Shizi's farm husband

"What is your relationship with King Zhennan?"

Xiao Zhiyuan's pupils shrank, and he turned his head to ask questions.

Xiao Zhiyuan didn't believe that such a coincidence would happen in the world, if it was said that the person in front of him had nothing to do with Zhennan King Xiao Zhishen, Xiao Zhiyuan would be the first to not believe it.

Is he really...

"The minister's original name was Xiao Junyan, but now it has been changed to Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling bluntly disclosed her identity in front of all the ministers, "This time I came to see the emperor with the help of military exploits, and I want to sue Qi Ye, the successor princess of Zhennan, for murdering my ministers back then."

"You, are you really Jun Yan?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's own admission, Xiao Zhiyuan still couldn't contain the shock on his face.

Because even he thought Xiao Ling was dead long ago.

Xiao Junyan, the eldest son of Zhennan Prince, was famous for his medicine jars. Almost all the doctors said that he would not live past fifteen years. But now, looking at Xiao Ling, who is obviously free from any illnesses, I have to say that the contrast is too great. big.

No wonder they reacted this way.

"how come……"

Compared with the surprised others, Xiao Junbo, who thought he would become the son of Zhennan Prince, had a look of shock and disbelief.

Qi Jingyuan's expression did not give way.

How could a dead person reappear in front of others?

"Yes."

Xiao Ling nodded and replied, "I don't know if the emperor still remembers the jade pendant you gave to the minister alone at the father's birthday banquet?"

"Your majesty, I think that with just a few words, it is impossible to prove that this inexplicable person is the missing son."

Qi Jingyuan questioned immediately.

Damn it, Xiao Junyan obviously passed away at that time, how could he still be alive?Could it be that Xiao Junyan is pretending?No, even if he is really Xiao Junyan, I will make him not.

While Qi Jingyuan made his decision secretly, he couldn't help regretting it.

Isn't this Xiao Ling the one who Qi Rui wrote to ask him to deal with?If he hadn't relaxed his vigilance because the other party was a farmer, he would never have appeared here today.

"Well, a single jade pendant really can't prove anything."

Xiao Zhiyuan touched his chin cautiously, and continued, "Apart from the jade pendant, what other things do you have to prove that you are Xiao Junyan?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Qi Jingyuan bowed hypocritically to Xiao Zhiyuan, secretly cast his cold eyes on Xiao Ling, and said, "It's been so many years, it's hard to guarantee that the matter of the jade pendant will not be known by others, so I can find a fake Xiao Junyan Come and pretend to be the son."

"Xiao Ling, right? Do you know that impersonating the emperor's relatives is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans? Besides, you have nothing to do with the weak and sick. How can you be the prince?"

"Your Majesty, I dare to use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee that Xiao Ling is the son of Prince Zhennan."

Du Shicheng bowed his hands solemnly.

"Du Shicheng."

Qi Jingyuan gritted his teeth angrily.

"That's enough, shut up." Xiao Zhiyuan scolded with a frown.

"Yes."

Under Xiao Zhiyuan's intervention, they kept their mouths shut, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two of them had no intention of compromising.

"I still say the same thing. If you don't have evidence, you are pretending to be a relative of the emperor, and you will be punished by copying and beheading."

"Your Majesty, please see."

Xiao Ling suddenly opened his neckline, brushed his hair, revealed the lightning birthmark on the back of his neck, and said, "Father once told me that only the eldest son of the royal family will have this birthmark on the back of my neck."

"Well, you are indeed Xiao Junyan."

Xiao Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.

It was only then that I remembered the ironclad evidence I had forgotten. Indeed, this is a secret of the Great Xia royal family, and it cannot be faked.

"Your Majesty, a birthmark..."

"Qi Aiqing, do you think I've read it wrong? Or are you saying that the lightning birthmark on the eldest son of the royal family is fake?"

Seeing that Qi Jingyuan still wanted to question, Xiao Zhiyuan's expression sank on the spot.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister definitely doesn't mean that."

"Then what are you questioning?"

"I don't dare." Qi Jingyuan knew that the overall situation was settled, so he could only grit his teeth and answer, but he was thinking of other ways in his heart, planning to save Qi Ye.

"Jun Yan, if the fourth brother sees that you are still there, he will be overjoyed."

Xiao Zhiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said curiously, "Yes, didn't you have been suffering from serious and minor illnesses before? Why, nothing happened now? Also, you just said that Qi Ye murdered you? What the hell is going on? What's going on?"

Because of Xiao Ling's appearance, it was so shocking that Xiao Zhiyuan only now recalled that Xiao Ling said that Qi Ye had murdered him just now.

"Your Majesty, the subject's illness and the subject's sudden disappearance were all caused by Qi Ye's secret orders."

Xiao Ling said every word.

"Don't be bloody. Ye'er has been educated since she was a child, and treats you like a parent. How could she murder you? I think the problem is with you, my son. Since you are fine, why haven't you returned to town?" Southern Palace?"

Qi Jingyuan asked sharply.

"Ah."

Xiao Ling sneered, "I just made it very clear. If I knew he was going to kill me and went back, wouldn't I be throwing myself into a trap? Lord Qi is really helping my relatives."

"Shut up all of them."

Xiao Zhiyuan frowned unhappily, "Go and pass on Qi Ye, I want to know what happened when Jun Yan disappeared."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch immediately ran to pass on Qi Ye.

soon.

Qi Ye behaved elegantly and walked over with a smile, but the moment he met Xiao Ling's eyes, Qi Ye's smile froze.

I want to calm down, he has no evidence, what can he do to me?

Under the hint of the eunuch, Qi Ye already knew the news of Xiao Ling's reappearance, but seeing that meeting with his own eyes, he still couldn't accept it, his eyes were full of resentment.

Doesn't Xiao Ling's appearance mean that his calculations over the years have been ruined?

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Qi Ye quickly adjusted his mood and saluted Xiao Zhiyuan.

"Flat body."

Xiao Zhiyuan signaled Qi Ye to get up, and asked straight to the point, "Qi Ye, did you murder the son of Prince Zhennan?"

"Your majesty, I am wronged. I don't know why the prince slandered me. Everyone in the capital knows how I treated the prince. How could I murder the prince?"

Qi Ye stared at Xiao Ling with tears in his eyes, as if Xiao Ling was slandering him for all this.

"My son, I know you don't like me all the time, but I am sincere to you. I really take care of you as my own child. Do you still remember that when you were sick, I was by your side day and night? ?”

"That's why I was kept in the dark by you. I believed your nonsense and almost lost my life."

Xiao Ling said expressionlessly.

"Concubine Ji, you dare to swear to the sky that you didn't harm the prince?"

Du Shicheng looked at Qi Ye calmly.

"I, Qi Ye, swear to the sky that I have never murdered the crown prince. If I break my oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death." Without further ado, Qi Ye made a gesture of swearing and shouted loudly.

Rumble.

The moment Qi Ye finished his oath, there was a burst of thunder in the cloudless sky.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

no?Really thunder?

"Concubine Ji, didn't you say you didn't do it? What's the matter with the thunder? If you swear carelessly like this, you won't be afraid of God's punishment?" Du Shicheng took the opportunity to question.

"That's just a coincidence."

Qi Ye gritted his teeth and replied, but an involuntary chill rose in his heart.

"coincide?"

Rumble.

When the thunder sounded again, Xiao Ling said calmly, "Qi Ye, how dare you swear now that you didn't murder me? Did you not try to take the throne for your son?"

"I……"

Qi Ye didn't dare to swear casually after this battle.

"Qi Ye."

Xiao Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Jun Yan's accident is really because of you?"

Oops.

"Your Majesty, no, it was just a coincidence."

Qi Ye immediately quibbled anxiously, "The matter of the son really has nothing to do with the subject, and the day the son disappeared, I was also seriously injured. If I really did it, why would I even get hurt?"

"Isn't this a good scheme of yours, Princess Ji?"

Du Shicheng clearly didn't believe Qi Ye, and questioned, "If I were to deal with the crown prince, I would make the same choice as the second princess, and ask those assassins to stab me, wouldn't that just get rid of the crime?"

"Du Shicheng, that's just your guess. Ye'er will never do that. If you say something to frame Ye'er again, I will definitely not let it go."

Qi Jingyuan said angrily.

"Qi Jingyuan, I should be the one who said that."

Du Shicheng snapped back rudely, "If the prince's disappearance is really related to the successor princess, I won't let it go."

"Du Shicheng, you..."

"What about me? Qi Jingyuan, you are only allowed to be eager to love your brother, and not allow me to be eager to love your apprentice?"

Du Shicheng sneered.

"Du Shicheng, don't make excuses here. If you keep saying that Ye'er did it, then show evidence and just rely on a few thunderclaps to say that Ye'er did it. Don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

Qi Jingyuan said with a livid face.

"I have the proof."

As soon as Xiao Ling said this, the eyes of all the people present gathered on Xiao Ling at the same time, and they were more watching the show.

Because they didn't believe what Xiao Ling said.

"My lord, stop talking big, it's all..."

"Lord Qi, you misunderstood. The evidence I mentioned is not what you thought." Xiao Ling interrupted indifferently, "Your Majesty, this is the evidence I collected about Qi Ye."

"Bring it up."

After a while, the evidence that was still in Xiao Ling's hands just now was handed over to Xiao Zhiyuan.

But this look.

Xiao Zhiyuan was completely stunned, his face was getting darker and darker, when he was about to attack, the eunuch beside him suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, servant Ning Gui is here."
