The King of Beining casually pulled out the long sword, didn’t give him another glance as he fell to the ground, but turned his head to talk to Prime Minister Pei.
Zong Chengsi lay on the ground, feeling the pain of his heart shattering.
At the moment of dying, he suddenly heard Pei Qianxue’s words.
“Huainan, you are clearly the legitimate heir to the throne of the Great Yuan imperial family, why not make it public, why ascend to the throne in such an illegitimate way?”
There were only three people in the hall. He was lying on the ground, Pei Qianxue’s words could only be said to the King of Beining.
But the King of Beining? The legitimate heir? Zong Chengsi almost doubted his ears.
“Could it be because of Jin Yu?”
Pei Qianxue guessed uncertainly. “Jin Yu is not of Emperor Yuan’s bloodline, does he not know about this?”
Compared to this handsome speech, the other’s voice seemed particularly careless. “What does it have to do with him. He has already committed suicide, he is dead and can’t die again, what’s the use of making it public.”
“Pei Qianxue, you are presumptuous. I want to do this, just because I want to, not everything has to have a why.”
Yu Beizhou said in a low voice. “Even if I hate him, I have to tell him upright. I never deign to bear the name of a scoundrel after death.”
When he woke up, Zong Chengsi found that he had rolled off the bed, his ear against the cold ground.
The pain of the sword piercing his heart in the dream was so painful that when he woke up, his chest was still faintly aching.
However, these were nothing compared to the big secret Zong Chengsi learned from the dream.
It turns out that Yu Beizhou was the bloodline of Emperor Yuan, and his Third Imperial Brother was just a fake prince who had taken over the nest!
This news was so big, it’s simply absurd. However, Zong Chengsi subconsciously felt that it was true, and he didn’t even need to seek evidence. Just say it out, go find the Great Witch to detect the bloodline, and it would be clear at a glance.
After digesting this shocking news, after his soul returned for a moment, Zong Chengsi almost joyfully put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and hurriedly walked outside.
“Prepare the carriage, quickly, this prince is going to the palace to see His Majesty, immediately!”
Coincidentally, Gongsun You, who had just returned from the Sixth Prince’s Mansion, saw this scene and keenly noticed the joy on Zong Chengsi’s face. He asked calmly, “Fourth Highness, you seem to be in a hurry. What happened?”
At this point, it was already evening, and soon it would be the time for the palace gates to close. In principle, they should not disturb His Majesty anymore. Unless it was an emergency, how could they rush to enter the palace?
Moreover, the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony was held today.
The Imperial City tonight was even more heavily guarded than before the ceremony, because almost half of the palace changes in the imperial family occur tonight, and one could see heavily guarded soldiers every few steps.
At such an important and sensitive moment, Pei Qianxue naturally had to keep an eye on these princes, secretly instigating discord from them, and could not let them ruin His Majesty’s good deeds.
“Indeed, there is an emergency, but it’s a great thing!”
Zong Chengsi was now on a roll, and Gongsun You was one of the few confidants he recognized. Plus, he was about to enter the palace to report this big news to Emperor Yuan, so he said it.
Of course, involving secrets, he still kept a careful eye, and said excitedly in a low voice. “This prince inadvertently learned a big secret, related to the Third Prince.”
“If this matter is found guilty, it could be deprivation of power at the lightest, and death at the worst.”
Bloodline had always been the most important thing in the imperial family’s inheritance since ancient times.
Even if the emperor favored the Third Prince again, if he knew about this, let alone losing favor, it was possible to deprive him of the title of Crown Prince, put him in prison, and give him a cup of poison to die.
This was truly irreparable.
“Alright, I’ll go into the palace first.”
Seeing the carriage coming, Zong Chengsi couldn’t wait to jump on it.
He lifted the curtain of the carriage. “Wait for me to report to Father Emperor, and then come back to discuss specific matters with you.”
The pleasure of revenge was brewing in his heart, wishing to enter the palace faster and faster.
Zong Chengsi arrived at the gate of the palace and only said that he had an urgent matter to report to His Majesty.
After all, he was a prince, and there was absolutely no reason to wait at the door. So the eunuch considered it for a while, and first brought Zong Chengsi in, settled him outside the hall, and then found someone to go in and report.
While waiting for the report, Zong Chengsi was anxious.
He seemed to have thought of his Father Emperor’s disbelief later, and the anger after finding out the truth.
And him making a great contribution, it was not impossible to take over Yuchun Palace as a matter of course.
Haha, the Third Imperial Brother must not have thought that he would have such a day.
After hearing the footsteps, Zong Chengsi turned around in surprise. “How is it?”
What he didn’t expect was that the person who came was not the palace attendant who had just gone to report.
From the corner of the deep red palace wall, a ghost-like figure suddenly walked out.
Wearing a long robe of the same deep red color, with his ink-black hair spread out, his beautiful face covered in shadow, inexplicably made people feel gloomy and terrifying, like a ghost seeking life.
Seeing this face, Zong Chengsi’s legs softened first.
Yu Beizhou squinted his eyes. “So the first loophole turns out to be you.”
