Staring at the child she had raised for so many years and watched him grow up, Empress Cao's gaze was extremely cold. She smiled faintly and lowered her eyelids. "Sixth Prince, what did you do wrong? Why are you so afraid? Instead, it makes me seem like a snake or a scorpion, like a demon. Sixth Prince, quickly get up. It's late and I have to go to bed. It's not good to be old. I can't read people's hearts and even my body is not as strong as before. Come, prepare the carriage for me. "
The calmer her voice was, the more terrifying it made people's hairs stand on end.
Cold sweat kept seeping from Xiao Yunyi's forehead. He looked up abruptly and hissed at Empress Cao, who was preparing to prepare the carriage. "Mother, please listen to your son's explanation! Otherwise, your son won't be able to die in peace! "
Empress Cao suddenly looked back, her eyes cold. Her golden armor was pointed at Xiao Yunyi's forehead like a sword. She was furious. "Explain what? Explain that the son that this consort had painstakingly raised for eleven years did not protect this consort when this consort was in danger. Instead, he conspired with his birth mother to stab this consort in the back? He's not my biological son after all! I raised an ingrate for someone else all these years for nothing! "
Xiao Yunyi ignored the blood on his forehead and walked in front of her on his knees like a puppy. He said tearfully, "Mother, you've really misunderstood me! That day, the palace was in chaos. Xiao Yuncen gathered several ministers and charged into the palace to force you to abdicate. Your son was also deceived and was caught off guard. During the battle, I was seriously injured and fainted. When I woke up, I was already locked in a secret room by Yin Zhaoyi. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuncen had succeeded and Imperial Father had woken up. Your son knew that you were in danger and wanted to rush out to save you immediately. However, Yin Zhaoyi threatened me with her life and forced me not to appear. Your son admits that your son's heart did waver that day, but in the end, your son still refused to conspire with her! Because your son knows that even though she gave birth to me, the one who truly raised me, supported me, and gave me a way out was you!
After I escaped, I knew that Imperial Mother would be furious at Erchen's incompetence that day, so I didn't dare to appear in front of you until I killed all the traitors that colluded with Xiao Yuncen. Only then did I bring their heads to kneel in front of you and beg for forgiveness! Your son is indeed incompetent and has failed to live up to Imperial Mother's teachings and expectations, but your son's sincerity towards Imperial Mother has never been false! "
Empress Cao narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Really?"
Xiao Yunyi pointed three fingers at the sky and said sincerely and resolutely, "If there is a single lie in what I said just now, I will be struck by lightning and become a pig or dog in my next life. I will never be able to touch that stairway to heaven!"
Cao Hou had personally raised him for eleven years, and no one knew better than her about his hidden ambitions and aspirations. A vow struck by lightning was nothing in the eyes of the imperial family, but he was willing to use his vision of ruling the world as a vow. Cao Hou lowered his eyes and looked at him for a long time, as if he wanted to dig open his skin and see what the heart inside looked like.
To the east of the palace, thousands of sky lanterns rose into the sky like stars in a dark night. They merged into the sky and seemed to form a silver river between heaven and earth. It was a joyous scene, and it was easy to guess how happy the people under the lanterns were. Inside the palace, Cao Hou and Xiao Yunyi were facing each other. No one spoke, as if a battle of life and death had begun silently.
Cao Hou only shook his head slowly when the sky lanterns floated away and not a single star could be seen. The sky had turned completely cold and silent. He let out a long sigh in Xiao Yunyi's silent tears and walked in front of Xiao Yunyi kindly. He bent down and helped him up personally.
"Alright, I believe you. Good child, get up. If you continue to kneel like this, your legs will be crippled. How can I bear to see you like this?"
