After seeing his biological mother's grave again, the hypocritical smile on Dongfang Ye's face disappeared, and his voice even trembled slightly when he spoke.
"Back then? When I met Yun'er and Xian'er, I fell in love with Yun'er at first sight, and Xian'er fell in love with me at first sight, so I took them both into the palace, but then...ahem..."
Dongfang Tianqi coughed before he finished speaking, and Xiao Anzi on the side immediately stepped forward and patted him on the back, and then said:
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while and let my servant speak for you."
Seeing him nodding in agreement, Xiao Anzi slowly told what happened that year.
After listening to this, Li Ruo had a look of disappointment on his face. This was actually not much different from what he had guessed.
There is no doubt that the emperor used others as a shield in order to protect his beloved woman.
After Dongfang Ye heard this, his body trembled a little. He didn't expect that everything Yu Fei told him was actually true.
He raised his head sharply and shot at Dongfang Tianqi without hesitation, but was blocked by Dongfang Yao.
"Third brother, there are still things I haven't figured out yet."
Dongfang Tianqi originally thought that Dongfang Yao was going to save him, but he didn't expect that to be the case. His eyes were filled with grief and his voice became increasingly hoarse.
"Yao'er, just ask if you have anything." Now that things have happened, he has nothing to hide.
Dongfang Yao took out a hairpin from his arms, stared at him and asked:
"Why, my mother-in-law said that this hairpin was given by Emperor Father, but you said that it was given by Prince Fu to her?"
Dongfang Tianqi's face became even paler. He trembled his hands and opened his lips, but he didn't say a word.
"Hehe, I know about this, but it's better that none of you know about it. After all, it's too nonsense."
Seeing him like this, Li Ruo's sympathy surged. She really couldn't bear that Dongfang Tianqi was being questioned like this by her biological son when he was dying. She rolled her eyes and said.
Sikong Xuan looked at her, sighed helplessly, looked at her and said:
"Ruo'er, do you have to participate in their housework?"
"Who said this is their family matter? The royal family's affairs are the affairs of the world. As a good young man, you must care about everything in your family, state, and the world. Do you understand?"
After saying that, she stopped paying attention to the people on the side, hooked her fingers at Dongfang Yao, slapped him on the head when he came over, and then said:
"Idiot, you've seen the emperor's physical condition. It's been so many years, so he can't just make a slip of the tongue."
"Slip of the tongue?"
Dongfang Yao looked at the person in front of him doubtfully and asked subconsciously.
"Of course it was a slip of the tongue, otherwise what other explanation can there be?"
Liruo winked secretly at Xiao Anzi, who immediately understood and echoed:
"Fourth prince, the emperor and Prince Fu fell in love with your mother-in-law together, and then they each gave her a hairpin. Maybe the emperor made a mistake at that time."
"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Dongfang Tianqi on the side also said with regret.
At this time, the person who had been standing aside for a long time without speaking spoke said:
"Well, Father, today, are you appointing your son as the crown prince to help your fourth brother avoid trouble?"
The corner of Li Ruo's mouth twitched, and he was just trying to be ridiculous. He would definitely not believe what Dongfang Tianqi said at this time. Do you want to do it yourself again? But if you tell too many lies, you will be struck by lightning.
