The two persons, Ji Yanran and Teng Yi were utterly shocked
Teng Yi advised: “Lao Ai is now regarding you as a thorn in the flesh If you go to Yongdu, you et into trouble Moreover, if Crown Prince knows about it, he would be more determined to kill you than ever”
Ji Yanran also spoke up: “Eer the Empress of the past She may even assume that you killed her real son in order to make the switch It is really not appropriate for you to see her”

Ever since Xiang Shaolong got to know Ji Yanran, this is the first time she is so fierce and upset Petrified, he shuddered and dare not defend himself anymore

Ji Yanran, Teng Yi and Jing Jun were stupefied, staring at Xiang Shaolong whose face is suddenly drained of colour
With a skeptical expression, Xiang Shaolong wondered: “Do you think Guan Zhongxie would e? We are one month away from the coronation day and the current time frame is a critical period Would he be contended to remain stationed far away?”
Teng Yi rationalized: “Without Brother Xiao’s talented hands, how can they create a fake Guan Zhongxie?”
Ji Yanran debated: “If Lu Buwei has the intention, it is not difficult to find so people to provide additional cover, like hly possible for Hubby’s hypothesis to be right”
