Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

The Northern Mongol Empire was powerful, and the Empress endured the humiliation of that night.

But she really didn't know that Yan Mingyu was the son of the King of Northern Mongolia!

Only then did the mother and son realize their predicament.

If their identities are discovered, they will face certain death.

Therefore, one must stop at nothing to reach the highest position!

First, they must get rid of Huo Zhennan, the emperor's most trusted advisor!

The guards brought in a witch doctor who manipulated the late emperor and wrote another letter to Huo Zhennan, instructing him to fake his death after the war and leave the northern frontier for Pingyang.

Because he faked his death, he could die in a plausible way and would not have another chance to be resurrected.

Huo Zhennan found the courtesan he had once known in Pingyang, but the woman clearly gave birth to a daughter, and her age didn't match up, so she couldn't be the emperor's daughter!

Having mistaken the person, Huo Zhennan returned to the capital intending to discuss the matter face-to-face with the late emperor.

He secretly entered the palace, and as soon as he met the late emperor, he was imprisoned in a secret room on the grounds of disobeying the imperial edict.

"I pressed my father again, asking where he had left behind his illegitimate child."

He was no longer thinking clearly, but he still remembered the matter of finding the prince.

In the end, all he could recall was a night of passion with a woman in Jingzhou.

Sang Ning asked, "Which woman?"

Yan Mingyu shook his head: "I don't know... He was tricked into taking aphrodisiacs. He went back to the manor and grabbed a woman at random. The next day, the woman disappeared and they couldn't find her."

He said that although he was not in a good mental state, he knew that the woman was crying and resisting, and that she was not one of those women who had been arranged to have ulterior motives.

So, he intended to give that woman a formal status. But he couldn't find one.

Real hammer!

Sang Ning is the daughter of a dog emperor!

She wished she could dig up the dog emperor again and tear him to pieces! Utterly disgusting!

"He also said that the true emperor must be in Jingzhou, and called on Huo Zhennan to go find him."

I then went to interrogate Huo Zhennan again. Huo Zhennan initially did not know, but in the end he must have realized it, and said that the person was already dead.

When I asked him who he was, he wouldn't say. Even after being fed the Gu worms and driven mad by their bites, he still wouldn't say anything.

I then threatened him with the lives of everyone in the Marquis's mansion.

At this moment, Yan Mingyu didn't seem to be giving an explanation; rather, he seemed to be lost in his own memories in a daze.

Huo Jingya and Sang Ning were trembling with anger, but they forced themselves not to interrupt.

Sang Ning wondered, if Huo Zhennan really thought of her mother, why didn't he say that she was the illegitimate daughter?

Is it simply because she was betrothed to Huo Chang'an and has already been regarded as a member of the Huo family?

If that's really the case, she'll cry her eyes out.

Yan Mingyu let out a sound that was both a cry and a laugh.

"Huo Zhennan is a tough nut to crack. He actually... he actually managed to force the Gu worm to his forearm using some unknown method, and then tore off a piece of flesh with his mouth."

I... I was so close, so very close, to being killed by him.

Actually, I was just talking at first and didn't really intend to touch the Marquis's mansion. But everyone around me said that Huo Qingchuan is so clever, Huo Zhanfeng is unmatched, and Huo Qiuye has extensive connections in the capital. Once they realize what's going on, they'll investigate thoroughly. We can't leave any potential trouble behind!

"After that, my mind became confused, and I did whatever the people around me told me to do."

They said they wanted to act swiftly and decisively before anyone noticed.

Using the occasion of Huo Chang'an's wedding and the delivery of his dowry, evidence of treason was infiltrated, leading to his conviction and exile...

They were transporting the four Huo brothers to Northern Mongolia when they encountered Lin Mu switching them, so they killed Lin Mu...

That prince, whose whereabouts are unknown, always makes me feel uneasy.

I went to see Du Xin again and asked him to analyze the horoscopes of my children.

But even the divination could not determine the gender! It was said that one of the children's divination results was strange, as it was impossible to discern the sex!

"It must be that bastard from Jingzhou! Demons are always strange, I must get rid of him, I must get rid of him!"

But I can't find it, I can't find it!

Sang Ning felt so choked up that he almost vomited blood, and then pressed the shovel down on Yan Mingyu's hand.

At that time, Huo Chang'an had his fingernails pulled out, and he had to go through that experience too!

Now it all makes sense: it was Prince Hongkang and the Northern Mongols who joined forces to harm the Huo family!

But the shattered dream of the dog emperor gave those people an opportunity to harm others!

They all deserve to die!

"Ah—Sang Ning'er! I've told you everything, I've told you everything!"

“Yes, you already said it, so I’ll tell you now,” Sang Ning said.

"I am the Jingzhou you're looking for, you bastard!"

Yan Mingyu lost his voice.

Huo Jingya and the woman also looked at her in astonishment.

"Exciting, isn't it?" Sang Ning smiled sarcastically.

Another branding iron.

"Ah! Impossible! Sang Xiuqi... Sang Xiuqi said... He dares to lie to me!"

No, no, then you are my sister, we are family, you mustn't kill me... Ah!

Huo Jingya stepped on his branded hand, her eyes filled with rage.

"Who the hell is your sister? You're a bastard from Northern Mongolia!"

Yan Mingyu's hand, which had been branded, was now completely devoid of flesh, revealing only the bare white bone beneath.

He was in so much pain that he lost control of his bladder.

Like a stray dog ​​on its last legs, its willpower was not even as strong as that of the most ordinary guard in the imperial city.

This is the emperor of Dongyang.

It's really hilarious.

"Tell me, where is my father? Is he still alive?"

"...gone..."

Huo Jingya was about to stomp on him again when Yan Mingyu burst into tears: "He really is gone! I suspect that Liu Fu, who serves Father Emperor, smuggled him out of the secret chamber, but even after I killed Liu Fu, I still couldn't find out anything!"

"He's really not dead?" Huo Jingya asked, grabbing his head.

"I don't know... It was all the guards... They did it all. I was just a pitiful person being manipulated... If you release me, I won't be the emperor anymore. I'll just be a commoner."

"Let me go, and I'll never show my face again."

Some people commit heinous crimes that anger both heaven and man, yet they still think they can escape unscathed.

He's really eaten too much delicacies; his head's turned into a pig's head!

"Alright, I can release you, as long as you survive the torture."

After Sang Ning finished speaking, he shoveled at his first lumbar vertebra, and then Huo Jingya added a kick.

His back was completely broken.

The piercing cries were like those of hell.

“My eldest brother’s body has been damaged by the medicine, so let’s put him aside for now. My second brother’s body is covered with scars from wild animal bites. I’ll brand you 108 times first!”

Huo Jingya began branding Yan Mingyu's body.

The woman also picked up a shovel and began to help, gritting her teeth.

Yan Mingyu hadn't even lasted half of that time before he suddenly stopped breathing!

"How could he die?" Huo Jingya kicked him hard.

"I... I gave him a slow-acting poison; he wasn't going to live much longer anyway," the woman said, only just realizing it.

I was even a little annoyed.

Not enough torture!

Sang Ning was tired just now, and it was the two of them who did all the fighting. She also observed the woman and found that she was skilled in martial arts.

She seemed particularly excited when we talked about her second brother.

Yan Mingyu was dead, his face contorted, his eyes wide open, filled with extreme pain.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, do you think his eyes are blue? I can't see it."

“I didn’t see it either,” Sang Ning said.

The woman said, "Actually, I've never seen his eyes turn blue. Maybe he took some kind of medication to cover it up."

Doesn't he look like the late emperor?

Sang Ning had only seen the old emperor once, at the palace banquet where he plotted against Huo Chang'an, and had long forgotten what he looked like.

Huo Jingya shook her head: "Only the height is similar."

Ok.

With no reference available, it doesn't matter who he is anymore.

"Alas, it's a pity that he hasn't yet experienced the suffering that his eldest and third brothers endured."

Sang Ning looked at the woman and said, "And my second brother."

The woman looked up at her.

"Poor second brother, he was fed drugs that harmed his body and was forced to fight wild beasts like a beastman."

The woman's eyes widened, and gradually became misty.

"The most pitiful thing is that he returned home covered in wounds, only to be betrayed by his wife."
