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

“That’s impossible. Prince Hua has no concubines,” Sang Ning told her firmly.

Mrs. Lin was startled.

"Is what you said true, Madam? But the portrait she sent looks very much like my husband's sister in his memory, and there is a small mole between her eyebrows."

My husband said that was his sister.

"That only means she knows your sister, and maybe she's in the Hua family, but the claim that she's a concubine is definitely a lie."

It seems that's the case.

"That Grand Princess knows everything about her husband's background. I wonder when she found his sister. This person is truly terrifying."

Madam Lin became restless: "My husband went to the Hua family to rescue his sister. Could something have happened to him?"

"Of course! Do you think he can mess with the Hua family?"

That couple is really ruthless! They have no idea how terrifying the Hua family is!

"Go after him and bring him back!"

Mrs. Lin hurriedly went to call for help.

"Madam, Madam—the General, he..."

A soldier ran over from a distance.

Madam Lin's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

"What's wrong with General Lin!" Sang Ning shouted.

"The general has been brought back!"

It's back, it's back... the head!

Mrs. Lin's mind went blank for a moment, and then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

She clutched her stomach, her face deathly pale.

Ling Feifei knew immediately that she had miscarried, so she quickly found a medicine for her to take.

Sang Ning was also taken aback.

In just a short while, Lin Dong was...

Lin Dong was brought back!

It was Qi Bai and Ling Zhou who brought it back.

The two threw the cursing Lin Dong to the ground.

"You can't even get into the capital, yet you want to go into the Hua family to find someone?" Qi Bai's cold tone was flat, but extremely insulting.

Then they bowed to Sanning.

Lin Dong's face flushed red, and he cursed resentfully, "What's it to you? Who are you people?"

“They used to be the Grand Princess’s Black Armor Guards. You can’t even handle one of them, yet you want to save people. That’s really reckless,” Sang Ning said.

"Where's the portrait the Grand Princess gave you? Stop yelling, show it to them, maybe they'll know where it is?"

what?

These two know!

Lin Dong dared not curse anymore.

He quickly pulled the portrait out of his person.

He held it out with both hands for Qi Bai and Ling Zhou to see.

“I’m happy,” Qi Bai said.

“He’s dead,” Ling Zhou said.

Lin Dong's hopeful gaze slowly faded.

"How did you die? When did you die?" Sang Ning asked quickly.

this point is very important.

She needed to confirm that Lin Dong's decision to open the city gates did not lead to her sister's death.

Although she didn't think the Grand Princess would be so well-informed.

Qi Bai reported: "Ten days ago, Huanxi and Huanyi drugged the prince and tried to molest him, but were ordered to be beaten to death by the Grand Princess."

ten days ago.

It was also the day the Grand Princess gave him the order!

So, she killed her sister while simultaneously tricking him into working for her!

They're treating him like a fool!

Deceiving too much!

Lin Dong felt both pain and hatred. He wished he had never known anything about his sister, so he could still imagine that she was living peacefully somewhere unknown.

Why give him hope only to cruelly destroy it?

Sang Ning asked Qi Bai in a low voice, "Why aren't you with Jing Ya? What are you doing here?"

"The Grand Princess has summoned 100,000 troops from Ningzhou to attack us from the side. Our master has ordered us to escort the lady away."

Another 100,000 troops have arrived.

She intends to trap Huo's army, but I'm afraid more will arrive soon!

Sang Ning doesn't live much longer, so what's the point of wasting manpower?

"No need, you should all go back to her."

She needs to think carefully about where else she can borrow troops.

There must be another way.

If we just delay a little longer, we can wait for reinforcements.

After his initial grief, Lin Dong's eyes were filled with intense hatred.

"Yan Zhinan! You think I'm just an insignificant pawn in your scheme? I'll catch you completely off guard!"

Sang Ning never expected that Lin Dong knew a huge secret.

The late emperor was the son of the late emperor and Yan Zhinan!

Even the two wooden figures, Ling Zhou and Qi Bai, were horrified.

"This is absolutely true. When the late emperor died, all his close palace servants were buried with him, but one eunuch managed to escape."

He escaped the palace and lived as a beggar in a dilapidated temple.

When I was a child, I often gave him food, and he taught me kung fu.

Later, when he died, not wanting to die with this secret, he told me.

"..."

"..."

"Impossible. Children born to siblings are most likely to be mentally challenged. The late emperor wasn't mentally challenged," Sang Ning grinned.

She suspected that the eunuch had fabricated the story out of spite.

This sounds like something out of a historical anecdote.

"Who said they're siblings?" Lin Dong sneered. "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Yan Zhinan, she's not the Grand Princess at all! The real Grand Princess is dead!"

She starved to death in the cold palace when she was eight years old. Yan Zhinan was just a palace maid who survived by taking her place.

She and the late emperor relied on each other for many years; the world only thought it was a sibling relationship, but they didn't know it was a marital relationship!

Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, he bestowed upon her the title of Grand Princess.

She did a great deal of work to consolidate power in the court.

However, later, after the late emperor had an empress and many concubines, the Grand Princess became estranged from him.

At this time, the head of the now-declining Hua family asked to marry the Grand Princess, and she agreed.

In the years that followed, the Grand Princess had a very poor relationship with the late Emperor.

Only after the death of the imperial son-in-law did the two reconcile.

After Lin Dong finished speaking, the others were even more shocked and speechless.

Only Sang Ning's eyes shone brightly, and she even started to tell other stories from it.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel!

"I suspect that the Flower Prince Consort was killed by them."

We need to spread this word quickly. Whether the Hua family will fall apart or not, at least the number of people supporting the Grand Princess will decrease. She has no legitimate claim to the throne; she's not a true member of the royal family!

This era places too much emphasis on lineage.

Even though Huo's army was a righteous force, it was still criticized and called traitors.

Now let's see whose identity is more despicable.

“But that eunuch has been dead for many years, and we have no evidence at all,” Lin Dong said, distressed.

"Evidence? We have evidence! Find an old eunuch, have him impersonate him, give him his real name, real story, and let them investigate!"

Never underestimate the power of words in any era; they can truly kill.

"Furthermore, there are so many veteran officials in the court. I don't believe they didn't notice anything amiss before. As long as we can find one or two witnesses..."

"The Grand Princess's palace secrets—this doesn't even need special publicity; the people love to hear it."

If the Grand Princess was merely a woman with strong political skills, Sang Ning would admire her greatly.

But it's clear she isn't.

Her methods were too insidious and devoid of any human decency.

So she didn't give her any face!

Let her taste the bitterness of losing her reputation in her later years and being abandoned by everyone.

Lin Dong's eyes gleamed: "I think it's a good idea!"
