Chapter 278: Another of the Empress’s secrets.
Mei Mei gulped some wine. She wondered where those scandal parrots where when they were needed. This was the time to scream those words out loud.
"Uncle." Junjie cleared up for her. "He is her uncle."
"Did you confront her?" She asked.
Junjie did not reply immediately as he thought back on those days. He did think about confronting her and he had marked it on his calendar but he found avoiding her a much easier solution. She had also played the role of the perfect wife after terminating her first pregnancy. For a while there, he convinced himself that he could look past her mistakes as long as they were not repeated.
"I am guessing you did not because if you had, she would not be as arrogant as she was." Mei Mei said, answering her own question.
She also thought to herself that this secret which Junjie kept to himself had probably reached the ears of the Empress Mother and that was why she was determined to kill off the Empress. If she could get pregnant for another man and try to pass it off as a royal child once, what was to stop her from doing it again?
And if she did it with a male child!!!!
Mei Mei added more wine to her glass and sipped it quickly. Talk about confusing royal blood! If that child became emperor, wouldn’t the Long emperor end in secrecy?
Was that the plan of the Hui’s all along? Is that why they had been positioning themselves in positions of power all along? Mei Mei’s eyes widened.
"If I had Long Shuang would not exist." Jingzhe said.
The wine glass in Mei Mei’s hand shattered. A piece cut her and blood dripped from her hand but she did not feel the pain or notice. Her mind was still reeling from what she had just heard.
She stood up and slammed her hands on the table. "What the fuck Junjie. Are you telling me that Long Shuang is not your daughter!"
