"I believe you won't!" The corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth raised slightly as she spoke with a voice brimming with trust.
"For a moment, I wanted to work with him." Seeing the trust in Xia Sizhu's eyes, Xi Ling Yan somewhat shamefully lowered his head.
"It's just that when I thought about what happened to my mother later on, it was all because of her. I can't let my eyes be blinded by hatred."
Xi Ling Yan raised his eyes once again. His eyes were filled with determination.
"Although Imperial Father doesn't love Mother, this crown prince is very kind. Beitang hates Mother, but he has never hated this crown prince either. How can this prince be a wolf and bite back at them? "
Xi Ling Yan's voice was faint, but it made people feel that he was determined.
Hearing this, the corners of Xia Sizhu's mouth curled up. She had indeed not believed in the wrong person.
"Little beauty, when are you planning to recognize your ancestors?" Xi Ling Yan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Si Zhu.
From another point of view, it was actually much easier for him now that his mother had left. He no longer needed to be between his mother and the little beauty.
He no longer needed to force himself to do things that he did not like in order to make his mother happy.
"Let's talk about this later. Do you know this?" Xia Si Zhu took out an item from his bosom and placed it in front of Xi Ling Yan.
Xi Ling Yan looked over and saw a small key in Xia Sizhu's palm.
"Why is the mother's key with you?" The moment Xi Ling Yan saw the key, his expression immediately became grave.
"Your mother gave me this before she died." Xia Si Zhu looked at Xi Ling Yan and said.
Then, Xia Sizhu explained how her mother had given her the key.
"This key is for my mother's box. When I was young, I secretly looked at my mother before opening it, and then secretly opened it once.
But I was discovered by the Queen Mother before I got off the car, and after a beating, I never saw this key again. " Xi Ling Yan said indifferently.
"Is the box still with you?" Xia Si Zhu turned his head to look at Xi Ling Yan.
"In Mother's palace. This crown prince will accompany you to fetch them." Xi Ling Yan's voice was very calm.
"Alright." Xia Sizhu nodded, then returned to the Imperial Palace with Xi Ling Yan.
"This is it." The three of them returned to the empress's sleeping quarters. Xi Ling Yan started to search around, and when Xi Ling Yan found the key, it was as if the entire sleeping quarters had been stolen.
Xi Ling Yan placed the box on the table. Xia Si Zhu inserted the key into the keyhole and gently turned the box to open it.
Xia Sizhu took out the contents of the paper and looked at it with a twinkle in her eyes.
These papers were evidence that the Empress had looted money for Winged King over the years, as well as evidence that Winged King had sold weapons on his own.
"Winged King definitely didn't know that the Queen would actually do all this behind his back." After Xia Sizhu finished reading the paper in her hand, she sighed softly and said.
"With these, we have the Winged King's weakness." Xi Ling Yan said with a twinkle in his eyes.
In fact, if not for the Winged King, the Queen Mother would never have embarked on this path.
"Although there is evidence, we cannot act rashly. Otherwise, the Winged King will be driven into desperation. Judging from the documents written here, the private soldiers that the Winged King has are not inferior to his father."
Xi Ling Yan thought for a moment and said. He didn't know that the Wings King had raised so many private soldiers.
How much money would it take to raise it? Why did the Winged King get so much silver?
"We can't act rashly." Xia Sizhu nodded in agreement.
"Let this be kept by you, little beauty. It is not safe for you to leave it with this crown prince."
Xi Ling Yan closed the box once more and then solemnly handed it to Xia Sizhu.
"Yes, I'll keep it for you first." Xia Sizhu blinked and stared blankly for a moment before accepting the box.
"Little beauty, when are you planning to recognize your ancestors?" After the matter was resolved, Xi Ling Yan asked.
"I don't care about that. Let's just watch the emperor!" Xia Si Zhu thought for a moment before replying.
"Can this crown prince not call you little beauty anymore?" Xi Ling Yan suddenly didn't want to call Xia Si Zhu for his sister.
"If you don't like it, you can continue calling her 'little beauty'." Xia Si Zhu saw the thought in Xi Ling Yan's eyes and said with a smile.
"This crown prince will continue to call you little beauty." The corners of Xi Ling Yan's mouth curled up.
"Little beauty, how about you acknowledge me as your ancestor and place me in your place?"
Xi Ling Yan suddenly said, "Since the people from the three kingdoms are all back, why don't we all come together? It's convenient and good.
"This way, when this prince ascends the throne, there will be someone to accompany him. This prince feels that it's pretty good. Little beauty, what do you think?"
Xi Ling Yan looked at Xia Sizhu with anticipation. If he and Xia Sizhu could go together, he might even look forward to the enthronement ceremony.
"Mm, I'll tell the emperor later." Xia Sizhu lowered her head in thought for a moment before speaking.
At night, Xia Sizhu was nestled in Dongfang Ye's arms, while Dongfang Ye was using his own inner force to dry Xia Sizhu's hair.
Xia Sizhu squinted her eyes, enjoying the service of Dongfang Ye. In the quiet night, a gentle breeze blew over, filling the air with Dongfang Ye's dragon saliva fragrance.
The corner of Dongfang Ye's mouth rose as he looked at Xia Sizhu's impeccable appearance.
At this very moment, the scene was extremely fascinating!
"Ah Zhu." Dongfang Ye looked at the sleeping Xia Sizhu and called out softly.
"Yes." Xia Sizhu indifferently replied.
"Do you think the words of the Rising Sun Western Flame are trustworthy?" Dongfang Ye's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Xia Sizhu.
"I believe him." Xia Sizhu's tone was very calm, but Dongfang Ye could hear her determination.
"Ah Zhu, why have I worked so hard for so long, and why haven't you gotten pregnant?"
Dongfang Ye looked at the enjoying expression of Xia Sizhu as he spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"…" Xia Sizhu's eyebrows twitched. She didn't want to bother with this crazy man who wanted to go crazy.
"Ah Zhu, did I not put in enough effort?" Dongfang Ye saw that Xia Sizhu ignored him, and he spoke faintly.
"…" Xia Sizhu continued to ignore Dongfang Ye.
"But this grandpa was obviously very hardworking! How about we continue to work hard, Ah Zhu? "
Dongfang Ye had a depressed expression at first, but then the corner of his mouth slowly raised into a smile.
The hand that was drying Xia Sizhu's hair also slowly began to move from her head to her body.
"Pah!" The moment Dongfang Ye moved, Xia Sizhu opened her eyes and slapped her irregular hands.
"Speak honestly, don't think about such useless things." Xia Sizhu unhappily said.
"Why is it useless? This grandpa has been working so hard for so long and still hasn't been able to get a single child out. This grandpa really doubts this grandpa's ability!"
Dongfang Ye was truly depressed. He had tried so hard when they weren't married yet, but why was there no movement from A Zhu's stomach?
"Hmm, you worked hard enough. Yesterday, you shamelessly climbed onto my bed. It would be strange if you could have children today!"
She didn't take Dongfang Ye's words to heart at all.
