A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 875: Tangtang, I’m Sorry

The King of Western Xia got the painting and examined it carefully, his eyes wide open.

"This is..."

"Isn’t this the Wolf Fang Ornament of the Western Xia Kingdom? Dare I ask the Emperor of Great Chu, where did you obtain this painting?"

Zhao Junyao’s eyes sparkled slightly.

"Are you sure?"

The King of Western Xia’s gaze was firm, and he answered decisively.

"I am certain!"

Zhao Junyao stared at him for a moment, knowing he wasn’t lying, then said,

"This pattern is on Ye Tang’s body!"

Though Ye Tang’s martial arts weren’t as strong as Xia Tingfeng’s, her archery skills were exceptional.

Sometimes, when Chenchen’s martial arts master was absent, Ye Tang would substitute.

So it wasn’t surprising that Chenchen was able to see it, and thus this painting was created.

"Ye Tang?"

The King of Western Xia was thunderstruck.

He couldn’t quite believe it, but he took a closer look at the painting in his hand.

Then he meticulously recalled Ye Tang’s appearance.

Inside, a whirlwind of emotions suddenly surged.

His breathing gradually accelerated, the veins on his forehead abruptly protruded, and his hands holding the painting began to tremble violently.

In great joy and sorrow, his heart panicked and he was at a loss.

"Is it true? Is it true?"

"Could she... could she be my daughter?"

Zhao Junyao quickly comforted him.

"Don’t be anxious!"

"How can you be certain that she is your daughter?"

If she isn’t, wouldn’t that be awkward?!

The King of Western Xia was instantly bewildered.

"I..."

Tangled, anxious, a heart as if clawed by cats.

After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind.

"No matter what, whether she is or not, I must find her and clarify things!"

"Emperor of Great Chu, please do facilitate!"

Zhao Junyao, seeing his determination, could only nod and then instructed someone,

"Send him over then!"

The King of Western Xia was immensely grateful upon leaving.

...

Inside the Ministry of Justice’s Prison.

Ye Tang was sleeping when suddenly a sound of chains woke her up.

"Who is it?!"

She got up and ran to the door.

Just in time to see the King of Western Xia with several people approaching the cell.

She was a bit puzzled.

She muttered in her heart.

"Must be mistaken, am I dreaming!"

Who would come, the King of Western Xia would certainly not.

Couldn’t possibly abduct a king right?! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But upon closer inspection.

Seems real, and they’re getting closer to her.

Soon, the jailer opened the cell door, and the King of Western Xia entered.

Seeing the living person in front of her, Ye Tang finally reacted and quickly stepped forward to salute.

The King of Western Xia quickly stopped her.

"General Ye, no need for formalities!"

Having said that, he sat down on a stool brought by the jailer.

Ye Tang thanked him, rose, and stood aside.

The jailer left.

Only the King of Western Xia and Ye Tang remained in the room.

...

The King of Western Xia didn’t speak either.

Just kept staring at Ye Tang, scrutinizing her.

Ye Tang felt quite awkward.

She muttered in her heart:

Hurry up and speak if there’s something, staring at me for what?

Could it be he’s interested in me?

No, no, looking at his age, he could be my dad.

She’s not interested in old men!

Oh dear, someone save her!

Just when she was lost in wild thoughts, the King of Western Xia finally spoke up.

"You... are called Ye Tang?"

Ye Tang nodded, thinking, isn’t this obvious?

Why is he deliberately asking?

The King of Western Xia ignored her expression and continued to ask.

"Who gave you this name?"

"My father!" Ye Tang was even more puzzled.

"Who is your father??!"

Ye Tang: "..."

My father is obviously my father!

She felt a bit discontent in her heart.

What is this, why come and inquire about household registration?!

She thought about it, displaying an awkward expression.

"Well... King of Western Xia, suddenly coming over and asking so many personal questions may be inappropriate!"

"Let me tell you straight, that bowl of poison truly has nothing to do with me!"

She truly had no motivation to harm anyone!

The King of Western Xia was briefly stunned upon hearing this, then he laughed.

"Miss Ye, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean that."

"I just want to know, how did this pattern end up on your shoulder!"

As he spoke, he took out that painting.

"The Wolf Fang Ornament?" Ye Tang glanced at it, still somewhat unsure.

However, she finally understood some reasons.

"Certainly you came from the Emperor then!"

"Surely you also suspect that my background is related to the Western Xia Kingdom, but"

"I am truly not a person of Western Xia; I am a native of the Great Chu Dynasty!"

"That pattern was imprinted by my father on me to prevent me from getting lost..."

Ye Tang stopped here suddenly.

The King of Western Xia suddenly took out a Wolf Fang Pendant from his breast.

He looked at her with tears in his eyes and slowly placed that Wolf Fang Pendant onto the painting.

The two shapes were completely identical.

Even the pattern gaps on the shapes were exactly the same.

Ye Tang remained silent.

If the Wolf Fang was a coincidence.

Then what about this identical Wolf Fang Pendant?!

The only explanation is that what he said, what the Emperor said, is true!

Her background is truly connected to the Western Xia Kingdom!

"Is your father called... Ye Xiao?"

The last two words were spoken very softly by the King of Western Xia, with a trace of tension and uncertainty.

But to Ye Tang, these two words were like thunder.

Circling her mind over and over, never leaving.

Stunned, shocked, disbelief

She was frozen in place, her phoenix eyes wide open.

"How... how do you know?!"

The King of Western Xia burst into tears instantly.

"Tang... your surname is Ye, given name Tang? Ye Tang!"

"I should have realized it earlier, Tangtang, I should have realized it earlier!"

"Tangtang, father is sorry to you, father arrived late!"

The King of Western Xia, a man in his forties.

At this moment, he wept profusely, cried like a child.

Ye Tang was entirely petrified, it took a while for her to react.

So she just slapped her cheeks hard.

"Oh, it hurts!"

"Not dreaming!"

The King of Western Xia became nervous and stepped forward.

"Tangtang, what’s wrong? Don’t scare your father!"

Ye Tang: "..."

"Well..."

"King of Western Xia, do you... have some difficulty?!"

"No problem, say it directly, if I can help, I will definitely help!"

"But regarding recognizing father, it cannot be done casually! My father..."

"Your father was my personal bodyguard!" The King of Western Xia interrupted her.

He stepped forward, speaking slowly word by word.

"Back then, during the coup in the Royal Palace of Western Xia!"

"In critical moments, I had people secretly send you and your brother away, the farther the better!"

"Later, the coup was suppressed!"

"Your brother Hai Yue was found, but you..."

"Tangtang, I never thought he would bring you here!"

"I didn’t think..."

Before the King of Western Xia could finish, he stepped forward and embraced Ye Tang.

Held tightly, desperately held, as if afraid she would disappear again!

Ye Tang: "..."

Her body was painfully constrained!

Her heart was also in turmoil, no longer as firm as before.

If what the King of Western Xia said is true, then she is... the Princess of Western Xia?

Crown Prince Hai Yue is her brother.

Then she should be called... Hai Tang?

But...

Is this really true?

The father who always loved her since childhood is fake?

Is this person in front of her the true father?!!!
