After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

"Let them do whatever they want. There is no need to stop them. Just report their movements to me in a timely manner."

Yao Jing didn't care at all. What a greedy and stupid woman. She schemed against him once and thought she could succeed every time. How ridiculous.

He didn't take the mother and son to heart, but instead paid more attention to another matter.

Mingjin is already married, and the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, the Marquis of Mingyao's Mansion, and the Duke of Rong's Mansion are all ready. It's time to let the truth of what happened back then come to light and return everything that that man has taken by dishonorable means.

After Yao Jing finished disguising himself, he went to Mingyao Marquis's Mansion in person and met Chu Tengzheng in the study of the mansion.

"Are your troops ready to go in? And the spies in the palace. The Zhennan Palace is ready and can take action at any time."

Chu Tengzheng looked at the portrait of Chu Xiaoxiao hanging in the study, a trace of heartache and strong nostalgia welling up in his eyes. He thought of Chu Yanyi's frequent heart attacks, and the deep hatred roared in his blood.

"Mingyaohou Mansion has been prepared, and the evidence has been clearly collected. The only thing left is to let Mingjin and the Queen Mother know. When the evidence is laid out in front of the world, that will be the moment when Li Shicheng will be ruined."

Chu Tengzheng hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, do you think Mingjin will be able to accept this? What if he doesn't want to take revenge? And Yang Yufei, is she willing to be involved in this incident?"

"He's a newlywed now. I'll tell him after he calms down a little in a few days. Mingjin has always been a sensible child. I think he will accept all this."

The hatred for killing his father is irreconcilable, not to mention that the Crown Princess was tortured so badly back then, how could he let the culprit go.

"Li Shicheng is such an ungrateful villain. No matter who I push to the top, I will take his head. Your Majesty, as for Mingjin, I hope you can let him know the truth as soon as possible and cooperate with our actions."

Chu Tengzheng has endured for so many years and finally has the chance to avenge his sister. He will not miss such a good opportunity.

"I will quickly deploy spies and troops, and we will slowly adjust. We must have a legitimate reason to not be accused of rebellion. Perhaps, we should reveal some of what Li Shicheng did back then to make him panic first, so that he will naturally make more mistakes."

Yao Jing told his plan.

The two discussed many things and reached a lot of consensus. More than an hour later, Yao Jing left Mingyaohou Mansion.

Yang Yufei lived a comfortable life after marriage. With Yao Mingjin's guidance, she quickly gained control of the power in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion. No blind servants made things difficult for her, allowing her to handle the affairs in the backyard with ease.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The couple's relationship became sweeter and closer. Everyone in the palace knew that the Crown Prince and his wife were particularly affectionate and had the best relationship in the palace.

That day, Yao Jing called Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei to the study with a serious look on his face.

"Mingjin, Yufei, I have something very important to tell you. It's about Mingjin. Be prepared and don't be scared."

"Dad, what's going on? You look like the sky is falling. Could it be that I'm not your son, and you want to deprive me of my position as the crown prince?"

Yao Mingjin wanted to ease the tense atmosphere, so he asked in a deliberately nonchalant tone.

Yang Yufei couldn't help pinching the flesh on her husband's waist and scolded him in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Is that a joke? If you're not my son, how can you be the prince of Zhennan? You've received so much love and cultivation from my father, are you crazy?"

Yao Mingjin immediately stopped joking, "Dad, don't take it to heart. I'm used to talking nonsense. I was wrong today."

Yao Jing was indeed not angry, but what he said next sent a storm of emotions through Yao Mingjin's heart, and he was so shocked that he almost couldn't recover.

"Mingjin, you are indeed not my son."

When these words were spoken, Yao Mingjin and Yang Yufei's faces changed. What kind of secret was this? Her mother-in-law cheated on her father-in-law, and her father-in-law knew about it, but he still endured it for so many years?

This incident shocked her brain so much that she couldn't think anymore.

"Dad, this is not a joke. Mingjin is not your son, whose son is he? I don't believe that Dad can willingly give him the position of Crown Prince. Don't say such things anymore. I don't want to hear them."

Yao Jing's expression was more serious than before, and he looked at Yao Mingjin with eyes full of heartache. "Don't be scared by my words. Mingjin is indeed not my son. I am very clear-headed and know what I am saying."

Yao Mingjin seemed to be frozen. He stared at Yao Jing's face, and after making sure that he was not joking, his expression became serious.

"Then whose son am I? Dad knew my background, so why was he willing to raise me as his own son, hired a great teacher to teach me both literary and military strategies, and gave me all his fatherly love? Dad, I can't believe that there is a man so great that he would raise a son for someone else so purely."

Yao Jing looked at his son's handsome face and thought of the scene when he was brought to him covered in blood.

"Your father is Prince Yide, and your mother is the Crown Prince's wife. Mingjin, you are of royal blood. The Marquis of Mingyao Marquis' Mansion is your uncle."

Fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of Yao Mingjin's palms, as if he was trapped in a horrible dream and had no way of waking up.

Yang Yufei held his hand with heartache, giving him unlimited courage and strength.

"Dad, what happened? Tell us in detail. We want to know the whole truth." She was calmer and cooler than Yao Mingjin.

"I vaguely remember that my parents loved each other very much. When I was very young, they took me to a small border town to play, bought me delicious candy figurines, and took me to eat at the best restaurants. Now my father told me that I am not his son. Why do I feel that this is ridiculous, as if I am dreaming?"

Yao Jing felt bad seeing Yao Mingjin was about to cry, but he had to face the reality.

"When you were four years old, the emperor took action against your father. He colluded with the eunuchs around your father to poison him and killed him. Your mother held you in her arms and witnessed your father's tragic death."

"You were too young. When you saw the blood flowing in the East Palace, your father died with his eyes wide open. Your mother was worried that you would fall into the hands of the emperor and have no chance of survival. So she asked her most loyal maid and eunuch to take you out of the palace through the secret passage. You experienced many pursuits along the way, shook off the assassins sent by the emperor, and came to the southern border."

"At that time, the princess and I's child had just caught a cold and died. Your mother's maid sent you to me and the princess, begging us to adopt you and raise you safely."

"My princess was immersed in the grief of losing her son at that time. When she saw you, who was of the same age as her, she naturally felt sorry for your experience, so she discussed it with me and adopted you."

Yao Mingjin looked at his grown-up son and he also wished that Mingjin was his biological son, but unfortunately he was not.

"My wife and I were afraid that the emperor's people would find out the news, so we concealed the news of our child's death and raised you as our own son. Because Prince Yide is kind-hearted, far-sighted, and treats the people and officials well, we don't want his only son to die in the struggle for imperial power."

Yao Jing seemed to recall the brutal pursuit again, "What's more, my princess and your mother are distant cousins. She also wants to adopt you."

Unfortunately, his wife missed her deceased son so much that she died of depression in less than a year.
