Chapter 1308 Secret 8

Marquis Xiang Ming frowned, and after careful consideration, he became somewhat certain. If his guess was true, and Princess Changyang was of royal blood, then Nan Xiang would be the most legitimate member of the royal family today.

Zhan Chi's expression changed from uncertainty at the beginning to solemnity now. The Zhan family has been in the court for many years. Since the emperor ascended the throne, what they did to their brothers has caused many officials to talk about them behind their backs.

At that time, many people begged the emperor to forgive the princes who had not rebelled. The emperor drove them back to their fiefdoms on the surface, but secretly arranged to kill them.

The aristocratic families at that time were well aware of the emperor's cruelty. Princes have always been brutal in seizing the throne since ancient times. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had to obey because he was the emperor's only heir after all.

The Zhan family was also involved in the incident in the court back then, but my father later saw the situation clearly and chose to avoid the limelight.

Many of the older generations of these aristocratic families were loyal to the late emperor. Just as Ye Qianning said, if the emperor's royal bloodline was not exposed, the aristocratic families would definitely rebel.

But how could Princess Changyang be of the late emperor's bloodline?

The late emperor my father mentioned was an upright and righteous ruler. He couldn't possibly be a villain who forcibly took another man's wife...

"This matter is of great importance. I will ask Mr. Chen to come and discuss it in detail." Xiang Minghou stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait a moment."

Xiang Minghou stopped and turned around.

"Master, please come to Xiang Mansion." It is not convenient for Si Yinfang to be exposed yet.

Xiang Minghou then remembered where they were and nodded: "Let's go back to the mansion first."

"I'm going to find my father, and we'll meet up at the mansion later." Zhan Chi felt that the older generation knew more about their affairs than they did.

Perhaps they can find some clues about many things.

——

An hour later, in the Xiang family study.

Old Chen sat at the top, Zhan Yi sat at the lower left, Zhan Chi stood behind him, Qian Fu sat at the lower right, Qian Fanji stood beside him, Gu Shuo, Xiang Minghou and Ye Qianning stood at the end.

"Ning girl, come here and let grandpa see you." Qian Fu noticed Ye Qianning as soon as he entered the door.

"Qianning greets grandpa." Ye Qianning stepped forward swiftly and bowed.

Qianfu stood up excitedly and went forward to help her up: "Child, you have suffered a lot these years."

Ye Qianning stood up and was a little taller than Qian Fu.

Ten years have passed, and time has left traces on everyone's face. The old man who looked strong back then now has a hunched back and all white hair.

Qianfu looked at the person who was taller than him, and his heart was filled with sadness, excitement and joy: "She is so graceful, good, good."

There were many rumors along the way to the capital, and he heard all kinds of bad rumors, but he always believed that his son and granddaughter would never be unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Now that I see you, there is no need to doubt.

"Grandpa, please sit down." Ye Qianning helped Qian Fu sit down, and he stood beside him, side by side with Qian Fanji.

Zhan Yi and Qian Fu didn't get along well to begin with, and when he saw his granddaughter standing next to him, he glared at Qian Fu several times out of jealousy.

"What happened to Lord Ming?" Old Chen asked.

Xiang Minghou nodded seriously, and his internal energy spread out.

When Zhan Yi came, his son Jianye mentioned it briefly. It was just one sentence and his heart was still trembling. When he heard the question, he immediately looked at Xiang Minghou.

Qian Fu didn't know what was going on, and felt that sitting here was too abrupt. Seeing that Xiang Minghou hadn't spoken yet and had displayed his inner strength, he thought it was a big deal. He stood up and said consciously, "I just saw the guards coming to ask for Mr. Chen, and since they were anxious to see Miss Ning, they followed him. If you guys have something to do, I'll go out and have some tea."
