Wei Ting helped him up but did not support him. Emperor Jing Xuan took a few steps back and staggered.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the man on the ground with cold sweat. “Is he a human or a ghost?”

If it was a ghost, it was a malicious ghost who had come to seek his life.

Wei Ting took in Emperor Jing Xuan’s expression without showing it. “It’s a person.”

Eunuch Fu carefully walked forward and checked the other party’s breathing with his hand. He whispered, “Your Majesty, he’s breathing.”

Emperor Jing Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and restrained his loss of composure. He regained his high and mighty dragon might. “My people saw him buried with their own eyes. Why is he still alive?”

“It was my grandfather… who saved him.”

Emperor Jing Xuan was furious.

“I didn’t know about it beforehand. I only unveiled this matter step by step recently after investigating the case of the palace.”

A trace of suspicion flashed across Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyes.

It was not that he did not believe that Lord Wu An had saved King Nanyang, but that Wei Ting did not know that King Nanyang was still alive.

“Continue! I want to hear what story you plan to make up for me!”

Wei Ting did not cry out for his injustice. “King Nanyang has the secret decree of the late Emperor. Grandfather is also loyal to the decree.”

“What a good decree! I’m the emperor of the Great Zhou! The secret decree in his hand is fake!” “Your Majesty, King Nanyang’s secret decree is true.”

‘Wei Ting!”

“Your Majesty, please hear me out. The late Emperor issued a total of three imperial decrees back then. The first was a secret decree passed down to the King of Nanyang, and the second was an imperial decree sent to Qin Canglan to confer you as the new emperor.”

“Why did the late emperor do this?”

Wei Ting said, “Because the late Emperor discovered King Nanyang’s true colors; his eldest son is not as pure and harmless as he imagined. If he ascends the throne, he will definitely become a tyrant, so he switched to His Majesty. He was also worried that there would be trouble, so he left a will before he passed away and demoted King Nanyang to a commoner. If he doesn’t behave himself, he will be killed!”

Emperor Jing Xuan was completely stunned.

“He… he was the eldest son that the late emperor doted on the most… he…”

Wei Ting had a pained expression. “It’s precisely because he doted on him that he had been kept in the dark by him and couldn’t see his true colors earlier.

Your Majesty must have seen through it long ago.”

Emperor Jing Xuan’s eyes flashed. “Of course, I can tell.”

It would be strange if he could tell. He killed everyone in the Nanyang Prince’s Mansion only because he was the greatest threat to his throne.

However, this was not important. It was fine as long as he could accept it.

Wei Ting continued, “I was also investigating Helian Ye’s case and accidentally overheard his conversation with Helian Ye. Only then did I know that he was the one behind MO Guiyuan back then. He was also the culprit who killed my grandfather and father!”

“What?” Emperor Jing Xuan thought that the previous news was already shocking enough. He did not expect there to be something even more terrifying.

Wei Ting clenched his fists and said with cold eyes, “Four years ago, because my grandfather accidentally learned the content of the will, he killed my grandfather, my father and brothers to silence them… If not for the fact that I was in the capital at that time and didn’t know about his existence and the content of the will, with the Wei family’s trust in him, I would have been defenseless against him even if he suddenly appeared in front of me alive. It would have been easy for him to kill me!”

At this point, most of Emperor Jing Xuan’s doubts about Wei Ting were eliminated. Wei Ting really did not know. Otherwise, it was indeed impossible for him to live until now.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Wei Ting deeply. “If you tell me this, can I

understand it as… you surrendering to me?”

Wei Ting gritted his teeth and said, “The hatred of killing my father and brothers is irreconcilable!”

The enemy of an enemy was a friend. This was much more reliable than coveting power. Emperor Jing Xuan understood Wei Ting’s character. If all of this was true, the Wei family would definitely not be loyal to King Nanyang!

Emperor Jing Xuan revealed a wise smile. “I… believe you. The fact that you can bring him to me is enough to prove your loyalty.”

Wei Ting suddenly knelt on one knee and presented something with both hands.

Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. “This is—”

Wei Ting said, “The Commander’s Seal was left behind by my grandfather. I went to Qingzhou for it. King Nanyang has always wanted it. Another reason for him not having killed me is probably to obtain this army.”

Wei Ting told him everything.

Actually, Xiao Zhonghua had long reminded Su Xiaoxiao that Emperor Jing Xuan had found out Wei Ting’s motive for going to Qingzhou, Wei Ting had not taken the initiative to confess because he was waiting for a suitable opportunity.

The appearance of King Nanyang happened to be the best opportunity.

If Emperor Jing Xuan had a trace of doubt previously, he was completely moved by Wei Ting now.

After so many years, he finally tamed this unruly wild horse.

Indeed, it was all thanks to King Nanyang courting death and not killing the Wei family cleanly. In the end, he pushed Wei Ting to his side.

He was the Son of Heaven. Even the heavens were helping him.

This time, Emperor Jing Xuan helped Wei Ting up. “I can feel your loyalty. I will return everything the Wei family lost to you!”

In the past, the Wei family was the Wei family of the previous Emperor and was only loyal to him. From now on, the Wei family was his.

Wei Ting came out of the palace and got into the carriage at the entrance.

Wei Liulang was inside. When he saw him, he hurriedly asked, “Little Seven, how is it?”

Wei Ting handed him something.

Wei Liulang took it and took a look. “The Commander’s Seal? You didn’t hand it over? Didn’t you say that it was no pain, no gain?”

When Wei Ting suggested using the Commander’s Seal to show his “loyalty” to Emperor Jing Xuan, he broke out in cold sweat.

This was the Wei family’s trump card. The Wei family’s military power had long been divided. If they lost this private army, they would really become a ferocious tiger with its teeth pulled out.

Wei Ting said calmly, “I gave it to him. He was the one who returned it to me.”

Wei Liulang was stunned. “Did he really do that?”

Wei Ting smiled faintly. “I want to express my loyalty. He wants to win people over with virtue. If he doesn’t even give me this basic trust, how can he win me over to continue working for him?”

Wei Liulang was enlightened. “So he has to give it no matter what. Little Seven, you calculated that he wouldn’t take the Commander’s Seal!” Wei Ting said, “This is called retreating in order to advance.”

Little Seven was so smart. As expected of the top scholar.

Wei Liulang revealed the gratification of an old father. He thought of something and frowned. “But what if he kills King Nanyang? He doesn’t have to have the name list. The name list is an important bargaining chip to us. It’smanhua

just an icing on the cake for him. It’s fine if he has it, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. Anyway, as long as King Nanyang dies, his throne will be unshakable.

For now, killing King Nanyang to eliminate future trouble is his best strategy.”

Wei Ting took a sip of tea. “He can’t kill him.”

At the Imperial Palace, Emperor Jing Xuan called two imperial experts over who shackled King Nanyang. He instructed the two of them and Eunuch Fu,

“Take him to the water prison and wake him up. If he doesn’t confess before dawn, kill him immediately! Otherwise, there will be trouble!

“In addition, this matter must not be publicized, especially not to the Empress Dowager’s ears.”

Just as he finished speaking, a eunuch’s message came from outside.

“The Empress Dowager has arrived…”
