Rong Yanqing had a calm expression, showing no obvious emotions.
He spoke softly, "What exactly is going on? Shouldn't Third Brother know better than me?"
Rong Youlin still looked confused.
"I didn't do anything."
Rong Yanqing lowered his eyes, "Third brother, do you still remember the birthday gift I gave you three years ago?"
Rong Youlin was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing.
"Of course I remember. You're a good brother to my brother."
Rong Yanqing raised her eyes and looked straight at him, "What did I give you back then? Do you still remember?"
Rong Youlin was being stared at by Rong Yanqing's dark eyes, and he had the illusion that he could not escape being seen.
He looked away. "Well, it's been a while, I don't remember much. Xiaojiu, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Rong Yanqing sneered, "Three years ago, when my third brother had his birthday, I was traveling abroad. I didn't even give him a birthday gift!
If you want to pretend to be the Third Prince, you should remember everything he has done in the past ten years!
Instead of being full of loopholes like it is now!"
Rong Yanqing said it out loud, and Rong Youlin's expression turned cold.
"So it was you who had Emperor Fufeng arrest me?! When did you start to doubt me?"
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself.
Now in the territory of Fufeng State, no one can save you except me.
If you tell me the truth, I will plead with the Emperor Fufeng on your behalf."
Rong Yanqing's tone was cold and stern, and the oppression he exuded made the fake Rong Youlin stiffen.

In the imperial study, Song Jiujiu was chatting with her father.
"Father, do you think the Ninth Prince can find out the purpose of this evil path?"
Song Jinming nodded, "Father thinks so. Although the Ninth Prince is still young, he is very mature and has great skills."
He praised Rong Yanqing, his tone showing appreciation for him.
Song Jiujiu blinked her big eyes in surprise, "Daddy, this is the first time Jiuer hears you praise someone else!"
Song Jinming smiled and ruffled his daughter's bun, "Because the Ninth Prince is indeed powerful, you have seen the plan he wrote.
If someone is not familiar with the matter, they might think it was written by a middle-aged strategist with a lot of experience.
Who would have thought that the person who wrote that plan was only eight years old.
This point alone is enough to prove the Ninth Prince's extraordinary qualities.
It is great that our Fufeng Kingdom can have good relations with the Xianchao Kingdom.
Otherwise, if the Ninth Prince becomes our enemy, Daddy can hardly guarantee that we can defeat him."
When Song Jiujiu heard this, her eyes widened and became round.
[Daddy, do you think so highly of the Ninth Prince?
If the Yan Chi Kingdom knew that their instigation had led to our cooperation with the Ninth Prince of the Xian Dynasty, they would be furious!
Song Jiujiu complained in her heart and smiled with her little mouth wide open.
The father and daughter were chatting when Rong Yanqing asked to see them.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have received some information from Fake Rong Youlin.
But I'm not sure if he has anything else to say. Please, Your Majesty, send someone to interrogate him again."
Song Jinming nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it. Tell me what you have learned from the interrogation."
"Jia Rong Youlin admitted that he was not the third brother of the foreign minister. He was a spy planted by the evil sect, who wanted to use the identity of the third prince to infiltrate the inner circle of the righteous sect's royal family.
The purpose of the evil path is to kill all the righteous ones, so as to replace them and take control of the entire Xian Dynasty.
One of the reasons why the leader of the evil sect asked him to come with the foreign officials this time was to persuade Your Majesty to cooperate with the evil sect and help them take down our righteous sect.
Not only that, the evildoers’ target is not only the Xian Dynasty, but also your country. They want to rule this continent!
Fake Rong Youlin knew that Her Royal Highness was the Emperor's most favored child, and he considered using Her Royal Highness as a hostage to force the Emperor to agree to his terms."
Rong Yanqing's words made Song Jinming and Song Jiujiu look unhappy.
[The evil ones are truly evil! We were just sitting at home when disaster struck us! They've even plotted against us!]
Song Jiujiu puffed out her cheeks and was very angry.
She asked Rong Yanqing in a baby voice, "Ninth Prince, that imposter is fake, so where is the real Third Prince?
And you just said that the evil sect wants to cooperate with my father to take down your righteous sect.
What you mean is that with the power of the evil ways, they can't defeat the righteous ways in your country, right?
So they have to ask for outside help?"
Song Jiujiu's round little face looked particularly serious.
Rong Yanqing was a little surprised to see that her little princess, who was only three years old, was asking these questions with clear thinking.
"It's hard to tell whether the evil forces are incapable or just want to drag your country into this conspiracy.
In recent years, evil forces have been very arrogant in our country. They are like sharpening a soft knife, killing or replacing people in the royal family bit by bit.
Several of my brothers have been killed by evil forces. I thought that only my third brother and I were left in the royal family, but I didn’t expect that even my third brother had already…”
Rong Yanqing choked up, took a deep breath and continued.
“The imposter said that more than three years ago, after my third brother returned from his travels, the evil people killed him and replaced his face with the imposter’s, letting the imposter take his place.
This is also why the imposter does not recognize the eldest prince Song, nor does he know that my third brother has ever been to your country."
When Song Jiujiu heard this, her big eyes widened.
"Face swap?! The Third Prince's face was swapped onto an imposter's?!"
Rong Yanqing nodded, "Yes, this is one of the evil techniques mastered by the evil sect, and the outside minister just learned about it from the imposter.
It seems that countless people in my country's court have had their faces changed and replaced by evil people."
Song Jinming couldn't help but frowned, "In this case, things will become complicated. If I send someone to lead the troops directly into your country's border,
If the evil ones discover that this is a collaboration between you and me, your father and the people of the righteous path will be in danger."
The three of them fell silent for a moment. This was indeed the case.
"What if we cooperate with the evil sect instead?"
Song Jiujiu thought about it, raised her little face to look at her father, then looked at Rong Yanqing, and expressed her thoughts in a baby voice.
"Since the evil sect's purpose in coming to our Fufeng Kingdom is to make Dad cooperate with them, take over the Xian Dynasty Kingdom, and kill the righteous sect, then
Then we can let the evildoers think that we are cooperating with them.
Regardless of whether the evil ones really wanted to kidnap Jiuer to threaten Daddy, or used other methods, at least their goal was to kill the righteous ones and take over the Xian Dynasty.
We can pretend to cooperate with the evil, and then act accordingly!"
Song Jinming and Rong Yanqing looked at each other.
"That's also possible. If it goes well, we can directly lure out the evil leader and wipe him out!"
Rong Yanqing was a little excited. He stood up and saluted Song Jinming and Song Jiujiu, father and daughter, and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Princess!"
