Last time, Beichen Bing had assigned tasks to Mu Ruli, Mo Jin, and Beichen Jin. It had to be said that Beichen Bing had a high trust in the Li and Jin Imperial Residences. She had assigned the most important tasks to them.
When Beichen Jin heard that the emperor, Beichen Bing, wanted him to return to Barbarian City as soon as possible, he did not dare to delay and prepared to set off early the next morning.
That night, Beichen Jin came to Mu Ruli's room. The father and son drank and talked with each other. Many things had happened in the past few days. Beichen Jin had come from Barbarian City to Beichen, but the two of them had not found a chance to sit down and talk.
"Jin 'er, you've suffered during this period of time. However, the current emperor is good at using talents and doesn't envy them. Moreover, he can distinguish right from wrong.”
Mu Ruli looked at Beichen Jin and said with heartache. This son had not grown up by Mu Ruli's side since he was born. He had no mother since he was young. Beichen Jin's mother missed Beichen Jin very much after giving birth. She could not see him every day, so she fell ill and passed away in less than a year.
Beichen Jin had never seen his mother before. Mu Ruli could only enter the palace once in a long time. At that time, Mu Ruli had to protect Beichen Jin because Beichen Jin was in Beichen Yan's hands and could not resist openly.
Thus, he swallowed his anger. He did not expect Beichen Yan to send Beichen Jin to Eastern Yao as a hostage while Mu Ruli was fighting outside. Mu Ruli had no choice but to secretly send people to protect Beichen Jin in Eastern Yao.
How did Beichen Jin survive all these years? Every time Mu Ruli thought of this, she would feel extremely pained. She could not even protect her own son. However, Beichen Jin was very hardworking. Now, Beichen Jin's ability was not inferior to Mu Ruli's. Thinking of this, Mu Ruli was very pleased.
"En, this child knows. This child will not let the emperor's expectations, not let father's expectations, not let the world's expectations.”Beichen Jin said decisively.
"Jin 'er, you've actually grown up in the blink of an eye. Now, you can even drink and chat with me.”Mu Ruli looked at Beichen Jin kindly.
"Father, I still don't understand one thing. That day, why did Beichen Yan say that the astrologer predicted that I would fight with the Beichen clan for the throne? Father knew about it too? Why didn't you tell your son?" Beichen Jin said to Mu Ruli.
Mu Ruli looked at Beichen Jin and said slowly.
"Jin 'er, before I was born, Emperor Beichen Yan summoned me back to the palace. He said that the astrologer had measured that the star of a new emperor was rising. Then, the star position showed that the geographical direction was our Li Palace.
Beichen Yan said that he wanted to kill you to prevent Mu Ru and Beichen from having a life-and-death battle. I refused. I couldn't kill the woman and child I loved the most. It was for a prophecy. Even Beichen Yan couldn't do it. So, Beichen Yan gave you the surname Beichen before you were born.
Sending someone to take you away when you were born was the only way to protect you. It would make him wary of the power of the Glass Prince Mansion, so he wouldn't dare to do anything to you easily. Moreover, everyone in Beichen knows that you are in the palace and are being raised by him. If anything happens to you, he will definitely have something to do with it.
So, before you went to Dongyao, your life was quite peaceful. Do you understand the rest now? Why is he always targeting you? Do you want to kill you?"
After Beichen Jin heard this, he said slowly,"I see. But, Father, I have never thought about the throne. As a member of the Muru Clan, I know my duty as a member of the Muru Clan. We are here to protect the royal family. I will not do such immoral things. I have always abided by the teachings of my ancestors.”
"Jin 'er, I didn't tell you before because you hated the late emperor, Beichen Yan. I was afraid that you would take things too hard and really fulfill the prophecy back then.”Mu Ruli lowered her head and said.
Beichen Jin smiled and said,"I've always remembered. When I was young, every time Father entered the palace, he would tell me to read more books and cultivate more. You have to learn to protect yourself. I've always remembered it. Now, I can not only protect myself, but also protect the people I want to protect."”
Mu Ruli patted Beichen Jin's shoulder, feeling very gratified. The two of them admired the moon, drank, and chatted until dawn.
After daybreak, Mu Ruli personally made breakfast for Beichen Jin. It was all his favorite food.
Feng Xi rushed over in a hurry. Before she saw her, she heard her voice and then Feng Xi shouted.
"Brother Beichen, Brother Beichen, are you leaving today? Why didn't you tell me? I want to go back to Barbarian City with you.”After a while, she walked in front of Mu Ruli and Beichen Jin. When Feng Xi saw that Mu Ruli was still there, she hurriedly greeted them and said,""Hello, Uncle Mu Ru."
Mu Ruli liked Feng Xi very much. She had a lively, cheerful, and passionate personality. When she saw Feng Xi's eyes, she smiled and said,""Fengxi, did you have breakfast? Do you want to sit down and eat together?"
"Hehe, there's no need, Uncle Mu Ru. I've already had breakfast at home. It was only when I was eating that I heard Father say that Brother Beichen would be returning to Man Gui City today, so I rushed over.”Feng Xi smiled.
"Fengxi, you don't have to go this time. I'm busy with government affairs now. I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you.”Beichen Jin Tongfeng Xi discussed.
"Brother Beichen, do you hate Fengxi? Is that why you don't want me to go over? I promise I won't pester you anymore, okay?”Feng Xi looked straight at Beichen Jin and said.
When Mu Ruli saw this, she smiled and left to help Beichen Jin pack his luggage.
"Fengxi, that's not it. You treat me like a sister. Why would I hate you?”Beichen Jin looked at Feng Xi and explained.
"I don't want to be your sister. Hmph, I want to marry you in the future.”Feng Xi said angrily as she looked at Beichen Jin.
In Beichen Jin's heart, Feng Xi was a child who would not grow up, so he did not think too much about it. He smiled and said to Feng Xi.
"Fengxi, how can a little sister marry a big brother? Don't worry, I will definitely find a good husband for you in the future. However, you really can't go this time. Now that everything is in turmoil, it's safer for you to stay here.”Beichen Jin said very seriously.
Although Feng Xi really wanted to go, Beichen Jin had never been so serious with her. He said very reluctantly,"T-alright then. But Brother Beichen, you have to inform me when you're done.”
"Alright, don't worry. I'll bring you to ride a horse when the time comes.”Beichen Jin sighed in relief. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:48AM
