Consorts Liu, Changyi, Hao Xiang and Hu Chu stood up and welcomed the arrival of Jian Heng and Fang Yin. They were mesmerized by her new appearance and felt a different aura from her.
After hugging and letting go of longing with Consort Tang, Jian Heng walked over to Consort Liu and her two older brothers. They were both delighted and envious of the cultivation improvement that Jian Heng had.
"Sister Heng! You forgot me!" hu Chu exclaimed as he swept his lips.
Everyone laughed at the funny behavior of the youngest. Jian Heng immediately hugged his little sister and kissed her head.
Concubine Tang carried Fang Yin sitting beside her between herself and Consort Liu. The three women had different discussions when they met.
Fang Yin's sealed appearance did not show any change since from the start no one knew what it was like.
Their excitement invited Empress Han to step down after Emperor Xi asked the Imperial Council to leave the room. Right now he wanted to celebrate his meeting with Jian Heng and Fang Yin. They hadn't met for long.
After enough pleasantries, Jian Heng began to prepare to speak seriously to his father and express the intent of his arrival.
"Dad, I came with Yin'er with a purpose. But before that, I want to say something very important and a little surprising. I hope there's no misunderstanding after this." Jian Heng spoke with both palms fused together.
"Tell me," said Emperor Xi with a face as serious as Jian Heng.
Jian Heng turned his head towards Fang Yin and asked him to come closer.
What Jian Heng did made his entire family feel astonished. The atmosphere in the room instantly became silent. They were waiting for what the two of them would say.
Fang Yin sat down beside Jian Heng and prepared himself to open his identity in front of the great family of Emperor Xi.
'I'm more nervous to face this situation than I am to face a very dangerous enemy. May they trust me as Emperor Gu's slandered daughter.' Fang Yin tried to calm down.
Jian Heng started talking and conveying about who Fang Yin really was. He revealed about the story of Fang Yin's journey after the massacre committed by Emperor Ning.
Not only that, Jian Heng also said the evidences stating that Fang Yin was really Emperor Gu's biological daughter. Starting from the Nine Star Sect Old Chief, the Thousand Eyes Swordsman statement, was also the testimony of Consort Ning who stated that she was guilty.
Emperor Xi examined the statement after statement conveyed by Jian Heng carefully. He had actually known since Fang Yin's arrival for the first time, but he did not dare to speculate and conjecture.
His noble aura was so powerful and he had abilities that reflected his qualities. Emperor Xi only teased his son by displaying a difficult attitude to guess.
"I've met Emperor Gu. I also met his eldest son. They look very similar. At that time his third concubine was pregnant, maybe it was you" explained Emperor Xi.
"I don't mind if Your Majesty and everyone wants to see my face. Concubine Ning said I had a slight resemblance to father at a glance." Fang Yin prepared to open the cover of his face.
Hao Xiang and Changyi looked extremely excited. All this time they had never seen Fang Yin's face so they were so excited. They did not want to miss this golden opportunity.
Emperor Xi shook his head at the mannerisms of his two sons. They had always tried to scramble for Fang Yin's attention even though it was obvious that Jian Heng was the winner.
Jian Heng looked resigned and hoped that his two brothers would not compete for Fang Yin's attention anymore.
"Wait!" the Emperor Xi.
Everyone looked towards him and hoped that Emperor Xi would not hinder Fang Yin from revealing his face. Although it did not matter what it looked like, but at least they would not feel curious anymore. It didn't matter if after this Fang Yin would cover his face again.
"Alright, Father," Hao Xiang and Changyi replied lazily.
Previously they had had had an interest in Fang Yin and did not care what kind of face she was. It is still the same now. Emperor Xi's statement made their guts shrink and did not dare to violate it.
After delivering the warning, Emperor Xi invited Fang Yin to show him his face.
Feeling nervous, Fang Yin found it difficult to open the straps of her face cover. Jian Heng took the initiative to help him and slowly untied that bond. After his bond was broken, Jian Heng allowed Fang Yin to open his own face cover.
The room became quiet. It was not only Fang Yin who was pounding as he wanted to show his face. However, Emperor Xi's family also experienced the same thing under different conditions.
Slowly Fang Yin moved her hand to pull the cover of her face. Little by little his face was visible and completely open.
Emperor Xi's family was so fascinated with Fang Yin's beauty. They did not see the slightest blemish on his face even though he had previously ventured to live in the wild.
The little prince Hu Chu who did not know any love affairs looked at Fang Yin without blinking. "Miss Yin, beautiful," she said.
Everyone laughed at him and made him feel ashamed. He then turned and hid his face behind his mother's sleeves.
"So you want to compete with me, Hu Chu," joked Jian Heng.
"Of course Miss Yin chose me. He said he liked me." Hu Chu did not want to lose to Jian Heng.
He doesn't know what liking means to an adult. His innocence makes him a laughingstock. However, this time Hu Chu laughed and was not shy anymore.
Emperor Xi asked Fang Yin to cover his face again before anyone came there. Although many already know if he is still alive, but his current condition cannot be said to be safe.
Jian Heng said his time there was not long and should immediately return to the Silver Mountain. He asked Emperor Xi for permission to take a select army and several royal commanders.
For the Middle Continent Empire, Fang Yin was more than just a daughter-in-law. Emperor Xi felt he owed his life. Whatever troops he wanted, he did not feel any objection to it.
Hao Xiang and Changyi were also ready to help. They will bring in special forces under his leadership.
Emperor Xi looked so proud and happy to see his sons living in harmony. He walked over to accompany them to the army dormitory.
Jian Heng rarely stayed in the palace so he did not know the select group of warriors that had always been the mainstay of Emperor Xi. Only he, Hao Xiang and Changyi knew about this.
As they were currently engrossed in chatting, Concubine Tang suddenly came with Fang Yin to catch up. All this time no one knew about Consort Tang's martial ability other than Emperor Xi alone.
"Mother, this is not the right place for you. Is there anything important or is mother still missing me." asked Jian Heng.
"I will be part of the army that will go to attack the Ning Empire," Consort Tang said.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief. They thought that Consort Tang was just joking.
