Luo Shunchen snapped back to reality when she moved.
"Ruyan, what did you just say?"
Ji Ruyan looked at him with a tranquil gaze, "I said, you once asked the Duke of Huguo whether it was true that the Sixth Prince is the son of General Changsun Kang, the Heaven Praying Poison Master. Is it?"
"Of course, it's true. I've never told a single lie in front of you," he replied.
"How could Empress Gu have come to know General Changsun Kang?"
Ji Ruyan was completely puzzled. Could it really be so easy to muddy the royal bloodlines within the deep confines of the palace?
Luo Shunchen smiled faintly, "You must know that Empress Gu was not the Emperor's first empress but was elevated to the position later."
"I'm aware of that. The Crown Prince was not borne by Empress Gu, hence when the Crown Prince passed, not a single tear was shed by Empress Gu. Who knows, she might even be thinking of when it would be her own son's turn to ascend to the Dragon Throne," Ji Ruyan said with a sneer.
