Chapter 854 - 751: Defying Destiny, So This Is How It Is (Thanks to "Sorrowful Waiting" for the extra - with the monthly ticket)

Ji Youzhi and Xiaosuisui had no idea how much Princess Ata had to sacrifice initially for her own self-preservation.

And now, what is she plotting to safeguard Nanjiang?

At this moment, their attention was focused on Lu Yunsheng.

"Did you attempt to assassinate His Majesty under Niuniu’s direction as well?"

Ji Youzhi asked.

Now, after Suisui’s explanation, Ji Youzhi also understood that the fundamental reason Niuniu was completely controlled by Xunyang was due to her young age. Her divine soul was unstable, and her self-awareness was not firm.

"Niuniu?"

Lu Yunsheng murmured softly, unfamiliar with the name.

"She’s the one who greatly increased your power."

Jiyo explained matter-of-factly.

"It was her. She told me that as long as I killed Emperor Yuansheng, I could avenge all the people of the Prince’s Mansion!"

"But I clearly heard you say earlier that only by killing His Majesty could you be with your beloved woman. Your beloved woman is Pan’Er, and did you know before that Pan’Er has an innate Phoenix Destiny?"

Ji Youzhi asked this question, his eyes tightly locked onto Lu Yunsheng’s eyes.

Lu Yunsheng shook his head with no hesitation.

"Initially, I didn’t know Pan’Er had an innate Phoenix Destiny until Niuniu told me. Before that, I had heard that Xie Yingying was the one with the Phoenix Destiny.

Later, Niuniu informed me that it wasn’t Xie Yingying but Xie Pan’Er. Moreover, Xie Yingying was supposed to have a destiny of early death. It was he who helped Xie Yingying defy fate, swapping Xie Pan’Er’s fate with Xie Yingying’s, deceiving everyone. That was how Xie Yingying could grow up safely."

Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but widen his eyes. In this way, everything made sense.

"Do you know how she helped Xie Yingying defy fate?

Is it possible to break the spell of fate-defying?"

Lu Yunsheng shook his head.

"I didn’t ask, but I guess, since Xie Pan’Er and Xie Yingying were inseparable from a young age due to the wishes of Madam Xie, maybe Niuniu’s mention of fate-defying was related to this!"

Ji Youzhi understood how he should investigate this matter after returning to the capital. Madam Xie must be one of the informed parties.

"I’ll ask you one last time. Are you truly the son of Prince Qing?"

This was the most crucial point!

Lu Yunsheng nodded, "The royal descendants are recorded in the Royal Jade Record from birth. When I was born, it was the old Nanny from the Palace who delivered me, and I have a blue thumbprint-shaped birthmark on my lower back.

Whether true or not, you can verify it."

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi nodded and personally inspected Lu Yunsheng’s birthmark, planning to confront the old Nanny in the Imperial Palace afterwards.

If all these matched, combined with the Royal Jade Butterfly, as long as everything could be verified, Lu Yunsheng’s identity would be unequivocally confirmed.

"I’ve learned all this now, and whether it’s true or false, I will investigate thoroughly."

Having said this, Ji Youzhi looked towards Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui nodded and put away the Soul-Calling Bell.

Lu Yunsheng closed his eyes, and the whole person fell into a deep slumber.

"Let’s go!"

Ji Youzhi took Xiaosuisui’s hand, intending to leave.

Xiaosuisui shook her head, "He has a bug inside his body; let’s remove it first!"

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi paused, laughed involuntarily, and reached out to pat her little head.

"Uncle Seven almost forgot, our Suisui has such a great talent!

Go ahead!

Uncle Seven will protect you on the side!"

Xiaosuisui happily responded, "Alright!"

Then she began to act.

At this time, everything was going smoothly for Xiaosuisui in the prison, but elsewhere, things were far more dire.
