"Sir, of course you have a relationship with the King of Pingxi," Kong Wenmin said as he took out a letter from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Zhong Mingwei, saying, "This is a handwritten letter from the King of Pingxi. Please take a look, sir."
Zhong Mingwei frowned as he took the letter and opened it, then his frown deepened. Meiya hurried over to read the letter with him, then she immediately covered her mouth: "Guardian Kong, what does this mean? What does it mean to...regard Mingwei as my son? What does it mean to regard Mingwei as the leader of the Imperial Guards? What on earth does the King of Pingxi mean by this?!"
"You are indeed ambitious, but why didn't you work together to bring down the traitor who killed the king and seized the throne? Instead, you let him ascend the throne and watched him create a major case in the past 20 years and destroy the power of the King of Pingxi?" Zhong Mingwei slammed the letter on the table with a "smack" and sneered, "Kong Wenmin, although I am just a penniless and poor prince now, I can't let you imperial guards use me for fun! If you dare to use the name of the King of Pingxi again and do something ungrateful to your master, I will report it directly to His Majesty!"
"Master! When the King of Pingxi learned that the late emperor had passed away, it was not that he did not want to return to the capital to avenge the late emperor, but...but the Empress Zhenxian has already married the current emperor!" Kong Wenmin said in a deep voice. He looked up at Zhong Mingwei with a look of loyalty on his face. "If the King of Pingxi wants to avenge the late emperor, the Empress Zhenxian will inevitably be implicated. At the very least, she will be imprisoned for life, and at the worst, she will be beheaded. How can the King of Pingxi do this? What's more, the Empress Zhenxian was already...pregnant at the time."
For a moment, Zhong Mingwei felt that his mind was blank, there was nothing, only the endless "buzzing" sound in his ears.
"Guard Kong, do you mean... Mingwei is the flesh and blood of King Pingxi?" Mei Ya asked while holding her breath. This was what she had always wanted to know, but when it really came to uncovering the truth, she didn't want to know anymore. However, she still asked in the end. Things had come to this point. Zhong Mingwei had the right to know the truth, but he also needed to make preparations for defense early on based on this. This must be the capital, a capital where people's hearts were unpredictable and the winds and frosts were harsh.
"Madam, I don't know about this. The King of Pingxi has never mentioned this. I just know that the King of Pingxi and the Queen of Zhenxian met when they were young and they were engaged. The King of Pingxi is deeply in love with the Queen of Zhenxian and has been lonely for half his life. According to my birthday, it is possible... possible," Kong Wenmin said with some difficulty. "The King of Pingxi asked the Imperial Guards to keep their distance from me before, for fear that the Imperial Guards would get too close to me and be noticed by my Lord. So the Imperial Guards and I have always kept to ourselves. In fact, the King of Pingxi and the Imperial Guards have had no dealings over the years. As long as I can successfully ascend the throne, the King of Pingxi is unwilling to disturb me. He would rather I don't know about these grievances. Even when the Imperial Guards suffered a great blow during the major case in the 20th year, the King of Pingxi and the Imperial Guards had no complaints. It was not until I was deposed and demoted to Ningguta that the King of Pingxi issued an order about me for the first time, asking the Imperial Guards to do their best to protect my safety in Ningguta."
"So this year, the Prince of Pingxi, who had not returned to the capital for 34 years, suddenly returned to the capital," Pang Yi said in a deep voice, "This time he returned to the capital, he brought down the Xu family. It was not easy for them to hold this grudge for 34 years."
"Yes, thirty-four years ago, the Xu family supported the man who killed the king and father to the throne for their own selfish interests, and forced him to marry the Queen Zhenxian. They were really shameless. Thirty-four years later, the Xu family collapsed like a building. This is retribution," Kong Wenmin said coldly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "The Prince of Pingxi returned to the capital this time not only to destroy the Xu family, but more importantly for me."
