Yin Lian's expression was panicking, it was impossible for Nalan Jie to not pay attention. His eyes flashed with anger as he pinched Yin Lian's chin and asked: ”Speak, do you know something?”

”Your – Your Majesty, please calm your anger!” Yin Lian seemed to be frightened by Nalan Jie's vicious expression and subconsciously took a step back. She opened up a distance between the two of them and timidly said, ”This humble one is from the Southern Frontier. I have heard of Liang Wan's name before …”

The Nalan Jie frowned. Liang Wan's mother was from the Southern Frontier, so she herself wasn't too related to it. So how could Yin Lian have heard of Liang Wan? He returned to his chair and sat down, using his eyes to signal for Yin Lian to continue.

Yin Lian seemed to be slightly excited. She tried to calm down for a while before saying, ”I heard from our Witch clan's grandmother that Liang Wan is our Southern Frontier's witch, and is a continuation of our bloodline.”

Witch? The Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows. Liang Wan's father was Chinese, how could she be a witch?

Then, Yin Lian started to explain. He found out that Liang Wan's mother was actually a witch in the Southern Frontier, but because of the internal conflict that they had, their daughter was actually a witch. It was just that by the time Southern Frontier side found out, Liang Wan was already gone.

”Your Majesty, we Witch Clan's Witch Daughters are very magical. They only have daughters. I heard that the daughter of a witch of the purest bloodline will definitely be a Witch …”

Yin Lian was still talking excitedly. Suddenly, she had her chin pinched again. ”What did you say?”

”Ah?” I, I said we witches are magical, only having a daughter... ”Ahhh!” Before Yin Lian could finish her sentence, she was pushed aside by Nalan Jie. She almost fell to the ground, but a cold light flashed past her eyes.

Nalan Jie had an ugly expression on his face: ”Are you speaking the truth?”

”Of course it's true. This is something that we, the citizens of Southern Frontier, all know. If you don't believe us, your majesty, you can go and investigate!” Yin Lian looked at Nalan Jie pitifully as he sobbed softly.

Nalan Jie's mind seemed to explode. If he was only given a daughter, then what was going on with Nalan Rongxuan?

He was an emperor. The moment he thought of him being cuckolded, his heart burned with anger, and even his temples began to ache. He was extremely irritated, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yin Lian.

Yin Lian walked over, her jade-like hands proactively pressed on Nalan Jie's temples. Nalan Jie's mouth was getting more and more dry as she turned around and hugged Yin Lian …

When the clouds dissipated and the rain dissipated, the Nalan Jie seemed to be a lot more carefree. When he thought about his virtuous and virtuous imperial concubine, he felt a burst of depression in her heart. He could dislike Nalan Rongxuan, but he could not accept that Nalan Rongxuan was a bastard!

However, what Yin Lian said was indeed reasonable, it did not seem like she was just making it up. The Nalan Jie called for Eunuch Huang and gave Geng Qing a secret order for him to investigate Senior Concubine Wan's identity and background.

Receiving such a secret decree, Geng Qing's heart also skipped a beat. Thinking back to that gentle and moving woman from back then, he really couldn't understand why the Emperor would suddenly become interested in these things after all these years.

Furthermore, Geng Qing was puzzled by the words of ”witch” who was only born with a daughter. Is the Emperor suspecting that the King Xuan is not his own flesh and blood?
