As soon as he said these words, the entire darkroom fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Tian didn't speak, but a dangerous cold light burst out from Wei Yunting's eyes.
He stared at Xiao Sheng closely: "Master, by bringing up these past events, do you want to drive a wedge between us?"
Xiao Sheng was not afraid, he just curled his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. I just see that your wife is so beautiful and kind. It would be a pity if you were used as a substitute."
Wei Yunting clenched his hands into fists and made a cracking sound. ?.?????.???
He was thinking about whether it was right or wrong to rescue Xiao Sheng.
It is true that there is a crisis in the court, but as a prince far away on the border, he has a heavy army and cannot do anything, so why help him to conquer the world.
I wanted to teach him a lesson, but who would have thought that he would have such a dark mind.
"The prince doesn't understand the whole story, so there's no need to talk nonsense."
Wei Yunting directly revealed his identity.
Hearing him call him Prince, Xiao Sheng's expression froze and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian did not show surprise, but asked Xiao Sheng: "Who do I look like?"
Wei Yunting looked at Jiang Tian sharply.
Xiao Sheng's throat tightened, and he knew that he had done something villainous today.
But Jiang Tian was cold to him and hot to Wei Yunting, which really made him feel unhappy.
He said slowly: "I have a cousin, called Duan Rong. Her father died when she was young. His father was considerate and took her into the palace and made her a princess. She is gentle and gentle, with a beautiful appearance. The prince once thought of her when he was young. Marrying her as my wife just didn’t work out.”
"Later, my cousin had no choice but to marry someone else. The prince turned gray overnight and everyone in the capital knew about it."
"And you look at least five or six similar to her."
In fact, he went too far. Jiang Tian and Duan Rong have completely different temperaments, and the similarities in facial features have long been diluted by temperament.
But he wanted to see how Jiang Tian would react after knowing that she was someone else's substitute.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Tian turned to look at Wei Yunting again: "Is what he said true?"
Wei Yunting thought Jiang Tian would ignore him again. When he heard her inquiry, he hurriedly held her hand regardless of Xiao Sheng's presence.
Immediately, he shook his head in denial: "Of course it's not true."
Jiang Tian remained calm: "Then tell me what the truth is. If you treat me as a substitute, that's the end of it for us. I'll still be your wife, so there's no need for romance. I'll serve you at night. It’s my responsibility.”
When Wei Yunting heard this, his eyes turned red. He stretched out his hand to block her mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are ruining yourself by saying these things!"
After staring at Xiao Sheng solemnly, Wei Yunting sneered.
"The prince is really getting back to his old age as he gets older, with a twenty-year-old age and a ten-year-old mind. Since you have brought up the past, I will make it clear to you."
As he spoke, Wei Yunting suddenly tore open his clothes, pointed to a scar on his chest and said, "The reason why I turned gray overnight was because I blocked a knife for your father and was poisoned."
"Your father, although he had some abilities when he was young, he was very beautiful. You should know that. The nobles of the aristocratic family had long regarded him as a puppet, and the power in his hands was taken away from him."
"Back then, he took in a new concubine, who was a spy sent by the enemy country. At that time, I was secretly working for him. One night, I happened to come to discuss something with him and saw him and the concubine having fun in the palace. The palace maid and eunuch didn't say anything. Any sound means something is wrong."
"When I went in and saw that all the maids and eunuchs were dead, the concubine took out a knife and was about to stab the emperor."
"The distance was too close, so I had no choice but to take a knife for him. I never expected that the knife was poisonous. If I hadn't had internal energy to protect my body, not to mention my hair turning gray overnight, the grass on the grave would have been as tall as a man's."
When Wei Yunting said this, Xiao Sheng's expression changed.
His face was extremely ugly: "You saved my father and protected him well, so why bother to cover it up?"
The smile in Wei Yunting's eyes became even colder: "Of course it's because - that concubine has a fetus in her arms. At that time, the emperor only had a son, you. He had to raise you to death under the supervision of all the civil and military officials, so what was going on in his heart? Can you not be anxious?"
"In order for that child to have a good background, he could only hide the assassination of the concubine."
"As for Duan Rong and me, it's all nonsense. His powerful eunuch deliberately found someone to spread the news and hide the truth about my injury. Duan Rong and I only met once, and it was said that we were in love."
At this point, Wei Yunting's tone changed again, with a hint of coolness: "However, the woman committed suicide in the end. She didn't want to give birth to your father's child. But I, on the other hand, got my reputation tarnished for no reason."
Xiao Sheng was shaken by the series of news and remained silent for a long time.
Wei Ting exhaled a sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Jiang Tian with aggrieved tone: "I've only seen her face once, and I don't even remember what she looks like, so why would I let you be a substitute?"
"You really have wronged me."
