I am Yuan Niaoniao

Chapter 58 Wu Jingxin’s true identity?

Han Haotian knelt on the ground with his head down, not even daring to raise his eyelids to look at Han Junwu who was sitting at the desk. At this moment, his heart was filled with regret and fear, because the scandal that had happened in Nafu Garden not long ago and made him lose face had spread throughout the palace.

That day, Han Haotian was eating cakes in Nafuyuan, but he got drunk and lost his mind. In a daze, he accidentally fell down the stairs, not only hurting his forehead, but also making the whole city know that he had lost his manners. This embarrassing incident has now become a topic of conversation after dinner, making him feel ashamed. The most important thing is that he originally thought that Wu Jingxin was teasing him, but then he remembered that it was he who proposed to go to Nafuyuan. Wu Jingxin did not propose any arrangements from the beginning to the end. It was all his arrangements. He can only blame himself and not others!

After several days of recuperation, Han Haotian finally recovered from his injuries, so he mustered up the courage to come to the palace and apologize to Han Junwu. Han Junwu sat at the desk with a gloomy face, concentrating on reviewing the piles of memorials, and seemed to be completely unaware of Han Haotian's existence. Han Haotian knelt quietly like this, and as time passed, his legs gradually became numb, but he did not dare to move at all.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a taut string could break at any time. Han Haotian was in a state of confusion, not knowing how to face Han Junwu's anger. He knew that the mistakes he made had brought shame to the royal family and failed his father's expectations of him. However, no matter what kind of punishment was waiting for him, he was willing to accept it calmly, hoping to get his father's forgiveness. Otherwise, he was really finished, and his father would no longer value him no matter what, because he had made stupid mistakes again and again. This time he really deserved it.

After a long time, Han Junwu put down the pen in his hand, slowly raised his head, and stared at Han Haotian with cold eyes.

"Get up."

Han Haotian trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, he stood up with difficulty.

"I thought you had grown up and could distinguish right from wrong, but I didn't expect you to be so confused!" Han Junwu's voice was filled with disappointment. "As a prince, you actually got drunk and fell off a building in public. How disgraceful!"

Han Haotian lowered his head and remained silent, his face full of guilt.

"I heard that you went there with Wu Jingxin. How could you make such a joke? You've lost all the face of the royal family. Are you satisfied?!" Han Junwu slammed the table.

"It was your fault that I lost my manners. I am willing to accept the punishment!" Han Haotian said with a look of shame on his face.

"Punish, how can I punish you to save my face this time! Is it such a simple thing as punishment? Haotian, your father has always hoped that you would be obedient and sensible, but you have been getting into trouble time and time again. Now, you even go and personally invite a troublemaker back. If you two get married, I don't know what kind of trouble you two will cause!" I am really disappointed in you!

"Please give me another chance, Father. I will talk to the princess nicely and promise not to cause trouble again!" Han Haotian's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Han Junwu was silent for a moment, then his tone softened a little: "Forget it, I will let you off this time. Don't do such absurd things again in the future, or I will punish you severely! But if you don't keep your words and actions cautious, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain a foothold in the palace."

"Your son will listen carefully to your teachings." Han Haotian kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.

"Go away and reflect on your mistakes." Han Junwu waved his hand and focused his attention on the memorial again.

Han Haotian felt relieved and respectfully left the room. But he couldn't understand why his father suddenly forgave him when he was still very angry. Was he implying that he would have nothing to do with that position in the future, so he indulged himself like this? The more Han Haotian thought about it, the more disappointed he felt. Father! Is it really okay for a son to be obedient and sensible?

Han Junyi, I must step on you with my own hands and make my father regret not choosing me! Han Haotian looked up at the sky with hatred and began to formulate a plan in his mind.

.....................

"What do you think Han Haotian needs most at this moment?" Yuan Niaoniao looked at Chen Shaoyi with a meaningful look.

"Help! He must want to defeat Han Junyi completely." Chen Shaoyi said affirmatively.

"I knew you understood me!" Yuan Niao Niao looked down at Chen Shaoyi with a smile.

"Let Yan Xun come. Yan Xun will definitely be happy." Chen Shaoyi could only think of Yan Xun as the candidate.

"I think there is another candidate." Yuan Niaoniao said after thinking for a while.

"Who?" Chen Shaoyi looked at her puzzledly.

"Wu Jingxin also has a nominal elder brother named Wu Shijie, but this person is extremely low-key. Due to the unspeakable and complicated relationship between him and Wu Jingxin's biological mother, he almost never appears in public. However, the King of Wu State kept the news of this matter completely sealed, and almost no one in the outside world noticed anything unusual. However, I do have some impression of this person." Yuan Niaoniao said slowly.

Then, she continued, "Han Haotian never misses any information that is useful to him. In the previous life, after he and I were engaged, he learned that the princess of Wu State was interested in marriage. So, he sent people from many parties to Wu State to investigate the relevant information. And I overheard this by chance."

"Wu Shijie!" Chen Shaoyi suddenly remembered this name and shouted in surprise, "But as far as I know, the eldest prince of Wu State has been devoted to Buddhism and has avoided state affairs. Even if Han Haotian really knows about this, I'm afraid he won't be able to get any help from him!"

However, Yuan Niao Niao shook her head, looked at Chen Shaoyi firmly, and said softly: "In fact, things are not that simple. He is very likely Wu Jingxin's biological father!" At this point, she couldn't help but frowned, and said to herself thoughtfully: "It's a pity that I don't know whether Han Haotian has learned this news in this life. If he already knew, he would definitely try to contact Wu Shijie!"

"If you want to confirm, just go and meet Wu Jingxin and you'll know." Chen Shaoyi immediately stood up, and Yuan Niaoniao followed closely behind him and came to the room where Wu Jingxin was imprisoned.

"Your Highness, Princess, have you gotten used to the life here?" Yuan Niaoniao asked with interest when she saw Wu Jingxin with her hands tied behind her back.

"Wuwuwu," Wu Jingxin's mouth was blocked, and she wanted to curse but couldn't make a sound. Her bloodshot eyes stared at Yuan Niao Niao fiercely.

"I wonder if your father would be sad to know that his precious daughter is treated like this! Oh, no, it should be your biological father, the eldest prince, who would care about you. The King of Wu may not really care. Right?" Yuan Niaoniao stared at Wu Jingxin intently.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wu Jingxin's face changed from ferocious to stunned and frightened for a moment, and then returned to her ferocious look again. She was just more excited and wanted to get up. Unfortunately, her whole body was tied up very tightly by Mingchen, and she couldn't move at all.

"It's okay." Yuan Niaoniao stood up and nodded to Chen Shaoyi, and they left the room where Wu Jingxin was imprisoned, leaving Wu Jingxin standing there with a panicked look on her face.

"Tell the news to Qingxin, and let her reveal it to Han Haotian intentionally or unintentionally." Yuan Niao Niao said softly to Chen Shaoyi.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot that Qingxin said she saw Wen Zili on Han Junyi's boat!" Chen Shaoyi held Niao's hand tightly, the corners of his mouth always raised unconsciously, revealing a doting smile.

"Wen Zili?" Hearing this name, Yuan Niaoniao couldn't help but frowned, "Why is he still in Dadu?"

Chen Shaoyi nodded slightly and said, "It seems that he wants to become Han Junyi's adviser."

"What is he trying to do?" Yuan Niao Niao frowned and thought to herself. Is it for Jia Xin? However, if things continue like this, Wen Zili will only become their enemy.

Seeing Yuan Niao Niao's bright smile gradually disappear, replaced by a face full of sorrow and worry, Chen Shaoyi suddenly felt unhappy. He secretly felt dissatisfied with Wen Zili.

"If you think he poses a threat to you, I can get rid of him." Chen Shaoyi looked at Yuan Niao Niao firmly, with a resolute light in his eyes. As long as it can make her happy and at ease, he is willing to do it, even if it means facing some dangers and difficulties. Besides, getting rid of Wen Zili is just like crushing an ant.

Yuan Niaoniao shook her head, "Not for now, let's see what he wants to do."

Seeing this, Chen Shaoyi didn't say anything more and just nodded.

....................

After receiving the news, Qingxin began to plan how to guide Han Haotian.

On this day, Han Haotian finally came to see her again. He hadn't come to see her for several days since he made a fool of himself last time. He probably didn't want to come because he was concerned about his reputation.

Qingxin stood on the roof of the west wing, looking from afar at Han Haotian walking slowly towards the palace where she was. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped off the roof and handed two secret letters she had prepared in advance to a maid beside her.

The maid's name was Xiaoqin, and she was a spy planted in the palace by Chen Shaoyi. Qingxin gently said, "It's up to you now, Xiaoqin." Xiaoqin nodded slightly, indicating that she understood, and then carefully put the secret letter away.

Then, Qingxin deliberately raised her voice and said to Xiaoqin: "Xiaoqin, please go to the Imperial Garden and pick some flowers for me. I think this yard is too deserted!"

After she finished speaking, she even pretended to look around, as if she was really dissatisfied with the empty courtyard. Xiao Qin understood what she meant and quickly responded, "Yes, Princess." Before she finished speaking, she hurried out and bumped into Qing Feng and Han Haotian when she turned the corner.

"You are so reckless, girl. What will happen if you offend the prince?" Qingfeng reached out and helped Xiaoqin up from the ground, gently scolding her. Seeing that the maid was someone close to Wu Jingxin, he did not blame her any more. "I pay my respects to the prince!" Xiaoqin knelt down hurriedly and tremblingly explained, "I was anxious to do something for the princess, and I was so anxious that I was in a panic. I didn't mean to offend the prince. Please forgive me for my sin."

Han Haotian smiled slightly, and said gently: "It's okay, you didn't hurt me. Get up quickly and don't delay the business, otherwise you won't be able to bear the blame if the princess blames you." "Thank you for your mercy, my lord." Xiao Qin stood up quickly as if she had been pardoned, and left in a hurry with her head down, as if there was a wolf chasing her.

When Xiaoqin ran away, Qingfeng suddenly found two secret letters left on the ground, so he bent down to pick them up, handed them to Han Haotian respectfully, and said, "Prince, take a look."

Han Haotian carefully took the two secret letters and carefully examined the handwriting on the envelope. He saw the words "From the Grand Prince". He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Grand Prince of Wu?"

Han Haotian tried hard to recall every bit about this prince, but the impression in his mind was very vague. The last time he went to Wu State, he did not have the honor to meet this mysterious prince in person, and his knowledge of him was limited to rumors. It was said that this prince was indifferent to the affairs of the court and devoted himself to Buddhism. Although he had the title of the eldest prince, he seemed to have no entanglement with the power of the court.

Han Haotian wondered in his heart, why would Wu Jingxin write to this prince who doesn't care about worldly affairs? Is there some unspeakable secret hidden in it? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was quite strange, so he decided to bury his doubts in his heart for the time being, and continued to move forward calmly, walking towards the palace where Wu Jingxin was.

Qingxin took all of this in and the fish was hooked.

"Princess, the prince is here. He is waiting for you in the reception room." Sang Xin's voice sounded outside the door.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Qingxin tidied her appearance and slowly came to the reception hall, only to see Han Haotian already drinking tea.

"How come you have time to come to my place today?" Qingxin spoke first.

"I just happened to have nothing to do today, so I thought of coming to see you." Han Haotian put down his teacup and looked at Wu Jingxin. "Besides, we should also prepare to discuss the wedding arrangements."

"Oh, it's too early." Qingxin didn't even raise her eyelids, and said nonchalantly: "The emperor and the queen will definitely arrange it for us by then, why do we need to worry about it ourselves?"

"You're right. I wanted to see if you have other ideas. I can try to plead with my father and help you realize them." Han Haotian said after a pause.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Qingxin said with a smile, "But I don't have any special ideas at the moment."

Han Haotian took a sip of tea and looked at Qingxin thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, I heard some interesting things recently."

So he talked to Wu Jingxin for a long time before leaving reluctantly.

As night fell, Han Haotian slowly returned to the Prince's Mansion. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to take out the two mysterious letters from his arms. Sitting at the table, he carefully placed one of the envelopes over the candlelight and gently toasted it. After watching the beeswax gradually melt and soften, he gently opened the seal with a knife.

When the letter appeared in front of him, Han Haotian recognized it as Wu Jingxin's handwriting. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then began to read every word in the letter carefully. As his eyes moved, the contents of the letter were like heavy bombs, setting off a storm in his heart.

After reading the letter, Han Haotian froze, his eyes were empty, and his thoughts were in a mess. The eldest prince was actually Wu Jingxin's biological father! And the King of Wu was only her grandfather! Such a complicated and incredible network of relationships made him feel dizzy and confused, and his brain seemed to fall into chaos in an instant. But he concealed this identity from the outside world?

After thinking about it, I felt that this was an opportunity. It just happened that I was short of an opportunity. If I could get the full support of Wu State, it would be the best! An idea was already spreading in my mind.
