Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 419 The Last One Knows
As time went by, Empress Xian's body gradually recovered and she began to recognize the people around her, but she still mistook Aliang for her daughter.
"Aliang, come here and let me comb your hair." Empress Xian pulled Aliang to sit in front of the mirror and gently combed her hair with a wooden comb.
Through the mirror, Aliang secretly looked at Concubine Xian's loving expression, and thought to himself that if he really had a mother, she would probably look like this!
Perhaps because she had been staring for too long, Empress Xian suddenly looked up, and their eyes met in the mirror.
Aliang quickly lowered his head, trying to hide his inner turmoil.
Empress Xian smiled and said, "My precious daughter is the most beautiful. Girls should comb their hair frequently to make their hair more beautiful."
Ah Liang quietly clenched the corner of her sleeves, her heart full of contradictions. She once resented her parents for abandoning her mercilessly, but she also comforted herself by saying that maybe they had their own reasons.
She has always treasured the night-shining pearl that she has carried with her since she was a baby. It is the only memory left to her by her parents. Even in the most difficult times, she has never thought of selling it.
Although he has not found his biological parents yet, he has met Empress Xian and felt the unprecedented family warmth. If he really had a complete family, it should be such a warm picture!
However, in the eyes of bystanders, there is another picture hidden behind this warmth.
Baili Yan, standing outside the door, clenched his fists, feeling extremely painful.
He stared at the intimacy between Concubine Xian and Aliang, his eyes filled with deep sadness and cold determination.
"Your Highness?" The old nanny approached with the potion, and seeing the Seventh Prince standing still at the door, she called softly. Baili Yan came to his senses, turned around and left quickly, leaving behind a lonely figure.
"Your Highness..." The old nanny's face was full of worry. She found it increasingly difficult to guess what His Highness was thinking.
Baili Yan quickly left Concubine Xian's residence. Every second he stayed there, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe.
Before he knew it, he had reached his mother's room, which had been his childhood paradise.
He slowly walked towards a jewelry box he had never touched before. He knew there was a night-shining pearl hidden inside, which his mother would often take out to clean. Whenever she did so, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Now he finally understood that his mother was missing the daughter she had sent away.
Holding the night-shining pearl, Baili Yan's hands trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes. It turned out that he was just a substitute, a pawn that his mother had found to consolidate her position.
In her heart, only her biological daughter was important, and as for him, he seemed dispensable.
I sat there for a long time. It was so quiet around me that the only sound I could hear was my own heartbeat.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Aliang walked in. He was startled to see someone in the room, then bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Baili Yan just glanced at Aliang and didn't say anything.
Aliang explained, "I'm here to get the queen's hairpin." Seeing that Baili Yan didn't respond, he continued to walk forward.
Immersed in thought, Baili Yan was playing with the bead in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the bead accidentally slipped, rolled on the ground for a few times and stopped at Aliang's feet.
Aliang bent down to pick up the bead, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Baili Yan was still sitting there, seemingly unaware of the bead falling.
Aliang walked up to him and handed the bead back, "Your Highness, your night-shining pearl fell."
Only then did Baili Yan recover and take the pearl. Ah Liang stared at the night-shining pearl. She remembered it very clearly because she had an identical one herself. The texture and shape were surprisingly similar, like twins carved from the same original stone.
"Does this night-shining pearl belong to His Highness?" Ah Liang couldn't help but ask. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The night-shining pearl that had accompanied her since childhood actually appeared in the hands of the Seventh Prince. What did this mean?
Baili Yan raised his head and looked at Aliang with deep eyes. He asked back: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious, where did it come from?" Aliang became nervous. Perhaps through this bead, she could find some clues about her parents.
"Oh? Do you want it too?" Baili Yan's tone was flat, but his eyes revealed a hint of subtle curiosity.
"No..." Aliang took out a purse from his arms and gently poured out a night-shining pearl, the light of which was no different from that of your Highness's pearl.
"This night-shining pearl is a relic left to me by my parents. It has been with me as I grew up. The one in Your Highness's hand is the same, right? Do you know my parents? Where did they get this pearl?" Aliang asked softly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Baili Yan's eyes widened instantly, and his gaze was fixed on the night-shining pearl in Aliang's hand. The two pearls were exactly the same, like twin brothers. His body stiffened involuntarily, and his fingers began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, he stood up and grabbed Aliang's wrist. Due to long-term martial arts training, Aliang instinctively fought back and quickly pinched the seventh prince's wrist. When she realized the other party's identity, she slowly loosened her grip.
"Tell me, where did your night-shining pearl come from?" Baili Yan's eyes widened with anger.
Ah Liang was confused by this sudden action, but she still answered honestly: "This is a souvenir left by my parents. It has been with me since I was a child."
Hearing this, Baili Yan's eyes became sharper, "Is it really yours?"
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Aliang's face was somewhat similar to his deceased mother's, with the same gentle eyes, but with a more alert look.
A series of images flashed through his mind: his mother's loving smile, the hesitant expressions of the old maids in the palace...
It turns out that the truth has always been hidden around us and has never been far away.
"It's you...you are the secret." Baili Yan's voice was low and trembling, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.
Aliang looked at him in confusion, totally not understanding why the prince in front of him was so agitated.
Then, Baili Yan took a few steps back, his face showing shock at first and then a wry smile, tears welling up in his eyes, "Why am I the only one who knew last? Everyone is deceiving me!"
Holding tightly the cold yet scalding hot night pearl in his hand, Baili Yan finally threw it hard to the ground and turned to leave the room.
Ah Liang stared at the departing figure, frowning, confused. What did everything that just happened mean? Could it be that all this had something to do with him?
Aliang was silent for a moment, his thoughts tangled like a tangled mess. He simply put aside his worries, picked up the night pearl on the ground quietly, and wiped it carefully with his sleeve.
When the two pearls are placed side by side, their light shines together, just like the meeting of stars.
