What kind of order has such a big impact?
It can allow all the bandits in the village to enter the court and become officials.
Is this the court run by your family?
Wanyue pulled out all the clues she had obtained over the past few days and carefully sorted them out in her mind.
The old emperor didn't care about the life or death of Prince Ming and Feng Chen, and let them fend for themselves in this bandit's nest.
Of course, the focus is Feng Chen, the sixth prince of the current dynasty and the sixth son of the emperor.
The emperor ignored him, even though he was his own flesh and blood.
And...the prince.
She remembered that Prince Ming had said not long ago that the Crown Prince was suspected of plotting to murder the Third Prince, so he was sent to the south by the Emperor to fight the plague.
This is also a life-threatening job.
Of the old emperor's sons, the only ones who survived the palace fighting were the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Sixth Prince Feng.
The funeral of the third prince has been held, and now the two remaining old emperors obviously don't want them to live.
So...is the old emperor planning to end his own lineage?
Is it so cruel?
If they all die, who will inherit the emperor's throne?
I heard that the old emperor has been in poor health in recent years and is almost dying.
He killed all his sons and then died of illness himself. This was a sign of the country's destruction.
The coffin lid of the Feng Kingdom’s ancestors can no longer be held down.
Unless the old emperor is stupid, he won't betray himself like this, right?
So there must be something wrong here.
So what exactly is wrong?
Wanyue suddenly remembered the Third Prince's wife who was keen on pretending to cry on the day of the Third Prince's funeral, and the portrait on the mourning hall.
What if...the Third Prince didn't die?
Wanyue recalled the scene she saw while having dinner at Huayu Tower that day.
Maybe the Third Prince is not really dead.
But it still doesn't make sense. The mastermind behind this is the old emperor. The third prince is indeed dead on the surface, and because of this, the old emperor found an excuse to send the prince away.
Wanyue felt a slight pain in her head.
Sure enough, jobs that require brainpower are not suitable for her.
It's better to take it slow. Overusing your brain is not good.
For the sake of her clever little brain, Wanyue happily threw out all the clues that were tangled up in her mind.
Here, the four big men covered their mouths after they finished telling the news.
Four pairs of big eyes kept blinking, which looked quite cute.
The four men: “…”
What did they just say?
Why do I feel a chill on my back?
Wanyue looked at them and mourned silently for their poor IQ.
"Are you tired, brothers?"
The four big men covered their mouths and blinked in confusion.
Why does the girl ask this?
The next second, Wanyue's actions answered them.
Under the gaze of four pairs of big eyes, Wanyue walked around behind the big men, and then... raised her hands and smashed them hard at their backs.
As the four big men fell limply to the ground, Wanyue stretched out her left hand and rubbed her right arm.
Hitting someone is a physical job, and she is still a wounded person.
Oh, she really tried her best.
Wanyue walked around the four fallen men and came to the iron gate. She pulled out the hairpin and opened the door according to the same procedure.
Prince Ming and his two companions had been guarding behind the door since the beginning, fearing that Wanyue would suffer a loss if she faced four big men alone.
But the facts are indeed shocking.
Wanyue didn't suffer any loss.
The ones who suffered the most were the four big men. Look, they all fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Wanyue pushed open the iron gate, and Prince Ming walked out first. Behind him, Feng Chen followed out holding the unconscious Mu Qingli.
Prince Ming had just listened to the entire process by sticking to the iron gate. He had more than once marveled in his heart at the intelligence and talent of his precious daughter.
He fooled the four big men around, got the information from them, and then knocked them down without any delay.
She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of Prince Ming!
"My daughter is awesome."
Wanyue accepted Prince Ming's praise without changing her expression.
"Old man, did you hear what they said just now?"
Prince Ming nodded and then fell into deep thought. "According to what these four bandits said, the leader of this village should be cooperating with someone in the imperial court, and the person they are cooperating with should be a certain prince."
After the prince inherits the throne, he will become the emperor. Of course, he has the right and ability to let all the bandits in the village enter the court to serve as officials.
After all, the court is run by them.
Prince Ming added, "According to rumors in the palace a few years ago, the Third Prince's mother is the current emperor's favorite woman, and the Third Prince is also the emperor's most beloved son."
Then it all makes sense.
The emperor and the third prince joined forces, first sending the prince to treat the plague, and then sending Feng Chen here to investigate the case.
When these two sons died, the throne would naturally belong to the third prince.
"As for the families of ministers imprisoned in this dungeon, they are probably used to contain the ministers in the court. The prince's mother's family is powerful, which is why the old emperor has tolerated the prince for so many years."
Prince Ming curled his lips, his eyes slightly mocking.
Because they can't do anything, they can only resort to these insidious and shameful means.
After the truth was revealed, the most shocked person was Feng Chen, one of the parties involved.
Feng Chen's face was full of disbelief. The father whom he had respected since childhood actually wanted to kill him.
The purpose was to ensure that his other son could take the throne smoothly.
He and his third brother are both the emperor's sons, why is this happening?
Feng Chen couldn't understand.
But the old emperor's actions had obviously wiped out the little bit of father-son affection in his heart.
After Feng Chen adjusted himself, Prince Ming came over with a smile, "Feng boy, what a great opportunity!"
Feng Chen looked back at Prince Ming in confusion. Prince Ming was very disappointed with Feng Chen and reached out to pat him on the head.
"Feng boy, you are stupid! We knew the emperor's plan in advance. As long as you take people to rescue the ministers' families imprisoned here, those ministers will definitely be grateful to you!"
"By then, with the support of my Lu family, how could the throne still be the Third Prince's turn? The one who will sit on the throne will be you, little Feng!"
The Lu family of the Ming King controls two-thirds of the elite military forces of the Feng Kingdom. This is why the Ming King has been able to act so arrogantly.
If the prince's mother's family is a thorn in the emperor's side, then the Lu family can be said to be a thorn in his flesh.
The old emperor has always been eager for Prince Ming to die, and Prince Ming has been planning a rebellion for a long time, so he is so skilled when it comes to rebellion.
Feng Chen pondered for a while and nodded in agreement with Prince Ming's proposal.
Since his father has sacrificed him as his son for his third brother, he no longer needs to worry about family ties.
Feng Chen looked down at Mu Qingli in his arms, his eyes softened a lot, and at the same time, his thoughts became more determined.
