The empress didn't expect the Crown Prince to say something like that. She looked at the Crown Prince and was speechless.
She didn't love Emperor Hongjia, and she also knew Emperor Hongjia didn't love her. If not, he wouldn't have trusted what Qilian Yvran said.
Even if nothing had happened between them, he would still believe in Qilian Yvran.
Her heart had already been dead after Xvrao's death.
When she thought of Brian, the empress felt a dull pain in her heart. She didn't know what had happened at that time, but he didn't even give her a chance to explain.
Was he still the same Xvrao who treasured her so much?
Or when he came back, he was determined to be her enemy forever.
"Mother, did I say anything wrong?" The Crown Prince looked at the empress's calm face and said, "I know that there is no love between you and my father."
The empress looked at the Crown Prince and asked helplessly, "Son, may I ask you a question?" Looking into the eyes of the Crown Prince, the empress continued, "is there love between you and your wife?"
The empress's words dumbfounded the Crown Prince, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer it. Judging by the expression on the Crown Prince's face, she knew that the reason behind it had come to light.
She patted the Crown Prince's hand and continued, "Son, there is no so-called love in the harem. It is a combination of interests."
The empress's words made the Crown Prince fall silent. He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "mother, you are right. I'm still too naive."
The empress looked at the Crown Prince with a gentle smile. "Son, Concubine Shu told me that the imperial concubine wanted to do something bad to you, so I told you that."
Seeing the doubt in the Crown Prince's eyes, the empress continued, "but now hearing what you said, I think maybe Concubine Shu wants to stir up trouble between me and the imperial concubine."
"But wh
ow what kind of person my brother is. Why should I need such a coward to help me? "
Looking at the expression on Xuanyuan Yvfan's face, Concubine Shu smiled with pleasure. "Second Prince, don't be deceived by illusions. He's my son. He's not as simple as you think."
Hearing Concubine Shu's words, Xuanyuan Yvfan still didn't believe it. "Mother, I'm sorry. I can't believe what you said."
Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Yvfan and handed him something. "Take this token and ask him if he is telling the truth."
Seeing the token with the word "Meng", Xuanyuan Yvfan didn't know what to do. He really wanted the throne, and if Concubine Shu could help him, it would be better.
"Second Prince, if you really want the throne, fight for it. I will help you." Concubine Shu looked at Xuanyuan Yvfan and said earnestly, "don't think too much about the other things."
Seeing the expression on Concubine Shu's face, Xuanyuan Yvfan was finally relieved. He looked at Concubine Shu and said respectfully, "thank you, mother. If I can get the throne, the first person I will thank will definitely be you."
Concubine Shu looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yvfan's face and smiled. "Second Prince, if you get the throne, I only have one wish, and that is to let me leave this place."
