Chapter 572: with translation of chapter title

572. Chapter 572 The True Sixth Prince

When Qiao Sheng and the others rushed back, they were seized before even entering the city.

Qiao Lihua and the others were also all arrested.

Sòng Běitíng was naturally there as well.

Qiao Sheng didn't see Shi Lin and the others, only asking Sòng Běitíng, "What on earth is going on?"

The situation is like this…

Sòng Běitíng told everything he knew, including what he had people investigate.

Qiao Sheng shouted, "This is impossible—Second Sister isn't that kind of person, and Shi Lin isn't either."

Upon hearing that.

Sòng Běitíng pursed his lips and said, "We all believe them, but the present Emperor doesn't."

Qiao Sheng's expression stalled.

How could it be like this?

Could it be that Feng Hui was poisoned?

As soon as Qiao Sheng said that, Sòng Běitíng rejected it: "No, it's not like that; I already had my people investigate, and he's no different from before."

If not that, then what is it?

Shi Jin said at the side, "It's definitely because we were promoted recently, plus San Shu's influence at court, so that bastard Feng Hui worries that high achievement will threaten the throne..."

Shi Ren didn't think it was like that.

"If that were really the case, he could find a way not to promote us."

Soon.

The verdict came down.

Shi Lin was sentenced to immediate execution, Qiao Sheng and the others were exiled three thousand li, not permitted to return without summons.

"Mom, is Dad going to die?"

Sanbao burst into tears, wailing.

Qiao Sheng picked up Sanbao: "No, it won't happen..."

Sòng Běitíng hesitated, then still contacted his older brothers.

They now need their help.

That's exactly why.

Sòng Běitíng exposed their Bei Lou.

After Qiao Sheng found out, he only asked him one question: whether his feelings for Qiao Lanhua were sincere; once confirmed sincere, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

Although the Empress and her faction were also guarding against them, they underestimated the strength of Bei Lou and also underestimated Qiao Sheng and the others.

Song Bei Cheng and his group not only rescued Qiao Sheng and the others, but also controlled all the soldiers in the Imperial Capital, because they followed Qiao Sheng's prescription and put something in the soldiers' drinking water.

As soon as they gained freedom.

Qiao Sheng and the others rushed straight to the palace to find Feng Hui.

Feng Hui had already fainted; they splashed water on him before he woke.

As soon as he woke.

Shi Lin then grabbed him by the collar: "Why did you do this? Why? What have your mother and the Empress done to deserve this? You're so ruthless, wanting their lives..."

Feng Hui suddenly coughed.

"You, you listen to my explanation..."

Shi Lin gave him a chance.

At that moment, he realized Feng Hui was not the biological son of his own sister; Xiao Shitou was.

The Empress had long planned for this to prevent such a day.

"You..."

Shi Lin wanted to beat him.

Feng Hui grabbed him: "The Empress and the others, they're not dead..."

He had them given poisoned wine, but then had the medicine swapped, so they were only feigning death, not really dead.

Nowadays.

They had long been saved by the people guarding the mass graves outside the city.

Shi Lin released him: "You should be glad you didn't do that, otherwise you'd wish you were dead."

After discussing it.

Shi Lin welcomed Shi Qing and the others back, then in front of everyone confronted the Empress.

The Empress's people have already been controlled by them, so now they can't do anything about them.

Other officials, upon hearing this, were shocked beyond belief, unable to believe the Empress would actually do such a thing.

Upon looking again at Xiao Shitou.

Indeed, Xiao Shitou looks even more like their child than Feng Hui does.

Xiao Shitou stood there stunned, never having dreamed he himself was the true sixth prince.
