Lei Fan was startled but he forced himself to calm down as he put on a forlorn expression and said: "Father, how is it possible I am not your son? Doesn't Father recognize this face on your son anymore? Father! Have you really forgotten my mother's looks already! ?"
[He still has wiggle room to put up a final struggle!]
[He still has a chance to turn this around!]
[His face might just be able to save his life!]
When the Emperor saw the face that looked so much like the woman he had loved so much on Lei Fan, he hesitated a moment. It was a fact that Lei Fan's countenance looked very similar to the woman he loved and did not look the slightest bit alike to the Empress or the Prime Minister at all.
The Empress knew she had no way of getting herself out of this anymore but Lei Fan's words had given her another glimmer of hope. She would not be able to save herself, but her son, might still have a chance to be able to live!
