Hearing this, Xia Sizhu's body trembled. The woman in the portrait was the Western Tomb Beitang Imperial Consort. This meant that she was very likely Beitang's older brother's blood sister.
In an instant, Xia Sizhu was filled with confusion. Should she say...
"Qing'er, your answer is very important to me!" The Western Tomb Beitang looked at Xia Sizhu with expectant eyes.
"Whatever Ah Zhu knows, just say it. Don't be afraid that no one will be able to hurt you with me around."
Dongfang Ye saw Xia Sizhu's hesitation and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead.
"The woman in the drawing was the one the empress dowager showed me. The person in Mother's drawing is exactly the same. I'm not sure if it's the same or not."
Xia Sizhu spoke in a very low voice, so that everyone in the study could clearly hear her.
For a moment, the study was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.
"My daughter." At this moment, Emperor Xi Ling had already determined that Xia Sizhu was his daughter.
How could he not be happy with the sudden addition of a daughter? Emperor Xi Ling was so excited that he couldn't even say anything.
"Your majesty shouldn't be blinded by some scammer's carelessness. Little Sister Yu's body has even been salvaged. Where did the child come from?"
She must be lying. Don't think that just by looking like Sister Yu, you can deceive everyone and obtain a wealth that doesn't belong to you. This kind of vain and greedy daughter of the Emperor should be pulled out and cut! "
While everyone was still in shock, a sharp and harsh voice rang out, breaking the tranquility of the study room.
The corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth widened slightly when she heard this. She was eager for vanity and hehe, so she could only smile.
Xi Ling Yan looked at the empress in disbelief, he had never seen his mother like this.
"Imperial Mother, how could you say that? She …" Xi Ling Yan was interrupted before he could finish.
"She what? She looks just like a fox girl." The empress looked at Xia Sizhu with disdain.
"seductress?" Xia Sizhu raised an eyebrow. How was she like a fox?
"Empress!" Emperor Xi Ling looked at the Queen with displeasure as he reprimanded.
The Western Tomb Beitang's eyes were cold, and he really didn't have any good feelings towards the empress.
"Esteemed Empress can't speak carelessly." Dongfang Ye raised his eyes, and his cold gaze made the empress's heart go cold.
"Isn't what I said the truth?" The Queen looked at Xia Sizhu with a sharp gaze, as if she was plotting something against her.
"I don't know if the empress was targeting me because she thought I was scheming or out of guilt. I didn't have to worry about food and clothing in the southern mausoleum, while the empress dowager and the emperor protected me. I came to Xiling to deceive you because I was free!"
Xia Sizhu's cold eyes stared straight at the empress. The empress's heart thumped. A woman like her looked so much like that slut.
"This matter is already so clear, is there anything the empress doesn't understand?"
The emperor looked at the empress in displeasure. The empress had made things difficult for Xia Sizhu, and he was very unhappy like this. He felt a sense of familiarity whenever he saw Xia Sizhu.
It was the same feeling he had had when he saw his cousin. He had already decided that Xia Sizhu was his daughter.
"His Majesty and the others are liars. We can't trust them." The empress looked at the emperor with a wounded expression.
"Whether he is a swindler or not, I know." The emperor said impatiently.
"Since the emperor is unwilling to believe this concubine, this concubine will find evidence for the emperor. The emperor once said that even Sister Yu's child would have a Resurrection Lily on his left breast.
The clothes on the second prince's left chest are there, do you dare to take them off and let me inspect them! "
The empress's eyes flashed dangerously. If there was such a thing, she would eliminate this woman. She wouldn't let her continue living.
"Why should I take it off?" Is there something wrong with this woman? Why should she take it off for an old woman to see, and this old woman's mind is impure.
"You're feeling guilty!" The empress looked at Xia Sizhu proudly. A swindler was one who had never seen the world before.
"Which one of your eyes sees me and feels guilty? Who are you to me? You want me to take it off just like that? Why should I listen to you like a dog? "
Xia Sizhu didn't give the empress any face at all. This woman had probably done quite a few bad things.
"If you don't want others to see, it means that you don't have that birthmark on you. Your imperial concubine is right, she is a swindler, she is a swindler!"
The empress said confidently, as if everything she said was true and she was extremely confident.
"I never said I had a birthmark. You were the one who said it." The way Xia Sizhu looked at the empress was very unfriendly.
"Who would believe you. Take off your clothes. I want to see with my own eyes if you have a birthmark or not."
A crazed look appeared in the empress's eyes. She had to see if she was that slut's child or not.
"Queen, you're done!" Emperor Xi Ling reprimanded, his face was already filled with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't Your Majesty want to know if she was your daughter? This concubine is helping you. "
The empress's lips curved into a mocking smile. He had never forgotten that woman after all these years.
"Even if I want to know, I don't want you to use this method to investigate." He could feel that the way Xia Sizhu looked at them was getting more and more disgusted. This was not the result that he wanted.
"Today, chenqie wants her to take it off for chenqie to see. If the emperor can't stand it, then he'll divorce her."
The empress said without fear. She knew that the emperor wouldn't dare to give her up. If he gave up his throne, he wouldn't be able to sit still.
"Imperial Mother, don't be like this." On one side was his mother, and on the other was the person he secretly liked.
When he found out that Xia Sizhu might be his sister, his heart naturally felt a wave of disappointment, but it also gave him hope.
He had originally planned to keep this love in his heart. If Xia Sizhu could become his little sister, then he would be able to care for her as her big brother. This could be considered as the heavens giving him a chance to approach her!
"You were also enchanted by that seductress. You didn't speak up for mufei, but for that woman instead."
The empress got more and more excited as she spoke. She raised her hand and slapped Xi Ling Yan. A crisp slap sounded in the study.
"Has the Queen Mother lost her anger? Then let's go back! " After being beaten up, Xi Ling Yan's expression could not help but be astonished. He had already known about mufei's unsettled mood from a long time ago.
He had endured for so many years, but he didn't care about being beaten again in the next few years.
"Do you even have any humanity left in you to hit your own child? What kind of mother are you?!"
Xia Si Zhu pulled Xi Ling Yan over. When he saw Xi Ling Yan's red face, his expression became exceptionally cold.
"Xi Ling Yan, are you alright?" Xia Sizhu asked with concern.
Xi Ling Yan just shook his head and remained silent.
"What does it have to do with you that I beat up my own son!" The empress looked at Xia Sizhu as if she were looking at an enemy.
"Since you want to see me so much, I can let you see whether there is a Resurrection Lily on your left breast. If you don't, you must apologize to Xi Ling Yan. I shouldn't have hit you."
Xia Sizhu suddenly felt that Xiling Flames were lamentable, that he had a mother like her.
A person whose eyes were blinded by hatred could do anything.
"Alright." Xia Sizhu's suggestion caused the empress's expression to lighten.
"All of you leave, the empress and I will stay here until we have a good look before coming in." Xia Sizhu glanced at everyone and said.
Dongfang Ye looked worriedly at Xia Sizhu.
"Don't worry, I still have a way to deal with her." Xia Sizhu raised her eyes and smiled as she spoke.
Xia Sizhu knew that other than Dongfang Ye, everyone here wanted to know if there was a birthmark of the Resurrection Lily on her left chest.
Since she couldn't avoid it, she would fight for her own benefits.
Soon, only Xia Sizhu and the Queen were left in the study.
