Chapter 526: Is It a Curse?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Her parents’ decision made her feel even more indignant.

She was clearly the one who had suffered, but why did she have to continue to suffer?

She couldn’t recover her ident.i.ty and even had to pretend to be her sister, Yan Xiaoqiao.

She refused, but it was useless. His parents had plenty of ways to force her to do as they pleased.

That was why Yan Xiaoxi came here disguised as Yan Xiaoqiao.

“That’s right. I’m Yan Xiaoqiao’s sister. I’m the twin sister who was sent out by the Yan family!”

As soon as she said this, there was an uproar. After everyone came back to their senses, they began to discuss it.

Li Xiaoran felt that the people around her were looking at her strangely, so she looked at Meng Yan.

“Why do they look like they want to hide after hearing about the twins?”

Meng Yan looked at Li Xiaoran and saw the confusion on her face, so she asked, “Don’t you know? It’s said that giving birth to twins is a curse from the heavens, especially identical twins. Whoever gives birth to twins will face disaster!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes widened.

“Who said that? How did twins become a curse? This is nonsense. I know a pair of twins and the two of them have been bringing good luck to their families since they were born. Later on, their lives became better and better. How did such a blissful thing become a curse in your eyes?”

“The state preceptor said so. The state preceptor said that twins are the curse of the heavens and they’re born to bring disaster to people, so when everyone hears about twins, they’re filled with fear!” Meng Yan said.

Li Xiaoran was at a loss and said, “When did the government have a state preceptor?”

Meng Yan told her, “There has always been a state preceptor. It’s just that the state preceptor hasn’t found an heir yet, so he went out of the capital to find a suitable disciple! Speaking of which, the state preceptor appeared during the empress dowager’s birthday because the state preceptor prays for her every year!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said with schadenfreude, “In that case, after the news that Yan Xiaoqiao and this woman are twins spread, Prime

Minister Yan’s family will probably be in trouble!”

When Meng Yan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she shook her head.

“Don’t rejoice too early. Prime Minister Yan isn’t easy to deal with. In my opinion, this matter will most likely be resolved by Prime Minister Yan. At that time, Prime Minister Yan will push the blame to you and say that you had a grudge because Yan Xiaoqiao coveted your man, so you created rumors to slander the Yan family. After all, there are many people who look alike, so it’s normal. Many cousins look alike as well!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Meng Yan’s words, she immediately pursed her lips.

Because she knew very well that the development of the matter might be as Meng Yan had guessed.

“Then shoulf I have let them slander me?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said indignantly.

Meng Yan didn’t know what to say. After all, with Li Xiaoran’s current ident.i.ty, she was no match against Prime Minister Yan.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry. The emperor definitely won’t blame you. After all, this person injured you first, so it’s understandable that you counterattacked. It’s just that it’s not easy to use this matter to bring down Prime Minister Yan!”

Li Xiaoran knew that Meng Yan was right, so she suppressed her aggrieved emotions.

She was alone now, so it was better not to go against Prime Minister Yan.

It wasn’t easy to get rid of him, so they had to take it slow.

Li Xiaoran recalled her previous guess.

In that case, Yan Xiaoqiao actually had a subst.i.tute.

When the Yan family needed her, this person called Yan Xiaoxi had to do anything for Yan Xiaoqiao at any time.

If Prime Minister Yan didn’t know about this, it could only be said to be a scheme between women.

If Prime Minister Yan knew about this but didn’t acknowledge Yan Xiaoxi’s ident.i.ty, and treated Yan Xiaoxi as Yan Xiaoqiao’s subst.i.tute now, it would be difficult to hide the scheme behind this!

At this moment, Luo Cheng also saw his father.

After a while, when Luo Cheng saw his father again, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have aged a lot.

When they met a while ago, he looked quite energetic.

Luo Cheng blurted out what was on his mind, “Father, you have to take care of yourself! ”

The emperor looked at the child in front of him. He had heard many people asking him to take care of himself, but Luo Cheng sounded the most sincere when he said this.

People’s hearts were made of flesh. As time pa.s.sed, one would see who was sincere and who was hypocritical.

Although he was the emperor, he was also a person of flesh and blood.

He was also a shrewd person.

“It’s fine. I’m recovering! It’s all thanks to you for developing an antidote for mania previously. Otherwise, the government would have been in chaos!” The emperor said with a smile.

Back then, the emperor and Xiao Dezi made a bet, but no one lost or won. Luo Cheng didn’t enter the royal family, but he resolved the emperor’s urgent need.

Looking at his son in front of him, the emperor had mixed feelings.

He yearned for his son, Luo Cheng, to be closer to him, but he was also a little angry. Why did Luo Cheng let Li Shun send the medicine rather than himself back then?

Actually, the emperor knew very well that Luo Cheng didn’t trust him.

Realizing this, the emperor actually felt a little upset. There wasn’t much trust between the father and son.

“That’s all I can do!” was all Luo Cheng said.

“You didn’t come to the palace just to show concern for my health, did you?” the emperor asked Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng thought of something and took out the food box in his hand.

“Xiaoran made some rice cakes. The ingredients she prepared yesterday were steamed early this morning. When I left, she instructed me to bring a food box to Father!”

The emperor’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

To be honest, it had been a long time since he had eaten food cooked by Luo Cheng’s wife, so he really craved it.

The emperor quickly stood up and took the food box. After he asked someone to pour water, he washed his hands and took the rice cake from the food box to

The rice cake was just ordinary rice cake. There was nothing special about it.

However, it was this plain rice cake that reminded the emperor of his childhood joy.

The emperor had a tough childhood.

At that time, the most blissful thing for the emperor was eating the rice cake personally made by his mother, the current empress dowager.

“This taste is the same as the rice cake your grandma made! I really miss it!”
