He was hacked to death! Reborn and married to the Grand Secretary, his family wept with regret.

When the Emperor heard An Wuyang mention the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, a hint of gloom flashed across his face.

"Elder sister, do you still have feelings for that Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

The emperor had a hidden worry.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Now that I have decided to leave the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, I have given up all thoughts of that place."

“That Li Huai-ren is no good man, and besides, I am already engaged, so I should not continue to have such wild thoughts.”

An Wuyang had already made her point clear, and in order to dispel the Emperor's concerns, she went on to tell the truth: "Moreover, I vaguely know that my child was switched on the day of my birth, and the child named Li En may not be my biological son."

"It's just that the conditions were rudimentary at the time of the birth, and too much time has passed. The midwife who delivered the baby has disappeared, and I have nowhere to look for her. That's why I didn't go all the way against the Marquis of Zhongyong's family."

Hearing the dejection in An Wuyang's words, the younger brother's expression turned solemn: "This matter is of great importance. Your child, elder sister, should have been granted the title of a prince. Since there is a problem with the child's bloodline, elder sister, please trust me, I will definitely find a way to find out the truth."

"Furthermore, as for the matter between my elder sister and Li Huai Ren, as long as my elder sister knows the truth, it is not appropriate for me, as her younger brother, to say more. I would like to offer my elder sister a word of advice: Lord Yan Juzhi may be a good person after all."

When Yan Juzhi was mentioned, An Wuyang was momentarily dazed, but was quickly brought back to his senses by the Emperor's words.

"But no matter what, Your Majesty must remember that your younger brother has grown up and become an emperor who can stand on his own. From now on, no one in this world can bully you anymore."

An Wuyang nodded gently, knowing full well the Emperor's brother's good intentions.

But thinking back to my past life, with Luo Xiang holding absolute power and the Python King's rebellious faction making a comeback, all of this was incredibly dangerous.

Each and every one of these matters was like a mountain pressing down on the emperor's younger brother.

He was just a young boy who had only recently come of age, so how did he manage to withstand that pressure?

"I believe you, my elder sister."

An Wuyang spoke softly, turned her back to the Emperor, and wiped her eyes.

She made up her mind that she could not get bogged down in those trivial matters. As the eldest sister, she had to be strong and do her part for her younger brother.

Just as the siblings were enjoying their time together, someone came to report from outside.

"Your Majesty, several young ladies outside request an audience."

The emperor's face immediately darkened, and his expression even turned cold.

"You blind lackey, can't you see I'm busy?"

"Since when has the Imperial Study become a place where just anyone can come and go as they please?"

"What girls? I have no interest in seeing them. Tell them to leave!"

The emperor spoke sternly, clearly displeased with the eunuch's actions.

The eunuch, however, showed no emotion on his face, and even his tone remained as calm as before: "Your Majesty, it is Miss Luo Xiangwan and Luo Meier from the Luo family who have arrived, along with Princess Fenghua."

Princess Fenghua?

When An Wuyang thought of the relationship between Princess Fenghua and Yan Juzhi, his eyes involuntarily darkened for a moment.

The Emperor happened to see An Wuyang's expression, sighed, and then forcefully waved his hand: "No matter who comes, it won't work!"

"Let them go back!"

The Emperor's tone was filled with impatience.

The eunuch responded, but did not move his feet.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Fenghua requests an audience! Your Majesty, you can't ignore Fenghua!"

A charming voice called out, its tone filled with arrogance.

“Your Majesty, I have important matters to report today. If Your Majesty does not see me, I will kneel outside the Imperial Study for a long time.”

"Also, everyone knows that Sister Xiang Wan is your future empress. Today, Feng Hua will drag Sister Xiang Wan down to kneel down with you and see if you know how much it hurts."

A hint of mockery flashed across the Emperor's face as he turned away, pretending not to hear what was being said outside.

The eunuch who had just delivered the message had a solemn expression.

It seems that An Wuyang's guess was correct. Although she sowed discord between Empress Dowager Luo and Prime Minister Luo, Empress Dowager Luo's influence, built up over many years, still remained, and the Emperor's younger brother's life in the palace was not easy.

"emperor……"

Just as An Wuyang was about to offer some words of comfort, he saw that the Emperor had already raised his head, feigning ease on his face.

"Princess Anning, please have lunch at the palace today."

"I used to eat my favorite dish, lotus leaf chicken. The new dish I ordered the Imperial Kitchen to develop yesterday is actually quite similar to the one I ate when I was a child."

The Emperor's words deliberately concealed An Wuyang's true identity, conveying to An Wuyang the message that there was a spy in the house.

An Wuyang glanced at the eunuch who had just entered and noticed that his eyes were indeed different from those of ordinary eunuchs.

Sharp as an eagle, like a trained fighter.

The emperor has only just come of age, his face still showing signs of immaturity, but there is already a hint of worry between his brows.

An Wuyang quickly agreed: "Okay!"

Just then, the eunuch standing to the side spoke again: "Your Majesty, if the Empress Dowager finds out that you are ignoring Miss Luo and instead dining with Princess Anning, she may be displeased."

When did a mere eunuch dare to threaten the emperor?

An Wuyang immediately bristled like a rooster, his face contorted with ruthlessness.

But then she saw the Emperor subtly tug at An Wuyang's sleeve and shake his head at her almost imperceptibly.

"Let them in!"
