Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

If you say he didn't value her as the new empress, then he treated her very well, giving her the honor and favor of an empress.

She even doted on her children.

However, while he may have doted on her, he also left her speechless on several occasions regarding the matter of the Crown Prince.

From the time the Crown Prince could speak, she began to intentionally or unintentionally sow discord between him and the Crown Prince, but after so many years, the results have been minimal.

Sometimes, the Empress was so angry she wanted to cry.

She said sadly, "Mingluan will be very sad if she sees that only Ze'er came to pick her up. After all, her favorite brother is not Ze'er, but the Crown Prince."

Just as Emperor Cangxuan was about to say something, someone came to report that the old Marquis Weiyuan's grave had been dug up.

The grave was dug up by the Duke of Zhenguo's family.

The Empress looked surprised, then a hint of secret joy flashed in her eyes.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is likely to incite public outrage this time.

Desecrating someone's ancestral graves is something that cannot be tolerated in any dynasty or era.

Moreover, they dug up the graves of founding heroes. It's truly unacceptable that they would do such a thing just for their own personal grudges over their children's marriages.

Even if His Majesty wanted to protect him, it wouldn't be easy this time. Regardless of the severity, he must be punished, at least to set an example for the world.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has gone too far this time."

The Empress sighed.

Emperor Cangxuan's expression darkened slightly. He stood up and strode out.

The Eastern Palace.

"Your Highness, you're still burning the candle. Do you really have to watch this spectacle?" Sheng Dong and Ji west looked at their prince with disapproval.

This person developed a fever yesterday after returning from Huangjue Temple, and the fever lasted until midnight.

He had just woken up, and his fever hadn't completely subsided, yet he wanted to go out and see what was going on.

Is watching the spectacle really that important?

The prince's cheeks were slightly flushed from the fever. He counted on his fingers, thinking, "There must be some excitement outside today. Have you ever seen someone drowned in a pond?"

Anyway, I've never seen it before, and I'm going to go see it.

Feint to the East & Attack in the West: "..."

Really served!

Sheng Dong said, "Your Highness, we didn't sink him; we didn't."

The crown prince was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why? Has the Earl of Weiyuan changed his mind? Is he planning to accept his cuckoldry?"

"Not exactly," Sheng Dong said, looking conflicted.

Seeing that his prince not only did not give up his desire to go out and see the excitement, but his eyes lit up even more, as if he had smelled a big juicy story.

Sheng Dong sighed, "Well, His Highness's sensitivity to excitement is extraordinary; there's no way to hide it from him."

So he truthfully replied, "The old Marquis Weiyuan's grave has been dug up."

Crown Prince: "!"

Crown Prince: "Quickly, quickly, help me change my clothes. I need to go see Fu'er; she must be waiting for me."

……

On the official road, the luxurious carriage slowly drove up and stopped on the outskirts of the crowd.

The young man driving the car tilted his head and looked over curiously.

He jumped down from the carriage, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "May I ask, gentlemen, what has happened here?"

Then a curious person said, "This is the tomb of the old Marquis Weiyuan, and it has been dug up!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then a deep look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He turned around and said something to the carriage.

Then, the carriage door opened, and a young man dressed in moonlight-white brocade stepped out.

The young man wore a white jade crown, had a white jade and red jewel sword at his waist, and held a folding fan in his hand; he was very elegant.

After getting off the carriage, he glanced at the crowd with interest before turning back and reaching his hand into the carriage.

Everyone was just thinking that this young man must be a prince or nobleman from some family, and it seems that he has returned from his studies abroad.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and reached for the carriage again.

Everyone's eyes widened immediately.

Then, after the boy stretched out his hand, another hand reached out from the carriage.

It was the hand of a fair and delicate young girl.

The girl gently placed her hand on the white-clad boy's hand and stepped out of the carriage with the utmost elegance.

She was a young girl dressed in a jade-pink dress, with her hair styled in a simple bun, and adorned only with a white jade hairpin.

The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and a delicate and lovely face.

Although she was simply dressed, she exuded an air of nobility. She glanced around the crowd and looked at the carriage.

Only then did everyone realize that there were other people inside the carriage.

Then a girl dressed in southern barbarian attire came out. Her expression was rather cold, but a hint of warmth appeared only when she looked at the girl.

The young man who had driven the carriage and the boy in white brocade robes also stepped forward and walked to the two girls' sides. There was no distinction between master and servant among the four of them, and their relationship was very close and harmonious.

But faintly, everyone could sense that the three people, including the southern barbarian girl, were protecting the girl in pink with a caring attitude.

They walked toward the crowd, and after only a few steps, they saw a procession emerge from the direction of the imperial city and head toward them.

"Luan'er, your imperial brother has come to fetch you!"

The second prince was very happy, with a bright smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, the girl in pink also smiled and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Second Imperial Brother!"

After speaking, she glanced at the Second Prince from left to right.

When she didn't see the Crown Prince, she couldn't help but look disappointed. "My brother, the Crown Prince, didn't come?"

The second prince feigned anger and lightly tapped her on the head, saying, "You only care about your Crown Prince brother. Have you forgotten who your real brother is?"

Cang Mingluan glared at him, "Second brother, don't say that. You are all my brothers."

Although the second prince was unwilling, he didn't say anything and fixed his gaze on the other three.

He asked, "Luan'er, are they the friends you mentioned in your letter?"

Mingluan immediately raised her head proudly and pointed at the young man in blue, saying, "Yes, Second Brother, this is Rong Qing, the successor of the Xuanhuang Sect. His medical skills are superb."

He then pointed to the young man in white brocade robes and said, "This is Su Jinyu, the Crown Prince of Dongchen Kingdom."

Finally, she said, "This is the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians, Wulingduo!"

The Second Prince's eyes gleamed as he stepped forward to exchange pleasantries, showing particular enthusiasm towards Su Jinyu and Wu Lingduo.

Rong Qing showed no sign of anything amiss, as if he hadn't noticed the Second Prince's coldness towards him.

"Second brother, I heard that the old Marquis Weiyuan's tomb has been dug up. This is really too much. Let's go take a look."

The second prince also heard the news on his way here, and upon hearing it, he came along as well.

The Second Prince and Princess Mingluan came this way, accompanied by the Crown Prince of Dongchen Kingdom and the successor of Xuanhuang Sect. The crowd parted to make way for them, and curious glances kept sweeping over them.

Ying Hengzhi, standing in the crowd, was overjoyed.

[Host, please begin your performance!]

System 008's tone was excited.

Ying Hengzhi suddenly stepped out of the crowd and knelt down beside the grave with a thud. Looking at the skeleton in the coffin, she endured the strange smell and burst into tears.

"Grandfather, you were a meritorious minister who followed the late emperor, but after your death, some people took revenge for personal reasons, even digging up your grave so that you cannot rest in peace even in death. Zhi'er is heartbroken!"

Ying Hengzhi's performance left everyone speechless.

But in his shock, he saw Ying Hengzhi's face contorted in pain, tears streaming down her face.

"Zhi'er grew up listening to her grandmother tell stories of your deeds. In Zhi'er's heart, you are the person she admires most. During the Battle of Yanzhou, you..."

"You have achieved numerous military exploits, what wrong have you committed that you cannot even rest in peace after death?"

"It's hateful that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is so powerful. I'm useless and can't get justice for you. Although I'm not related to you by blood, I still feel extremely pained and resentful. I'm ashamed of the kindness of the Marquis of Weiyuan's family in raising me!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion? It was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion that dug up the old Marquis Weiyuan's grave?"

Princess Mingluan looked surprised. She quickly stepped forward and helped Ying Hengzhi up.

"Sister-in-law... Zhi'er, get up quickly, tell me what happened?"

Cangmingluan is very gentle with Hengzhi.

Ying Hengzhi stood up, and upon seeing it was her, her face lit up with surprise and delight, "Princess Mingluan..."
