"Your Majesty, I invited Xiao Jian here to ask you to investigate the case of Xiao Zhihang, the great swordsman of Jiangnan, 18 years ago. Xiao Yanzi, Xiao Jian is your own brother."
I still need to come out and explain the reason.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.
"What? Niannian, aren't I an orphan? How could I have a brother?"
This time, it was Little Swallow who broke the silence.
"Little Swallow, do you have a red bird-shaped birthmark on your back?"
He continued to ask, lost in thought.
"right."
"Then that's it."
But Xiao Yanzi nodded, and Xiao Jian spoke excitedly.
"Ahhh, I have a brother, I'm not an orphan, I have a brother, Niannian, Niannian, I have a brother! I'm not an orphan anymore."
Xiao Yanzi excitedly hugged Xiao Jian in front of her, but quickly withdrew and turned to hug Chen Nian instead.
Niannian is the most important person to her, and she is extremely excited.
Xiao Jian, who had never truly experienced being hugged by his younger sister: ...
"Yes, yes, you have an older brother. You are not an orphan. Xiao Jian is your older brother."
Holding Xiao Yanzi tightly, Chen Nian could feel Xiao Yanzi's joy from the inside out, and smiled in response.
"Xiao Zhihang? Xiao Jian, Little Swallow?"
The Emperor silently repeated the names Xiao Zhihang and Xiao Jian.
"Are you Xiao Zhihang's son?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty eighteen years ago..." and so on.
"This is the evidence."
Xiao Jian finally presented the evidence he had collected over the years. For the past 18 years, he had been waiting for this moment. The deep-seated hatred of more than a decade had weighed him down too much. If he hadn't been so focused on this, he might have been blinded by this hatred long ago.
The Emperor raised his hand and accepted the evidence handed to him by Xiao Jian. No one in the room spoke; they waited quietly for the Emperor to read it.
"You bastard—"
"Xiao Jian, I hereby issue you an imperial decree: You are to immediately proceed to Gansu to personally avenge your family. Ma Yu is at your disposal."
After reading Xiao Jian's report, the emperor was filled with rage.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
...
Everything finally settled down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Xiao Yanzi's identity has been revealed, the wrongful conviction has been resolved, the hidden dangers have been eliminated, and Chen Nian's health has temporarily recovered...
Everything has truly settled down.
