Xiao Qingyin had previously thought the old man looked somewhat familiar, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that he bore a striking resemblance to Yelü Ang, with identical facial features.
"Could he be Yelü Ang's father?"
Yi Shuihan sat down at the table and tapped the surface with his fingers, saying, "Yelü Ang's father was named Yelü Shan, who was Yelü Zheng's brother from the same mother. Because of his extraordinary talent and bravery in battle, his father had high hopes for him and planned to make him the crown prince when he came of age. However, he suddenly disappeared a month before his coming of age and was never seen again. The throne then fell into Yelü Zheng's hands."
Xiao Qingyin was speechless for a moment.
Yelü Zheng and Situ Chang were actually brothers.
The two were cut from the same cloth; not only did they seize their brother's throne, but they also imprisoned and abused him.
It's said that women are prone to jealousy, but men can be just as jealous.
Judging from Yelü Ang's loyal appearance, he seemed to have never doubted his uncle.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyin chuckled: "Now we don't need to stir things up, Yelü Ang will fight Yelü Sui to the death."
Yi Shuihan smiled knowingly: "Wouldn't you say that good deeds are rewarded?"
Xiao Qingyin laughed loudly: "Of course it counts!"
After sending Xiao Qingyin back to the palace, Yi Shuihan began to make arrangements.
When they broke into the prison, they drugged all the prisoners. The old man has been in a coma ever since he was rescued and has no idea who did it.
He moved the old man to an abandoned house.
Then he orchestrated a chance encounter, guiding the cavalrymen who met there to the house. After finding the old man, he told them not to make a fuss.
Then secretly summon Yelü Ang.
"General, when my patrol and I passed by here, we noticed something was off about this house, so we came in to take a look. We were surprised to find an old man lying in the yard who looked just like you, so we called you over."
Yelü Ang was just born when Yelü Shan disappeared, so he naturally had no memory of him.
This is why he admired Yelü Sui since he was a child.
Yelü Sui had a father.
He didn't.
When he discovered that his uncle would also praise him and give him gifts, he began to think about competing with Yelü Sui.
As long as he performs better than Yelü Sui, he will gain his uncle's favor.
Therefore, he put all his effort into competing with Yelü Sui.
It wasn't until Yelü Sui was appointed crown prince and led troops into battle time and time again, winning great victories, that he slowly realized he was nothing more than a whetstone.
Jane clearly knew this from the very beginning.
She had enjoyed his care and attention since childhood, accepting all the rare treasures he gave her, but when it came to choosing a spouse, she chose Yelü Sui without hesitation.
Even though Yelü Sui suffered a defeat and Xilin had to cede territory as compensation in order to redeem him, it did not affect people's attitude towards him at all.
All of this was simply because Yelü Sui was the crown prince, while he was merely a heir apparent.
He had thought countless times how wonderful it would have been if his father hadn't disappeared and had successfully become the crown prince and inherited the throne.
That way, he and Yelü Sui could switch places.
He will be the one who is high above, possesses everything, and is the envy, jealousy, and hatred of others.
Yelü Suicai was the one who groveled and looked up to him.
But he never expected that his father would be found.
After examining the old man's right foot, he lifted the man's hair and found the wedge-shaped scar. The moment he found it, he was certain that this was his father.
According to his mother, this scar was caused when he was just learning to crawl, and his father took him to the armory to play, where he accidentally knocked over an axe.
When the axe came crashing down on him, his father rushed to protect him and was slashed in the head, which is why he was left with this injury.
My father didn't take this injury seriously, and didn't even call the imperial physician. He stopped the bleeding himself with medicine.
It wasn't publicized; only his mother and his close attendants knew about it.
He had just let his hair down when the old man woke up.
Before he could even call out "Dad," the old man pounced on him and forcefully grabbed his neck.
"Ho! Ho!"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared with a ferocious expression.
Yelü Ang almost couldn't breathe.
He grabbed the old man's arms, trying to pull his hands away, but the old man seemed to have used all his strength, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull them off.
In the end, it was Yi Shuihan who delivered a chop to the back of the old man's neck, knocking him unconscious before rescuing him.
Yelü Ang gasped for breath, and even the slowest person realized what was happening.
The old man has gone mad.
He didn't recognize who he was; his eyes were filled with hatred.
Anyone who tries to get close to him will be attacked.
Yi Shuihan said softly from the side, "He seems to have been subjected to a lot of torture. The Imperial Guards have been searching for Fu Junshi these past few days. I've heard that in addition to Fu Junshi, another prisoner has also been taken away."
Yelü Ang suddenly understood.
My father has been imprisoned in the dungeon for all these years!
Who has the ability to do this?
There is only one answer.
“Ah,” a dark cloud rolled in his eyes, “my good uncle.”
They seized his father's throne, imprisoned and tortured his father, and even forced him to serve as a whetstone for Yelü Sui. The father and son were thoroughly exploited.
He placed his hand on his sword, looked towards the palace, and couldn't help but lift his foot.
Yi Shuihan called out to him, "General, shall we move to another place? It's not safe here; the Imperial Guards might find us soon."
Yelü Ang came to his senses: "You're right, we should go somewhere else first."
He summoned a carriage, carried the old man into it, and took him back to his residence.
Then he said to Yi Shuihan in a deep voice, "If word gets out about my father's affairs, not only you, but even I won't be able to save my life. You all need to keep your mouths shut."
