The subordinate sneered at the Second Prince, "Just a casual remark? She's been hoping for this day and night, thinking about it constantly. Do you even know who your biological father is?"
The second prince paused for a moment and said, "My biological father is of course the Emperor! The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom!"
The subordinate shook his head, looked the second prince up and down and said, "No! Your Highness, your biological father is a prince of the Moonbeam Kingdom. Your bloodline is pure Moonbeam Kingdom blood!"
The second prince took a few steps back, unable to speak in complete sentences.
"No, no! This is impossible! How could this be? I am a prince of the Dragon Kingdom!"
The subordinate looked at the Second Prince and said, "I didn't want to tell you this. I thought the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom would remember his past relationship with Consort Shu and favor you, and that you might even inherit the throne. But now, you've been thrown into prison. I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to turn things around."
Second Prince: "Hmph! Do you think there's still a chance to turn things around?"
Subordinate: "Yes! The Emperor of Moonshine Kingdom is now on the verge of death, and the royal bloodline is extremely scarce. You are of pure Moonshine Kingdom royal blood, and the King of Moonshine Kingdom has already paved the way for you, waiting for you to return and inherit the throne!"
Second Prince: "This...you're not just reading from a script to me, are you?"
The subordinate said, "Your Highness, I wouldn't dare joke about your background. Back then, your mother was a top beauty in the Moonlit Kingdom, and she and our prince were deeply in love. However, she caught the eye of the dog emperor of the Dragon Kingdom. For the sake of peace between our two countries, your mother had no choice but to marry that dog emperor!"
Second Prince: "But I have never heard my mother say that."
The subordinate produced a jade pendant: "This is the other half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, which is a perfect match for your mother's. It was a token of love given to her by our prince!"
The second prince tremblingly pulled a jade pendant from his pocket, which perfectly matched the jade pendant his subordinate had.
Seeing the Second Prince's tearful eyes, his subordinate said, "Your Highness, why not take this opportunity to rebel against that scoundrel emperor, kill him, and then let the people of Moonbeam Kingdom help you ascend the throne? That way, you can have the throne of two countries!"
The emperor, wearing a mask in the corner, heard everything clearly!
The Emperor walked up to them angrily and said, "You've really got a good plan! Well done! You've kept me in the dark for a long time!"
The second prince and his men were stunned to find the emperor suddenly appearing in the prison!
"Father, why did Father suddenly come here?"
The second prince asked tremblingly.
The Emperor said, "If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known what you'd all been hiding from me! Now I know everything! Consort Shu, you've deceived me so thoroughly!"
Originally, the Emperor was admiring a portrait of Consort Shu in his bedchamber.
But then a flash of light struck, and his mind suddenly went blank.
He suddenly remembered what Qiuqiu had said during the day: the Second Prince's secret. What could it be?
The emperor then closed the scroll, and to his surprise, he found a face mask and a letter on the table.
The letter stated: There may be poisonous gas in the prison, and wearing this mask can prevent the poisonous gas from entering.
The emperor, as if possessed, put on a mask and then went to the prison to visit the second prince.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon this scene.
When he arrived, the emperor already felt a vague unease.
At this moment, he gave an order, and the guards outside, fully armed, came in and surrounded the Second Prince and his men!
