Chapter Forty-Four: Identity Exposed

  "She's a useless woman, a woman who can't even protect herself!" Mu Bei Chen buried his face in her chest, his choked voice came intermittently!

  Ah! The imperial court, how many scars have the years carved on this child who is only ten years old?

  This child was lonely in the luxurious palace, he was unhappy, so he put on a hard outer garment for himself, with adult-like indifference and maturity.

  Suddenly, Xia Tong wanted to give him a warmth!

  Bend down, look straight into his eyes, "Do you see yourself in my eyes?"

  Mu Beichuan nodded slightly, still looking puzzled.

  "Have you ever seen stars at night?"

  His dark eyes were full of puzzlement, but he didn't ask, and nodded heavily instead.

  Those are your mother's eyes, she is watching you from the sky every night! She winks at you to tell you: she has been with you all along, you are not alone, and she hopes you are happy!

  His bright eyes stared at Xiaotong, puzzled and asked: "Is this true? Has Mother been watching me all along?"

  "It's true, Cheng!"

  The sudden sound made Xia Tong jump, and when she turned around, it was Mu Bei Feng. He was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, standing not far away, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Xia Tong, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes!

  "Brother Emperor!" Mu Beichuan hesitated for a moment, let go of Xia Tong, ran over and threw himself into Mu Beifeng's arms.

  "These years, I've been strict with you!" Mu Beifeng patted Cheng's back, saying somewhat nostalgically.

  "No, no, brothers have been very good to me!" Mu Beichuan raised his head, as if he had obtained the entire world!

  "Xiatong, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

  The teasing voice made Xia Tong, who was about to quietly leave, stop in her tracks.

  Stop in his tracks, looking at him: "Explanation? What explanation? I don't recall owing you something called an explanation."

  "Has Princess Luli really gone there?" Mu Beifeng looked at her and asked calmly.

  He knew it from the very beginning! Xia Tong stood there, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression, her whole body chilled to the bone in shock: she saw that the candle of her life seemed to have burned to its end, and a gentle breeze could extinguish it at any moment!

  "How...how did you know?" Xia Tong looked at him with a pale face, and her words were also stuttering: Oh my god, she really doesn't want to die! And where's Chen? Where did Chen go?

  He burst out laughing with a "hahaha".

  "Brother Emperor, you scared her, this woman is too timid!" Mu Bei said with a smile.

  "Hmm! Indeed, a small gall!" Mu Beifeng regained his usual sly and charming expression, coldly gazing at her as if in thought "This woman has committed the crime of offending me, should I behead her immediately? Or should I throw her into prison to slowly torture her to death?"

  Xia Tong looked at the two brothers in front of her, one big and one small, and couldn't help but grit her teeth: Blood is thicker than water, that dead child, she had been so fond of him, yet now he was siding with the other!

  "It was actually when the Second Prince gave you a gift that I confirmed you weren't really Princess Luli!" Mu Beichuan seemed to be unable to bear scaring Xiaotong the most, and directly explained the ins and outs.
