"Damn it, I was scared half to death! You pulled this trick?"

"Okay, okay..."

"Isn't it just a mere edict of self-reproach?"

"Here you go!"

Ren Tianye's mood changed from worry to ecstasy, and he was about to set off for the palace when his personal guards announced that Su Jin was requesting an audience.

"Come in."

"Lord Duke, the matter concerning the Empress has been thoroughly investigated, and the evidence has been obtained. She is indeed not the biological daughter of the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan."

As Su Jin spoke, she presented the evidence she had found.

Ren Tianye took it and glanced at it.

The evidence is quite detailed and can be described as irrefutable.

With this evidence, Xiao Mingzhao's position as Empress can be completely stripped away. Moreover, not only will it be stripped away, but it will also deal a heavy blow to all the righteous people under heaven who respect the Xiao family's Great Yu dynasty.

after all……

The person sitting on the throne was not of the Xiao family bloodline.

What's even more infuriating is that the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan was fully aware of this matter, and it was even orchestrated by him!

This news is nothing short of earth-shattering.

After the thunderous crash, Ren Tianye should make a good impression and win over more people's hearts!

but……

Looking at this evidence now, Ren Tianye instantly abandoned the idea of ​​making it public immediately.

After all, in the current situation, Xiao Mingzhao is still the Empress, and she is of greater use to him.

"We'll announce it after we've dealt with Lin Zixiao."

Having already made up his mind, he said to Su Jin, "You must have been working very hard lately to collect this evidence. You look pale. If there's nothing major going on at the Demon Suppression Division, you should take a break."

"If there's anything, let Zhou Ze and Xie Changfeng handle it."

"The Demon Suppression Division is now full of capable people, so you can just take charge of things and don't have to do everything yourself."

Ren Tianye's words stemmed entirely from his concern for his subordinate, which warmed Su Jin's heart and made her almost unable to hold back her tears.

Why is she so devoted to this?

He just wanted to do as much as he could for the Duke, so that when his third sister Su Li's earth-shattering thunder came, he would have more credit to rely on.

Is she willing to go through all that trouble?

But how could she not work so hard?

It took her a while to calm down. She looked up at Ren Tianye's back as he walked heavily toward the palace. Even though Ren Tianye couldn't see her, Su Jin still kowtowed heavily.

Ren Tianye, however, had already rushed to the palace.

Lin Zixiao is probably poisoned by the Tongxin Alliance. Instead of being a decent person, he insists on being a fake one. He must fulfill Lin Zixiao's wishes.

Therefore, Xiao Mingzhao must be woken up.

He could affix his official seal to the edict he wrote himself, but he worried that Lin Zixiao had probably seen Xiao Mingzhao's edicts before and was quite familiar with Xiao Mingzhao's handwriting.

Therefore, what Lin Zixiao needs is Xiao Mingzhao's imperial edict.

Only an edict personally written by Xiao Mingzhao is relatively reliable.

Thinking this, they arrived at the Palace of Longing for One's Beloved.

Xiao Mingzhao played Sleeping Beauty as always, with a rosy complexion and stunning beauty, but she just wouldn't wake up.

"Xiao... how is His Majesty?"

Ren Tianye asked the imperial physician beside him.

This imperial physician was one of their own, someone Su Pengcheng had specifically sought out. Not only was his medical skill top-notch, but he also obeyed Su Pengcheng's every word, and thus, he also obeyed Ren Tianye's every word.

"Your Majesty's condition is not bad after I examined your pulse; your pulse is stable. However... it will not be so easy for you to fully recover."

"I can only wake up occasionally, and then fall asleep again shortly afterward."

"I want her to wake up right now. Can you do that?"

"Yes!" the imperial physician said decisively, "That's right, it's very likely to cause damage to Your Majesty's health, and I can't even say how much damage it might cause."

"Therefore, unless it is an extremely urgent matter, I dare not attempt it."

"Now is the most urgent time!" Ren Tianye's voice was like the clash of swords, "Wake Xiao Mingzhao up for me immediately."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Without wasting words, the imperial physician took out his small medical box, opened it, and took out a row of silver needles. With a flick of his wrist, the silver needles were immediately inserted into Xiao Mingzhao's various acupoints according to his wishes.

One stitch, two stitches, three stitches…

Fifty stitches!

Ren Tianye could see it clearly from the side.

After the acupuncture, Xiao Mingzhao's complexion changed drastically, turning red and white in turns, as if his blood and qi were churning.

It made him a little scared.

They were terrified that the imperial physician would kill Xiao Mingzhao with the needle.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Xiao Mingzhao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly before Ren Tianye could even feel joy.

Immediately...

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, but her eyes remained bright.

Ren Tianye immediately gave the imperial physician a mental thumbs up.

He immediately ordered the imperial physician to remove the silver needles and leave.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

As soon as the imperial physician left, Xiao Mingzhao's eyes immediately fell on Ren Tianye's face.

"Amano, I... I've been dreaming about you a lot lately..."

"I... I just realized that in my heart, the most important person is actually you. Before, whether it was Zhan Shubai, Tuoba Xiangtai, or Xiangxiang, they were all just fleeting moments in my life."

"The one I truly love is you!"

As soon as Xiao Mingzhao opened his mouth, his words were full of tender affection: "I've decided, from now on, I will never test you again. If you're willing, I..."

"I am willing to entrust the Great Yu empire, along with myself, to you!"

"Amano, would you be willing...?"

Before Xiao Mingzhao could finish speaking, Ren Tianye sneered and interrupted, "Forget it. The Great Yu empire you and your father ruled is not even worth mentioning."

"I'd rather take it down myself."

"At least it's safe and sound!"

After a while, Ren Tianye became increasingly impatient.

Having lost the aura of the Empress, Xiao Mingzhao's already poor image in his mind plummeted to the deepest depths.

So, he directly showed Xiao Mingzhao the evidence that Su Jin had found.

"Ha, besides, what does this Great Yu empire have to do with you?"

"Is your surname Xiao?"

"You're not even Xiao Jingyuan's biological son, yet you dare to talk about the Great Yu empire? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"

Ren Tianye originally intended to put pressure on Xiao Mingzhao in this way, so that Xiao Mingzhao would obey him. After all, having lost his royal bloodline, Xiao Mingzhao was like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Unexpectedly...

After seeing the evidence Ren Tianye presented and hearing what Ren Tianye said, Xiao Mingzhao showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, she remained remarkably calm and composed, as if...

This wasn't a big deal for her.

Xiao Mingzhao said, "Does it matter whether I am the late Emperor's biological daughter or not?"

"My late father loved me dearly, and his kindness in raising me over the years has long surpassed the bond of blood. Whether I am of the Xiao family bloodline or not is no longer important to me."
