did you read a spoiler? How did you know? Spoiler alert she is the lost daughter of the princess and those Su creatures stole her when they were trying to attack Princess's resident. Sus were never loyal to emperor and committed treason. Oh my gosh you won't believe how our girl cried when she found out that Prince Yue is her uncle.
I agree with the first part of what you said (I don’t think Prince Yue is the emperor’s son, maybe his mother had an affair? But the emperor loved her? So the empress tried to kill him, the emperor had no choice but to send him away) HOWEVER!!! A cousins of your mother is still considered your uncle, so yes I think it is the worst case scenario. Pleeeeaaaseeee let my predictions be riiigghhhtttt
Like I said, I don't think he's actually related to her mother. But the one that IS related to her mother is the third prince that the FL's "cousin" is trying to marry. The one that accused the FL of tampering with the screen meant for the Emperor's birthday. He really IS her uncle, and in her past life she fell in love with him, but he betrayed her and sent her to her death.
Hello people! This is some major spoilers so...

.The ML is not a son of the emperor at all. The empress was assaulted by one of the six families during that time. The emperor, who loves the empress very much just took in the empress' son as sort of consolation because he wasn't able to stop the tragedy that happened to his empress. So nope, Yue is not an actual royal blood. He is the son of the empress from someone else.
This sara person is acting like a lil ol troll, but you guys can read the MTL of the novel in wattpad, albeit its so freaking wonky.
Hi! It was a suspicion that was creeping in FL's mind for so long, combined with the way the Su Clan's treatment to them as if they wanted them dead. FL told ML about her suspicions (ugh....i wont spoil more but i am truly sad for them here.) and then ML..albeit reluctant to face the possible truth, told Grand Princess Yide their suspicion. Yide then went to FL and her mother the very next day to confirm.
He's not her uncle. He's not related to her mother. He's the product of the empress being raped. The emperor is trying to keep him safe because he decided to take him in as his some, but he is NOT THE FL UNCLE. He's not even technically the FL's mother's cousin. He has no blood relationship with either the FL or her mother.

I bet Mu Yunyao’s mother is the lost imperial princess, and the sus are trying to claim her for their own to get rid of her and put one of the sus girls as the adopted daughter. Maybe, cuz why else would they wanna kill them? Why look for them?
