The words of Princess Zhao Yue sounded like she was speaking on behalf of Empress Mu and contradicting Princess Tuotuo, but if one listened carefully, one could detect the hidden meaning in her words.
Empress Mu had previously been promised to Saknu by the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager Mo, so before marrying Nangong Yi, her previous identity had been erased. This time, she was married to Nangong Yi as the daughter of a Hanlin Academy editor to become the Empress. Although everyone was well aware of this, they unanimously kept their mouths shut and chose to forget, and nobody dared to bring up the matter proactively.
