The Empress immediately adopted a cold and stern expression.
They assumed Hongyu was the true daughter of the Grand Tutor, so they turned a blind eye and allowed her to enter the Yan Prince's residence as the adopted daughter of the Duchess. Little did they expect that she turned out to be a charlatan. How could the Yan Prince, of such noble status, have a concubine who is a fraud and of lowly status?

Yan Wang was equally incredulous. He stood up, stood there dumbfounded, and began to doubt that this trap was actually set by Hong Yu.
Grand Tutor Zhang, standing to the side, was surprised and then fearful, thinking that... Lianxiang had come to seek revenge.
