Chapter 144 Birthmark
However, at this moment, Yun Muheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly turned around, and his eyes slowly fell on Ye Chuxue beside him.
Then he said in an extremely indifferent tone, "This prince has come here to accompany the princess. As for what to do next, it is entirely up to the princess to decide.
Whether she is willing to leave this place or not, it is difficult for me to decide."
As Yun Muheng finished speaking, the Prime Minister's gaze involuntarily shifted to Ye Chuxue.
Ye Chuxue had a half-smile on his face. The smile seemed gentle, but it actually contained a sharp edge, as if it could easily see through all the thoughts and secrets deep in his heart.
Being stared at in such a way, the Prime Minister immediately felt flustered.
He subconsciously wanted to avoid Ye Chuxue's gaze, but felt that doing so would be too obvious.
So he could only pretend to be calm and continued with a stiff upper lip: "Xue'er, I wonder why you came to my house today to look for me. If it's not something urgent..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Chuxue interrupted him mercilessly: "Humph! As for why I came here this time and whether the matter is urgent, I believe that you, Prime Minister, have already made up your mind!
Besides, you always call me 'Xue'er and claim to be my father. Have you forgotten?
Your distinguished wife once said in person that I was just an abandoned baby adopted by the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Chang's beautiful eyes were filled with fear at this moment, but within this fear there was a hint of chilling cruelty.
She gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "Hmph, if I had known this would happen, I should have strangled this ignorant little bitch to death with my own hands!
If it weren't for her, how could my Rou'er encounter so many obstacles on the road to becoming a princess!
As long as I get rid of her, and when the time is right, I can facilitate a marriage between the Dong Liao Kingdom and the Yun Xi Kingdom, then my Rou'er can still stay by my side and enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Just as Chang was lost in thought, General Ma on the side stared at Ye Chuxue with a look of deep doubt on his face.
He slowly asked, "You just said you were a child picked up by the Prime Minister? Then, do you know where you were picked up?"
Hearing this, Ye Chuxue was slightly startled and was about to reply: "The Prime Minister said it was beside..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chang's harsh and sharp voice.
Chang's eyes were wide open and she yelled at Ye Chuxue viciously: "Shut up!" Then, her brain began to think frantically like a high-speed machine.
In a moment, she had thought of a solution and spoke again: "How could you, child, say such nonsense?
You are obviously the biological daughter of the Prime Minister and me! I had my own unspeakable reasons for lying to you before.
As he spoke, Chang's originally ferocious face instantly became full of guilt, and he even picked up the handkerchief in his hand and gently wiped the tears that did not exist at the corners of his eyes.
Then, she continued to sob and made up a lie: "You know that you and Rou'er are almost the same age. In fact, when I gave birth to you, your father happened to bring Rou'er back from outside."
"Back then, that person gave your father 500,000 taels to take good care of Rou'er. After all, you should be grateful to someone. Since you accepted so much money, you naturally have to take good care of Rou'er.
So, we put most of our energy on Rouer and neglected you, our biological daughter, causing you to suffer for so many years for no reason.
Alas, my child, this is all my fault. I am sorry for you!
At this point, Chang continued, "Also, Xue'er, I lied to you before and said you weren't my biological daughter. Actually, it was all to protect Rou'er."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at General Ma who was sitting beside her, and cried with a look of grievance: "General Ma, please judge, in order to protect the little princess,
You've even thrown your own flesh and blood at the door! And yet you actually doubt my master. This is truly heartbreaking!"
At this moment, Ye Chuxue suddenly raised her head, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on her extremely beautiful face.
She snorted coldly and said, "Humph! What a kind mother's heart! Madam Chang, I'm afraid even you don't believe what you said, right?
If you were really my biological mother, how could you have ignored me all these years, letting me fend for myself like weeds, even living a life more miserable than those servants in your mansion?"
Hearing Ye Chuxue's question, Chang's face flushed red, and she stammered as if trying to explain something, but in the end she only uttered a soft call: "Xue'er..."
However, this call sounded so pale and powerless at this moment.
Just as Chang was still trying to continue her poignant performance, Ouyang Zhi suddenly stood up, his face as cold as ice, and uttered coldly, "If my memory serves me right, the little princess has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her lower back."
His sudden words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
In an instant, the entire hall fell into deathly silence, with only Ouyang Zhi's cold and clear voice echoing in the air.
When Chang heard this, the expression on her face froze instantly, followed by an unconcealable panic.
Her eyes widened, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her lips trembled slightly.
Because she clearly remembered that on the way to Beijing, she had personally changed clothes for Ye Chuxue, and at that time she seemed to have caught a glimpse of a birthmark on her lower back.
But because so much time had passed, she found it difficult to recall exactly what the birthmark looked like.
Moreover, since arriving in the capital, the little princess has been in the care of a nanny, so she had no idea.
At this time, the prime minister also noticed Chang's panic-stricken expression.
His heart tightened and his brows furrowed tightly. He forced himself to suppress his inner uneasiness and anxiety, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
Then, he cast a gloomy gaze at Ouyang Zhi and asked angrily, "Where did you get the news about the birthmark on the little princess' waist? From what I can see, you are clearly a fraud!"
Facing the Prime Minister's questioning, Ouyang Zhi remained unmoved and continued to stand quietly where he was.
His deep eyes were like a cold pond, emitting a hint of chill, making people dare not look directly at him.
General Ma standing by keenly caught Ouyang Zhi's icy gaze, and his heart trembled as he seemed to have grasped some important information.
He was seen stalking forward with his hair standing on end in anger and his face livid. Before anyone could react, a resounding slapping sounded.
The slap was so heavy that a bright red palm print instantly appeared on the Prime Minister's cheek. He was stunned by the sudden blow and stumbled back a few steps before he could regain his balance.
General Ma roared through gnashing teeth, his eyes burning with rage, "Do you know who he is? He is the Crown Prince of our Eastern Liao Kingdom! He is also the biological brother of the little princess! How dare you be so rude to him? You are so audacious and unforgivable!"
