As time passes, in the quiet depths of the Weave Cloud Dynasty palace, a search for the truth quietly unfolds. The efforts of Hua Xiu and Mochen have finally begun to gradually unveil the fog, getting closer to the truth. The inner struggle and unease in Hua Xiu's heart seem to find comfort in this moment, but it is followed by deeper doubts and fears.
On a clear morning, the palace is silent, only interrupted by the gentle chirping of birds. Hua Xiu arranges to meet Mochen at the Plum Blossom Pavilion, a secluded spot far from the bustle, where only a few palace maids and guards pass by, making it perfect for private conversation.
Mochen arrived on time, his simple eunuch attire not diminishing his dignified demeanor. Seeing Hua Xiu waiting in the pavilion, he whispered, "Your Majesty, these days Mochen has been fortunate not to disappoint, and finally made a discovery."
Hua Xiu's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she eagerly asked, "Mochen, quickly, what have you discovered?" Her voice carried an imperceptible tremor, clearly harboring anxiety about the impending revelation of the truth.
Mochen looked serious, took out a yellowed old scroll from his sleeve, and carefully unfolded it. Pointing to a section, he said, "Your Majesty, here it mentions that shortly after the queen gave birth to the little princess, a great fire broke out in the palace, and the princess went missing. Despite extensive searches, she was nowhere to be found."
Hua Xiu felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this, unable to hide her emotions. "This... this little princess, could it be..." Before she could finish, tears filled her eyes. In that moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions, a mix of excitement at the truth drawing near and fear of the unknown path ahead.
Mochen saw the situation and hurriedly comforted, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is just the beginning, and we still need more evidence to confirm everything." His tone was firm, showing his determination to protect Hua Xiu.
After taking a deep breath, Hua Xiu gradually calmed her emotions and said firmly, "No matter what the truth is, I will face it. I don't want my past to become an obstacle between Your Majesty and me, and I don't want this secret to become a source of trouble in the palace."
Mochen nodded in agreement, and the two of them began a more detailed investigation. They secretly interviewed the senior palace maids, examined a large number of palace archives, and even took great risks to sneak into the forbidden areas of the royal palace in search of possible evidence.
In the late-night palace, a light breeze blew through, carrying a slight chill. Mochen and Hua Xiu were dressed in dark night clothes, evading the patrolling palace maids, silently moving through the dark corners of the palace. Mochen's eyes were firm and profound, and every step he took seemed particularly careful, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the night.
Hua Xiu followed behind Mochen, her heart couldn't help but race. Although she had a naive and cute personality, in moments like this, she had to admit that her heart was filled with tension and worry. However, when she saw Mochen's focused figure, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
They first arrived at the palace archives, where various documents and records from the palace's hundreds of years were stored. Under Mochen's guidance, Hua Xiu began to look through these ancient palace archives. Every page she turned seemed to reveal a glimpse of history. Mochen was focused, his fingers quickly scanning through the text. Whenever he found useful information, he would mark it with a special ink brush.
While searching through the files, Hua Xiu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, " Mochen, do you really think I have a connection to the royal family?" Her voice carried a hint of uncertainty and anticipation. Mochen paused in his actions, turned to look at her, and with a determined look in his eyes, said, "Xiu'er, since there's a possibility, we should seek the truth. Whatever the result, I will be by your side."
Later, they ventured into the forbidden area of the royal family, a secret place only accessible to royal members. There, they finally found the jade pendant engraved with the royal emblem. This jade pendant was hidden within an ancient manuscript, seemingly untouched for many years.
When Hua Xiu saw the jade pendant, her heart was filled with shock and disbelief. She gently touched the engravings on the jade pendant, the pattern of which was remarkably similar to her own, as if it was revealing a secret unknown to others. Mochen stood by her side, his eyes filled with complex emotions. The discovery of this jade pendant could potentially change Hua Xiu's destiny.
At that moment, Hua Xiu almost confirmed that she was the missing princess from years ago. This truth shocked her and left her in immense struggle. She didn't know how to face Yun Fuyi, and she was uncertain about the repercussions of revealing her true identity within the palace.
And the truth of all this is about to cause a huge stir in the Weave Cloud Dynasty, everything in the palace will change because of this.
In that dim forbidden place, the jade pendant in Hua Xiu's hand was not only cold, but the weight it carried made her arm numb. Her eyes were confused and complex, as if she saw her own sad reflection in the brilliant luster of the jade pendant. Mochen's voice seemed to come from a distance, through the heavy mist, bringing Hua Xiu a little comfort.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Mochen asked with deep concern in his voice.
Hua Xiu lifted her head slightly and forced a faint smile, but it couldn't hide the sorrow on her face and the confusion in her eyes. She responded softly, "Mochen, I... I'm just having a hard time accepting it."
Mochen approached gently, reaching out to comfort her shoulder, but hesitated for a moment. In the end, he simply stood quietly by her side. It seemed that at this moment, any words would be superfluous.
Hua Xiu turned around, tightly gripping the jade pendant in her hand, her brow furrowed in apparent struggle. Her voice trembled noticeably as she said, "Mochen, if I am truly the princess who disappeared years ago, then what about me and Your Majesty..."
Mochen deeply understood the meaning behind her words, and his heart was also in turmoil. He gently replied, "Your Majesty, although this matter is significant, it may not be unsolvable. We need to proceed with caution, ascertain the truth, and then make a decision."
Hua Xiu nodded, but her heart was in complete chaos. On that quiet night, Hua Xiu's state of mind was as tumultuous as a raging storm. Her body trembled lightly, filled with indescribable pain. As she lifted her head, her clear eyes were full of confusion and fear, her voice trembling slightly: "If I am truly the long-lost princess, and Your Majesty is like a brother to me, then between us..." Wouldn't it be incest?
Before she could finish her sentence, a huge wave of sadness surged up in her heart like a tide. She could no longer control her emotions, and tears fell from her eyes like broken pearls. In this moment, Hua Xiu felt helpless and fragile, her usual cheerfulness and strength seemed to have vanished.
Seeing this, Mochen felt unbearable sadness. He deeply understood Hua Xiu's pain and struggle, so without hesitation, he gently embraced her, letting her lean on his solid chest, trying to comfort her. His voice was low and full of solace: "Your Majesty, no matter the truth, you don't have to bear this alone."
Hua Xiu heard these words, and although her heart was still in turmoil, she seemed to feel a hint of warmth. Her tears continued to fall, but in Mochen's embrace, she found temporary peace. Her voice trembled as she said, "But our feelings, my future with Your Majesty..."
Mochen gently stroked Hua Xiu's back and comforted her, "Your Majesty, it's always darkest before the dawn. We may not be able to foresee the future now, but as long as we hold onto hope, there will always be a glimmer of light waiting for us." His gaze was firm, as if it held the power to pierce through any darkness.
Hua Xiu gradually calmed down in Mochen's embrace. She knew deeply that in the face of such a predicament, she needed not only courage, but also wisdom and determination. At this moment, she was no longer the lonely and helpless Hua Xiu. In this long night, she was not alone.
"Your Majesty, no matter what the future holds, we will find a solution. You are not alone. Your Majesty, I, and many others in the palace who care about you, we will all be with you," Mochen's voice was full of warmth, and his words seemed to give Hua Xiu strength.
Hua Xiu lifted her head, her eyes shimmering with tears and uncertainty. The road ahead would be extremely difficult, but she understood that only by facing the truth could she find the way forward.
"Mochen, thank you. I... I will be strong. Let's search for the truth together. Whatever the outcome, I will face it with courage," Hua Xiu said, her voice still weak but carrying an unmistakable strength.
Mochen nodded, and their eyes shimmered with an indomitable light. In that dim forbidden place, their spirits achieved a wondrous resonance at that moment, as if telling them that as long as they never gave up, there would be no difficulty they couldn't overcome.
Afterwards, they carefully concealed the jade pendant and quietly left the forbidden place, returning to their respective residences. In the following days, they conducted their investigations with even greater caution, attempting to find more evidence to confirm Hua Xiu's identity.
Hua Xiu, whenever the night is quiet, she always sits alone by the window, gazing at the stars, her heart filled with endless thoughts. The path to finding the truth may change her life, but she is prepared to face everything. Under that starry sky, her soul seems to find peace.
