Shen Feng kept muttering, his face changing from gloomy to bright. He had never doubted his mother. How could that gentle and kind mother be involved in a rebellion?

"I don't believe it! This must be a misunderstanding! You must have checked it wrong. My mother would never be that kind of person!" Shen Feng stepped forward, grabbed Shen Siyan's shoulders with both hands, and shook him hard.

"That's right, you must have checked it wrong! How can you check it clearly for something that happened so long ago? Si Yan, can you check it again?

"The people of the previous dynasty were exiled to the frontier when the dynasty changed, and it is impossible for them to stay in the capital!" Shen Feng shouted in his heart, refusing to accept this fact.

Shen Siyan stared at his brother Shen Feng, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

The memory of his past life was still vivid in his mind, and his elder brother did not understand the truth until the last moment. This cruel fact was now before his eyes.

“I saw it all.”

Shen Siyan's voice broke the silence and completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in Shen Feng's heart.

"They discovered my identity a long time ago and began to plan everything, using a curse to control me, intending to restore my identity as the eldest prince."

Shen Feng's body trembled involuntarily, as if he had lost all his strength, and his hands fell limply. Shen Siyan hurriedly supported his shaking brother.

Suddenly, Shen Feng grabbed Shen Siyan's arm tightly, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, but he couldn't utter a word.

"Brother, we must stop this. We can't let the capital fall into bloodshed again, and we can't let innocent people suffer again." Shen Siyan sighed.

Shen Feng's body trembled again, and he spoke after a long while: "Unless I see it with my own eyes, I don't believe that my mother is a remnant of the previous dynasty!"

"Master Shen, this is the truth."

Ye Yunzi at the side couldn't help but interrupt. She knew that such news was hard for anyone to accept, but the reality could not be ignored and action must be taken as soon as possible.

Shen Siyan gently shook his head to stop Ye Yunzi, signaling her not to say anything more. Ye Yunzi nodded in understanding.

"I don't believe it, Si Yan, I really don't believe it." Shen Feng repeated stubbornly.

Shen Siyan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Well, I'll let you see the truth with your own eyes, about the real identity of the eldest lady."

At this time, Madam Shen was preparing to follow Lord Yin's order and give Shen Siyan, who was controlled by the poison, the task of assassinating the emperor today. They were completely unaware that Shen Siyan had already escaped from the control of the poison.

Ye Yunzi quietly left the Ye Mansion and returned to Yichaxuan to wait for developments.

Shen Siyan brought Shen Feng to his own yard.

He was agile and could move freely in the mansion even with a person without being discovered by the spies arranged by Lord Yin. Shen Siyan hid Shen Feng behind the screen.

"Don't make any noise here," he warned.

Shen Feng nodded silently. He knew that in order to prove whether his mother was a remnant of the previous dynasty, he had to hide himself and not be noticed by anyone.

He looked at the yard that had been off-limits for several months with mixed feelings. He couldn't believe what he saw, but he also deeply sympathized with what his brother had been through.

Shen Siyan walked to the center of the room as usual and sat on the futon.

His expression was calm, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Today, the eldest lady will personally convey an important mission - assassinating the emperor.

He knew that only by letting his eldest brother witness this moment with his own eyes could he truly believe every word he said.

This truth will be a heavy blow to Big Brother, but it is the only way to prevent the tragedy of history from repeating itself.

Shen Siyan hopes that his elder brother can survive and not be dragged into the abyss by the remnants of the past dynasty.

Behind the screen, Shen Feng's eyes were fixed on his brother, his face was pale and his breathing was rapid.

If it was true as Si Yan said, his mother was actually a member of the remnants of the previous dynasty and was planning a rebellion. This made him feel suffocated, and his hands involuntarily grasped his collar.

How could he accept such a fact? The Shen family had been innocent for generations, so how could his mother bear the name of treason?

Shen Feng closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly, cold as ice, as if the whole world had become cold and ruthless. He felt an unprecedented despair.

Sensing his brother's emotional fluctuations, Shen Siyan opened his eyes and chose to remain silent after hesitating for a moment.

He knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. Only by seeing everything with his own eyes would his elder brother be convinced. However, he was worried whether his elder brother's body could withstand the shock.

With a heavy heart, Shen Siyan waited. The sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts - it was her, Mrs. Shen.

The door hinge made a slight sound, and Mrs. Shen slowly walked into the room with an old man.

Shen Feng behind the screen peeked through the gap, the light was reflected back, and he couldn't see the face of the person coming. As they gradually approached, Shen Feng's heart sank.

The familiar figure eliminated his last glimmer of hope.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and Shen Feng could hardly breathe. Why? Why was all this so real?

Mrs. Shen smiled with satisfaction when she saw her son sitting steadily on the cushion.

Her plan was about to come true. As soon as the old emperor died, a new era would begin. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Guiguzi stepped into the room, his brows slightly furrowed.

There was a scent in the air that did not belong to Shen Siyan. Although Mrs. Shen was unaware of it, this small detail did not escape his eyes.

He looked around quickly and finally fixed his eyes on Shen Siyan.

He wondered in his heart, what was behind this? Since there was no sign of poisoning, he should have been able to sense the presence of someone else in the house.

Could it be that this person was specially arranged by Shen Siyan?

Thinking of this, Guiguzi's expression became more serious. However, he decided not to reveal this secret for the time being. Regarding Shen Siyan's affairs, choosing to remain silent seems to be a better strategy.

He relaxed his brows slightly, remaining expressionless on the surface.

At this time, Mrs. Shen turned around, glanced at the old man behind her who exuded a cold aura, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

She didn't like the stale smell of the old man, and if it wasn't for a bigger plan, she would never want to deal with such a character.

"Old sir, we need you to give Shen Siyan an instruction." Mrs. Shen said.

Guiguzi's face looked a little gloomy: "Mrs. Shen, please speak."

Mrs. Shen stared at Guiguzi, her eyes as sharp as a knife, as if to pierce through his soul.

The assassination of the emperor was a serious matter and no leaks could be allowed. If the old man had second thoughts, their entire plan would be ruined.

However, Guiguzi is loyal to the Princess of Nanyue, and the princess's goals are currently consistent with theirs, so there should be no problem.

After a brief silence, Mrs. Shen finally spoke: "This matter is extremely critical."

Guiguzi sneered twice: "Everything I do, which one is not crucial?"

Indeed, Mrs. Shen relaxed a little. After all, they were all in the same boat and no one could betray easily.
