face, but danger lurked everywhere.Boarding the peculiar little boat, they sailed upstream along the winding river. All along the way, eerie howls and wails echoed through the air. If it weren't for...Xiao Zhan quickly glanced at Xiao Yu Fu, his face gloomy, and nodded: "It's true that she has worn it since she was a child..." He didn't know what to say. He never expected that his daughter would give up even her biological parents for the identity of a saint.
He knew his daughter was impersonating someone, but at this moment, he couldn't expose her. In front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, if she were found out, F'er would surely die, and even the entire Xiangfu would be implicated. He could only grit his teeth and continue making mistakes.
Having heard her father's words, Xiao Yufu's lips curved into an imperceptible smile. She knew that her father was so intelligent that he would never abandon the entire Xiao family estate.
The Regent fell into deep thought after hearing this. It was evident that he doubted the result, but he couldn't find any reason to refute it. Could he really accept Xiao Yufu as his daughter
"My lord, there's another way to verify if the county princess is truly our saint," the guard Yan Ling whispered to Feng Wuji as he approached him.
"What can we do" Feng Wuji frowned.
"...When this pendant is joined together, it can be separated again only by the blood of a saintess from every generation..."
Xiao Yufu, upon hearing this, didn't hesitate. She picked up the fruit knife beside her and without any hesitation, slashed it towards her own palm!
"Fu'er!" Xiao Zhan and his wife tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Xiao Yu Fu clutched her hand tightly, blood flowing from her palm. She quickly dripped the blood onto the pieced-together jade pendant. A miraculous scene appeared again. When the blood dropped onto the pendant, it emitted a dazzling light once more. The patterns on its surface seemed to come alive. Then, without anyone touching it, it split open automatically!
"Separate! It's really separated! She is the true princess!" Yan Ling seemed even more excited than her mistress.
Xiao Zhan and his wife were also shocked. Just now, they really sweated for Fu'er, fearing that if the drop of blood fell, the jade pendant would be inseparable, and she would commit treason against the emperor, which was punishable by death.
The moment they saw the jade pendant split apart, they were stunned. Only the blood of a saint could separate the jade pendant, and now Feller's blood had truly separated it. Could it be that Feller was really the regent king's biological daughter Was everything before just Ge'er's design Was Ge'er their real daughter
Even Feng Wuji was shocked. Based on the information he had gathered over the past few months, combined with the National Teacher's deduction, and the feeling he got when he first saw Xiao Yuge, he had already concluded that Xiao Yuge was his biological daughter. Yet, he hadn't expected things to turn out like this. Could it be that Xiao Yu'er was truly his biological daughter
"Lady of the County!" Taking advantage of everyone's surprise, An Ling by Xiao Yu Fu's side quickly stepped forward with a handkerchief to tend to the wound on her mistress's palm. She also took the opportunity to swiftly tuck something into her sleeve.
But this scene happened to fall into Xiao Yuge's eyes. She seemed to understand something. If she exposed it at this time, Xiao Yufu's scheme would fail. Although she didn't know why Xiao Yufu did this, once exposed, it would be a disaster for the entire Xiangfu. She could ignore Xiao Yufu's life and death, but she couldn't disregard Xiao Zhan and his wife. After all, the Xiao family had raised her, she couldn't repay kindness with resentment.
Thus, a perfectly good wedding came to an abrupt end. Neither of the couples managed to complete their final bow, and the marriage wouldn't be considered valid. Everything went back to square one, even worse than before.
The Silver Moon Princess's identity was exposed, and the emperor immediately ordered her to be moved into a hostel, then to be sent back to Tianzhu Country on a chosen day; while Xiao Yufu was also regarded as Feng Wuji's daughter.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I delayed you..." Xiao Yu Ge faced her senior brother, her heart filled with guilt. If it weren't for her, perhaps her senior brother and Yue would already be married.
"Little sister, you don't need to feel guilty. Perhaps this is just fate." Hè Míng sighed softly. As early as when the King had said he wanted them to get married, he had anticipated this day, but both he and the King were going with a trial-and-error attitude. Maybe they would succeed after all.
"Senior Brother, are you really going to give up like this" Xiao Yuge knew that Senior Brother cared deeply about A Yue, and A Yue felt the same way. It was truly unfair that heaven would separate these two people who loved each other so much.
Once Ah Yue was sent back to Tianzhu, then this life would be the last time she could see her senior brother.
"No! I will not give up!" He Ming was able to befriend Qian Tingxuan because they both had an unshakeable belief called persistence, just as Qian Tingxuan would not give up Ge'er, he would not give up Yue.
"In a few days, Am Yue will be sent back to Tianzhu..." Xiao Yu Ge couldn't help but worry deeply. If her senior brother didn't give up, and Am Yue was forced to return to Tianzhu for political marriage for her own country, then what would they do in the future.
Hēnmíng pursed her lips: "My master just sent a letter saying that I should go see my father and him face-to-face. He said there was something important to tell me, so I'll go see them first. Little junior sister, you find some time to accompany yuè, and tell her to wait for me!"
"Well, okay."
"Little apprentice sister, you go and see the Wangye first. He just returned from the imperial palace, and his heart is not feeling well." He Ming also felt sorry for Xiao Yuge, a young age yet had to bear so much. Originally, she could be in love with Wangye without any worries, but there were so many people who didn't want them together. Compared to them, the obstacles between him and Yue were seemingly less.
"Mmm." Xiao Yuge nodded, turned her head and walked out of Tingfeng Courtyard. She knew that this wedding was something Qian Tingxuan had been looking forward to for a long time. She originally thought they could pull it off, but who would have thought, fate is fate, they were powerless to resist.
"Your Highness..." Ming Yang just walked out of the main courtyard and ran into Xiao Yuge, hurriedly stepping forward to pay his respects.
"And him" Xiao Yuge glanced inside.
"The Master is inside." Mingyang's face was full of worry, but as a subordinate, he truly didn't know what to do. Perhaps the only thing that could now calm the Wangye down was the Madam.
"Mingyang, go to Mingzhufu and tell Qingluo that I'll be back late. If anyone asks for me, say I'm not here. Do not allow anyone to enter Mingzhufu."
"Okay." Mingyang nodded and turned to leave.
Xiao Yuge walked into the courtyard and casually closed the gate. Inside Qian Tingxuan's main hall, ordinary people couldn't enter, and even servants weren't allowed. Usually, it was Fu Bo, the head steward, who came in to clean with his deaf-mute daughter. Besides her, no one dared to enter. Even simple tasks like serving tea and water were personally done by Ming Yang.new that Mingyang wouldn't come to disturb him in the middle of the night for no reason, unless something had happened.As expected, the moment he opened the door, Ming Yang rushed to report, "Master,...
