After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Xiao Yuheng looked at Jiang Ruoli who walked in with a frown.

What is this woman doing here?

"Li'er?" Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan looked at her in surprise.

"Li'er, go back quickly, this is not the place for you!"

Duke Jiang frowned tightly, feeling nervous.

Although the Imperial Guards have turned against us now, who knows if Xiao Yuheng has any other tricks up his sleeve?

Xiao Yuheng's forcing the emperor to abdicate today was unexpected but also reasonable.

He has been coveting the position of crown prince for many years. Now that Xiao Yujing is dead, how could he remain calm?

But no matter what the outcome of this matter is, Li'er must not be involved.

"Listen to your father and go home quickly!" Duke Jiang said seriously.

Jiang Ruoli waved her hand and spoke softly:

"Don't worry, Dad. Li'er came here to report something important."

As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Emperor Chengren.

"This is..." Emperor Chengren was a little confused.

Raising her head again, Jiang Ruoli's eyes were firm and she spoke coldly:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia and the former Crown Princess gave birth on the same day. He Zongsheng was malicious and swapped their children. Xiao Yuheng..."

"He is not your biological son at all, but the orphan of the late crown prince!"

"What did you say!!!"

Emperor Chengren was struck by lightning and stood there in shock.

Everyone in the hall seemed to be frozen in silence.

Xiao Yuheng was even more shocked. He didn't expect Jiang Ruoli to be able to find out about this matter...

No, that's not right.

This matter must have been discovered by Xiao Yujing and told her.

Xiao Yuheng narrowed his eyes.

You are so good, Xiao Yujing, you won’t let him go even after he died.

But so what? No one would believe Jiang Ruoli's words alone.

Xiao Yuheng had a gloomy face and rebuked coldly:

"Princess Leping, I know that you had a deep relationship with my brother. You must be very sad about his passing, but you don't have to throw dirty water on me like this, right?"

He shifted the focus of what she said to that Jiang Ruoli was maliciously slandering him because she was too sad.

Everyone was shocked again.

Princess Leping and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a deep relationship... Is that what they mean?

Jiang Ci Yan came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Ruoli.

"Little sister, do you know what the crime is for wantonly slandering the royal family?"

Even though Xiao Yuheng has been kicked out of the clan, he is still your majesty's bloodline, and anyone who slanders him without authorization will be beheaded.

Emperor Chengren came back to his senses from a trance and looked at Jiang Ruoli with complicated eyes.

"Princess Leping, please don't say anything careless. I will not take this matter seriously because you are young and ignorant..."

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Ruoli said calmly, "Since this subject dares to say this, she must have sufficient evidence."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to bring in a witness."

Emperor Chengren frowned tightly and said coldly: "Then call a witness."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Jiang Ruoli with contempt.

What witnesses? All the people who participated in the child swap are dead. What witnesses can she find?

There were footsteps at the door and everyone looked over.

I saw an elderly woman leaning on a cane, trembling as she followed the young eunuch in.

The contempt on Xiao Yuheng's face became even more intense.

This is the witness she is looking for? An old cripple?

But when he saw the person coming, Zheng Ye's eyes were full of horror.

She... isn't she dead?!

Emperor Chengren was equally shocked.

He looked the other person up and down, and said in disbelief:

"You are... Nanny Jiang?"

Granny Jiang fell to her knees with a plop.

"This old servant pays homage to Your Majesty!" His voice trembled.

Emperor Chengren was full of astonishment, "Madam Jiang, didn't you retire and return home? Why are you......"

Why so miserable?

Seeing Emperor Chengren's reaction, Xiao Yuheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that this old woman is really related to his life experience?

No, no, he couldn't lose his composure...

When Granny Jiang heard Emperor Chengren's question, she burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I am sorry to Your Majesty..."

Emperor Chengren paused when he heard this, and felt inexplicably panicked.

"What do you mean, Madam Jiang?"

Granny Jiang wiped her tears and spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, when Concubine Jia gave birth to a son, it was because of this old servant that I was obsessed with this matter..."

Granny Jiang recounted what happened that year word by word.

The more Emperor Chengren listened, the more frightened he became.

"Madam Jiang, how dare you!"

Granny Jiang knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my crime is unforgivable and death is not a pity. I beg Your Majesty to punish me..."

Emperor Chengren sat heavily on the dragon throne, struggling to digest this fact.

The son he raised for seventeen years turned out to be that person?

"Then...where is my son?"

Emperor Chengren spoke in an obscure voice.

Grandma Jiang glanced at Jiang Ruoli, and Jiang Ruoli nodded to her.

"Your Majesty, He Zongsheng was cruel and inhumane back then and wanted to kill the little prince. Fortunately, the little prince survived and now... he is serving in the palace." Grandma Jiang said.

Working in the palace?

Emperor Chengren's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an absurd thought suddenly came to his mind.

The next moment, Grandma Jiang's voice was heard.

"The real Third Prince is the leader of the Royal Guards—"

"Lu Jinzhou."

wow——

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Emperor Chengren looked at Lu Jinzhou in disbelief.

He...he is actually...

Lu Jinzhou was very calm at this moment. He was not at all disturbed by Grandma Jiang's words.

I don’t know if he already knew it or just didn’t care.

Instead, it was Xiao Yuheng who was not calm.

"You are talking nonsense! How can I not be the son of my father? Who on earth has instructed you to slander me?"

"Father, please don't listen to her. She is deceiving you, Father!"

The court officials looked at Xiao Yuheng and Lu Jinzhou with complicated expressions, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Zheng Ye" was hiding at the back of the crowd, with deep eyes.

Eunuch Luo was sweating profusely. He looked at Granny Jiang anxiously, "Granny Jiang, this is a serious matter. Do you have any evidence?"

"I have it." Granny Jiang said firmly, "When the little prince was born, he had a red birthmark on his lower back. I remember it clearly. But the child who was swapped had a clean body and no birthmarks."

There was an undercurrent in Emperor Chengren's eyes.

Nanny Jiang was right. He also remembered the obvious birthmark on the child's body when he was born, but later... He Tingjia never let him see Xiao Yuheng without clothes again, not even when he was a baby.

"Birthmark? I remember that Chief Lu has a red birthmark on his lower back..." a royal guard suddenly whispered.

"Yes, I've seen him in the bathroom before." Another royal guard also said.

"Yes, yes, I have seen it too..."

Lu Jinzhou climbed up from the lowest position in the Imperial Guard and used to eat and live together with everyone else, so it was no secret that he had a birthmark on his body.

Emperor Chengren's eyes were always on Lu Jinzhou.

This is his son, his biological son...

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, he actually came to be his guard.

This is God's will! God's will makes them father and son no longer separated...
