Confiscated the property and exiled? I emptied the warehouse and fled the famine.

"Princess?"

"Princess?" The Lu family looked at Xiangling in shock. If Ruan Yunsheng hadn't known that Li Yi was Lanyuan's secret guard and couldn't have lied, she wouldn't have believed that the woman traveling with them was actually the princess of Lanyuan.

"Sister, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I am the princess of Lanyuan Kingdom. I came out this time to find my sister. I know everything you just said, but this was not done by my father." Xiangling took two steps forward, sat down, and said slowly.

"One night three years ago, my father's half brother and his concubines in the harem plotted to poison my father. My father was poisoned and could not speak or move, only his eyes could be opened. My mother was also imprisoned in the harem by my uncle. In order not to be exposed, he bloodbathed the entire palace that night and replaced all the guards with his own people. He kept the eunuchs and palace maids who were loyal to him and killed all those who were not.

In order to avoid being discovered, he found someone to disguise himself as my father, and went to court normally every day. He also reviewed the memorials in private. This imprisonment lasted for more than three years, until one day my mother found an opportunity to secretly send me out of the palace and asked me to come to Dongling Country to find my sister. She told me that if my sister was capable, I should tell her the truth. If my sister was just a commoner, then she would keep the matter to herself and let me stay by her side. "

Ruan Yunsheng felt a pain in her heart for some reason when she heard Xiangling's words. "You're telling us the secret of Lanyuan just like that. Aren't you afraid?"

Xiang Ling shook her head. "I know my sister won't tell anyone, and I trust her family now."

"Why do you trust me?" Not only had she only known her for less than two months, but she could actually trust her completely.

"Because you are my sister."

Ruan Yunsheng's eyes gradually became clear, and she seemed to understand what Xiangling meant by "sister".

"You are my biological sister from the same father and mother. I knew it on the third day after you rescued me. Mother told me that there is a red heart-shaped birthmark in the hair behind your sister's right ear. Because it grows in a place covered by hair, no one will usually find it."

Ruan Yunsheng was stunned, she herself didn't know she had a birthmark behind her ear. Even Lu Zhizhou couldn't believe that he had slept with Ruan Yunsheng for so long without noticing it. Lu Zhizhou lifted Ruan Yunsheng's hair on the right side and actually found a very small heart-shaped birthmark in the hair. The color was very light and it was hard to find because of the hair.

Lu Zhizhou nodded to Ruan Yunsheng. Ruan Yunsheng looked at Xiangling and wondered why she always felt close to Xiangling. However, things happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to accept it.

"Can you tell that I'm your sister just based on this birthmark? We don't look alike at all." Ruan Yunsheng stared at Xiangling. He felt that they had no similarities at all. The only thing that might be similar was their eyes.

Li Yi, who was standing by, was startled and clapped his hands. "I remember now. I was wondering why you looked so familiar to me. You look very similar to the queen of Lanyuan Kingdom, especially those captivating eyes."

Xiang Ling glanced at Li Yi and said, "She's right. Although we are born from the same mother, I look like my father and you look like my mother. Both of our eyes look like my mother's, but when we were born, my father said that my sister's eyes were more like my mother's."

Ruan Yunsheng didn't know how to accept it for a moment. When she knew that she was not the biological daughter of the Ruan family, she had already prepared herself to be without any relatives or friends in this strange world. But now, her biological parents and sister have appeared, and her biological parents are the emperor and queen of Lanyuan Kingdom.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and give me some time. You just said you knew what conspiracy the Lanyuan Kingdom had?"

Xiangling saw that Ruan Yunsheng couldn't accept it for the time being and didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't force him. "I also heard him and my mother say it once. The emperor's uncle colluded with your Dongling emperor a few years ago. Your Dongling emperor was afraid of the Lu family and wanted to get rid of the Lu family for a long time, and the emperor's uncle wanted to get the throne. Later, the two of them reached an agreement. The emperor's uncle helped him eliminate the Lu family and the Dongling emperor helped him get the throne."

After Xiangling finished speaking, Ruan Yunsheng still felt something was wrong. "Why not just kill the Lu family directly instead of scattering them to different places and torturing them?"

"Because he hated the Lu family, the emperor's uncle was accidentally captured by the Lu family during a fight with them. During this period, he experienced inhuman torture. He endured all kinds of torture. Not only that, he was also beaten by the soldiers in the barracks... What's more, when Lanyuan took the emperor's uncle back in exchange for the city, they found that he was no longer humane. There were all kinds of wounds on his body, and those wounds were covered with feces, emitting a foul stench everywhere."

"A prince was humiliated in an enemy country. After returning to Lanyuan, my father ordered all those who knew about it not to reveal a single word. But even so, it did not ease the knot in my uncle's heart. He became more and more cruel and ruthless. My father knew that he owed him a lot, so he turned a blind eye to it."

Now Ruan Yunsheng finally understood why the Lu family had such an end. The prince of a country was tortured wantonly after being captured. Not only that, he was taken turns by the soldiers in the barracks... Afterwards, he was not treated humanely and his wounds were covered with feces. He was also displayed in broad daylight. Not to mention that he was a prince of a country, even an ordinary person could not bear such treatment.

"The Lu family army will not do that." Lu Zhizhou said confidently.

"But that's the fact. I saw the miserable state of my uncle with my own eyes when he was carried back."

"I know what you said. The real situation is not what you saw. It is true that your uncle was captured, and the one who captured him was my eldest brother. But my eldest brother issued an order at the time not to treat him harshly. Then my eldest brother received a military order to deal with the situation. He ordered his men to release him if he did not come back after three days. But there was not only the Lu family's army there at the time.

After the eldest brother led the Lu family army to evacuate, Cao Wu took over. Although he was a member of the Lu family army, he was not pure in heart, cruel and jealous, and was not valued. Later, he made a mistake, and the eldest brother expelled him from the Lu family army and gave him another soldier to follow the Lu family army.

Your uncle's affair was caused by him. He wanted to use Lanyuan to take revenge on the Lu family. He thought that as long as he humiliated the prince of another country, Lanyuan would definitely send troops to attack him. But he never expected that Lanyuan would give in to this extent and be willing to cede the city in exchange for your uncle in order to avoid a war. When my brother rushed back, he saw him covered in wounds and dirt. He ordered people to wash him, but he was taken away by Cao Wu to be exchanged before he arrived. "

"So the royal uncle decided that it was the eldest brother who caused him to be in this situation, and because of his crazy and twisted mentality, he started to take revenge on the Lu family?" Ruan Yunsheng continued with the following words.
