Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Forcefully Matched, Making Him Marry

Lin Caisang: "..."

Brother Molian, can you please just speak without dragging me into it?

Alright, indeed, she too was quite curious to know what Princess Consort Yi could possibly know that compelled the Emperor to go to such lengths, wanting to kill Princess Consort Yi.

Moreover, everything was done so covertly, yet it seemed so publicly justifiable.

To outsiders, even if Princess Consort Yi were to die, it would appear as though she died of illness, unrelated to anyone else.

But for those in Prince Yi’s Mansion, Prince Yi knew all too well in his heart that his consort was sentenced to death by the Emperor, who not only ordered the execution of Princess Consort Yi but also threatened Prince Yi!

She was truly curious about this matter. What could Princess Consort Yi possibly know?

"Actually, I am not originally from Wei State," Princess Consort Yi said in a faint voice.

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

That was something she didn’t need to think about or guess; it was unnecessary to say, wasn’t it?

"Please continue, Your Highness."

"I am from the Illusion Continent," Princess Consort Yi said, glancing at Sui Zimo.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang glanced sideways, exchanging a look with Sui Zimo.

She would never have thought that Princess Consort Yi actually hailed from the Illusion Continent, no wonder Brother Molian couldn’t find any information about her past identity.

"Though I say I come from the Illusion Continent, I do not actually know much about it," Princess Consort Yi spoke again.

"Many of us sisters were servants, bred and kept in one place by our master, never having set foot in other parts of the Illusion Continent, until one day, the master ordered someone to bring me to him and assigned me a mission."

"What mission?"

Sui Zimo asked.

"It was to deliver a child, soon after birth, to the Emperor of Wei State," she said.

As she spoke, she glanced at Sui Zimo again.

"A child?"

Lin Caisang exchanged another look with Sui Zimo.

The answer seemed almost ready to surface, didn’t it? These people were bold, indeed, daring to send a child from the Illusion Continent to be raised in Wei State.

And as for the Emperor of Wei State, his daring was no less impressive; he actually dared to raise the child!

"Since you have already delivered the person, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you have returned to the Illusion Continent?" she asked Princess Consort Yi.

Moreover, how could this woman, who had come on a mission, possibly stay behind, and even become Princess Consort Yi? Especially since she became wedded to Prince Yi on the very day she had delivered the child to the palace.

"This..."

Princess Consort Yi looked toward Prince Yi with a somewhat troubled expression.

"Let me explain this matter," Prince Yi took over the conversation.

"Originally, I was betrothed to a woman from the Nie Family, but because I was always inconsequential, the Nie Family scorned my status and did not wish to marry their daughter into Prince Yi’s Mansion."

He remembered hating the Nie Family, for scorning him as a prince without power or influence, and even sending the woman who was engaged to him into the palace to become one of the Emperor’s consorts.

Then, they pushed the current Princess Consort Yi at him, rushing him to get married.

But he had always been resigned to his lot, knowing that opposing the Emperor’s actions was futile.

However, over the years, living with the Princess Consort, they developed feelings for each other. Living their lives together turned out to be quite pleasant, so he stopped dwelling on past grievances.

"She was pushed into Prince Yi’s Mansion by the Emperor, you could say she was practically thrown bound and tied into my chambers. Perhaps the Emperor thought that keeping the child close to him was not very safe."
