Chapter 232: Revenge is achieved, and the true identity is revealed
"Ms. Cheng, you assisted Ling Buyi in murdering his father. Your Majesty is merciful in not pursuing the matter. How dare you come here?" The Left Censor took the lead in attacking again.
"Patricide? What will you do if I tell you that Marquis Chengyang is not Zisheng's biological father?" Shao Shang had already thought of a countermeasure early on. He glanced at He Zhaojun who was kneeling beside him with full of momentum.
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. When she mentioned the birthmark on Ling Buyi's waist, Emperor Wen stood up excitedly and said, "Quick, Ziduan, go find Zisheng's whereabouts and make sure to rescue him!"
Everyone watched Ling Buyi fall off the cliff, but they didn't see him alive or dead, which was really strange.
Shao Shang was also extremely anxious, wondering what Ling Buyi was thinking at this moment. He Zhaojun met her gaze and nodded slightly. The evil soldiers under the Marquis of Chengyang had been completely slaughtered, but there were still some remnants in the capital.
These people either hid their identities and changed their identities to live in the capital, or hid in the villages on the outskirts of the capital, gathering their strength for the day ahead. He Zhaojun's other merchants secretly visited and investigated, and they had already found them all.
Ling Buyi and Shao Shang pretended to be cornered, but in reality, Ling Buyi had already left the cliff that night, aided by General Liang Qiu, and single-handedly killed the remaining bandits. Therefore, no matter how hard General Zuo searched, he would never find Ling Buyi's body.
——
"Zisheng was already seriously injured when he fought Ling Yi. After risking his life to go to the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion and running all over the capital that night, he was already at the end of his rope."
Wen Ziduan had already rescued the man from the cliff, but General Ling was still unconscious and seriously injured. Shao Shang did not fall ill due to excessive worry this time, but took care of him personally and stayed awake all the time.
General Zuo, who wanted to kill Ling Buyi, has been imprisoned in the Supreme Court and is being tortured to pry open his mouth regardless of whether he lives or dies; Mrs. Chunyu, the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang, is also imprisoned, but she is already in a state of madness.
He Zhaojun dragged Shao Shang towards the Imperial Court. "Ling Yi and Chunyu have been married for many years, yet they have no children. This shows that Ling Yi isn't truly devoted to her. She must have some leverage over him, otherwise Ling Yi wouldn't be so cautious."
"Okay, Yuan Shen and I will go ask Chunyu. She's been able to live with Ling Yi for so many years, and now she's feigning madness to save her life. I think she'll keep the evidence safe."
He Zhaojun nodded and looked at Wen Ziduan. "Ziduan and I will go interrogate General Zuo and try to pry him open. His intention to kill General Ling is very firm, and it doesn't seem like a simple personal vendetta. If he's not from another tribe, then he's been recruited by the rebels."
The four men split into two groups, one group ran for Ling Buyi, hoping to find a way to save their lives before he regained consciousness.
On the second day, the air in the Qinzheng Hall was filled with medicinal fumes, and many waiters and medical officers were on standby. Ling Buyi was lying on the couch, dressed in white, thin and pale. His injuries had not healed yet, and he was even unable to get up.
When Emperor Wen saw his appearance, he was very much like his sworn brother Huo Chong. He felt sad. The answer was already obvious. Who was this man in front of him who had been living with the enemy for more than ten years, pretending to be Ling Buyi and taking him as his father in order to get revenge?
Emperor Wen waved his hand, stopping the ministers from questioning Ling Buzhi. He didn't want to think about anything else right now, he just wanted to hear the truth from him: "Zisheng, tell me the truth, who are you really?"
"My true identity is the son of General Huo Chong."
"My name is Huo Wushang."
