Guan Ke's eyes were red. He pulled Wei Zheng over and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Cui, please continue."

Under the dim candlelight, King Dongzhi's face was blurry. The soft light enveloped his face, very softly.

This story happened a long time ago.

"Miss Wen Li from the Wen family is the adopted daughter of the late King Dongzhi. The late Princess Dongzhi was injured after giving birth to the prince, and it was difficult for her to get pregnant. For the sake of long-term planning, the couple could only adopt a girl as a precaution."

"But... I never expected...

Unexpectedly, the young lady became more and more beautiful as she grew older, and even the couple's only son, Wen Li's brother, fell deeply in love with her.

However, the two of them were siblings to the outside world. The first Dongzhi King and his wife did not take good care of the young lady, and the young master kept pursuing her.

Later, the first lady found out about this and decided to find a wife for the young master. However, the young master was unwilling. The first lady also threatened Wen Li's life. After weighing the pros and cons, the young master had to take a step back and take Madam Xi as his concubine.

I thought that this would help the young master to calm down and stop paying attention to the young lady."

Mr. Cui shook his head.

The young master was obsessed with her and would not give up so easily.

"Later, Madam Xi felt that the young master was cold and indifferent. After several attempts, she finally discovered the trick. Jealousy continued to take over, so she set fire to the young lady's house. When the beams broke, the young lady was trapped in the burning house.

It was the young master who rushed in despite the fire, risking his own death, and rescued the people, and then threw Madam Xi into the burning house, leaving her to die...”

Ning Rongzhang was amazed that the King of Toshiba, who was so low-key, was actually a man who would risk his life for the woman he loved.

Elder Cui drooped his body and said, "The young lady was injured in the fire, and I was the court doctor who went to treat her." Memories flooded into his mind, and the shocking scenes seemed to have happened yesterday, "I... I actually felt a pulse of pregnancy in the young lady..."

Wei Zhengru felt hit on the head, blood rushed to her head, and goose bumps appeared on her arms, neck and face. "What did you say?"

Old Cui's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have mustered up the courage to look Wei Zheng in the eye, "Miss, please don't let me tell anyone. From now on, this secret will be buried with me and will never see the light of day again... Fate is playing tricks on me..." He had to live so long, and the prince had to be deceived twice.

This matter that even the young master didn't know was finally revealed. Even if the young lady has eyes in heaven, she will not be able to rest in peace.

"What nonsense... How is it possible... This is impossible..." Wei Zheng shook his head evasively. He didn't dare to look anyone in the eye. As he was about to walk out, Ning Rongzhang suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Wei Zheng didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he met Ning Rongzhang's clear and honest eyes. "You said my mother had an affair with the Dongzhi brothers and sisters?! You said I was actually an illegitimate child who couldn't be seen in public?! You said I was actually a joke in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?! Ning Rongzhang, you are all liars!"

When Guan Ke heard the three words Ning Rongzhang, his expression suddenly froze. Ning Rongzhang - the former Prince Changyou, now the Regent.

The wooden door outside the house creaked, and Madam Xi came in like a wandering soul, with disheveled hair and a dull expression. She laughed, "You admit it? You finally admit it?! Hahahaha - brother and sister having an affair, that's a joke! It's a joke! Wei Zheng! You are her son, hahaha - your mother... didn't she tell you who your father is?!"

"Evil will be punished! Evil will be punished! Wen Li, did you see it? You must have seen it!" Madam Xi pointed at the roof and laughed wantonly, "You two had an affair without a matchmaker and committed a heinous crime. I am the only one who has pity on you two. I am the only one who has been kept in the dark by you two and has been alone in the empty room for so many years..."

"After the fire, Wen Li was sent to Kyoto by the old lady and left to fend for himself..." Madam Xi turned around and trotted to King Dongzhi. Guan Ke stepped forward immediately, fearing that this crazy woman would do something to the prince.

"Look, you have a son for so many years! Wen Li has been dead for so many years, why do you still miss her?!" Madam Xi stroked his face, tears slowly flowing down her cheeks, "Your Highness... You will never see my love for you, but you see, I am still good to you. I found your child with her, didn't I?"

Guan Ke drew his sword and angrily asked, "It was you, the vicious woman, who murdered the prince?"

Madam Xi raised her eyes innocently, "Why? It's just a twin attraction. I had this idea the first time I saw Wei Zheng. Look... isn't this a trick?"

Ning Rongzhang stepped forward and asked, "Why do you doubt it?"

Madam Xi smiled foolishly, the Buddhist beads on her hand scattered all over the floor due to her excessive struggle. She pointed at him fiercely with her long fingers, "You all think Wei Zheng looks like Wen Li, but look at him now, he clearly looks a little like the prince! They are just siblings with no blood relationship, how could Wei Zheng look like the prince?"

"After Wen Li arrived in Kyoto, she married Ning Yuanhou and gave birth to a child after being pregnant for seven months. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

Wei Zheng was shocked. He was indeed a premature baby. No one in the mansion had ever hidden this from him.

"Cough-cough-"

A cough that no one paid attention to suddenly appeared and disappeared. Cui Lao shook his hands and said, "There is no time to lose. Saving the prince is the most important thing."

Wei Zheng rushed out of the door like a madman, bumped into Ji Mengshu head-on, then dodged him and just ran out.

Ning Rongzhang chased after him for two steps, but was pulled back by Ji Mengshu. "He can't run far. Let him calm down. He will come back naturally when he figures it out."

Guan Ke placed Madam Xi under house arrest in the East Garden, and she could only decide her fate after the prince woke up.

Ning Rongzhang's men found Wei Zheng by the moat, where the cool breeze of the summer night could blow away all one's thoughts.

"A Zhang, have you guessed it a long time ago?"

The cool stars fell into his eyes, and the stars were scattered all over his eyes. Ji Mengshu followed him out and just watched from a distance, "Guessed five points."

"Are you laughing at me?"

Ning Rongzhang raised his eyes, "Why should I laugh at you? Prince Dongzhi and Madam Wen... things have come to this point. Madam Wen hid it from everyone and fled to Kyoto. She probably didn't want you to be implicated."

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Are you saying that she cares about me?"

"Don't you care about you?" If she didn't care about the baby in her belly, could she risk her life to escape from Toshiba and escape from the control of the young master? Even if she married far away in Kyoto, even if she hurriedly married a man who didn't love her at all and she didn't love him either, just to give the baby in her belly a legitimate identity? After that, she never told Wei Zheng his true identity...
