Shortly after Zhao Yan entered the palace, an imperial edict was quickly sent from the palace and directly to Wang Shin of the Princess Consort's Mansion outside the palace. The imperial edict was very long, but the meaning was very simple. It was nothing more than saying that Wang Shin was not caring enough about Princess Bao'an after marriage, which led to the disagreement between the couple. So he issued an order to separate the two. After the imperial edict was issued, Wang Shin and Princess Bao'an officially terminated the relationship between husband and wife.

That night, Princess Bao'an burned her dowry and broke up with Wang Shuo completely spread, which once again caused an uproar in the entire Tokyo city. Even at the beginning, everyone didn't believe that Princess Bao'an, who has always been gentle and virtuous, would never do such a thing. However, Princess Shoukang, who was usually very popular, might do such a thing.

However, as more and more news came out of the Prince Consort's Mansion, those who were suspicious at the beginning gradually believed this. After the last time that Zhao Yan beat Wang Shi out, people from the outside world already knew that Princess Bao'an was often wronged, but they did not expect that Wang Shi would become Ben Jiali this time and gave the princess' room to a concubine without the princess' consent. Under such insults, Princess Bao'an, who was usually gentle and virtuous, could no longer bear it. This broke out in a head-on conflict with Wang Shi and even said words to sever the relationship between husband and wife with Wang Shi.

Wang Shi had been disgraced by Zhao Yan before, especially his indifference to Princess Bao'an, which made many people sympathize with Princess Bao'an. Now, Wang Shi not only does not repent, but instead bullies Princess Bao'an again, which has greatly changed more people's impression of Wang Shi. So when this incident spread throughout the capital, the public's discussion almost turned to Princess Bao'an. As for Wang Shi, he became a representative of indifferent and unfaithfulness. Even many scholars who had had close friendship with Wang Shi were deeply ashamed and vowed not to interact with Wang Shi again in the future.

Wang Shi didn't expect that things would come to this point. He originally thought that with Princess Bao'an's weak temperament, even if he was replaced by himself, he would only swallow his anger to maintain the harmony of the family. Unexpectedly, Princess Bao'an, who was usually weak, had such a strong side and burned the dowry. This made this matter unable to be hidden. Now the outside world is cursing at him, which makes Wang Shi dare not go out at all. In just a few days, he had received several letters of breaking up with friends. As for the Su Shi brothers and Li Gonglin and others, although they did not explicitly express breaking up with friends, no one came to the door on his own initiative.

After the last time that Zhao Yan beat Wang Shi, although many people were a little despised Wang Shi's character, the talent and cultivation that Wang Shi showed before also accumulated a lot of popularity for him, and Zhao Yan's methods were too fierce. So many people still had some sympathy for Wang Shi. However, after the incident of Princess Bao'an burning the dowry was spread, both in the folk and in the scholars, they were extremely disgusted with what he did. It can be said that Wang Shi's reputation for hard work was ruined, and even during this period he did not dare to go out.

Zhao Yan didn't care about the reactions from the outside world, or he didn't have time to care about it, because Princess Bao'an fell ill after coming back that day. After Cao Ying and the imperial doctor diagnosed her, they said that this was a heart disease and could only take care of her slowly. Zhao Yan had no choice but to chat with Princess Shoukang every day. Fortunately, Princess Bao'an was not very sick, and as time went by, the condition gradually improved, which made Zhao Yan and others breathe a sigh of relief.

That day, Zhao Yan and Princess Shoukang chatted with Princess Baoan. After watching her drink a bowl of lotus seed soup, the two left to let her rest. However, just after leaving Princess Baoan's yard, Zhao Yan hesitated several times and finally spoke to Princess Shoukang: "Three sister, there is something that has been in my heart for several days. I really want to ask you clearly today."

"What's the matter?" Princess Shoukang also looked at Zhao Yan in surprise when she heard this. The question that Zhao Yan could hold on for a few days was definitely not a simple matter.

"Third sister, you and your second sister are both seventeen years old this year, and it is March's birthday. The eldest brother Zhao Xu is also seventeen years old, but it is September's birthday. It can be said that you are no more than the eldest brother than the eldest brother, but why are they all the daughters of the Empress?" Zhao Yan has been thinking hard for many days on this question. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, just wanting to hear Princess Shoukang's answer.

"Hehe, you stupid boy didn't realize this problem, right?" Princess Shoukang said, and said with a blank look when she heard Zhao Yan's words, "Big brother is six months younger than me and my second sister. The second brother is sixteen years old, which is October's birthday, and you are fifteen years old, which is March's birthday, so you and your second brother cannot be born to the same mother, but both in the palace and in the folk think that our brothers and sisters are all born to the Queen."

When she said this, Princess Shoukang suddenly snorted coldly and continued with disdain, "Can you be different from other women after becoming a queen, and you can have a baby in five or six months of pregnancy?"

Hearing Princess Shoukang's words, Zhao Yan finally confirmed the guess in his heart. Before, he thought that Princess Bao'an and Zhao Xu were the same age as Zhao Xu, and they were not very different. Then he thought that he and the second brother Zhao Hao who had not met were also very similar. According to the woman's ten months pregnant and then she had to recuperate for a while, it was impossible for Empress Gao to be the mother of all princesses.

"According to the Empress's usual attitude, the eldest brother must be her biological son, so you must not be the queen's second sister and third sister. In addition, the queen's attitude towards me, I guess I am not her son, right?" Zhao Yan said with a wry smile at this time. He finally knew why Queen Gao was so biased. It turned out that she was not someone else's son at all.

"Haha, just know. Among our brothers and sisters, there is only the eldest brother, the second brother is the queen's flesh and blood, and the others are born to other concubines. But in order to prevent the fight in the harem, no matter who gave birth to a prince and a princess, they will be classified as the queen. Now you understand!" Princess Shoukang sneered. When she heard her tone, she seemed very dissatisfied with Queen Gao.

Zhao Yan nodded in understanding when he heard this. No wonder in history, Zhao Shu's children were all born to Empress Gao, but other concubines in the harem did not have any records of giving birth. It turned out that this happened. But then Zhao Yan thought of another question and asked in confusion: "Three sister, Dad was not the son of the late emperor before. We were all born before Dad ascended the throne. Why do the family still use the rules of the palace?"

"What's strange about this? When my father was only three years old, because the sons of the late emperor died one after another, he took him to the palace to raise him. It was not until later that the late emperor's concubine was pregnant again that his father was allowed to leave the palace again. Later, the late emperor married the queen, and the queen also grew up in the palace since childhood. In addition, the late emperor did not give birth to a son, so the queen believed that his father would definitely enter the palace in the future, so he implemented the same trick in the palace at home. As a result, our siblings' mothers became the queen. As for our biological mother, only a few people knew about it." Princess Shoukang said indignantly again. As a child, he had no right to know who his biological mother was. No matter who he was, he would be angry.

"So that's it, but since you know this, third sister, have you never thought about who your biological mother is?" Zhao Yan also asked curiously at this time.

"Why didn't it? Since I learned that the queen is not my biological mother, I have been searching for it in the harem. Unfortunately, the servants before my father entered the palace were dismissed by the queen. There were not many people who knew the inside story. Moreover, due to the empress's power, no one dared to say it. Even our mother herself could only bury this matter deep in her heart. However, this princess is not a vegetarian. During this period, she has targeted Zhang Xiurong, Bao Zhaoyi and Zhang Guiyi. Because I have found out, only the three of them have given birth to the concubines in the harem, so our mother must be among the three of them." Princess Shoukang seemed quite excited when she spoke at the end.

"Haha, my third sister is in love. You and my second sister have loved me so much since childhood. Maybe we were really born to the same mother!" Zhao Yan also smiled when she heard this. Although he was not the real Zhao Yan, at least this body was born to Zhao Yan's mother. As a child, he always had to do some filial piety, so he was also very curious about his biological mother.

"It doesn't matter whether a mother was born. We are all the children of our fathers, and we are originally brothers and sisters." Princess Shoukang smiled when she heard this, but then she thought of another thing and said to Zhao Yan in a lesson tone, "Third brother, you have been married to Ying'er's sister for so long, why are you still sleeping in a separate room? When will I hold my nephew if this continues?"

When Zhao Yan heard Princess Shoukang mention her and Cao Ying again, she was quite helpless, but he did not answer positively, but said unwillingly: "San Sister, since you like children so much, why don't you get married and have one yourself earlier, so that it will also make the second sister worry-free. Maybe the second sister will be happy and will recover immediately."

"Hey? You are so brave now that you dare to care about my sister's affairs. See if I don't deal with you today!" Princess Shoukang said that she was about to twist Zhao Yan's mouth. Zhao Yan naturally would not stand and let her twist. She hid in a laugh. As a result, the siblings and brothers were fighting outside. When the laughter reached the room, Princess Bao'an, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but smile.
