Xiao Yan said: "This governor is just guessing."
"But..." the fourth prince frowned: "None of the Lu family's aunts were pregnant when Xie Yin was born..."
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Who told His Highness that Xie Yin must be the son of Prince Cheng?"
The fourth prince suddenly opened his mouth, extremely shocked.
Xiao Yan looked at him: "King Cheng has been in prison for so long and has never even mentioned Xie Yin, let alone whether he is still alive. Just now you said that you would intercede for Xie Yin and sacrifice the safety of his only son. He was unmoved even when he spoke, does His Highness think it's normal?"
The fourth prince shook his head reflexively, which was certainly not normal.
Xiao Yan laughed: "I have interrogated countless people. No matter how cruel or evil they are, they always have weaknesses. King Cheng only has a son like Xie Yin, but he actually doesn't care whether Xie Yin lives or dies."
"His collusion with the Lu family has long been exposed, but he killed the people who refused to confess and were flirting with him. It can't be because he is serious about his love and will die for it."
The Fourth Prince frowned a little, subconsciously feeling that it was impossible.
He is also a member of the royal family, and he also knows that the royal family has always been cold-blooded, and Prince Cheng can do anything to Princess Cheng, who has been married to Princess Cheng for nearly 20 years, so how can he be a sentimental person.
Xie Tianyu has fallen into this situation, but he still refuses to involve the Lu family. It is absolutely impossible for the sake of love. It is probably because of some reasons that must not be mentioned.
If Xie Yin is not the son of Prince Cheng, then the child in Princess Cheng's belly a few days ago is the only bloodline of Prince Cheng, but he abandoned it like a pair of worn-out shoes and did not hesitate to take action. He was so unconcerned that unless he himself had already He has blood, but he has a child of his own, but he has allowed an unrelated scoundrel to occupy the position of the prince's son for many years...
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, unless there was something more noble than the status of the prince of the palace.
The fourth prince paused in his heart and blurted out: "Prince Cheng's son will be raised in the Lu family?"
It was actually the clues Xiao Yan gave him, all of which pointed to the Lu family.
In his opinion, King Cheng was destined not to inherit the throne, and his son would only be an idle son for the rest of his life. His father was afraid of King Cheng and deliberately ignored him outside the court. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Prince Cheng will The further you stay away from the court, the more your title will be diluted from generation to generation.
But it would be different if King Cheng's son became the son of the Lu family.
The power of the aristocratic family once surpassed the imperial power. When the Lu family was at its peak, even the father was afraid of it. If this son could be raised in the Lu family, or even become the legitimate son of the Lu family, and gain control of the entire Lu family in the future, then no matter his status, he would be Far more than a mere prince of the royal family. Moreover, if the position of the heir apparent of Prince Cheng's Palace can be "occupied" by a descendant of the Lu family, when Prince Cheng's bloodline inherits the Lu family, Prince Cheng's Palace will also be able to assist his son.
The fourth prince almost guessed most of the truth, but because he was misled by Xiao Yan from the beginning, the "truth" was distorted to the point where it was difficult to pull it back.
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Prince Cheng is living with that person. Long before he married Princess Cheng, if he had an heir, he would probably be twenty..."
The fourth prince's heart skipped a beat. The daughter of the Lu family, the legitimate son, was twenty years old...
A figure flashed in his mind: "Lu Zhinian?!"
The next moment he lost his voice:
"Mrs. Lu?!"
Xiao Yan raised his lips: "Your Highness is wise."
Tang Ning: "..."
I always feel that my brother is getting better and better at deceiving people.
Seeing the fourth prince's expression of disbelief when he discovered the truth, she widened her eyes and looked shocked: "How is it possible? Could His Highness have thought wrong? How could Lu Zhinian be the son of Prince Cheng?"
She then seemed to think of something and lost her voice: "No, could it really be..."
Tang Ning murmured in a low voice: "No wonder, no wonder when I wanted to break off my engagement with the Lu family, he refused to agree to anything and even argued with my aunt."
The fourth prince looked over: "He doesn't want you to break off your engagement with the Lu family?"
Tang Ning nodded: "He kept blocking it and got into a quarrel with my aunt over this matter. It was because of his wrong attitude that my aunt and I discovered the clues and realized that he was lying for the Song family..."
"That's it!"
The fourth prince seemed to have found evidence and clapped his hands fiercely: "That's his biological son. How could he be willing to let you break off your engagement with him and let him lose the benefits brought by the Rong family!"
King Cheng had the favor of the Rong family back then. Even if Rong Qianan died, he would still have the things he left behind. There is also the good reputation of the Rong family, which is beneficial to the Lu family.
How could Prince Cheng be willing to break off the engagement?
The fourth prince looked calmly: "So that's the case. Prince Cheng kept it a secret!"
Tang Ning frowned: "But Lu Zhinian has long been missing, and Mrs. Lu will probably deny it..."
"If there is contact, there will be no traces."
Xiao Yan said: "Earlier when King Cheng was imprisoned, I found a lot of things from him. Many of them seemed to be gifts from women. If it is really Mrs. Lu, she must have some of them."
The fourth prince's mind raced and he answered: "If it is really the eldest lady, then we go directly there now. She won't have time to destroy it, and we will definitely catch someone and get the stolen goods!"
Cheng Ping was immediately frightened when he heard this. He turned around and said urgently: "Your Highness, think twice and go directly to the Lu family. If no evidence is found..."
The fourth prince hesitated immediately.
Xiao Yan said softly: "It would be best if someone can steal the stolen goods and get it. Even if it can't be done, it is a fact that the female members of the Lu family are in conflict with King Cheng. Your Highness is following His Majesty's order to investigate this matter. It is only natural that you please come back for questioning."
"Prince Cheng has been in prison for a long time, and the news of his imprisonment may not be hidden from anyone. If the Lu family knows that His Highness has come to see him, then they will definitely be on guard..."
The fourth prince was so happy that he said with a fierce expression: "President Xiao is right, soldiers are valuable and quick."
The Lu family was unkind to him, so no wonder he was unjust.
"Please also ask Governor Xiao to lend me some people. I'll go to the Lu family right now!"
Xiao Yan nodded: "It's easy, Canglang, take the black armor guard with the fourth prince to protect him and prevent the Lu family from colliding with him."
"Master Xiao, won't you go with me?" the fourth prince asked.
"His Highness, you want to go with me?" Xiao Yan said quietly: "I don't mind going together, but you are going alone to run errands for His Majesty. If I am with you, others may think too much."
"If your Highness doesn't mind, I will go with you..."
"No need!!"
The fourth prince was agitated when he heard this. He remembered that Xiao Yan had made enemies in the court and fought against the aristocratic family to death. He had given up on the Lu family, but he had not given up on others.
The fourth prince said quickly: "Director Xiao, just lend it to me."
The fourth prince led Canglang and the others away quickly, with a hint of revenge hidden on his face. Tang Ning watched his figure disappear in front of the prison, and then turned his head thoughtfully: "Brother, what happened to him? He suddenly Do you hate the Lu family so much?"
Xiao Yan raised his lips and said, "It's not that big of a deal. I just sent Lu Chongyuan to the woman in his house, and planned to let him know a thing or two about leaving the father and leaving the son behind."
Tang Ning was shocked: "Real or false?"
Xiao Yan said: "Half and half, the Queen sold the Lu family last time, and Lu Chongyuan started to think about it."
She was delivered and given the medicine, but she was not pregnant yet, and Lu Chongyuan had not yet made up his mind to kill the queen and her son.
Tang Ning: "..."
It has to be said that the people of the aristocratic family are indeed inhumane. Their own grandsons will leave at will, and the grandsons who have supported them for many years will leave at will. It is no wonder that the fourth prince is cruel to the Lu family.
"Would you like to go to the Lu family to watch the fun?" Xiao Yan asked.
Tang Ning's heart moved: "Now?" She whispered: "Can I go?"
Xiao Yan raised his lips: "There is no place in the capital that you can't go to." He asked, "Do you want to go?"
Tang Ning nodded crazily. It would be in vain if you don't watch the lively dog-eating-dog scene! Although Canglang was able to bring the news back, it was not as satisfying as seeing it with his own eyes.
Xiao Yan had a smile in his eyes and knocked on the car wall: "Go to the Lu family."
The carriage headed straight for the Lu family. Tang Ning was still thinking about how her brother would take her to watch the fun. She couldn't just say no and then enter the Lu family openly.
When the carriage stopped in the alley next to the Lu's house, she realized how shocking the excitement was. She was carried by Xiao Yan and jumped onto the roof of the Lu's house, entering the Lu's house as if there was no one around.
Tang Ning felt herself rising into the air, and when she landed, she was standing in a blind spot on the roof.
Xiao Yancai lowered his head: "Is it fun?"
Tang Ning clutched Xiao Yan's waist tightly, her lips were trembling and her face was red.
So... so exciting!
