Chapter 287: The Prince's Birthday is Coming Soon

Facing her question, Liu Wensheng's expression obviously stiffened for a moment.

However, he soon regained his earlier indifferent demeanor and said in a cold tone, "It doesn't matter. My life is in her hands; whatever she wants me to do, I must do."

Qi Yu smiled and shook her head, "That's not what I asked."

Liu Wensheng suddenly looked up at her, having heard her say, "I was thinking, the Empress's surname is Liu, and so is yours; it's not just a coincidence, right?"

At her words, Liu Wensheng remained silent for a long time.

Qi Yu wasn't in a hurry and just quietly waited.

The Empress had many secrets, and if Qi Yu could grasp just one thread, she could follow the vine to find the melon and investigate further.

After a long while, Liu Wensheng finally spoke, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, "Do you really need to ask?"

Qi Yu nodded frankly, not feeling there was anything wrong with asking a question that involved privacy.
