But she secretly warned herself that now was not the time to drag things out. If she wanted to gain something, she would have to lose something.

She thought clearly in her heart, but the tears still flowed uncontrollably. She decided to go all out and simply give another strong dose of medicine: "Yes, it is the person you think it is, Your Highness."

She smiled bitterly through her tears, "Isn't it funny? To be honest, the reason why I am where I am today is really inseparable from the prince. My elder sister, Li Xiaodie, has admired you for a long time, but the prince has not responded to her for a long time.

So she took out her anger on me.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother asked my father to arrange for her to enter the palace. In order to prevent the prince and me from living together without any obstacles after she entered the palace, she threatened my father to let me disguise myself as her slave and enter the palace with her. My father compromised, and so I became the daughter that he had abandoned at the beginning.

"But, but even if you enter the palace, you don't have to..., my royal brother is not that kind of person..." Gu Jingheng still couldn't understand.

"Yes, Your Majesty is not that kind of person.

But I can’t help but feel that Li Xiaodie is deeply in love with you, Your Highness. She is unwilling to sleep with you and is still keeping her virginity for you. You have no choice but to use my life to force me to be her substitute who can’t be seen in public..."

The news was so shocking that Gu Jingheng seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze...

Li Shushu had originally intended to scare him off, and this outcome was within her expectations. But for some reason, she couldn't control her tears, her shoulders shaking violently...

Having said almost everything she needed to say, she simply turned around and ran away.

Gu Jingheng was left standing there stupidly, with a puzzled look on his face: But, even so, since she was favored, how did she end up suffering in Xinzheku and almost being thrown into the well?

If he thought about it carefully, he could guess roughly.

Perhaps, the emperor doesn't know of her existence now, so can he pretend that nothing happened and continue to ask the emperor to marry her?
