Prince Kang was stunned for a moment. "There should be some left, right? Otherwise, wouldn't those spies he planted be useless?"
King Jing thought about it and nodded, "That's right, regardless of whether the impostor still has people loyal to him, we should be careful in case he has a backup plan.
After all, he has been replacing our father for more than ten years, so it is hard to guarantee that he has developed a power of his own. Third brother, you are right to be vigilant.
That’s it for now. Father, you and my third brother and his wife go back to Prince Kang’s Mansion first. I will go find my seventh brother and ask him about the situation in the capital during this period.
If anything happens, we'll send messages by pigeon."
When Song Jiujiu came back this time, she brought back a little sparrow and three pigeons.
Of course, they came here on their own. Instead of working hard to find food themselves, they preferred to exchange their labor for food given by the two-legged beast cubs.
"Okay, let's do it."
King Kang and his men discussed some details and then disguised themselves again.
This time, Song Jiujiu was hidden in her father's arms, and her father disguised himself as a fat man.
When they came in, there were three adults and one child, and when they left, there were only three adults.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and they entered through the back door of Prince Kang's Mansion.
As soon as they returned to the familiar place, King Kang and Ye Peizhu both breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to Qingzhu Courtyard, King Kang quickly released the little guy who was hiding in his clothes.
Song Jiujiu took two breaths and almost suffocated her.
As soon as they came back, Song Mubai and his brothers, as well as Gu Yunsheng, all came over.
But before they could salute, they saw Song Chengzhang sitting next to them.
That face that was exactly the same as the old emperor really shocked them.
Although they already knew from their father's letter that the current emperor was a twin, and their biological grandfather had been replaced by an imposter and was imprisoned in a cave.
But the shock brought by what you see in the letter and what you see with your own eyes is different.
Song Chengzhang looked at his grandchildren, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
"Hello everyone, you are Mu Bai, you are Wen Yu, you are Yan Che, you are Zi Xian, you are Le An, and you are Dong Zhuo.
This must be Miss Gu."
Song Chengzhang recognized them one by one.
"Grandfather, how did you recognize us?"
Song Le'an asked doubtfully.
"It was Jiuer who said that."
Song Jiujiu spoke in a baby voice, puffing out her little chest.
The brothers and Gu Yunsheng saluted.
Song Le'an happily hugged his sister in his arms, "Sister, do you miss your brother?"
Song Jiujiu sighed helplessly.
My sixth brother is truly heartless. Now, let's get down to business.
"I've thought about it."
Song Jiujiu struggled perfunctorily in her sixth brother's arms, then ran down and hugged her eldest brother's legs.
Song Mubai sat down, smiled, held his sister in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
"Grandfather, Father, Mother, now that you are back, what should we do next?
Are we going to follow the previous plan?"
Prince Kang nodded and said, "For now, we'll proceed as planned. Everything is almost ready now. Once our father shows up, all the truth will be revealed.
The most important thing now is not to let the counterfeit get away.
Miss Gu, I will trouble you when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already poisoned the fake. He won't be able to escape unless someone powerful helps him.
Even if he could really run, he wouldn't live long because of the poison in his body.
I only need to tell Mother Gu to activate the poison in his body and kill him."
Gu Yunsheng is quite confident in his witchcraft skills.
"That's good, Mu Bai, has anything else happened in the capital during the past few months since we left?
Also, to the outside world, your mother, sister, and I are no longer with us, but you haven't held a funeral for us. Did the fake person tell you anything about this?"
King Kang thought for a moment and asked.
Song Mubai thought for a moment, "Father, nothing special seems to have happened in the capital in the past few months. As for your funeral, the fake one once asked us why we didn't hold it.
Our reason is that we won’t believe that you are gone unless we see your bodies with our own eyes.
After saying this, the fake one said nothing more.
"In that case, then forget about everything else. Once we have a look at the situation with your uncles Jing and An, we should take action."
King Kang felt both excited and nervous at the thought of finally being able to pull the imposter off the throne.
At this time, it was the inner hall of Qiankun Palace in the imperial palace.
The old emperor's face was dark and he looked haggard, half lying on the bed.
"Someone come."
An Yi appeared silently in front of the old emperor's bed.
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"I heard that King Jing is back? Is there any unusual movement from his place?"
The old emperor's voice sounded weak.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual with Prince Jing. Prince Jing stayed here after returning to his palace."
"Go keep an eye on Prince Jing and Prince An. If they show any abnormality, report to me immediately. Ahem, ahem, I feel uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen."
As the old emperor spoke, he started coughing again.
"Yes, I will keep an eye on it. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave."
After An Yi left, he did not leave the inner hall directly, but continued to hide in the dark.
After a while, he found that another man in black whom he did not recognize appeared in front of the old emperor.
The man in black was obviously more skilled in martial arts than him, and he turned around and stared at him.
An Yi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly dodged.
An Yi waited in the dark for a while, and when he looked into the inner hall again, the man in black had disappeared.
He didn't even feel when that person disappeared!
An Yi's heartbeat quickened unconsciously. He left quietly, walked around the palace, and then went to Prince Kang's Mansion.
He even took detours on the way to prevent anyone from following him.
They arrived smoothly at the Qingzhu Courtyard of Prince Kang's Mansion and bowed after entering.
"Your subordinate greets His Majesty, the Prince and Princess, and all the gentlemen and ladies."
When King Kang saw that An Yi had arrived so quickly, he asked him hurriedly.
"An Yi, we've only just arrived in Beijing. Why are you here? Did the old emperor ask you to keep an eye on us?"
An stood up, and worry appeared in his eyes outside the veil.
"Yes, the impostor has his subordinates keep an eye on Prince Jing and Prince An. Also, the impostor seems to have other loyal subordinates."
An Yi revealed the existence of the man in black whose martial arts skills were superior to his.
When the people in the room heard this, their faces turned unhappy.
After all, the imposter has been in this position for more than ten years, so it is not impossible that he has developed new subordinates who are loyal to him.
"An Yi, when you informed the other secret guards of our father's existence, could an unidentified person have heard it?
Or, are there spies among those secret guards?"
