Liu Tan looked at the palace maid and Liu Fuling, then smiled for a moment, "Did you come all the way here just to tell me a joke?"

Liu Fuling said, "I know this might be hard for Fifth Brother to accept, but have you ever considered why the Queen could keep you outside the palace for so many years without paying any attention to you? Why did she favor Princess Danyang so much? A good prince, are you willing to be raised outside the palace for so many years?"

Liu Tan thought to himself, to be honest with you, I would rather leave the palace and become a playboy in a marquis's family than become a prince. This job is too difficult!

But he didn't lose the battle. Liu Tan looked at Liu Fuling quietly and said, "Just say what you want to say. I'm too lazy to guess."

Liu Fuling smiled, a hint of sympathy on his face and eyes. "You're not too lazy to guess, you just don't dare to believe it. With your intelligence, can't you figure out these questions? The Queen is not your biological mother at all."

After Liu Fuling finished speaking, he waited. He was waiting for Liu Tan to lose his composure, get angry, or be incredulous. Anyway, that expression would definitely be very nice.

However, to his disappointment, Liu Tan's expression was still very calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was being unreasonable.

Liu Tan's expression remained unchanged, but Liu Fuling's expression gradually darkened. He looked at Liu Tan and asked, "You don't believe it?"

"If you want me to believe you, you have to provide evidence, right?" Liu Tan was very calm. Of course he believed it. Liu Che and Chen Ajiao had jointly confirmed this matter in front of him.

How could he not believe it? Liu Che almost made him choose between his biological mother and his adoptive mother in front of Chen Ajiao.

But how did Liu Fuling know about this?

As for the person Liu Fuling brought, he didn't believe at all that she was the biological mother of this body.

It's very simple. Judging from the few words that Chen Ajiao said, this woman should have been silenced by her.

The fact that Princess Danyang lived to this age is enough to prove that Chen Ajiao had indeed concealed the truth and made everyone believe that she had given birth to a prince, and no one knew that she had cheated on the emperor.

Even Emperor Wu of Han failed to discover it at the first time. Lady Gouyi had probably just entered the palace at that time. Even if she was favored, she was still immature. How could she know something that even Emperor Wu of Han had been kept in the dark about?

As for saving the biological mother of this body, that is almost impossible. Will Chen Ajiao really keep such important living evidence?

Liu Fuling said, "Isn't she the evidence?"

Liu Tan glanced at him coldly and said, "I also said she was your biological mother."

Liu Fuling turned to the palace attendant and said, "You speak for yourself."

The palace maid looked at Liu Tan with eager anticipation, tears in her eyes as she said, "Your Highness, it's alright if you don't acknowledge me. I...I just want to see you. You were born weak, and I've been worried about you all these years, but I couldn't even see you from afar. Now that I see you're in good health, I'm completely satisfied."

Liu Tan turned to look at Liu Fuling, his face full of expression saying: That's it?

What kind of evidence is this?

Liu Fuling said impatiently, "I didn't bring you here to pour out your heart!"

The palace maid shuddered, then gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness has a red petal-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder!"

Liu Fuling looked at Liu Tan, a smile on his face again: "Fifth brother, this matter can be considered a secret, right?"

The birthmark on the prince's body will not be easily told to anyone. It will be recorded in the palace books, but those books are not available to everyone, and those who serve the prince personally will not tell others about it.

Liu Tan looked at Liu Fuling as if he were a fool and said, "I grew up outside the palace."

Children from ordinary families don't have so many requirements, not to mention that Liu Tan used to be one of the local playboys, and he had quite a few friends. It was normal for them to go out swimming or taking a bath together, and it was not a secret at all.

Liu Fuling didn't expect Liu Tan to be so difficult to deal with, and his defenses were never broken from the very beginning.

He stared at Liu Tan intently for a long while, then suddenly thought of something and paused for a moment before saying, "You...you already knew it!"

Liu Tan scratched his ears and said, "What do I know? I know nothing."

Liu Fuling's eyes widened: "You knew about this a long time ago, but you didn't even go to look for your own mother. You... you are simply..."

Liu Tan didn't say anything. He really didn't go looking for her. Chen Ajiao said that she had killed someone, so he just pretended that person didn't exist. He didn't verify whether it was true or not, nor did he try to find out what kind of person she was.

He inherited this body, but he did not inherit the various causes and effects of this body.

The feelings he developed with Liu Che and Chen Ajiao were developed during their later interactions, and both of them were very kind to him.

As for Li Xi's family... there was no way to escape this, not to mention that Li Buyan cried so miserably in front of him. When he thought that Li Xi might be castrated, he felt a little reluctant. The main reason was that Li Xi really didn't do anything wrong. It was just because he had a title that he took advantage of the country, making Liu Che realize that his purse was not full enough, and he was unhappy so he made trouble.

What's more, he thought that growing grapes didn't seem to be a difficult thing in advance, but in the end... I can only say that imagination is always the best.

As for the Virgin Mary in this body, neither Liu Che nor Chen Ajiao took her seriously, so Liu Tan tacitly assumed that this person did not exist.

He also wondered if this person was still alive, but if she was, it might be better to let her live in obscurity in some corner rather than being found.

After all, if she really found out, the first thing Chen Ajiao would probably do is kill her.

A queen has too many excuses to execute a palace maid. Even Emperor Liu Che would condone this practice in order to cover up what could be considered a palace scandal.

As if he had found a new weapon, Liu Fuling whispered a threat, "Tell me, if those people knew that you weren't born to the queen, let alone a legitimate son, would they still support you?"

Liu Tan looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you mentally ill?"

Where do he get his supporters? He doesn’t even know a few ministers in the court.

If he really had supporters, would he be bombarded by Shi Qing in the court?

Huh? Liu Tan suddenly remembered something. Liu Che had once visited his home with a group of military officers. After leaving, those officers seemed very satisfied and happy. Could it be that Liu Fuling thought he had won them over?

So that’s why they created this person who is the fifth prince’s biological mother?

When Liu Tan thought of this, he felt that this matter must be dealt with quickly. If it really involved a fight for the throne, then... Liu Che wanted you to die at three o'clock in the morning, and you might die at two o'clock.

Thinking of this, Liu Tan decisively turned around and said to the people behind him, "Take her and follow me."

Miao Rui and Bigo had been very unhappy for a long time. They must have heard some rumors, but they had been pretending to be deaf and dumb and tacitly acknowledged that Liu Tan was the queen's son.

After all, no matter how Liu Che and Chen Ajiao fell out, they never publicly announced Liu Tan's background, so these two were in a tacit agreement. What qualifications do others have to threaten them with this matter?

Liu Fuling immediately felt uneasy and stopped Liu Tan and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Tan looked at him coldly and said, "Aren't you insisting on saying this is my biological mother? If I deny it, you'll accuse me of being cold-blooded. So, naturally, why not ask Father? I believe nothing in this world can be hidden from Father."

When in doubt, ask the parents for help. Liu Tan found that this trick is really useful.

Liu Che knew everything anyway, so what was he afraid of?

This time it was Liu Fuling's turn to panic. He grabbed Liu Che's wrist and said in shock, "Are you crazy? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Liu Tan smiled at Liu Fuling and said, "This should be a question you are thinking about, not me."

Liu Tan has always been passive, while Liu Fuling is proactive. No matter where he found this person, it is enough to make Liu Che angry.

If Emperor Wu of Han was more biased, he might not think it was Liu Fuling's idea, and would vent his anger on Lady Gouyi.

If he really took his anger out on others, I think Chen Ajiao would be happy.

Liu Fuling gritted his teeth and said, "If you really go to find the emperor, this man will definitely die!"

The palace servant who had been strung up also cried out in due time, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I know I shouldn't have appeared before Your Highness. It was my own wishful thinking that made me want to do that. I will never disturb Your Highness's life again. Please spare my life!"

Liu Tan turned around and said, "Shut her mouth. She's making a lot of noise in the palace. That alone is enough to punish her."

The palace maid closed her mouth in fear. This was not what she had imagined.

Before this, when Lady Gouyi came to her, she told her that the Fifth Prince was kind and gentle by nature and would definitely not ignore her.

She also heard about Liu Tan's care and help for Li Xi's family, and thought that since she was his biological mother, he would not ignore them.

But why is it different now than what I thought before?

Liu Fuling also found that the development of the situation was different from what he expected. Shouldn't Liu Tan be very cautious about such things? Why did he think of looking for his father?

Liu Fuling subconsciously took two steps back. He knew with his toes that Emperor Liu Che would not like his son doing such a little trick in private.

There was no way Liu Tan would let him get away. He grabbed his wrist and said, "Now that you're here, don't leave. We have to find out the truth first."

Liu Tan glanced at Bi Gao as he spoke, then tilted his head slightly towards the Prince's Palace.

Bi Gao was stunned for a moment before he realized that Liu Tan wanted him to find Crown Prince Liu Ju.

For a moment, Bi Gao was a little hesitant. This kind of thing... the fewer people who know about it, the better. Involving the prince didn't seem like a good thing.

But in Liu Tan's view, this is a good thing. Everyone knows his background tacitly. In comparison, Liu Ju's background is better than his. At least his biological mother is a legitimate concubine. In this way, Liu Ju's vigilance against him will be reduced to the lowest level.

Seeing that Liu Tan insisted, Bi Gao had no choice but to turn around and go to the Prince's Palace.

Liu Fuling was determined to intercept him, but Liu Tan refused to let him go.

Although Liu Fuling might be stronger than Liu Tan due to his martial arts training, he was helpless when facing Liu Tan, who had no martial ethics and almost hugged him and wouldn't let him leave.

When he saw Liu Ju rushing over, he once again used his universal sentence: "Are you crazy?"

When Liu Tan saw Liu Ju coming, he let him go. Then he straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Yeah, you have nothing better to do than to bother me. I think you're crazy too. It's a good opportunity to see who's crazier between us."
