Seemingly seeing through Wenren Yu's thoughts, Helian Nie felt a surge of displeasure and said coldly,
“The ugly thing is my offspring.”
With that ugly thing resembling me by seven-tenths, could it not be my offspring, or perhaps Si Beitaohua's?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. I absolutely did not mean that."
Wenren Yu coughed lightly to deny it, but it was just a fleeting thought. When it came to the royal bloodline, he would never dare to make wild guesses.
"But what does this have to do with that old scoundrel from Wenyi?"
How did the affairs of Consort Yun and Si Beitaohua get involved with the Wen family again?
Helian Nie raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Ying standing to the side. Chang Ying understood and stepped forward to explain the whole story to Wenren Yu.
"When Si Bei Tao Hua visited my Northern Yin with the envoy from Dong Chen, she met and fell in love with Consort Yun by chance while traveling among the common people."
However, Consort Yun had secretly slipped out of the manor, so she never revealed her true identity. Later, when the Emperor held a selection of concubines, Consort Yun hurriedly entered the palace, and thus lost contact with Si Beitao.
Si Beitao has stayed in Beiyin for so many years in search of Consort Yun. His unusual attire is also due to Consort Yun; the peach-colored umbrella he carries was a gift from her.
Wen Yi and Si Bei Tao Hua conspired to assassinate the Emperor. When Consort Wen left the palace and met Si Bei Tao Hua, she recognized the peach-shaped umbrella.
As for what agreement Si Beitaohua and the Wen family reached, that remains unknown. The information was obtained by prying it out of the mouth of one of Wen Yi's favorite concubines.
Changying's tense face began to falter; without uttering a word, he stole a glance at his emperor.
After all, Consort Yun was favored by the Emperor and had given birth to his little princess; she was the Emperor's true woman.
No man would be happy if his woman had any involvement with other men.
Although this was before Consort Yun entered the palace, bringing it up in front of the Emperor now still somewhat embarrasses him.
In fact, Changying was overthinking it. Helian Nie didn't care at all. An emperor who was obsessed with power could no longer afford to have any feelings for his children.
Wenren Yu, however, listened with great interest, fanning himself as he finished, and couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration twice.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a tale of love and hate! I used to think that Si Beitaohua had some strange habit of imitating women by applying makeup and rouge all day long."
So it turns out it was to remember Consort Yun's appearance. Consort Yun is extremely fond of peach blossoms, to the point of obsession; I've heard this mentioned before.
"Just to find Consort Yun, he abandoned his identity as a member of the Si Bei family and hid in my Bei Yin for many years. Tsk tsk tsk, this Si Bei Tao Hua is really a devoted lover."
The Prime Minister couldn't help but sigh again.
Changying's lips twitched. Why was the Prime Minister's focus always so novel? Shouldn't he be thinking about eliminating Wenyi right now?
The surrounding air suddenly turned frigid, and Wenren Yu, who was still in high spirits, shivered. She subconsciously looked across and, sure enough, saw Helian Nie's unpleasant expression.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
Helian Nie did not answer, but his peach blossom eyes coldly fell on Wenren Yu, the meaning was clear: spit it out.
"Look, autumn is just around the corner, and if I remember correctly, the little princess's birthday is coming soon."
Since Si Bei Tao Hua's goal is Consort Yun, then the little princess born to Consort Yun must be...
Wenren Yu didn't finish her sentence because Helian Nie's handsome face darkened, and his whole body was filled with a ruthless and vicious aura.
"You mean, Si Beitao Hua, dares to compete with me for that ugly thing?"
