Zhao Yuanqi watched with his own eyes as the noble little emperor's face turned pale in an instant, his pupils dilated, and his body suddenly lost its strength and fell onto the soft pillow behind him.
He felt a little reluctant for a moment, but he quickly suppressed the emotion that shouldn't have existed and continued to cruelly recount the past that had been erased in one sentence:
"Your Majesty's mother was sent by my father. So, Your Majesty has a deep connection with our Zhao family."
"Your mother has been taking medication since she became pregnant with you. Therefore, Your Majesty, you were originally supposed to be stillborn. However, when the birth was approaching, your mother suddenly changed her mind. I guess—"
"I think I feel a little sorry for you, Your Majesty."
"So your mother secretly sought out a miraculous doctor, who found the medicine that could save your Majesty's life."
In fact, Zhao Yuanqi did not confess everything.
Of course, he did not mention how his father fell in love with the young emperor's mother.
There is naturally no need to mention the fact that Tang Yu's mother fell in love with the late emperor.
Zhao Yunqi paused for a moment before continuing:
"However, Your Majesty, half of the medicine to save your life is in the palace, and the other half is in the hands of our Zhao family."
"So, Your Majesty, do you understand? Your Majesty, even if it's just for your mother's sake, you should understand that our Zhao family is your best choice."

"Mother wouldn't do that, she wouldn't..."
However, in Tang Yu's personal space, the cold voice of the branch system suddenly sounded, which coincided with Tang Yu's words of "heartbroken and mumbling to himself".
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the side quest - The Mystery of Life! The reward will be distributed later.]
Hearing this, Tang Yu was so happy that he almost couldn't pretend anymore, but he had to maintain an expression of disbelief on his face -
"This is impossible, this is impossible..."
Zhao Yuanqi sighed and stated the facts helplessly:
"If it is impossible, how can I know these things?"
"Your Majesty, stop deceiving yourself."
Now he was a little more patient with Tang Yu. Perhaps it was because of some inexplicable emotion in his heart that he even spoke in a much gentler manner.
Hearing this, the pale little emperor suddenly raised his head and said word by word firmly:
"Even so, I don't want to."
