"Nanny, I can't control myself." The queen's face was full of sadness.

Ever since Yan Tianhua had died for Yan Aoxuan, she had been unrelenting in her heart. Now that she no longer had her parents, her heart ached for Yan Aoxuan.

"Since the Empress has chosen this path, she should be cold to the end of it all. She shouldn't change her attitude halfway through. How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Empress in this palace? You must not be careless."

The wet nurse was the only one other than the empress to know of Yan Ao Xuan's origins. Back then, she was the one who had brought Yan Ao Xuan from the palace to the General's Estate, taking meticulous care of Yan Ao Xuan.

The eavesdropping Dongfang Li's eyes flashed. What does this have to do with Yan Ao Xuan? He had an uneasy feeling that the next second, the empress's words were like a sharp sword that pierced his heart.

"Nanny, I regret that I shouldn't have given birth to a man when the imperial physician found out that the child was a girl. In order to give birth to a man, when I found out that the child was a boy, I used a method of reincarnation to give birth to the child on the same day as my sister, changing the date between the day and the day.

If I had allowed her to be born just like that and not do these things, perhaps she would still be my daughter right now. I can also give birth to a true prince of the two of us with the Emperor. "

A tear rolled down the empress's cheek. It was a tear of regret. Perhaps she hadn't done that before, but now she should have been surrounded by girls instead of a single son who was only related to her by blood.

Dong Fang Li's already gloomy expression became even darker as she clenched her fists tightly. Her expression turned malevolent; he was actually not the Queen Mother and royal father's child. Instead, he was the child of General Yan and his mother's sister.

He could not accept this. He was the eldest prince of the Southern Tomb, the son of his father, the future emperor. He was not the son of Yan Tianhua, no!

However, his trembling body betrayed the feelings in his heart. At that moment, he actually hated the Queen Mother. Since it was a secret, why didn't he keep it and reveal it?

How great it was to not say anything, he did not know that he was still the son of his royal father, the future emperor.

"Empress, you can't say this. The Crown Prince is the flesh and blood of the Empress, and he will forever be her flesh and blood."

When the wet nurse heard the empress's words, she was filled with shock as she spoke.

"I know, but I'm just feeling annoyed. I just wanted to chat a little bit with Nanny."

Hearing the wet nurse's reminder, the empress quickly returned to her normal self. It was that gentle and dignified empress again.

"Esteemed Empress must remember that there are many ears within the empress, especially for the empress who holds the position of empress. You absolutely must not make any mistakes. Alright, it's getting late, this servant will bring Miss back." The wet nurse's eyes flashed as she spoke.

"You can go back now!" Although the empress couldn't bear to part with it, she had no choice.

When the wet nurse came out, there was no longer any trace of Dong Fang Li outside the door.

"Why did you come back?" Not long after the wet nurse left, the empress heard footsteps behind her. The empress thought that it was the wet nurse, so she couldn't help but ask.

"It's Li'er. Did Li'er see anything just now?" Turning his head to look, he saw that it was Dongfang Li. He could not help but be a little flustered.

"See what? Did the Queen Mother do something unspeakable? "

Dongfang Li's tone was very puzzled, as if she didn't know anything. However, her eyes were frighteningly dark. Dongfang Li just stared straight at the empress, cold and complicated.

"It's nothing, what's wrong with Li'er?" Dong Fang Li's last sentence made the already flustered Queen's heart even more uneasy. She kept having the feeling that Dong Fang Li seemed to know something.

His expression didn't look like he knew, but the look in his eyes frightened her and made her uneasy.

The empress's hands, which were hidden under her sleeves, were tightly clenched. She looked nervous, and cold sweat was dripping from her forehead.

"Your son has come to bid farewell to mother. Your son is preparing to go back." Dongfang Li suddenly smiled indifferently. Her expression was the same as usual.

The Queen looked at Dongfang Li and suddenly felt that it was just an illusion.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Dongfang Li left the Empress's chamber. The moment she left the chamber, her originally calm gaze turned cold once more.

After taking one last look at the empress's chambers, Dong Fang Li left with an ice-cold expression.

It was night. Dong Fang Li was in her study, lost in thought as she watched the dark sky outside.

At this moment, he could feel an enormous pressure. His royal father had doted on Xia Sizhu too much, and now, she didn't love him either. Tomorrow, she would become his fourth brother's wangfei.

Love the house and love the Wu Clan. Royal father would definitely have more relations with Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother was originally his greatest opponent, but now he had Xia Sizhu.

He might be able to replace him and become the crown prince soon, and he might even become a prisoner on the day he becomes the emperor. This result was something he would definitely not accept.

Once the royal father finds out about his background, no matter how good his performance is, he will still fall from his current position.

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Since royal father refused to give him the throne, then don't blame him for stopping.

After he became the emperor and killed Dongfang Ye, Xia Sizhu would know who it was that had the ability to protect her.

Who loved her the most? She would definitely come back to him at that time.

With this thought, a thought had already formed in Dong Fang Li's heart.

"Shang Wen." Dong Fang Li's voice sounded.

"Mistress." Shang Wen came out from the shadows and respectfully shouted at the hostile master.

"Find out how this came out." With a cold expression, Dongfang Li retrieved the command token from Xia Sizhu and handed it to Shang Wen.

"Yes, Mistress." When Shang Wen saw the token, he was stunned for a moment before replying.

After Shang Wen left, the entire study room became abnormally quiet. The ambition in Dong Fang Li's heart gradually grew larger in the darkness, swallowing up his heart.

The next day, before dawn, Xia Sizhu was pulled out of bed by the empress dowager's men and began to dress up.

The unconscious Xia Sizhu endured the displeasure in her heart. She allowed herself to be manipulated as she wished. Today, her bride's temper wasn't good at all.

"Wangfei is really beautiful. Wangfei is the most beautiful girl this old servant has ever seen." When everything was ready, the old nuns couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the woman in the bronze mirror.

Xia Si Zhu raised his drowsy eyes and looked at the woman in the bronze mirror.

The woman's skin was as beautiful and smooth as a pearl, her eyebrows were as beautiful as a jade, her eyelashes were long, her clear pupils were as clear as water, and she had a small nose and rosy lips.

Her every frown and smile was cold and indifferent, and her eyes were like the rippling waves of water. The slightly raised corner of her mouth gave her a fairy-like temperament, and her beauty was captivating.
