Initially, Emperor Beichen didn't pay much attention to this matter after failing to investigate it. To him, the most important thing was Baili Hongzhuang as a person. Other things were not as significant.
Now, hearing Baili Hongzhuang bring it up, a hint of surprise couldn't help but rise in his heart. From her tone, he felt that this matter was far from simple.
"My wife, if you're willing to tell me, I'm naturally willing to listen. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't mind," Emperor Beichen said, his caring gaze fixed on Baili Hongzhuang. His warm and generous hand rested on her shoulder, silently giving her strength.
For some reason, seeing Baili Hongzhuang's serious expression and attitude, he felt a sense of worry. He rarely saw her reveal such a solemn expression and felt that she must have struggled before deciding to bring up this matter.
He didn't want to pressure Baili Hongzhuang in any way; he just wanted her to be happy.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's concerned appearance, Baili Hongzhuang also felt somewhat relieved. Since the conversation had reached this point, she had no intention of continuing to conceal the truth.
"Beichen, in fact, I am not the real Baili Hongzhuang."
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but pause for a moment, looking at Baili Hongzhuang in astonishment. For a moment, he doubted whether he had misheard or misunderstood.
"My wife, what do you mean?" Emperor Beichen couldn't comprehend Baili Hongzhuang's seemingly nonsensical statement.
Baili Hongzhuang was aware of Emperor Beichen's confusion and immediately continued to explain, "In the past, when the previous Baili Hongzhuang took her own life by swallowing gold, she had already died and completely disappeared from this world."
A tinge of sadness tinged Baili Hongzhuang's expression. If Lan Yunxiao and Mu Jinse knew that their real daughter had already perished, they would undoubtedly be in great pain.
After enduring such suffering, the previous Baili Hongzhuang had managed to survive, but she chose to end her life due to the abuse in the General's Manor.
In fact, she had no intention of telling anyone about this matter except Emperor Beichen. His shocked expression settled on Emperor Beichen's handsome face, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
He had also heard about the General's Manor's young miss taking her own life, but it was believed to be a result of not being able to bear the blow of Xuan Yuanhuan breaking off their engagement. At the time, it had become a subject of ridicule.
Most people believed that it was just a ploy by the General's Manor's young miss to win back Xuan Yuanhuan's heart. He had no idea that the situation had escalated to this extent.
"If the previous Baili Hongzhuang has already died, then who are you?" Emperor Beichen couldn't comprehend the situation. Was his wife impersonating the identity of Baili Hongzhuang?
If that were the case, how could his wife know Baili Hongzhuang so well?
It was all too strange!
Could it be... that his wife had planned this long ago?
But how could there be two people who looked exactly the same in the world?
Although he knew that his wife's disguise skills were exceptional, he also knew that the face of the current Baili Hongzhuang was not created through disguise.
So, what exactly was going on?
"I still have the body of Baili Hongzhuang, but my soul is not entirely hers," Baili Hongzhuang explained.
