Ling Yueqing really lived up to her expectations and said, "You have done so many bad things that you will definitely die, but this child is indeed innocent. If you tell her everything you have done over the years, I will spare your life until you give birth to the baby."

"But the day this child is born is the day of your fate. I will send this child to a good family for adoption. In this life, he will never know who his biological parents are. You have to think it over carefully."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yi kowtowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess. I only hope that he grows up safely. I will pray for you every day for the rest of my life."

Li Zhongyu saw Ling Yueqing looking at him again, and hurriedly said, "Princess, please understand. This child is not mine. It has nothing to do with me. Can you spare my life?"

It was just a child, he didn't care, he was in good health and had plenty of time to have children. He didn't want the birth date of this child to be the day of his death.

As if she had seen through Li Zhongyu's thoughts, Ling Yueqing smiled with tolerance and kindness, "I thought you were the father of this child, and I wanted you to wait until he was born before dying."

Before Li Zhongyu could breathe a sigh of relief, Ling Yueqing stopped smiling and said, "Since it's not the tree, it's simple. There's no need to wait. Let's find a good day to chop it down in the next few days."

Li Zhongyu's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground in fear.

Ling Yueqing continued, "You go to the palace so frequently, but Li Yi didn't get pregnant with your child. I guess she's useless. If she's useless, there's no need to keep her."

"Eunuch Liang, please clean him up before he dies, so he can leave cleanly."

Ling Yueqing despises the most such unfaithful men who dare to do things but not to take responsibility. Their existence is a waste of air.

Everyone present swallowed their saliva. Emperor Qianyang looked at Xiao Mingchen with sympathy. He used to think that it would be great if such an intelligent woman was his concubine, but now it seems that forget it. It would be better to let his brother control such a strong woman.

"I obey your command." Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Eunuch Liang responded with an "OK".

Looking at Li Zhongyu with sympathy, the princess' move was really cruel. They just wanted to have everything complete.

Whenever a eunuch died, his descendants would be taken back from the Jingshifang for burial. It looked like Li Zhongyu would not be able to have everything complete.

Li Zhongyu was dragged away screaming. Li Yi had a blank expression on his face and was completely disappointed in him.

Just now Ling Yueqing thought that Li Yi was a love-brained person, but now it seems that he does have one good point, that is, after seeing through the other person's true face, he broke up decisively without begging for favors.

"Tell me your story."

Li Yi opened her mouth several times, "So many things have happened in these years, I don't even know where to start."

"Start from the time you discovered you had a twin sister, or how you met Li Zhongyu."

"Yes."

Li Yi's eyes looked somewhat painful, as if he had thought of something bad.

"When I was ten years old, my adoptive parents wanted to marry me to a lame old bachelor who had beaten his three wives to death, so I ran away..."

"I had never left home and had nowhere to go. I only had a few copper coins from my adoptive parents, but food outside was very expensive and I was small, so I couldn't find a job. My money was quickly gone."

"Without any help, I learned to beg like a bunch of other kids my age, and lived on the charity from passers-by. Life outside was similar to that at my adoptive parents' home, and I was often beaten, but after a while I got used to it, and it didn't hurt that much anymore."

Although Li Yi said so, when he thinks back on the suffering he endured during those years, he feels a chill in his bones.

She had been ridden like a horse while she was kneeling, she had been made into a snowman by others in the heavy snow, and she had been tied up and exposed to the scorching sun in the hot summer. How could she forget these vivid pains?

She closed her eyes for a moment before continuing, "After living in the open air for several years, when I was thirteen, I met Yu Lang... Li Zhongyu. His family wasn't very wealthy, but they had enough food and clothing."

"He often brought me food, and we became familiar with each other. After a long time, he discovered that I was a girl."

"After that, he took me with him. He treated me very well during those days and told everyone that I was his fiancée. He said that he only regretted that I was still young and could not get married. When I reached the age of 15, he would immediately marry me in a sedan chair carried by eight people."

Regardless of whether it was true or false, Li Yi was happy at that time. Even when she thinks back on it now, a smile appears on her face involuntarily.

"Later, I reached the age of marriage, but strangely, whenever I talked to him about marriage, he would always be stuck with something else and be extremely busy."

"At the time, I didn't think it was wrong, I just thought it was a coincidence, and even believed what he said about good things taking time. Now I think he probably didn't want to marry me and was deliberately shirking his responsibility."

Li Yi laughed at herself, but tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

"One day, I went out for fun with him and was stopped by someone. The person called me Miss Luo and asked me why I came out since I had entered the palace to be a queen. I told her that she had recognized the wrong person and didn't take it to heart. After all, people look alike."

"A few days later, Li Zhongyu suddenly told me excitedly that he had found my biological parents. I was neither excited nor surprised."

"After all, from the daily beatings and scoldings from my adoptive parents, I can tell that I am not their biological child. But how good can biological parents be if they gave birth to me but didn't raise me?"

"I think it's enough for me to have someone who loves me by my side. My life is already very good. I have no plans to recognize my relatives. It was Li Zhongyu who said that he didn't set a date with me because his parents didn't agree with him marrying an orphan. But if I recognize my relatives, I will be considered a lady from a wealthy family and can marry him openly."

"So, one dark night, Li Zhongyu took me to find my relatives. At that time, I didn't understand why he chose to go late at night instead of during the day."

"That was my first time meeting the Luo family couple, and it was also the first time I knew that even if I was recognized as a relative, I was still a person who could not be seen in public."

"Seeing them asking about my well-being, I just felt it was hypocritical. They gave birth to me and abandoned me, and now they want to smooth things over with just a few caring words. How can such an easy thing happen in this world?"

"I lived in the Luo family for a while, wearing silk and satin, eating sumptuous feasts, but I could only stay in the house and could not step out. I had to listen to the Luo family couple calling me Shan'er from time to time. I lived like a substitute."
