Bei Lingyao sneered, saying that the Earl of Anping was a playboy, but not really stupid.
How could Earl Anping not notice the Li family's excessive attention to Xiao Sa?
However, the Earl of Anping did not know that Xiao Sa was not his son, but the son of Emperor Taizong and Concubine Li.
Seeing that the Li family valued their son so much, trained him vigorously, and married off their two daughters, Earl Anping was extremely proud.
He even suspected that the Li family wanted to push his son to power.
Although their surname is Xiao, to be honest, their surname should be Feng.
A title with the imperial surname.
Actually, the great-great-great-grandfather of Anping Earl and the great-grandfather of Feng Taizu were half-brothers.
The great-grandfather of Feng Taizu was born to the original wife and was adopted by his deceased uncle.
Anping Bo's great-great-great-grandfather was born to a second wife. Because his biological father died unexpectedly, his mother remarried into the Xiao family and changed his surname.
After he came of age, he married the daughter of the Xiao family's direct branch, and his child also had the surname Xiao.
As a result, the line of succession to Feng Taizu’s great-grandfather’s biological father was cut off.
So she gave birth to two sons, one of whom was adopted back to his biological father's line to carry on the family line.
It's quite complicated.
When Taizu ascended the throne, all the generations above him were posthumously honored with titles.
However, Anping Earl's great-great-grandfather and his remarried biological mother both had the surname Xiao, so naturally he was not posthumously honored.
The Xiao family of Anping Earl followed Taizu to conquer the world later.
After Taizu ascended the throne, they also wanted to change back to the royal family's surname.
But because of the war, they were the only ones left in the direct line of the Xiao family, and they were also the clan leaders.
If the surname is changed back to Feng, the Xiao family's direct lineage will be truly cut off.
Moreover, it was not changed earlier or later, but only after Taizu ascended the throne. Not to mention what Taizu thought about it, even people all over the world would despise him.
After all, the ancestor of this branch of Anping Earl was a son-in-law who married into the wife's family.
Having the surname Xiao for so many generations and having inherited the Xiao family business, one still has to have some dignity.
In addition, the Xiao family had once tried to test Feng Taizu, but Feng Taizu did not agree, so they gave up the idea.
But the Xiao family was very unwilling to accept this, as they felt that they were the royal family.
This unwillingness turned into relief when the retired emperor slaughtered Taizong's lineage.
The retired emperor had few offspring and his lineage was almost extinct. Knowing the ambitions of the Li family, the Earl of Anping felt that the Li family wanted to use his son to seize the throne.
He didn't get involved, but he was looking forward to it in his heart.
I regret it so much now.
Their Xiao family is going to be killed by the Li family.
"You have murdered more than a dozen of my children and many of my concubines. Even if you exterminate your entire family, it will not be enough to relieve the hatred in my heart."
The emperor wanted to eat them alive.
"Come, take them all to the dungeon and thoroughly interrogate their accomplices."
The emperor didn't want to listen to their excuses anymore.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with me."
Master Bei was anxious. He just married the girl from the Li family, but he did not participate in the conspiracy between the Li and Xiao families.
He cannot afford the charge of murdering the royal heir and his concubines.
"Take him away. I will investigate whether he is innocent or not."
The retired emperor was very disappointed with Master Bei, and now he was glad that the emperor and the queen did not intervene.
At this time, Bei Lingyao and Emperor Kant were hiding behind the screen and did not show up.
"Emperor, this is unfair."
"Please, His Majesty, show me mercy."
"Your Majesty, spare my life."
The three families were all anxious. What good would happen if they were taken to the dungeon for interrogation?
"Yuan Meng sent Taifu Bei back to his residence for closed-door interrogation, and the others were gagged and taken away."
The emperor waved his hand, and soon the three families were taken away.
Master Bei heaved a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Li and several children became anxious and shouted "Master", but their mouths were blocked and they were taken away grumbling.
Soon, the entire hall was empty.
The retired emperor's eyes went dark and he collapsed on the dragon throne.
"Father Emperor"
Emperor Kangde was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward. Bei Lingyao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look."
Bei Lingyao quickly used her spiritual sense to guide the emperor, and quickly inserted acupuncture in her hands.
"Father is anxious and angry, he will wake up soon."
Emperor Kangde looked at his father and felt very sad.
"I will never let the Li and Xiao families go."
At this point, he looked at Bei Lingyao, "Grandmaster Bei probably doesn't know about this, but the bloodline of the Li family cannot be kept."
Logically speaking, the crime does not apply to married women.
But this time, the Li and Xiao families really offended the retired emperor and Emperor Kangde.
Especially the retired emperor, who had lost his sons and wife repeatedly over the past 30 years, which had severely hit his heart.
The emperor has held on until now with his spirit of refusing to admit defeat and accept his fate.
Now that we know the culprit, how can we let him go so easily?
At this time, because the Li and Xiao families were imprisoned, almost everyone related to these two families was arrested.
The entire capital was in a state of panic, fearing that this was the retired emperor's last act of madness.
The Bei family was also surrounded and investigated by the imperial guards.
"Hongbo, what on earth is going on?"
Mrs. Bei was also frightened.
"Mother, the Li and Xiao families are plotting a rebellion and secretly harboring the remnants of Concubine Li and Emperor Taizong..."
Master Bei had a worried look on his face, full of regret.
"What"
Mrs. Bei was shocked, "Treason?"
Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Master Bei caught Old Madam Bei and asked someone to help her down.
"Master, what should we do?"
The other concubines in the Bei family were also panicked.
That is a crime of treason. The Li and Xiao families have secretly hidden Concubine Li and Emperor Taizong's son for so many years.
Thinking of the ruthlessness of the retired emperor in exterminating Taizong's lineage, they shuddered.
"Go back to your own yards."
