"There's nothing much to say. It's a fact that Ye Wudi massacred his compatriots. His death was not unjust, and I don't regret my decision back then." Ye Batian didn't want to bring up the past.

"Okay, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give Wudi justice. If Jinglan really killed him, I will never forgive her. But if you wrongly accuse her, I will never forgive you either."

Xiao Beichen made a harsh remark and left Ye Palace with his guards.

Ye Xinyi and others wanted to ask more questions, but Ye Batian evaded them all.

A few hours later.

After the news of Ye Huang's resurrection and Ye Wendi's murder spread, various branches of the Far East Army surrendered one after another.

At this point, the plan to usurp the throne that had been planned for three years came to an end.

The Ye Huang lineage put an end to Ye Badao's conspiracy with minimal losses.

Most of the families in the imperial capital were immersed in the carnival, but a small number of families became extremely fearful, fearing that Emperor Ye would settle accounts with them.

Especially Xiao Chengpeng and his son from the Shangguan family and the Xiao family.

Shangguan Jinhong returned home and called an emergency meeting. This time, the situation was more critical for the Shangguan family than the last time.

After all, last time, they thought that the crisis could be resolved by surrendering to Ye Badao, but at this moment, they completely offended Ye Huang's lineage.

The Shangguan family had wealth but no military power, so they could only become fish to be slaughtered.

However, in the imperial capital, there was a lively discussion about Ye Feng's appearance.

Although the Ye family acknowledged the Ye family's identity, in the eyes of everyone, Ye Feng's appearance was too coincidental, like a conspiracy, and most people did not believe Ye Feng's identity at all.

In less than half a day, various circles began to speculate about Ye Feng's identity.

Some said that Ye Feng picked up the jade pendant of the heir of the Ye family and acted out a play with Tang Ruoxue. Some speculated that Ye Feng was the biggest beneficiary of this change in the throne and he must have directed all of this.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who believe in the judgment of the Ye family. Since both Old Lady Ye and Emperor Ye acknowledge Ye Feng, it must be true.

Anyway, many versions of the discussion about Ye Feng have appeared one after another.

Even various conspiracy theories are emerging one after another, becoming more and more exaggerated.

Noon the next day.

After a whole day of investigation, Longmen and the Imperial Guards still could not find any news about Ye Yazhi. She seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing in just over a dozen hours.

Ye Feng could only ask the police station and other connections for help again to search in all directions.

After lunch.

Ye Feng returned to the Ye family.

He had too many doubts about what happened yesterday and he had to figure it out.

He believed that his mother was definitely not the murderer who killed his father, but what his grandfather said did not sound like a lie. He wanted to know what went wrong?

After entering the main hall, the Ye family and a group of family heads were discussing the strategy of reshuffle.

After all, this time, many families openly supported Ye Badao, and they would not let these people go easily.

But when they saw Ye Feng coming back, Ye Xinyi and Old Lady Ye immediately stood up, "Xiao Feng, you're back?"

After saying that, he went out to greet him.

Ye Feng ignored them, looked at Ye Batian who was sitting at the main seat, and said indifferently: "I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinyi quickly waved her hands and said, "My dear uncles, we can discuss other matters later. My Ye family still has things to attend to."

No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as Ye Feng.

After the other families withdrew, Ye Batian slowly walked down and said, "Xiao Feng, Grandpa is old, and the Ye family will rely on you in the future. You are very capable, and I am very relieved to leave the Ye family to you."

"I am not interested."

Ye Feng finished speaking indifferently and asked directly, "I came back today just to know about my mother. What do you mean by saying that my mother killed my father?"

"Yes, Grandpa, what is the hatred between the Ji family and our Ye family?"

Ye Xinyi and Ye Shaoqing also wanted to know.

Upon hearing this, Ye Batian looked gloomy.

Yesterday, Ye Xinyi and Xiao Beichen repeatedly questioned him about this matter, but he didn't want to answer. But at this moment, when Ye Feng asked again, he could no longer evade the question.

After a moment of contemplation,

He finally spoke, "Okay, since you want to know, I will tell you everything today. This all starts from the Ji family eighty years ago."

"At that time, the Ji family was the most powerful family in Daxia. As you all know, the Ji family was brutal and cruel, causing chaos and suffering for the people. My Ye family, together with the Xiao family, overthrew the Ji family's tyranny."

"After the Ji family was overthrown, the people of the Ji family became criminals, despised by the people of the world, and became rats crossing the street."

"But, not everyone in the Ji family is a sinner. Many of them are just innocent people who were implicated."

"And the Xiao family's great ancestor was kind-hearted and took in several young girls from the Ji family, including Ji Sharong."

"Perhaps it was love that grew over time. Due to their long-term contact, Xiao Chengde of the Xiao family, your grandfather, gradually fell in love with Ji Sharong and married her when he reached adulthood."

"Later, they loved each other deeply and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The second child, Xiao Jinglan, is your mother, and the third child, Xiao Beichen, is your uncle."

Ye Xinyi interjected, "What about my uncle? Why haven't I met him?"

"He died before you were born. I'll talk about him later."

Ye Batian continued, "After Ji Sharong's position in the Xiao family was consolidated, her ambitions gradually became apparent. Fifty years ago, in order to take control of the Xiao family's military power and restore the Ji family's rule, she poisoned Master Xiao, who had taken her in, and forced him to hand over his military power. But who is Master Xiao?"

"In order to prevent Xiao Sharong's plot from succeeding, Master Xiao chose to commit suicide to put an end to her scheme."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinyi and others were surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family had such a past.

In order to restore the rule of the Ji family, Ji Sharong even killed his benefactor.

"Then what?" Ye Feng asked

"Actually, no one else knew about this at the time. Even Xiao Chengde and I only found out about it later."

Ye Batian said: "After Master Xiao died, Xiao Chengde, the eldest son of the Xiao family, your grandfather, became the new head of the Xiao family. However, more than ten years later, an even more tragic conspiracy was staged again."

"Ji Sharong learned her lesson from the last time. This time, she didn't choose to poison Xiao Chengde, but instead threatened him with the lives of other members of the Xiao family."

"Your uncle was killed by Ji Sharong himself."

"what?"

Everyone in the Ye family was shocked.

No wonder Xiao Beichen hated Ji Sharong so much.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This Ji Sharong is simply insane." Ye Shaoqing said angrily.

"It's not just him."

Ye Badao continued, "In order to force Xiao Chengde to hand over his military power, Ji Sharong killed all thirty-odd members of the Xiao family, including Xiao Beichen's wife, son, and daughter. Xiao Beichen escaped because he was stationed at the border, and Xiao Jinglan was not killed because she married into our Ye family."

"But what she didn't expect was that Xiao Chengde's will was even stronger than Master Xiao's. Even after seeing all the Xiao family members die, he didn't compromise."

After saying this, Ye Batian looked extremely sad.
