"Shuixian, what did you just say? My uncle lost his daughter when he was hunted down back then? Why have I never heard of my uncle having a daughter? "The fifth prince stared at princess Tai 'an in confusion.
Everyone knew that Emperor Xi had no descendants! Now that princess Tai 'an had suddenly mentioned a daughter, the fifth prince became rather confused.
Don't ask anymore, okay? If Auntie finds out that I leaked the news, Auntie will never forgive me. " The fifth princess had become rather flustered. Some panic appeared on her face. She knew extremely well just how great of a mistake she had made by leaking the news by accident.
The fifth prince and Jianchen both realised the severity of the matter when they saw how panicked and fearful princess Tai 'an was, so they did not ask too much.
However, with their sharp minds, they were able to come up with many conclusions from this small piece of news.
"Jianchen, Xi Hao, can you not tell anyone about this? This matter is still highly confidential in the empire. There aren't a lot of people who know about it." Princess Tai 'an was no longer as composed as before. Her face was filled with panic as she begged Jianchen and Xi Hao.
"Don't worry, Shuixian. We definitely won't tell anyone about this. Jianchen, am I right?" The fifth prince swore.
Jianchen nodded as well, promising that he would not leak the secret.
Princess Tai 'an was no longer in the mood to stay in the Xuandao Dynasty after something like this happened. She bid farewell to Jianchen in a hurry and left uneasily.
Naturally, the fifth prince did not stay behind after princess Tai 'an left. After giving Jianchen a communication jade talisman, he left the Xuandao Dynasty as well.
The fifth prince was extremely smart. He knew that the chances of roping in a supreme prodigy like Jianchen were extremely slim. As a result, he never mentioned roping him in before Jianchen. He only tried to foster their friendship.
If they became friends, everything would be much simpler.
Jianchen sent the fifth prince and princess Tai 'an out of the imperial capital before returning to his residence. He thought about the matter of Emperor Xi's daughter.
"I never thought that Emperor Xi would kill so many Primordial realm experts just to avenge his daughter. Though, when will this grievance end so that I can return to the southern region sooner?" Jianchen thought. He was very worried as he sat in his residence.
However, at this moment, Jianchen's body suddenly shuddered. A thought that he found rather unbelievable suddenly appeared in his head. He immediately thought about it and began to analyse it quickly.
"Even now, no one in the Xi dynasty knows about Emperor Xi and his wife having a child. Even the Imperial Protector of the Xi dynasty doesn't know about it. As a result, I can be certain that the empress' pregnancy did not happen in the Xi dynasty. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to keep it a secret. It would have spread like wildfire a long time ago."
"As a result, the empress' pregnancy probably happened when Emperor Xi was being hunted down. That was over two thousand years ago …"
"Also over two thousand years ago, the patriarch of the Mo clan picked up a baby girl from outside. She had nothing else on her apart from a jade pendant with the words' Xi Yu 'engraved on it. I've seen the jade pendant as well. It's extremely tough and extraordinary. Even I was unable to damage it back then. As a result, the person who left behind the words on the jade pendant must have possessed an extremely great cultivation. "
"The time matches, the surname matches, and the gender matches. Don't tell me Xi Yu is …"
Jianchen immediately became extremely shocked when he thought up to there. He found it to be very unbelievable.
After a moment of hesitation, Jianchen suddenly looked in the direction that princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince had left in and chased after them as quickly as he could.
Outside the imperial capital, a luxurious carriage was propelled by nine exotic beasts as it rapidly flew through the air.
Several dozen powerful guards followed the carriage closely on both sides. To no surprise, the leader was a Divine King.
At this moment, princess Tai 'an of the Xi dynasty and the fifth prince sat in the carriage.
"Shuixian, can you tell me in detail what's going on? When did uncle have a daughter? Why haven't I heard about it before? "The fifth prince asked curiously.
This luxurious carriage was also a magic treasure with extremely strong defensive power. It was covered with array formations, and the conversation inside could not be transmitted to the outside at all.
"I'll have to start from when my uncle and aunt were being hunted down."
"Back then, my aunt and uncle unexpectedly discovered that they were pregnant when they were hunted down by their enemies. Only when my aunt gave birth to the child did they make up their mind to abandon her as they were unable to protect their newborn daughter. They hoped that their daughter could survive," princess Tai 'an said slowly.
"So that's how it is. I never thought that I would actually have a younger sister. What happened after that? What happened to my sister? Is there any news? "The fifth prince was greatly surprised before asking in concern.
Princess Tai 'an shook her head. Her face was gloomy. She said, "Back then, my aunt and uncle were hunted down extremely miserably. They fled across the entire Cloud Plane and were heavily injured many times. Their lives were hanging by a thread. The situation was extremely dangerous. Even they had no idea where their daughter was, so they don't even know if she's still alive."
"It's just that after my uncle ascended to the throne, he offended far too many people in order to take revenge. As a result, he never dared to announce that he had a daughter, afraid that their enemies would find their daughter first. As a result, he could only send trusted subordinates to search the entire Cloud Plane secretly. However, after all these years, there's still no news at all. "
Princess Tai 'an looked at Xi Hao when she reached there. She said, "Xi Hao, you understand the severity of this matter now, right? You can't tell anyone about this."
Xi Hao nodded sternly. He said, "Shuixian, I know what I'm doing. I never thought that the reason why my uncle's personality changed so drastically and he became so vicious and heartless was because of this. Now, I don't think my uncle has gone overboard at all. "
At this moment, a guard's voice rang out from outside, "Fifth prince, princess Tai 'an, Jianchen has caught up. He says that he wants to see princess Tai' an."
"Jianchen has caught up? What does he want to do? "
The fifth prince and princess Tai 'an were both puzzled.
Very soon, the carriage came to a stop. Princess Tai 'an and the fifth prince emerged from the carriage. They hovered in the air as they watched Jianchen chase after them with lightning speed.
Jianchen clasped his fist at the fifth prince before saying to princess Tai 'an, "Princess Tai' an, may I have a word with you?"
Princess Tai 'an nodded and immediately flew into the distance with Jianchen.
The fifth prince stood with his hands behind his back. He stood before the carriage and gazed at them in the distance. He was very puzzled and murmured to himself, "Strange. Why has Jianchen suddenly come looking for Shuixian?"
In the distance, Jianchen cast down a soundproof barrier before taking out an embroidered box from his Space Ring. He said sternly, "Princess Tai 'an, I have a request. Please personally hand this embroidered box to the empress or Emperor Xi."
Princess Tai 'an accepted the embroidered box out of curiosity. She looked at it from left to right and asked in confusion, "Jianchen, what is this?"
"Just treat it as a small gift to the empress and Emperor Xi. Perhaps they'll like it. However, the empress and the Xi Emperor must see what's inside with their own eyes, "Jian Chen was extremely stern as if he was telling them something extremely important.
"Yes, I will personally hand it to aunt and uncle," said princess Tai 'an before returning to the carriage and leaving with the fifth prince.
Jianchen did not leave. He stood in the air as he stared at the carriage that had already vanished. He thought, "Although I made the jade pendant in a hurry, and the material used to make it was nothing special, both its appearance and the words on it are the same as the one I saw from Xi Yu. If Xi Yu really is the daughter Emperor Xi and his wife lost, they'll naturally recognise the jade pendant after seeing it."
"But if she's not, it's not a loss to me. I won't have offended Emperor Xi and the empress because of this."
