling the world as merchants, hoping to find you one day. But it's been more than twenty years, and there has been no result. "
His face was full of tears.
When he talked about what happened in the past, he was also heartbroken.
His heart was filled with hatred.
There was an indescribable sorrow in his heart.
He heaved a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "But it was worth it to swallow my anger for so many years. At least I have waited for this day to be able to reunite with you. Unfortunately, Xi'er is no longer here."
Ji Yunshu could not help but tremble.
The truth … was so cruel.
