The main figures from the Li, Xiao and Bei families are all present.
When he saw Yang Jinzhong, Duke Li's face changed. Duke Li knew that Concubine Li had taken action, but he didn't expect that Yang Jinzhong was still alive.
"Li Shengrong, you are not a human being. The Yang family is also your maternal family. You actually wiped out the entire Yang family. What a sin! The thing I regret most in my life is recognizing you. You, the Li family, are ungrateful and ungrateful."
Yang Jinzhong looked at his nephew with bloodshot eyes and filled with hatred.
Even if the retired emperor killed his entire family, he would accept it.
After all, he killed so many of the retired emperor's children and even his concubines.
Yang Jinzhong was ready to be cut into pieces.
But he never expected that it was Concubine Li who was still alive.
Moreover, Concubine Li and Duke Li were in the same group. How could Duke Li not know that Concubine Li wanted to destroy the Yang family?
Yang Jinzhong regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
If it weren't for this nephew, he wouldn't have suffered these disasters.
Why is he so pessimistic?
The Emperor was so kind to him and trusted him so much, why would he want to harm the Emperor's offspring...
Haha, isn’t he an ungrateful person too?
The Li family is the death knell for the Yang family.
Duke Li said nothing until Yang Jinzhong's next words came: "It's retribution. If you hadn't wiped out the Yang family, you wouldn't have been caught by the Dark Dragon Guards and exposed by my medicine. Hahahaha, this is retribution.
Your Li family is full of ambition and still dreams of imperial power. You hid Concubine Li in the ancestral temple. That Prince Ping'an looks exactly like your Li family. How can you say he is the orphan of Emperor Taizong? "
boom!
Master Bei's expression changed drastically, and his gaze fell on the Li and Xiao family members kneeling in front of him.
I feel terrible.
Taizong's Concubine Li was still alive, and had a son who turned out to be the eldest son of the Xiao family.
"you"
Master Bei glared at Li fiercely, "You knew that too?"
Li shook her head blankly and innocently, "I don't know."
Li really didn't know, but as a member of the Li family, how could she not have heard of Concubine Li.
She looked at her father, brother, and eldest brother-in-law in shock.
"Father, sister, is what he said true?"
No one in the Li family paid any attention to Li. They were caught by the retired emperor without any preparation. They were in a bad mood and their minds were in a mess. They didn't know whether all the family members and subordinates were captured or whether anyone escaped.
Moreover, during their 35-year plan, they did not only target the retired emperor's harem.
But at this moment, he no longer cared about Li and Master Bei.
Master Bei and Madam Li looked unhappy.
Especially Master Bei, who married Li in the past. Besides the fact that Li was beautiful, another reason was the family background of the Li family.
But no one expected that the Li family had big problems. They secretly hid the remnants of Emperor Taizong, murdered the children and concubines of the retired emperor, and were also guilty of treason.
"What? Taizong's orphan?"
The Earl of Anping looked at Concubine Li with horror and disbelief, then turned to look at his eldest son.
Bang!
An Pingbo slapped An Pingbo's wife hard, "Bitch, you actually let Concubine Li's son pretend to be the bloodline of the Xiao family. You are dragging the Xiao family to hell. What do we Xiao family owe you? You are harming the Xiao family like this."
Pah pah pah…
Mrs. Anping was caught off guard and was slapped repeatedly by Anping's Earl, leaving her face covered in blood and suffering from tinnitus and deafness.
Bang!
An Pingbo was also pushed away by Xiao Sa, "Don't touch my mother."
Concubine Li's face darkened. Although she raised her son in the Xiao family under the name of her niece, and nominally her son called her niece mother, when she really saw her own son protecting her niece like this, Concubine Li was dissatisfied.
"Sa'er, she is your cousin."
“The eldest sister is the mother, and the mother is the mother.”
Xiao Sa knew his identity since he was a child, and he often went to the Li family and met Concubine Li.
But every time they met, Concubine Li was very strict, and even beat him, forcing him to study and practice martial arts to make progress.
All the servants around Xiao Sa were arranged by Concubine Li.
On the surface, he has to act like a playboy, but in private he is forced to study very hard and can only sleep for two hours a day at most.
But after he turned fourteen, she indulged him in his obsession with beauty, married him a wife and concubines, and constantly urged him to have children.
Once upon a time, Xiao Sa was proud. After all, the retired emperor had one child but one died, so he was not as blessed with many children as he was.
But now, a large group of his children and grandchildren were arrested, and Xiao Sa hated Concubine Li and Duke Li who controlled him even more in his heart.
Over the years, his biological mother had been constantly instilling hatred and the throne in him, and had never given him any love.
Instead, it was his eldest cousin, his nominal mother, who would make delicious food for him, stay with him when he was sick, and sing songs to comfort him.
So in Xiao Sa's heart, he cared more about Lady Anping, the adoptive mother of his eldest cousin.
In the past, for the throne and power, Xiao Sa would still respect his biological mother.
But now, they have all been caught by the emperor.
Then what is he worried about?
"I've been controlled by you my entire life. I've lived for over thirty years without any freedom at all. You've never thought of letting me take power. You've always treated me as a puppet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been caught."
If he were in power, with the Sky Eagle Guard in his hands, and the secretly trained assassins and private army all in his hands, how could he have endured for more than 30 years?
Concubine Li's face looked very ugly, and she glared at her eldest niece fiercely. In her opinion, the son was born by her and would only be close to her.
But now it seems that her son cares more about and is closer to his niece, and instead has a deep resentment towards her as his biological mother.
Lady Anping lowered her eyes. She had no son, so naturally she put a lot of effort into raising her cousin who was of royal blood.
Moreover, since she is raising it, she must make sure to raise it well.
My aunt is old, and when my cousin becomes emperor, she will be the invisible empress dowager.
Unfortunately, this beautiful dream was shattered today.
Xiao Sa's wife and concubine, the two sisters of the Li family, were also insiders. They both regarded Xiao Sa as the future emperor, otherwise they would not have been willing to serve Xiao Sa.
Now prisoners, the two sisters tremble in fear.
"Evil..." Earl Anping was furious and fell silent when he saw Xiao Sa with a vicious look on his face.
Sitting on the dragon throne, the retired emperor, Emperor Kangde, and Bei Lingyao watched the farce below without saying a word.
At this time, Yuan Meng quietly came in and whispered in the ear of the Emperor: "Your Majesty, all the Li, Xiao, and Bei families in the capital have been arrested."
"Investigate all those related to the Li, Xiao, and Bei families. Keep an eye on the movements in all places, and report any unusual activity immediately."
"I obey your command."
The emperor then looked at the three main figures who were tied up, while the others were already imprisoned in the dungeon.
"I was too lenient with you in the past."
The emperor's light words brought silence to the crowd.
The Earl of Anping was the first to speak. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and cried out, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me. I am innocent. I was kept in the dark by the Li family and knew nothing about this."
