Di Qingyu didn't even realize what was happening until he saw Rong Qi throw something away, then he realized it was his finger. Di Qingyu's face turned pale as he covered the severed finger.
After Rong Qi pulled off Di Qingyu's finger, Feng Qinghuang quickly handed him her handkerchief.
"Aqi, just throw it away after you're done wiping it, it's too dirty."
Rong Qi nodded gently: "Okay, I'll do whatever Jiao Jiao says."
Di Qingtian finally realized what was happening and, seeing his son's finger thrown away, flew into a rage and overturned the table.
"Men, surround this entire area. Not even a fly can get out."
A large number of royal guards surrounded the entire imperial garden, making it completely impenetrable. Ye Pianpian crossed her arms and looked at Di Qingtian.
"Brother, this was all planned long ago, wasn't it?"
Otherwise, how could they have arrived so quickly?
Di Qingtian snorted: "Royal sister, you and Consort Zong can go out first."
Ye Pianpian shook her head: "No need, Your Majesty, you know me well. I love watching the excitement."
Di Qingtian understood her personality; she was always stirring up trouble. Since she couldn't do anything here anyway, he let her be.
Emperor Xiao shielded Ye Xiaoxiao behind him: "Brother, are we going to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"
Di Qingtian shook his head: "It is clearly my sixth brother's family who wanted to unite with the princes of other countries to harm our Holy Feather Kingdom. I was just taking precautions in advance. I didn't expect you to be exposed so quickly."
Emperor Xiao looked at him with disappointment: "Brother, if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason."
Di Qingtian laughed heartily: "You are all here now, surrounded by my royal guards, so whatever I say goes."
Rong Qi pushed aside those protecting him and walked up to Di Qingtian.
"Your Majesty, I suppose you treated the former Crown Prince's family in the same way many years ago."
Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian suddenly widened his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense. The former crown prince was a traitor, and his whole family deserves to die."
Rong Qi looked at him sarcastically: "Now that so many years have passed, you are still so unrepentant. Today I will expose this matter to the world and let everyone see what kind of person their emperor is."
Rong Qi had many copies made of the statements and signatures of those people from the past few days, which finally came in handy today.
Rong Qi used his spiritual power to hold these documents and distributed them to everyone present, leaving a copy for Di Qingtian as well.
“Take a good look at these people’s testimonies and see if they match up with what happened back then. Are there any omissions?”
With trembling hands, Di Qingtian read the documents over and over again before tearing them up.
"Impossible! How could you know so much? And who are you to dare slander me? I'll make you my first target. Guards, kill him!"
Emperor Xiao and the group of people who came to the banquet all stood in front of Rong Qi, protecting him.
However, Rong Qi didn't need it, but he still felt their sincerity at that moment.
"You want to know who I am? Okay, then take a good look."
This time, Rong Qi didn't let Feng Qinghuang do anything. He just randomly touched his face a few times, and Rong Qi regained his original appearance.
When Di Qingtian saw Rong Qi's appearance, he was startled, thinking that Di Junlin had returned. Because Rong Qi's face was, if not exactly the same as, that of the young and handsome Di Junlin, at least about 80% similar.
"Is this His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Ah, His Highness the Crown Prince is not dead. Has His Highness returned?"
"That's wonderful, His Highness the Crown Prince is back."
Hearing the discussions in the Imperial Garden, Di Qingtian shook his head in disbelief.
"No, how could that be? I saw the bodies of that family of three being buried with my own eyes. Di Junlin couldn't possibly be alive. No, it can't be true."
Rong Qi touched his face, never expecting that his face would be so useful.
"Of course Emperor Junlin can't come back, and I am their only son, Emperor Fengmian. Is Your Majesty familiar with me?"
Di Qingtian looked at him: "No, how could you?"
Rong Qi kindly explained to him, "When Mother realized there was danger, she wrote to Uncle, but the guards Uncle sent couldn't save Father and Mother in time. I was still alive when they protected me in my swaddling clothes. The guards then placed the child of a deceased servant in their arms, which is how I was able to escape. Is Your Majesty surprised?"
Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian burst into laughter. What could they do to him now that the deed was done?
"Perfect timing. Now that everyone who knows the truth is here, let this secret disappear with you all today."
Upon hearing his father's words, Di Qingyu was terrified and quickly crawled over, saying, "Father, I am your own son! I don't know anything! Please let me go!"
Di Qingtian squatted down and patted his head: "My child, it's really unfortunate that you've overheard so many secrets today. But your father is usually very good to you, right? Can't you sacrifice for your father?"
Di Qingyu shook his head: "No, I don't want to sacrifice for you. Why should I? I'm still so young."
Upon hearing this, Di Qingtian closed his eyes in disappointment, then forcefully struck Di Qingyu's crown. Di Qingyu struggled for a few moments before ceasing to breathe.
