"Eighth Uncle, are you awake?"

Leng Jin blinked hard a few times, frowned and opened his eyes, looking at her with disbelief.

"You are……"

"Eighth Uncle, I am Luo Nianxi..."

"Nian Xi, is it really you?"

When he asked this question, the Eighth Uncle's eyes actually turned red.

"it's me……"

She nodded heavily, "Are you feeling better?"

"My child, you are finally back. Do you know what has become of the imperial court? Do you know what has become of Yan'er?"

When Leng Jin said this, he actually began to choke up.

Seeing two lines of turbid tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes, Luo Nianxi suddenly thought of Leng Yiyan who had disappeared. Her nose felt sore and she shed tears unconsciously.

"Eighth Uncle, I suspect that the current emperor is not the real Leng Yiyan at all. Do you feel this way?"

As soon as she said this, Leng Jin seemed to have thought of something. He sat up from the bed and nodded continuously.

"Nian Xi, I was confined by him because I raised this question in the court. I have long suspected that the current emperor is not the Yan Er I know."

“Others don’t believe me, but I do…”

"I heard that he also went to Gratitude Temple?"

"If he didn't go, I wouldn't have noticed the problem, but if he wasn't Leng Yiyan, how could he look so similar? Where is the real Leng Yiyan?"

"I wonder if you have heard of the art of disguise..."

Disguise?

Luo Nianxi frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"You mean, the current emperor is someone else's disguise?"

Leng Jin straightened his body and nodded solemnly.

"I can't think of any other reason. Originally, his health has been very poor since you left the palace. But one day, in the court, he suddenly seemed like a different person. Not only did he go from listless to energetic overnight, but his behavior and way of speaking also changed drastically. Especially when he received the memorial and heard that the border war was urgent, he didn't even ask a single question and directly asked Fei'er to take his generals to the battle? Just based on this point, people feel that there is a problem. Everyone knows that his generals have been staying in the capital to guard the city. He will not use them easily. But he sent them out together this time. This has to make people suspicious!"

"Well, the most important thing is that he was not good to Jinjie. He actually allowed those women in the palace to bully Jinjie..."

When she said this, she thought of the wounds on Jinjie's body and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"Eighth Uncle, if this person is really Leng Yiyan in disguise, then where is the real him? Is he in danger?"

At this point, she became even more worried about him.

Leng Jin hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"I don't know either. I tried to find someone to investigate the palace, but found nothing. Everyone knows that the emperor changed overnight, but no one knows why he changed. I said he was someone else in disguise, but it was just a guess because no one has ever seen the real Leng Yiyan..."

"So...what should I do now?"

Leng Jin's brows were twisted into a knot at this moment.

He held his chin with one hand, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"Now you suspect him, but you have no evidence, and no one will believe your empty words. I think you should go find Leng Yifei and Su Yi to help you. After all, most of the troops are in their hands."

She looked at him in amazement.

"You mean, I go find them and come back to rebel?"

"This doesn't count as treason. If he is really someone else in disguise, it means that the real emperor has been harmed by them, or has been locked up by them. You are also getting rid of harm for the people. If he is the real Leng Yiyan, according to his style of doing things, you can openly dethrone him and let the prince ascend the throne..."

At this point, he let out a long sigh.

"I am old and ill. Whether I can find out the truth of this matter depends on you. However, I still have some loyal soldiers under my command. When you really lead your men back to the capital, I can lend you a helping hand..."

After a moment's silence, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I will rush to the border to arrange this matter immediately. Uncle Eighth, tell me where they are. You should also take good care of yourself..."

Whenever she thought that Leng Yiyan might have been harmed by someone, she felt indescribable pain in her heart.

Leng Jin told her the whereabouts of Leng Yifei and others, and after giving her a few instructions, she took Bai Lan and others and hurriedly left the Prince Jin's Mansion.

However, they did not leave the capital immediately, but went to the Ministry of Justice's Tianlao.

In order to avoid attracting attention, she asked Bai Lan and others to wait for her on the side. She went alone with a basket of food, spent ten taels of silver, and negotiated with the jailer in a nice way before she was able to enter the Sky Prison.

This is where Leng Yixing is imprisoned.

When she walked into the dark and damp prison, looking at those pairs of expectant eyes, she suddenly felt her heart tighten and tears filled her eyes.

If Leng Yiyan knew that his brother was locked up here in his name, he would definitely be very sad!

When she followed the instructions of the prison boss and arrived at the door of a cell, she saw a man in prison uniform and with disheveled hair huddled in the corner.

Where can we still see the shadow of the once glorious Prince Xing in this person?

The prison boss opened the cell door, told her to speak quickly if she had anything to say, then turned and left.

She walked in quickly, put down the basket in her hand, and took a few steps forward impatiently.

“Leng Yixing?”

She asked tentatively because she really wasn't sure that this person was Leng Yixing.

He turned around, lifted the messy hair that was spread on his face, revealing a pair of dull eyes, and looked carefully towards Luo Nianxi.

When he saw clearly that the woman in front of him, disguised as a man, was Luo Nianxi, he got up from the ground and stepped back a few steps.

"What are you going to do? I'm already like this, what else do you want?"

There was fear and despair in his tone.

"Leng Yixing, it's me, Luo Nianxi..."

"I know it was you. Leng Yiyan wanted to kill me. You and he are in the same group. He must have sent you to kill me. Why did you treat me like this? I, Leng Yixing, have always been docile and never argued. It's not only for the sake of brotherhood, but more importantly, I want to be able to live with my wife, children and mother in this world. But why do you still treat me like this?"

"Leng Yixing, you misunderstood Leng Yiyan."

"Misunderstand?"

When he heard these two words, Leng Yixing seemed a little excited.

"I personally saw him send my third brother to the border, and I personally saw him confine my eighth uncle. I also personally experienced him locking me up in the Heavenly Prison, where I lived a life worse than death. And you still say that I misunderstood him? Even if you want to excuse him, you should find a better reason..."

"I'm not trying to excuse him. I'm saying that my Eighth Uncle and I suspect that he's not the real Leng Yiyan. With what he's done recently, do you think he's not worthy of suspicion?"
