Mu Yunyao and Xiao Qianmo have been playing in the capital of the Queen's Kingdom for several days. Except for the first day when they met the blind eldest princess, these days have been peaceful.

They came to celebrate the old king's birthday. In addition to Da Qi, there were also delegations from several other neighboring countries.

And since they arrived the earliest, the King of the Queendom would not receive them alone.

The reception will be arranged only after the delegations from other countries arrive.

During this period of time, they naturally just played by themselves.

They had almost finished visiting the surrounding attractions, so today they planned to walk around the city and buy some special things to bring back to Da Qi.

When I got tired of shopping, I just found a restaurant to eat.

"You two, my master wants to see you."

They had just stepped into a restaurant when a guard holding a sword blocked their way.

His attitude was not bad. He bowed respectfully before speaking.

But even so, Mu Yunyao had no intention of going there.

"You seem to be being a little rude. Shouldn't you introduce yourself first before inviting someone?"

Mu Yunyao never expected that even though she had just beaten the eldest princess, someone would dare to block her way. Could it be another person who was not afraid of death?

Just as she was thinking this, a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared at the railing on the second floor.

She was wearing a veil, so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but she could attract a lot of people's attention just by standing there.

It makes people subconsciously think of only one word.

That is beauty.

But this kind of beauty seems to be different from the beauty that women here pursue.

Her beauty is softer and more inclusive.

Moreover, her clothes were not like those of the women here. Her clothes were very gorgeous, somewhat like the style of Da Qi.

The moment Mu Yunyao raised her head, the beautiful middle-aged woman spoke.

"It is my fault that I am ignorant. Princess Yunxi, please do not blame me."

Then he nodded to Mu Yunyao and smiled, "I am the regent of the Queen's Kingdom, Shen Xin. I happened to meet Princess Yunxi and Governor Xiao here and would like to invite you two to have a chat. I wonder if you two would be willing to do me the honor?"

Now that things have come to this, can Mu Yunyao say no?

"The Regent King wants to invite me, Yunxi naturally dare not refuse."

Shen Xin looked at the little girl in front of him and found it funny.

Although he is young, he has a bad temper.

She said that she dared not refuse, as if she was forced by me. She was blaming me for stopping her halfway.

However, she is already this old, so she naturally won't bother with a little girl.

He made a gesture of invitation with great enthusiasm.

"Princess, Lord Governor, please."

Mu Yunyao found it boring to see that the Regent King was not angry after being stabbed by her, but instead looked tolerant.

He then calmed down and took Xiao Qianmo's hand and walked upstairs.

The three of them entered a private room and sat down according to their positions. Then the Regent waved his hand and asked all his men to leave.

Those people seemed a little worried that their master was reluctant to leave, but with a look from the Regent, they retreated obediently.

After the others left, the Regent had no intention of taking off his veil. Instead, he stared at Mu Yunyao's face again and again.

Mu Yunyao felt a little confused by her gaze.

"What does the Regent mean? Is there something wrong with this prince?"

Seeing Mu Yunyao getting angry again, the Regent withdrew his gaze.

"That's not the case. I just thought the princess's face looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before, so I took a closer look."

Mu Yunyao's heart skipped a beat. She wondered if she had seen her mother when she said that.

She had heard from her grandfather and uncle that she looked 70% like her mother, and one could tell at a glance that they were mother and daughter.

Now, the Regent said that she looked like others. Could it be that she had seen her mother?

"Has the Regent seen anyone who looks like me?"

There was some anxiety in Mu Yunyao's tone, and the Regent immediately realized that she was looking for someone.

"What is the relationship between the person the princess is looking for and you?"

There was a hint of mischief in her eyes. How important could the person be to make Princess Yunxi, who was always known for her wisdom, look like this?

She had been investigating this person's past ever since Da Qi sent the letter.

Apart from her brother who was replaced in her early years, she had no lost relatives.

Could it be that she is looking for her mother who passed away young?

That's too ridiculous.

As the Regent thought about this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Xiao Qianmo could tell at a glance that this regent was not someone to be trifled with, so he quietly held Mu Yunyao's hand and answered for her.

"We're not looking for anyone, it's just that my wife heard that there's someone who looks like her and she's a little curious."

They still didn't know what the relationship was between the old friend the regent was talking about and her. He didn't dare to tell her who he was looking for.

The Regent is such a shrewd person. If he knew who they were looking for, who can say whether he would help them or interfere?

The Regent didn't believe a word Xiao Qianmo said, but she didn't care.

She just said it casually because she felt that Mu Yunyao looked familiar and had a feeling of wanting to get closer to her.

She didn't want to get involved in their private affairs, so if they didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask.

Seeing this, Xiao Qianmo simply changed the subject.

"I heard that the Regent is not from the Queen's Kingdom. I wonder where the Regent is from?"

This was a bit rude, and Xiao Qianmo admitted that he did it on purpose.

But this is no secret in the Queen's Kingdom.

The Queen Regent could see what he was thinking, but she considered herself to be open and honest and had nothing to hide.

She looked out the window with a somewhat empty look in her eyes, as if she was thinking about the distant past. After a long while, she spoke.

“That was more than ten years ago. I was rescued by a fishing couple. They said they found me at sea.

When they found me, I was floating on the sea holding a wooden board. They guessed that there must have been a shipwreck and I was washed in front of them by the waves.

They also didn't know where I came from, but based on the clothes I was wearing, they guessed that I was not from the Queen's Kingdom.

I had a brain injury at that time, and I have completely forgotten my past and past, and I don’t even know where I came from.”

The Regent spoke frankly, as if he didn't think it was an important secret.

The main reason is that she is now second only to the emperor and no one dares to ask her about this matter in person, and the king has already known her situation.

This was the first time someone asked her about her background in person, and she was a little curious.

The Regent asked back while looking at the two people in front of him.

"Then according to you two, do I look like a Daqi person?"

How should people respond to her question? Would the response make people think that they are trying to gain connections with her?

But the answer is no, then what basis do they have to say she doesn’t look like him? Isn’t this misleading?

Mu Yunyao did not answer directly, but asked, "The Regent King has nothing on him that can prove his identity?"
