Chapter 273 Yingying mistook someone for someone else
Once inside the palace, everyone walked, except for the one who rode a motorcycle during the leap month. The delegation members walked and admired the scenery inside the palace.
Just then, a tricycle came along another road. Jingxue knew who it was without even looking, except that the Emperor Emeritus and Eunuch Xi looked like two old monsters with their hair all messed up by the wind.
Especially Eunuch Xi, whose originally fair face had darkened considerably in just two days. The Emperor Emeritus was not as noticeably dark, as he was not particularly fair-skinned to begin with.
Upon seeing the Emperor Emeritus, the leap month child excitedly exclaimed, "Uncle Emperor Emeritus, Eunuch Xi, hello!"
Then look at the retired emperor, one hand holding the handlebars, the other raised and waved left and right. He was indeed a king who once ruled the world, and his "style" was incredibly cool!
Behind him, Grandpa Xi, like a shy little girl, waved her small hand quickly before grabbing the handrail.
The leap month followed suit, raising one hand and waving it vigorously.
Seeing this, Jingxue smiled and said to Ye Muchen beside her, "Your dad is really something! He even makes riding a tricycle look so stylish!"
Ye Muchen was already used to Jingxue's language, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
The square in front of Qingyang Palace was too big and offered no shelter from the wind. Jingxue felt that the wind was stronger than outside the city.
Upon arriving at the gate of the East Palace, the routine check was still conducted.
After passing through the gate, the wind seemed to be stronger than before. After taking only a few steps, Yingying suddenly let go of Jingxue's hand and ran forward quickly, calling out "Mother! Mother!"
Jingxue didn't know what was wrong with the child, but she saw that Yingying was running towards the Nanzhao princess.
Because there were still items brought by the Nanzhao delegation to be inspected, not everyone passed through this gate, but those who did were all drawn to Yingying.
Jingxue quickly chased after it. The leopard even growled, its two front paws gripping the ground, its back arched, looking as if it was about to pounce at any moment.
Fortunately, Yingying's legs were short, and Jingxue caught her after only a few steps. "Yingying, what's wrong?"
"Sister, that's my mother! I want my mother!" Yingying cried out as she reached out her hands even though Jingxue was holding her.
Jingxue's mind raced. Could the Nanzhao princess be An'an and Yingying's mother?
An'an's uncle once said that An'an's mother was named "Nan Yuan," while this princess of Nanzhao was named "Lan Yuan." In Nanzhao, "Lan" was the royal surname. What a coincidence!
At this moment, the Nanzhao princess adjusted her veil. It turned out that her veil had been blown off by the wind. The Nanzhao princess also looked at Yingying, whose beautiful brows were furrowed.
"Little girl, you've mistaken me for someone else!" Her voice was very pleasant, gentle and soft, but Jingxue felt as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
Yingying burst into tears, "Mother, it's me, Yingbao! Mother, don't you want me and my brother anymore? Yingbao misses Mother! Waaah..."
"Yingying, don't cry, be good! That's not your mother!" Jingxue picked up the little girl and gently coaxed her.
Ye Muchen then stepped forward and said to the delegation, "Our child has mistaken someone for someone else! Everyone, please go inside and rest!"
No one in the delegation said anything; they turned and continued walking forward.
Upon arriving at Yichun Palace, Jingxue led her people inside, while Ye Muchen and his brothers led the delegation to make their way.
The Yichun Palace was still staffed with the same eunuchs and maids as before. Jingxue carried Yingying, who was still sobbing, into the main hall.
"Xiaoman, Liqiu, go and tidy up the room!" Jingxue said, putting Yingying on a chair.
"Yes!"
After Runyue finished packing up the car, she followed them in. "Yingying, that's a foreigner, not your mother."
Yingying stubbornly shook her head. "She is my mother. My mother has a little tuft on her ear, and she has one too."
After hearing Yingying's words, Jingxue was also not calm. It seemed that she needed to get to the bottom of this matter.
“Yingying, there are many similar people in this world. Just because someone has a little chick doesn’t mean she’s your mother. She’s already said she’s not your mother, so she definitely isn’t. If she were your mother, how could she not recognize you? Don’t you agree?”
The little girl pouted, about to cry again, "Our Yingying is the best girl. She'll find your mother and your father in the future. You believe me, okay?"
Yingying's eyes were filled with tears, but she still nodded. The tears flowed down her face as she did so, and Jingxue took out a tissue to wipe them clean for her with heartache.
After appeasing the little girl, Jingxue gave her and Runyue a lot of delicious food.
Soon, Ye Muchen and Ye Musi arrived.
Seeing Yingying eating, Ye Muchen swallowed back his questions. There were still tear stains on the girl's face; it was best not to bring it up again.
"Is everything settled?" Jingxue asked.
"Yes! They're staying at Yidong Palace too. We're leaving now, so perhaps we shouldn't bring the children to the banquet?" Ye Muchen glanced at Yingying.
"It's alright now. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her here anyway. I've already explained it to her, and she's a very good girl."
"Alright then! Be careful, there are Golden Armor Guards outside, call them if anything happens," Ye Muchen said.
"Don't worry! I'll see you out!"
"it is good!"
After seeing Ye Muchen and the others off, Jingxue began to use her special abilities to investigate the Nanzhao delegation.
Inside the Yidong Palace, the great shaman, dressed in strange clothes and with a mysterious expression, was intently applying acupuncture to the head of the Nanzhao princess, who was sitting upright on the bed.
At this moment, the Nanzhao princess had removed the thin veil that had been covering her face, revealing her true appearance. Her eyes were tightly closed, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were pursed, as if she was enduring great pain.
Jingxue looked at her face carefully. Speaking of appearance, An'an and Yingying did look somewhat like Li Jun.
However, the only resemblance between her and the Nanzhao princess is in their eyes.
"Princess, are you feeling better?" the high wizard asked.
The princess slowly exhaled and gently opened her eyes. "Wizard, why does my headache persist? I feel like I've forgotten so many things. When will I be able to remember them? That little girl today looked so familiar!"
“Princess, they are from Beiye. Perhaps the child is just cute!” said a maid beside her.
"Alas! If it weren't for my father's advanced age, I wouldn't have needed to make this trip." A hint of helplessness and weariness was revealed in her beautiful eyes.
The high wizard said, “Princess, you must be tired after the long journey and the dry climate here. After you finish the acupuncture, please rest well and don’t think about anything else. We still have to meet with the Emperor of Beiye tonight! Don’t forget why we’ve come all this way.”
"All right!"
Jingxue withdrew her supernatural power. It seems she needs to get close to her and get a strand of her hair for a paternity test. Nothing is more accurate than a paternity test.
Looking at Yingying, who had already started playing with Runyue, even though she was just a child, she hadn't mistaken anyone for someone else in all this time. Why was it the Nanzhao princess in particular?
