Shen Yanchuan looked calm.
Xiao Chengqi reacted immediately, "Is it really him? You knew it a long time ago, right?!"
"I haven't seen him. Like Your Majesty, I'm just guessing." Chen Yanchuan smiled. "Ever since the rebellion began, their prince has been wearing a mask. No one knows his true identity."
Xiao Chengqi snorted.
"I don't know you yet? If I wasn't absolutely sure, I would never say this."
What Chen Yanchuan said was probably pretty close to the truth.
It took Xiao Chengqi a while to accept this shocking secret.
"It's incredible... He grew up in the palace, how did he become connected to the previous dynasty?"
After all, Xiao Chengqi and he had been brothers for more than ten years. Who could bear it if he suddenly told him that the emperor who almost stole his throne was actually an orphan of the previous dynasty?
"There are many secrets in the palace, and it is not impossible for the cat to replace the prince to happen." Shen Yanchuan said.
"I was puzzled at first. How did he escape from the secret passage of the Heavenly Prison? Now it all makes sense!"
The imperial palace and the prison were both built by the previous dynasty. If Xiao Chenglin was really the prince, it would be normal for him to know these secrets.
Xiao Chengqi thought it was ridiculous.
"He's really well hidden... If the late emperor had passed the throne to him, wouldn't the world rightfully belong to the Great Zhou again?"
Shen Yanchuan didn't think that was possible.
"The late emperor was wise and had his own standards."
At that time, Xiao Chenglin was just a weak and disabled prince, and the late emperor would never consider him.
Xiao Chengqi touched his chin and said, "What would happen if everyone in the world saw his face and knew his dual identity, past and present?"
Shen Yanchuan spoke slowly, "Suspicion."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Chen Yanchuan's gaze fell on the thick stack of testimonies.
Once people's hearts are shaken, it will be extremely difficult to restore them.
"Everyone knows who the Fourth Prince, Xiao Chenglin, is, but very few know the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou. He has lived as Xiao Chenglin for so many years. Could he really be someone else?"
"Is he Xiao Chenglin or the former crown prince? I'm afraid even he can't tell the difference."
…
Ye family.
Ye Chutang was sitting in the yard drinking tea, and Xiaowu was sitting next to her, holding a thick stack of letters in one hand and fiddling with an abacus with the other.
Ye Chutang looked at her with amusement, "It's just that the first batch of goods has arrived in Northern Xinjiang. Why are you so anxious to settle the bill?"
Xiaowu didn't even raise his head.
——Of course it counts!
The tea was sold out as soon as it was delivered, we have to restock it quickly!
Su Peier sent the account list, and Xiaowu immediately started to figure out which one sold the best and which one had the highest profit.
"Didn't Sister say that business must be done well, done well..." Xiao Wu tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Vertical classification! Right! Only by meticulously analyzing and calculating every single account can we maximize profits, right?"
Ye Chutang: “…”
She just said it casually, but the little girl remembered it clearly.
"Sister!"
Ye Jingyan walked in quickly, looking unusually excited.
"News from the southwest border!"
Ye Chutang's heart moved, and Xiao Wu threw away the abacus and looked at him eagerly.
"Third brother, what news, what news?"
Judging from his reaction, could it be... Fourth Brother?
Sure enough, Ye Jingyan came in front of the two of them, took a deep breath, but still found it difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Victory news from the southwest! Our army attacked the Nanhu border at night, and captured three cities in half a month! The Nanhu army was completely defeated and retreated repeatedly! I heard that the leader of the army-"
He held his breath and spoke every word.
"Strikingly, a flag with the word 'Ye' was planted above every city!" (End of this chapter)
