"The princess is right." The young man nodded, "This is the portrait of our Concubine of Chu, Ximuguo."
"More than ten years ago, a prince committed a crime. In order for the emperor to let him go, he took away the little princess."
"Later, the princes died and the little princess disappeared. The place where the little princess disappeared was in Beimu Country."
"Concubine Chu is very kind to me. In the few years since I retired from office early, I have been traveling around the country, hoping that one day I can bring the princess back."
The door outside the yard was pushed gently.
Feng Jiu'er came in and heard the man's words clearly outside the door.
"Can I have a look at the portrait?" Feng Jiuer went straight to Little Cherry.
When Little Cherry saw her coming back, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so surprised and nervous just now that she could hardly stand still.
"Please take a look!" The young man held out the portrait with both hands.
Feng Jiuer took the portrait and looked at it carefully.
Little Cherry stared at the portrait carefully, her intertwined fingers clenching tighter and tighter.
After a while, Feng Jiuer handed the portrait out.
"Your Concubine Chu and Xiaoxiao look somewhat similar, but there are many people who look alike in the world, right?"
The young man took the portrait and said: "Concubine Chu said that there is a red heart-shaped birthmark on the little princess's chest..."
When Little Cherry heard this, she unconsciously scratched her collar.
"I... don't." She said slowly.
Feng Jiuer coughed slightly and waved her hands: "Since it's not the case, please leave and stop disturbing our lives."
The young man noticed Xiaotao's discomfort and wanted to say something else.
But the old man stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Master..." The young man frowned.
The old man looked at Feng Jiu'er and Xiao Yingtao and raised his lips slightly: "You two girls, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"Now that the Phoenix clan is in chaos, it's not unavoidable. It would be better for you not to wander around."
"My surname is Wei. I usually stay at Fenglan Inn. We are acquainted by fate. If you need any help, you can come and see me."
"Let's go." The old man looked back at the young man.
The young man nodded lightly, reluctantly looked away from Little Cherry, and followed the old man's footsteps.
When they left, they thoughtfully closed the door for those inside.
"Jiu'er." Hearing the sound of the door closing, Little Cherry finally lost her balance and held Feng Jiu'er's arm.
Feng Jiuer led her into the house.
In the inner room, Little Cherry opened her collar, stuck her head out, and looked at the calm water in the basin.
Little Cherry touched the red heart-shaped birthmark on her heart and asked in a low voice: "Jiu'er, do you think it's a coincidence?"
"They said that Concubine Chu's little princess also had...this?"
"Jiu'er, is this heart-shaped?" Little Cherry looked back at the person behind her, "Please help me see if it is right?"
Feng Jiuer pursed her lips, stretched out her hands, and held Little Cherry in her arms.
"Don't be afraid! I will definitely help you find out."
Little Cherry took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and nodded: "Yes."
Feng Jiuer waited until her mood stabilized a bit before letting her go.
"Don't think too much." She smiled and rubbed Little Cherry's head.
Little Cherry raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
"I'm not afraid as long as you are here! However, Concubine Chu and I look so similar, it might be true."
"She sounds very gentle and kind. If she is really my mother, that would be great!"
