Chapter 97 has more to it than meets the eye.



The first half is still uncertain; only the second half, which Xixi has video footage of, can they confirm only how Yin Yujie died. Even the content of their conversations as mother and daughter cannot be entirely confirmed, because Yin Yujie concealed many things from Mu Yang.

The second version is what Yin Yuyao said.

According to her, Yin Yujie is a complex person, both righteous and wicked, who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Those palace intrigues were all things she did to seek revenge, and the only person she ever killed was her own son.

These matters also require further investigation, as they have no way of knowing what kind of person Yin Yujie is. Yin Yuyao is in the Cold Palace, so what Yin Yujie says may not be true. What is certain is that Yin Yujie is definitely not a kind or soft-hearted person; the ruthlessness with which she killed her own child is something Chen Xiao will never forget.

The third version is a guessing version formed by combining the first two versions, the additions from Xi Xi and Yin Yu Yao, and her own bold ideas.

In this version, the Rong Dynasty is turbulent and unpredictable, with complex characters, numerous past events, and many hidden secrets.

Perhaps, among those involved, only Yin Yujie, who was directly involved, knows the most.

Even Ni Chengli and Ning Ci's perspectives are limited, but Yin Yujie's perspective is the most expansive, and she is involved in every single event.

However, the Rong Dynasty has been gone for nearly fifty years.

Of these people, only Yin Yuyao and Qianyun are special cases who have survived to this day.

Yin Yuyao only has her own subjective perspective, and her knowledge is incomplete. Qianyun, on the other hand, knows more, but she has been taken away by the main god and her whereabouts are unknown.

Apart from these individuals, barring any special circumstances, is it possible that any of those who knew about this would still be alive today, based on their natural lifespan?

Xi Xi is also thinking about this question.

According to official records, Ni Chengli died of illness. Some of his consorts were buried with him, some went to worship Buddha, and some were killed. Before the Rong Dynasty was overthrown, only Empress Yin Yujie and Consort Xin, the birth mother of Prince Yu, remained.

Unlike Yin Yujie, who appears frequently, this beauty Xin is rarely mentioned.

As for Consort Xin, they knew very little. They only knew that Consort Xin was brought back from the countryside by Ni Chengli. She was originally favored by him, but after giving birth to the Tenth Prince, who was an idiot, she lost his favor.

After the tenth prince was enfeoffed as the Prince of Yu, Consort Xin accompanied him to his fiefdom and never returned to the capital.

They knew nothing else, and perhaps Yin Yuyao was unaware of Xin Meiren's existence.

As for the princesses, Ni Chengli had nineteen daughters who were all sent to other countries for marriage alliances. Only the eldest princess, Mu Yang, and the second princess, Mu Ling, returned to their homeland. The fates of the other princesses were unknown, and they certainly knew nothing about the affairs of the Rong Dynasty.

Not to mention the princes, not a single one knew about it.

On the road to the throne, only the sixth prince, the eighth prince, and the tenth prince survived. The sixth prince, Ni Huashuo, became the Prince of Min, and the tenth prince became the Prince of Yu. Both of them were people who lived far away from the capital and resided in their fiefdoms for a long time.

This eighth prince was the crown prince, and he died at the hands of his own mother.

It seems they can only pin their hopes on Qianyun, or on the descendants of the Sixth and Tenth Princes.

Both have little hope.

Chen Xiao and Xi Xi both thought of this at the same time. Chen Xiao, unaware of Xi Xi's abilities, couldn't help but sigh, "Such a flourishing royal family has simply disappeared into the long river of history."

Yin Yuyao thought about the royal family at that time and sighed, "Yes, it was all because of Ni Chengli's indulgence. Ni Chengli and his father were completely opposite."

The two of them complained about Ni Chengli for a while, while Xi Xi was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Xi Xi exclaimed, interrupting the two of them.

The two fell silent, looking at Xixi curiously. Chen Xiao asked, "What's wrong? Is there some ability you haven't mentioned yet?"

Xi Xi snapped out of her reverie from the light screen in her mind and just in time to hear her host's teasing remark. For once, she didn't refute it and nodded shyly.

Meeting the host's "I knew it" gaze, and Yin Yuyao's curious look, Xi Xi slowly spoke.

“The matter of Rongchao is over, and I cannot know about it. But I have other abilities. For example, as you just thought, Rongchao may still have descendants, and I can track down the descendants of King Min and King Yu in this interface.”

After saying that, Xi Xi leaned back, crossed her arms, and shrugged in one smooth motion, waiting for the two beauties in front of her to praise her.

Unfortunately, she won't be able to wait that long.

Because the two beauties only said "Oh~" and then there was no further explanation.

Xi Xi was somewhat shocked and puzzled, "What's going on!? Why are you two so calm!? Don't you care about this at all!?"

Chen Xiao wasn't indifferent, but as the current emperor of the Night Dynasty, she had to live in the present and fulfill her duties as the emperor of the Night Dynasty. She couldn't possibly use manpower to search for those descendants just to understand the affairs of the Rong Dynasty, could she?

Besides, even if they are found, what if their descendants don't know about these things? Or what if they do know but won't tell them?

She wouldn't believe everything Ning Ci and Xin Meiren said, let alone their descendants' descendants.

She couldn't believe those people's one-sided stories.

Yin Yuyao shared the same idea as Chen Xiao.

Although she was somewhat concerned about Ning Ci's descendants, she had never seen Ning Ci again after the assassination attempt.

If she could meet Ning Ci's descendants, she might be able to learn something about what happened after Ning Ci left the palace.

Of course, this also has to be based on the fact that Chen Xiao and Xi Xi are willing, because she has no power and no use to go looking for them. Chen Xiao and Xi Xi have already helped her a lot, and such a request is too presumptuous for her to make.

So she just made a statement and didn't reveal any further thoughts.

Xi Xi had no idea what they were thinking. All she knew was that she had such amazing abilities, yet she hadn't been praised!

She clenched her teeth and said resentfully, "Fine, if you won't praise me, I'll praise myself!"

Then she honestly told the two of them the results she had found.

King Rongchaomin died at the age of 68, and his descendants now live in Xunyang.

Prince Rongchao Yu lived to the age of 80, and his descendants now live in Xunyang.

Only then did the two react. Chen Xiao spoke first, "What a coincidence, the descendants of these two brothers both live in Xunyang?"

Xi Xi nodded, "Yes, this is the result I found. The specific location is also included. Their descendants are not unknown people; they are quite well-known in Xunyang."

After some thought, Chen Xiao abandoned the idea of ​​sending someone to search for them. He simply said to Yin Yuyao, "I don't think it's wise to disturb them rashly. What do you think?"

Yin Yuyao nodded. Chen Xiao's consideration was indeed thorough. However, Chen Xiao's next words made her quickly retract her opinion.
