The court and the dynasty were shaken!
The people were uneasy!
The fact that Shen Fei was the son of Prince Ning shocked countless people!
This overturned people's worldview!
After all, Shen Fei was the commander of the imperial guard and the third son of King Wu!
This was known throughout the land!
But who would have thought that he would claim to be Prince Ning's son?
"Shen Fei, do you know what you're saying? Do you know what you're doing?" Shen Lang roared with anger!
He never expected Shen Fei to betray his father at this moment!
And to claim he was Prince Ning's son!
Shen Fei said angrily, "Of course I know what I'm saying, and I know who my father is!"
"Not only that, but I also know that Shen Duantian killed my mother and elder brother when my mother was giving birth, and then secretly took me away!"
"I have already been to my mother's tomb and performed a blood test!"
"Are you truly my son?"
Prince Ning looked nervous!
A few days ago, he had received a message!
Saying that Shen Fei was his son!
At first, he didn't believe it at all!
Because he had no idea his wife was carrying twins!
He had intended to come to Bai Di City immediately!
But the message was very clear, telling him to appear when King Wu ascended the throne!
At that moment, he knew that an expert had set up a game!
A game with King Wu as a pawn!
"Your Highness, I have already used the art of observing qi, and he is indeed your son!" An old man behind Prince Ning said!
Prince Ning's eyes welled up with tears. He never imagined he still had a son!
And such an outstanding person!
But thinking of his wife and another son who tragically died at King Wu's hands, a strong rage erupted in his heart. "King Wu, you are cruel and inhumane. With your character, what right do you have to sit on the throne?"
"If the empire falls into your hands, the common people will surely live in misery!"
King Wu sneered, "Although I don't know how Shen Fei learned of his lineage, so what?"
"Do you think you can defeat me?"
"Since I cannot make you father and son turn against each other, then I will send you both to the netherworld together!" With that, he waved his hand and said directly to Shen Cong, "Kill them!"
Shen Cong grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I cannot obey your command!"
This remark shocked everyone!
No one expected that even Shen Cong would refuse King Wu's order!
King Wu became furious, "You too want to betray me?"
Shen Cong appeared beside Shen Fei and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Shen Duantian, as they say, heaven watches everything. Do you really think you can keep all your secrets?" Shen Cong said angrily, "Do you think I don't know my own lineage?"
"Is it possible that the eldest prince is not King Wu's descendant either?"
"My heavens, this is impossible!"
The officials discussed amongst themselves, their eyes full of shock!
Shen Cong said, "My surname is Lu, and I am a descendant of the former dynasty's prime minister!"
"Eighty years ago, King Wu sent people to abduct me from my father's side!"
"His purpose was the same as the third son's!"
"He wanted us to kill each other when my father attacked Bai Di City!"
"Unfortunately, man's schemes are no match for heaven's will. Your actions can never be kept secret!"
King Wu's face turned grim!
The betrayal of Shen Cong and Shen Fei was beyond his expectations!
He had always believed he could control everyone in the palm of his hand!
But he never dreamed that the two sons living under his nose would bite him so fiercely!
"Did you kill You Jin?" King Wu asked through gritted teeth!
Only a handful of people knew about that incident, so he thought of the missing You Jin!
Shen Cong replied, "Yes, You Jin told me all of this. Otherwise, we would have continued to live in the lies you fabricated!"
King Wu asked confusedly, "There's something I don't understand. Since you know your lineage, why did you attack Lang'er? Why did your people pretend to defect to Lang'er back then?"
Shen Cong grinned, "To gain your trust, we had to make some sacrifices and play a scene with you and your son?"
King Wu showed a playful smile, "I'd really like to know, who is the protagonist of this play?"
"Naturally, it is my father, Lu Zheng!" Saying this, Shen Cong looked at Chen Nan!
At this moment!
Chen Nan became the focus of all the officials in the court!
His young age and position as the current Right Prime Minister already made countless people confused and curious!
Even as a strategist for the Crown Prince's mansion, he shouldn't have become Right Prime Minister based on seniority.
King Wu's eyes showed disbelief, "He is your father?"
Everyone else's scalps tingled!
Chen Nan was clearly younger than Shen Cong!
Shen Cong said, "His name is Chen Nan, but his soul has been possessed by my father!"
Everyone understood!
It was known to the world that Nascent Soul stage cultivators could possess others' souls!
At the same time, King Wu finally understood why Chen Nan's intelligence was close to that of a demon!
It turned out it was all because of Lu Zheng!
Thinking of this, he grinned, "Hilarious, truly hilarious. As a son, you actually took your father to the Ten Thousand Monster Cave!"
"Not only that, but you even arranged two female demons for your father!"
"Your service is truly thoughtful!"
"This is truly filial piety to the extreme!"
"I'm dying of filial piety!"
Shen Cong became furious but didn't know how to retort!
Because taking Chen Nan to the Ten Thousand Monster Cave was the thing he regretted most in his life!
At this moment, Chen Nan's voice sounded, "Alright, I'm done pretending. I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm actually from the mortal world!"
"Not Lu Zheng!"
"Lu Zheng is dead. An accident happened when he was trying to possess me!"
"You are not my father?" Shen Cong asked, his face full of shock!
He had always regarded Chen Nan as his own father!
But he never expected an accident to happen to his father during possession!
Everyone else felt their brains were not enough to process this!
There were too many revelations today!
Chen Nan said, "Your father was attacked by two strong individuals under King Wu and was severely injured. Although he wanted to possess me, an accident occurred!"
"But why did you pretend to be my father?" Shen Cong glared, wishing he could tear Chen Nan to pieces!
Chen Nan replied, "King Wu colluded with your people to harm the Jia family. I needed a witness for this matter."
"Your former dynasty's princess is the best witness. As for your appearance, it was beyond my expectations!"
"However, your appearance has also helped me a great deal!"
"Otherwise, my plan would not have gone so smoothly!"
"Of course, you don't need to hold any ill will towards me, because we have the same enemy!"
King Wu narrowed his eyes, "So, the reason the two of them attacked the Crown Prince, and the betrayal of his subordinates, were all orchestrated by you?"
Chen Nan stated, "That's right. It was all within my plan. My purpose in doing this was to gain your trust and obtain the whereabouts of the imperial decree and the death-exempt token!"
"To prove the Jia family's innocence!"
King Wu's fury erupted, "But so what?"
"I am the ruler of this land!"
"Whether the Jia family is guilty or not is for me to decide!"
"Even if you obtain the imperial decree and the death-exempt token, what good will it do?"
"Who says you are the ruler of this land?"
Without any warning, a voice that made all the officials' scalps tingle resounded!
Immediately afterward, Emperor Qin Jing, Shen Ao, appeared before everyone in his dragon robe!
