She mistakenly got into the bridal sedan chair and married a sickly but powerful minister, becoming

As soon as the Northern Qi emperor uttered his words...

The main hall was completely silent.

Only the heavy breathing of the Northern Qi emperor could be heard, both muffled and oppressive.

The Imperial Tutor leaned back casually in his chair, his dark eyes fixed on the Emperor of Northern Qi. No matter how much the Emperor of Northern Qi tried to control his emotions, a trace of hostility still showed through his eyes.

After just one glance, the Imperial Tutor looked away: "I knew all along." Then he added, "This child cannot survive if left in Northern Qi."

This sentence was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, instantly causing an explosion.

"My offspring are no different from the dust on your sleeve in your eyes. How could you care about their lives?" The Emperor of Northern Qi said angrily, "I knew it. The Prince of Guangling is your and Yizhen's bastard child."

Faced with the accusations of the Northern Qi emperor, the imperial tutor fell silent.

This seemingly tacit response dealt a heavy blow to the Northern Qi emperor, who was unable to accept the reality for a time.

Even before that, he had already made up his mind.

Zhao Yi is the son of the Imperial Tutor.

But when the Imperial Tutor actually admitted it, he wished it were all a lie.

Anyone can betray him, but the Imperial Tutor cannot.

"Why don't you explain?" The Emperor of Northern Qi was extremely agitated, pressing his hands tightly against his throbbing and aching chest, his breathing rapid and labored. "Explain! Aren't you eloquent? I believe everything you say."

The Imperial Tutor watched him go mad indifferently, offering no response whatsoever.

The more the Imperial Tutor acted as if he didn't care what the Northern Qi Emperor thought, the more he drove the Northern Qi Emperor mad. But he lay on the bed, unable to move, and could only glare at the Imperial Tutor with eyes wide with fury.

"I will rule Northern Qi with you, grant you supreme power, and trust you implicitly." The Emperor of Northern Qi was overwhelmed by this blow, so enraged that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he demanded with a ferocious expression, "Why did you do this? Why did you betray me? If you had taken a fancy to Yi Zhen, you could have just told me, and I..."

"Your Majesty," the Imperial Tutor interrupted the Northern Qi Emperor, unwilling to hear the Emperor's last unpleasant words, and asked instead, "Does Your Majesty still remember when the late Emperor intended to depose you as Crown Prince and reprimanded you in the palace? At that time, you were in a bad mood and happened to meet Prince Xian at the palace gate. He invited you to a small gathering at the Hidden Flower Pavilion, and I drank those three cups of wine for you?"

Logically speaking, the Northern Qi emperor should have forgotten about something that happened so long ago.

But this matter cannot be forgotten, not only because the late emperor had the idea of ​​deposing the crown prince for the third time, but also because he truly realized that if he were to incur the slightest dissatisfaction from the late emperor again, no matter how powerful the imperial tutor was, he probably would not be able to keep his position as crown prince.

Therefore, he felt uneasy and had a lot of emotions that needed to be released. That's why he ignored the Emperor's tutor's objections and went to the Hidden Flower Pavilion with Prince Xian to admire the flowers.

But this flower is not that flower; the building is full of stunningly beautiful women, who are at their disposal to be picked.

The Prince of Xian has always been a carefree and irresponsible person, so why would he go to any respectable places?

But he had just committed a crime, how could he dare to seek pleasure? If someone saw him, they could report him to the late emperor, and he could forget about being the crown prince.

He was about to leave immediately.

The idle prince said this place was secluded and ordinary people couldn't get in, so he was sure no one would recognize him. If he just left like this, it would be too disrespectful; according to the rules of the martial arts world, he had to drink three cups of wine.

He was in a hurry to leave, and without saying a word, he picked up a wine cup, but the Imperial Tutor took it from him and drank three cups in his place.

The Imperial Tutor, who usually never drank alcohol, turned a deep red after just three cups of wine, and left dizzily.

Having recalled this, how could the Northern Qi emperor not understand that the wine from such a place could possibly be clean?

He initially thought the Imperial Tutor was simply unable to hold his liquor, but little did he know he had also been tainted by other filth.

That's probably why, by a twist of fate, Yi Zhen and the Imperial Tutor's marriage came about.
