BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1431 - Gone
Chapter 1431: Gone
This was the only way she could think of.
“I don’t think there’s any other way other than DNA. It’s more convincing.”
Queen Yulia gripped the towel on her lap tightly. Shen Fanxing stared quietly at the poised old lady who couldn’t suppress her nervousness. A few seconds later, she said,
“There’s no need for DNA. Just tell me. Your mother…”
“Your Majesty, the hot water is ready. Please take a hot bath as soon as possible.”
Leah suddenly walked out of the bathroom and interrupted Queen Yulia “unconsciously”.
Only then did the Queen look enlightened. She hurriedly said, “Go take a bath and get rid of the cold.”
–
Seeing Shen Fanxing enter the bathroom, Leah walked to Queen Yulia.
“Your Majesty, although what Princess Bailey did was wrong, what she said makes sense. You care too much about this matter, so it’s inevitable that you’ll be impulsive…”
“Leah, I know you’re worried.” Queen Yulia interrupted Leah’s earnest persuasion. “I was rash just now, but this is about Phoneix. I can’t not react at all.
I miss her, Leah. I miss her too much… This girl has given me hope… I have a feeling that she is… my daughter’s child…”
Her voice was choked and her heart ached so much that she could barely breathe.
Tears streamed down Queen Yulia’s face again. She clutched her chest tightly and her shoulders trembled.
Her sorrowful expression made one’s heart ache.
Tears glistened in Leah’s eyes.
“Lia knows, Your Majesty… Don’t be too sad. Miss Shen is here. There are still many ways to verify…”
Queen Yulia nodded and looked in the direction of the bathroom, her eyes filled with anticipation.
–
Ye Jingyun took the shortest time to get here.
When the door was knocked, Queen Yulia frowned.
Leah looked at the electronic device and said softly,
“It’s Princess Ava.”
Yulia’s expression darkened. “Why are there only the three of them acting tonight? They said I’m sleeping!”
Leah nodded and walked to the door. She opened it and said softly,
“Princess Ava, the Queen is tired today and has decided to rest. You can come back tomorrow.”
Ye Jingyun frowned slightly, but she smiled and said, “Lia, there are clearly outsiders in Mother’s dormitory. Why are you sleeping now?”
Leah’s eyebrows twitched. “Princess Ava, do we have to make things clear? Her Majesty is very tired and doesn’t want to see anyone. Is that clear?”
Leah repeated the incident again, making Ye Jingyun want to slap this old woman.
Her lips twitched and she couldn’t maintain her expression.
“Lia, I’ve heard some things from Bailey. As my mother’s personal attendant, how can you allow such an unknown person to get close to her? After all, she’s the ruler of Country Y. Can she meet anyone?”
“…”
Ye Jingyun didn’t even give Leah a chance to speak and said,
“Also, please consider our identities and think about how to speak to me… Is it because I’ve been aloof from worldly affairs for so many years and look very easygoing that you’ve forgotten that I’m the princess of Country Y?”
Leah’s face gradually tightened. Soon, her lips curled into a sneer as she said,
“That’s right. Since you know that you’re the noble princess of Country Y, why did you suddenly enter the palace at such a late hour and argue with me at the door? Princess Ava, you’ve never acted so rashly before.
I’m really curious. Other than the special occasion of the state banquet today, why are the three of you so… nervous?”
Ye Jingyun’s eyebrows twitched as panic surged in her heart. Her fingers that were hanging by her sides curled slightly as she gulped and said slowly,
“…A person of unknown origin tried so hard to get close to Mother with ulterior motives. Do you think we shouldn’t be worried?”
“Who said her background is unknown?”
Yulia’s dark and cold voice came from the room. Leah turned and saw her walking out. She immediately turned and stood aside respectfully.
Ye Jingyun straightened her body and strode into the room.
“Mother, what are you thinking? You want to keep anyone by your side…”
Yulia frowned. Now that all her thoughts were focused on one thing, she had no time to argue with her. “Why are you here so late?”
“Of course, I’m afraid that you’ll be deceived by someone on impulse.”
Ye Jingyun supported Ulea as they walked in. As she spoke, she sized up the room.
Confusion flashed across her eyes when she didn’t see anyone.
Queen Yulia said coldly, “As expected of mother and daughter. How stupid do you think I am?”
Ye Jingyun sighed and said earnestly.
“Mother, people are unpredictable. There are many bold people now. It’s not impossible for someone to exploit your weakness. You’ve watched me grow up. You also know how respectful Bailey and Bei Xi are to you. Do you think we’re disloyal to you? Don’t conclude that she’s the person you’re looking for just because of a song…”
“Ava,” said Queen Yulia suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Mother?”
Yulia looked up at Ye Jingyun expressionlessly. “Are you telling me the truth?”
Ye Jingyun was stunned and couldn’t react.
“What?”
“Back then, you told me that my daughter, Phoneix, was dead. Is that true?”
Ye Jingyun’s face froze and her palms turned cold. Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
Back then…
Looking at her, Yulia narrowed her eyes slowly and asked again,
“Was what you said back then true?”
The strong sense of oppression made Ye Jingyun’s heart tremble. She didn’t even dare to breathe.
“Of course… it’s true… I saw her body being cremated with my own eyes…”
Yes, because she was cremated, she would never have the chance to see her daughter again.
However, she was still fantasizing countless times. If her daughter was still around, what kind of life would she be living every day? Would someone give her a good life on New Year’s Day? Would she grow up healthily? Would she go to school well? Would she meet the prince she liked? Would she have a handsome and beautiful child?
In her world, her daughter had always been alive, living in a corner of the world.
But Ava was always the one who had to face reality and remind her that her daughter was gone.
