Chapter 655 Tear Up the Nest
The Prince of Luo listened attentively. He had always known that Xu Da had this idea, and so did he. Rebellion was inevitable, but he was not the one capable of it.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by asking me these questions?"
Xu Da was filled with enthusiasm. A true man should aspire to travel far and wide, to make a name for himself. He also wanted to fight on the battlefield, rather than stay in the capital and ride around all day.
"It means exactly what you think."
The time has come. The Prince of Luo smiled and looked at Xu Da, saying, "So, let's rebel."
He spoke the word "rebellion" very softly, so softly that Xu Da could hardly hear it if he hadn't been so close.
Let's rebel! Let's overthrow the incompetent emperor and let someone else take his place.
"Send troops to the northwest, first pacify the foreign tribes, and then pacify the northern lands. From then on, the world will be at peace, and a prosperous and peaceful era will not be far away."
The Prince of Luo said quietly, “The people of the capital are rich and powerful, but this is only a corner of the country. The people in other places are suffering too much, especially the women.”
"Your Highness, you have a compassionate heart, and I am willing to help you achieve your great cause!"
Xu Dateng stood up abruptly and knelt down on one knee.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally, he had the answer.
His mother kept urging him to get married and find a wife to settle down with, saying that nothing beats the thrill of fighting on all sides!
If you're a man, you should be full of passion. How can you serve your country if you have great skills but are confined to the capital?
“Xu Da, there are some things I need to make clear to you. Actually, you’ve misunderstood something.”
He was going to rebel, but he was not going to become the future monarch.
"Are there other members in the Xiao family?"
Xu Da was taken aback. Could the prince have an illegitimate child?
"What are you thinking? This is a long story."
King Luo racked his brains and decided to start from twenty years ago.
"You must know that the Qi family was executed along with nine generations of their clan twenty years ago."
Back then, Lady Qi was the most beautiful woman in the capital and was always coveted. Consort Fang was jealous and wanted to kill Lady Qi.
"This subordinate knows about it. The case that Yu Zicheng caused a while ago is similar to that of Consort Fang."
The idea that fetuses can cure diseases is a folk remedy and utter nonsense.
Consort Fang stared intently at Madam Qi, then cut open Madam Qi's abdomen, killing both her and her unborn child.
Subsequently, Lord Qi was falsely accused of treason, and the evidence against him was irrefutable. Every member of the Qi family was slaughtered.
For this reason, King Ping, the elder brother of King Luo, sought justice for Lord Qi and was imprisoned in the imperial prison, after which he suddenly disappeared.
The Prince of Luo first relayed the events to Xu Da, then said, "The Qi family was not wiped out. The unborn child in Madam Qi's womb did not die and was saved by someone."
Besides Qi Heng, the Qi family also includes Qi Lu, and the two brothers are still alive.
In addition, Luo Wang's own elder brother is also alive, living in seclusion and secretly protecting Qi Heng.
"The young master of the Qi family is still alive?"
Xu Da was stunned. He was still a little confused. Wait, he needed to process this first.
"Yes, and you've met this person before."
Before Xu Da could figure it out, the Prince of Luo dropped another bombshell.
Xu Da was completely bewildered. How could he have seen this before? Who was it?
"Lin Yuesha's stepbrother."
After the Prince of Luo finished speaking, Xu Da was speechless and stood there dumbfounded.
After a long pause, Xu Da finally reacted and said dryly, "Then your elder brother..."
"Lin Yuesha's stepfather."
The King of Luo smiled and explained.
Xu Da: ...
Xu Da clicked his tongue in amazement. He often went to visit the neighbor next door. This was like stirring up trouble in the heart of the Prince of Ping's territory!
The new emperor in the future will not be Prince Luo, but Prince Ping is also acceptable. In any case, it will not be him, Xu Da, and he has no interest in it. He only wants to fight and kill.
"Neither, but... Qi Heng."
The Prince of Luo felt that breathing so heavily was not good. Sure enough, Xu Da, after being repeatedly frightened, was already dumbfounded and in a daze.
Is the Xiao family's refusal to relinquish the throne of the Great Qi to the Qi family an act of atonement?
No.
The Prince of Luo seemed to be deliberately trying to frighten Xu Da, and then dropped another bombshell: "I am not of the Xiao family bloodline either."
Xu Da: ...
Why bring this up before dinner? He's lost all ability to think.
The Prince of Luo is not of the Xiao family bloodline. Could it be that the old princess cheated on the old prince?
"Neither my brother nor I are."
The Prince of Luo was determined to make things difficult for Xu Da, launching repeated attacks.
When he turned his head, he could no longer see Xu Da. Xu Da was hiding under the table, looking very withdrawn.
"It's not my mother's fault. My father has problems in that area; he can't have sex, so..."
He and his brother were adopted children from the common people by their mother. Their mother lived a life of widowhood, keeping this a secret until she sent their father away.
Therefore, the two brothers are not of the Xiao family bloodline, and of course they don't care who owns the country.
Prince Luo was a free spirit, and he had a habit of sleeping in late. Getting up before dawn to attend the morning court was absolutely unacceptable!
"I've met Yue Sha's stepbrother. He's a bookworm and looks rather dim-witted. Do you think he's suitable?"
Xu Da curled his lip, thinking that his cousin definitely wouldn't know about such a secret matter.
"You're stupid, but he's not!"
Luo Wang was both amused and exasperated. Apart from Lin Yuesha, who thought her stepbrother was an honest man, who among those who knew Qi Heng hadn't been tricked?
"You idiot, Lin Yuesha is Qi Heng's prey. Every time you get close to your cousin, don't you feel like things aren't going well lately?"
The Prince of Luo warned Xu Da; otherwise, Xu Da could have been killed.
"Things have been a bit bumpy."
For example, you might be patrolling on horseback when the horse suddenly runs away. Or you might be going to the outhouse and suddenly realize there's no toilet paper.
"Yes, that's in line with his usual style."
