She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Your Highness, this is not allowed." Chief Hong understood what the prince meant and stopped him immediately.

How does this work?

The prince is my son, how can he teach me a lesson?

"He made a mistake and led the princess of the enemy country to the palace. He didn't discover it for so many years. He is so stupid, shouldn't he be punished?" The prince said confidently.

"But he is already dead. Death is the greatest thing. Just scold him. Besides, you are his son. How can a son teach his father a lesson? This will damage your reputation." Chief Hong felt that the prince was being unfilial by doing this.

"Hmph, if someone makes a mistake, he should be punished. It's only natural. My grandfather is dead, so I can't teach him a lesson. As his grandson, I will do it for him."

"Your Highness, the old prince must be aware of the mistakes you made, and he may have already taught you a lesson." Chief Hong wanted to persuade him again.

"I didn't see it." No matter how the prince tried to persuade him, it was useless. He was determined.

The prince bowed three times and stood up.

He walked out of the main hall with a whip.

He ignored Chief Hong who tried to persuade him again.

"An Yi, please bring out my father."

An Yi went to the side room on the left and carried out a large piece of wood. When he looked at it, it was in the shape of a human.

Looking at the wooden figure again, I saw the old prince's name written on it.

The prince walked up to the wooden man, shook his long whip, and then swung it.

"Snapped!"

A loud crisp sound was heard.

The wooden man fell to the ground, but the prince did not stop. He whipped the wooden man with one whip after another, leaving pieces of wood chips on him.

Beating and cursing at the same time.

“Father, you are blind and cannot resist the temptation of a woman. You deserve to be punished.

Father, you are so blind that you didn’t know for decades that there was a poisonous snake hiding in your backyard, allowing her to operate a spy nest in Wei for many years.

Father, you are stupid. You couldn’t even educate your son properly. You let him be used as an accomplice to harm the eldest prince, Ziqi, and my princess.

Father, you have let down our ancestors, you have let down the people of Wei, and you have let down the descendants of Prince Rong’s Mansion.

......"

The prince took out all his frustrations of the past few days on the old prince.

If the old prince had not let that woman into the palace, there wouldn't have been so many problems.

At the end, the prince stopped beating the wooden man until his hands became weak. The wooden man's body was covered with marks left by the whip.

The wooden man has become much smaller.

If this happened to a real person, I don't know how many times he would be beaten to death.

"I am also stupid. I have lived in the palace for so many years and have never doubted the Third Aunt, nor have I ever suspected that the spy was my own brother.

My third brother has been very well-behaved and hardworking since he was young. He is a hundred times better than my second brother. I was particularly pleased with him for this, but in the end, he slapped me hard in the face.

I didn’t expect that the mother and son hid it so deeply.”

Chief Hong stepped forward tremblingly to comfort him.

"Your Highness, it's all over. Great Wei has been saved, and the Canglan envoys seeking peace have also arrived in the capital. Don't overthink it."

Shangguan Ziqi also stepped forward and took the whip from the prince's hand.

The prince said nothing, and turned his eyes to the body of old concubine Wang still lying on the ground.

"An Yi, bring another whip. I want to whip the corpse." The prince would never let the culprit go.

Old concubine Wang is not qualified to enjoy the family rules of the palace.

An Yi went to get another whip.

The prince took it and said nothing. He went up and swung the whip. With one lash, the corpse was torn into pieces.

He whipped the corpse one whip after another until only bones were left.

The yard was a mess.

"Uncle Li, find someone to clean up the yard and throw it into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs." Shangguan Ziqi saw that the prince stopped whipping him, and then he gave orders to the butler Li who had been watching.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The servants quickly cleaned up the scene.

The prince threw away the whip, went back into the main hall and knelt before the portrait of his ancestors to repent.

Seeing the prince's sad look, several elders sighed and shook their heads helplessly.

Before the matter became clear, no one would suspect Shangguan Hongzhe.

He is the old prince's biological son, how could he be a spy?

But reality is reality, and the most unlikely people are the most hidden.

Canglan's plan fooled everyone.

That night, the prince went up to the roof alone with a pot of wine, and drank alone while looking at the sky.

Shangguan Ziqi had another way to express his frustration, which was to embrace his wife and spend the night in a loving embrace.

As long as his wife is around, he can overcome any obstacle.

The next day.

The prince took An Yi to the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison again.

When he was led to the cell where Shangguan Hongzhe was imprisoned, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in his eyes.

With dead silence and loneliness.

This was definitely his third brother. They had lived together in the palace for so many years, so they were very familiar with each other.

The third brother exchanged his son just for the throne, and he was not that disappointed.

It is understandable that the disciples of Prince Rong's Mansion want to fight for the throne.

So after the truth came to light, he simply expelled his third brother and his family from the palace.

But now, he is a spy of the enemy country. He went to Canglan and was named a prince. He even changed his surname to Zhu Hongzhe.

Irony, such a huge irony.

"Third brother."

After venting his anger yesterday and calming down overnight, the prince has calmed down and can still call out his third brother, just like when they were children.

Shangguan Hongzhe was startled when he heard the long-lost voice.

He turned around slowly and walked over slowly.

"Big brother."

At this moment, his heart was still somewhat touched.

This is his elder brother from the same father, but his mother taught him since he was young that he is their enemy. They are members of the Canglan royal family and have come to fulfill the wishes of their ancestors.

As long as they complete their mission, they can return to Canglan and become great contributors to the royal family.

He didn't have to be a lowly bastard in Prince Rong's mansion. Even if he worked hard to pass the imperial examination, he could only get a small official position. After his generation, his descendants would not get much benefit.

Only by going to Canglan would they be considered members of the royal family. He was the son of a princess, and the son of a princess who had made great contributions. He could then win royal protection for his descendants.

He gradually became his mother's biggest helper, or his mother's most capable subordinate.

"Look at you, who still recognizes you as the Third Master of Prince Rong's Mansion?" The prince also took a step forward and got closer to him.

Seeing that my third brother, who was once so glorious, became a prisoner, and a prisoner for treason.

"Yes, I am no longer the Third Master of Prince Rong's Mansion. Are you here to see me off, brother?" Shangguan Hongzhe knew that his elder brother would come to see him for the last time.

"Have you ever regretted it?" The prince really wanted to know his true feelings.

"No. Because I have the blood of the Canglan royal family in my body, and my mother is a Canglan princess, my life is destined. My mother taught me from a young age that I must be loyal to Canglan.

They said that I would never have a chance to make a name for myself in Prince Rong’s Mansion and that I was just a bastard.

After you inherit the throne, we will have to separate and become a branch of the Shangguan clan.

After another generation, they will just be ordinary members of the Shangguan clan.

Therefore, I can only become a member of the royal family if I go to Canglan, instead of being a lowly bastard."

Shangguan Hongzhe's birth was a conspiracy.

He once thought that if he didn't do things according to his mother's wishes, he might not be able to survive and his mother would kill him.

He was just a subordinate of his mother. If a subordinate disobeyed or betrayed her, there would be only one result: death.

Before he grew up, his mother was able to establish a huge spy network in Wei on her own. Her ability can be imagined.

As he grew older, he increasingly realized that there was only one path for him to take.

So he has always been very obedient and done everything very diligently.

"Have you ever thought about your wife and children?"
