Chapter 177 Prince Xun

Chapter 177 Prince Xun

Song Shiwei frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean he can't come back? Is he dead like my mother?"

"No."

Ye Xun'an said: "He is not dead, but he is almost dead."

He sighed and asked her, "I wonder if your mother left any words for my father before she passed away?"

Song Shiwei shook her head.

Ye Xun'an looked visibly lonely. This was the only thought that had kept his father alive over the years.

If my father knew that the woman he loved so much was dead without leaving him a single word, he would probably not be able to hold on.

He lowered his eyes, silently put away the scroll and said, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Ye Xun'an nodded slightly and was about to leave with the scroll, when he heard a man's voice behind him: "Your Highness, please stay."

He paused and looked back hesitantly.

Xiao Jingheng patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Your Highness, please make your words clear before you leave."

Ye Xun'an frowned. He felt that this person was extraordinary just now, but he didn't expect that he could tell his identity at a glance.

Doesn’t he dress like a Nanli person?

He asked, "How did you figure that out?"

Qin Yueyao reacted, she stared at Ye Xun'an with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Are you the prince of Bei Ming?"

The Ye family is the royal family of Beiming, so the "Ye" in Ye Xun'an's name actually means "Ye" in the darkness.

No wonder she couldn’t find him no matter what she did, it turned out that he was the prince of Bei Ming.

Ye Xun'an said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, but I can't reveal my identity in the capital."

Qin Yueyao felt a little complicated. She said, "I know."

She asked Xiao Jingheng: "My Lord, how did you know?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "Others may not know the name of the crown prince of Bei Ming, but I grew up in the border area and know a little about Bei Ming's affairs. I have heard of the name of Crown Prince Xun."

Prince Xun of Beiming was famous and handsome at a young age.

Although Xiao Jingheng had never seen Ye Xun'an, his temperament was very consistent with his name.

What's more, he had long suspected that Qingqing's father was from the royal family of Beiming.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness Prince Ling. Nice to meet you. I have heard of your name in Bei Ming and have long wanted to see you."

Ye Xun'an greeted him politely, and he asked, "What do you want to know?"

Xiao Jingheng said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince only said half of what he said just now. Since this matter concerns my mother-in-law, Your Highness the Crown Prince should make it clear."

Ye Xun'an raised his eyebrows, it turned out that this was the sweetheart of Song Shiwei that Qin Yueyao mentioned.

He said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

Because this matter concerns the destiny of their Beiming nation, he cannot tell outsiders casually.

Song Shiwei asked: "Why not, do you know what happened to my mother because of him?

If he hadn't broken his promise and never returned, my mother wouldn't have died at such a young age.

You only said half of what you said. How can I explain this to my mother?"

Ye Xun'an's eyes were heavy. He said, "I will explain the reason to your mother in person in front of her grave. As for the others, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Seeing his firm attitude, Song Shiwei took out the jade pendant her mother left her and said, "What if I say that I am your father's biological daughter?"

Ye Xun'an was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the jade pendant in Song Shiwei's hand and took it to have a look with some excitement: "Are you my father's daughter?"

Qin Yueyao on the side stared at Song Shiwei blankly, and after a long while she said, "Shiwei, this can't be a joke."

Song Shiwei said: "I'm not kidding, Song Moting is not my biological father, and what he said in the Dali Temple that day was true.

When my mother married him, she was already pregnant. She married Song Moting for me."

Qin Yueyao was so shocked that she spoke, and Ye Xun'an was a little excited.

He heard from his father that he and Xu Miaoshu were already husband and wife.

Moreover, he had felt that Song Shiwei's eyes were a bit like his before, and it turned out that it was not just his illusion.

"Are you really my sister?"

Ye Xun'an was extremely happy. If Song Shiwei was really his father's daughter, he would definitely be very happy.

Song Shiwei said with a straight face: "Tell me the truth first, and then I will decide whether to acknowledge you as my brother."

Ye Xun'an did not doubt it, because he knew that Song Shiwei would not joke about her mother's reputation. He nodded and said, "Okay."

Xiao Jingheng said: "Let's go in and talk."

He extended his hand in invitation.

Qin Yueyao reacted and said, "What you are talking about must be very important. I'd better stay outside to keep watch for you."

Ye Xun'an refused to explain the whole story before, but now he agreed because Song Shiwei is his sister, and she is at best an outsider, so it is not easy for her to shamelessly go over and eavesdrop.

Ye Xun'an looked back at her and said, "It's okay, let's go together."

Qin Yueyao smiled and followed happily.

The four of them sat down at the table in the room, and Song Shiwei poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ye Xun'an.

Ye Xun'an returned the jade pendant to Song Shiwei and asked, "Do you know who your father is?"

Song Shiwei picked up the jade pendant and shook her head: "I don't know, my life story was not told to me by my mother, but by Aunt Feng, the maidservant beside my mother.

But apart from his name, she doesn't know who my father is. Aunt Feng said that my father might be a liar. "

Ye Xun'an's eyebrows sank: "He is not a liar. He dreams of coming back to find your mother. Unfortunately, he can't come back."

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then began to talk about his father's past.

"His name is Ye Lanze, and he does not exist in the genealogy of the Beiming Ye clan's royal family."

Song Shiwei frowned and said, "Does this mean that he is a member of the Beiming royal family, but is not on the family tree?"

"Yes, he was abandoned since he was born and shouldn't have lived in this world."

Ye Xun'an sighed: "He is the seventh son of the late emperor.

Back then, my great-grandmother gave birth to twins, which was considered a bad omen in our Beiming. According to the rules, the younger of the twins would be executed at birth.

The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to part with the child, so she secretly sent him out of the palace.

From then on, he, who was supposed to be a prince, became a dead man who could not see the light of day.

He had been living in hiding until he was ten years old, but his face, which was exactly the same as the prince's, was ultimately a hidden danger.

So the Empress Dowager had him taken away from Beiming and came to Nanli.

From then on, he lived in the northern border of Nanli until he met your mother in Jinzhou.

He thought he had found the person he could spend his life with, but fate played a huge joke on him.

Not long after he and your mother became engaged, he received a letter from Bei Ming, saying that his mother was critically ill and asked him to return home as soon as possible. "
