The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

"Brother!"

"Your Majesty, I truly know nothing!"

Prince Duan's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted until his voice was hoarse, each word filled with tears.

But the "Imperial Brother" that appeared again after many years did not evoke any brotherly feelings in Xie Yunze's heart. Instead, he became even angrier, flicked his sleeves, and displayed his imperial aura.

"Still making excuses!"

"You shouldn't have laid a hand on Yan Huai!"

Seeing that Xie's neck was red with anger, and the bad uncle kneeling on the ground was still trying to argue, Aning couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately stuck the truth talisman on his body, put her hands on her hips, and looked cute but fierce.

"From now on, you must answer whatever Aning asks you. No more lying!"

"Was it you who ordered the poison to be used on Brother Xiao Huai?!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Duan tried to deny it and even shook his head.

But his mouth seemed to be out of his control, revealing the whole truth clearly...

"yes!"

"I obtained a Gu worm by chance and learned how to control it. I then bribed the eunuch who serves the Sixth Prince to implant the Gu worm into the Sixth Prince!"

Xie Yunze coldly glanced at Consort Zhuang, who was kneeling to one side and whose expression was clearly off, and asked, word by word:

"Why?!"

Ah Ning stood next to Xie Yunze, hands on her hips, and repeated aggressively, "Why?!"

Prince Duan's face twisted in a grimace: "Royal brother! You love the Sixth Prince so much, even though he's seriously ill and incredibly weak, he's still your favorite son!"

"If Xie Yanhuai doesn't die, how will you ever see Consort Zhuang's son? He'll just end up like me back then, unable to gain the Emperor's favor, destined to be a nobody in this deep palace!"

"A nobody who suffered injustice and had no one to stand up for her!"

Everything that should and shouldn't have been said has been said...

Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about.

Prince Duan slowly stood up, his eyes bloodshot:

"The throne of the Great Liang Dynasty has always been awarded to the most capable! As princes, who wouldn't want to gain their father's favor? Who wouldn't want to compete for the throne? But fathers like you have personally deprived your other sons of the right to vie for the throne!"

"Father only has eyes for you, so the other brothers who are not favored, including me, will forever be your foil! Forever just a dull and insignificant pawn!"

"And Xie Yanhuai now is just like you back then! Consort Zhuang's son is just like me back then!"

Xie Yunze's face was icy, revealing neither joy nor anger: "I have never said that I would make the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince, nor have I ever had such an intention!"

Prince Duan scoffed coldly: "Brother, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Xie Yunze remained silent.

Xiao Huai was sickly, and he never had the idea of ​​making him the crown prince. He only wanted him to grow up healthy and carefree for the rest of his life...

He was the emperor.

He doesn't need to report any of his thoughts or decisions to anyone!

Xie Yunze coldly glanced at Prince Duan and asked:

"Yan Cheng, like Niao Niao, is he also your flesh and blood?"

"Your Majesty! No!" Consort Zhuang finally couldn't hold back any longer, scrambling to her feet and grabbing Xie Yunze's robe. "You've misunderstood! I have absolutely no relationship with Prince Duan!"

"Yuanyi!" Prince Duan looked at Consort Zhuang with bloodshot eyes. "At this point, what's the point of hiding anything?!"

He strode forward, grabbed Consort Zhuang's wrist, and brought her to his side, looking at Xie Yunze provocatively.

"Your Majesty, I have a close relationship with Consort Zhuang! Xie Yanniao and Xie Yancheng are also my children!"

"My brother did all this, even resorting to poison to kill the Sixth Prince, all to pave the way for Xie Yancheng!"

"Now that the truth is out, you may kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

"Prince Duan, you—" Consort Zhuang looked at him in disbelief, feeling as if she didn't recognize the madman in front of her.

"Yuanyi!" Prince Duan cried out in anguish, "Haven't you had enough of this clandestine life? I've had enough!"

"Now that things have been exposed, there's no way we can leave unscathed. And who knows what kind of punishment Niao Niao and Yan Cheng will receive! It's all in vain now..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Consort Zhuang's face, his eyes filled with heartache: "Even if it means death, as long as I can be with you, I have nothing to fear!"

Ah Ning blinked, somewhat confused.

Prince Duan seems to like Consort Zhuang, but if he does, why does he want to drag her down with him?

Aning loved her mother, but she never thought of taking her mother with her to die.

If that's the case, does Prince Duan really like Consort Zhuang?

You don't like it, right?

Ah Ning looked up and saw another tear fall from the corner of Prince Duan's bloodshot eye...

Um......

He cried.

If you don't like it, why would you cry?

Is it liking or disliking?

Ah Ning scratched the back of her head, somewhat confused...

Seeing that Father Xie remained silent and Consort Zhuang looked lost and dejected, A-Ning pursed her lips, stepped forward, and looked up at Prince Duan.

"Don't die yet!"

"Let's get rid of the Gu poison in Brother Xiao Huai's body first!"

The childish voice reached his ears, and Xie Yunze snapped out of his reverie, letting out a barely audible sigh:

"Let's cure Xiao Huai's poison first; we can talk about other things later."

Prince Duan's eyelashes trembled as he looked at the unconscious little figure on the bed, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Why didn't Xie Yanhuai die?

If Xie Yanhuai had been killed by the Gu worms long ago, perhaps none of this would have happened!

Thinking of this, he shifted his fierce gaze and slowly fixed it on A Ning.

And this little girl.

She's the real culprit!

His poison was already well-hidden, so much so that even the Imperial Advisor couldn't detect it!

But then a strange little girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere...!

Prince Duan took a deep breath, gripped Consort Zhuang's hand tightly, then slowly released it and stepped forward.

"The poison in the Sixth Prince's body can be cured."

"But I have one condition!"

Seeing his resolute and fearless demeanor, Xie Yunze had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. After a moment of contemplation, he said:

"explain."

Prince Duan: "I'm willing to die, but I want Yuan Yi to leave the capital safely with the two children!"

Xie Yunze suddenly clenched his fist in his sleeve and looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Are you threatening me?

Prince Duan gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Your subject dares not. Your subject is willing to exchange his own life for the lives of Consort Zhuang and her two children!"

"If Your Majesty agrees, I will immediately cure the Sixth Prince of the poison!"

She cheated on him right under his nose, hurt his own flesh and blood, and now she wants to threaten him?

They simply don't respect him, the emperor, at all!

Xie Yunze's expression was cold, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

After taking several deep breaths, I finally gave in.

"I can spare their lives."

"But they can never step out of the palace in their entire lives!"

Although he was furious, he couldn't risk Xiao Huai's life.

That was his and Yu Yao's only child...

"Very well!" Prince Duan kowtowed. "Your Majesty's word is law; I trust you will not go back on your word!"

His forehead slammed heavily against the floor, drawing out a trickle of blood.

But Prince Duan seemed to feel no pain at all; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief...

He knew that Xie Yunze deeply loved Xie Yanhuai and would never allow Xie Yanhuai to die.

The truth has already been revealed. As long as Yuanyi and her two children can be saved, anything is acceptable...
