The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 273 Continue to be silent
Ye Shu's bright eyes stared at the person in front of her, as if all the secrets were hidden from her.

Being looked at in such a straightforward manner, Emperor Dongli couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

I didn't expect that this girl was so determined that Aju wouldn't like him. It was heartbreaking.

"Royal brother, what secret happened between you that I don't know about?" Ye Shu continued to ask.

Emperor Dongli couldn't hide any longer. He touched his nose and blushed as if he had thought of something. "About this..."

"Actually, it's not like nothing happened between me and A-ru."

He intended to keep it a secret but he didn't expect that his sister's expression didn't change at all after hearing him say that.

Still standing there quietly, Emperor Dongli could no longer pretend. After all, the person in front of him was his sister, and there was nothing to hide about the past...

"Okay, I admit that there were some unexpected things that happened back then. That year, Aju and I went on a trip together. You know that."

"However, an accident occurred during this process. During the journey, we accidentally fell into a mountain stream. Fortunately, there was a cold pool in it so we didn't lose our lives."

"That is, the two of us accidentally inhaled aphrodisiac pollen, and in order to save ourselves, so..."

There is no need for Emperor Dongli to say more about what follows. Those who understand will understand.

But after that night, his relationship with Aju seemed to have returned to what it was before, as if this incident had never happened.

"It's not that I don't want to be a responsible person, but after this incident happened, there was a civil strife in the palace. I wanted to marry Aju after I ascended the throne, but I only drank one scoop from the three thousand weak waters."

"But unfortunately, after I expressed my feelings to Aju that night, I could no longer find her."

Speaking of this, Emperor Dongli looked painful.

But when he thought of the night when he and A'ju spent a night together in the warm hibiscus tent, he couldn't help but smile.

Compared to others, he was the winner after all.

But why is he still somewhat unwilling?

She didn't expect that such a thing would happen that year. What she didn't know was that Ye Shu also remained silent.

If my brother had really been with Aju, then it is not impossible that Aju would be pregnant with my brother's child.

Although the other party was unwilling to compromise, there was nothing she could do about the incident, and the baby in her belly was her own flesh and blood.

Given Aju's personality, she would not give up easily, but for some reason she still felt that this matter was weird.

"What about the time? Does Xier's age match the original time?"

"That's right. I've also had someone investigate this matter." Emperor Dongli nodded again.

Now, Ye Shu didn't know what to say. If everything matched, then it seemed that there was nothing to doubt about this matter.

After all, the circumstances were special back then, and it's pretty good that we can find so many clues now.

"In that case, I have no problem. You should have a good rest. I will think about this matter carefully when I get back."

Ye Shu left, and Emperor Dongli sat there in silence, lost in his memories again.

After leaving the palace, Ye Shu returned to the mansion and immediately asked her subordinates to prepare various gifts.

Soon she came to Bai Qianxi with these gifts.

"Xi'er, long time no see."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know so many things happened during this period of time. I just received the news today and rushed back. "As soon as they met, Ye Shu's attitude was somewhat cautious.

Bai Qianxi was also helpless. These people really treated her as a porcelain doll that would break at the slightest touch. In fact, she was not that fragile, okay?

Ye Shu could tell what she was thinking at a glance, but this did not affect her attitude.

"I brought you some things, all common things, take a look and see if you like them?"

"Also, you look much more haggard and thinner during this time we haven't seen each other."

"Is this still the you that I knew back then?" Ye Shu pulled Bai Qianxi, speaking in a caring tone.

"I really didn't expect that brat would have no fate with you, but even if we can't be together... being siblings is great, and we're also a family."

Unlike others, Ye Shu spoke openly about their relationship without any hesitation, which made Bai Qianxi a little silent.

She also wanted to comfort herself in this way.

But no matter how she hypnotized herself, she still felt a pain in her heart, and her face instantly became paler.

"You can't be like this." Ye Shu did not miss the change in her expression and held Bai Qianxi even tighter.

"In this world, love is the most difficult word to understand, but people always have to look forward, don't they? The power of time is the greatest, it can always wear away something without you noticing."

As she spoke, Ye Shu seemed to be lost in some memories.

"Well, let me tell you a story."

"There was once a pair of lovers. They were not childhood sweethearts, but they fell in love with each other when they met by chance. This seemed to be the fate bestowed upon them by God..."

"As they got to know each other, they gradually discovered that everything about each other satisfied their own preferences. They had the same likes and dislikes, and the same ideals."

"They were not great figures, but just part of the masses. They just didn't realize that at the time."

"When they were together, it seemed as if even the heavens had to make way for them. Their identities meant they were destined to not live a peaceful life, but that did not affect their feelings for each other..."

"But there are always unexpected events in this day and age, and when an accident happens, it is always so sudden and unexpected."

"No one knows why such a sudden change happened, but now that I think about it carefully, everything seems to have a traceable cause..."

Bai Qianxi just listened quietly.

She knew that the story the other person was telling was not just the story of an ordinary stranger.

Ye Shu continued, "That couple... they once made a promise to each other that they would never part with you until the mountains were gone and the sky and earth united."

When she said this, she suddenly laughed, and as she laughed, tears began to fall.

"How can people in this world really take heaven and earth as an oath? It is probably for punishment."

"The happy days didn't last long. Something unexpected happened. In order to give his beloved a chance to live, he gave up his own identity for her even though he knew he would die. He knew that sending her away would mean his own death."

"And she knew that he was doomed to die, but because of the responsibility she had, she had no choice but to let him go."

"She had thought about going to accompany him after everything was over. Even though the underworld would be lonely, it would always be more lively for two people than for one person."

"But unfortunately, he seemed to have seen her thoughts and left a letter early on. Every word in it contained his best wishes for her."
