"Qingqing, you sleep first, I suddenly have an urgent matter and must leave!"
After saying this, he patted her shoulder and briskly walked out the door.
Xia Ruqing was left bewildered.
"Hey, hey!"
In the blink of an eye, the person had vanished from sight.
Xia Ruqing felt quite aggrieved!
"Left me alone again!"
She got up, stomped back into the room.
At night.
With no one by her side, Xia Ruqing couldn't fall asleep.
She kept tossing and turning, thinking about their conversation today for quite a while.
In her mind, she pondered.
'If Zhao Junqi is the Empress Dowager's child, then who is his birth father?'
'If he is the Late Emperor's, wouldn't Zhao Junqi become the legitimate eldest son?'
'So he mustn't be the Late Emperor's, but... Prince Yan's!'
'That would explain everything clearly!'
But then, who are Zhao Junyao's parents?
Presumably... he should be the child of the Late Emperor and another woman.
As for who that woman is, no one knows!
