He is truly heartless, truly terrifying.
"What about Sheng Qiaoyue?"
Wasn't Sheng Qiaoyue supposed to be the one he loved the most? He married Xiao Qinqin because Sheng Qiaoyue was her dowry maid.
Could it be that everything was really just a scheme?
The Emperor's agitated heart slowly calmed down. He said to the Empress indifferently, "Qiaoyue? She's Qinqin's most loyal maid. Qinqin has always treated her as a younger sister, so naturally, I will look after her for Qinqin."
He sighed softly and said, "As for Tingyu? He is Consort Jiang's son. Your plan to achieve two goals with one action not only killed Consort Jiang, but she also risked her life to give birth to the child. It was at that time I conveniently promoted Qiaoyue."
