When she heard that her brother and Yaoyao were on their way back, she was instantly relieved, and she longed for them to arrive at the West Water Frontier sooner.

That way, all three siblings could finally be reunited.

After dinner, Ji'er returned to her room for a bath.

When she turned the corner, she suddenly heard two women's voices engaged in conversation.

She did not pay attention to them at first, but she stopped in her tracks when she heard her name being mentioned.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"About what?"

"I heard Princess Ji'er was almost killed by the Emperor after she was born."

"Seriously? But I heard the Emperor loves the Empress very much—how'd he have the heart to kill the child she gave birth to for him?"

"Oh, you have no idea. I heard that when the Empress gave birth, she almost died of difficult labor…"

Behind Ji'er, Tong'er's face turned pale with horror. She wanted to charge over to those gossiping servants, but she had barely taken a step when Ji'er grabbed her arm.

Before she could speak, an icy hand clamped down over her mouth, stopping her from making any sound.

Tong'er was shocked. When she caught sight of the Princess's frighteningly emotionless eyes, she turned deathly pale. Anxiety and rage coursed through her, and she wanted nothing but to tear those gossiping servants to pieces.

However, the Princess had been practicing martial arts since she was a child. There was no way she could break free of her grasp.

The conversation was still going on.

"Since the Empress almost died then, shouldn't the Emperor treasure the newborn child even more? Given how much he loves her, how'd he have the heart to kill their child?"I think you should take a look at

"I'd like to agree with you, but the Emperor loved the Empress so much that he couldn't accept the fact that she'd died. In fact, he wanted everyone to die with her, and Princess Ji'er was his first target. He believed Princess Ji'er was responsible for the Empress's death, so he took all his fury out on her by letting her fall to her death, but General Chu Qi caught her at the very last second. Otherwise, a newborn child like her wouldn't have survived the fall—her head would've exploded, being thrown to the ground like that."

"If that's true, I really pity Princess Ji'er. Even though she's royalty, her birth wasn't welcomed."

"Exactly. Even wild beasts look after their young, you know. The Emperor's absolutely cruel for laying his hands on a newborn, and his own child at that."

"If I were her, I'd hate my father with all my heart. Even though he's the mighty Emperor, he's still a terrifying killer…"

At those words, Ji'er's entire body went cold as if she had fallen through a crack in a sheet of ice.

It was a dreadful feeling. She felt cold inside and out.

Her expression was alarming as well, and her face appeared somewhat ashen under the moonlight.

Tong'er watched her in distress, unable to stop her tears from falling.

She had been serving the Princess since she was a child, but she had never heard of this particular palace secret.

However, those two voices sounded so certain that it seemed like the truth.

Regardless of the veracity of the story, the Princess was definitely hurt by it—even Tong'er was heartbroken after hearing it.

All energy seemed to have been drained from Ji'er's body, and she released her grip weakly.

The instant Tong'er was free, she dashed around the corner to catch those two gossiping servants and give them a good beating.

It seemed that they had fled after sensing someone was nearby.
