The empress dowager shot a glare at the emperor. Thankfully, he had taken Xia Sizhu away by night. Otherwise, if she didn't return by then, her head would have fallen to the ground.
"What can Xia Sizhu and Aunt Yu have to do with each other …?" The emperor said indifferently when he heard the empress dowager's words.
"Mufei, what you're talking about can't be …" But that's not right! Xia Sizhu has no relationship with Aunt Yu! " The emperor suddenly thought of a possibility. It was possible that Xia Sizhu and Aunt Yu were close relatives, otherwise mufei wouldn't say that, but Xia Sizhu and Aunt Yu were completely unrelated!
"Humph!" Why is it okay? Little Mu's mother was brought back by This Dowager. This Dowager can say whatever she wants. " The empress dowager looked at the emperor in displeasure. Why did she give birth to her son on such a sunny day?
"What is the relationship between mufei Xia Sizhu and Aunt Yu? Mufei, quickly say it! Don't joke with me. " The emperor's expression, which remained unchanged, was one of anxiety and anticipation.
If Xia Sizhu really was related to Aunt Yu, then he really should give her a slap.
She was a little younger than you. At that time, your Aunt Yu even told This Dowager that if both of you were to marry each other when she grew up, who knew that something like that would happen? A flash of sadness passed through Her Majesty's eyes as she spoke. She paused before continuing.
After your Aunt Yu left, This Dowager came to fetch her. However, when This Dowager arrived at her place, she found out that she had already been taken away by someone. This Dowager was unable to find her, and since your royal father was in a rush to leave, This Dowager had no choice but to leave. At this point, the empress dowager's face was filled with helplessness.
"Later on, This Dowager sent people to keep track of her whereabouts, but there was no news of her at all. I was about to give up, but who would have thought that I would meet her on my trip?" Her Majesty's eyes were filled with light, and her entire body was trembling with excitement.
When I met her, she was severely injured and covered with knife wounds. She fell from the top of the cliff, but fortunately, she was blocked by a tree branch when she landed and was able to keep her life.
The emperor listened with rapt attention, his eyes flashing with expectation.
She did not look like her mother, but I saw the jade pendant she was wearing. It was your Aunt Yu's heirloom, and I immediately sent someone to save her.
"Your Aunt Yu had a birthmark on her left chest, and on her left chest, there was the mark of the Resurrection Lily. Your Aunt Yu said that this was inherited by the family, and that every person in her family had this birthmark on their left chest when they were born. Her Majesty's eyes twinkled with tears.
The emperor's face was also filled with shock. At this point, Xia Sizhu's identity was very obvious. When the emperor saw that the empress dowager still had more to say, he wasn't in a hurry to speak and wanted to wait for her to finish.
"Your Aunt Yu once told This Dowager that her family and husband are both dead and that only she and her daughter are still alive. After that, This Dowager was able to save her. At the beginning, she did not acknowledge that she was your Aunt Yu's daughter, and thus admitted it after being questioned by This Dowager.
However, she didn't mention what she had experienced all these years. She also told This Dowager to not let a third person know of her identity, that This Dowager knew who she was hiding from, and so This Dowager promised her and told her to save This Dowager. She brought her back and asked This Dowager to seal a princess for her.
After a while, I found out that she was pregnant, and asked her how she was going to deal with the child. She said that she wanted to have a legal identity with the child, and the prime minister asked her to marry him, so I gave her a marriage.
After that, she never allowed the Prime Minister to get close to her. A month later, news of her pregnancy spread, and This Dowager knew that it was decided. Later on, This Dowager brought her to the palace and allowed her to safely give birth to the little girl Zhu Zhu without anyone suspecting. "
At this point, everything was made clear, the empress dowager said to the agitated emperor.
"Now do you know why This Dowager is so pampered!?" Little Zhu, you are the granddaughter of your Aunt Yu. You said that you nearly killed the only descendant of your Aunt Yu. Fortunately, nothing had happened to him. Otherwise, she would definitely not recognize him.
"I didn't know she was Aunt Yu's granddaughter, but you didn't tell me mufei. If I did, how could I have done anything to her!" For a moment, guilt, guilt, and a surge of emotions surged through the Emperor's heart. He was so nervous that he didn't even know where he should place his hands.
Damn it. He had almost executed Aunt Yu's only granddaughter. He had always been ashamed of himself. If he were to execute Aunt Yu's granddaughter now, he would truly be guilty of heinous crimes.
He didn't think that Aunt Yu would have a granddaughter. In front of his very eyes, the Emperor couldn't wait to place all the good things into Xia Sizhu's hands.
"It's not too late now. In the future!" Be nicer to little girl Zhu. " This matter had been buried deep in her heart for a long time. It was much more comfortable to say it out loud.
"Where are you going?" "Come back!" Just as the emperor was about to open the door and leave, he was discovered by the empress dowager, who snapped at him.
"I would like to see Xia Sizhu." The emperor said in embarrassment. He didn't know what made mufei unhappy.
"You have to see that little girl Zhu. I still have something to talk to you about in this short period of time." Her Majesty glanced at the bench to one side and motioned for the Emperor to sit down.
"Mufei, what else do you want?" the Emperor asked as he sat down.
Clearly, she has an enemy. Send someone to protect the little girl, and don't let the little girl know about what I told you today. Let her happily live on as the third young mistress of the Xia family, and don't let the Prime Minister notice that something is wrong with Xia Sizhu.
Also, regarding the matter of the little girl Zhu breaking off the engagement, the little girl Zhu probably hurt the crown prince's face by doing this. Didn't the crown prince like the little girl Zhu's big sister? "You should just give her to the crown prince to be his consort. That way, the crown prince might not hate the little girl." The empress dowager's expression didn't change as she spoke.
"Mufei, your son understands. Your son will shout out to settle this matter now." Since Xia Sizhu didn't want to marry the eldest, she wouldn't. He would find her something even better.
"This Dowager will leave first. Take care of this matter for This Dowager." Seeing that the emperor had regained his former dignity, the empress dowager finally felt at ease.
"Yes, mufei, take care." When the emperor sent the empress dowager away, his eyes suddenly turned solemn.
"Someone, go call for the crown prince." After sending the empress dowager off, the emperor instructed the people around him.
"Royal father, what do you need this son for?" Dongfang Li hurried into the palace.
"Boss!" You've seen Xia Sizhu's stubbornness before. It's because I couldn't do anything about her that I had to pity her after hitting your grandmother. I thought for a moment and then decided to let this marriage go! " The emperor said with a troubled expression.
