Consort Li snorted arrogantly, "I'm already fed up with all those etiquettes in the palace. Wouldn't it be exhausting to have to follow them at home too!"

Feng Quji felt rather helpless, picked up the document again and continued reading, "You..."

Consort Li sat down opposite Feng Quji. "Father, is your back pain any better?"

"I feel much better. The medicine you sent is quite effective."

Consort Li's face lit up with joy. "That's wonderful! I'll have someone send over more. Also, you used to love green pear cake, so I made a lot for you myself. You can keep it and enjoy it slowly."

Feng Quji suddenly looked up at her, "What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"

Consort Li's eyes darted away, and she said guiltily, "Father, what are you saying?"

Feng Quji was too lazy to argue with her. "Speak."

Once Feng Quji stared at her, Consort Li knew she couldn't hide it anymore and immediately knelt on the ground, crying, "Father, you have to save me! If you don't save me, I'll be doomed!"

Realizing something was wrong, Feng Quji's expression turned serious. "What's going on?"

Consort Li's eyes reddened. "Are you aware of the matter of the prince being switched at birth?"

Feng Quji's pupils dilated sharply. "You ordered this?!"

Consort Li's gaze darted away. "It should have been foolproof, it shouldn't have turned out like this..."

Feng Quji trembled, "You! How dare you! That's His Majesty's son!"

Consort Li was extremely anxious, "Father..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Quji roared, "You're my father!"

"Do you know that if this is exposed, my whole family could be killed because of you!"

"What sins did I commit to give birth to such a wicked child like you!"

Consort Li cried out, "Father, please save me!"

Feng Quji remained silent for a long time before saying coldly, "I can't save you!"

Consort Li's face turned ashen. "Are you abandoning me?"

Feng Quji said coldly, "I can't control you! That's His Majesty's child. If His Majesty wants to investigate, even if the Heavenly King himself came today, he couldn't save you!"

"That's His Majesty! The Emperor who unified the six kingdoms!"

"Even if you haven't witnessed his methods firsthand, you've at least heard of them, right? How dare you?"

Consort Li cried out, "I know I was wrong, Father! Please save me!"

Feng Quji shook off her hand, "You reap what you sow! Guards! Escort Miss away!"

Facing that emperor, Feng Quji did not feel he had the ability to compete with him.
