The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Someone in the crowd whispered, "Is this the Phoenix? It looks exactly like it."

The midwife and others nodded and said it was exactly the same, except that the bird had been dead for nearly forty years and should not still be alive.

Li Jixin was very proud. His uncle Han was an expert in counterfeiting. He could make an identical fake phoenix just by listening to someone's description.

When Li Jixin opened the cage, the big bird wanted to fly away, but was forced by Dahui to squat on the stage and dared not move.

"Wei Qing, show everyone how the Duke of Yingguo's mansion faked the auspicious bird back then."

"okay."

Wei Qing held the big bird and walked around the stage so that people around him could see it clearly.

"Indeed, the feathers on the bird's tail are tied on."

"The color is really fading. The bird's feathers must have been painted."

"From a distance, it looks quite similar. But up close, it doesn't look that much like a phoenix. Instead, it looks more like a pheasant."

……

The crowd was talking incessantly, Ruan Xinyu's face turned red and white, and she stared at Ruan Qingyao with a half-smile.

"She's such a good aunt of mine."

After Wei Qing finished his demonstration, he untied the long feathers tied to the bird and wiped the paint off the bird's body bit by bit with a wet towel.

After a while, an ordinary long-tailed bird revealed its true appearance.

The fake monk muttered a few words: "Back then, the old Duke of England took a fancy to my looks and asked me to pretend to be a monk and talk nonsense in the Duke of England's mansion. Later, he wanted to kill me to silence me.

I was able to escape the disaster by hiding in a temple in Dongyang Prefecture."

He originally thought that with that money, he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that the fake monk would eventually become a real monk and he lost a lot of money.

The most terrifying thing is that it has been almost forty years since the incident, and he has grown from a young man to an old man, but he can still be found by Prince Chen's people.

Li Jixin smiled complacently again. He was now an expert in sketching, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to find someone who looked like a Bodhisattva...

When Ruan Xinyu was fourteen years old, Ruan Zhengkun was "drunk" in front of Emperor Huiren and said that his granddaughter was extremely talented and beautiful, and many people wanted to marry her, but he just wanted to find the best man in the world for his granddaughter.

Emperor Huiren even teased him, saying, "You are specifically asking for my eldest son."

At that time, Ruan Xinyu's reputation as the Phoenix Girl of Destiny was circulated in a small circle among the nobles in Luo City.

Emperor Huiren was also tempted and wanted to introduce Ruan Xinyu to Li Zhaoying.

Unfortunately, Li Zhaoying was focused on studying and practicing martial arts at the time and didn't care about his children's affairs. He also didn't like Ruan Xinyu.

The matter is settled.

On the sixth day of October the following year, Ruan Xinyu, the day she came of age, asked Li Zhaoying to see the Epiphyllum.

Of course, Li Zhaoying did not keep the appointment. That night, he accompanied Emperor Huiren and a group of ministers to appreciate the peacock catkins in the Yangxin Palace.

"Impossible!" Ruan Xinyu's face turned pale. "That night, he was clearly with me."

Li Zhaoning said this with a sarcastic yet somewhat sympathetic smile on his face as he looked at Ruan Xinyu.

"That night, Zhaoying and Zhaojie admired the peacock lily with my father and the others. Lord Liu and the others can all testify to this.

After the night-blooming cereus withered, the two of them followed Tingye to the princess's residence and stayed there until the third day—the eighth day of the tenth month. When Zhaoying was on tour on behalf of the emperor, he escorted Tingye and me all the way to Yuezhou Prefecture.

Ruan Xinyu's face turned pale: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense..."

Ji Siyuan knelt on the ground, looked at Ruan Xinyu, then at Li Zhaocai, and suddenly stood up and hit Li Zhaocai.

His kung fu was not great, but not bad either. Li Zhaocai was pinned down by him and beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

"Tell me, who was it that night?"

"Madman, you madman..."

How could the people around me not understand?

Ji Siyuan is the child of Ruan Xinyu and Li Zhaocai.

On the evening of the sixth day of October, Ruan Xinyu drank the ginseng tea sent by Ruan Qingyao and went to the Imperial Garden, but she soon fell asleep in the Imperial Garden.

Li Zhaocai, wearing Li Zhaoying's coat, brought her into the room.

Nanny Ji and Queen Ruan Qingyao who were beside her knew the whole process.

It can even be said that Ruan Qingyao designed all this.

When Ruan Xinyu woke up, she could only see a back that looked very similar to Li Zhaoying in her hazy eyes.

Aunt Ji also told her that the person with her was Li Zhaoying.

Ruan Xinyu was waiting with great joy for Li Zhaoying to ask for the marriage, but soon heard that Li Zhaoying had gone on an inspection tour on behalf of the emperor.

It would take at least half a year to patrol on behalf of the emperor, but at this moment, Ruan Xinyu's letter had not come yet. How could she wait that long?

The Ruan family sent her to Wuping County and asked her to go to Yunkong Temple to find a monk named Liaowu.

Unfortunately, Liaowu was imprisoned by Liaoran because he leaked the secret in the capital.

Ruan Xinyu did not see Wu.

They settled down in Wuping County.

In June of the nineteenth year of Huiren, Ruan Xinyu, who was about to give birth, suddenly received the news that Li Zhaoying had been granted marriage.

Ruan Xinyu was so shocked that she gave birth to Ji Siyuan prematurely.

Later, under the instigation of people around her, Ruan Xinyu decided to take revenge on Li Zhaoying.

In September, Ruan Xinyu was betrothed to Li Zhaocai.

After that, Li Zhaocai was completely tied to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.

In August of the 20th year of Huiren, Kong Haibo learned that Li Zhaoying's deputy general Ji Guang was going back to Guanzhong Prefecture to pick up his wife and children to go to Jiyang.

Ji Guang's son is the same age as Ji Siyuan.

It just so happened that Li Zhaoying had to return to Beijing early that year because of his wedding in the spring of the following year.

At that time, Chen Xinrong was still imprisoned in the cold palace, but because of the kindness of Emperor Huiren and the Empress Dowager, and the help of Ruan Qingyao, Chen Xinrong's freedom was not restricted.

Not only was Chen Xinrong not restricted, but because he was in the cold palace, he did many things that outsiders could not imagine.

That year, Chen Xinrong, Kong Haibo and the Duke of Yingguo planned to send Ji Siyuan to the Prince of Jiyanglin's Mansion as Ji Guang's son.

But in order to successfully complete the plan, Ji Guang must be eliminated.

Kong Haibo told Ruan Xinyu that he had made arrangements. Ruan Xinyu only wanted to take revenge on Li Zhaoying and she didn't care what means Kong Haibo used.

Ruan Qingyao and the Duke of Yingguo both thought that Kong Haibo had used the people from the Shadow Pavilion to assassinate Ji Guang.

Only Chen Xinrong, the real master behind Kong Haibo, knew that in Jiyang, the people of Shadow Pavilion had no way of killing Ji Guang.

Chen Xinrong's official identity is the daughter of Chen Hao from Yanshan County, Yunzhou Prefecture.

When Emperor Yongle started his rebellion, Chen Hao killed Lu Ya, the prefect of Yunzhou, and let Emperor Yongle go with him in order to protect the people of the city.

Afterwards, Chen Hao was retaliated by the Lu family, and his original wife and children were all killed.

Nan Yuyang, a member of the Nanlai royal family's branch, changed her name to Yang Yunan and became Chen Hao's second wife.

Afterwards, Yang Yunan pretended to be pregnant and brought Princess Chen Xinrong, the eldest princess of the Nanlai royal family, into the Chen Mansion.

When Chen Hao found out, he wanted to kill them, but the people of Nanlai threatened him with Chen Hao's pregnant concubine.

Afterwards, Chen Hao was forced to commit suicide, and Chen Hao's concubine was also killed by Yang Yunan after giving birth to Chen Su.

Emperor Yongle believed that Chen Hao committed suicide because he was accused of being a traitor and felt deeply guilty towards him.

Soon, Emperor Yongle brought Yang Yunan, Chen Xinrong and Chen Su to the capital.

When Chen Su was a little older, he returned to Yunzhou Prefecture to study. After passing the imperial examination, Chen Su began to travel around and did a lot of dirty things for his "sister" Chen Xinrong and "nephew" Li Zhaocai.

Han Qingyun said this and asked Lu Changping to bring Chen Su up.

Li Jixin cut open the clothes on Chen Su's left hip as he did before. The birthmark that was originally dotted with rouge had faded, and it was much larger than what Chen Su had exposed before, and the color was also much lighter.

The people began to discuss again: "So it's true or not? I said Prince Lin's Mansion wouldn't lie..."

Chen Su no longer had the shame and anger he had last time, his face was filled with anger and pain.

"Chen Xinrong, are they telling the truth? You are not my sister. That bitch Yang killed my father and my aunt, right?"
