Yun Dai listened to him talk about the Eastern Peak for a long time, and her mind was a little dazed.

"So, what does this have to do with Princess Xuan's pregnancy?"

"Wait, I haven't finished yet!"

That historical record was actually a secret, not circulated to the outside world.

He obtained it under extremely accidental circumstances.

There is a record that states that women born into the Dongyue royal family almost always remained unmarried for life!

Even if she gets married, she will not have children.

This is because they suffer from a bloodline-related disease that is passed down only to women, not men.

Pregnancy often brings a host of discomforts, and most mothers and babies perish before giving birth.

Even if they manage to escape by sheer luck, it will be a near-death experience.

The symptoms of Princess Xuan are quite similar to these, aren't they?

Yun Dai was somewhat surprised; it really did look very similar!

but……

"Shen Fu is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, how could she possibly have any connection with the Dongyue royal family?"

That's right!

Duke Shen Ting'an of Zhenguo had five sons and one daughter. Shen Fu was his only daughter and was regarded as the apple of his eye since childhood, which was common knowledge.

He only thought of this incident by chance because he heard her mention that Shen Fu's pregnancy was abnormal.

It must just be a coincidence!

Suddenly remembering something, Yun Dai pushed him away and hurriedly ran out.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Jun Jingyan's eyes darkened.

He thought he had a general idea, but now he realizes he is still far from the truth.

After Yun Dai left, she immediately found the man and told him her guess.

"Your mother is very likely a member of the Dongyue royal family."

The man's heart sank.

The day he was born was the day his mother passed away.

All I could hear about my mother was from other people.

All she knew was that when her father planned to marry her, everyone opposed it.

They minded that she wasn't from the Underworld, and her father had never revealed her true identity.

But my father did indeed visit Mount Dongyue during his travels.

All indications suggest that what Yun Dai said is very likely true.

If that's the case, then their investigation was misguided from the start.

Because of the tragedy caused by his father and mother's marriage, coupled with the notes left by Elder Qing before his death, he once believed that the bloodline of the Underworld Palace was incompatible with the outside world.

But unexpectedly, the reason came from the mother.

If she really was born into the Dongyue royal family, then wouldn't she also have "cursed" blood flowing through her veins?

Therefore, Shen Fucai...

As if sensing his concerns, Yun Dai quickly comforted him, "Don't think too much. The secret text records in detail that this disease is passed down to women but not men, and only through the mother's line, not the father's. It ends with you. Shen Fu's situation is different from your mother's."

The man gave her a deep look. "Until the facts are confirmed, these are just speculations. No one can be sure whether the records in that secret book are true or false."

He certainly hoped it was true.

If we can determine that Shen Fu's symptoms are different from her mother's, we might be able to find another solution.

Yun Dai understood his concerns and quickly comforted him, "Isn't the Crown Prince of Dongyue about to visit Yongchao? We can take advantage of this opportunity to see if we can find any valuable clues from him."

Emperor Yong assigned the Second Prince to receive the Western Regions Empress and Princess, but left the Crown Prince of Dongyue to him.

It seems everything is fate!

After clearing his thoughts, he suddenly spoke: "You just said that the Second Prince knows about what happened before?"

Yun Dai thought he was going to "settle accounts" with her, and she was so frightened that she shuddered.

He once said that if a single word of this matter were to be leaked, he would burn down her Sacred Healing Valley.

Now that things have been "exposed," he probably doesn't think he leaked it himself, does he?

What if I actually do that in a fit of rage?

She was even more wronged than Dou E!

"I really didn't say anything; he guessed it himself."

Fearing he wouldn't believe her, she immediately raised three fingers to swear, her expression still perfectly serious.

Seeing her like this, the man couldn't help but find it amusing.

When did he ever say he suspected her?

Although Yun Dai usually appears to be unserious, she is actually very sensible when it comes to important matters.

Jun Jingyan was too clever; he noticed something amiss from the slightest clue.

"Besides these, what else does he know?"

Yun Dai quickly shook her head, "No, no, he absolutely doesn't know about you and Xuan... cough cough, don't worry!"

Thinking back to when she first learned about this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

After returning home, I was unable to calm down for a long time.

No matter how I think about it, this whole thing seems too fantastical.

One was the renowned God of War of the Great Yong Dynasty, and the other was the powerful Lord of the Underworld.

People who are completely unrelated are, by chance, the same person!

Even if Jun Jingyan has a rich imagination, he couldn't possibly connect them together!

The man was also dissatisfied with this.

Having spent time with him over the years, he knew that the Second Prince was indeed a virtuous gentleman.

He was able to pay attention to these things not because he doubted himself, but because he cared too much about Yun Dai.

Moreover, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; at least he provided a crucial clue.

He was indeed grateful for this.

"I just wanted to remind you that the Second Prince is a good person, and you should cherish him."

"..."

Did the topic jump around so quickly?

Just a moment ago, her heart was pounding wildly, thinking he was going to settle scores with her, but now he's concerned about her love life?

When this matter was mentioned, Yun Dai's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.

"What? You've known me for a long time. I'm just upset about the treasures listed in the ledger. How could a man be more important than money?"

"The night you discovered my identity, he stayed in your room for a long time before leaving. You would never have allowed a strange man to get close to you if you didn't want to, so you had already fallen for him."

Yun Dai was so frightened that she couldn't breathe.

Help!

What's wrong with them? Are they all mind readers?

It's one thing for Jun Jingyan to see right through her feelings today, but why did he...?

"You haven't explicitly accepted the Second Prince because you're still bothered by what happened back then, right? Actually, you don't need to take it to heart. That wasn't love at all; it was just temporary admiration."

Yun Dai was deeply moved when she heard him say such a thing.

This is indeed a problem that she has always been concerned about.

After all, she had once been passionately in love with him, and had even said that she would repay his life-saving grace with her body.

The thought of being with someone else under his nose is incredibly awkward.

Therefore, her first reaction to Jun Jingyan's confession was not to be moved, but rather to feel conflicted and embarrassed.

If Shen Fu hadn't used the ledger to "force" her, she probably would have continued to run away!
