Xie Pan’Er couldn’t help but widen her eyes to look at the Emperor, suddenly recalling the little stream he had mentioned.
Her face suddenly felt warm.
She hurriedly asked, "That day by the stream, you didn’t see anything, right?"
The Emperor saw her looking a bit uneasy and deliberately teased her.
"Of course, I saw something. That Xie Yingying was bullying you, and I thought she was being excessive, so I made a little noise to scare her off."
"Ah!" Xie Pan’Er couldn’t help but open her mouth wide, her eyes almost bulging out.
"You... you mean, that day by the stream, the person who saved me was you?"
This was simply unbelievable. She had always thought that the person who scared Xie Yingying away and helped her was Lu Yunsheng!
Who would have thought it would be His Majesty the Emperor!
"I wouldn’t call it saving you; I just casually threw a branch to frighten Xie Yingying and her maid a bit!"
Xie Pan’Er remembered a scene, a young man and a child squatting by the stream; at that time, she only saw their backs.
"Who knew fate in this world could be so wonderful!"
The Emperor leaned back, adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, closed his eyes, feeling a bit tired, he wanted to rest.
However, Xie Pan’Er didn’t notice his fatigue, and instead raised a doubt she had.
"You just said, from the beginning, Suisui knew I was born with the Phoenix Destiny, what about the people of the Ji Family?
Do they know?"
Upon hearing her question, the Emperor nodded.
"Except for others that I won’t mention, the Second Madam certainly knows. She is a member of the Daoist Sect, skilled in face reading and star observation. She is on par with the National Master."
"Ah!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Xie Pan’Er couldn’t help but let out a sound, then continued to listen to the Emperor.
"Do you know why Suisui likes you so much?"
Xie Pan’Er shook her head.
In fact, she often pondered this question by herself.
In the end, she couldn’t figure out the answer, so she attributed it to her own beauty and intelligence, which naturally attracted children.
"That’s because you are the Mother of the Nation. You also have the Qi of the Celestial Dao; you are the destined one. In this world, the only one who could teach her to maintain a kind heart is someone with your destiny. So, after the Second Madam met you, she decided to let Suisui follow you."
Xie Pan’Er widened her eyes again, her heart racing, unable to believe such an outcome!
Bits and pieces of her memories with Xiaosuisui started to surface in her mind.
It seemed like there was nothing that girl wanted and couldn’t get; what she said, others couldn’t refute.
Not really, occasionally, when she felt something was wrong with what the girl said, she would guide her, offering advice, and the girl understood.
"Is... is what you’re saying true?"
Xie Pan’Er still had a bit of uncertainty as she asked the Emperor.
"I have no need to deceive you. Suisui is quite capable, but she is too young, her mind is undeveloped. If she hadn’t cultivated the telepathy to forcibly enhance her intellect, who knows how much trouble her mouth would cause!"
"Why... why did you suddenly tell me all this?"
"A nation cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the same goes for the harem. Keeping the Empress position vacant affects the national fortune.
I can’t say it’s because I like you that I would marry no one but you in every lifetime. Such words would just be lies.
But I do want to say, I wish to make you Empress, also because I have feelings for you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Pan’Er couldn’t help but open her mouth slightly, feeling a rush of warmth on her face. Was this... a confession?
"I... how can I... how can I become... become the Empress?"
She stammered for quite a while, unable to speak a complete sentence.
