"How dare you..." Emperor Yongning stood up, pointing at Marquis Zhongyong's nose and angrily scolded, "The princess is not my biological child, is she yours?"
If the princess were Marquis Zhongyong's biological child, it would indeed be a crime punishable by death of the entire clan!
Marquis Zhongyong was terrified and drenched in sweat, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
He explained, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that when the princess was born, no one knew, and everyone even thought she was dead. How can someone supposedly dead suddenly come back to life? Could it be that people with malicious intent are impersonating her?"
This possibility indeed exists.
Otherwise, how could a child have lived so well for so long, from the time Qiong Hua was sent to the Cold Palace until now, without anyone discovering it?
The ministers whispered amongst themselves.
