At the same time, the Empire Heavenly Prison,

In the single room where the death row was detained, the prince and his mother, the concubine Ling Ruyi, owned one. Both of them were treated very well and were not troubled at all. However, the cell was a cell after all. For them, who have always been pampered, it would be a bad feeling to be in a cell.

Tuoba Zhen sat cross-legged, and behind him was an incredible darkness, as if it was a living thing, as if it was a living thing, as if it was a shadow lying on the wall, came alive.

His mother, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, looked completely surprised at what was behind her son, and whispered: "Zhen'er, the spy in the palace came to report that His Majesty had abdicated and announced that Tuobazi had performed the first emperor's revenge and would be closed for six months."

After hearing his mother's words, the darkness behind Tuoba Zhen contracted towards the center point. He took a deep breath and slowly recovered from meditation. He opened his eyes and showed his sharp gaze.

Even in prison, Tuoba Zhen was not wearing a prison uniform. He was wearing his favorite military uniform. He was a few years older than Tuoba Lie, but he looked very young. He looked like a young man in his twenties, with delicate skin, distinct facial features, and a faint evil spirit.

He breathed and relaxed, and looked at his mother's slightly haggard face and said deeply: "Mother, you have always been hiding something from the emperor."

The imperial concubine obviously didn't expect that he would say something once, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Zhener, what are you talking about?"

"About the father and your past!" Seeing that the mother's queen lowered her eyelids and looked like she was about to speak but stopped, Tuoba Zhen emphasized her tone: "Mother, do you know why the prince is in danger?"

"Isn't it to win over the ministers?"

“That’s just one of the reasons.”

“There are other reasons?”

"The so-called most dangerous place is the safest. The emperor wants to put it to death and live. This is the strategy that the emperor has been thinking about for a long time, a plan to revive the dead."

"A plan to revive the dead? Why do you do this, my son?"

"Because I realized that my father was not an ordinary person! His breath was even more ominous than the emperor's son. He pretended to cover up his purpose. He was planning something. He must have a grand plan to wait for implementation. We are all chess pieces on his chessboard and are the objects of being used."

"So that's why you are in danger. On the one hand, it deepens your ministers' favor for you, and on the other hand, it also keeps yourself away from that place of right and wrong, so as to watch the changes and see clearly what your father is planning for now."

"Yes, the reason why the emperor discovered something was wrong was because of the death of the two people."

"You mean..."

"I didn't send someone to kill the third brother and the ninth brother."

"It's not you? Is what you said true?"

"The emperor will not lie to his mother."

"Who could it be? Who has the courage to assassinate the prince?"

"Before, the emperor himself found it very strange that assassinating the third brother and the ninth brother would definitely be profitable to do this. And there are only a handful of people who can have such a way of being able to do this. If I am not the murderer of the emperor, only the elder brother Tuoba Yuanji and the sixth brother Tuoba Shou are capable of doing this.

Let’s not mention the death of the Ninth Brother. Once the Third Brother dies, the biggest victim is the eldest brother. It will undoubtedly cause the Murong family to suffer a serious blow to the control of Jinling City, which is not good for him. The Emperor believes that he is definitely not the one who dominates this matter behind the scenes. Could it be that the Sixth Brother Tuoba Shou? That person is low-key and insidious, always hiding behind the scenes to insert some spies from the Demon Sect in various parts of the Empire. These Emperors know very well. His ability mainly comes from the support of the Demon Sect, but the Third Brother's death obviously has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, but another force, a force from the people at work, so the suspicion of the Sixth Brother Tuoba Shou can basically be ruled out.

The suspicion of both of them was ruled out. Who would the murderer be? The emperor was puzzled. No matter how you look at it, the death of the third brother was a bloody beginning, indicating that the battle for the throne entered a stage of life and death, and the sword and gun were the fuse that provoked the more tense relationship between the princes. No matter which prince did it, it was actually unwise, because this incident shifted the struggle that had been suppressed in the audience to the stage and became clear. Once things that could not be shy suddenly became very dangerous.

After thinking about it, I couldn't get the answer, and I secretly sent someone to investigate but there was no result. Finally, I thought of a possibility.

Is it possible that the father is secretly making trouble. On the surface, it seems that the father is indulging in the fight against the throne, but his indulgence represents the checks and balances between the left and right, and because of his indulgence, my brother and I have grown to an extent that we cannot ignore. Once the third brother dies, the eldest brother will definitely target my doubts and start a war against me. This means that the fight between the two sides means that we both need to seek the help of the father to defeat each other. From this point of view, the biggest beneficiary of the third brother's death is the father, not the princes.

What's more, the third brother was originally secretly traveling to Jinling according to his father's secret order. He was able to arrange and send people to approach the third brother in advance, and the only one who assassinated the third brother was the father."

Listening to Tuoba Zhen uttering the guesses and doubts in her heart in full, the imperial concubine was deeply frown and did not say a word. The imperial concubine rarely did the act of locking the eyebrows because frowning would cause wrinkles. She loved beauty like her as she actually locked the eyebrows today, proving that Tuoba Zhen's words touched her heart.

But I heard the other party continue, "Talk's death again."

"The ninth brother is the worst of many princes. He was raised by a wet nurse since childhood and was the youngest. He was originally a man who completely left the battle for the throne, but he died tragically in the palace. Why?

After thinking about it, the only special thing about Ninth Brother was his age. Before Mrs. Quan Yu's child was born, Ninth Brother was the youngest among all the princes and the youngest boy. The father's attitude towards Ninth Brother has always been lukewarm. He should have intended to make us give up our guard against Ninth Brother.

But it is not normal for Concubine Rong to take the ninth brother as her adopted son as soon as she got pregnant. If she was afraid that the dragon seed in her belly would not be a boy, she took advantage of the favor and gave her a guarantee for her future life, she should not wait until she was pregnant before doing this, because any mother knows that the royal family is a cemetery and the princes are in a competitive relationship. From the perspective of the mother's love for the child, she will not allow anyone to compete for the favor of her own child; if she used this to assassinate the ninth brother, it would not be reasonable. After all, it is really difficult to harm a person in the palace and not be found clues. The risk she needs to take is too great as a mother who has just given birth to a child.

Concubine Rong's actions were obviously contradictory. The emperor inferred from this that someone was in charge behind the scenes that she accepted the ninth brother as her adopted son." Seeing that the mother was still silent and still unwilling to tell the truth, Tuoba Zhen simply revealed all the cruel facts he guessed, and even emphasized the tone of his tone: "Why would someone instruct Concubine Rong to do this? Because the ninth brother is young, his mind is not mature, his personality is not stable, and he is easy to control; why did the ninth brother die? Because the child who is younger and easier to control than him was born, this child is just a baby, and is the easiest time to control it, so the ninth brother who is beside Concubine Rong must die, so he should not see what he should not see.

The inner courtyard of the deep palace, the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the guards of the Imperial Guards, and the masters sent by the Buddha Sect are all there, and these people can make the assassin easily break in and kill the noble prince, and allow him to leave safely. How is this possible? Even I, I dare not say that if I do these things, I will not be discovered. This proves that the murderer can only come from the palace. Who will it be? Who insists on taking the life of the Ninth Brother and giving up the Empress Rong Concubine Rong and the child in the cradle who is only a wall away from him? Could it be that Concubine Rong robbed himself, thinking that his child had been born and was a boy, and the Ninth Brother had no use value and kept killing him. I don’t think so.

The Ninth Brother's death was very miserable. His head was left, and his body was twisted into a twist. Concubine Rong had a good aura, but it was not easy to do this. After all, the father would come at some point. There were so many people around him staring at him. It was difficult to kill people cruelly and leave safely. The son-in-law speculated that she was just a scapegoat, a knife blocker to attract other people's attention. The real master behind the scenes even put her underwear in the Ninth Brother's closet to divert people's attention.

Who is capable of doing this? Who is the first to let Concubine Rong take over the Ninth Brother and must kill him? After thinking about it, there is only one person who can do this. The man who created the great Jin Dynasty, the man with the greatest power in the country today, the man who persists in holding power and never enthrone the crown prince, the father of the emperor, and the old man Tuoba Gui, who is over 60 years old, can never think of anyone except that he has this ability and needs."

Finally, he said it, and finally revealed the true identity of the commander behind the scenes. Although it was just a guess, it was also very ruthless. After listening to Tuoba Zhen's analysis, the imperial concubine's eyes were scared and agreed. She actually turned against her previous motherly attitude and said to her favorite emperor very seriously: "Zhen'er, can only you and I hear the conversation now, right?"

"Don't worry, the entire prison of the emperor has been controlled by the emperor, and there will be no third person who can hear our conversation. Queen Mother, the emperor only wants to hear the truth, who are you? What kind of secrets do you have with your father? Why am I so different from ordinary people! Even Lie is different from the emperor! Why!"

"My son is grown up, my son is really grown up, I can't hide anything from you. You have been thinking about this for a long time, right?"

"Mother, the emperor has grown up to protect himself. Please tell me the truth and tell me the emperor whether you have known what the emperor is going to do for a long time, and have you already acquiesced to all this! Please tell me who I am, and whether Lie and I are biological brothers. Please tell me." Seeing that the matter was over, my mother was hesitant and unwilling to reveal the truth. The prince Zhen once again emphasized, "My father always thought that the emperor lived under his surveillance, but he didn't know that he was not all around him. While he was monitoring me, I was also silently monitoring him.

My father and the eldest princess Tuoba Fenghuang of the dynasty are not as simple as brothers and sisters, not just the emperor and eldest princess in public. They also have special identities. According to my investigation, I am afraid that the Tongtian Sect that has emerged in recent years and the faceless killer group, which has always been mysterious assassin organization, are supported by them behind their backs.

The father suddenly started giving birth to a boy in the past five years. This is obviously abnormal, which means he is brewing something. He needs a young, blood-related and unmatured child to achieve some ulterior motives. If the death of the third brother was to provoke bloody struggles between the princes and to weaken the power of both my elder brother and me; then the death of the ninth brother was because he was too close to the truth, or he saw the truth so he was silenced, so there was no trace, so he could never find the murderer. The ninth brother is a test subject, and the newborn child is what the father really needs. You have been taking the blame for him over the years. There must be a reason why the father cannot give birth to a boy, and there must be a reason why he has always been pampering you. You must know this reason, who is close to him for many years. Please tell me what the father is going to do!

Queen Mother, please don’t hesitate anymore. Please don’t worry about the relationship between husband and wife. You know too many secrets. One day, you will be silenced like the Ninth Brother, and one day you will become a person. My father’s true purpose can be guessed. But Queen Mother’s true identity, my son’s true identity, and the relationship between our father and Lie'er is what the emperor really wants to know. Mother, please tell the emperor, what is this all about, what secrets are hidden in this harem? Please tell the emperor.”

Tuoba Zhen told the matter so much that the imperial concubine Ling Ruyi finally spoke. She raised her head and looked out of the clouds through the wet dome of the sky. She looked at a certain point in the void, and looked at the distant past. "Oh, things have come to this point, and Wei Niang will no longer hide it from you. As you think, you and Lie'er are different, completely different! Wei Niang is not an ordinary identity, we are all..."

The shocking secret slowly came with the gentle voice of the imperial concubine Ling Ruyi. From Tuoba Zhen's wide eyes and tight face, it can be seen how shocking this secret is.

Sometimes, it’s good to be buried in your heart forever. Knowing the secret will not only make people feel relaxed, but will carry a burden on your shoulders. The world around you will collapse and there will be no tiles left.
