Looking at Ye Ying lying in a pool of blood, Xiao Jun'an couldn't help but twist his fingers lightly.

He once again controlled Xiao Yihang like he did that night, and used the Imperial Guards to kill Ye Ying, who "intended to assassinate" the emperor.

His martial arts had already reached the pinnacle. Looking around the world, there were few people who could be his rivals. Therefore, the civil and military officials in the court could not discover him at all.

The matter was left unresolved for the time being.

But Minister Pei of the Ministry of Justice was not willing to give up. "Your Majesty, even though the witness is dead now, it does not mean the end of this case. Especially since this is a major event that confuses the royal bloodline, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it. I ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly to set the record straight and safeguard the dignity of the royal family."

Xu Ming from the Ministry of Rites disagreed, saying, "Ye Ying has just admitted in front of all the civil and military officials that Marquis Changping is the biological son of their Pavilion Master Chu Zhaoyu. Therefore, Lord Pei should interrogate Marquis Changping instead of following the path set by those with ulterior motives and continue to slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to disrupt the government!"

Minister Pei of the Ministry of Justice flicked his sleeves and replied in a stern voice, "Marquis Changping must be tried, but Ye Ying also testified against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he must be tried together. Although, as everyone thinks, this case may not rule out the possibility of being directed by others to deliberately confuse the public, but because of this, we must thoroughly investigate the truth to prevent it from being used by traitors and trapping the royal family in injustice."

Xu Ming from the Ministry of Rites wanted to say something, but Xiao Jun'an saw that the old emperor was about to lose his temper, so his eyes moved slightly and he took the initiative to step forward. He slowly said, "What Minister Pei said is true. In this case, I will cooperate with the Ministry of Justice in the investigation."

Hearing this, the old emperor waved his hand unhappily.

Everyone knelt and left, and the old emperor finally couldn't stop coughing.

Seeing this, Jiang Shou immediately patted him on the back and said, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The old emperor paused for a while before he spoke in a heavy voice, "How could this happen?"

Looking at the cold and hard face of the emperor, which was actually showing a hint of sadness at this moment, Jiang Shou couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

He knew why.

If we only consider the rumors and Ye Ying's confession, perhaps it was really a plot by Chu Zhaoyu to disrupt their Beixiao Dynasty.

But, why is it that Princess Changle’s eyes look so much like the late Queen Ouyang Xue’s?

You can't say that Ouyang Yu, who gave birth at the same time, took the wrong child, right?

This is obviously self-deception, but even this only reason cannot deceive.

Of the two children, Changning looks more like Ouyang Xue, while Changle only looks alike in the eyebrows. But once she starts crying, plus her charm, they can be said to be exactly the same.

The old emperor returned to his bedroom. He held Princess Changle in his arms and stared into her eyes without blinking, lost in thought...

When Xiao Jun'an returned to the Prince's Mansion, his face was gloomy. He slammed the table angrily and said through gritted teeth: "You are not good at anything but always make trouble!"

Fang Hui, who was standing by, couldn't help but shrink his neck secretly after hearing this.

Xiao Jun'an was not scolding him, but Chu Zhaoyu.

They sent so many people but they couldn't kill Xiao Hanye, who didn't have many guards around him. Instead, Xiao Hanye captured Ye Ying alive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become furious. With a wave of his palm, a priceless piece of fine jade was broken into pieces.

Looking at the debris on the ground under his feet, Fang Hui swallowed his saliva repeatedly.

Xiao Jun'an wasn't completely angry about this.

But even if the old emperor was dissatisfied with Xiao Hanye, he would not kill him, just because he was his son.

Under the circumstances at that time, he even secretly sent Pei Zhiyan to provide support.

If he had not killed King Ning directly at the beginning, King Ning would not have been executed.

He was not so lucky.

You have no control over your birth.

The choice is not up to you.

Even if we can get away with it today, once things are said, there will be no turning back.

Not to mention that the old Minister of Justice is a stubborn old man. The old emperor is not easy to fool. How could he allow the royal bloodline to be confused?

Suddenly I remembered the righteous words of the old minister of justice in the court today.

He suddenly understood.

It turns out that the old minister of the Ministry of Justice is not that stubborn, at least not as stubborn as he appears to be. He has always regarded him as someone who cannot be won over, because he has tried to win him over several times, but all ended in failure...

It turns out that he had already surrendered to Xiao Hanye, and he is still so loyal!

Even when he was blind he never gave up!

In fact, an old minister of the Ministry of Justice would be fine, but the key is that he is in charge of his son Pei Zhiyan, who is in charge of 100,000 Beiyu troops!

Since the old minister of the Ministry of Justice has surrendered to Xiao Hanye, his son is naturally Xiao Hanye's man.

In this way, he has the upper hand...

He didn't want to follow the example of King Ning and take this path, but in the end he had to do it...

Because he never had a way out.

Because if he fails, he doesn't have the confidence that Xiao Hanye has. He is not the old emperor's son, and only death is waiting for him...

Looking towards the harem, he looked grim: "How is Concubine Rong doing?"

Despite his anger, Fang Hui replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is keeping a close watch on Concubine Rong. We can't save her with our strength..."

The emperor will react soon. Xiao Jun'an narrowed his eyes, and murderous intent appeared on his body: "Since you can't save him, then abandon him..."

Although Concubine Rong was his biological mother, he had no feelings for her.

Whenever he and Concubine Rong met occasionally in the past, Concubine Rong was always extremely kind to him. He did not think much about it at the time, but now thinking back on it, how could a mother hide her love for her own son?

Perhaps Concubine Rong really loved him, which was why she and Chu Zhaoyu agreed to tell this huge lie, but did she ask him if he was willing?

If he had a choice, he would rather be a country bumpkin and live a carefree life.

He is not an ordinary person. Even if he no longer has the status of a prince, he will always have a place for himself no matter where he is.

But she pushed him into an irretrievable situation.

Once the truth is revealed, what awaits him will be the beheading of his body!

Including everyone around him!

So, how could he still have any feelings for her?

Not only did he have no feelings for Concubine Rong, he also had no feelings for Chu Zhaoyu.

In the past, he transformed himself into his master Wu Ya, who taught him skills and martial arts, and he was once respectful to him.

But when he suddenly knew the truth, especially after knowing what Chu Zhaoyu had done, he felt only disgust towards him.

Yes, he hated him.

He hated having such a biological father.

How could there be such a paranoid, crazy, and evil person in this world? And such a person happened to be his father!

He really wanted to cut ties with him.

But like Chu Ziyu, they are all ashamed of him, but they have no choice but to do so in order to achieve their own goals...

It turns out that they are all paranoid and crazy people at heart.

Because they have the same blood in their bodies...

But Chu Ziyu, who didn't want to experience life and death, was relieved.

He calmly entered the Ministry of Justice and confessed that he was Chu Zhaoyu's son...

The emperor sentenced him to be beheaded in the autumn...
