"Everything here is left to Qinghuang and Chu Xuanyi. Dear ladies, you can return to the palace with me." His Majesty the Emperor sat on the sedan chair and took one last look at Ling Ancheng who was kneeling on the ground. "Chu Xuanyi, you Stay here and listen to the eldest princess’s instructions, and then return to the palace to report to me after everything is settled.”

Chu Xuanyi lowered his head to accept the order.

All the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied, and the fate of the Ling family is decided.

The emperor returned to the palace satisfied with the victory that only he knew.

Millions of taels of gold and silver... No matter how much these gold and silver are after they are liquidated, whether it is three million taels or five million taels, it is still millions, which is a large amount for the national treasury.

The emperor no longer has to worry about money for the time being, and he no longer has to worry about the Ling family's military convicts. After returning home, he can finally have a good sleep.

Qinghuang is indeed his lucky star.

Chu Qinghuang's three thousand guards stayed to surround the Ling family's mansion. Chu Xuanyi arranged for a few trustworthy guards to count the gold and silver, and then personally took the whole Ling family to the prison.

Ling Ancheng looked depressed and gloomy along the way. The crying sounds of Mrs. Ling and other female members of the Ling family made him upset. Ling Ancheng coldly scolded "Shut up" before he finally calmed down.

After being put into the cell, Ling Ancheng raised his head and looked at Chu Xuanyi who was about to leave: "Prince Yi."

Chu Xuanyi turned his head and looked at him calmly: "General Ling, do you have something to say?"

"The Ling family has fallen to this point. I, the general, have nothing to say." Ling Ancheng looked coldly, "I just have a secret I want to tell you."

Chu Xuanyi's expression was stern: "What secret?"

"Prince Yi, you can come closer." Ling Ancheng said calmly, "This matter is related to the stability of the country and should not be publicized."

Chu Xuanyi frowned, is it related to the stability of the country?

After a moment of silence, he slowly walked closer and stood outside the cell, looking directly at Ling Ancheng: "General Ling, you can speak now."

Ling Ancheng looked coldly: "The Queen Mother has always preferred Concubine Feng. Do you know the reason for this?"

Queen Mother?

Chu Xuanyi's eyes flashed with deep thought, and then he said calmly: "Who the Queen Mother prefers is her own business. Everyone has their own favorite people. As a minister, this seems not to be my responsibility."

"You are wrong." Ling Ancheng sneered, "As a high-ranking empress dowager, the woman with the last laugh in the harem, she should have given up everything, peacefully enjoyed her glory, and spent her old age in peace, with the emperor and the harem's concubines to honor her. She She will be the most beautiful and happy woman in the world, but she insists on having a hand in the fight for the heirloom, and secretly favors Concubine Feng and her son. Don't you think this is abnormal? "

Chu Xuanyi's heart sank slightly.

His intuition told him that he should not continue listening, but Ling Ancheng obviously did not consider his feelings at this time and was determined to tell him the truth. He continued without waiting for his reaction: "The current emperor is not the biological son of the Queen Mother at all, not even the late emperor. The bloodline of Feng Guifei is."

Chu Xuanyi's expression changed: "General Ling——"

"You want me to tell lies and spread rumors about the emperor's bloodline?" Ling Ancheng smiled coldly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the Queen Mother in person."

Chu Xuanyi's face was as dark as water, and he rebuked coldly: "That's a bunch of nonsense!"

Ling Ancheng's tone was cold: "When the civet cat replaced the prince, the queen mother worked very hard to stabilize her position as queen, but paper cannot contain fire, and there is no airtight wall in this world."

"shut up!"

"Prince Yi is afraid?" Ling Ancheng looked at him for a moment, as if there were flames dancing in his eyes, "Prince Rong is the true royal bloodline, and Prince Yi is not tempted at all?"

Chu Xuanyi looked at him expressionlessly: "General Ling, before he died, did he want to create a civil strife in the royal family?"

"The emperor's name is not justified. As long as it is revealed that he does not have the blood of the emperor, he is not qualified to be the emperor." Ling Ancheng said coldly, "Although the third prince was born to Concubine Feng, even if Concubine Feng regained her royal status, she would only be She is a princess, and her son has no chance of becoming emperor. Moreover, the Queen Mother is charged with confusing the royal bloodline. Neither she nor Concubine Feng will end well. After the chaos in the royal family, Prince Rong's palace has the best chance, but Prince Yi has no chance at all. Not excited?"

Chu Xuanyi looked at him silently, his lips pursed tightly, and the deep color in his eyes surged, "Who else knows about this?"

Ling Ancheng sneered.

"If what you said is true, then the Queen Mother must know." Chu Xuanyi said, "Feng Guifei should not know, otherwise she would not have endured until now, and other people should not know, otherwise this secret cannot be kept. So many years.”

"As long as Prince Yi has this idea, I can be a witness." Ling Ancheng's voice was sinister. "The throne of Jiangshan belongs to the Chu family, not a fake emperor who was replaced. As the legitimate son of Prince Rong, Prince Yi has the responsibility to restore the purity of the royal bloodline. ”

Chu Xuanyi narrowed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Thank you, General Ling, for telling me this. I will consider this matter carefully and come to you in a few days."

After saying that, he looked at Ling Ancheng calmly and turned to leave.
