This kind of pain of the soul is more terrible than that of the body. It is impossible to faint. The whole soul is suppressed without any relaxation. It is like being cooked in a raging fire, or being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. It is extremely painful.
"I...I'll tell you!" the ghost said, gritting his teeth.
Xiao Cunyu loosened his grip and said, "It would have been better if you had been so obedient earlier."
"You...your mother...is Princess Ziyang, the only legitimate daughter of the Li Kingdom!" The ghost was clearly dead, but it was in so much pain that it seemed to be gasping for breath. "After the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, she escaped by chance. Later...later she arrived in Yi City, met your father, and after hearing about your father's identity, she married him!"
"Oh." Xiao Cunyu said indifferently, "Isn't my mother already dead? What are you doing?"
"..." The ghost looked at Xiao Cunyu again and felt that this man was terrifying: "Yes, he is dead, but... our Li Kingdom royal family still has descendants. You, you are also of royal blood. How can you help the Prince of Feng Kingdom..."
"Your mother is dead, and you still dare to control me?" Xiao Cunyu rolled his eyes at him. "So the person behind you is a descendant of the fallen royal family?"
The other party nodded and said, "Yes... Back then, the emperor didn't appoint a crown prince, and all the other princes were killed. Only the unpopular Tenth Prince remained. We, the old ministers, escorted the Tenth Prince away and supported him as the crown prince. We will only allow the crown prince to ascend the throne after the country is restored in the future!"
After hearing this, Xiao Cunyu sneered and sneered.
The ghost panicked, somewhat puzzled. "You, your mother is, after all, the only legitimate princess... and the Tenth Prince has no children. In the future, he will adopt you as his biological son. Once the kingdom is restored, you will be the crown prince! As noble as Crown Prince Huaiji!"
Xiao Cunyu stood up and said, "So, my father's property and money were all taken away by that Tenth Prince?"
“…” The ghost looked at her in surprise.
It seems that he doesn't quite understand why Xiao Cunyu's focus is on this.
"Yes... The Tenth Prince needed a large amount of gold and silver to restore his country, but at that time our Li Kingdom had fallen into the hands of those two thieves, and the treasury was empty, so we were unable to act. The Xiao family... The Xiao family was rich, especially the Fifth Master Xiao, who was in poor health. In those years, Princess Ziyang was in charge of his property... It was natural for the Tenth Prince to become the next prince..." the fake prince-in-law continued.
In fact, he was already in the capital at that time, but he would occasionally receive letters from his "colleagues" which would describe the current progress of things and tell them not to worry too much.
Of course, only a "minister" of his level could know this.
"Does my father know the truth?" Xiao Cunyu asked again.
Xiao Cunyu felt that most likely he didn't know.
She was born with memories and knew what kind of person her foolish father was. He was really weak, a rich and idle young man. Apart from being good-looking, he could hardly carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands.
Of course, now that I think about it, it’s hard to say whether this disease... is a real disease or not.
"This... I don't know. This matter is not handled by me. No matter how detailed it is, I don't know it." The ghost said again.
Xiao Cunyu was quiet for a long time.
"Is your family's fallen prince still planting people around me?" Xiao Cunyu asked again.
The ghost was stunned for a moment: "Yes... but... but that person has already betrayed Your Highness. It's just that Your Highness feels that she is still loyal to you and even saved your life, so you are keeping her for now and will deal with her later."
If that’s the case, it’s no wonder Wen Mianmian was so stupid back then.
She entered the Xiao family openly. Anyone in the Xiao family could see that she had bad intentions, but she still refused to leave.
If he had not been so provoked by her later, he would never have broken into her room in the middle of the night to assassinate her. This assassination was her own idea, and the prince of the fallen country probably didn't even know about it.
