"I just found out that the Princess of Ping is the Empress's adopted daughter, but I would presume that many people, especially the people of the capital, long knew of this fact. As for the rest, neither the Prince of Xiang's line nor the Prince of Zhongshan's is related by blood to the Empress and she has no descendant of her own, and so these legends about her defying the heavens and changing fate started being spread around."
Chen Changsheng gazed at the beautiful rivers and mountains, calmly continuing, "But people have forgotten one very important matter. If that legend is true, then as long as Crown Prince Zhaoming is still alive, the Empress's changing of fate has not succeeded, or at the very least has not concluded."
Xu Yourong thought of the strange movements in the capital over these past few years and the case that the chief eunuch in the Imperial Palace had always been investigating in secret. Her graceful brows slightly creased as she said, "That doesn't make sense."
