Chapter 621: Demon Noble Lord = Ye Jingxiu?
The Seventh Princess was as wise and intelligent as the current Prince Rui, with both literary and military skills, and was deeply loved by the late emperor.
However, due to the dispute over the crown prince, he was slandered and framed, and was eventually wrongly accused of treason. On his way back to Beijing, he encountered bandits and died in Duantianling.
His father's family, the Ye clan, was also falsely accused of treason and nine clans were implicated. Ye Guijun was also falsely accused of murdering the royal heir, banished to the cold palace, and was poisoned to death.
Later, when the late emperor was critically ill, the princess received news that the late emperor intended to make the third princess the crown prince and depose the princess.
The princess was shocked and angry. She was instigated to secretly give the late emperor drugs, aggravating the toxin attack in the empress's body.
Afterwards, the princess rebelled and joined forces with the fourth and sixth princes to attack the palace. They ordered people to kill the third princess and forced the late emperor to write a letter of abdication. The late emperor was already paralyzed by poison, and was so angry at the princess's move that he vomited blood and died.
At this time, the second princess broke into the palace in the name of clearing the court, killed the crown princess, and exiled the fourth and sixth princesses.
The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. The Fifth Princess is mediocre, the Eighth Princess is competitive, and the Ninth Princess is young. The only one who can take the position is the Second Princess.
Thus, the second princess Ji Yao ascended the throne legitimately and changed the reign title to Jian'an.
After Ji Yao ascended the throne, she eliminated dissidents and arrested many remaining forces of her hostile sisters in the name of killing rebels. The court also underwent a major reshuffle.
Judging from the various means Ji Yao used after ascending to the throne, it is impossible for her to sit on the throne just by luck.
So what did she do in this?
Is it true that the Ye family colluded with the enemy and committed treason?
And the princess was already the crown prince, so why would she want to abdicate and seize the throne?
And how did the second princess just happen to enter the palace successfully and purge the emperor's side?
Is all this just a coincidence?
Or was it premeditated?
The entire Ye family was executed at that time, and with Ji Yao's methods, there was no way she would leave anyone alive.
Maybe Ji Yao didn't expect it either.
Another person escaped that year.
That man was Ye Guijun's younger brother. His biological father was from Jin and was born into the underworld.
Influenced by his surroundings, he yearned for the martial arts world since he was a child, and often followed his father to visit his grandfather. When he grew up, he liked to travel the world with a sword and become a swordsman. On the day when the Ye family got into trouble, Ye Jingxiu was not there at all.
And because he often came into contact with foreigners, he was very disgusted with the obedient and docile attitude of Eastern Zhou men.
Although the Ye family did not say anything, many people were dissatisfied with this young master.
On the day when the Ye family encountered the disaster, Ye Jingxiu was not in Dongzhou, so he naturally escaped the disaster.
After listening to Di Ran's words, Yan Qingping frowned.
"So, you suspect that Yao Guijun is Ye Jingxiu's man?"
Di Ran glanced at her and said, "Why don't you suspect that Yao Guijun is Ye Jingxiu?"
Yan Qingping was slightly stunned and rolled his eyes: "Isn't this nonsense?"
"How old was Ye Jingxiu back then? Look at Yao Guijun's age now?"
Because of his personality, Ye Jingxiu did not get married after his coming-of-age ceremony, and waited until he was in his twenties, when he was old enough to be a father.
Now that so many years have passed, he is at least a middle-aged man.
How old does Yao Guijun look?
He is older than the average teenager, but we can't equate him with Ye Jingxiu, right?
"Could it be a disguise?"
Mo Yan came over with snacks and heard the conversation between his master and Zuo Xiang, and couldn't help but speak.
"There is a disguise technique in the martial arts world that can change a person's appearance. There is even a bone-shrinking technique that can change a person's skeleton shape, making it impossible to tell their true appearance."
Hearing this, Yan Qingping was stunned. Disguise?
Di Ran's gaze also fell on her: Isn't this your forte?
Receiving his friend's gaze, Yan Qingping touched his nose and muttered inwardly: Isn't it familiar? She uses the disguise technique very often.
