"Hehe."
With a forced smile, she chuckled softly.
Anyway, since Baiqing was able to cultivate his spiritual power, it didn't matter who got the credit. She just wanted to know why Lvqing hid Baiqing's ability from others.
"Truth be told," the Princess Consort Niu continued, "when Baiqing's father learned that Baiqing's spiritual root was ruined, he truly lost his appetite for food."
"He did not wish to let the emperor know about this. To be favored one day and lose it the next year—no one would willingly accept that. So, after much deliberation, he decided to keep this matter concealed.
Everyone who knew Baiqing had swallowed a pearl and couldn't cultivate had been silenced by him, one after another. Now, only His Highness and I remain."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Caisang glanced sideways at her own husband.
So, Prince Niu was not such a virtuous man after all. Just because he knew a secret, he had to be killed?
