I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

The farce ended just like that.

The audience gathered together and were still talking about how shameless Wen Xianglian was. She really seemed like she had gone crazy.

They also think that people like Wen Xianglian should go to jail to prevent them from continuing to harm others.

The Jiao family also became a joke, as they actually took in such a shameless and delusional concubine.

The affairs of Mrs. Jiao and her son, as well as what Wu Zhiheng had done, also spread in the capital.

the next day.

Mrs. Jiao's husband and Wu Zhiheng were reported by the Censor.

If Mrs. Jiao really lent money at high interest and allowed her son to bully men and women and kill people, she should be punished.

Mr. Jiao also did not know how to educate his wife and children.

If Wu Zhiheng took advantage of his position to do so many dirty things, he should be investigated thoroughly.

The emperor originally wanted to investigate the Jiao family and Wu Zhiheng, so he followed the censor's wishes.

This time, the Ministry of Justice was directly asked to investigate. After all, Mrs. Jiao’s husband is the Minister of the Dali Temple and he has to avoid suspicion.

Mrs. Jiao's husband and Wu Zhiheng were both panicked.

Wu Zhiheng, in particular, regretted it deeply.

I shouldn't have divorced Wen Xianglian. I should have let her die in the backyard.

But they didn't know that in addition to Wen Xianglian's madness, Lu Shao and Qiao Yu were also behind this matter.

How could they let go of the hatred for what Wu Zhiheng did to Qiao Ye and Qiao Yu?

Wen Xianglian was taken away by the Feilong Guards and sent to accompany Lu Qingrong and his daughter.

Wen Xianglian then realized that her collusion with the rebels had been exposed long ago.

The result of her making a fuss was that these people found an excuse to arrest her.

I regret every day that I should not have left Qiao Yu and Qiao Ye and followed Wu Zhiheng, the heartless man, to the capital.

He regretted even more that he had listened to the rebels' arrangements and had taken the initiative to pick a fight with Qiao Ye's siblings and plot against them, which led to him being plotted against.

Not only has she not become a princess, but she has also been deserted by her friends and relatives. In the future, she may end up in jail for life or even exiled.

She regrets it!

Xiao Jingchen used some tricks to interrogate Wen Xianglian and pried her open to get some information.

A new fish was also dug up. It turned out that there were problems not only with the previous eunuchs around the Fifth Prince.

There was also a personal maid who was a rebel, and it was this person who secretly contacted and instructed Wen Xianglian.

In addition, there are problems with several concubines in the Fifth Prince's backyard.

Xiao Jingchen and others who received the news were speechless.

The backyard of the Fifth Prince and Song Shaoyang is really like a sieve, so the word "lust" is like a sword hanging over your head!

Xiao Jingchen also continued to dig deeper, but he still didn't find any useful information about the identities of the chief and the sixth chief.

In fact, these two people are very mysterious among the rebels.

Another month passed in a flash and it was the Queen's birthday.

Qiao Ye had received the invitation a long time ago and was also going to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

She also made a set of phoenix candles in advance as a birthday gift.

That day, Qiao Ye and Wei Fenghua entered the palace together in a carriage.

Today's banquet entertained the families of nobles from various aristocratic families and officials of the fourth rank and above.

As Qiao Ye was the county lord, she was seated in the front and sat together with Wei Fenghua.

Then the queen appeared, and the emperor also showed up in person to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

In addition, the concubines in the harem also came.

There were also princes and princesses who presented birthday gifts to the queen one after another.

Qiao Ye sat and watched.

When the eighth prince presented his birthday gift, her eyes fell on his face.

Then I always felt like something was wrong.

After thinking it over carefully, she looked at the emperor sitting at the top.

He looked at the concubines' seats again and saw Concubine Hui, the eighth prince's mother, sitting in a corner with little presence.

And look between the three.

What's wrong?

Then he accidentally saw the fifth and seventh princes who were talking and looked relatively similar to the emperor.

The most similar thing about the two of them is their almond-shaped eyes.

Finally found out what was wrong.

The emperor and the eighth prince's mother both have single eyelids.

Then how did she give birth to a son with double eyelids like the Eighth Prince?

It is controlled by recessive genes, so generally speaking, if both parents have single eyelids, their children will also have single eyelids.

Unless there is a gene mutation, it is possible to give birth to a child with double eyelids, but the chance of this happening is very small.

And if you look closely, the Eighth Prince looks nothing like the Emperor or Concubine Hui in terms of face shape or facial features.

She suddenly had a doubt.

At the following banquet, she was secretly observing Concubine Hui.

I noticed that the other person was listless and would yawn from time to time with his handkerchief covering his mouth.

It was very similar to the feeling of the concubine who took opium in the TV dramas she watched in the Republic of China.

The more I looked, the more frightened I became.

But if her guess is true, it can be explained.

Soon it was the turn of the women to present birthday gifts.

The Queen liked the phoenix candle made by Qiao Ye very much because of its uniqueness and good meaning.

Not only did he praise her, but he also gave her rewards.

Let Qiao Ye become famous again.

But Qiao Ye’s mind was no longer on this.

After the birthday banquet was over, she returned home and asked Lu Shao's people to pass a message to Xiao Jingchen.

Let Xiao Jingchen come quietly, she has something important to tell him.

Therefore, when Lu Shao was on his way home from the government office, Xiao Jingchen got into his carriage in an alley.

The house where Lu Shao and Qiao Ye live is very safe and no news will leak out.

The two got off the carriage and went to the study together.

Qiao Ye was already waiting in the study.

After seeing the two people come in, I waited for the maid to serve tea and leave.

So he expressed his doubts.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes widened in shock, "You mean the Eighth Prince might not be the emperor's son?"

"Could it be that Concubine Hui is cheating on the emperor?"

If that's the case, it would be really exciting.

He believed what Qiao Ye said, that parents with double eyelids usually cannot give birth to children with double eyelids.

So the first reaction was that his royal brother was cuckolded.

Qiao Ye shook his head and said, "No, I took a close look at Concubine Hui today. She might have been contaminated by the Hibiscus Cream."

"In other words, this eighth prince is not of royal blood at all."

"She must be under the control of the rebels, or even the Eighth Prince."

"Not only her, but also her family members."

She looked at Xiao Jingchen and emphasized: "You can check this carefully."

This speculation shocked Xiao Jingchen even more.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

After listening to this, Lu Shao also felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Before, they were in the dark, so they only suspected that the Eighth Prince was in collusion with the rebels.

But he never suspected that the Eighth Prince might be one of the rebels.

He even had a bold guess, "Do you think the Eighth Prince is the leader?"

"If you want to overthrow the Xiao family from the outside, you don't stand much chance of success."

Now the country is completely controlled by the Xiao family, with a strong army and stable people.

The rebels want to rise up in arms, attack the capital and seize the country, but their hope is very slim.

"But what if the Eighth Prince is the bloodline of the previous dynasty?"

"As long as he becomes emperor, all his future sons will be descendants of the previous dynasty."

"If he re-employs people from the previous dynasty, it will be equivalent to indirectly taking back the country."

"It is even possible that after they have secured their throne, they will simply change their surname and the name of their country."

This way has a much higher chance of success than directly launching a rebellion.

The eighth prince ascended to the throne as the prince of the Xiao family. Even though the process of scrambling for the throne was difficult, it was still orthodox and the ministers had no choice but to accept it.

After they came to power, they carried out a major purge of the court and replaced all the generals with their own people from the previous dynasty.

Once he controls most of the court and the country, even if the Eighth Prince changes his surname to the surname of the previous dynasty, no one else can do anything.

What the people care more about is not who becomes the emperor, but whether they can live a stable life.

It is impossible to rebel just because the remnants of the previous dynasty have regained power.

All the ministers and generals were purged and replaced by people from the previous dynasty. Who can lead the resistance?

After all, it has always been the case that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. The Xiao family came to power by stepping on the royal family of the previous dynasty.

If this plan succeeds, the remnants of the previous dynasty will be able to overthrow the Xiao family and regain the throne without bloodshed.

The more Lu Shao thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely.

What a good plan!
