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

Emperor Chengren slowly walked down the steps and stood in front of Lu Jinzhou.

Emperor Chengren's eyes were filled with tears at this time, and he touched Lu Jinzhou's face with trembling hands.

This face does look three-quarters like him, but more like He Tingjia.

No wonder he always felt that Lu Jinzhou was friendly to him.

He had been by his side for so long, how come he hadn't noticed?

"Child, you have suffered..." Emperor Chengren said in a trembling voice.

Lu Jinzhou looked at the person in front of him whom he had always looked up to.

When he was very young, his parents told him that he was adopted. He lived a happy life in the Lu family and did not care who his biological parents were.

But when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to him and told him his life story, he was still shocked.

The majestic figure that he looked up to and protected turned out to be his father.

Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him if he wanted to return to his ancestral home, but he thought about it and refused.

He is not a greedy person. Life is good now and he is very content.

I just didn't expect that this matter would be exposed under today's circumstances.

However, he did not blame Princess Leping. He understood that her actions today were out of helplessness. If she didn't say anything, Xiao Yuheng might really become the next crown prince.

Lu Jinzhou pursed his lips, "Your Majesty..."

"Call me Father." Emperor Chengren looked at him without blinking.

Lu Jinzhou's lips moved, and he spoke in a trembling voice: "Father..."

Hearing the word "Father", Emperor Chengren burst into tears.

The scene of loving father and filial son before his eyes deeply hurt Xiao Yuheng's eyes.

"Father, don't be fooled by him!"

"I am your biological son, Father!"

Xiao Yuheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

Emperor Chengren's face darkened. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yuheng behind him with cold eyes.

"You've always known about this."

It's not a question, it's an affirmation.

"I......"

Xiao Yuheng choked and suddenly didn't know how to explain.

Emperor Chengren's expression became even uglier. "You have been occupying the position of the Third Prince, and now you even want me to make you the Crown Prince. This is simply a foolish dream!"

"Someone, take him down!"

The royal guards at the side took a few steps forward and pressed Xiao Yuheng tightly on both sides.

Xiao Yuheng struggled desperately but could not move. After a while he sneered.

"Father, you are old and your eyes are blurry and you can't recognize your own son, and now you blame me?"

"Shut up! Don't call me father anymore!" Emperor Chengren scolded coldly.

"Humph, are you angry because I said it right?" Xiao Yuheng said without restraint, "You have raised someone else's child for seventeen years, while your own son is wandering and suffering outside. How does it feel..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Chengren slapped him in the face.

Xiao Yuheng's head was hit sideways. He touched the corner of his lips with his tongue and tasted a faint smell of blood.

With a sneer on his face, he slowly turned his head, his eyes fierce.

"Father, if that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. You forced me to do all this!"

Emperor Chengren frowned, "What are you going to do!"

Xiao Yuheng's face was filled with madness, "Come out!"

The court officials were panicked, fearing that another group of assassins would appear like the Royal Guards just now.

Everyone waited for a while, but no one showed up.

Xiao Yuheng's expression paused.

Emperor Chengren looked at him with dissatisfaction, "What on earth are you trying to do?!"

Xiao Yuheng felt a little flustered. What on earth was going on? Hadn't those Beixin secret guards come yet? It had been more than half an hour!

He shouted again: "Come out quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice sounded from the door:

"Your Highness the Third Prince is looking for the Beixin Kingdom's secret guards?"

Jiang Ci'an rushed into the hall with a group of soldiers.

"Second brother!" Jiang Ruoli shouted in surprise.

"Young General Jiang!" The court officials looked at Jiang Ci'an in surprise.

Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan were extremely surprised, and then they were even more delighted.

"Second brother?! Aren't you..." dead?

Jiang Ci'an looked at his father and elder brother and gave them a calm look.

Jiang Ci'an walked quickly to Emperor Chengren and knelt down to salute.

"I am late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Emperor Chengren looked at Jiang Ci'an in astonishment, "General Jiang, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the Northern Xin Kingdom colluded with the Third Prince and He Mingrong to frame me. I and Deputy General Yuan decided to take advantage of their tricks. We did not intentionally spread false war reports. Your Majesty, please punish us."

Emperor Chengren understood.

It's good to be alive, there's no need to talk about whether to be blamed or not.

Xiao Yuheng looked at Jiang Ci'an in disbelief, "You are all lying to me?"

Jiang Ci'an snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince colluded with He Mingrong to the Northern Xin Kingdom and deliberately sought power and usurped the throne. His crime is punishable by death!"

Xiao Yuheng was very panicked, but he still managed to remain calm.

"You said that I was colluding with the Northern Xin Kingdom. What evidence do you have?"

"Of course I have the evidence." Jiang Ci'an waved his hand, "Bring it in!"

A group of soldiers came in, escorting a group of men in black.

Jiang Ci'an walked forward and pulled off the mask of the leading man in black.

"Your Majesty, these people are all secret guards trained by the Beixin royal family. I just captured them in the palace of the Third Prince."

Emperor Chengren narrowed his eyes and looked at the assassin in front of him who was obviously from Beixin.

"Xiao Yuheng, do you admit your guilt?"

Xiao Yuheng fell to his knees with a plop.

"Father, please don't believe this. This is all a false accusation! I don't know why they are in my palace. I am being wronged!"

Emperor Chengren was about to speak when Jiang Ruoli on the side spoke coldly:

"Unfair? Your Highness, don't you think this is very against your will?"

She walked slowly to Emperor Chengren and took out a small package from her sleeve.

Seeing the small package, Xiao Yuheng and "Zheng Ye" were both shocked.

How dare she...

Jiang Ruoli said word by word:

"Your Majesty, this was handed to me this morning. It contains the correspondence between the Third Prince and the Northern Xin Kingdom and the Lingyun Guard's expense account book."

"The other party asked me to put this package in my second brother's study. Fortunately, I opened it and took a look. I didn't expect that it would contain evidence of treason and collaborating with the enemy!"

Jiang Ruoli presented the package to Emperor Chengren and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, she was finally going to change the Jiang family's fate.

Emperor Chengren took the package and looked at the contents with a complicated expression.

Xiao Yuheng's arrogance was gone at this moment, and only endless panic remained in his eyes.

"Father, don't listen to her. These are all her things from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion! They have nothing to do with me, Father!"

He couldn't admit this, otherwise he would be really finished!

Emperor Chengren was furious. He looked at the signatures on the top two letters and closed his eyes heavily.

"You mean, the name on this letter was also written by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion? And this private seal was also stolen by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion?"

When Xiao Yuheng saw the seal, his eyes went dark.

"Zheng Ye" behind couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This idiot! He can't even handle such a small matter properly!

Emperor Chengren looked at the distraught Xiao Yuheng in front of him and didn't want to waste any more words with him.

"Take it off."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuheng laughed.

"Ha ha......"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

He laughed louder and louder, and everyone looked at him as if he was a fool.

Is this Xiao Yuheng crazy?
