Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, ”Marry her? ”Tell me, which girl do you like?”

”She hasn't agreed yet. When she agrees, this humble subject will naturally tell the emperor.” Mo Feiye's eyes faintly flickered, and her voice was neither light nor loud.

”If no one agrees, then what are you going to do with the marriage edict?” There was a trace of displeasure in the Emperor's voice.

”This humble subject wishes to request the Emperor to bestow an imperial edict. As long as this humble subject and that woman share a mutual love, I can get married.” As Mo Feiye said this, he glanced at Mo Ranran who was lying on the bed with the corner of his eye.

”Are you sure you don't want any other reward for this decree?” The Emperor thought that even if Mo Feiye didn't want the gold, silver and jewelry, he would still want some rewards that were beneficial to him.

He didn't expect to receive an imperial edict.

”I'll take this.” Mo Feiye's voice was filled with certainty. With this decree, it was equivalent to having a protective talisman.

”Very well, I shall grant you an imperial edict.” The Emperor thought for a moment and finally agreed.

The Emperor glanced at Mo Feiye and slowly spoke: ”Follow me to get the imperial edict.”

Mo Feiye bent his body slightly and left with the emperor.

As for the Second Prince, he had long since slipped away when the Emperor wasn't paying attention to him.

”Would it be possible for the Empress to move to the room next door? This servant has something to say to the Empress.” Jing Zhu waited until the emperor and his men left before speaking up.

”Can't you tell me here?” The Queen's brows furrowed as she spoke slowly.

Jing Zhu looked at Mo Ranran on the bed and shook his head, the Queen looked at her and said, ”Let's go.”

When Jing Zhu closed the door, he looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then closed the door.

The Queen looked at Jing Zhu who had a cautious expression, and her eyes flickered slightly.

After doing all this, Jing Zhu then slowly opened his mouth, and spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being overheard, ”Empress, do you still remember the little princess that was born in Consort Ye more than ten years ago?”

”Of course I remember. Why did you bring this up?” The empress frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across her calm face. Of course she remembered that child.

Jing Zhu looked at the Queen and asked: ”Then does the Empress still remember what Consort Ye pierced into her shoulder when she was born?”

”I naturally remember.” Empress's eyes dimmed. Back then, in order to gain Ye Rou's trust, she had held that child tightly.

Jing Zhu said softly, ”I seem to have seen that tattoo on Mo Ranran's body today.”

”What did you say!” The empress who had been sitting suddenly rose to her feet, her eyes wide, her face full of shock, her voice sharp.

”Empress, don't be in such a hurry. Perhaps I made a mistake.” Back then, she was still young. So many years had passed, maybe she remembered something wrong.

The Queen heard and looked at Jing Zhu, calming her emotions down for a moment, before speaking, ”What did you see?”

Jing Zhu looked at the Queen's expression and carefully said: ”A bright red Equinox Flower.”

The tea in the empress's hands fell to the ground with a thud.

”Empress, did you get burned?” Jing Zhu anxiously wanted to check on the empress's hand.

”It's nothing, can you see it clearly? Is it really a Equinox Flower? ” The tea was not hot. The Empress had lost her hand because she was too shocked.

”Yes, that flower pierced Mo Ranran's right shoulder, exactly the same as the place where the little princess pierced him at that time.” Jing Zhu had waited on the empress for a long time, and could faintly guess that things weren't that simple anymore.

”Empress, do you think that Mo Ranran is the little princess that Ye Rou gave birth to back then?” Within the Four Great Kingdoms, only Ye Kingdom could produce Equinox Flower, and these kinds of flowers were extremely rare, being treated as a symbol of status by the Ye Kingdom Imperial Family. When every Royal Family was born, they would use special colored colors to coat their bodies with Equinox Flower, to display their identity.

”Impossible! I saw with my own eyes that Ye Rou and that child died in that great fire. It's impossible that Mo Ranran was that child!” The empress's voice was filled with certainty. She had personally witnessed their deaths, so it was impossible for Mo Ranran to be that child!

”What if the dead child isn't a princess?” Jing Zhu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still spoke his mind.

The empress's face didn't look good.

Jing Zhu looked at the Empress, and said word by word, ”Actually, it's very simple to know whether or not Mo Ranran was the little princess back then. Mo Ranran is in a room at the side, and the Empress can tell at a glance.”

After Jing Zhu finished speaking, the Queen fell silent.

”The Empress must not lose this opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to see again.” Jing Zhu knew that the Empress wouldn't be able to accept this in a short amount of time. If it was her, she wouldn't be able to accept it even if someone who had died for such a long time were to suddenly die.

”Let's go. Follow me and have a look.” After a moment of silence, the Empress's face regained its tranquility as a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes. What Jing Zhu said was right, regardless of whether it was true or not, she had to go over and take a look.

When the empress and Jing Zhu returned to the empress's room, a palace maid was feeding Mo Ranran medicine. Seeing the empress come over, the palace maid put down the medicine bowl in her hands and bowed to the empress.

The Queen looked at Jing Zhu, and Jing Zhu walked forward slowly and picked up the medicine bowl, ”You can go down first, I'll feed Miss Mo the medicine.”

”Yes.” The palace maid didn't want to leave, so when her gaze met with the empress at the side, she could only withdraw.

”Empress, it's enough.” After the palace maid left, Jing Zhu checked once more to make sure that there was no one around before speaking.
