Shangguan Qing nervously looked at Princess Xinyang, as if waiting for her verdict.
Upon hearing this, Princess Xinyang's emotions calmed down.
She looked at Shangguan Qing and said bitterly, "Actually, even if she hadn't 'taken' the antidote, you wouldn't have survived. The former emperor was wary of your father, and my marriage to him was merely a political bargaining chip. My Dragon Shadow Guard was always ready to kill him, and to prevent me from softening due to offspring, the Dragon Shadow Guard... would kill me and his child. If they failed once, they would try a second time, until... I completely lost you."
"I have also deeply hurt Ahen. You two are both innocent. If I must blame someone, first, I'd blame my father, then I'd blame being born into the Royal Family, and lastly, I'd blame myself... for not protecting you."
It's not you, but you all.
To her two sons, she felt deep guilt.
