Eunuch Liu was stunned when he saw a baby in her arms. He had just heard the sound of crying babies coming from consort Rong's courtyard. He didn't expect to see the baby's true body as soon as he came in. This went smoothly beyond his expectations. He had originally thought that he would come empty-handed, but he hadn't been able to find out why.

"Esteemed imperial concubine, the emperor heard that there was a baby crying in the empress's room, so he sent a servant to investigate." Eunuch Liu cupped his hands across his chest. Even though he was in the cold palace, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Imperial Concubine Rong. After all, he was the empress dowager's man!

"That eunuch has revealed the truth now, we can go back now." Rongfei stood on the bluestone steps, slapping the Boss' small body, giving the order for Eunuch Liu to leave without a trace of politeness.

"Empress, this baby …" Eunuch Liu looked at the sleeping Boss in her arms with some embarrassment. Because the Boss was in Concubine Rong's arms, he couldn't see what it looked like. He only said in all seriousness, "Empress should understand what His Majesty means. His Majesty wants to know who the person in consort Rong's arms is."

Consort Rong gave a mournful smile and pretended to look extremely bitter. "Does Your Majesty still care about my children? Didn't he listen to Mu Fei's insistence that this child was some kind of imperial physician? "Why did you come here to ask again today?"

Eunuch Liu was astonished as he stared at her in astonishment. "Esteemed wangfei's meaning is …" This child is the Emperor's? However … Didn't the child already die? "How could it be …"

"That's right. This child was almost beaten to death by Mu Fei. Fortunately, the child managed to survive. If Mu Fei wants to kill my child, it won't be that easy! " Consort Rong ground her teeth and snorted coldly!

Eunuch Liu was stunned by this unexpected development and mumbled in a daze, "How can the emperor's bloodline allow you to hide it like this, Empress? The emperor will punish you. But if this child is not the flesh and blood of the emperor, then you, Empress, have stayed. This is a heinous crime, ah, you will be executed for it! "

"Eunuch Liu, do you want to see how the little prince looks like?" Rong Fei suddenly smiled and slowly walked down the stone steps. She stopped in front of Eunuch Liu and turned the face of the Boss from her arms.

When Eunuch Liu saw the face of the Boss, he was even more shocked. That small face that was imprinted on the same mold as the emperor, no matter how one said it, it couldn't be said to be someone else's flesh and blood!

Eunuch Liu was afraid that he had misjudged her, so he rubbed his eyes with all his might. That face that looked extremely similar to the emperor's still remained, and he could not believe his own eyes.

"How is this possible …" Eunuch Liu murmured and shook his head.

"Does Eunuch also think that this child is an imperial physician?" "This child really has a bitter life. He was persecuted by a traitor when he was never born. It wasn't easy for him to be born, but he still has to accompany me in the cold palace to live. It really has been hard on him."

"Empress, if it really is a prince, the Emperor won't sit idly by." Eunuch Liu had finally recovered with great difficulty. He couldn't wait to rush back to the Qing He Palace and report this matter to the emperor.

Consort Rong smiled helplessly, "There's no need for that. I only hope that the young prince can grow up safe and sound and not be persecuted again. His status and position is nothing but a disaster for us mother and son!"

Eunuch Liu chuckled, immediately showing his respect for Rong Fei. He bowed and took his leave. "Esteemed wangfei, don't worry. The emperor will return the imperial concubine's justice. This servant still has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

"If Eunuch doesn't want the little prince to be harmed, then don't tell the emperor about this matter. It won't do to let this secret continue to be kept. At the very least, this place is very safe, isn't it?" Consort Rong's voice was filled with grief.

Eunuch Liu stopped in his tracks and asked with a smile, "Is the Empress still afraid that the emperor will treat the little prince badly?"

Imperial Concubine Rong sighed softly and said sadly, "I know that the Emperor isn't that kind of person, but Eunuch does understand that Consort Mu is still the most favored concubine. Do you think she'll be able to tolerate the little prince?"

"This …" Eunuch Liu stifled his words before chuckling. "Esteemed Empress is overthinking things. Esteemed wangfei is still muddle-headed and wouldn't do anything harmful to the little prince." "Empress, please wait a moment. This servant will take his leave first."

After speaking, Eunuch Liu turned around and left in a hurry. He was told not to tell the emperor about such a big matter? It was simply a joke! The Emperor has always been looking forward to having a woman.

As she watched them leave, the corners of Rong Fei's mouth curled into a cold smile. The coldness entered his eyes, causing even the noble man hiding at the side to feel a chill in his heart when he saw it.

Perhaps it was due to the 'baby's cry' that Liu Gonggong spoke of disturbing his mood, but Long Zhe had been standing uneasily in front of the window sill of Qing He Palace, mumbling to himself as he gazed out at the moonlight.

It was already late in the night and Lin Mofan had already fallen asleep. He shouldn't have stood here waiting for Eunuch Liu to return. This was because the blood poison in his body might erupt today. That was something he could not let others know. However, for some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart. This uneasiness made him insist on standing here and waiting for Eunuch Liu to return.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Eunuch Liu came back, instructing the eunuchs to do their own thing before pushing open the door and entering the room. He bowed behind him and said, "Your majesty the emperor is lucky. Your servant has returned."

"Hmm, have you checked it out?" Long Ze's footsteps turned as he turned around to look at him.

"Your servant has thoroughly investigated." Eunuch Liu's face was grave as he spoke. "Esteemed wangfei still hadn't destroyed her baby and had it live in the cold palace. Now it's almost half a year old."

Long Zhaoting wasn't too surprised. He remembered that Lin Mofan had mentioned the matter of consort to her before and had also ridiculed the fact that he didn't love his child. However, he remembered that Lin Mu Fan had previously said that the child of Consort Rong was already dead. This was slightly different from the current situation, causing him to be extremely puzzled.

And she asked, "Isn't the child of the consort dead? Why is he still here? "

"Your majesty, do you know that consort Rong has given birth?" Eunuch Liu was astonished. Could it be? Does the emperor know? Then why did the emperor allow his own flesh and blood to suffer in the cold palace? This was too incomprehensible!

"Mm, I've heard of it. Rong Fei is quite bold, and she dared to secretly give birth to that evil creature while hiding it from me." He was already magnanimous enough not to have dealt with Consort Rong. If it wasn't for the empress dowager's sake, how could he tolerate such a thing happening? How could she tolerate Consort Rong treating her like this?

"Your majesty, what consort Rong gave birth to isn't a vile seed." Eunuch Liu hastened to say, "This servant has just looked at it. It really does look like the emperor. It's definitely not what he thinks."

"What did you say?" Long Zhaosu raised his eyebrows at him and looked at him in disbelief.

"What this servant said is the truth. If you don't believe the emperor, you can go take a look yourself." Eunuch Liu quickly replied.

"That's impossible, what consort Rong carried back then was not my birth." Long Zhaoshan reiterated his statement. Previously, he had received evidence that they were dirty, so the concubine was actually carrying the fetus of an imperial physician. Everyone knew this.

Eunuch Liu was speechless, but he still didn't give up and advised, "Your majesty, why don't you personally see that child before making a decision?" He couldn't tolerate the Emperor losing his own flesh and blood because of a single mistake!

Long Zhaosu heard his determination and thought to himself that it wouldn't hurt to take a look at him. If he didn't punish the mother and son like Liu Gonggong had said, the imperial scandal would be enough. He couldn't let the world know that he was an emperor, yet he was actually helping a couple of adulterers raise their children.

Thinking of this, he turned around and ordered Liu Gonggong, "Immediately bring Imperial Consort Rong and that child to see me."

"Yes, your majesty!" Eunuch Liu finally felt relieved. He turned around and walked away quickly. As long as the emperor was willing to take a look at that child, he believed that everything would be decided very soon.

A moment later, Eunuch Liu returned to the Palace with his concubine. Long Zhaosu saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar woman walking towards them under the night sky, holding a baby in her arms. She was no more than half a year old.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen her for a long time, but the concubine that he had once doted on didn't leave a single impression in his eyes and didn't feel the least bit familiar to him. This was Concubine Rong! How dare he give him a green hat to wear, Consort Rong!?

A simple dressed consort leisurely walked in and knelt in front of Long Zhaofeng. She gently bowed and said, "Rong'er greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." She could not call herself a concubine because her title had already been removed.

Long Zhaotao looked down at her and ordered indifferently, "Raise your head and look at me."

Rong Fei hesitated for a moment before she gently raised her head. The Emperor, whom he had barely seen for more than a year, was still so valiant, so cold, and so handsome. He had not changed at all!

"I heard that you secretly gave birth in the Cold Palace?" He didn't look at the Boss in her arms. Perhaps it was because from the bottom of his heart, he didn't trust that the child would be his.

Upon hearing his words, Consort Rong immediately lowered her head, kowtowing a few times as she pleaded, "Your Majesty, please spare us! I beg the emperor to forgive Rong'er for his audacity. Rong'er truly can't bear to kill this child. This is the first child of the Emperor and Rong'er, and Rong'er wanted to give birth to him, so … "

"Bring the child to me for a look." Long Zhaosu interrupted her sobbing voice. What he hated most was seeing a woman cry, as if those tears were made out of water.

Pearl stood at the side and watched, weeping bitterly. She could only watch as concubine Rong lied and made up a story. Blood could be seen on the Boss' face. She was reminded time and again that the Boss was in the hands of a Demon and that she couldn't act rashly!

Concubine Rong lifted the Boss out of her embrace, its tender white face facing Dragon Pool. The candle flame was dim and yellow, but the BOSS's small face was still clearly visible. It was indeed his turn. Long Zhaozhu was stunned!

"Rong'er couldn't take care of him properly, and caused the little prince to suffer from severe injuries. I beg your pardon, Your Majesty." Consort Rong lowered her head, speaking with a gentle tone and a face full of shame.

"How is this possible?" Seeing that the Boss had the same reaction as Eunuch Liu, Long Ze's eyes widened in disbelief. That fetus that he had already killed, if it really was his?
