“His Highness is so pitiful. It’s fine if he acknowledges a thief as his mother, but at least he can be considered a legitimate son under the empress’s name. He’ll have a chance to sit in that position in the future. However, now that the empress has given birth to her son, won’t he have no chance at all?”

“Shh! Lower your voice. Do you want to die?”

“I know. I’m just telling you.”

He heard the palace servants discussing him, but he did not know what it meant to acknowledge a thief as his mother.

However, he felt that it was not a good thing. He went to ask the Grand Tutor, who said that this was not something he wanted to learn now.

Later on, he knew what it meant at the wrong age.

Because there was another person by his side, that person told him, “The Empress wasn’t able to get pregnant a few years ago, but she didn’t dare to set her sights on n.o.ble Consort Liu, so she targeted your biological mother’s stomach.”

He said, “Your biological mother was killed by the empress.”

Little Shangguan Yu’s face turned red. He clenched his fists and roared at that person, “You’re lying. She clearly treats me as well as Fifth Brother!” Apart from not giving him the position of crown prince.

But the man added, “Because she feels guilty. She’s atoning for her sins.”

“Nonsense. Mother isn’t that kind of person.”

That person sneered. “There’s a palace maid called Hong Xing in the laundry bureau who used to work for your biological mother. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can ask her yourself.”

That was the first time he had tortured a servant. It was also then that he found out.

When his biological mother was about to give birth, the empress got someone to feed her a bowl of soup to speed up the delivery, causing her to bleed to death.

He acknowledged a thief as his mother!

“I didn’t.”

Shangguan Yu suddenly sat up and realized that his entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

“Your Highness?” Lianshan’s voice came from outside the door.

It took Shangguan Yu a long time to suppress the lingering palpitations in his dream. He said with a dark expression, “Go and rest. I’m fine.”

‘Yes.”

Fifteen minutes later, Shangguan Yu, who was dressed in black, left his residence without alerting anyone.

He nimbly jumped onto the cold roof and used his qinggong to head straight for the palace.

Soon, he landed on the roof of a desolate hall in the 500 meters of Weiyang Palace.

Looking around, he noticed a faint fire somewhere.

Shangguan Yu frowned and quietly approached.

It was the empress and Su Yun!

Shangguan Yu’s pupils constricted when he saw what they were burning.

“Yu’er has grown up. Her eyes are very similar to yours. Unfortunately, you’ll never see them again.”

“Miss.”

“Do you think she’ll blame me?”

“Miss, don’t think too much. If you raise His Highness, Concubine Li will definitely be grateful to you.”

“Is that so?” Song Li did not comment. She threw the remaining paper money in her hand into the brazier, stood up, and instructed, “Pack up. Don’t let anyone see it.”

“Yes.”

The darkness enveloped Shangguan Yu’s figure. He tried his best to suppress his trembling and stared fixedly at the master and servant who left.

Apart from his childhood, he had also found a lot of evidence over the years. However, no amount of evidence could make him as angry as what he heard today.

Shangguan Yu clenched his fists and jumped onto the roof angrily, preparing to leave.

At this moment, a soft sedan stopped at the entrance of Weiyang Palace. The eunuch handed the token given by the emperor to the guards.

The guard did not dare to ask further and opened the door.

Shangguan Yu turned to leave, but Song Li’s words from the day sounded in his mind.

“It’s good that you like it. I’ll make it for you next year.”

Shangguan Yu paused. Seeing that the group of people was getting closer and closer to the main hall where Song Li lived, his fingers moved subconsciously.

A man in black suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist.

“Young Master, the general wants you to go back.”

Shangguan Yu’s eyes turned cold. He clenched his fists and did not attack in the end.

“His Majesty is calling for me at this hour?”

Song Li looked suspiciously at the group of eunuchs in front of her.

“Yes, His Majesty even specially asked me to prepare a soft sedan chair. It’s already waiting outside the hall,” the eunuch in the lead said respectfully.

Song Li sneered. “Who am I? What kind of place is this?”

“You… This…

“You don’t know? Then let me tell you.” Song Li leaned back lazily and mocked, “I’m a deposed empress. This is the Cold Palace. If His Majesty wants someone to serve him, isn’t this the wrong place?”

The head eunuch wiped his sweat and smiled awkwardly. “Look at what you’re saying, Your Majesty. The truth of what happened back then was revealed. Lord An Le didn’t plot a rebellion, so Your Majesty is naturally innocent. His Majesty actually asked us to come here to bring Your Majesty out of the Cold

Palace. ”

Song Li’s eyes flashed. “What evidence do you have to prove that you were sent by Your Majesty and not here to harm me?”

The head eunuch took out a token from his pocket. Song Li could tell at a glance that it was indeed the emperor’s personal item.

However.

“If you’re worried, Your Majesty, you can get the imperial guards at the door to escort you. His Majesty is in a hurry to see you. You can’t cause a delay,” the eunuch said.

Song Li frowned. If the emperor really wanted to see her, not going would be equivalent to defying his decree. Then everything Brother Chen had done would be in vain.

“Alright, I’ll go.” Song Li stood up.

Su Yun opened her mouth to say something.

Song Li shook her head. “It’s so late. You don’t have to go. I’ll get someone to pick you up.”

Even if Su Yun went, she wouldn’t be able to enter the Yangxin Hall. It was such a cold day. Why should she suffer for nothing?

“I’d better go with Miss. Otherwise, I’ll be worried.’

“I’ll have the Imperial Guards escort me. Stay here. That’s an order.”

“Miss!”

Song Li waved her hand, unwilling to say anything else, and left.

By the time Su Yun chased after her, she was already in the soft sedan chair.

She wanted to chase after her, but she was told that the empress had instructed her not to go out.

The soft sedan swayed and stopped in front of Yangxin Hall.

The eunuch in the lead went forward to help her, but Song Li shook him off.

“I’ll walk.”

The head eunuch retracted his hand awkwardly and gave the people carrying the palanquin a look. He turned around and knocked on the hall door.

“Your Majesty, Her Majesty is here.”

Not long after, the emperor’s voice sounded from inside. “Let her in.”

Not long after, the emperor’s voice sounded from inside. “Let her in.”

“Yes.”

The head eunuch pushed open the hall door and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, please.”

Song Li frowned and carefully walked in. She looked around, but there was no sign of the emperor in the outer hall.

At this moment, the hall door closed behind her.

Her heart skipped a beat. She was about to leave when the emperor’s voice came from the sleeping chamber.

“Come in.”

Song Li could only suppress the disgust in her heart and walk in unhurriedly.

When she saw the person inside, her pupils constricted and her hair stood on end. She was stunned on the spot.

The emperor pulled out a long sword from a concubine covered in blood. He smiled sinisterly and stabbed at her with bloodshot eyes.

“Go to h.e.l.l.”

Song Li was so shocked by this shout that she came back to her senses. She quickly wanted to avoid it, but she lost all her strength.

She fell to the ground softly and could only watch as the crazy emperor approached.

At the same time, the cold blade quickly came closer..
