ntain. There were at least hundreds of steps from the top of the mountain to the middle, and with every step Chu Tianqi took, his heart ached like it would bleed. Just walking up was tiring enough for...Xiao Yu sang calmly and with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, I presume you have already found out that the person who secretly approached Lan Aunt that day to expose my and my sister's identities was me. According to your words just now, I deliberately exposed my adopted daughter's identity. Logically speaking, when I found Lan Aunt and learned the truth, I should have silenced her, and no one in the world would know the truth anymore. Then, I would forever be the legitimate daughter of the Xiangfu. But I did the opposite. You must not suspect the intentions of this humble servant"

Throughout history, emperors have often been suspicious. The current emperor is no exception. Because of this, true and false become blurred, making him even more confused.

The Emperor stared intently at Xiao Yuge, as if trying to find a clue on her face, but ultimately was disappointed: "Yuge, I truly don't understand your intentions, but you are indeed the adopted daughter of the Xiangfu. According to Kong Jian Master, you are the true woman of good fortune, however, whether true or false, your marriage with Prince Xiaoyao will be temporarily postponed. I must investigate the truth and absolutely will not allow a woman with an unknown background to become Princess Xiaoyao!"

“Your Majesty, now that we’ve come to this, I believe you’ve already found out. My husband and I have already been married, with official documents as proof. Even if this marriage is postponed, it doesn’t change the fact that I am his wife.” Xiao Yuge had anticipated his response. As expected, her marriage to Qian Tingxuan was destined to fail. She wondered what he would do when he found out.

“Ge’er, even if you are already married to the Prince of Xiaoyao, if I find out that you are the true Qiyun girl, then I will also grant you and him a divorce. The Qiyun girl can only marry me, the future emperor of Lan Zhao Kingdom!” The Emperor’s attitude began to harden. His principle was to rather kill by mistake than let go, anyway, between Xiao Yuge and Xiao Yufu, one of them must be the Qiyun girl, so why not let both princes marry them.

"Your Majesty, this is unreasonable..." Xiao Yuge's heart burned with anger. If she wasn't looking at him as the Emperor, she would have punched him. This was too domineering, it was clearly a blatant grab!

"Outrageous!" An Gonggong, standing beside the Emperor, was so flustered he practically spat out his words. How dare this girl be so disrespectful to the Emperor Didn't she want to live anymore

Unexpectedly, the emperor stopped him, fixing his gaze on Xiao Yuge's stubborn little face: "Yuge, you are a smart child. You shouldn't want your family to end up being punished for deceiving the emperor, right If I find out that you are the true person of great fortune, while Xiao Zhan previously reported to me that Xiao Yufu was the one with great fortune, this would be the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it would result in the extermination of your entire clan!"

“Your Majesty, are you threatening me” Xiao Yuge narrowed her beautiful eyes, but inwardly she cursed him a thousand times: This royal family, every single one of them was a disgrace! The son was a lunatic, and the father was also a lunatic. It seemed that this kind of inheritance was indeed in their bloodline.

The emperor didn't hide it at all, raised an eyebrow, and stroked his chin, looking like a cunning man had achieved victory: "Ge'er, I'm reminding you, I hope you don't do something foolish."

I thought that after listening to Xiao Yu Ge, she would acquiesce to my orders, but I never expected that she would sneer and curl her lips with a sneer: “Your Majesty, if you want to use the Xiangfu to threaten me, you are very wrong. I risked my life to save Chu Tianqi, and I gouged out my heart and blood to save Xiangye’s wife. Their upbringing grace, I have long repaid, now, I have nothing to do with them, what you do to them is their business, it has nothing to do with me, I am alone, without a father or mother, like a weed, I don't know where I came from, nor do I fear where I go.”

The emperor, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows in thought. After a moment's deliberation, he added, "Don't you care about the fifteenth prince at all"

“Your Majesty’s younger brother, could it be that Your Majesty intends to use him to keep me in check” Although she said it nonchalantly, her heart had already secretly vowed that if this angered Prince Qian Ting Xuan, then don't blame her.

The emperor's face was unreadable, leaving everyone wondering what he was thinking. "Ge'er, you see, what are you saying I am the emperor, and of course I will protect all the people of Lan Zhao Country as you said, Lao Shi Wu is my own brother, and I would never do anything to him. But I want you to think clearly, this chosen daughter of destiny concerns the very fate of Lan Zhao. As you know, Lao Shi Wu only has two years left to live. With his frail body, can he bear your destiny"

His meaning was crystal clear. As long as Xiao Yuge didn't marry Qian Tingxuan now, after two years, Qian Tingxuan would lose his appeal. Then, Xiao Yuge could marry Qian Sichin.

"Your Majesty, the commoner and the prince are deeply in love. We have both the name and the reality of a husband and wife. Your Majesty, is this your intention to separate us" Xiao Yuge wanted to see if, since she was no longer a virgin, the Emperor would still force her to marry the prince.

"My dear, even if you were to bear the child of the seventeenth prince and marry into the Crown Prince's mansion as a woman of great fortune, it would still be acceptable!"

Xiao Yu's song froze, not expecting the dignified emperor of a country to say such words. To seize another man's wife Even accepting the other person's child along with her It seemed that the identity of this "blessed woman" was truly something they coveted above all else.

"Your Majesty, if this servant girl insists on marrying the prince, then she would rather die than be with anyone else in her life" Xiao Yuge wanted to know just how far these people in the royal family were willing to go. For the sake of their own goals, they probably wouldn't hesitate to do anything.

Gonggong An, standing nearby, secretly cast countless glances towards Xiao Yuge as if trying to communicate something. However, Xiao Yuge persistently pushed the boundaries of the Emperor's patience. Gonggong An wiped his sweat nervously. Was this newborn calf really not afraid of the tiger

I thought the Emperor would be furious, but he remained calm as ever: "My dear Ge'er, you are a smart child, but you mustn't do foolish things. Even if you don't think of the Fifteenth Prince, shouldn't you care about Ruyi Pavilion and that little maid Qingluo"

Now she has touched Xiao Yuge's bottom line. Her eyes sank slightly: "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler, and the commoner has always respected you. What you just said, the commoner only regards it as you joking with the commoner. Ruyi Pavilion, Qing Luo is the commoner's bottom line. If you touch them, the commoner can disown her family!"

"Brother Emperor, if you touch her, I will disown my own family!"

The Emperor was taken aback. He hadn't expected the two to sound exactly alike, even their eyes were identical. He didn't even doubt their words, as if he knew they would do whatever they said.

“Alright, Ge'er, I was just joking with you a moment ago. However, I hope you think carefully after returning, and don't make any decisions that you'll regret later. Besides, the prince's injuries are quite serious. The imperial physician has examined him, but there is no sign of improvement. Therefore, for these days, you will personally take care of the prince until he recovers completely.”rson.As the music ended, those people seemed to be still immersed in his dreamlike melody, unable to extricate themselves. He slowly looked around, seeing the trance-like and intoxicated expressions o...
