Now that I think about it, a lot of the time, the kid’s words didn’t sound like they were spoken, but rather like what he was thinking.

But now is not the time to worry about this. As early as when he was in Yunzhan Cave, he had witnessed how powerful this kid was. In the blink of an eye, he razed an entire mountain to the ground, and his Yuan'er was in it, reduced to ashes.

Afterwards, Shangguan Shu kept the matter secret.

He had heard that when this little girl was in the womb, a wizard once said that she was the reincarnation of a demon child. Could it be true?

If that's true, then it's a bit tricky.

Emperor Jianxi was about to open his mouth to recognize Shao Yihui, but was interrupted by Wei Ju, who laughed and turned to look at Shao Yihui, "You have all been deceived! The real Third Prince died a long time ago. As for you, you are just a little bastard. I lied to you..."

Shao Yihui remained silent and did not show any panic because of his words. Wei Ju clenched his teeth in disappointment and said viciously, "You said you are the third prince. Do you have evidence to prove it?"

"Shangguan Shu, you are so sure, do you have any evidence?!"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Hahahahahaha... In this whole world, I, Wei Ju, am the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Third Prince. He is dead and must have gone to hell long ago! Wei Zhen, Zhao Rui, you have committed so many evil things and deserve this punishment. This is the retribution God has given you. You will never be able to find your biological son again!"

"Wei Zhen, if you force Zhen'er to death, I will make you suffer unbearable pain!"

"Zhao Rui, if it weren't for you, Zhen'er would have survived long ago. It's you, it's all your fault. You deserve to have no children or grandchildren!"

Wei Ju's vicious words echoed in the hall like a curse, and the empty hall was inexplicably filled with a sense of coldness.

Queen Xiaomin sneered, "Since Shao Yihui is not a prince, why did you kill him and me?"

Wei Ju was stunned and didn't understand what Queen Xiaomin said.

Emperor Jianxi was so angry that he was confused. He regretted it so much. He really regretted it so much. In the past, Minmin always joked that as an emperor, he was too cautious and had to think over everything again and again. He was not decisive enough and not domineering enough. However, he had his own ideas. It was precisely because he was an emperor that the matters he handled were not trivial and had a wide-ranging impact. If he made a mistake, the harm would last for a long time.

But now he understood that a beast like Wei Ju should be killed early, and it would be better to kill him by mistake than to let him go!

If he had killed Wei Ju earlier, how could the tragedy happen today?

Shao Yihui was afraid that if he let Empress Xiaomin and Wei Ju continue to confront each other, his identity would be exposed.

He suddenly knelt down, calmly.

When the emperor and empress saw this, their eyes were filled with tears.

Shao Yihui said, "Your Majesty, Madam, I... I have no evidence to prove that I am the lost third prince of your Majesty and Madam. My own memory is a damp, dark, and smelly secret room with only a small window," he suddenly smiled, "and a dog bowl."

"I don't know the years outside, I don't know the mountains and rivers, the rising and falling of the sun and the moon. When Wei Ju called me a dog, I felt that I was really a dog, a dog that could be whipped and abused by its master."

Queen Xiaomin suddenly burst into sobs, then she covered her mouth and looked at Shao Yihui with tears streaming down her face.

Shao Yihui seemed not to have heard anything, and continued to talk to himself in a flat tone, "He fed me stale rice and slop, and I ate it. Occasionally, the food was not stale, and I was satisfied. He poured boiling water into me, and the scalding water made me twitch on the ground, vomit blood at night, and fall asleep. I was still alive, and I was satisfied. After that, for countless days and nights, I worked hard to live in order to hold up a handful of sunlight leaking through the small window, until..."

"Until he told me my background."

"It turns out that I do have parents, and they love me very much. So why did I end up in such a miserable situation? It turns out that they don't know I exist."

He looked deeply at the Emperor and Empress and asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is this true?"

"I am already over thirty years old, alone, and have lived in panic for half my life. This thought is the only thing left, and I cannot forget it. I risk my life to beg Your Majesty to give me an explanation, an answer. Who am I?"

Shao Yihui threw the question to the emperor and the empress. Since they gave birth to him, then their identity would be determined!

He wants to restore his identity because the two of them want to recognize him, not because he wants to recognize the two of them!

The emperor and the empress were completely overwhelmed. Imagine a child who was exchanged since childhood and suffered a lot of hardships and came back to ask you, "Are you my father and mother?" Others said that you love me, and I always remember it, but is it true?

Queen Hyomin's voice broke. "Of course you are the son of me and His Majesty. You look so much like me and His Majesty, you must be him!"

Shao Yihui said sadly, "There are so many people in the world who look alike. This doesn't prove anything..."

Queen Xiaomin frowned. This stubborn child would not give up even when given the chance.

But her anger was also a reflection of her deep love for her son. Queen Hyomin felt that her son was just being coquettish with her.

Emperor Jianxi looked at Shangguan Shu and said, "My dear, please present the evidence you have found."

Shangguan Shu replied, "Yes! Based on the confessions of Wei Ju's trusted subordinates and the confession of the Duke of Zhenguo at that time, I can confirm that the person Wei Ju secretly imprisoned was indeed Shao Yihui, and Shao Yihui was the third prince who was replaced that year."

"No! He's not! The Third Prince is dead!"

Wei Ju denied it frantically, and everyone was speechless. At the moment, there was indeed no solid evidence to prove that Shao Yihui was the third prince. The old Duke suggested, "How about a blood test?"

As soon as he said it, Queen Hyomin rejected it, "No, no, this is not scientific!"

Although everyone did not understand the word "science" that Queen Hyomin mentioned, they understood that Queen Hyomin did not agree with this method.

Now it gets tricky.

Emperor Jianxi looked at Shao Yihui in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was cut from the same mold as himself. Wasn't he just fat? If he lost weight, would they still be able to deny it?

But he also had doubts. Wei Ju kept saying it was not the case. Although Shao Yihui did not admit it and acted as if it had nothing to do with him, what if he was playing hard to get?

He was a cautious emperor, and he had the destiny of the country to be entrusted to him. If he was deceived again and entrusted to the wrong person, he would die with regret.

Emperor Jianxi suddenly spoke and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Shao Yihui, Empress Xiaomin, and one other person, whom no one expected.

Shangguan Qingyue.

Wei Ju, Pei, Wei Fu and others were temporarily detained and awaiting punishment.

Throughout the whole process, Zhao Cong was like a transparent person. Even Emperor Jianxi and Empress Xiaomin didn't bother to deal with him.

He understood, but still felt lost.

He lowered his head, walked out of the Yangxin Palace, returned home, and waited for his fate.

Zhao Ying followed, and Shangguan Shu followed when he saw this.

"elder brother……"

Zhao Cong seemed to have his soul sucked out of him. He turned back dejectedly with a pale face, "Don't call me like that. I... I'm not..."

Zhao Ying closed her eyes, her brows twitching, revealing a hint of bitterness.

She said in a deep voice, "You are! You are always!"

"We grew up together, and my brother protected me. How can I disown you just because of... this?"
