BXBX NOVEL Chapter 521 - 521 A way to express her thoughts
“Are you the father of the Crown Princess?” Qiu Zedong asked Li Zixuan to confirm.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Liu Yinuo was the woman whom I wanted to marry, but...” he paused as he was unable to tell in front of the King what he did to Liu Yinuo.
“Why did you pause?” Qiu Zedong asked him to finish what he was saying.
“Your Majesty, my father will not be able to tell the wrong he did to my mother. So, I will tell His Majesty myself,” Jin Yu said while keeping her hands on her belly and head low.
“Did Li Jianjun throw out the Crown Princess’ mother?” Qiu Zedong asked.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I searched for my father for a very long time. Because my mother couldn’t survive after my birth, I could not know who was my father. I know His Majesty may be doubtful of my identity, that’s why I brought the evidence with me. If His Majesty allows me, then I will show it to him,” Jin Yu requested.
“I would like to see it,” Qiu Zedong stated.
Jin Yu lifted her head and glanced at Xiaoming.
.....
“Royal Father, this is an old document that mentions the Crown Princess’ mother’s name along with Li Zixuan’s,” Xiaoming asserted and went forward.
He opened the document before the King, who read it and found that the document was indeed very old. He glared in Li Zixuan’s direction, who immediately lowered his head and got on his knees.
“Forgive me for my act, Your Majesty,” he pleaded for forgiveness as he hid the truth for a long time.
“My Father turned greedy and decided to ditch my mother when she was pregnant with me; was supposed to marry him. He married a woman from an influential family and wiped out every piece of evidence except the one that is His Majesty holding,” Jin Yu pronounced.
“How did the Crown Princess find out that her father belonged to a noble class? I would like to know how she found out about all this. When did she find out that Li Zixuan was her father?” Qiu Zedong put forward some important questions.
“I told the Crown Prince about it,” Jin Yu replied and took out the jade from inside her long sleeve.
“This was the only thing that my mother possessed after she was thrown out. The Crown Prince told me this jade only a high-rank official can possess. So, we looked into the influential ministers and officials. Prince Mingquan helped the Crown Prince find that document,” Jin Yu affirmed.
Qiu Zedong lowered his hands and asked Li Zixuan to go home.
Xiaoming and Jin Yu got perplexed to hear that command of the King.
Li Zixuan complied with the King’s command and left.
“Now, the Crown Princess can tell me the answers to the rest of the questions,” Qiu Zedong stated.
“I found out about it a few days ago through the Crown Prince, Your Majesty,” Jin Yu asserted.
“Why did the Crown Prince hide the truth instead of revealing it?” Qiu Zedong looked angry.
“Because the Crown Prince thought that my father would use me to gain his power back,” Jin Yu replied on Xiaoming’s behalf.
“Why did the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess decide to reveal it? Did the Crown Princess reveal it because I asked the Crown Prince to marry a noble woman if he could not stop Prince Tianjie to marry a dancer?” Qiu Zedong inquired.
“His Majesty is wrong,” Jin Yu stated.
Qiu Zedong frowned to hear Jin Yu’s answer.
“The Crown Prince was thinking to step down from his position,” Jin Yu truthfully answered.
Qiu Zedong glared in the direction of Xiaoming.
“Your Majesty, a woman also makes a man. His Majesty won so many great battles because his women were by his side all the time and took care of the household for him. The reason to reveal my true identity is to save the Crown Prince. As his wife, that is my duty,” Jin Yu gave heartfelt answers.
“I do not want the kingdom to turn upside down if the Crown Prince steps down. I have lived my life as a commoner. I never heard about any princes but about the Crown Prince, I had heard through people around me. They all love him, respect him, and want him to be the King. I do not want him to lose his happiness because of the pressure that His Majesty’s command has given him. That’s why I asked the Crown Prince to let me expose the truth about my identity,” Jin Yu explained to the King.
“The Crown Princess decided to bore the remarks from the people around her instead of revealing her identity. However, when it came to Xiaoming, she revealed her identity as the Li family eldest daughter,” Qiu Zedong ended up smiling.
“I am impressed with the Crown Princess. She knows how to handle the situations,” Qiu Zedong asserted and looked at Xiaoming.
“You chose the right woman to be in your life,” Qiu Zedong stated while smiling.
“I request His Majesty to marry Prince Tianjie to Song Jia. I was a thief before I married the Crown Prince. It was a way of survival for me. I stole money from rich people. Song Jia also dances for survival, Your Majesty. We, commoners, do not have a choice when it comes to survival. Everyone loves his or her life,” Jin Yu rested her words and lowered her eyes.
“The Crown Princess is way more observant than I have thought. She has a way to express her thoughts which I liked. I suddenly remembered my great-grandmother, who was a commoner but became the Queen because of her remarkable decisions which helped the king of that time.” Qiu Zedong continued to smile and asked Jin Yu to keep her honesty till the very end.
“Fine. I will allow Prince Tianjie to marry Song Jia. However, the Crown Princess has to fight the dangers awaiting her. I would like to see how she will control the Li Family from using her name,” Qiu Zedong stated with an amusing smile on his lips.
