Chapter 569: Confusing the Royal Bloodline

someone protecting her, she wasn't in a hurry to get into trouble, but seeing those beautiful peach blossoms destroyed, her good mood vanished instantly.Just then, countless hidden weapons suddenly ap..."You, what do you mean" The Empress subconsciously glanced at Fang Minrou, discovering that her face had changed drastically. She couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly: Could it be that this girl was still hiding something

“Your Majesty Empress Dowager, don’t listen to Xiao Yuge’s nonsense. She is just jealous! She doesn’t want to marry Brother Tingxuan with me.” Fang Minrou seemed to realize something and quickly interjected.

After all, Tai Hou had spent decades in the palace. She had encountered every kind of scheme imaginable. At this moment, she seemed to have begun to suspect something, so she asked Xiao Yu Ge again: "Xiao Yu Ge, what did you just mean If you can't explain yourself, even if Xuer protects you today, I will not let it go!"

Xiao Yuge glanced at Fang Minrou, whose face had already changed drastically, and chuckled softly: "I ask the Empress Dowager, what is the sin of confusing the royal bloodline"

The Empress Dowager, not understanding the situation, blurted out: "Confusing the royal bloodline is naturally a grave crime punishable by extermination of the nine clans!" Then, as if she had just realized something, she asked, "What do you mean"

"Your Majesty, what the servant girl means is, Lady Fang is anxious to find a father for the child in her womb. She wants Your Royal Highness to be that father, taking responsibility for the child."

As soon as she said this, the Empress Dowager's eyes widened in shock. She trembled and asked, "What... what did you say" She looked at Fang Minrou in disbelief. She never expected that after treating Fang Minrou with such kindness, Fang Minrou would deceive her.

"Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense. I, I didn't..." Fang Minrou still wanted to argue.

"Am I talking nonsense Just have a physician take a look and it will be clear." Xiao Yuge was naturally confident.

"No! No, that's not right..." At this moment, Fang Minrou had already become limp.

“Minrou, you! You!” The Empress Dowager was so angry that her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. She nearly fell off the phoenix throne. She hadn't expected that the child she had doted on with all her heart, the very child she had just gone to great lengths to help, would actually deceive her.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" At this moment, Fang Min wept softly and tearfully admitted her mistake to the Empress Dowager: "I just love Brother Tingxuan too much..."

"You are pregnant with someone else's child and still want to marry Xuer Are you trying to muddle the royal bloodline Don't you have any sense" At this time, Empress Dowager opposite Minrou was also extremely disappointed. She could accept Fang Minrou's indiscretion, but she couldn't accept Fang Minrou's attempt to confuse the royal bloodline.

"Empress Dowager, that's not how it is, please listen to my explanation..." Fang Minrou was also caught off guard. Her well-planned scheme had turned out like this, and it was all because of that despicable Xiao Yuge.

"For the sake of Old General Yang, today's matter, this Imperial Concubine will pretend it never happened. And you are forbidden to mention it again!" The Empress Dowager didn't want to hear her speak another word. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and trembled as she pointed at her: "This Empress Dowager doesn't want to see you again! Get out!"

"Your Majesty..." Fang Minrou still wanted to say something, but seeing the Empress Dowager's emotionless expression, she knew that she had lost her only support. She glared fiercely at Xiao Yuge once before turning and leaving.

After this incident, the Empress Dowager’s just-now spirited demeanor seemed to vanish all at once. She looked listless and weary again. She glanced at Xiao Yu Ge, then at Qian Ting Xuan, let out a long sigh, and waved her hand dismissively at them: “You two may go back now. This old woman is tired.”

"The civilian woman retires!"

"This son bids farewell!"

Xiao Yu Ge and Qian Ting Xuan both left there.

As soon as they left Shoukang Palace, Eunuch An arrived hurriedly, saying that the Emperor was eager to see the Prince.

"Little song, wait for me at the palace gate, I'll be there soon." Qian Tingxuan stroked her head and then leaned into her ear, "Don't think about running back first, we still have things to say..."

"Mmm, I'll wait for you." Xiao Yuge knew what he was referring to. She could only feign a cheerful nod, her heart secretly crying out: how is she going to get past this hurdle

Xiao Yuge was walking towards the palace, but she hadn't gone far when she ran into Qian Yi'an. It wasn't exactly a coincidence; it felt more like he had been waiting for her there specifically, because he was alone, and even Lian Xin, who usually never left his side, wasn't with him.

"Your Highness, Prince Xian." Seeing him, Xiao Yuge couldn't help but smile. In her eyes, Qian Yi'an was the only truly sincere person in this palace.

"Song'er, would you accompany me for a walk" For some reason, Qian Yi'an seemed rather downcast today, a faint melancholy etched upon his brow.

"What's wrong Is something the matter" Seeing him like this, Xiao Yuge was a little worried.

He shook his head gently, looked at her silently for a long time, and then asked: "Gē'er, are you really going to marry the little uncle"

"Hmm." Xiao Yu Ge nodded. "I owe him so much..."

"So, you agreed to marry your little uncle out of gratitude, didn't you" Qian Yi'an looked at her with strange eyes.

"It's not all bad..." Xiao Yuge didn't notice his oddity, just smiling to herself as she looked down: "Actually, being with him is pretty good." At least he always protected her. Although he could usually make her angry, he was humorous and witty, with a bit of shameless charm, and he always managed to cheer her up. Thinking about spending her life with someone like that wasn't bad at all.

"Then, do you love him" Qian Yi'an saw her like this, the melancholy in his eyes even deeper.

Xiao Yu Ge thought for a moment, then smiled and shook her head. "I don't know..." Love Ever since she agreed to marry him, she would also ask herself this question. In fact, she couldn't explain it either. Perhaps because the ending of her previous life was too tragic, so in this life, she subconsciously resisted love and didn't believe that there was such a thing as love in this world.

"If you don't love him, how can marrying him bring you happiness" Qian Yi'an's eyes showed a hint of anxiety.

Xiao Yu Ge only realized something was amiss at this moment, but didn't dwell on it: "Your Highness, what's wrong I'm getting married today, or rather, spending one more day with you. We should be congratulating each other, shouldn't we"

"Indeed, congratulations are in order." Even her faint smile seemed so forlorn, with no hint of joy on her face befitting a bride.

"What's wrong Did you have a fight with Miss Ye" Xiao Yuge mistakenly thought he was arguing with his fiancee. Although she was younger than him, she acted like an elder sister and kindly advised, "It's normal for these two to bicker. Besides, you're getting married soon. There are bound to be many trivial matters before the wedding, which can easily cause anxiety. It will be fine after you get married. I can see that Miss Ye is a very good girl, she will treat you sincerely."

"No, I..." Qian Yi's words reached his lips but he swallowed them back down. He was afraid that if he said some things out loud, they might not even be friends anymore.d, wouldn't be defeated by your mere kneel! Continue!”Xiao Yuge didn't waste any more words with her and continued to bend down. At that moment, a flash of green light passed by, followed by a louder...
