Xiao Lingdang didn't answer in a hurry, but just stared at Su Daocheng with a worried look on his face. She suddenly realized that this man who held the power of life and death and looked so high and mighty was actually no different from an ordinary person.
He would also feel irritated because of worrying about his family, and would sometimes lose control of his emotions, but he would also work hard for the people and things he wanted to protect.
So, he is the emperor, but he is also one of the ordinary people.
He was simply placed in a high position above everyone else, enjoying supreme power while also enduring pain that ordinary people could not imagine.
Little Bell couldn't help but chuckle, "Father, you're getting stuck in a rut."
Su Daocheng's expression froze, "What?"
Xiao Lingling poured him a cup of tea and said, "Father, it's not like we don't know everything. Since he is Qin Shuxiang's cousin, if we follow the Qin family's clues, we will definitely find some clues about him.
Everyone has weaknesses. As long as he is alive, he will always leave some traces in this world.
So, although it is difficult, it is not impossible.
In addition, it is true that Su Jingyao is now a prince, but his identity only comes from what your father says.
If you say he is, then he is; if you say he is not, then he is not.
Therefore, his bargaining chips were never secure.
I know you just don't want the royal family to be disgraced, but there are always scapegoats, right? He's not a prince anyway, so why does it matter who fathered him?
It just so happens that Qin Shuxiang is still in our hands. Don’t you want to deal with Qin Zheng?
Now you have a ready-made crime in your hands. If you can just cripple the opponent's pawn, he will naturally be thrown into disarray."
The more Su Daocheng listened, the brighter his eyes became. When Xiao Lingling finished speaking, he suddenly realized something.
"Yeah! How could I have forgotten this method! Since I can't catch him, I'm going to cut off his source of trouble!
I know very well that he just wants to use Su Jingyao's name to legitimately seize the throne, or even... force the emperor to abdicate.
But if Su Jingyao lost this identity, they would be nothing more than traitors who could be killed by everyone.
At the very least, he has lost a lot in terms of momentum, and he might be exposed because of his anxiety and anger.
Hey, such a good idea, why didn’t I think of it before? Could it be that I am really old?
Xiao Lingdang looked at him speechlessly. Su Daocheng was only forty-three years old now. Because he ate well and took good care of himself in the palace, people would believe that he was in his thirties.
How did it get involved with the old man?
But before Xiao Lingling could try to persuade him, he became excited again.
If he hadn't been concerned that Xiao Lingling was a girl, he would definitely have picked her up and kissed her.
"As expected of my princess, this little head is really smart. It's a pity that I spent the whole afternoon worrying about this matter."
Little Bell was speechless when she saw his excitement. He was obviously very wise and brave in the past.
"So, Father has resolved the confusion now?"
"Of course! I'll go back and arrange it now."
Seeing him stand up to leave, Xiao Lingdang grabbed his sleeve and said, "Wait, Father, don't take the situation in the capital lightly.
But don't make a big fuss about it, be careful not to alert the enemy. You can have someone quietly infiltrate and investigate, and it would be best to screen out those who seem out of place.
They are hiding very deeply, and we don't know how many people there are. But even if there are not many people, we must pay attention to it. After all, this is the capital, and the slightest mistake will directly affect the outcome.
Speaking of this, Su Daocheng felt more confident. "Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to go. I won't alert the enemy. I've dealt with this kind of thing before.
So, you know what to do. Don't go out for the next few days. The streets will be chaotic for about two days, but it will calm down soon.
By the way, I might also want to borrow Qin Shuxiang from you."
Xiao Lingling knew what he meant and clapped her hands to have someone carry her up.
Qin Shuxiang became much quieter. In the afternoon, Xiao Lingling erased her memory from the space and brought her out.
But in order to make her obedient enough, Xiao Lingling tormented her a lot throughout the afternoon. Fortunately, she finally learned to be obedient.
Su Daocheng just glanced at her, then had someone take him back to the palace.
Xiao Lingling naturally didn't say much, but just watched him leave excitedly, and felt a little more at ease.
Next, she just had to wait for news.
Sure enough, the entire capital was in riot the next day.
Little Bell doesn't even need to go out, as all she hears are the exciting and noisy sounds.
"Oh my God, how dare Consort Xiang do this? How dare she just pick up a child and pretend he's the prince?"
"That's right, this guy is really brave. I have never heard of such a thing in my entire life. It seems that the Qin family is going to be in big trouble."
"It's really scary. No wonder I heard that the emperor is always angry recently. If it were me, I would definitely be angry too."
"But I think the child who was brought here is a bit innocent. After all, he was still young at the time and didn't understand these things."
"Then he can only blame Concubine Xiang. If she hadn't been so greedy for power and if she hadn't done this, he might not have the grandeur of a prince, but at least he could have lived a peaceful life."
"That's right. If you ask me, this Concubine Xiang really deserves to be tortured to death. She's so cruel."
All kinds of discussions filled Xiao Lingling's ears. She just felt a little regretful that she couldn't see the lively scene with her own eyes, but she could also imagine it.
The excitement lasted from morning to night, and everyone was still in high spirits.
