Chapter 640: Secret
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“At that time, when I discovered this secret, I was almost scared out of my wits. 1 felt uneasy all day long and was on the verge of going crazy for a long time. 1 was afraid that my son would be secretly swapped by her. In this world, what women find the most unacceptable is that their children have been swapped without them knowing about it.”
Xian Fei’s eyes were filled with pain. She looked at Liu Sanniang and tears flowed down her cheeks silently.
“She’s already the empress. Why did she do this? At first, 1 couldn’t figure it out, but later, 1 knew that she wanted to do something very big. This big thing concerns the fate of the Dynasty. From what 1 can find out, there’s a divine emperor above the empress. This divine emperor has never shown his face. If the Dynasty falls, the important people will definitely be displaced. 1 won’t allow the empress to do this.”
“I have a son, and the empress also has a son. Her son is already the crown prince, but she doesn’t care about the people. 1 know that only by completely overthrowing her can the Dynasty be peaceful. All these years, Hongming has been smart and has never disappointed me. The empress finally made a move on my son because she felt threatened by him.”
Xian Fei wiped her tears. “I’ve been wary of the empress for many years, so every time my son and 1 meet, we will exchange code signals. Half a month ago, he entered the palace to pay his respects to me but the secret signal didn’t match. Even if he looks exactly the same, he’s a fake.”
“He can imitate Hongming, but he doesn’t know that there is a secret signal between me and my son. 1 almost went crazy, but 1 held it in because 1 still have to find my son. Whether he lives or dies, 1 want him back. No one can replace him.”
Xian Fei’s eyes were firm. She was already prepared to tell Liu Sanniang this secret honestly so that Liu Sanniang could believe her and save her son.
…..
Xian Fei looked at Liu Sanniang and waited for her to digest this shocking secret before replying.
Liu Sanniang was indeed shocked. She had dealt with identity-swapping cases several times, and the biggest one was the daughter of the prime minister, Ying Furong.
She had never thought that the organization behind this was controlled by the empress.
Who was the divine emperor behind the empress?
The empress had no choice but to make a move on Xia 1 longming because he was already threatening the crown prince. If she didn’t make a move now, Xia Hongming might actually replace the crown prince.
Liu Sanniang said to Xian Fei, “Your Highness, do you know about the death of Ying Furong, the daughter of Prime Minister Ying?”
Xian Fei nodded. “1 know. Ying Furong has long been swapped. It’s precisely because I know about it that 1 wanted to see you. If there’s anyone in this world who can save my son, it is you, Miss Liu.”
Xian Fei continued with a sad expression. “Hongming knew long ago that one day, this could happen, so he was also prepared. However, whether he can escape from the tiger’s mouth or not depends on fate. If he’s alive, no matter what, 1 have to find him. If he’s dead, he has to be properly buried. 1 won’t let something replace him.”
Other than her son, no one else could take the position of the Third Prince.
“The Third Prince is still alive, but he was attacked by the black aura. He’s in danger.”
Liu Sanniang could see that Xia Hongming was still alive, but fatal danger was drawing nearer.
Xian Fei’s lips trembled. She could not hide her excitement. “God bless! Miss Liu, please help me!”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “I’ll do my best.”
She would surely try her best to find Xia Hongming. His situation was a man-made disaster, not a natural catastrophe.
Xian Fei was very grateful. Such a secret had been pressing down on her for many years like a huge rock.
Finally, she could breathe a little easier.
With such a secret in her heart, Xian Fei was always worried and afraid. Now, because it was in a dream, she did not have to worry about being eavesdropped and she could tell Liu Sanniang everything.
“Actually, at first, I was very suspicious. How could the empress dare to swap people? But later, I knew that she did because she even dared to swap her own daughter.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xian Fei intently.
Xian Fei nodded. “You’re right. Xia Qiluo was swapped. When Xia Qiluo was very young, she once fell into the pond and was sick. After recovering, she became a disciple of the Cloud Breaking Sect. In fact 1 suspect that even the empress has been swapped long ago.”
If she hadn’t been interchanged, how could she be so heartless as to swap her own daughter?
When Xian Fei realized that the empress in the palace was no longer the real empress, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Xian Fei could not believe it. Even the empress had been swapped. What about the emperor?
Now, she was just pretending to be crazy to make people ignore her. This was the safest way for now.
Her son was not back yet. She would not let anything happen to her.
Xian Fei woke up from her dream and looked at the familiar bedroom. She hugged the pillow in her arms and smiled.
The sky gradually brightened. Xian Fei threw away the pillow and started to shout crazily. “Who took my son away? Where’s my son? Why am 1 hugging a pillow? Where’s my son? Where’s the emperor? I want to see him…”
The palace servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Xian Fei would occasionally wake up and make a fuss to look for her son. Xia Hongming had grown up, but Xian Fei insisted that Xia Hongming was still a child…
The palace servants could not find the child whom Xian Fei was looking for.
Xian Fei was angry and shouted that she wanted to see the emperor. She cried. “You heartless man! My son has been stolen.. Why aren’t you helping me find my son?”
