The next day, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, the old emperor, who had just managed to fall asleep, was awakened by Eunuch Fuquan.

"Your Majesty, please wake up. It's time to get up and go to the morning court."

The old emperor was filled with anger. "How dare you! Who told you to wake me up?"

"Your Majesty, you promised yesterday that you would attend the morning court this morning. The gentlemen are waiting for you."

Eunuch Fuquan took two steps back and spoke in a slightly louder voice.

When the old emperor heard this, he also remembered.

He sat up with some difficulty and took a few breaths.

"Fuquan, help me get up and change my clothes."

"Yes."

Eunuch Fuquan helped the old emperor put on his dragon robe. The old emperor was out of breath and even sweating after just standing for a while.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Help me over there."

"Yes."

The old emperor walked to the main hall with difficulty with the help of Eunuch Fuquan.

The officials were already waiting.

Everyone hadn't seen the old emperor for a long time, and when they saw him today, they were all a little surprised.

How come the emperor has become like this in such a short time?!

The emperors of the past were not in good health, but they were ruddy and plump.

How come the emperor now looks obviously thinner? His face looks dark, he has dark circles under his eyes, his lips are purple and black, and it seems as if his energy has been sucked away by something.

The old emperor sat on the dragon throne, panting, and asked Eunuch Fuquan to pass on a message to him.

"Everyone, if you have something to say, please stand up and report. If not, please leave the court."

All the ministers looked at each other.

Then several ministers came forward one after another to report some things.

The old emperor asked Eunuch Fuquan to convey all the messages for him.

Because he was a little speechless.

Finally, King Jing stood up.

"Father, your Majesty, I and several others have something important to report to you. Please move to the Imperial Study."

As soon as King Jing said this, some ministers were dissatisfied.

"Prince Jing, I don't know what's so important that you have to talk about it in private. Why? Are your colleagues not qualified to listen?"

King Jing chuckled, "My lord, since I have said it is an important matter, of course I must first inform my father, and then he will decide whether to tell you.

Sir, why are you so anxious to know what happened? Could it be that you are feeling guilty?

Are you worried that among the important things I mentioned, there are things about adults?"

The other party was immediately furious, "You!"

"enough!"

The old emperor was feeling irritated and what he hated most was seeing other people quarrelling.

After his roar, the hall fell silent and he began to cough, covering his lips.

Eunuch Fuquan quickly patted him on the back.

When the old emperor saw the black blood on his palm, he wiped his mouth calmly and clenched his fist.

"If there is nothing else, please leave the court. King Jing, if you have anything to say, please come to the imperial study and talk."

After saying these words, the old emperor suppressed the urge to cough, and with the help of Eunuch Fuquan, he left the hall with a staggering step.

King Jing and the adult with whom he had just quarreled looked at each other and calmly looked away.

Royal study room.

King Jing, King An, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor and more than a dozen other officials stood under the platform.

The old emperor sat on the dragon throne and rubbed his eyebrows.

"Say what you want to say."

King Jing looked around the imperial study and took a step forward, "Father, last time I left the capital, I went to look for the whereabouts of Prince Kang's family of three, and I did find them. Prince Kang is not dead!"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Oh? King Kang is not dead? Did you see him with your own eyes?"

"Yes, I not only saw him with my own eyes, but also brought him back."

After King Jing finished speaking, he looked directly at the old emperor and clapped his hands.

Then, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and Prince Kang, dressed in a black brocade robe, walked in.

When the old emperor saw Prince Kang intact, he felt like cutting him into pieces.

He knew that An Yi had betrayed him, and he also knew that King Kang was not dead at all.

But he didn't expect that King Jing would actually bring King Kang back directly.

He was sure that Song Chengzhang was dead, so what on earth did King Kang want to do by showing up now? !

"San'er, I didn't expect you to be still alive! I am so relieved!"

The old emperor was still pretending to sigh.

King Kang looked at the imposter in front of him with a fake smile, "Are you really happy that I'm still alive?

Wasn't it you who asked An Yi to hunt me, my wife and daughter?

You must be shocked to see that I am still alive."

When the old emperor heard this, his eyelids twitched nervously.

"San'er, what are you talking about? You are my own son, how could I allow someone to hunt you down?

Could it be that someone is gossiping in front of you?"

After the old emperor finished speaking, he covered his lips and started coughing again.

Everyone in the imperial study just watched him cough.

Eunuch Fuquan was too lazy to pretend and too lazy to pat him on the back, so he just stood there.

After the old emperor stopped coughing, Prince Kang continued speaking.

"You should know better whether anyone is gossiping about me or not.

I won't waste my words on you, fake one. You have occupied everything of my father for so many years, it's time for you to return it!"

King Kang said this with gritted teeth as Song Chengzhang walked in from outside, followed by the royal guards.

The royal guards rushed in and surrounded the old emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne.

When the old emperor saw Song Chengzhang, his eyes widened instantly.

"You! You're not dead yet!"

After more than ten years, Song Chengzhang finally met his twin brother.

Now they can no longer be said to look exactly the same.

The counterfeit was emaciated, his face was darker, his lips were purple, and he looked like he would die sooner or later.

Song Chengzhang is thin and has gray hair, but his complexion is good and he looks healthy.

Even though their physical health conditions are different, it can still be seen that they look the same.

Song Chengzhang had a complicated expression, "I am indeed not dead, I am sorry to disappoint you.

You gave me the life-extending elixir for seventeen years, but after I came to the capital, you had someone kill me. What on earth do you want to do?"

The counterfeit sneered, "What do I want to do? Of course I want you to die!

Why are we all princes, but only you have a name, an identity, and everything? !

Why can I only hide in the dark and not be discovered by anyone? !

You have been Song Chengzhang for decades, and it’s time for me to be the one!

You shouldn't be here!"

The counterfeit took a deep breath, suppressed the itch in his throat, and stared at Song Chengzhang.

"If you stay in the cave obediently, I will spare your life.

But you came to the capital and wanted to steal everything that belongs to me!

Then I won’t forgive you!

Don't think you could get away with it last time, you can do the same this time!

This time, I will make sure you die without a burial place!

And the three of you actually betrayed me!"

The counterfeit glared at King Kang, King Jing and King An, his teeth almost breaking.

"Bah! You fake bastard, you have no sense of shame at all and you are so self-righteous!

You have taken everything our father has! None of it belongs to you!

You are a thief! You are a thief! These are the things you stole! None of them belong to you!

Your heart is so twisted, no wonder the late emperor chose our biological father among you twins!

You were not supposed to be alive in the first place. You were supposed to be dead when you were chosen!"

Prince An was extremely angry when he learned the whole story. Now that everything was clear, he started cursing at the impostor.

The counterfeit was so angry that he fell back and spat out a mouthful of black blood!

"You bastard! You bastard!"

Prince An sneered, "Evil son? You are not my biological father at all, what qualifications do you have to say this?!

What? I just told you the truth, and you can't stand it?

Are you vomiting black blood? If I piss you off to death today, all the ancestors of our Song family will say that I did a good job! "

The counterfeit was so angry that he fell down on the dragon chair, looking like he was about to suffocate.

King Kang and King Jing on the side looked at King An in surprise.

They had never expected that their seventh brother was so eloquent.

Why didn't you see it before?

The counterfeit took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms with trembling hands and swallowed three black pills in a row.

"Someone, come here! Arrest all these people for me!"

After taking the pill, the counterfeit regained a little strength and immediately shouted to his people.

But after he shouted, there was no movement in the imperial study.

He was still surrounded by the royal guards.

"Someone, come here! Where are my secret guards?! Fuquan, why are you standing with these rebels?!

I order you to come and protect me!"

The fake's eyes were red, his face looked somewhat ferocious, and he roared in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Eunuch Fuquan hid behind Prince Kang.

"I only protect the emperor. You are not the emperor in name only. Why should I protect you?"

The fake one gnashed his teeth, "Okay, okay! You are all fine! Someone come! Someone come quickly! Cough cough cough"

The counterfeit shouted hysterically and suddenly started coughing violently.

This looks as embarrassing as it needs to be.

But no one present sympathized with him, and everyone just watched coldly.

People who steal other people's lives are not worthy of sympathy.

If nothing had happened, Song Chengzhang might still have some brotherly feelings towards his twin brother.

But now, after more than a decade of house arrest, he learned that his son was half killed by his twin brother.

Song Chengzhang no longer had any so-called brotherly feelings for him.

He doesn't deserve it.

"You don't need to shout anymore. Your people have already betrayed you."

King Kang looked at the embarrassed impostor coldly and ordered the royal guards in a cold voice, "Catch him and send him to jail!"

The royal guards surrounding the impostor agreed and were ready to take action immediately.

But at this moment, the imposter spoke.

"Wait! I have something to show you. If you don't see it, you will regret it!"

The fake's cloudy and red eyes were full of profound meaning.

Song Chengzhang frowned. Perhaps it was the telepathic connection between the twins that made him feel something was wrong.

He was about to speak, but it was too late.

With a "bang" sound, a burst of white smoke spread out in the imperial study, blocking everyone's vision.
