Chapter 302 The truth is not important
No wonder Yan Yin subconsciously called Xiao Qingque "sister" the first time she saw her. It turned out that it was because Xiao Qingque looked too much like her sister.

And Yan Yin had just said that it was not only Bai Jun and his daughter who disappeared twenty-one years ago, but also his wife.

"My elder sister was Bai Jun's favorite wife. At that time, she had just given birth to a daughter for Bai Jun, who was the princess who later disappeared."

As Yan Yin spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Qingque who was still in a daze, and handed the phone to her.

Xiao Qingque subconsciously took the phone and looked at it. When she saw the old photos on it, she was also stunned.

"I still remember clearly what happened twenty-one years ago. At that time, His Highness Bai Jun had a child. The whole country of Bai Ye celebrated. The entire royal city was decorated with lights and everyone was crazy with joy. I was in the palace taking care of my sister who was very weak after giving birth. My sister's daughter was also beside her."

Yan Yin continued to tell Shen Cheng and Ning Qing what happened twenty-one years ago.

"Then, there was a sudden commotion outside, and my sister asked me to go out and take a look. When I got outside, I found that everyone was saying that His Highness Bai Jun was missing and couldn't be found. So I hurried back to tell my sister the news."

Yan Yin's face turned ugly. "But when I returned to the room, I found that my sister and her daughter were also missing. I searched everywhere like crazy, but I still can't find them."

Having said this, Yan Yin fell silent, and Shen Cheng and Ning Qing were also digesting what she had said.

After a moment of silence, Yan Yin continued, "My sister's status is far inferior to that of His Highness Bai Jun and his daughter, so people outside don't care about my sister's disappearance at all. Over time, not many people even remember her existence."

The story told by Yan Yin, coupled with the old photos she took out, and the experience of Xiao Qingque being forced to leave the Eternal Empire when she was a baby, made it hard not to suspect that Xiao Qingque was Bai Jun's missing daughter.

At least that's what Ning Qing thought. At this moment, her expression was like she was watching some melodramatic drama about wealthy families, filled with a sense of explosion.

"Have you seen the photo? I'm your aunt."

Yan Yin's eyes were filled with tears as she gently hugged Xiao Qingque: "Child, you are finally back."

Xiao Qingque was in a daze, his CPU still in a state of being overheated.

This woman was just calling her sister, and now she suddenly becomes aunt. Has the generation hierarchy in your family always been so messed up?

She didn't react, mainly because she didn't expect that she would turn from a fake princess into a real princess and find her long-lost relatives?

Watching this scene of loving aunt and filial daughter, Shen Cheng couldn't tell whether Yan Yin was acting or expressing her true feelings.

Regardless of whether Xiao Qingque is real or fake, as long as her identity as Bai Jun's daughter can be confirmed, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for the entire Baiyue Kingdom.

The entire Eternal Empire is a country where bloodline is supreme. In fact, it is a country formed because of bloodline. Bai Jun is the foundation of the White Night Kingdom and the basis of its existence.

A large number of high-ranking officials and nobles in the Baiye Kingdom are Bai Jun’s servants, and the servants’ descendants are all counted as Bai Jun’s lineage. They are proud of their descent from Bai Jun.

Once Xiao Qingque, the true descendant of Bai Jun, returns, one can imagine how fanatical those who claim to be descendants of Bai Jun will be.

Therefore, even if Yan Yin might still have doubts about Xiao Qingque's identity and origin, as long as she looked at Xiao Qingque's face, she would probably confirm Xiao Qingque's identity at all costs and make her the real princess of Baiye Kingdom.

However, there was one thing Shen Cheng didn't say.

Xiao Qingque was a human before, but was turned into a vampire by Du Haijing.

If she is Bai Jun's daughter, then she must be a natural vampire. How could she become a human again?

Therefore, there must be no blood relationship between Xiao Qingque and Bai Jun. There must be other reasons why he looks so similar to his wife.

Shen Cheng had no intention of exposing this. It would be good for everyone if Xiao Qingque became a real princess, so why would he be so tactless as to expose it?

As for why Xiao Qingque looks so much like Sister Yan Yin, Shen Cheng remembered one thing - he and Tianguan look almost exactly the same.

I'm afraid we'll have to ask Du Tianming, the instigator, about the reason behind this.

What exactly does Du Tianming want to do by turning him and Xiao Qingque into other people's appearances?
"Thank you both for sending Her Royal Highness the Princess back."

Yan Yin had recovered from her excitement and turned to Shen Cheng and Ning Qing and said, "As for the alliance, I can agree to it now."

Shen Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he had made a solemn promise in front of Ji Chan, he was actually not completely sure of success on this trip.

Ning Qing knew the political environment within the Baiye Kingdom, and asked, "Mr. Regent, are you sure you can convince the parliament?"

"You chose me instead of the parliament as your alliance partner. Aren't you sure I can convince them?"

Yan Yin smiled confidently, then looked at Xiao Qingque: "As long as the princess is here, the parliament will never object."

Xiao Qingque already understood the situation and knew that his experience perfectly matched that of the missing princess of Baiye Kingdom, and that he looked exactly like Sister Yan Yin.

But Xiao Qingque, like Shen Cheng, knew that he was once a living human being, not a vampire.

So Yan Yin must have recognized the wrong person.

Xiao Qingque and Shen Cheng exchanged glances and then chose to hide it.

After all, her mission was to pretend to be a princess, and there was no better start than to make Yan Yin misunderstand.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The young secretary pushed the door open and walked in, his expression calm but with a hint of panic in his eyes.

She quickly walked to Yan Yin's side, bent down and whispered in her ear.

Although she spoke very quietly, Shen Cheng and Ning Qing heard it clearly.

After hearing this, Yan Yin's face instantly turned gloomy.

She did not hide anything from her two new allies, Shen Cheng and Ning Qing, and chose to tell the truth: "Ten minutes ago, the border troops led by King Qin forcibly invaded a town in our country on the pretext that a soldier was missing, and are currently in a standoff with our border troops."

After finishing speaking, Yan Yin stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I wanted to invite you to dinner, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity anymore. I may be busy for a long time. If you don't mind, you can rest in the royal city first. I will arrange for someone to sign the alliance with you."

Then she looked at Xiao Qingque again, speechless for a moment, as if she had not yet decided how to arrange for the returning princess.

Shen Cheng suddenly said, "Let her help you deal with border affairs."

Yan Yin frowned slightly, and then understood what Shen Cheng meant.

If Xiao Qingque can make contributions and stand out in the conflict with the enemy country, it will be easier for the people of Baiye Country to accept her.

Now the entire Baiye Kingdom needs a victory to boost morale and public confidence. Those invading enemy soldiers can just be used as stepping stones for Xiao Qingque.

As for whether this would trigger a war, after knowing that Qin Hao, the Blood King, had also disappeared, Yan Yin knew that Lord Qin's current toughness and confidence was just an act.

Although she agreed with Shen Cheng's proposal in her heart, Yan Yin still looked at Xiao Qingque and asked worriedly, "Is it too dangerous?" Xiao Qingque is now the key to her revival of Baiye Kingdom, and there must be no mistakes.

Shen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as she is not a master, she can handle it, and I will also take care of her in secret."

Yan Yin had no objection: "That's good."

She asked the three of them to rest here for a while, and then went downstairs to make some advance preparations.

The princess's return needs to be communicated with some key people in advance to avoid any unexpected events that would embarrass everyone.

After Yan Yin left, Xiao Qingque immediately jumped up and said to Shen Cheng, "This is not right. You just asked me to pretend to be a princess, but you didn't say I have to go out and fight?"

Shen Cheng raised a finger and said, "I'll give you another ten days of vacation."

"Am I someone who can be dismissed so easily?"

Xiao Qingque said angrily: "I am not bargaining with you now, but I am talking about your breaking of promises."

Shen Cheng raised his second finger: "Twenty days of vacation, if you keep talking nonsense, there will be no more."

"Oh!"

Xiao Qingque sat back in her chair obediently, as quiet as a lady.

Ning Qing said to Shen Cheng, "I didn't expect it to be so easy. I thought it would be difficult to convince the regent."

“It’s not easy.”

Shen Cheng glanced at Xiao Qingque, who was as quiet as Kun.

If it weren't for Xiao Qingque, Yan Yin would not have agreed to the alliance so easily, and even if she agreed, she might not be able to convince the parliament.

But with the arrival of Xiao Qingque, a "real" princess, everything became a natural thing.

What Shen Cheng is worried about now is not that Yan Yin will not recognize Xiao Qingque and the alliance, but that he is worried about making things worse.

After using Xiao Qingque to boost morale and rally the hearts of the people, Baiye Kingdom learned that the Blood Kings of the other two major forces were also in trouble. Will Baiye Kingdom take the opportunity to start a war and take back the previously lost territories?

This possibility is extremely high.

Shen Cheng was worried that he and Ji Chan were trying hard to prevent a civil war, but in the end their actions led to the outbreak of a civil war.

If these two were the trigger, it would be a real joke from hell.

Although in Ji Chan's prophecy, the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor eventually prevented the civil war, the prophecy did not say whether he nipped the civil war in the bud from the very beginning or stopped it after it broke out.

It is even possible that after the three forces have been fighting for more than ten or twenty years and have beaten people's brains out of dogs, he came out to clean up the mess. Everything is possible.

The three of them waited in the reception room for a while before the young female secretary appeared and informed Xiao Qingque that they could set off.

Ning Qing stayed behind as a contact person so that they could be contacted and communicated if anything happened.

As Xiao Qingque's bodyguard, Shen Cheng also went along.

Xiao Qingque was taken by her secretary to change into a military uniform. Next, she would go to the border as a special envoy of the Ministry of National Defense and be fully responsible for handling the conflict with the enemy army.

Xiao Qingque, who was forced to do something, went to the military airport near the royal city with Shen Cheng, and boarded a military plane to rush to the border as quickly as possible.

On the tallest building in the royal city, Yan Yin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the military planes taking off at the airport.

Her face was calm, without any of the excitement she had just had when she recognized Xiao Qingque, nor the worry that her only relative was about to go to the battlefield.

As for her sister Xiao Qingque's child, she was 20% sure and 80% doubtful.

Although Xiao Qingque does look very similar to her sister, in this world, the least important thing is appearance. There are too many abilities that can change one's appearance.

Although her sister was almost forgotten by the entire White Night Kingdom, there were still many people who remembered her, so it was entirely possible to customize a fake princess based on her appearance.

Xiao Qingque said that he left the Eternal Empire as a baby twenty-one years ago, but this was only one side of the story.

Apart from that face that could be forged, Xiao Qingque herself had no conclusive evidence to prove that she was the missing princess.

Yan Yin's excited reaction to recognizing her relatives just now was just an act.

The Baiye Kingdom now really needs something good to boost morale.

So the truth is not important, the key is what purpose can be achieved - even if Xiao Qingque is fake, as long as she is not so easy to be discovered, Yan Yin is willing to admit her identity.

What's more, there is an Astrology Palace following Xiao Qingque.

Faced with such a temptation, even if it was poison, Yan Yin would risk swallowing it.

It was for this reason that Yan Yin did not refuse Xiao Qingque's adventure to the border. She wanted to use this incident to see Xiao Qingque's abilities before deciding how to treat her next.

As for whether the Baiye Kingdom will go to war with the Qin Kingdom after regaining its morale, this is almost certain.

Because the Baiye Kingdom will never give up the territories that were taken away in the past twenty years, and the Qin King will never spit out the fat meat in his mouth.

The conflict between the two sides has long accumulated to a very deep level. If Qin Hao had not been taken into consideration, the two sides would probably have fought twenty years ago.

Now that they know that Qin Hao is also missing, the Baiye Kingdom will never give in, even if it means war.

Before, when Yan Yin said that she believed in the prophet’s divination, it was not just a compliment.

Since the prophet said that civil war will break out, it will definitely break out. Yan Yin is willing to be the one who ignites the war and regains everything lost for the Baiye Kingdom.

Seeing the military plane disappear into the clouds, Yan Yin said to the secretary standing behind her: "Let's get started."

Next, the entire White Night Congress started the national propaganda machine, vigorously promoting her sister's deeds and image, and preparing for the princess's return in advance.

……

The military plane was flying through the clouds. Inside the cabin, the accompanying officer was introducing the situation on the border to Xiao Qingque.

Shen Cheng remained silent. From now on, he would not say a word unless Xiao Qingque was in danger.

It will not be an overnight thing for Xiao Qingque to pretend to be a princess. She will need to stay in Baiye Kingdom for a long time in the future.
