Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

After Lu Zhanxing's daughter turned one year old, she and her brother devoted themselves to the great cause.

And thinking that the Fourth Prince was no longer a threat, he asked his brother to give him a fatal blow and teach Su Xianxin a lesson at the same time.

In the past, the Fourth Prince and Su Xianxin had always opposed Lu Zhanyan. Now that he could embarrass the Fourth Prince, he naturally agreed.

So he asked people to mobilize the female army that Chu Yao had previously deployed. Although two of them were just cleaning maids, they were not useless.

The two cleaning maids took advantage of the two jealous concubines of the princess to stroll in the garden and chatted in moderately loud voices.

"Have you noticed that the little prince looks more and more like Mr. Tan?"

"So you figured it out too? I figured it out a long time ago, especially the eyes and eyebrows that look very much like Mr. Tan. I also know some unknown secrets." The maid said mysteriously in a neither loud nor soft voice: "On the day when the prince and princess got married, I saw Mr. Tan go to the princess's bridal chamber with my own eyes. What do you think..."

Another maid quickly covered her mouth and said in horror: "Are you trying to save your life? How dare you say such a thing?"

"I'm telling you, I've been holding this in my heart for a long time. Forget it, it's none of our business."

The two maids looked at each other and realized that the two concubines behind the rockery had almost heard it, so they went back to their cleaning work seriously.

When the two concubines heard such important news, they stopped strolling around the garden and started discussing countermeasures after returning. Now that the prince and the princess were very affectionate, they, the concubines, seemed to be completely forgotten, so they were naturally dissatisfied with the princess.

Now that I can catch her, I will definitely not let her go.

The two concubines did not act rashly, but secretly observed the two-year-old prince, and found that the more they looked, the more he looked like Tan Ling.

It is confirmed that this child is the son of the traitor Tan Ling.

The two men thought they had caught the princess and were very excited.

But they are not stupid and will not tell such things personally, otherwise the prince will lose face and they will have no way to survive.

So he bribed a few maids around the prince and asked them to reveal the secret inadvertently.

Once, Prince Ping came out of the princess's courtyard and heard two maids gossiping.

"The prince is truly the most gentle man in the world. He is so kind to the princess. I really envy him."

When King Ping heard the compliments, he could not help but stop and want to listen more.

"Isn't it? The princess is so lucky. She has a good man like the prince to accompany her, and she also has a son by her side. Who can compare to her?"

"Yes, but... have you noticed a problem? The little prince doesn't look like a princess, nor a prince. Instead, he looks a bit like the wanted Mr. Tan..."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe he looks like the late emperor."

The two of them quickly shut up and began to focus on the task at hand.

But this topic had already pierced Prince Ping's heart, and he could not help but go back to the courtyard. Su Xianxin was holding her son and learning to read. Seeing the prince coming back, she was very confused: "Prince?"

King Ping stared at his son in her arms, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like Tan Ling. He remembered that his life was short. After so many years, only Su Xianxin was pregnant, while none of the other concubines were pregnant.

Seeing that the prince was staring at his son, Su Xianxin's heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked the nurse to take her son away, and then she said with a smile: "Prince...ah..."

Su Xianxin was suddenly slapped in the face. She was caught off guard and fell to the side of the table. She looked at him in disbelief, "My Lord, why did you hit me?"

"What for? Tell me, when did you and Tan Ling start to have an affair?"

Su Xianxin was startled and forced herself to remain calm: "My Lord, what did you say? Ah..."

Prince Ping grabbed her hair. He had clearly seen the change in Su Xianxin's pupils just now. When he thought that he was raising a son for his enemy, he was filled with resentment: "You are still quibbling. That child looks more and more like Tan Ling. Do you think I can fool you?"

"Your Majesty, that's not true. Ming'er is really your son!"

"You are still being stubborn. Come, arrest all the maids around the princess and interrogate them strictly." After Prince Ping gave the order, he had Su Xianxin locked up and had two trusted maids interrogate her secretly.

Even though King Ping already had the answer in his mind, he still didn't want to make it known to everyone.

In less than three days, the pampered Su Xianxin could no longer bear the torture and revealed the truth, saying that she was forced by Tan Ling and she didn't want to...

Finally getting the definite answer, King Ping was furious. He felt that he had been fooled by this bitch. No wonder she was so gentle and considerate to him during this period. She was so considerate because she knew that Tan Ling had committed a crime and was afraid that the matter would be exposed, not because she was sincere to him.

King Ping had an extremely gloomy expression on his face. He ordered someone to give the child a cup of poison. He didn't want to see the two bastards give birth to a child.

As for Su Xianxin, King Ping hated her so much. She was so beautiful once, but now she has grown up to be so miserable. He wanted to kill Su Xianxin suddenly, but when he thought of the innocent little girl who had helped him, he couldn't bear to let her die.

Perhaps because she knew that her betrayal had made the prince angry, she also burst out with the desire to survive: "Prince, this is all my fault. At that time, I was poisoned by Tan Ling's medicine and could not escape at all. I know that all this is unforgivable. I beg you to give me a chance. Isn't Lu Zhanyan plotting a rebellion? I can use our previous friendship to drug him and let him die..."

After hearing this, Prince Ping really stopped worrying about letting her die, and instead asked coldly, "Will Lu Zhanyan still believe you?"

"Lu Zhanyan and I have known each other for a while. As long as I say that you, my Lord, have kicked me out of the mansion and I have nowhere to go, I will go find my sister first. Then, I will gain their trust, get close to Lu Zhanyan, and then poison him.

As long as Lu Zhanyan dies, the court crisis can be resolved. Your Majesty has made great contributions, and His Majesty will definitely treat you differently!"

It has to be said that these words still moved King Ping.

In his previous life, Lu Zhanyan was just a high-ranking official, but in this life he rebelled because of his rebirth.

How can I be willing to accept that my enemy not only does not get retribution but also wants to take over?

"If you can really kill Lu Zhanyan, I will spare your life! I won't care about the past."

"Yes, I will definitely complete this task."

Su Xianxin looked confident on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that it would be best to obtain Lu Zhanyan's forgiveness and then let Lu Zhanyan take her as a concubine. When Lu Zhanyan ascended the throne, she would at least be able to get a position as a concubine.

“A-choo!!”

At this time, Lu Zhanyan was discussing the attack on the capital in the tent when he suddenly sneezed.

Lu Zhanxing asked with concern: "Brother, have you caught a cold?"

Lu Zhanyan shook his head and sneezed for no apparent reason: "No problem!"

"Now that Jingzhou has been captured, we can lead the army to attack the capital."

At this moment, Lu Zhanyan's eyes flashed with ambition to win.
