“Ke, ke.”  She cleared her throat and looked at Ning Wei Han as she said, “Your highness is confusing things…..shouldn’t it be that I saved you?”

“I saved you first you fool!”  He took her hand again and walked out of the palace, saying while walking, “I’m taking you to a place.”

Luo Qing Chen didn’t know where he was bringing her, she just knew that his hand was very warm.

She never would have thought that the place he brought her would be a mass grave.

“Who are you here to see……”  She knit her brows.  There was a vague answer in her heart, but it seemed unbelievable.

“My mother.”  He softly replied.  There were no waves in his tone, but he tightened his grip around her hand.

There were countless questions in her heart, but she didn’t ask anything as she followed him into the innermost part of the mass grave.

She had never come here before because it was quite deep, so she normally didn’t come here.

But seeing it today, it seemed quite clean.

Passing the fences, he said in a soft voice, “My mother was a consort from the previous dynasty……”

“Ha?   Could it be……”  She lowered her voice and said “Could it be you’re not the emperor’s son?”

“If I wasn’t, wouldn’t you lose the right to become a phoenix?”  He gave a soft laugh with a trace of sadness in his voice.

She gave a shrug and said, “If I said that I don’t care at all, would you believe it?”

“I would.”  He nodded with a firm look in his eyes, “Since I brought you here, it means I believe whatever you say.”

His voice was very soft and there was a faint trace of loneliness on his face, like he had been alone for a long time.

“Puchi!”  She held his hand like she was making an oath, “Be assured that I won’t tell anyone else about this!”

[Ding, affection has increased by ten.  Mission completion rate is now 40%.]

“This matter?”  He was a bit stunned before he said with a helpless smile, “I am his son, his biological son.”

Luo Qing Chen was stunned!  God, the chaotic love between the previous and current dynasties!

“Un…..What to say!”  Ning Wei Han carefully took her hand, as he was afraid the sharp thorns would pierce her skin.

Seeing her looking at him, he narrowed his eyes and said, “To be honest, compared to the previous dynasty, I like the present more.”

After that, Ning Wei Han told her everything about his mother.

His mother was consort Yun that the previous emperor had thrown into a side palace.  Although she was a concubine consort, she had never received any favour from the emperor.

The current emperor who had been a great general in the north saw the consort Yun when he came to the palace and fell in love with her at first sight.

The previous emperor was incompetent and many people complained about him, so the previous dynasty collapsed.

In the end, great general Ning Yuan decided to rebel!

The moment he made this decision, it was all for consort Yun.

Because consort Yun in the side palace was given a cruel punishment of being trampled by a thousand pounds.

A thousand maids and a thousand eunuchs would step on her until she died.

Ning Yuan couldn’t understand why an aloof person would want to hurt her.  On the day of the execution, he led a hundred thousand troops into the royal palace.

The people of the palace fell into a panic and no one remembered consort Yun’s punishment.

In the end…..she survived.

Ning Yuan ascended to the throne because everyone thought it was the will of the heavens since he hadn’t been defeated in ten years, winning the throne without losing a single soldier.

The day he took the throne, he ignored the opposition of the ministers and married consort Yun.

Later she gave birth to a prince who was the crown prince, who is the current Ning Wei Han.
