The Empress Dowager took a few deep breaths and spoke softly. "There are indeed some things I have done wrong... but, considering I gave birth to you and raised you all these years, can you not forgive me?"
Zhao Junyao curled his lips in a cold sneer. "Mother, some things... cannot be forgiven!"
She can care about anyone, but not Prince Yan!
Even when Father Emperor was alive, idle rumors had already been spreading. Now that Father Emperor is in the Underworld, he cannot allow him to suffer such humiliation even in heaven! Therefore, he absolutely could not compromise!
