The words "no successor" made Song Chengzhang's heart skip a beat.
"Daughter-in-law, please tell me what happened in these years. I have no idea what's going on outside."
Ye Peizhu nodded and went straight to talking about what had happened in the past year. She also told him about how the old emperor had used Prince Kang as a target and made the brothers plot against and kill each other.
"Father, of your seven sons, only Prince Kang, Prince Jing, and Prince An are still alive.
The three princes saw through the impostor's plan and planned to drive him off the throne.
But even if we wanted to usurp the throne, we have no legitimate reason, and we are worried about what to do.
Unexpectedly, because of Jiuer's dream, we discovered your existence by accident.
Now, the crumbling Fufeng Kingdom royal family is only saved by you!"
Ye Peizhu's words made Song Chengzhang's face turn pale.
His lips were trembling and his head was buzzing.
In an instant, he felt that the more than ten years he had spent here for the sake of his children's lives was a joke.
That man didn't keep his promise and didn't treat his children well...
"Grandpa, don't be sad."
Seeing that her grandfather was about to faint, Song Jiujiu quickly took his big hand to comfort him.
Song Chengzhang felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and tears and hatred welled up in his cloudy eyes.
He took a deep breath and held his granddaughter's soft little body in his arms. "Grandpa is not sad. Grandpa just regrets. I regret that I was so stupid and trusted the words of that villain!"
Song Jiujiu sighed softly and patted her grandfather's arm with her little hands.
"Grandpa doesn't cry."
[It's not too late now. At least things haven't developed to the point like in the previous life where the entire Kangwang family was executed, with some dead and some going crazy.
In the past, I could never understand why the old emperor was so cruel. Could it be that the throne was really more important than his sons?
Now I finally understand. It turns out that the old emperor was an imposter, and the princes and grandchildren were not his at all.
In the eyes of the imposter, the only thing he could hold on to was the throne.
In our previous life, the source of our family’s suffering could be said to be the old emperor.
Killing the old emperor in this life can be considered revenge for the past life! 】
Song Chengzhang, whose head was still buzzing, felt his brain was a little confused as he listened to his granddaughter talking about her previous life.
Previous life?
In the previous life, the entire Kangwang Mansion was executed?!
So in his previous life, was his existence discovered?
"Grandpa, um, what's the difference between Heihei Dawan and Senmo?"
Song Jiujiu suddenly thought of this.
In my dream, I saw my grandfather eating black meatballs. The old emperor also ate a kind of pitch-black meatball. I wonder if they were eating the same thing.
Song Chengzhang listened to his granddaughter's baby voice in a trance and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.
"Is this what Nannan is talking about?"
"Yes, yes, that's it! Is it Senmo, Grandpa?"
Song Jiujiu held the small porcelain bottle in her little hand, leaned forward to smell it, and immediately her face wrinkled.
"Smelly!"
Song Chengzhang smiled and put the cork back on, "This is what that person gave me, saying it can prolong my life.
I don't know if it's true, but these past few years I've been thinking that I'll eventually live to see my children and the Song family, so I've been eating it, and it seems to be having some effect."
Ye Peizhu looked a little strange when she heard this, "Something that prolongs life? Father, I've heard rumors about twins, but I don't know if it's true.
It is said that some twins will live and die together, and if one dies, the other will not survive.
Could it be that the counterfeit is giving you this life-extending food so that he can live well?
My daughter-in-law has also seen fakes eat these black meatballs."
When Song Jiujiu heard this, his chubby face immediately wrinkled.
[If it is true that twins live and die together, then wouldn't it be for grandpa's sake that we can't kill the fake one?
But if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.
I'm still a little worried that if I don't kill the fake one, he'll do something weird.
After all, the counterfeit's temperament is truly terrifying.]
Song Chengzhang touched his granddaughter's fluffy head.
“Since it’s just a rumor, it may not be true. Maybe he did this because he heard the rumor.
That man is selfish, suspicious and violent. If the truth is revealed one day, you must find a way to catch and kill him!
There is no need to worry about whether my life will be affected by him. It is enough that I can live until now and see you again.
By the way, have you captured all the guards guarding outside?
We can't give them the chance to escape and tell that person what's happening here.
We must act quickly and catch him off guard before he knows you've taken me away from here!"
Prince Kang sniffed and said, "Don't worry, father. Those people in black have been captured."
Seeing that his third son had finally stopped crying, Song Chengzhang jokingly said, "You finally stopped crying. You're already a grown-up, don't let your daughter laugh at you."
King Kang choked, and his red eyes met his daughter's big grape eyes.
Song Jiujiu blinked her eyes and stretched out her hands to pat her father like a little adult, "Daddy is crying, shame on you, Jiuer won't laugh at you."
King Kang: “…”
"Baby, you are already making fun of Daddy."
Song Jiujiu blinked her big grape eyes and pretended not to understand.
The atmosphere in the cave was warm, but suddenly sounds of fighting and wolf howling were heard from outside the cave.
