After Li's mother left, Mo Qian quickly squatted down, pulled back the blanket on the ground, and examined the tiles on the ground.

Then I noticed that one tile was clearly different from the others, standing out even more!

Mo Qian then peeled it back and found a mechanism under the tile!

When Mo Qian saw this mechanism, she knew that an important plot point was about to be unlocked!

A hint of amusement flickered across his face!

However, since it's still daytime, I'm worried that someone might come in, and it wouldn't be good if I got caught.

So, after taking a look, Mo Qian put it back to its original state, planning to check it again when it was late at night.

After all, to pray for the old lady, one must stay in the Buddhist hall for three days and three nights, chanting all night long!

There's no rush when the time comes!

So, after figuring it out, Mo Qian stopped thinking about investigating right now. Instead, she sat on the futon as if kneeling and pretended to be kneeling.

Although there were Buddhist scriptures in front of him, his mind had already wandered elsewhere.

Just then, Li's mother outside glanced into the room and saw Mo Qian kneeling earnestly on the prayer mat. A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, he was secretly thinking to himself, "Young lady is really overthinking things!"

The Second Miss is clearly very devout! How could she possibly be lying!

She's getting senile; she actually believed the quarrel between the sisters.

Then, Li's mother shook her head, smiled helplessly, and left completely.

At this moment, a glint of light flashed in Mo Qian's eyes!

midnight,

In the stillness of the night

Mo Qian, who was in the Buddhist hall, suddenly became alert from her drowsy state.

He then hurriedly got up and headed towards the unusual place he had discovered during the day.

After lifting the tile, Mo Qian saw the mechanism inside, and then she pressed the button!

The moment the mechanism was pressed, the Buddha statue in front of them suddenly turned to one side!

Then, Mo Qian saw that there was a secret room under the Buddha statue!

Upon seeing this, a flicker of excitement crossed Mo Qian's eyes.

Then, they went inside.

After descending through the dark room, Mo Qian arrived at a room!

After entering the room, Mo Qian began to look around.

Mo Qian walked to the dressing table and saw some men's accessories on it, which he had worn since childhood!

After checking the dressing table, Mo Qian walked towards the wardrobe next to it.

Upon opening the wardrobe, Mo Qian saw clothes that belonged to men and could be worn from childhood to adulthood.

Mo Qian took one out; it was densely sewn, but lacked the exquisite skill of a professional embroiderer.

It looks like it was made by someone who doesn't often handle needles and thread!

After looking at the wardrobe, Mo Qian went to the large bed in the room.

Then, Mo Qian saw a portrait on the bed!

It was a portrait of the current emperor!

Mo Qian knew from this that there must be a shocking secret involved!

Subsequently, Mo Qian not only found a portrait of the current emperor on the bed, but also a thick stack of papers with the current emperor's name written on them!

In particular, it was learned from the original owner's memories that the handwriting on that piece of paper belonged to the old lady of the Earl's Mansion!

This is quite intriguing!

Then, Mo Qian recalled the appearance of the old lady of the Marquis's mansion from the original owner's memories, and suddenly Mo Qian's eyes widened to the maximum!

A hint of surprise appeared on his face!

A deeply hidden secret has been discovered!

Mo Qian suddenly realized that the current emperor seemed to have some similarities with the old lady of the Marquis's mansion!

Considering that the original owner's father, the Earl of Suning, now spends his days in leisure!

Mo Qian's thoughts were chilling upon closer examination!

There must be some reason for this!

The old lady of the Marquis's mansion did not want her son to stand out and make achievements; instead, she indulged him in indulging in pleasure!

Adding everything to this dark room, there's only one truth!

The current emperor is probably not the biological son of the retired emperor!

And the Earl of the Mansion is probably the real son of the Emperor Emeritus!

When Mo Qian thought of this, she couldn't help but feel shocked and impressed by the old lady of the Earl's Mansion's actions!

It turns out that thirty years ago, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion was pregnant. She happened to be out offering incense when she met the Imperial Concubine who was traveling from the palace to pray for the good fortune of her unborn child!

That day, the originally sunny weather changed drastically in the afternoon! A thick fog descended, and soon a heavy rain began to fall!

The old lady of the Earl's Mansion and the Imperial Concubine were forced to stay in that temple!

They had planned to just spend the night there, and the two left the next day after the rain stopped.

However, unexpectedly, both of them went into labor that very night!

Because of the critical situation at the time, the Imperial Concubine had not prepared midwives or similar personnel beforehand, but the old lady of the Earl's Mansion had some midwives with her among the underground servants.

Therefore, in order to have a midwife help with the delivery, the Imperial Concubine shared a delivery room with the old lady of the Earl's Mansion!

This action gave the old lady of the Earl's mansion an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

When the Imperial Concubine fainted from exhaustion, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion gave her servants a look, instructing them to send away everyone around the Imperial Concubine.

Then, when no one was around, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion switched her own son with the prince born to Consort Na!

They want to switch the prince with a cat!

Before making the change, the old lady of the Earl's Mansion had clearly analyzed the current situation.

The Imperial Concubine's family is the powerful General's Mansion, which commands an army of 100,000, and behind it are other families holding high positions in the imperial court!

Compared to other concubines from less prominent maternal families, she had a significant advantage in the competition for the throne!

Furthermore, this is under the condition that the empress has already been deposed!

After thinking about this, the old lady of the Bo family wanted her own son to try his luck at this heavenly blessing!

So, the two were temporarily replaced!

After that, the two went their separate ways!

The old lady of the Marquis's mansion's own son did not disappoint her expectations in the end. He defeated all the princes and, with the help of his wife's family, ascended to the throne!

Meanwhile, the Earl of Suning, who should have been a prince, was living a dissolute and irresponsible life, going further and further down the path of a playboy!

After learning the truth, Mo Qian didn't know what to do for a moment.

After all, the current emperor has been on the throne for about ten years and has already secured his position!

If it were revealed now that he was not the Emperor Emeritus's biological son and was not the legitimate heir, he would surely be silenced!

Furthermore, even if she succeeds, and Lord Suning eventually ascends the throne, even if she manages to become a princess despite being above her station, wouldn't the female lead also be able to rise to the top in one step?

Mo Qian really didn't want the female lead to have it too easy!

So, Mo Qian restored everything to its original state and silently left the dark room.

Let's wait and see!
