Zhan Tianye's dark eyes dimmed instantly.
Yun Shu pursed her red lips.
Yun Changfeng noticed Yun Shu's expression was slightly off. Sitting beside her, he could clearly feel the chill emanating from her. "Shu'er? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Yun Shu withdrew her gaze.
Yun Changfeng looked at the child Zhan Ming had brought.
He hadn't examined the child closely earlier, but now, upon a careful look, he immediately frowned.
This child...
Why did he feel a slight resemblance to Yun Xiao Jing?
And even to the Night King's young heir.
He raised a hand and pressed his temple.
Perhaps he was just missing his spirited grandson, Yun Xiao Jing. After all, Yun Xiao Jing was so lovable, and he was his grandson, so he couldn't help but adore him.
Yun Yueyin seized the opportunity to look up at Gu Xiaofeng. Seeing Gu Xiaofeng's composure, she should have been happy. However, she remembered that Gu Xiaofeng was the child of Yun Shu and the Night King. Even though he was working for her and Zhan Ming, she couldn't feel happy.
She only felt a sense of triumph.
The truth was known only to her!
The show was about to begin!
"Sixth Uncle, what is this?" Zhan Tianhong glanced at Gu Xiaofeng.
Why had Sixth Uncle brought a child to the palace today?
He had already heard the whispers in the palace, but wasn't Sixth Uncle moving too fast? Bringing a child directly, intending to vindicate himself?
Zhan Ming turned and beckoned Gu Xiaofeng. "Xiaofeng, come here."
Gu Xiaofeng walked over.
The crowd was puzzled.
But they began to murmur amongst themselves, the Regent was trying to prove his innocence! It seemed to be an illegitimate child.
"The Regent's illegitimate son?" Yun Changfeng guessed in a low voice.
Yun Shu glanced at Yun Changfeng. Was Zhan Ming worthy? He was your grandson! She suppressed the urge to go up and beat Zhan Ming, her voice low and chilling, "No."
Yun Changfeng was confused. Why was Shu'er so certain?
But before he could ask, Zhan Ming suddenly led the child to Zhan Tianye.
Zhan Tianye, seated, appeared no different from ordinary people.
For a fleeting moment, many forgot that Zhan Tianye was a cripple who could not walk, so overwhelming was his aura, like an ice mountain.
But when Zhan Ming brought Gu Xiaofeng before Zhan Tianye.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look at the child, he's so much like the Night King! He looks like he could be the Night King's young heir's brother!"
Hearing the word "brother," Zhan Xiao Li gave the speaker a blank look. He had a younger brother, but it wasn't this child!
You have no eyes!
Clearly...
Zhan Xiao Li was surprised. Why did he look a bit like him?
Zhan Tianye nonchalantly raised his cold, dark eyes, possessing a power that pierced through the soul.
Uncle and nephew's gazes met.
Zhan Ming let out a few wicked laughs. "Night King, I've always treated you well. You are my favorite nephew! Look, who have I brought?"
As he spoke, he looked down at Gu Xiaofeng.
Before, he had only thought they resembled each other.
Now, with Gu Xiaofeng standing before Zhan Tianye, a careful comparison revealed a striking resemblance!
The more he looked, the more alike they seemed.
"He is your son!" Zhan Ming then provided the answer.
A wave of gasps rippled through the surroundings. A son?
Not the Regent's illegitimate son? The Night King's son? What was going on?
Yun Shu's lips twitched violently. In a flash, she suddenly understood what Zhan Ming was up to.
She subtly glanced at Yun Yueyin.
Yun Yueyin nervously clutched the cup in her hand.
Even though the surrounding people were stunned, and even Zhan Tianhong was rendered speechless for a moment.
Zhan Tianye, however, showed no expression. His black eyes were unfathomably deep, like a bottomless cold pool, trapping his emotions far below the surface, making them impossible to fathom.
"You don't believe me?" Zhan Ming raised an eyebrow. Of all his nephews, Zhan Tianye was the most difficult to deal with!
He was truly a headache!
However, he had everything under control.
"If I hadn't investigated clearly, why would I have brought him to you? And why choose the Day of the Grand Feast? This is a great gift from Sixth Uncle to you. Look, his eyes are exactly like yours, and he looks so much like you did when you were young!" The more Zhan Ming spoke, the more spirited he became.
After finishing, he looked at the woman behind him.
The woman, receiving Zhan Ming's signal, tremblingly knelt before Zhan Tianye with a thud.
"Night King, this humble one is guilty!"
The crowd was momentarily confused.
Yun Shu lowered her gaze.
Yun Changfeng's brow furrowed. "The Night King's confidante?" He hasn't even married a Princess yet, and he's already involved with women, having them bear him children one after another.
It was quite contrary to his impression of the Night King.
"Back then, after the Prince forced himself upon this humble one, I was afraid and hid. Later, after ten months of pregnancy, I gave birth to two children. One is the young heir by the Night King's side, and the other is Xiaofeng by my side. He is also the Prince's son!" The woman cried feigning distress.
Her pitiful, delicate appearance evoked pity in many men.
Yun Yueyin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the woman speak!
This way, Zhan Tianye would trust this woman even more!
Because the secret she had told Zhan Tianye was that the woman from that year was not her, but someone else. Because she loved him so much, she had deceived him.
And at that time, she could tell that Zhan Tianye had believed her!
Thinking this, Yun Yueyin's anxious heart settled. She didn't need to worry excessively.
As long as Gu Xiaofeng was in the Night King's manor, he would be the sharp sword for her and the Regent!
"So they are twins." The crowd finally understood.
Gu Xiaofeng pursed his lips as he listened to everyone's words.
Zhan Ming was pleased with the reactions of others. "Congratulations, Night King, you have another son! Xiaofeng, quickly call out to your Daddy, he is your Daddy."
Gu Xiaofeng stood still.
He knew who his mother was.
Therefore, he didn't want to acknowledge the woman kneeling beside him as his mother, nor did he want to deceive the Night King.
Zhan Ming's eyes darkened. He subtly exerted force with his hand, about to compel Gu Xiaofeng to move, when he heard Zhan Xiao Li suddenly point at him, his voice filled with emotion, "Regent Grandpa is lying, he is not Daddy's son! And she is not my mother! They are all liars!"
Although he couldn't hear Gu Xiaofeng's thoughts, he could hear Regent Grandpa's thoughts!
Regent Grandpa wanted to deceive Daddy!
Gu Xiaofeng suddenly looked towards Yun Shu.
He had seen her since he entered.
She was his mother.
He really wanted to run over and tell everyone that his foster father was lying. Although he didn't know who his father was, he knew who his mother was.
Mother and son shared a connection.
Yun Shu also looked at Gu Xiaofeng, reassuring him with her eyes, "Don't be afraid."
Gu Xiaofeng's eyes reddened, "Yes, I'm not afraid."
"This humble one dares not lie! Xiaofeng is indeed the Night King's son! And, Xiao Li, I am your mother, look at me carefully, I am truly your mother!" The woman looked up, her face as beautiful as a celestial being, stunning everyone.
