Prince Zhao's expression turned grim at these words. He had suspected this possibility from the start, but the Emperor had kept the news under wraps, leaving the public to believe that Si Tianque was a child of unknown parentage. To think the reality was exactly as he had conjectured.

Even if he had suffered from amnesia, a common man would never dare touch another man's wife.
