Although her identity was that of Nan Zhao Su Yan's real mother, she wasn't Nan Zhao Su Yan, and if it meant harming Chu Yuxiao, she wouldn't be lenient with anyone.
She had thought the Empress wouldn't say anything more, yet unexpectedly, the Empress had Su Yan stay for a meal at Yihe Palace.
While eating, the Empress casually served him food and said,
"Little Shiqi, do you know? The Chu family once had a hereditary disease, it's said to be quite strange."
Su Yan abruptly stopped his eating motions and asked in surprise, "What disease?"
How had he never heard of this before?
A flicker of annoyance passed through the Empress's eyes, as she put on a kind smile and said,
"Look at me, I can't seem to keep my mouth shut. However, there's no harm in telling you, but don't mention it in front of Marquis Chu, otherwise, he'll get angry."
"Okay." Su Yan nodded obediently, his eyes innocent, looking just like a child unaware of the ways of the world.
