In order not to let him hear gossip when he grew up, she became a villain for the first time. She silenced all the imperial physicians and palace maids involved in the delivery.

However, at that time, the situation was critical. Many people knew that she had gotten someone to prepare medicine. It was impossible for her to kill everyone, so she could only send them to a remote palace.

She really did not want that child to be hurt at all. However, it was her actions that made her unable to prove her innocence.

“Mother, we all believe you,” Shangguan Han said seriously.

She had spent so much effort to protect a child who was not related to her by blood, but in the end, she was misunderstood and inadvertently harmed her family. He knew she must be devastated.

Song Li forced a smile. “Which woman in the palace doesn’t want to give birth to an heir for the emperor? A mother rises because of her son. I didn’t understand why Concubine Li did that until Ah Chen told me that she was the princess of the Wu Kingdom.”

She was the princess of a country. She had her own pride, but the emperor forced her. To her, that child was undoubtedly her shame and an evil creature.

How could she allow this stain to exist in this world?

Shen Yijia said, “But I think she’s so stupid. If I were her, I would give birth to the child. When he grows up, I’ll let him seize the throne of the useless emperor and lead the army back to the Wu Kingdom.”

This way, wouldn’t she be able to avenge herself and her family?

Song Li paused and was completely led astray by her words. She thought for a moment and said, “Jiajia makes sense.”

Right, right.

Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen and shook her head proudly.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

“There’s probably another reason why she did that. She already has someone in her heart.”

Not everyone was as self-aware as his wife.

However, it did not matter what Nangong Xia was thinking at that time. Whether she regretted it or not was destined to not have an answer. “Aunt, are there really no more insiders back then?”

Song Jingchen knew that Song Li was the one who suffered the most when Shangguan Yu’s matter was exposed. He shouldn’t have mentioned it at this time, but..

Song Li acutely sensed something and asked with a frown, “What happened?”

Shen Yijia knew about this question. She interrupted, “On the fifth day after Shangguan Yu left the capital, the young emperor of the Wu Kingdom issued an edict for the late emperor of the Wu Kingdom regarding the rebellion at Muling Pass. He said that he had already found the bloodline of the previous dynasty’s princess and wrote an edict to abdicate. As soon as Shangguan Yu returns to the Wu Kingdom, he can naturally sit in that position.”

Song Li was stunned and looked at Song Jingchen. “Ah Chen, are you worried that he’ll start a war and send troops to attack Great Nia?”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and didn’t hide it. “Our spies in the Wu Kingdom sent back news that the Wu Kingdom didn’t hide Shangguan Yu’s identity. They even spread the news that their princess was killed by someone in Great Xia’s harem.’

As soon as this news spread, the citizens of the Wu Kingdom were furious and asked Great Xia to give them an explanation.

Everyone knew what the Yan family was doing.

Especially since this involved the death of a princess. It was a personal grudge between the Wu Kingdom and Great Xia. As long as the Wu Kingdom agreed to give the Xuanyuan Kingdom enough benefits, the Xuanyuan Kingdom would not interfere too much.

Song Jingchen should have expected this.

The ambition of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets was definitely not as simple as assisting the emperor of the Wu Kingdom.

What they wanted was to be like the previous dynasty and make everyone in the world worship them as gods.

Moreover, if it was just the Wu Kingdom, there was no need for them to plan for so long in Great Xia.

Shangguan Yu was the person they had chosen and was the key to everything. If they could explain the misunderstanding back then, they might be able to stop all of this from happening.

What Song Jingchen didn’t say was that what he was most worried about now was that someone would take the opportunity to incite the citizens of Great Xia.

They all knew that the Wu Kingdom was only looking for a reason to start a war, but Song Li would definitely become a sinner in the eyes of the commoners. The commoners might feel that as long as they handed over the culprit, they could avoid this war.

Similarly, it was impossible for them to really hand over their aunt.

However, in that case, it would definitely cause public resentment to boil. Perhaps Great Xia would fall into chaos before the Wu Kingdom attacked.

That was the most terrifying thing.

If the hearts of the people were not united, how could they defeat the enemy?

Song Li tightened his grip on the blanket and closed his eyes. “Back then, I thought that I couldn’t let that child live in the shadow of being abandoned by his biological mother.”

But now, there was nothing left.

“Ah Chen, it’s me. I harmed Father and Big Brother. I’m a sinner of the Song family. If it really comes to that, hand me over,” Song Li said with a trembling voice..
