From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Bai Yanli stood there motionless. He knew from a young age that he was fostered in the Bai family. The Bai family also knew about it.

To give him a good environment for growth.

The Bai family never mentioned his identity to anyone inside or outside the family, and only treated him as the real second son of the Bai family.

He has been in Beijing for two years.

His biological father, Emperor Zhou, had never shown any sign of love for him, but now he asked him to come and recognize his relatives.

Bai Yanli just found it ridiculous.

I don’t know how to say the word “father” out of my mouth.

Faced with Li Bo's reminder, Bai Yanli did not change his words, as if he did not hear the implication of Li Bo's words, and just stood there as if he heard nothing.

Emperor Zhou was stunned, but he understood in his heart. After all, he had lived among the common people for so long. It would definitely be difficult for him to call him father if he was suddenly asked to do so.

He needs time.

As his father, he can give him this time.

Emperor Zhou realized that Bai Yanli's visit to Longquan Temple was not planned in advance but was really an accidental encounter.

His affection for Bai Yanli has doubled.

Whether or not he changed his words immediately did not affect his attitude towards Bai Yanli.

Emperor Zhou also has a purpose for coming here today.

Now the court is in turmoil, he needs someone to stand by his side to assist him. Bai Yanli has been kept outside.

Although he is not considered a confidant.

But when he rescued the emperor at Longquan Temple, he seemed smart and wise, and his eyes revealed a longing for the missing father-son relationship.

Just based on this point, people can use it with peace of mind.

So the purpose of Emperor Zhou’s visit this time is to get Bai Yanli’s help!

"Yan Li. I have been very busy with official duties in the past two years, and I feel that my health is not as good as before. So even though I know you have been in Beijing for two years, I have not found the time to visit you. Please don't take it to heart."

"Your Majesty works hard for the country and his family. Yanli is of humble status and dare not take it to heart." Bai Yanli said respectfully.

Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "Li'er, I am going out incognito today, on the one hand, to celebrate the birthday of King Wei, and on the other hand, to find you."

"You have been away for many years, and I owe you a lot. Fortunately, it is not too late, and I still have a chance to make up for your shortcomings. I wonder if you are willing to follow me back to the palace, accompany me, and help me solve my problems?"

After he said this, there was silence in the room.

Suddenly, Bai Yanli knelt down and shouted, "Yanli admits his guilt, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Prince Wei’s Palace, outside the bamboo forest.

Tang Wanru was standing outside the bamboo forest, listening to the conversation between Zhou Ziyue and Tang Yueer.

She was not wrong, the child was not Bai Yanli's.

She didn't expect that someone in her previous life was even more miserable than her. At the same time, she also felt a little strange. From what she knew, this Bai Yanli didn't seem like someone who could raise a child for others?

As he was thinking this, he saw Tang Yue'er retreating in shock in the bamboo forest.

Tang Yue'er couldn't understand at all why Zhou Ziyue wanted to keep the child.

"Prince, what you said before about protecting me, keeping me safe, and making me happy in this life were all lies, right?" Tang Yue'er's face turned pale. "You want me to give birth to your child? How can I be safe?"

"How am I going to get married later?"

"If the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is found guilty, and they investigate, I'll find out that I'm raising your child. How can you let me escape?"

"Aren't you harming me?" She said as she backed away, as if Zhou Ziyue in front of her no longer recognized her, and had become a jackal, tiger or leopard.

"Yuer!" Zhou Ziyue pressed her shoulders again to calm her down. "Since I asked you to give birth to this child, I will naturally not let him get involved. I will also do my best to keep you safe. You don't have to worry about that."

Tang Yue'er's eyes were full of confusion: "Sir, what on earth are you thinking?"

"Yuer." Zhou Ziyue looked at her affectionately, "The child is the fruit of our love, and also the blood of the Yongning Marquisate. He must stay."

Tang Yue'er kept shaking her head.

Zhou Ziyue paused, but a kind of certainty suddenly flashed in his eyes: "What's more, this encounter between me and Yongning Marquis' Mansion may not be a dead end. If I can return by then, but the child is gone, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Return?

Zhou Ziyue's words shocked Tang Yue'er. What is the meaning of return? Where did the return come from?

"What are you talking about, Prince? Are you saying that nothing will happen to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion?" Tang Yue'er asked tentatively.

"Not really." Since things had come to this, Zhou Ziyue simply made things clear to her, "Something will happen, but this may not be the end."

"what?"

Zhou Ziyue held Tang Yue'er's hand, and the two of them sat down next to the bamboo: "Yu'er, the affairs of the court are complicated, and so are the people."

Zhou Ziyue put his arm around her shoulders and said, "The emperor and my father grew up together. When the emperor was not appointed as the crown prince, my father was his confidant. When the emperor led the expedition to the northwest, my father was also his right-hand man. The disability in my father's leg was caused by the injury when he blocked the arrow for the emperor."

"Compared with the contributions of Yongning Marquis' Mansion back then, today's events are nothing."

Tang Yue'er didn't understand the relationships between people. She just felt that Zhou Ziyue spoke very confidently.

"You mean the emperor won't kill you?"

"It's going to be hard for a while," Zhou Ziyue said. "But it's not necessarily a dead end."

What a live or dead game.

Tang Yue'er couldn't figure this out either.

"Prince, what do you think this has to do with keeping this child?" Tang Yue'er asked.

Zhou Ziyue suddenly smiled: "Yuer, leave the child behind. You stay with the child and wait for me to pick you up."

Tang Yue'er's whole body was shaken, her hands curled up in his arms nervously, she had many questions to ask: "Prince."

"Yuer," Zhou Ziyue said, "I will help you get married and give this child a legitimate status. You just need to protect this child during these years. Remember, you have to grit your teeth and get through this period. I won't let you down."

"Prince..." Tang Yue'er was suspicious, but didn't know where to ask.

"Yuer." Zhou Ziyue suddenly looked at her with deep affection. He hadn't seen her for a long time.

Now, at a time when he is in such a desperate situation, he has received such good news.

He was extremely excited and moved!

Gazing at her gentle eyes and eyebrows, he felt his heart beating "thump thump!"

The best one is indeed his Yue'er.

It made him feel that there was still light in this dark life.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyue kissed her lips.

"Prince, what are you doing?" Tang Yue'er was startled. She pushed him away and looked around subconsciously.

"Yuer, I want it once." Zhou Ziyue greedily sniffed the fragrance on her body that he hadn't smelled for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse. As he spoke, he kissed her neck.

"No." We are in a bamboo forest. What if someone sees us?

Hearing her rejection like this, Zhou Ziyue felt very uncomfortable. He held her hand tightly and said, "Just once, quickly, okay?"
