After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 537 - 353 My Son Has His Difficulties! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

Fu Zhen said, "His shop was vandalized two or three months ago. It is said that at the time, someone with a phoenix-shaped birthmark on the back of their neck was living nearby. I specifically inquired about it, and the old man told me that this person was very tall, skilled in martial arts, and the phoenix-shaped birthmark was right here—"

She turned her neck and pointed to the spot where Yang Yi’s birthmark was located.

The one who gave Silver to Li Yi to find Yang Yi was He Rong, Fu Zhen had already found out. However, she could not yet take it upon herself to reveal the truth to Li Yi.

And as for the Empress, it was the same situation. The Empress was desperately searching for her son in secret, yet her son currently had no intention of entering the palace to acknowledge his kin,

Fu Zhen could not break her promise to Yang Yi, could not disclose his whereabouts. But as for the Empress—she was no longer young, and no one knew how many days she had left to wait. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

After witnessing Mrs. Ning’s deep maternal love for her children, Fu Zhen could not bear to let the Empress remain in the dark.

Thus, she boldly made such a choice. She could refrain from revealing Yang Yi’s whereabouts, but letting the Empress know her son was still alive was essential.

"Two or three months... So, he really is still alive? Is it really him?"

The Empress clutched her hands tightly, her eyes wide as she looked at Fu Zhen, "Did Li Yi really see him with his own eyes two or three months ago? You say he was in Cangzhou?!"

"This is true," Fu Zhen nodded heavily, "For this, Li Yi even drew a sketch of the person’s phoenix-shaped birthmark for me. Your Majesty, have a look; is this birthmark the same as the one on the Crown Prince?"

Fu Zhen took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and presented it to the Empress.

Of course, the drawing was something she made on the spot. She had seen Yang Yi’s birthmark herself, and with her recently acquired painting skills, if it wasn’t exactly like the original, it was at least ninety-five percent similar.

As expected, the Empress’s eyes turned red upon seeing this, "This shape of birthmark, even if ten lifetimes passed, I would remember! When he was born, a high monk outside the world prophesied that as long as we have him, his father would definitely succeed in the uprising, and indeed later—"

The words of this heartbroken mother could go no further. She clutched the paper to her heart, then unfolded it again, spreading it out on the table and smoothing it again and again.

"Call He Rong for me. No!—Summon Li Yi into the palace! Quickly go!"

The palace attendant immediately complied.

Seeing this, Fu Zhen offered tea, "Your Majesty, have a drink of water, don’t let your health suffer from anxiety."

The Empress waved her hand, "I need nothing now; I just want to know if they really saw my son? Is he truly still alive?"

Fu Zhen remained silent for a moment, then said, "Please, Your Majesty, calm your emotions. His Highness the Crown Prince... perhaps is already no longer here? Maybe Li Yi and they mistook someone else."

"How could they mistake it? This could never be mistaken!" The Empress pushed the paper forward, "If he hadn’t seen this birthmark with his own eyes, how could he draw it so similarly? Impossible!"

"But if that is the Crown Prince, then why doesn’t he come to the capital to see Your Majesty?" Fu Zhen looked at her, "Cangzhou is not far from the capital city. If he wished to see you, he could arrive in the capital in a day’s time."

The Empress stopped her tears and looked straight at Fu Zhen, her wide-open eyes appearing bottomless and hollow.

After a long while, she swallowed and said, "Does that matter? To me, it doesn’t matter. For so many years, regardless of why he hasn’t appeared, as long as I can see him, I can, and I won’t count anything against him."

Fu Zhen took a deep breath and said, "If His Highness the Crown Prince could see Your Majesty’s longing, it would be good, seeing you in such pain, I can’t help but blame His Highness.

"He left without a word, and there has been no news for so many years. If he is well and alive, he should come to the palace first thing to serve his parents and help relieve the Emperor’s burdens.

"If he only cares for his own enjoyment and wanders outside without returning home, how can he face Your Majesty’s loving heart?"

"No!" The Empress’s denial came without hesitation, her gaze firm, "No one can doubt his character. Even if he truly won’t come back, it’s something I can foresee."
