The devilish man's almost crazy laughter sounded again:
"We are brothers born from the same mother! But for this ancestral heritage, they want to drown me!
If my mother hadn't built this underground palace and hid me here, I would have disappeared from this world long ago!
Why? I'm asking you why?
Why do you get to sit in that position and be the master of the world, while I have to hide in this gutter and be a shameful rat?
I never thought much of that chair!
But the Great Chu Dynasty is so big. It is the kingdom passed down by my father and mother. It is the world of my brother!
Is it possible that in such a huge Chu Dynasty, there is no place for me?
I don't want a royal title or a salary. Is it not okay if I just become a farmer?
But they always just want me to die!
Brother, tell me, why should I care about their ancestral heritage? "
The chained man closed his eyes in pain, tears streaming down his cheeks:
"Since you are thinking of the Queen Mother's kindness, don't you know that what the Queen Mother cares about most is this ancestral foundation?
Even if you don't care about your ancestors' legacy, why do you have to be so ruthless?
Old Wei is so old, and he is a rootless and incomplete person. How can you not even tolerate him?
Although I cannot let you walk in the sunlight, have I ever stopped providing for you over the years? If I had not been kind and could not bear to let you stay in the underground palace without seeing the sun, and had let you out, there would never have been this disaster today!"
I see.
Xia Daohua nodded secretly, this made sense.
She had always thought that the emperor had probably taken too many elixirs, which caused mercury poisoning and affected his brain, leading to his suicide in various ways. Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be that this "one of the betrayed twins" was taking crazy revenge to vent his anger.
He replaced his brother, the emperor, not to become emperor, nor to gain power, but just to destroy the Great Chu Dynasty so as to avenge those who had wronged him...
The man with the devilish laughter is the current "stupid" emperor who is fighting against all the civil and military officials, destroying the forces under Eunuch Wei, and driving Li Gan's Jinyi Yunqi out of the capital.
And that skinny man with chains and shackles on his hands and feet, and whose clothes were wrinkled like old pickles, was he the original emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty and Li Gan's uncle or uncle-in-law?
I don't know how this unlucky guy was impersonated... But according to what I heard, his twin brother didn't actually favor concubines among the existing harem members to cuckold him, but just held a talent show with great fanfare...
After figuring out the general cause and effect, Xia Daohua instantly lost interest in continuing to eavesdrop.
She quickly put the three of them into the storage area of the space supermarket.
The chain of the chained man made a startling loud noise and broke abruptly. The cut was extremely smooth, as if it had been hit by some magical weapon.
Such a loud noise certainly alarmed the guards of the underground palace and the fake emperor's entourage. However, when they arrived at the scene, they only found broken chains.
The person who had stayed in the underground palace before disappeared. The guards and followers looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a big problem...
Xia Daohua gave the three people a rough check and felt relieved to see that they were all still alive.
While the guards were searching everywhere like headless flies, Xia Daohua had already secretly left the underground palace, stepped on the roofs of the wealthy families in the capital, and ran to Gu Mingzhen's mansion.
It would be better to leave the affairs of the old Gu family to Gu Mingzhen.
