Chapter 249: Brother and Sister
Bai Qianxi's eyes were bright. "To prove my innocence, I am willing to stay in the palace temporarily, but I cannot accept imprisonment. I am willing to stay in the palace only to investigate the truth!"

"can."

Emperor Dongli suppressed his inner excitement and nodded calmly.

But everyone could see the change in his attitude. Everyone was puzzled, and Bai Qianxi was also curious.

This matter will be handled like this for now.

Although Bai Qianxi was temporarily left in the palace, Emperor Dongli even specially arranged a palace for her to stay.

Such treatment.

Chu Yingruo felt very unwilling and wanted to say something, but her intuition told her not to do that.

When Madam Zhao saw Emperor Dongli's arrangement, she finally felt relieved. Now Xier would be fine no matter what.

Cheng Shaoyi was still a little worried. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the opportunity. He could only lower his head helplessly. Seeing this, Madam Zhao hurried to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Xi'er will be fine. Besides, His Highness is here. With His Highness here, nothing will happen to her."

She could see clearly that anyone could get into trouble, but Bai Qianxi would not get into trouble. After all...

As for the other ladies and wives of noble families, Emperor Dongli only gave them a warning and then let them leave on their own. He believed that they would not dare to say anything nonsense after returning.

"Why don't you leave? Why are you following me?"

The birthday party for the mother of a country ended so hastily, but no one present dared to say anything more.

Even the queen hurried back to Fengyi Palace after it was over.

Emperor Dongli looked back and saw that everyone had left and he was the only one left here.

"I've said that I won't do anything to her. Instead of you staying here with me, you should go back and investigate who framed her for today's incident."

Emperor Dongli now doesn't seem to be very sad about the death of a prince. Maybe he is sad, but not much.

Under the persuasion of Emperor Dongli, Ye Beiling finally chose to compromise.

"But remember, I'm only letting her stay in the palace temporarily. Remember to send your people to protect her."

If the other party is targeting Xier and failed this time, there may be other tricks.

"Don't worry, I know even if you don't tell me!"

Emperor Dongli looked at his departing back with a complicated expression, his brows furrowed as if he could pinch a few flies to death.

"Your Majesty..." Deyu showed some worry.

He had no idea that Miss Bai's true appearance would be like this under her veil.

If I had known earlier.

"Stop talking and go back."

After a busy day, as evening approached, Emperor Dongli felt even more depressed.

In the study, the candlelight crackled.

Everything is speechless.

"How is it?" Emperor Dongli looked at the secret guards who had returned from the investigation, with a turbulent undercurrent beneath his calm face.

Upon hearing this, the secret guard did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly handed over what he had investigated.

Although it was just a thin piece of paper, the content written on it was extraordinary.

Emperor Dongli looked at the letter in front of him, his expression becoming more and more gloomy. "Why didn't you find out about this before?"

The secret guard lowered his head deeply and dared not speak.

"Forget it, you go down and receive your punishment." Emperor Dongli waved his hand, and the secret guards quickly retreated.

This piece of paper recorded all of Bai Qianxi's experiences in the Bai family over the years, as well as her birth date. In addition to her, Bai Qianxi's mother's experience was also on it. Even if the secret guards didn't know anything, they could probably guess what happened.

And Bai Yan is really brave. I'm afraid he never thought that one day such a disaster would befall him.

After reading it carefully, Emperor Dongli lit the letter in his hand with a candle. These things should not be revealed to the outside world.

But he never expected that Aju would actually give birth to a daughter for him.

"Why? A'ru, you had such a hard time those years and you didn't even want to come to me. Is it really that difficult for you to just lower your head?" A murmur sounded.

……

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door outside.

Bai Qianxi looked outside the house in confusion. She was still sorting out the details of what happened today.

This incident seems to be such a coincidence, but Bai Qianxi believes that there must be a thread behind all the coincidences that connects them all, but she has not found it yet.

"Who?"

"It's me."

Bai Qianxi opened the door and the face of Emperor Dongli came into view.

Seeing that it was him, Bai Qianxi was a little surprised, "Your Majesty, you came here at this time. Did you find any new clues?"

"No, I just wanted to come and see you." Emperor Dongli shook his head slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him, unwilling to let go.

Now, Bai Qianxi was even more confused, and her mind couldn't help but think of the complicated look the other party gave her during the day today.

It is absolutely impossible that he came here because the other party suspected that he was the murderer.

Looking at the obvious doubt in Bai Qianxi's eyes, Emperor Dongli actually knew that he shouldn't have come so early.

However, whenever he thought of Aju, he wanted to come over and see her again. This child looked so much like Aju.

It was simply carved out of a mold.

After a brief silence, Emperor Dongli finally spoke, "There is something I want to tell you. I wonder if you have ever doubted your own life experience?"

"This, I..."

Bai Qianxi thought of ten thousand reasons, but she didn't expect the other party to suddenly speak like this.

"You must have suspected it, right, child?" Seeing the change in her expression, Emperor Dongli said firmly, "In fact, your suspicion is correct. You are indeed not Bai Yan's biological child."

"What do you mean?"

"You look a lot like your mother, but you're more lively..."

what!
"Do you know my mother?" Bai Qianxi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"She and I have known each other since we were young. We played and grew up together. We did a lot of things together! But one day she disappeared! For so many years, I have been looking for her! But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find her. I know she blames me for not allowing her to be together for the rest of her life! But...but I am the emperor!"

As Emperor Dongli spoke, his face was filled with indelible melancholy and sadness.

Bai Qianxi couldn't help but take two steps back, clenched her fingers, and spoke with difficulty after a long time.

"So...so I am..." your child?
In the end, she didn't have the courage to say the last few words.

Thinking of Ye Beiyi and looking at her expression, Emperor Dongli felt reluctant, but he finally nodded.

"I sent people to investigate the previous events, as well as your birth date and your mother's personality. It turns out that you are my daughter." Emperor Dongli's eyes were bright and his nose was slightly sour. "Child, it's all my fault that I didn't find you earlier. That's why you have to suffer so much!"

As he said this, he was about to move forward, but Bai Qianxi retreated even faster, "No, it's impossible... How could it be..."

Bai Qianxi shook her head and murmured.
