Luo Qingchen stilled for a moment. She suddenly felt that this atmosphere made her feel a bit fearful and uneasy.
It was probably because the Empress Dowager's mood had changed too quickly or because the rain outside the window was too loud, causing people to feel fear.
"Child, come here and let aijia see." The Empress Dowager looked at her and waved her hand. Her eyes were filled with kindness.
Consort Rou hurriedly said in a low voice: "Quickly go."
Luo Qingchen's eyes trembled slightly as she walked in the direction of the Empress Dowager.
Her right hand was slightly trembling. It seemed like she was anticipating and excited.
Luo Qingchen slowly reached out her hand and the Empress Dowager immediately grasped it tightly.
She carefully examined Luo Qingchen's face and said: "Looking at it like this, you do look a bit like the late emperor. How much do you know about your past?"
Luo Qingchen shook her head and said: "I don't know very well. I only know that my mother had me take this jade pendant to find my father. But even in death, she did not tell me who my father was?"
"Then why did you enter the palace?" The Empress Dowager's question was very sharp, but Luo Qingchen understood the urgency of an elder wanting to know the truth.
In reality, the Empress Dowager was still very young. She was only in her thirties, but her complexion did not look that good.
The late emperor had died of illness in less than two years. Other than enjoying endless glory and wealth, there was only loneliness left in her life.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager." Luo Qingchen took a deep breath and slowly said: "Qingchen knows that saying this is not in accordance with the rules. My adoptive parents were most likely killed by the Empress' relatives."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager did not show any surprise.
After a long time, she sighed softly and said: "Perhaps this matter was arranged by the Empress from the beginning."
"Empress Dowager … …"
"Listen to aijia." The Empress Dowager's expression calmed down and she slowly said: "Before the late emperor ascended the throne, aijia's child, the current Emperor, was already ten years old."
Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, he conferred titles to the imperial concubines and established the crown prince, Feng Yu.
The Crown Princess at that time was not the current Empress, but another woman named Hua Ying.
She was good at singing and dancing, and her beauty overshadowed all other beauties. She was like a blooming red rose, and no one could surpass her beauty.
The current Empress was called Jia Lan. Back then, she was just a small palace maid by the Crown Princess's side.
However, this palace maid was unwilling to accept the fate of a palace maid. She actually climbed into the Crown Prince's bed when Feng Yu was drunk.
The next day, he was conferred the title of master.
Crown Princess Hua Ying remembered that she was someone who had left her side, so she rewarded her with many things.
But at that time, Jia Lan only wanted to climb higher and higher. Her ultimate goal was to become the Crown Princess.
A few months later, Hua Ying suddenly fell ill. At first, it was just a small cold, but it got worse.
Even the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't find out what the problem was. They only said that she was weak and would be fine after some rest.
But in the end, Hua Ying did not recover. A few months later, she passed away.
At this time, the emperor was also seriously ill, and the reason was unknown. After a few days, he passed away. The Crown Prince, Feng Yu, officially ascended the throne, and Jia Lan became the current Empress with her eloquence.
Feng Yu might not like Jia Lan, but she did manage her imperial harem in an orderly manner. As a result, the emperor almost did not have any children for so many years.
