Li Yaozhi, who had just given birth, had not had time to feed her child's first milk, and she had to face the death of Xiao Mingzhu, the hostess of the same sister, and that painful feeling was still fresh in her memory when she told her son Xiao Rui.

Their master and servant had grown up together, Xiao Mingzhu was very good to Li Yaozhi, and during the seclusion in the mountains, the two who were both pregnant women depended on each other. The biological father of the child in the womb of the two is a pair of brothers, and if rounded up, the two children are like brothers. Li Yaozhi made an appointment with Xiao Mingzhu, and after the child was born, they recognized each other as their stepmother and godmother, and they would be siblings who loved each other for a lifetime.

And now, seeing that the righteous son who was regarded by Li Yaozhi as a parent and child had died in his mother's womb before he was born, and he didn't even look at the world, Li Yaozhi was so sad that he was about to go crazy.

What made her barely calm down was Xiao Mingzhu's deathbed instructions.

Xiao Mingzhu knew who was going to deal with her, although she was resentful in her heart, she didn't have any extra energy to focus on hatred at this time. She is more concerned about the people who survive. She instructed Li Yaozhi to take good care of the child, because this child also has to call her mother, which is no different from her own child. She hopes that this child can live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life, and it is best to enjoy the happiness of her dead child, and don't ruin her life because of revenge and other things.

She distributed her private property to those who were killed or injured by the attack, and most of the remaining part was given to Li Yaozhi to raise her children. She also mentioned her best friend Yue Yunsheng, who has always been good. Yue Yunsheng was her best friend in life, and she also knew about her personal affair with the King of Chu, although she didn't approve of it, she still kept it a secret for her. When rumors about her spread in Beijing, Yue Yunsheng also defended her in front of people many times, even if she was excluded and ridiculed because of this, she did not hesitate. However, the Yue family's relatives were on the wrong side in the previous battle for the prince's succession, and now they are about to be liquidated. Yue Yunsheng's family did not participate in those things, but they were inevitably implicated by their relatives. Xiao Mingzhu instructed Li Yaozhi to intercede with the King of Chu, who had become the prince, and begged him to let go of his girlfriend's family. If it is inconvenient for the Yue family to stay in the capital any longer, then it is okay to ask King Yan to take them to Beiping.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't stop telling Li Yaozhi a lot of words until the moment he took his last breath. In order to fulfill her last wish, Li Yaozhi held back her grief and calmed down to deal with the aftermath. But her resentment towards the Cao family and the Cao family is getting deeper and deeper, and it is unforgettable. Even if she didn't take action for the sake of Xiao Mingzhu's last wish, she never gave up revenge.

Because the maid who was waiting by Xiao Mingzhu's side at that time was almost dead, Li Yaozhi had an idea, planning to treat Xiao Rui's son as Xiao Mingzhu's birth and report it to the King of Chu to know, so that he would think that his eldest son was still alive. Because the dead are no longer useful, the king of Chu, who relied on the Cao family to seize the throne, may not risk offending his wife and the Yue family for the sake of the dead, but if there is still a son here, it can add some weight and let him deal with the Cao family for this child. The two children are cousins, and they still look a little similar, so they should be able to fool the past. When the Cao family and the Cao family are dead, Li Yaozhi will tell the truth again, presumably the king of Chu will not be unfavorable to his younger brother's flesh and blood.

At that time, there was no one else on the mountain to discuss with Li Yaozhi, so she made a plan in such a daze.

However, after the news of the attack on the other courtyard spread, the first person to climb the mountain to visit was not the King of Chu she was waiting for, nor the main family Xiao Mingde, but King Yan, who had just returned to the capital and was rewarded for his military merits.

King Yan was also shocked and sad when he learned the news that Xiao Mingzhu had been attacked and died in childbirth. He couldn't forgive the Cao family, but for the sake of his brother's great cause, he just endured it for the time being. At this time, the first emperor had just died, and the king of Chu had just ascended the throne, and it was impossible for him to go out of the city to see off his lover no matter what.

King Yan did not forget his promise, and planned to take Li Yaozhi and the child away, no matter what, he couldn't let them be hurt by the Cao family again.

But Li Yaozhi, who had made up his mind, told him that he was frightened and had a miscarriage, and he was overly sad, the child was gone, and he was injured, and it was impossible to have children in the future. She is just a waste now, and her health is not good, and when she goes to Yanwang's Mansion, she is just a burden, it is better to stay in the capital, take care of the child left by the hostess, and protect him from the persecution of the Cao family.

King Yan was not obsessed with Li Yaozhi, persuaded her a few times, and when he saw that she was unwilling, he gave up, and just helped deal with the aftermath of Xiao Mingzhu and others. But for the safety of Li Yaozhi and the children, he still personally led someone to escort them back to the Zhuguo General's Mansion. At the same time, he also took all the wishes left by Xiao Mingzhu, thinking that there was no need for his brother to worry about it.

Subsequently, it was the Cao family who was canonized as the queen, and proposed to match the marriage of the little uncle Yan Wang and Cao Shuqing. King Yan refused the marriage with the scandal between Cao Shuqing and Fang Wenshan, and then proposed to marry Yue Yunsheng as his wife, bringing the Yue family out of the quagmire of the capital.

Li Yaozhi, who returned to the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom, was vetoed by Xiao Mingde, who had just inherited the family business, and the plan of revenge was rejected. The new monarch has just ascended the throne, and he still needs the Cao family to help suppress those opposing forces, and now is not the time to make a move against Empress Cao. Although he was sad about the death of his sister in his heart, he also suffered the pain of losing his father at the same time, and he was busy integrating the family business, taking over the power of the Praetorian Guard, and assisting the new monarch, so he really had no extra energy to take care of anything else. He learned that Li Yaozhi had deceived King Yan and refused to leave with the latter, so he simply said hello to King Yan, pretending that Li Yaozhi was his concubine and recorded the child Xiao Rui in his name.

King Yan thought that this was an arrangement that his brother did not want to startle the snake, so he ordered it in order to protect the child.

Xiao Mingde's wife, Lu Shi, didn't know anything about the truth, and thought that Xiao Rui was actually the seed born of her sister-in-law Xiao Mingzhu who was insulted by gangsters in the suburbs. Since Xiao Mingzhu died of dystocia, he can only report to the outside world that he died of illness. As an elder brother, she couldn't bear to watch her sister's flesh and blood suffer, so she took it back as a concubine to support, she can understand. She also knew that Li Yaozhi was actually not Xiao Mingde's concubine, and the two had no selfish relationship, only when Li Yaozhi sacrificed her happiness and pretended to be the child's biological mother in order to take care of the old master's parents. Therefore, the Lu family did not feel much embarrassed about Li Yaozhi, the nominal concubine, and admired her loyalty, but they didn't look down on Xiao Rui, and only felt that he was a stain on the Xiao family.

In this way, Xiao Rui, as Xiao Mingde's concubine, grew up in the Zhuguo General's Mansion. Out of loyalty to the emperor, Xiao Mingde always opposed Li Yaozhi's plan, and the emperor always thought that Li Yaozhi was really his concubine and really gave birth to a son for him. King Yan thought that Xiao Rui was the emperor's son, and in his eyes, he was his own nephew, naturally kind and kind.

Li Yaozhi saw that Xiao Mingde concealed the truth, and only let the emperor know that Xiao Mingzhu was killed by the Cao family, but he never took any action, but instead included the second lady Xiao Mingyu in the palace and sealed the concubine, enjoying everything that should have been enjoyed by Xiao Mingzhu, the resentment in his heart was getting deeper and deeper year by year, and he also despised Xiao Mingde.

Until this year, the emperor planned to pass on the three princes born to Xiao Mingyu to King Yan as his heir, King Yan wondered why the emperor forgot the "son" left by Xiao Mingzhu, Xiao Mingde was afraid that the truth that his concealment had caused the son of King Yan to be wronged for many years would anger the royal family, and Li Yaozhi could no longer bear the fact that the child's marriage and future were controlled by Xiao Mingde and his wife.

This secret was finally exposed yesterday when King Yan entered the palace to face the saint.
