Chapter 202 Twins

If you want to stir up trouble, you will have to bear the consequences of the emperor being angry.

The Emperor has no good feelings towards the Western Xia Kingdom this time. The Ten-Ball Crossbow makes its debut, so let's test its power in the Western Xia Kingdom.

If it were an ordinary war, 50,000 people would not be enough, but this time the emperor equipped them with 10,000 ten-crossbows.

With this, Lin Wu was confident that he could bring back as many people as he took with him.

"I am confident that I will fulfill my mission and destroy the Western Xia Kingdom." Lin Wu and Lin Shuo said to the emperor in unison.

"Okay! Lu Yang, handle the confiscation of officials' property as soon as possible, count them within two days, and all the assets obtained will be used as military funds." The emperor ordered Lu Yang.

After everyone received the order, the emperor called for the court to be adjourned.

After everyone had left, the emperor and Wei Xiaoran left the Golden Palace together and went to the Yangxin Palace.

The fake crown prince was temporarily imprisoned here.

The emperor sat on the high throne, looking at the eldest prince kneeling before him, and then he said in amazement: "How on earth do you look like? Even without the human skin mask, you look exactly like my eldest brother."

The fake prince snorted coldly and said nothing.

The Emperor continued, "When my eldest brother first went to guard the imperial mausoleum, his temperament was the same as before, with not much difference. Later, someone reported that the eldest prince was becoming increasingly irritable. I guess from that time on, you have replaced my eldest brother."

"What 'Eldest Brother'? You call him so affectionately, do you really treat him as your brother?" The fake eldest prince said sarcastically.

The emperor nodded: "Of course, although I want the throne, I have never thought of killing my eldest brother." The emperor said this sincerely.

Even when he knew that the eldest prince had sent someone to assassinate him, the emperor only had the eldest prince under guard and had no intention of taking his life.

The eldest prince has a gentle temperament and is naturally very good to him. In his heart, the emperor still remembers the kindness the eldest prince has shown him in the past.

The fake eldest prince laughed when he heard the emperor's words, his smile full of mockery: "You two really have a deep brotherly love. When I told him that you sent me to kill him, he actually said the same thing."

"Where is my eldest brother now?" asked the emperor.

The fake eldest prince looked straight at the emperor and said with a smile: "Where? Of course it is the underworld. But Your Majesty, not only is he your brother, but so am I."

The emperor blinked, looking a little confused, as if he didn't understand what he meant. But Wei Xiaoran had already reacted: "Twins?"

When the emperor heard the word "twins", he immediately had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and looked at the fake prince with a complicated look.

If it were an ordinary family, giving birth to two sons in one pregnancy would be a very joyful thing, but in the royal family, such a thing could not happen.

In the royal family, twins were considered an ominous sign, and only one of the two sons could survive.

Moreover, at that time, the late emperor had only one son, the eldest prince, who was successfully born. Judging from the situation at the time, the throne would most likely belong to the eldest prince, so one of the twins had to die or be sent away.

This fake crown prince was unfortunately chosen.

"Then how did you survive? How did you get in touch with the Western Xia Kingdom?" The emperor looked at the fake eldest prince and asked with a hint of pity in his eyes.

The fake eldest prince looked as if he had been slapped in the face, and shouted at the emperor: "Put away your pitying look, I don't need it!

I guess you still don’t know that your eldest brother’s mother and I are spies sent by the Western Xia Kingdom?

The eldest prince was left in the palace, while she secretly sent me out of the palace and sent me to the emperor of Xixia. I was raised by the emperor of Xixia since I was a child."

The emperor no longer needs to hear what happened next. The emperor of Western Xia simply wanted to use the fake eldest prince to get Yongyao.

The Western Xia Kingdom was just a small country. Compared with Yongyao, its national strength and military power were like a giant and a dwarf.

But even a dwarf has the desire to kill the giant. The emperor of Western Xia has been planning for more than 20 years and was almost able to swallow Yongyao.

If there wasn’t the variable Lin Qian.

The emperor looked at the fake eldest prince for a long time, and suddenly he didn't want to look at him anymore. This eldest prince had been taught very badly by the emperor of Western Xia. He had a loud tone, a bad temper, and big ambitions, but he didn't have the strength to match them.

"Since you are my blood relative, I will not kill you, but I will not let you go either. You will spend the rest of your life in prison." The emperor said to the fake eldest prince.

The fake eldest prince sneered: "I said, I don't need your pity and compassion, I know my own situation better than anyone else.

I know exactly why the Emperor of Western Xia raised me. In this world, I will always be the one who is abandoned.

I tried to take back everything I deserved, but failed. Now I feel indifferent. Maybe God wants to tell me that my coming to this world is just a mistake."

The emperor looked at the fake eldest prince in silence. His experience was so similar to his. Both of them struggled and tried, but fortunately, the emperor succeeded while the fake eldest prince failed.

The fake eldest prince was dragged away, and after he left, the emperor cursed the late emperor with gritted teeth, saying that the misfortune of these children was all the late emperor's fault.

By the time the Emperor had finished venting his anger, Wei Xiaoran had grown impatient and said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter is over, isn't it time to go and fetch the Empress back to the palace?"

After being busy for so long, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Wei Xiaoran now just wants to ask the queen and the little prince to leave his house as soon as possible, and then have a good rest with his wife in his arms.

When the emperor heard about Chen Junqi, he immediately nodded and said to Eunuch Su, "Hurry up and prepare the warm sedan chair. Let's go and bring Junqi and the little prince back." He hadn't seen Chen Junqi for almost a month, and he hadn't even seen his son yet.

The warm sedan was soon ready. When the emperor got on and prepared to leave, Eunuch Su was in trouble.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the people outside the palace have dispersed yet. If we go out now, will there be any accidents?"

Wei Xiaoran and the emperor then realized that there was still something unresolved and immediately looked at each other.

"The imperial edict has been posted. Let's go and take a look first. If there are still people who have not dispersed, I can explain it to them personally." The emperor said after thinking for a while.

Wei Xiaoran didn't care. All he wanted now was a wife and children. If he didn't have children, he had to hold his wife first.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the people did not disperse, but they were no longer as furious as before. Everyone's face was filled with fear and panic.

Standing in front of them were Lin Wu and a group of ministers, explaining the cause and effect of the matter to the people.
