Regardless of whether it was the middle of the night, Xiao Qitian quickly got up from the bed and ran to the palace, waking up Xiao Qifeng who was already sleeping.
Xiao Qifeng, who was woken up just after falling asleep, looked at Xiao Qitian with an ugly face and said angrily: "You damn boy, you can't talk about anything in the middle of the night."
Xiao Qitian shrank his neck and said with some fear: "Brother, how about... how about you continue to rest? I... I'd better go back first."
"Stop and tell me why you came to me." Xiao Qifeng gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Qitian. This brat wanted to slip away like this after waking him up.
Xiao Qitian swallowed his saliva and said with some fear: "Brother Emperor, I told you not to be angry."
"If you don't say that, I will throw you to the north."
Shrinking his neck, Xiao Qitian thought for a while, and finally said resignedly: "Brother, I have always forgotten to tell you something, and it is very important."
"Tell the important point."
"Meng Yao is our sister, either a relative or a cousin."
Xiao Qifeng's anger was extinguished in an instant. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Qitian: "What do you mean?"
"I have known about this before. Behind Mengyao's ears, there is a birthmark that is unique to our Xiao family. It is exactly the same as yours and mine. I had planned to tell you that day, but something suddenly interrupted me. I forgot about it." If he hadn't heard from the people below that Nangong Yan was arriving soon, he wouldn't have thought of it.
Xiao Qifeng looked at Xiao Qitian with a shocked face: "Is what you said true?"
"Yes, and brother, do you still remember Auntie Huang?" Xiao Qitian suddenly said about the eldest princess who had disappeared for more than ten years.
Xiao Qifeng nodded: "Remember, what does it matter?"
"I think Mengyao is probably the child of the emperor's aunt." Xiao Qitian looked at Xiao Qifeng and said seriously.
"What do you know?" Xiao Qifeng squinted at his younger brother, intuitively telling him that he knew something that he didn't know.
"I just learned this not long ago. Aunt Huang was actually pregnant when she disappeared. And do you remember what happened at that time?" Although they were still young at that time, it did not prevent them from still remembering what happened at that time. .
Xiao Qifeng closed his eyes and thought about what happened that year: "Back then, my father wanted my aunt to marry the son of a bachelor, but my aunt opposed it. After that, the regent of Xiao Kingdom suddenly came to propose marriage to my aunt. At that time, my aunt's strong resistance turned into joy..." While recalling, Xiao Qifeng said, and finally his eyes widened: "You mean, Mengyao is probably the regent of Ling Kingdom, Nangong Yan, and my aunt. His biological daughter?"
At that time, it was precisely because the aunt was pregnant and the aunt was unwilling to tell the father of the child that the father wanted to marry the aunt off.
But why did my aunt disappear later, and why did Mengyao end up living outside
Xiao Qifeng thought about Qiao Tianchang knowing about Nangong Yan's arrival, and his expression changed: "Tianchang must know something."
"Go and ask tomorrow." Xiao Qitian nodded and said directly.
Xiao Qifeng nodded: "Go and rest."
After Xiao Qitian left, Xiao Qifeng sat alone in the imperial study with a thoughtful look on his face. He never thought that Ning Mengyao, in addition to being the master of Tongbaozhai Pavilion, had such a noble identity as the regent of Ling Kingdom. The princess of the palace is also the daughter of Princess Xiao.
Such an identity is dazzling enough no matter where it is.
Now Xiao Qifeng is really lucky that Ning Mengyao is Qiao Tianchang's wife, and Qiao Tianchang is their brother.
Early the next morning, Xiao Qifeng and his brothers went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
The two of them were really having breakfast when they passed by. Seeing the sweet looks of the two of them, Xiao Qitian said sadly.
"Can you please stop irritating us single people every day?"
"If you're jealous, you can find someone." Qiao Tianchang glared back.
After the two of them finished eating, Xiao Qifeng said directly: "Tianchang, is Mengyao the daughter of Nangong Yan?"
