Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Emperor Sheng An was immediately pleased by these words, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

He said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep after taking your medicine. Tell me first, why did you come to the palace so late? Did you find out any news?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, my uncle and I found traces of the beggars from Baima Lane in the dilapidated temple where the young prince of Wu was found!"

Emperor Sheng An was stunned. "White Horse Lane? Why does it sound familiar?"

Lin Ran subconsciously reminded: "Your Majesty, Princess Shude was demoted to a commoner before, and the place she went to was Baima Lane!"

Emperor Sheng An reacted instantly and slammed the table in anger: "As expected, a dog will always eat shit. Chu Xirou was banished to that kind of place, and yet she still dared to stir up trouble?"

Lin Yiwan sighed, "It's a pity we were a step too late. Those beggars had already been stung to death by the poisonous wasps, leaving no evidence at all!"

Emperor Sheng An froze. "How could she have such a skill?"

After a moment of silence, he asked Lin Ran, "Did you ask the coroner to perform an autopsy? Was he indeed killed by a wasp sting, and not murdered by someone?"

Lin Ran nodded. "We've checked it out, and it's said that those poisonous hornets were brought back from the back mountain by a beggar. He was going to get some honey, but ended up losing his life!"

Emperor Sheng An was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He frowned and pondered: "This accident is too perfect. It seems that Chu Xirou should not be underestimated!"

Lin Yiwan consoled him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The fox will eventually reveal its tail. Even if she managed to escape safely this time, she won't be so lucky next time. But have you thought about how to explain this to the Li Kingdom?"

Emperor Sheng An subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan, and he slowly said: "I will go find Prime Minister Min now!"

Zhan Yan sent someone to send an invitation to Min Xiang, and he went alone to the restaurant outside the posthouse to meet him.

He asked in surprise: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhan Yan knocked on the table and said, "Min Xiang, do you want to help the Saint escape from the shackles on her back and let her regain her freedom?"

Min Ao's originally calm expression finally showed a slight change. After a moment of silence, he said, "What do you need me to do?"

Zhan Yan whispered something in his ear, and he immediately clenched his fists.

He turned to look at Zhan Yan and said solemnly, "This plan cannot fail, otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "She is my mother, no one cares about her more than me!"

Min Ao didn't say anything else, but stood up and walked out quickly.

At first his steps were a little slow, but after a while, he walked very fast, as if with a little excitement.

When he returned to the inn, he heard that King Wu and Queen Wu had had a big fight and were now sulking alone in their study.

He walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Wu Guojun stared at him with a frown before slowly speaking: "Min Ao, are you and the Saint hiding something from me?"

Min Ao replied calmly: "Yes!"

King Wu had not expected him to admit it so readily. He quickly stood up and ordered, "Tell me, what are you hiding?"

Min Ao sighed softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Before hearing that story, I want to tell you something else. The murderers who hurt His Royal Highness the little prince have all been apprehended, but they are all dead!"

King Wu was so angry that he threw the inkstone beside him fiercely. He shouted angrily, "This is ridiculous! Emperor Sheng An really knows how to fool me. The people of Sheng Dynasty are so treacherous. Is my king blinded by greed that he wants to negotiate with them?"

Min Ao let him vent his anger, then whispered, "As for the secrets that the Saint and I have concealed, I'm sure the King would be happy to hear them!"

Wu Guojun angrily scolded: "Stop keeping us in suspense and speak!"

Min Ao spoke quietly, "Zhan Yan, the Marquis of Zhan Yi of the Sheng Dynasty, is now the son-in-law of Prince Li and the biological son of the Saint!"

King Wu was stunned for a moment. He opened his lips and spoke with difficulty for a long time. "What did you say? Say it again. Did you hear it wrong? How can he be my sister's child?"

Min Ao said, "I think the king has long suspected why Zhan Yan looks so similar to the Saint. He was originally strangled to death by the Zhan family's mistress when he was born, but he was lucky enough to survive. Therefore, the Saint was unaware of his existence until she saw him!"

Wu Guojun was clearly overwhelmed by the shock of this news. He paced around the room for a few steps before suppressing his joy and saying, "Then shouldn't Zhan Yan call me uncle? I'm his biological uncle, right?"

Min Ao nodded: "Yes, he already knew his identity, so he would never attack your son. The king really wronged him this time!"

Wu Guojun frowned and said, "This is a great joyous event. You and my sister kept it a secret from me and it made me miserable. Min Ao, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

Min Ao's face was complicated as he reminded him, "Your Majesty, calm down first. Considering the Saint's status and the relationship between the two countries, do you think this is truly a happy event? If this were to become public, I'm afraid the Saint would be attacked, and Zhan Yan's situation between the two countries would become difficult!"

Wu Guojun closed his eyes tightly. How could he forget this?

My sister is an extremely respected saint. How could she give birth to a child from the Sheng Dynasty?

Let's talk about Zhan Yan. As the Marquis Zhan Yi of Sheng Dynasty, he led the Zhan family army to fight against the Li Kingdom countless times. Although it was out of responsibility, he would eventually be hated by the soldiers.

He suddenly realized what was happening and immediately asked in a low voice, "Does Qin Tianhao know this news? He hates Zhan Yan to the core!"

Min Ao shook his head: "I don't know yet. This is why I came here to discuss this with you first. This matter needs to be kept secret. You know it, I know it, and the Saint knows it. Li Country must not let anyone else know it!"

Wu Guojun frowned and said, "Even if we keep it a secret, Qin Tianhao's vigilance might arouse his suspicions. If he attacks, how should I respond?"

Min Ao whispered, "Let him make trouble. Then the Saint Girl can use this opportunity to fake her own death and escape!"

King Wu's eyes widened in shock. "You want the Saint to leave Li Country? Don't you know how much influence she has in Li Country? What will I do if she escapes?"

Min Ao spoke in a gloomy voice, "Lord, do you still want to imprison your sister? She has helped you for so many years, and it is not enough. Besides, even if she faked her death and escaped, she is still Zhan Yan's biological mother. As long as you sign a peace agreement with the Sheng Dynasty, the two countries will move forward together and will ultimately stand firm!"

King Wu's blood rushed to his body in an instant. Yes, how could he be so blinded? With Zhan Yan's influence in Sheng Dynasty, he would definitely help Li Kingdom.

By then, the surrounding small countries will be trembling in fear and will no longer dare to provoke.

He immediately understood what to do. He walked out quickly and said, "Come on, Minister Min, let's go tell Qin Tianhao the truth!"
