As soon as Liu E passed away, Concubine Yang was eager to tell him about Zhao Zhen’s biological mother. If Li Zhang knew about this, he would probably secretly call Concubine Yang too indifferent. After all, Liu E treated her like a sister during her lifetime, but in the end, this woman was the first to betray Liu E.

"Li Shunrong... is really my biological mother?" Zhao Zhen asked Concubine Yang in disbelief again. Among his father's many concubines, Li Shunrong was not prominent. If Li Zhang had not taken him to see Li Shunrong, and later Li Zhang was under house arrest for treating Li Shunrong, he might not have any impression of Li Shunrong at all.

"Li Shunrong is indeed your biological mother. She was originally a maid next to the Empress Dowager. At that time, the Empress Dowager wanted to take the position of Empress, but was opposed by the ministers. At that time, your father had no children. If she could give birth to a son, it would be useless for the ministers to object. So she asked Li Shunrong to sleep, and then she was pregnant and gave birth to her child. This child was you." Concubine Yang sighed immediately.

As Liu E's best sister, Concubine Yang knew this very well. Even at that time, Liu E specially tied a mat on her stomach to cover up her eyes, which deceived many people's eyes, but later some rumors still came out.

"Why... why is this happening?" Zhao Zhen sat down on the chair with a shock at this time and said to himself. He had almost thought of the concubines left by his father before. Among them, he felt that the person who had the most hope was that his mother was Concubine Yang. After all, Concubine Yang was his adoptive mother and was closest to him. However, he never expected that his biological mother was the inconspicuous Li Shunrong.

After a while, Zhao Zhen recovered from his shock and then asked again: "Since Li Shunrong is my biological mother, why have I never seen her have any closeness to me for so many years, and I have even rarely seen me?"

"Alas, as far as I know, Li Shunrong's background is not very good. The reason she agreed to the Empress Dowager was because the Empress Dowager gave her an undeniable condition, which was to find her brother who had been separated for many years. Of course, the Empress Dowager also had a requirement for Li Shunrong, that is, after giving birth to you, she and the Empress Dowager were both trustworthy people. Both of them fulfilled their promises that year. The Empress Dowager helped her find her brother, and she never acted too close to you." Concubine Yang sighed again at this time.

"Brother?" Zhao Zhen was stunned again when he heard this, and then asked in surprise, "So I have an uncle. Since the empress dowager has found him, where is he? Have I seen him?"

Concubine Yang sighed again at this time, "You have seen him for a long time, and he has a son and a daughter, and his son is only a few years older than you..."

"Wait a minute!" Before Concubine Yang finished speaking, Zhao Zhen seemed to have guessed something. He immediately interrupted her with a scream, and then said in disbelief, "My mother's surname is Li, and Li Zhang is also Li. They... do they have anything to do with it?"

"Yes, your uncle is Li Zhang's father Li Yonghe, and Li Zhang is also your cousin. However, when the empress dowager saw that Li Zhang was extremely smart, she became loving talent, so she forced herself to recognize this relative." Seeing that Zhao Zhen had guessed, Concubine Yang nodded and said.

"Cousin... Cousin is my dear cousin!" Although Zhao Zhen had vaguely guessed, he still said to himself with shock at this time. He had previously believed that Li Zhang and Liu E were in the same group, and he was even a spy sent by Liu E to him. However, now Yang's words subverted his previous speculation.

"Does cousin know my life experience?" Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of a key question again, so he asked again.

"I originally thought he didn't know, because of course the empress dowager accepted the marriage tactfully. Li Zhang was not old. Your uncle Li Yonghe is a timid and afraid of trouble. He should not dare to tell him the truth of the matter. But later he took you to see Li Shunrong. Later, because of treating Li Shunrong, the empress dowager was placed under house arrest for one year. These are enough to prove that he must know Li Shunrong's identity." Concubine Yang sighed again at this time. She didn't want to mention these old things in the past, but now she must let Zhao Zhen understand it.

"So that's it. At the beginning, I wondered why my cousin was under house arrest. No matter how I asked him, he would not tell the truth. It turned out that it was because of this reason." Zhao Zhen also sat there in a daze and said to himself. He finally understood Li Zhang's painstaking efforts. In order to cure his biological mother's illness, he would rather take the risk of offending the powerful Liu E. You must know that if Liu E really had the intention to kill herself at that time, no one would save him.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhang is your cousin, and he is also a person who values ​​friendship. He knows that the Empress Dowager has deceived him, but he still respects the Empress Dowager very much. I feel that he should be the one who can understand you the most." Concubine Yang spoke again at this time.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while. He thought of his misunderstanding about Li Zhang during this period and even vented his anger on the other party. When he thought of this, Zhao Zhen felt extremely regretful.

"No, I'll go see my cousin now!" Zhao Zhen suddenly stood up and said, "He wanted to apologize to Li Zhang in person, and there was another very important thing that needed Li Zhang's help!

"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, and my sister has just passed away. I think it's better to summon Li Duwei to the palace tomorrow to talk!" Yang Taifei persuaded when she heard Zhao Zhen's words.

"No, I can't wait for a moment. I must see my cousin immediately!" Zhao Zhen said stubbornly. After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Concubine Yang, then turned around and left. He should have stayed to keep a guard for Liu E, but now he doesn't care about these things, which makes Concubine Yang sigh again.

It was too late outside, the palace gate had already been closed, and after Liu E's death, the palace was covered with silly white everywhere, and all entertainment was prohibited in the entire Tokyo city, which made this night particularly quiet, but Zhao Zhen forced the city gate to open, and then quickly left the palace and rushed to Li Zhang's home.

Li Zhang had just returned home at this time. He deliberately stayed in the palace for a while, just to contribute to Liu E's funeral, but Zhao Zhen seemed to have no intention of using him, which disappointed him. Moreover, the palace was full of concubines, so it was not convenient for him to stay there for a long time, so he could only say goodbye and leave first.
