Qiu Mobai was shocked when he heard Qingqing's voice! His eyes were full of disbelief.

King Xiaoyao?

The once famous and unruly prince actually had a child with Wei Ling! This was really unbelievable.

This child is the prince of King Xiaoyao, Zhao Yanji!

How is this possible!

The King of Freedom was named Zhao Jingxi.

He is the old emperor's youngest brother, but they are not born from the same mother.

In terms of age, King Xiaoyao is only a few years older than the deceased prince.

No matter whether it was the Crown Prince or the Prince of Yan, when they saw the King of Xiaoyao, they had to respectfully address him as "Imperial Uncle".

The current emperor has to call King Xiaoyao "Uncle Emperor"!

King Xiaoyao's fiefdom is located in Fengyang Prefecture on the coast of the East China Sea.

However, this prince pursued freedom all his life and did not like being restricted. He often traveled around to visit scenic spots and was indifferent to the affairs of the court.

It is said that King Xiaoyao's queen was just an ordinary peasant woman whom he met when he was traveling around.

Because of this, the old emperor bestowed on him the title of "King Xiaoyao" to show his tolerance and favor for his unique character.

At the same time, due to King Xiaoyao's laissez-faire attitude towards life, the old emperor had no suspicion of him and instead felt more at ease with him.

Now, King Xiaoyao is the one with the most say among the royal family members.

Qiu Mobai's frown deepened.

Others were also full of doubts.

Xie Mingjue pursed his lips tightly and spoke in a serious tone.

"Mo Bai, do we need to secretly investigate all the royal relatives?"

He paused, then continued, "See if anyone is colluding with Wei Ling!"

Yu Jinzhi felt very confused and puzzled about this!

"Even if Wei Ling has colluded with the royal family, she still cannot ascend the throne of the empress herself..."

He frowned and thought, "It feels like she went through so much hardship, but in the end she was just making wedding clothes for others."

Qiu Mobai clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. His eyes first fell on Hua Qingqing, then he glanced at everyone present.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Wei Ling is the biological mother of Prince Xiaoyao! She is also the princess of Prince Xiaoyao!"

This sentence was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the crowd! Everyone was stunned!

"What!"

"The mother of Prince Xiaoyao?"

"Wei Ling is actually Princess Xiaoyao!"

Various sounds of surprise came one after another.

"How is this possible?"

Everyone then realized that no one seemed to have seen Princess Xiaoyao!

"I've only heard that Princess Xiaoyao is an ordinary woman from the common people!"

“I didn’t expect it to be Wei Ling!”

Hua Qingqing stared at Qiu Mobai in disbelief, thinking to herself:

【Brother Qiu? 】

[How did he get the news? ]

【Just found out? 】

[Brother Qiu shouldn’t know...]

[This is so strange...]

Hua Qingqing was full of suspicion.

Facing everyone's astonished gaze and Hua Qingqing's surprised look.

Qiu Mobai never dared to look Hua Qingqing in the face, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty and uneasy.

Xie Mingjue frowned and stared at Qiu Mobai, as if trying to find the answer from his face.

"So, Wei Ling has actually been doing this for her own son all along?"

Yu Jinzhi was also very surprised and muttered to himself: "This way, everything makes sense. If King Xiaoyao becomes the emperor, then Wei Ling will be the queen who rules the country."

"It seems that King Xiaoyao only has this one child, the Crown Prince. From this perspective, the Crown Prince will definitely be canonized as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

General Situ kneaded his brows in an intolerable manner and said in a deep voice: "That's right. In this way, Wei Ling can truly be considered the one who holds power! And she has a legitimate reason!"

After hearing what everyone said, Hua Qingqing shook her head slightly, indicating that she did not agree with it.

[The real purpose of Wei Ling's stirring up trouble is to make the King of Yan and the Emperor fight each other, and both will suffer in the end.]

[And Wei Ling will seize the opportunity and secretly do her utmost to stab the King of Yan to death.]

[After all, the emperor is already poisoned and won't live long! ]

[By that time, the Prince of Yan would have died, and neither the Emperor nor the Prince of Yan would have any children.]

[What's more, the King of Qi and the King of Liang had both passed away before this, and all of their descendants had died.]

[Prince Xiaoyao and the Crown Prince are the last royal bloodline and can legitimately ascend the throne! ]

[In fact, King Xiaoyao will not live long. Wei Ling also fed him a chronic poison. He has at most one and a half years to live.]

[This was also planned by Wei Ling. After a year and a half, when King Xiaoyao has firmly established himself as the emperor and dies, the throne will be passed on to the crown prince.]

[By then, Wei Ling will be the most honorable woman in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the Empress Dowager.]

[The emperor is still her biological son! ]

[The entire Great Sheng Dynasty is in the hands of them, mother and son. They have the final say in the world! ]

Qiu Mobai listened to Qingqing's inner voice, with a dark light in his eyes.

He directly instructed Xie Mingjue, "Mingjue, find a way to check on Prince Xiaoyao and the Crown Prince to see where they are recently!"

"Also, keep a close eye on Wei Ling, Ju An and the others!"

Xie Mingjue nodded, "Yes!"

Yu Jinzhi thought for a moment and said, "Ten days ago, King Xiaoyao took the Crown Prince away from Bianjing City, and it seems that they are returning to their fiefdom!"
