The devilish man's almost crazy laughter sounded again:
"We are brothers born from the same mother! And yet, just for this ancestral heritage, they want to drown me!
If my mother hadn't built this underground palace and hidden 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, the emperor, and my mother. It is the world of my brother!
Is it possible that in such a vast Chu Dynasty, there is no place for me to stay?
I don't want a royal title or a salary. Is it not okay if you just let me be a farmer?
But they always just wanted 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 legacy?
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 can't let you walk in the sun, have I ever stopped providing for you over the years? If I hadn't been kind enough to let you out of the underground palace without seeing the light of day, you wouldn't be in this disaster today!
I see.
Xia Daohua nodded secretly, this made sense.
She had always believed that the emperor had probably consumed too many elixirs, causing mercury poisoning that affected his brain, leading to his various acts of self-destruction. Unexpectedly, the truth turned out to be that this "betrayed twin" was frantically seeking revenge to vent his inner resentment.
He replaced his brother, the emperor, not to become emperor, nor to seize power, but simply to destroy the Great Chu Dynasty and take revenge on those who had wronged him...
The man with the devilish laughter is the "foolish" emperor who is now confronting 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 unfortunate guy was impersonated... But according to what I heard, his twin brother didn't actually favor concubines among the existing harem members to cheat on him, he just held a grand selection...
After figuring out the general cause and effect, Xia Daohua instantly lost interest in continuing to eavesdrop.
She quickly and efficiently put the three of them into the storage area of the space supermarket.
The chain man's chain made a startling loud noise and broke abruptly. The cut was extremely smooth, as if it had been struck by some magical weapon.
Such a loud noise certainly alarmed the guards of the underground palace and the followers of the fake emperor. However, when they arrived at the scene, they only found broken chains.
The person who had stayed in the underground palace before had disappeared. The guards and attendants looked at each other in bewilderment. This was a big problem...
Xia Daohua gave the three of them a rough check and felt relieved to see that they were 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 rushed to Gu Mingzhen's mansion.
It’s better to let Gu Mingzhen take care of the affairs of the old Gu family.
