The Emperor was disturbed by the crying to the point of a headache, and waved his hand to signal Eunuch Liu. Subsequently, guards came in, covered the mouths, and dragged people out; the Shi family's old steward also followed Eunuch Liu out.
The Emperor pressed the center of his brows, as the situation had become real, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions, "Back then, this family couldn't support two children, so they fled to Pingzhou City. The Shi family's legitimately born son was seriously ill, and a wandering Taoist suggested a substitute. So, they searched throughout the city for a child born under a fitting "Birthday" to be raised alongside him. This family was reluctant to part with their own son, knowing full well that sending him meant death."
