The prince's half-sister? Wan Shufang felt her mind go blank after hearing these words.

Wan Shufang didn't pay much attention to what the woman said next, she just quickly sorted out her thoughts.

If the woman in front of him is the prince's sister, doesn't that mean the prince's biological mother is still alive?

But this woman has a close relationship with Liu Yaoyao and others, and she also lives in Prince Rong’s Mansion. Does she really regard the prince as her own brother?

Wan Shufang's thoughts raced, and she couldn't help but have a frightening guess deep in her heart. She immediately became wary of the woman in front of her who looked extremely weak.

"Don't you believe me?" The woman felt a subtle change in Wan Shufang's eyes. She still had a gentle smile on her face, but Wan Shufang sensed a subtle chill from this smile.

She immediately realized that although this woman looked weak and sympathetic, she was actually very scheming.

This weak and innocent look in front of her was probably a disguise. She had to be vigilant, otherwise she would easily be led astray by some shocking words.

"Although what you said is too shocking, considering your appearance, no matter how much I don't want to believe it, I have to listen to your words and think carefully about the matter between you and the prince."

With an idea in mind, Wan Shufang forced herself to suppress her shock and spoke with a worried look on her face.

"Madam, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know of your existence? Have you ever thought about contacting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The woman didn't answer, but Liu Yaoyao couldn't wait to ask: "How did the prince know about the existence of Madam?"

Looking Wan Shufang up and down, Liu Yaoyao continued, "The prince is the emperor's son. Even if he knows that he is not born by the queen, for the sake of the position of prince, he will probably regard himself as the queen's son. After all, the queen's son is legitimate, and he is born by the queen, so he is naturally the prince by right."

"If the identity of the madam as his sister is exposed, he will probably be the first person to kill the madam. Wan Shufang, your husband is a friend of the prince, which means that your general's mansion has already surrendered to the prince."

"Now that you know Madam's identity, you mentioned the Crown Prince in front of Madam. What's going on? Do you want them to recognize each other as siblings? Or do you want the Crown Prince to hurt Madam in order to save himself?"

Every word Liu Yaoyao said was filled with suspicion and contempt for the prince. Wan Shufang looked at her in astonishment after hearing her.

Wasn't it Liu Yaoyao who brought her to the Rong Palace to see the Crown Prince's sister? Shouldn't she cooperate with this woman and say some specious words in the name of the Crown Prince to deceive her? Why didn't she hide her disgust and contempt for the Crown Prince?

Countless thoughts flashed through Wan Shufang's mind. She always felt that Liu Yaoyao and the woman in front of her were planning something different from what she thought.

She originally just wanted to test the intentions of these two people, but now she had to be more vigilant and have doubts.

"His Royal Highness is not such a person, Miss Liu. You have never met His Royal Highness, nor have you ever been with him. How can you judge the Crown Prince based on your own subjective assumptions?"

"Besides, the prince is this lady's brother. As for the matters between them, we should let them know each other first. How can we let them become enemies just because of your words?"

As soon as Wan Shufang opened her mouth, she deliberately spoke in a direction that suggested Liu Yaoyao was trying to sow discord.

Liu Yaoyao's expression stiffened slightly when she heard this.

"Cough cough." The woman who had allowed the two to confront each other put her hand on her lips and suppressed her cough twice.

She seemed to be in poor health. Just a cough made her whole face turn red, but it was not a healthy red, but a red that came from a terminal illness.

When Liu Yaoyao noticed the red color, she remembered the reason why she brought Wan Shufang here.

She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that she had been so angry at Wan Shufang that she had forgotten about the important matter.

"Madam, Wan Shufang is right. I said the wrong thing just now."

Liu Yaoyao apologized directly to the woman and didn't want to bow to Wan Shufang at all.

It was easy to guess what she was thinking. Wan Shufang understood it clearly. She did not refute her, but just stared at the woman with burning eyes.

She wanted to know what was wrong with the woman's body, and then test her feelings towards the prince.

If the man wanted to use her to deal with the prince, Wan Shufang felt that she had to think carefully about the situation at hand before she could use this woman to protect the people she cared about.

"You are worried about me, that's why you say things without thinking." The woman coughed again, and then her eyes fell on Wan Shufang.

Her eyes were gentle, as if she treated Wan Shufang as her junior.

"Since the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang City, I have wanted to find a time to meet the prince, but the prince was in the Western Regions before, so I couldn't meet him and could only stay in Luoyang City."

"A few months ago, the prince finally arrived in Luoyang City, but was sent to the western border by the emperor. My health condition was getting worse and worse, so I was very worried about the prince."

"It's just that Luoyang City is being tightly guarded by the Emperor at the moment. My people have no way to get out. How can I have the chance to contact the Crown Prince and let him know of my existence?"

"It was at this time that I noticed you and Chen Changli, and wanted to get in touch with you, but my health was too bad, so I couldn't leave here to meet you."

"Liu Yaoyao is my friend. After she knew my thoughts, she invited you here in this way."

"Her behavior was a bit rude, and she has wronged you. I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive her."

The woman spoke in a very gentle tone, and at the end she bowed to Wan Shufang in an extremely gentle and graceful manner, as if she was willing to take all the blame for Liu Yaoyao.

But Wan Shufang was first poisoned by a Gu, and then suffered the pain of the Gu. The woman wanted to take over the matter with just an apology, which made it seem that everything Wan Shufang had experienced was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the woman.

Wan Shufang felt very uncomfortable, but the woman's purpose was unclear. No matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to endure it just because the woman looked like the prince.

"Madam, please stand up quickly." Wan Shufang quickly reached out to support the woman and said calmly, "I think we will find time to settle the grudge between Liu Yaoyao and me later, but before that, no matter how much we dislike each other, I'm afraid we will have to put aside all our grudges and help each other because of Madam."

Although Wan Shufang tried to force herself to endure the discomfort caused by the woman's words, she had never suffered such injustice, and she still revealed her dissatisfaction in her words.

When the woman understood what Wan Shufang meant, her eyelids twitched.

Wan Shufang is indeed a cheerful and generous woman who cannot tolerate any injustice. No wonder Liu Yaoyao does not intend to flatter her, but instead uses the poisonous insect to control her directly.

Retracting her hand, the woman, whose mind raced like lightning, looked at Wan Shufang helplessly and said sadly: "Liu Yaoyao did this for me, and that's why she hurt you. If you have any complaints, just blame me."
