"Since you're already my wife, there are some things that I won't hide from you anymore." Ki Chien-chul's tone became extremely serious.
Wei Ziyao hurriedly waved her hand. "Why don't you keep it from me? The more you know, the sooner you die. I understand that."
"It's too late!" Ki Chien-chul glanced at her with disdain. "Actually, I knew when I was very young that Consort Duan wasn't my birth mother. My birth mother was someone else."
"Then do you know who your birth mother is?"
"I don't know." Ki Chien-chul shook his head. "I only know that when I was born, if it wasn't for Consort Duan's protection, I wouldn't have grown to this age. At that time, Consort Duan had just entered the palace not long ago. In order to raise me, she gave up the favor and treated my father coldly. Now, they're like strangers."
Wei Ziyao didn't expect there to be such a deep meaning behind it.
"Mother 'gave birth' to a son not long after she and father got married. She was envied and framed, causing her to be infertile."
Ki Chien-chul's voice was filled with sorrow.
"Father and mother were childhood sweethearts. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have been forced to be a concubine. She could have been a Noble Consort, Imperial Noble Consort, or even the Empress. This was why the Empress feared my mother the most. If I had been more outstanding … my mother would have lost her last bit of peace. "
"I see. Although you're a bit of a scumbag as a man, you're still a filial son."
Wei Ziyao thought of a saying she once heard, "If you're born without care, you can return with a severed finger. If you're born with care, you can return with a severed head. If you're not born with care, you can't return with care for a hundred generations."
"You can't return with care for a hundred generations … That's true." Ki Chien-chul nodded.
"But since you've been pretending for so many years, why did you … reveal your fangs this time?"
Ki Chien-chul did a great job in the snow disaster this time. The Emperor didn't allow him to investigate, and he had recalled all his subordinates while he was recuperating.
But he had the ability to force Fourth Prince to this point in such a short time.
Come to think of it, Ki Chien-chul was the one who was truly frightening.
"Because I realized that since I was born into the royal family, it's impossible to be independent. Blindly retreating and enduring will only put the people I care about in danger. I've been dodging for long enough. It's time for them to understand some principles."
"What the …" Wei Ziyao looked at Ki Chien-chul.
"Old man, you're overlooking the world. You're going to transform."
Wei Ziyao had to hand it to Fourth Bro and the others. Why couldn't they just let him be an idiot?
Why did they have to force a wolf king that was pretending to be asleep to wake up?
"So, I don't care about what Ruier does. It was her and the Empress' scheme from the beginning. Even her father becoming a criminal and her being adopted by the Empress was all planned by the Empress."
The circle of the rich is really messy …
"It's just that you've been wronged. That Ruier is always causing trouble for you …"
"Hey! I'm just worried that I'll be bored. When have I ever taken advantage of her? "
"You know me best …" Ki Chien-chul said as he reached out to grab Wei Ziyao's hand.
Unexpectedly, the latter dodged instantly. "Wait a moment, Your Highness, please don't flatter me. I'm just a vulgar woman from a martial family. I can't be your understanding flower. I'm sorry, Your Highness!"
Wei Ziyao finished speaking and was about to run away.
However, Ki Chien-chul grabbed her wrist. "Wei Ziyao, are you serious …"
"Woof woof woof! Woof! "
Before Ki Chien-chul could finish his sentence, the little puppy that had been carried to the backyard rushed out.
It didn't care who the other party was. Seeing that he was forcefully pulling its master, it rushed forward without saying anything.
Ki Chien-chul quickly dodged.
