"Empress, are we going to take the Holy Son back to the inn?" Su E asked puzzledly in the carriage.
Wouldn't this be too conspicuous? After all, the posthouse was filled with soldiers from the Laifeng Kingdom.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. What's more, this person is originally from my Zhaoyang Country. So what if he is discovered?" Shangguan Yuechan snorted disdainfully.
Whether he is the Holy Son or not, he is just an insignificant person to Shangguan Yuechan.
The reason she had gone to the trouble of bringing the Holy Son back to Zhaoyang Kingdom was simply to earn a favor from Ran Qiyue. Fortunately, in the future, when the princes fought for the throne, this bastard Ran could be used by her.
"Yes, my lady."
At the hour of Si, Shangguan Yuechan's carriage arrived at the inn where the envoys from Zhaoyang State were staying.
Shangguan Yuechan had sneaked into the envoy's team under the guise of a family member and arrived at the capital of Laifeng State. Therefore, she had relatively free access to the post station.
"Take all the local specialties you bought today and bring them back to Zhaoyang Kingdom in a couple of days for your parents to taste."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the carriage entered the posthouse, Shangguan Yuechan asked the driver to carry the sack containing Yu Xiaotian into the woodshed in her yard.
"Keep an eye on him."
"Yes, my lady."
After instructing Su E to have someone keep an eye on Yu Xiaotian, Shangguan Yuechan returned to her room and closed the door tightly.
Shangguan Yuechan took out two incense burners that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the table. She lit three incense sticks and inserted them into one of the incense burners.
"My son, today is both your birthday and your death anniversary. Go with peace of mind. I will burn the clothes I made for you."
Shangguan Yuechan had a sad look on her face as she burned the baby's swaddling clothes in a basin, but then her expression darkened.
"But, when you wake up in the middle of the night, don't come looking for Mother again! Do you hear me?!"
A hint of sinisterness and cruelty flashed across Shangguan Yuechan's beautiful face.
"You were already dying when you were born. Coincidentally, that bitch Gongsun Muxue and my mother gave birth to a baby boy at the same time in the palace. My mother had no other choice. When she fainted from childbirth, she took the opportunity to have you swapped..."
"At that time, mother was just an insignificant concubine of the King of Jin. She had no choice but to do this in order to consolidate her position with your father. You must believe me. I never thought of abandoning you."
"But, my son, don't worry. Mother has never loved that child. In fact... Mother even had Ran Zamao tell your father that his horoscope is unlucky for him and that he must be sent to Tianlong Temple to become a monk, otherwise he will endanger the fortune of Zhaoyang Kingdom."
Wu Chen, now living in the inn under the name of the Third Prince of Zhaoyang Kingdom, had a sleepless night and was drunk last night. This morning, Wu Chen couldn't sleep and didn't go to the Imperial College. Or perhaps, because today was his birthday, the day he was abandoned by Su Mutianjun and Shangguan Yuechan, he didn't want to get up.
Wu Chen had just heard Shangguan Yuechan coming back from outside. Fearing that this woman might be up to something bad, he went to her rooftop to find out what was going on. He had never imagined that while hiding in the dark, he would hear such shocking news...
Wu Chen tried hard to hold back the bitter tears welling up in his eyes, but his eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, veins bulged on his forehead, and he exuded a cold murderous aura, as well as a raging rage that was about to burst forth...
It turns out that Su Mutianjun and Shangguan Yuechan are not his biological parents at all!
It turned out that he had a loving and generous father, a gentle and virtuous mother, and the best brother in the world. But... all of this was ruined because of Su Mutianjun and this woman!
Although Wu Chen had given up on these two people a long time ago, he suddenly realized that he had been "taking the thief as his father" and "taking the thief as his mother" for so many years, and Wu Chen's heart was immediately filled with tremendous hatred.
At this moment, Wu Chen wished he could cut this woman who deserved death into pieces!
But, he can't!
Because, he still had to be a good third prince of Zhaoyang Kingdom and protect his "good sister" from those demons and monsters who wanted to harm her...
"Prince brother~"
Shangguan Yuechan in the room lit three incense sticks again and inserted them into another empty incense burner.
"How can I not be happy to see such a gentleman? Yuechan has always remembered the stunning glimpse she had of the Crown Prince on the snowy mountain. But, Crown Prince, why do you only have eyes and heart for that vile woman Gongsun Muxue?"
Shangguan Yuechan angrily slammed the incense table, as if the incense burner in front of her was Su Mu Tiansheng.
Shangguan and Gongsun are both from century-old families in Zhaoyang State. Back then, Shangguan Yuechan, the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family, and Gongsun Muxue, the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family, were close friends.
Twenty years ago, on a winter day, Shangguan Yuechan and Gongsun Muxue went to a villa on the outskirts of the city to enjoy the snowy scenery, and they ran into the Crown Prince Su Mutiansheng, who was out of town hunting at the time.
Su Mutiansheng and Gongsun Muxue fall in love at first sight. However, Shangguan Yuechan, who is traveling with them, is also captivated by Su Mutiansheng's celestial beauty.
The following spring, Gongsun Muxue married Su Mutiansheng and became the Crown Princess. Disheartened Shangguan Yuechan, perhaps out of revenge, chose to marry Su Mutianjun, the Prince of Jin, who was a rival to the Crown Prince at the time, as a concubine.
"Brother Crown Prince, if you had chosen Yuechan, perhaps you wouldn't have died. Have you ever regretted it?"
Shangguan Yuechan closed her eyes slightly, blinking away the tears. When she opened them again, they were filled with ruthlessness.
"Gongsun Muxue, you bitch! You stole my prince brother, so I'll take your son away. I'll make sure you die without knowing that your son is still alive!"
