What does that mean?

This woman will know. Bring it!

Tuk Soon, something was placed in front of the emperor and empress. Only after Elisha peered very closely through the portrait hole did she realize what it was. It was a small, ancient tombstone.

What is thisa tombstone? Just looking at it makes me feel bad. Plus, it looks like a very old item. Looks like I just dug it up . Plus, this looks like the emblem of an ancient god. Plus this . Its the symbol of an evil god?

The empress seemed to have some relevant knowledge. Ilione answered.

Yes. Thats right, Royal Mother. This is the holy relic of the evil god. Its an object used to curse someone. It is often said to be an item used to destroy the child of someone you wish to curse.

It cant be .

The empresss eyes quaked as if she realized something.

Where did you dig this thing out?

This was buried under the floor of the Empresss palace, in Royal Mothers room.

The empress let out a brief scream.

How long on earth has this been buried? Dont time me, Yepnen .

Thats right. It was buried before Yepnen was born. Do you remember, mother? I was born before Royal Father ascended the throne. So, the two of you were outside the imperial palace . You gave birth to me in a local castle. But Yepnen was born inside the imperial palace.

.

The room that the late Empress Shen used in the Empresss palace.

The room was filled with cold silence. Ilione pointed to the courtier.

Hurry and tell them!

The old courtier was loudly trembling. She looked disheveled and ragged as if she had been interrogated before coming here.

I have committed a mortal sin. I could not disobey the late Empress Shens orders. The day Prince Jewel was born As her last breath was dying Empress Shen had commanded meThis evil gods relic . Hide it under the floor of the empress palace.

Keep talking Hurry!

The emperor roared into anger like a beast. The palace servant was now almost crawling on all fours.

Please name the newly born Prince Jewel. After that If His Majestys son is born, Prince Jewels position will be in jeopardy. So she told me to hide this evil gods sacred relic.

The emperors hands trembled.

After the emperor came to the throne, the country was at peace. But there was only one tragedy that befell the royal family. As Yepnen grew, he was losing command of his legs.

Now that I think about it, its strange, Royal Father.

Ilione noted,

There has never been a time in our familys history . No child has ever been born with symptoms like Yepnens. There must be some reason. You know how effective the items of evil gods are. The temple of the evil god created all kinds of cursed objects and caused harm to the world. So, he is an ancient god who was subjugated by the main gods temple army!

The emperor sighed.

Are you saying its because of this item that Yepnen is limping?

Maybe so. But what does it matter, Royal Father! One thing is important. I dont think Her Majesty the late empress could do something like this alone . Did His Majesty the Former Emperor not know? Perhaps the two held hands and prayed before the emperor passed away. Please dont let Royal Fathers biological son be born!

Iliones words felt so real that the emperors face turned pale.

Royal Father raised Jewel like his own son. How could he do such a thing. In the end, he only cared about his child.

.

Will you not protect your own child, Yepnen?

Elisha wanted to smile; Ilione had exceeded her expectations.

I thought Ilione was clueless. But she is successful in every matter that shes involved in. You are a very intelligent princess.

This morning.

Elisha approached Ilione while Lucerne was looking elsewhere in the temple.

Read this secretly. Without Lucerne knowing. Without anyone knowing.

Elisha handed Ilione the note. It contained earth-shattering information.

[Empress Shen passed away, leaving a tombstone of an evil god buried on the floor of the empress palace. The story behind it can be revealed by the palace servant who served Empress Shen on her deathbed. The old courtier knows. Somehow open her mouth.]

That wasnt just her.

Carola hadnt been the only one toiling and busy laying the groundwork for today.
