"Queen..." Upon hearing the word, Si'er's face turned pale.
The Queen was Wang Yu's birth mother, an ever-solemn and rigid woman who never smiled. Years ago, after King Xiuyuan's family, the Yu Cangs, usurped the throne, he sought to legitimize his claim by marrying Si'er and Yi Ren's mother, a descendant of the former Wuliang rulers. This union produced the two sisters, but their mother did not live long, falling victim to the vicious power struggles of the Royal Palace. At the time, neither sister could have imagined the Queen would be so cruel. The horrors of the court were bone-chilling, and even now, the memory of the Queen's ruthlessness was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
"Little sister, I don't know what that woman will do," Yi Ren said, her expression grave. "In any case, we should sever our ties with Wu Tian for now."
Just as she finished speaking, a cold, sharp voice cut in.
"Yi Ren, who is this 'woman' you speak of?"
