The old emperor really did not take Yu Niaoniao seriously. At the same time, he really did not intend to spare her life.
He was prepared to end her life after asking for the whereabouts of the charred corpse.
After tonight, Yu Niaoniao would no longer exist in the world.
The old emperor only smiled gently at Yu Niaoniao's words. His gaze was as if he was looking at a lamb struggling on the verge of death.
"Very few people dare to talk to me like that. You're quite bold."
Yu Niaoniao said neither servile nor overbearing, "I hope Your Majesty will allow it."
The old emperor did not mind letting her talk a little longer before she died, so he said.
"Ask away."
Yu Niaoniao asked, "Does Your Majesty already know your true background?"
She asked the sharpest question as soon as she spoke.
The old emperor's smile quickly faded.
