nChapter 72 – Unknown Secret

nHelian Yi looked at the anxious Mu Ziyan in the blink of an eye as her cold gaze slowly softened.

nAfter a moment of silence, Helian Yi asked in a hoarse voice: “Mufei, do you remember that your good sister Nangong Ruoxi that you mentioned to me before?”

nMu Ziyan suddenly heard Helian Yi mention this name, and looked around warily. Seeing this, Helian Yi told her:

nWu Shang stayed outside, so mufei could be at ease. Hearing Helian Yi’s words, Mu Ziyan nodded and asked curiously.

n

n

n“Yi’er, why did you ask about this?”

n“I saw Mo Youyou a few days ago, and he never left.” Thinking about Mo Youyou’s playful and beautiful figure, somewhere in Helian Yi’s heart, there was only softness. He hadn’t thought that, as her uncle, he would actually want to be married to her.

nMu Ziyan’s heart tightened. “Yi’er, you didn’t tell her about her background, right?”

n“Nope.”

n“It’s good that there’s nothing at all.” After she finished speaking, Mu Ziyan took a deep breath, looked at Helian Yi, and said with a calm voice.

n

n

n“Back then, mother did not intend to save Nangong Ruoxi and thought that she was an ordinary girl. However, when she gave birth to Xiao’er, before she died, she told me about her origins.

nThat’s why I spent a year on the mountain. When I was just one year old, Mother brought her to the Ming You Kingdom to set up her usual tools, but didn’t expect to meet your royal father. ”

nHelian Yi looked at his mother, staring blankly at her for a moment as he listened to her continue.

n“Your royal father forcefully brought me into the Imperial Palace, and had me be raised by a farmer as well. Every month, I would make an excuse to leave the palace to see that child. Later on, I would have you to go to the palace, so I didn’t go as often as before.

nUntil one day Norrell and the farmer’s family suddenly disappeared. I thought something happened to them and I felt sorry for her for two years. However, she suddenly appeared in my palace and told me that she had a daughter who sent her to General Mo’s Residence. ”

nWhen Helian Yi heard Mu Ziyan’s words, a fierce look flashed past his eyes.

n“Mufei means that Mo Youyou is Nangong Nuo’s daughter.”

n

n

nMu Ziyan nodded, “Mn, I sent many people to investigate this matter back then.”

nAfter she finished speaking, Mu Ziyan was a little surprised, “Yi’er, these matters are already over. Mother does not want anyone to investigate her again.”

nMu Ziyan’s words could be considered a reminder, and could be considered a command. Helian Yi naturally understood mufei’s meaning, he nodded and agreed with Mu Ziyan. Thinking about the marriage with Mo Youyou, he opened his mouth and said:

n“Mufei, Helian Honglie bestowed this son and Youyou with a marriage, and the day will be the end of the marriage.”

nHearing Helian Yi’s words, Mu Ziyan was stunned. Her body trembled uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word.

nShe remembered that Nangong Nuo’s maidservant had mentioned that in order to avenge sher mother Nangong Ruoxi, Nangong Nuo had sneaked into the Imperial Palace to seduce her on the birthday of his Emperor. The two spent the night together before Nangong Nuo left, and later on, he became pregnant with the child of the Emperor.

nAt that time, she was very shocked, Nangong Nuo was Helian Honglie’s daughter! How could she seduce her own father into doing something so unethical? But to think of her hatred! The hatred of the entire Southern Wasteland, was gradually eased by Mu Ziyan. Perhaps, Nangong Nuo just wanted Helian Honglie to make him regret his actions in the future and be scolded by the people of the world!

nThis matter was like a knife, and whenever she thought of it, her heart would feel as if it were being stabbed by a knife, causing her heart to ache.

n

n

nThinking about what Helian Yi had just said, Mu Ziyan’s heart burned with anxiety. Emperor actually gave the marriage to Mo Youyou and her son.

nHow could siblings marry?

nThinking about that, Mu Ziyan anxiously stopped Helian Yi, “No, no! You cannot marry Mo Youyou! “No way!”

nSeeing Mu Ziyan being so flustered, Helian Yi frowned, “Mufei, why? royal father’s order has been given, this son cannot disobey it. ”

n“You must accept this decree!”

nHelian Yi was puzzled, but his heart started to become nervous. Only his mother knew about Mo Youyou’s background, and now she was stopping them from being together. Could it be that there was some other secret? Or, was she afraid of the people from the Southern Wasteland?

n“You do not have to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself.” Mufei, I’ve come to see you today, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again. royal father ordered me to make a trip to the Tong Li Kingdom, so I came to bid you farewell. ”

nAfter he finished speaking, Helian Yi turned and was about to leave, but just as she walked to the door, she heard Mu Ziyan say in a very soft voice:

n“You and her are blood-related siblings! Yi’er …

nHelian Yi’s body shook violently. The veins on his fists bulged. He turned his head to look at Mu Ziyan and replied in a low voice:

n

n

n“Is mufei joking with me?”

nMu Ziyan ran in a few steps to stand in front of Helian Yi, tightly grabbed onto his arm with both of his hands, and said with teary eyes:

n“Yi’er, you are siblings! Sister-in-law! Mother has sent people to investigate, Nangong Nuo is not only your royal father’s daughter, her daughter is also her! This is the shame of the Helian Family! ”

nSeeing the anger and hatred in Mu Ziyan’s eyes when she brought up this matter, Helian Yi did not want to believe what her mother had said.

n“Mufei, how did you know about this? Who told you that? Nangong Nuo? ” Helian Yi didn’t believe that the woman who hated Helian Honglie to the bones would bear a child for him!

nMu Ziyan sneered, her body slowly retreating, she muttered to herself: “Dead! All dead! Hehe… I ordered people to kill everyone who knew about it! Other than Nangong Nuo, everyone else is dead … ”

nWith that, he sat paralyzed on the ground with a mocking smile on his face.

nIf she had not been forcefully brought into the palace, her beloved man might not have died because of her. She also hated Helian Yi for his ruthlessness. It was just that she could never accept that he doted on her own daughter, so Mu Ziyan chose to live in the Qing He Palace.

nAfter a long while, Helian Yi left a message: “I will clearly investigate everything that happened that year.” Then he left the Qing He Palace.

nIt was already too late for Mu Ziyan to stop her. She could only hope that her son would not take the wrong path …

nAfter Helian Yi left the Qing He Palace, his face was so dark that Wu Shang was afraid. The Master had always been cold and proud, but ever since he had left the Qing He Palace, his killing intent caused people to feel fear.

nThey followed closely behind Helian Yi, and even the sound of their footsteps became softer than usual, afraid of disturbing the Master.

nIn Prince Jing’s Manor’s room, Mo Youyou had already gone back to sleep. Yue Er stood guard outside the door and yawned, seeing that Master was resting, she covered her mouth and closed her eyes, then headed back to her own residence.

nAfter Helian Yi returned to Prince Jing’s Manor, he did not go to Northern Courtyard. Instead, he went to the southern courtyard with a dark expression.

nIn the dark night, Wu Shang and Falcon looked at each other.
