When Mu Fengqie woke up the next day, she heard Zhu Fei say that the crown prince and the eldest princess of the Golden Ear Kingdom had come.
"What are they here for?" She hadn't heard that any member of the royal family of the Golden Ear Kingdom was ill.
"I don't know. But judging from their looks, they seem to be in a hurry. Maybe there's something urgent. Do you want to see them, my lord?"
"Since it's urgent, then I'll see them. Wait a while. I'll go there after I wash and dress."
"Yes."
"Miss Zhu, how about it? Is your Valley Master willing to see us?" The eldest princess excitedly grabbed Zhu Fei's hand.
She couldn't fall asleep last night. She had never had such a strong feeling. She thought the child beside Mu Fengqie was her own child. So as soon as dawn broke, she came here with the crown prince.
Hearing that Mu Fengqie was still sleeping, they didn't disturb her and had been waiting until now.
"Your Highness, don't worry. My lord just woke up. She'll come here after she's done washing and dressing. Your Highness and the crown prince might as well sit down and have some tea first."
Although she didn't know what the eldest princess and the crown prince of the Golden Ear Kingdom were here for, their attitudes were very good. They had put themselves in a very humble position.
Could it be that someone in the Golden Ear Kingdom was really suffering from an incurable disease? And that person was very important to them?
When Mu Fengqie came, the eldest princess of the Golden Ear Kingdom was pacing back and forth in the room. She glanced at Zhu Fei, and Zhu Fei immediately gave her a look of extreme distress. This eldest princess was almost making her dizzy with her pacing.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince of the Golden Ear Kingdom."
"My lord."
"Okay, you can go down first."
"Yes." Wuwuwu... Her lord really understood her. She was almost about to vomit.
"I wonder what Your Highness wants to see me about?"
Before Mu Fengqie could sit down, the eldest princess grabbed her arm. She didn't know whether to sit or stand.
"I... You... I..." The eldest princess didn't know what to call Mu Fengqie for a moment, so she was a bit at a loss.
Mu Fengqie seemed to see the eldest princess's embarrassment, so she said, "If Your Highness comes with good intentions, then you can call me Fengqie. If Your Highness comes to pick a fight, then please address me as Princess or Valley Master respectfully."
"We... Fengqie!" The eldest princess didn't know what to say. She could only call her Fengqie first, for fear that Mu Fengqie would get impatient waiting.
Hearing the eldest princess's address, Mu Fengqie knew that they weren't here to pick a fight. A smile appeared in her eyes.
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. Take your time."
The eldest princess was a bit anxious. She didn't know how to say it, so she turned her gaze to the crown prince.
"Sister, don't be anxious. I'll say it."
"Miss Mu, we're here this time to see the child who went to the palace with you yesterday."
"Why?" As soon as Mu Fengqie heard it was related to Heng'er, she became a bit vigilant. She didn't know Heng'er's identity, but these two people might very well be his enemies.
Seeing Mu Fengqie's vigilance, the crown prince explained, "Miss Mu, don't be nervous. We just want to see that child because we suspect that he is the child my sister lost."
"What did you say?" Mu Fengqie was a bit surprised. Was Heng'er's identity like this?
"We're not sure yet. We want to call him over to confirm. Back then, we were attacked by assassins. My sister lost her own child in order to protect me. We've been looking for him for three years, but we haven't got any news at all."
"I understand. Don't be anxious. If Heng'er is really your sister's child, I won't stop you from reuniting."
"Zhu Fei, go and see if Heng'er is awake. If he is, bring him here and say that his master has something to ask him."
"Yes."
"Can you tell us something about Heng'er?"
"Sure."
"I picked up Heng'er when I was traveling outside. He was lying in a swaddle crying loudly at that time. I heard the sound and brought him back."
"Strangely enough, when we passed by there, he didn't make a single sound. But just when we were about to leave, Heng'er cried. That's why I brought Heng'er back to the Medicine Master Valley."
"He's very smart. He can learn anything quickly. I even planned that if his family couldn't be found when he grew up, I would pass on the Medicine Master Valley to him."
"I didn't expect you to come so soon. Although I'm not sure if you're Heng'er's relatives, I have a feeling that you are."
"Thank you... Really thank you." The eldest princess was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Master, can Heng'er come in?" A small figure stood respectfully outside the door.
"Come in."
As soon as Heng'er went in, he saw the crown prince and the eldest princess of the Golden Ear Kingdom and bowed to them one by one.
"Heng'er pays respects to Master, to Your Highness the Eldest Princess, and to the Crown Prince." Heng'er only showed his childish side when he was alone with Mu Fengqie. At other times, he always looked very steady.
There was no way. Grandpa, the sect master, said that there were already many unreliable people in the valley, so he must be reliable, at least in front of others.
"Get up. Come here to Master."
"Yes." Heng'er got up and walked over steadily, not at all like other children of the same age.
"Has Heng'er missed his relatives?" Mu Fengqie thought she couldn't just blurt out the matter all at once. She had to give the child some time to adjust, otherwise he might not be able to accept it.
"Aren't Master and the people in the Medicine Master Valley Heng'er's relatives? Why talk about missing them?"
"What Master is asking is about Heng'er's biological parents."
These words made Heng'er fall silent and also made the eldest princess nervous.
"Heng'er doesn't know."
"Why?"
"Because Heng'er doesn't know why they abandoned him. So Heng'er can't really make an evaluation. Master always teaches Heng'er to understand the truth of things before making an evaluation. Since Heng'er hasn't found out the truth, Heng'er won't make an evaluation."
"Wuwuwu..." The eldest princess couldn't bear it any longer and finally burst into tears. She was sure now that Heng'er was her son. She could only see a vague outline from afar yesterday, but as soon as he came in today, she was sure that Heng'er was her child.
Because his face was exactly the same as her husband's when he was a child.
"Sister, it's okay." The crown prince was also very excited because he could also tell that this child was the one they had been looking for.
"Plop—"
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Mu Fengqie was startled and quickly went to help her up, but the eldest princess stubbornly didn't get up.
"Fengqie, don't help me. This is what I should kneel for." The crown prince also wanted to kneel down with the eldest princess, but was stopped by Mu Fengqie. If they knelt down, what would people say if it got out?
