"Although it doesn't feel right, but it shouldn't be too far off." Jun Wu Xie was very certain of her own judgement, regardless of whether it was from the rise of the rumours or from Lei Chen's words yesterday.
"To get the final answer, Lei Chen will have to tell us himself, and the only way to make him speak is through a genuine alliance." Jun Wu Xie said as she put down the tea in her hand.
Fan Zhuo nodded. "So, you retreated in order to advance, and forced Lei Chen to form an alliance with you."
After yesterday, Jun Wu Xie had never thought of drawing a clear line between herself and Lei Chen. To find the real map, the only way was through Lei Chen. Everything she had done, was just to tug at Lei Chen's heartstrings, to make him nervous, and force him to cling onto the Zephyr Academy tightly.
Moments later, Lei Chen came rushing back, and when he came back, he was holding a brocade box in his hand.
"What is this?" Rong Ruo asked.
The smile on Lei Chen's face had faded. He opened the brocade box, and inside it was a letter written in blood. The bright red handwriting on the letter made his eyes redden, and he brought it before Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie glanced at it, and her eyes flashed with a strange glint.
And the part that she had been discussing with Fan Zhuo about that did not seem right, had been completely dispelled by this blood letter.
"Who gave this to you?" Jun Wu Xie raised her head to look at Lei Chen.
Lei Chen said with a bitter smile: "The Empress' serving maid, or should I say ….. my birth mother."
When Lei Chen's words came out, Qiao Chu and the others who had not seen the blood letter immediately stared with wide eyes.
Lei Chen said: "It's funny to say that I, the Yan Country's Crown Prince, am just an illegitimate child without any Royal bloodline. My mother was a serving maid serving the Empress from a young age. When the Empress gave birth to a baby boy, my mother had an illicit affair with a guard and gave birth to me. The Empress had wanted to punish her, but the Empress' child had died a few days after it was born. In order to secure her position as Empress, the Empress had taken me in and raised me, treating me as her own child. All these years, I had thought that the Empress was my birth mother, until ….. Fourth Brother appeared, and I knew that it was all a lie."
Lei Chen was not the Empress' biological child and the Empress had only kept him and his mother alive to secure her position. As he was her only child, the Empress had doted on Lei Chen in her early years. Everyone thought that the Yan Country's Emperor and the Empress were deeply in love, but they did not know that the girl the Emperor truly loved was not the Empress, but a female official who had served the Emperor from a young age. After the Emperor ascended to the throne, he had taken the female official into the Imperial Harem and showered her with love. That female official had given birth to a baby boy more than a decade ago, but died from a difficult labor.
The baby boy had been taken in by the Empress to be raised by the Empress. She had seemed kind and sincere, but in fact, she had wanted to use the child to control the Emperor. However, not long after the child had been taken away by the Empress, he had been drowned by the Empress in the lotus pond. And the current Fourth Prince, Lei Fan, was the illegitimate child of the Empress and the Yan Country's Prime Minister …..
The Yan Country's Emperor did not know anything about this and had always seen Lei Fan as the child he had with the woman he loved, doting on him in every possible way. The Empress had been pleased with herself and she had doted on Lei Fan even more. That had not only pleased the Emperor, it had also made her position as Empress more secure. However, the Emperor and the Empress' attention had already been placed on Lei Fan, and Lei Chen, who had been used by the Empress to secure her position as Empress from a young age, had gradually become a thorn in the eyes of the two!
