The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

The memories suppressed by drugs attack the fragile Sima Ye.

Although there are no secrets in the palace, he has long known that he is not Empress Xian's biological son, but he has almost completely forgotten his biological mother, Concubine Cao.

Without memory, how can there be emotion?

Even when he found a portrait of his biological mother out of curiosity at the age of fourteen, he just felt strange about it.

The woman in the painting has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and luxurious makeup, but her eyes always reveal a hint of sadness.

“When was this painted?”

"In reply to the Second Prince, this was painted by the painters of the Imperial Academy when the Queen was canonized as a noble lady. The clothing in this painting is already the attire of a noble lady."

"She seemed very unhappy."

"Lady Cao is a reserved person. She doesn't like to talk much, and she doesn't like to laugh much. When I was painting for her, I almost never saw her laugh."

When he was fourteen, Sima Ye had some doubts. An eight-year-old child should have a lot of memories, but why could he not remember any memory before the age of eight, especially the part about his mother, which was almost blank.

During that period, he searched everywhere for everything related to his biological mother. Even though he was careful to hide from Consort Xian, he was still discovered.

That day, he was summoned by Imperial Noble Consort Xian, and Bai Feng and other members of the Bai family were also in the palace.

He was always afraid of Bai Feng for no reason. Even though Bai Feng always looked kind, he was always like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Bai Feng.

"Hui'er, I heard that you've been missing Concubine Cao a lot lately. Is this true?"

"Mother, I am just curious about where I came from and want to see what my biological mother looks like. I hope you don't think too much about it."

"Well, since you will know it sooner or later, I will tell you."

According to the description of Imperial Noble Consort Xian, Noble Lady Cao was originally a palace maid in the laundry department. Because she was born with a pretty and fair complexion and her appearance was quite conspicuous among the palace people, she was unexpectedly chosen by the emperor and was promoted from a court lady to a noble lady. However, the good times did not last long. Not long after she gave birth to Sima Ye and became a noble lady, Noble Lady Cao's health began to deteriorate.

"Before your biological mother died, she was still concerned about your future. When I went to visit her, she knew she didn't have much time left, so she held my hand on the sickbed and entrusted you to me."

According to Imperial Noble Consort Xian's description, although she and Concubine Cao had different status and completely different family backgrounds, they were good sisters in the palace who could communicate intimately.

"Over the years, I have always treated you as my own child, Hui'er, you should know this, right?"

"Yes, even if Imperial Noble Consort Xian is sometimes strict with you, it is only a minor punishment to teach you a lesson and let you fulfill your duties as her mother. I didn't expect it to make you feel resentful..." Bai Feng was very unhappy.

"No, I'm just curious..."

"No matter what the reason is, this will hurt your mother's heart."

As Bai Feng spoke, Imperial Noble Consort Xian turned her head away and wiped her tears.

Sima Ye did not lie, he was just out of curiosity and had no other intention, but he did not expect to cause such a big stir.

He made a promise and swore that he would never inquire about his biological mother again, and only then did he gain the forgiveness of Imperial Noble Consort Xian.

But what's wrong for a person to miss his biological mother?

He suppressed his curiosity about his mother, and even when he occasionally mentioned it, no palace servants around him dared to talk to him.

After all, the two old palace maids who had mentioned some words about Concubine Cao to Sima Ye had their tongues cut off.

Sima Ye never looked for information about his mother again.

He knew there was an invisible hand covering his eyes.

But so what?

Under the protection of Imperial Consort Xian and with the support of the Bai family, he is the most powerful prince in the court except for the Crown Prince.

And now, he has become the most powerful person in the entire Dasheng.

Sima Ye unfolded the scroll.

This was the "gift" he received on the night he ascended the throne.

A masked man in black was able to pass through the heavy guards of the palace, go straight into the bedroom, and give him the painting.

"This is your mother, Concubine Cao."

Sima Ye wanted to call for the guards, but the guards pressed his acupoints and he could not make a sound.

"I will not murder you. You can move, but you cannot make any sound."

Sima Ye stretched out his hand, and when the man in black handed the scroll over, he used the Black Bear's Heart-Ripping Move, and then the Pine Crane Spreads Wings Move, but the man dodged it very easily.

"You asked for it." The man in black was extremely agile and somehow managed to get behind Sima Ye. After pressing a few acupoints, Sima Ye's body became weak and he could not even stand.

The man in black picked him up, put him on a chair, and then pressed an acupoint. Sima Ye clearly felt his body becoming a little stiff, as if he was firmly stuck to the chair.

"Since you don't want to open it, I'll do it for you."

The visitor unfolded the scroll, and Sima Ye was startled.

The one on it is his mother, Concubine Cao.

This was the scroll that she had found with great difficulty when she was fourteen years old. It was because of the search for this painting that she alarmed Imperial Noble Consort Xian, which led to the "tongue-cutting disaster" of the two palace maids.

"Didn't this painting already get burned by Bai Feng?" Sima Ye was suspicious but couldn't utter a word.

The man in black seemed to understand his look.

"Consider this my gift to you for your accession to the throne. Don't worry about where it came from."

The man in black spoke as he rolled up the scroll again.

"You only know that Empress Xian is not your biological mother, but what you don't know is that Concubine Cao died because of you."

Sima Ye rolled his eyes and glared at the man in black.

Only a pair of eyes were revealed on the face of the man in black, and his voice was obviously false. Even if someone he was familiar with appeared like this, he would not be able to recognize him.

Seeing that Sima Ye was skeptical, the man in black reached out and untied his mute point.

"You can talk now."

"You mean, why did my biological mother die?"

Sima Ye knew that with the enemy's skills, even if he shouted, by the time the guards rushed in, his life would probably be gone.

So he didn't shout, but lowered his voice and asked about his mother's condition.

"Empress Xian was unable to have children, so in order to ensure the Bai family's influence in the court, Bai Feng set his sights on Concubine Cao."

According to the man in black, among the emperor's concubines, Noble Consort Xian has the most distinguished family background.

Although Concubine De was only a female doctor, she was the most favored by the emperor and had a high position. In addition, she was well versed in medicine, so it was not easy to harm her.

Sima Ye's biological mother, Concubine Cao, was of the lowest social class. After giving birth to Sima Ye, she suffered from a chronic cough that could not be cured and she lost the emperor's favor.

But her son, Sima Ye, was born with a handsome appearance. He could recognize a thousand words at the age of three. He was the most intelligent among all the princes and was deeply loved by the emperor and the empress dowager. So Imperial Noble Consort Xian came up with the idea of ​​"killing the mother and taking the son away".

"You mean, my biological mother was killed by the Queen Mother?"

Sima Ye had always been puzzled as to why the Bai family and the Queen were so afraid of him knowing everything about his biological mother. If it was true as the man in black said, many things that he had been unable to understand before seemed to be clear now.
