Chapter 810: The Same Boat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Consort Yi wanted to scold her son, but when she heard this, her heart began to pound.

When she entered the room where Emperor Hao was resting, it was dark. She just went straight to the bed and found the man who reeked of alcohol on the bed. She thought it was Emperor Hao and then she pretended to be the Empress, letting the drunk Emperor Hao pamper her.

What if the man who touched her wasn’t Emperor Hao?

Consort Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that his mother had put the pieces together, Prince Yi continued, “Back then, he beat you at your own game. If you were really pregnant, we would have a more relaxed life and I could have the potential of becoming the Emperor. He was the one who weakened them in the dark, and you were still complacent, thinking that everything would be fine as long as I became the Emperor.”

Consort Yi did not want to believe this, but it was true that her family’s influence had been greatly reduced over the years. Compared to the late Emperor’s father, this was nothing.

She and her family were definitely becoming complacent, thinking that it would be fine as long as her son became the Emperor.

What would this mean if her son wasn’t Emperor Hao’s biological son?

“Ji Xiehui is his man.”

Prince Yi’s words made Consort Yi e s face turn pale. It turned out that it wasn’t just that they had played along back then. The Emperor had already set up a trap 15 years ago.

Prince Yi continued, “Shao Zhongxi came just now, but not a single person from our family came. Something must have happened. Mother, we have to make plans early.”

Actually, if it wasn’t for the fact that this mother was still somewhat useful, he would have already killed her.

Although Emperor Hao was despicable in some ways, that was also towards people. When dealing with people with evil intentions, Emperor Hao would never be merciful.

Otherwise, Emperor Hao wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble for so many years to endure it and not release it. Wasn’t he afraid that the Ji family would suddenly rebel and cause the people to suffer?

Wei Zizhan was still a child, and Emperor Hao used such methods to save him. Even if his mother and maternal family were punished, he would naturally be fine before he started doing anything bad.

Emperor Hao would probably settle him down. However, he did not want to settle down. He wanted the throne. However, Emperor Hao definitely wouldn’t give it to him.

His family would obviously be in trouble now. It was basically a foregone conclusion that he would not have the ident.i.ty of the Second Prince in his life if he were to be exposed. He had to be ten steps ahead of their five-step plan.

It just so happened that Prince Qing liked his mother. He wanted to use his mother to get on Prince Qings big ship so he could have a way out. Prince Qings fief was very big, and Emperor Hao was especially good to his younger brother. If Prince Qing brought him and his mother to that fief, he would make that fief sooner or later, and it would become a stepping stone for him to become the Emperor.

Consort Yi also felt that it was strange that no one from her family had entered the palace. Her family had always been well-informed of situations like these. If something happened in the palace, even if they came later than Shao Zhongxi, they would definitely come eventually. However, no one showed up. Now that her son had said this, she finally panicked. “Then, then what should we do?”

Without waiting for her son to answer, she asked anxiously, “Wait. How do you know this?”

“You don’t have to care how I know. You have to know that I’m your son. We’re in the same boat.’

Consort Yi was easily convinced. This was her son. He definitely wouldn’t harm her..
