The Imperial Noble Consort? Nangong Yin?
Chu Qing frowned. Why did Nangong Yin suddenly come here?
Wei Ying coldly said, "Since the Imperial Noble Consort has come to see the Emperor, this prince and his princess shall not disturb you two any longer."
Wen Lang smiled and waved his hand, replying, "It's okay. There's no need to be so cautious. After all... she's not an outsider."
Before Wei Ying and Chu Qing could say anything else, Wen Lang had already ordered someone to bring Nangong Yin in.
At this moment, Nangong Yin seemed to be a different person from the one they saw in the pavilion just now.
The person who was crying heart - broken just now seemed to be just an illusion.
When Nangong Yin appeared in front of them again, she had already returned to her beautiful and gentle self in public.
However, when she saw Wei Ying and Chu Qing, her eyes trembled involuntarily.
These two...
Why are they... here!
"I've summoned you because I have something to discuss with you," Wen Lang said as he got up and walked towards Nangong Yin. Then he put his arm around her shoulder and led her closer to Wei Ying and Chu Qing.
Nangong Yin forced a smile and said softly, "Your servant is just a woman. What important matter does Your Majesty need to discuss with your servant? Everything shall be decided by Your Majesty."
Wen Lang seemed very happy. He smiled and said, "My love, what do you think of the young Prince Ning?"
Nangong Yin was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. She looked at Wei Ying with a smile and said, "The Prince Ning is, of course, extremely outstanding."
"Then... how about betrothing Huan'er to him?" Wen Lang continued to look at Nangong Yin with a smile, his eyes fixed on her, not missing any emotion on her face.
Sure enough, panic and fear quickly flashed across Nangong Yin's eyes. She waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty! This may not be appropriate! Our Huan'er is the princess of Dongyi, while the Prince Ning already has a princess. Huan'er... Huan'er can't condescend to be a concubine..."
Wei Ying also frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
Chu Qing had an inexplicable intuition that Rong He was not a fool. He must have got some information and found out something.
Now, he was just testing Nangong Yin.
In that case, she would just go along with them and see what they were up to.
She couldn't stand seeing others live so peacefully.
The wind had started, and it would keep blowing.
Although Wei Ying was a bit confused about Chu Qing's reaction, he thought that following Chu Qing might lead to some unexpected things.
So, Wei Ying stopped talking.
Nangong Yin was extremely annoyed. Betrothing Wei Ying and Wen Huan?
They were siblings!
What a mess!
Seeing Nangong Yin like this, Wen Lang finally stopped smiling, and his voice became much colder. "My love seems to mind the marriage of these two children very much. Could it be that... Wen Huan and the Prince Ning... have..."
"No!" Nangong Yin shrieked. "If Your Majesty really wants to betroth Wen Huan to... the Prince Ning, then just issue the betrothal order. It's just... Wen Huan has a stubborn personality. She may not agree."
Nangong Yin thought that since Wen Lang was so insistent, she might as well agree first to stabilize him. Then...
She could deal with Wen Huan later.
At this moment, Wen Lang was so angry that he laughed instead.
Nangong Yin still refused to tell the truth. Then...
"The Prince Ning and his princess have already told me everything," Wen Lang couldn't help but reach out and pinch her chin. Haze and cruelty gradually filled his eyes.
Sure enough, Nangong Yin's struggling hands froze, and her beautiful eyes were full of fear.
"Still not willing to tell the truth?" Wen Lang continued, and at the same time, he let go of his hand.
Nangong Yin fell to the ground, looking a bit dazed.
"Is the Prince Ning your biological son?" Wen Lang almost gritted his teeth as he asked.
The mentioned Wei Ying just stood there calmly. Watching his so - called biological parents confront each other like this was indeed a different kind of life experience.
Hearing Wen Lang's question, Nangong Yin nodded fearfully.
"Then... you admit that... you betrayed me! You did... something sorry for me!"
Nangong Yin: "???"
Wei Ying: "???"
Chu Qing: "???"
After the moment of confusion, Chu Qing had a very complicated expression.
She knew Rong He well, but this suspicious and a bit stupid Rong He in front of her was completely strange to her.
He actually suspected...
That Nangong Yin had cuckolded him?
This... she had to say for her that this was really unjust.
Wei Ying let out a chuckle, then lowered his eyes. No one could see his expression.
Chu Qing immediately grabbed his hand.
Wei Ying's hand was so cold that it made her panic.
"Your Majesty... he is your own flesh and blood!" Nangong Yin was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and began to explain.
Wen Lang was stunned, then said with a still fierce expression, "Don't you dare to lie to me!"
Nangong Yin quickly shook her head, then rushed forward and grabbed Wen Lang's hand, continuing to explain, "Your Majesty, you must believe your servant. The Prince Ning... he is really your own flesh and blood! We... we can do the blood - mixing test!"
Seeing Nangong Yin looking directly into his eyes, Wen Lang finally froze.
He remembered the sense of familiarity he felt when he first saw Wei Ying in the palace. It seemed... that it was really in the blood.
Wei Ying still didn't say a word. He just silently looked at her. He wanted to know if Nangong Yin would tell the truth directly.
Did she dare to use her own safety to make him return to Dongyi legitimately?
Chu Qing also silently looked at Nangong Yin, waiting for her to continue.
Wen Lang finally broke the silence. "I'll only give you one chance. Tell me the truth immediately!"
Nangong Yin bit her lower lip. Her eyes were slightly red. Seeing that Wen Lang was about to get angry again, she slowly said, "When I gave birth to him... it was... the Prince of Guangling! He was not willing to let your servant enter the palace, so he snatched the child away! Your servant failed to protect him well. So... so I didn't dare to tell Your Majesty the truth. I could only say... that I gave birth to a stillborn baby... Please punish your servant!"
Chu Qing and Wei Ying were both stunned.
They didn't expect that, even at this point, she still dared to blame this on the Prince of Guangling in front of them!
Wasn't she afraid... that they would tell the truth?
Oh, Chu Qing then slowly realized.
Among the people present, only Nangong Yin was the one who experienced the matter.
Wei Ying was just a baby in swaddling clothes at that time, so he naturally didn't remember anything. And the Prince of Guangling... was already dead.
The truth was up to her to tell.
Wen Lang turned to look at Wei Ying seriously, but Wei Ying still had a blank expression.
Things seemed to be developing in a direction she didn't expect.
"This prince is a bit tired. Please, Your Majesty, be kind enough to allow... this prince and his princess to leave the palace."
Wen Lang's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but finally felt that he had nothing to say.
He thought he had been a good emperor.
However, he was not a good father.
After much thought in his heart, Wen Lang could only nod and agree to Wei Ying's request.
Although he still had doubts about the truth Nangong Yin told, he believed that the Prince Ning of the Great Yan was his own flesh and blood.
