Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang crying so hard that he was so panicked that he didn't know where to put his hands. Even he, who was usually smooth talker, became speechless.

"What is going on here? Wait, Jintang, I feel like we are talking about different things. Zhiyun could be my biological sister, so how could I possibly make her my consort?"

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, it was Ye Jintang's turn to be stunned. What was going on? How did Liang Zhiyun become Xiao Mo's sister?

The two of them stared at each other, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang, whose face was covered with tears and looked a little dazed, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Mo reached out again to help Ye Jintang wipe away her tears.

This time she didn't slap his hand away, but glared at him fiercely.

"Tell me what's going on. Isn't Liang Zhiyun your confidante? How come she suddenly became your biological sister?"

"I wrote you a pigeon letter a long time ago, telling you everything about Zhiyun. Have you forgotten it?"

"What pigeon message? I didn't receive it. Xiao Mo, you are not fooling me, are you?"

"How is that possible? Every pigeon message I sent to you is recorded. Wait a minute, I'll have someone deliver it to you now."

Xiao Mo finally understood what was going on. Unless the matter was made clear today, neither of them would be able to sleep.

Xiao Mo stood up and asked someone to bring the booklet recording the pigeon messages, while he asked someone to get some hot water for Ye Jintang to wipe his face.

She cried so hard just now that her eyes are still red.

The palace maid serving outside the door brought hot water into the inner hall and immediately left.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, what were the Emperor and the Empress doing? The Emperor actually bullied the Empress until she cried. This was a bit too much. Should she tell Nanny Zhang and ask her to persuade the Empress?

In the middle of the night, Xiao Mo was recording the book of messages sent by carrier pigeons, which alarmed many people. They were all very curious about why the emperor and the empress were not sleeping so late at night.

Ever since Xiao Mo left the capital, the letters he sent to Ye Jintang via carrier pigeons were as thick as five fingers. Half of the thick book was filled with the two of them talking to each other in a sweet and affectionate manner.

When Xiao Mo was flipping through it, his face was full of smiles.

"Can the emperor find it?"

Seeing Xiao Mo's silly smile, Ye Jintang was furious.

In fact, at this moment he already believed what Xiao Mo said. If this had not really happened, he would not have brought the booklet.

"We have too many pigeon messages. I have to look carefully for them."

While talking, Xiao Mo finally turned to the pigeon letter about Liang Zhiyun.

"Look, this is the letter. I wrote a lot of words and was afraid that the little pigeon couldn't carry it, so I specially chose a fat, big, and sturdy pigeon."

"But the carrier pigeon lost my letter. I was wondering why you wrote me so few letters after this one."

Xiao Mo was a smart man and he immediately realized that Ye Jintang had not received the letter at that time and did not know Liang Zhiyun's true identity. In addition, there were a lot of rumors about her at that time.

Ye Jintang must have been furious at that time.

"Jintang, this is a complete misunderstanding, but I'm still very happy to see that you are so worried about me."

Shameless Xiao Mo wanted to go forward and kiss Ye Jintang on the forehead, but she pushed him away.

She carefully read the contents of the pigeon transmission recorded in the booklet, and while reading she did not forget to give Xiao Mo a few glares.

"The emperor feels that Liang Zhiyun might be his sister based on a birthmark on her earlobe and her age. Isn't this speculation a bit arbitrary?"

"There are so many people in the Qin Kingdom, it's possible that one or two of them have birthmarks in similar locations."

"That's what I said, but I always feel that what happened back then was full of strangeness. My sister cried so loudly when she was born, how could she be a weak child and die in just three days?"

"Plus, the mysterious death of my mother made me suspect that my sister was replaced."

"And if Liang Zhiyun is really my sister, that would be great. If not, she could have the same birthmark as my sister. I saved her life, and it can be regarded as praying for my sister. I hope she is still alive in this world."

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Ye Jintang felt very uncomfortable.

Like her, Xiao Mo has few relatives in this world. He so desperately hopes that his sister is still alive, just because he hopes that there will be more people in this world who are related to him by blood.

"Okay, then Your Majesty, please think about where to start your investigation. This matter is really too unbelievable, and more than ten years have passed. Not to mention other things, the people who served Queen Jiang back then are all dead. Your Majesty wants to find someone to inquire about the situation back then, but he can't find out."

More than ten years may not seem like a long time, but many things will disappear during this period. It would be harder than climbing to the sky for Xiao Mo to find out the truth of what happened back then.

"Do you still remember Zheng Hai, the great eunuch beside Emperor Jing?"

"Of course, since Emperor Jing disappeared, Zheng Hai has inexplicably disappeared."

Ye Jintang has always had a good impression of Zheng Hai, and his godson Jin Yuan has always worked under her.

If Xiao Mo could find Zheng Hai, then what happened back then might really be uncovered.

After all, Zhenghai has lived in the palace for most of his life and is a very smart person. He must know some inside stories about what happened back then.

"Zheng Hai should know that the late emperor was deliberately pushed into the underground river by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, and he hid himself temporarily to save his life."

"After I ascended the throne and placed great importance on Jin Yuan, he probably felt that returning to the palace would be less comfortable than living outside, so he kept his whereabouts secret and never showed up."

"If you want to ask him about something, just ask Jin Yuan to pass the message."

Ye Jintang didn't expect that Xiao Mo had rewarded him so generously. It seemed that he really cared about this matter.

The matter was finally made clear, and Xiao Mo stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.

"Don't worry now, I, Xiao Mo, have said that I will only love you, Ye Jintang, for the rest of my life. This is absolutely true and will always count."

As he spoke, Xiao Mo held Ye Jintang in his arms and comforted her with gentle voice for a while.

She didn't push him away when his hands fell on her waist again.

"Wife, you just wronged me, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"

"What compensation do you want?"

Ye Jintang looked at the aggrieved man in front of her, feeling both amused and angry. He trusted her so much that he only mentioned Liang Zhiyun once and didn't say another word.

"I don't ask for much compensation at all."

Xiao Mo was in a good mood. He waved his hand and the candles in the room were extinguished again. The palace maids serving outside the hall hurriedly prepared hot water.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. The two had just opened up their hearts and were in love, but Xiao Mo couldn't help but brake and went a little too far.

At first, Ye Jintang cried because she was angry with him, and in the second half of the night, he made her cry again. In the end, her voice became hoarse and she felt better only after drinking spring water.
