Chapter 497: Chapter 488: Misunderstood

On hearing the name Shi Yi, not only did Rong Zhao feel infuriated, she also felt guilty. Shi Yi was the half-brother of the crown prince, who was now favored by the emperor as well as the crown prince. And Shi Yi turned out to be this woman's adopted son!

Time and time again, Rong Zhao had inwardly cursed the second prince for his indecisiveness and inability to assert himself. If he had simply killed the Ninth Prince or Shan Jieyu back then, the second prince wouldn't have had to flee to the Southern Province and rebel, and she wouldn't be in the predicament she was in now...
