"The rest, then, all died in the struggles of the palace," the Emperor of Xiyun sighed deeply, a mix of helplessness and heartache in his breath.
"The position I currently occupy is too alluring. Which of the concubines who have given birth to a son does not wish for her son to become the Crown Prince, to succeed my throne?"
"Tao, The Imperial Concubine, and Consort Han were at the forefront of this."
"Initially, both Tao and Consort Han's maternal families held substantial authority, and I could not deal with them rashly. Even though they were responsible for the death of Chengyu's mother, I could not lay a finger on them..."
At this point, the Emperor of Xiyun's eyes reddened, and he choked up, "Yi Er, you cannot imagine the feeling of having the woman you love die in your arms, and you are unable to immediately take revenge for her. At that time, I even wanted to kill myself!"
Xiao Changyi was taken aback, "Was it they who killed my adoptive mother?"
