"But the report said that the survivor of the attack was Dongfang Ruo Cheng." Lan Zhi Xuan said confusedly. "I can't write and read so all such matters were written by Li Tao. So if Li Tao lied to me then I wouldn't know." Dongfang Qingyuan explained flatly.

"You can't read? Are you kidding me? Dongfang Ruo Cheng can be considered a person..." Lan Zhi Xuan's words were cut off. "I am not Dongfang Ruo Cheng and also not part of this Dongfang family." Dongfang Qingyuan explained.

Lan Zhi Xuan looked at Dongfang Qingyuan confusedly. "Get out and stop eavesdropping." Dongfang Qingyuan said flatly. Someone came out and went inside. Lan Zhi Xuan looked at the person and fell silent.

"Lord Yue, why did you come here?" Lan Zhi Xuan asked confusedly. "You are the person who was poisoned by Dongfang Ruo Cheng." Dongfang Qingyuan said flatly. "Are you disappointed that I didn't die after being poisoned by your brother?" Xue Zhengming asked, Lord Yue was joking.

"I don't feel disappointed or anything. I don't even know you. I also know the reason why Dongfang Ruo Cheng went to the border so I and him can be considered strangers." Dongfang Qingyuan said. Xue Zhengming and Lan Zhi Xuan were quite surprised.

Both of them knew this after investigating many things. It was true that Dongfang Ruo Cheng was expelled from the capital because of Xue Zhengming's poisoning but there was another reason, namely the previous King wanted to take control of the Light Army.

"Did Ruo Cheng tell you?" Lan Zhi Xuan asked seriously. "Does he need to tell me? His actions have already told me. Do you think I would want to have a relationship with someone like that?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked back. The two of them were silent.

"Young master, it's time for Li Tao to return. Do you want me to go?" Ruiwen asked. "Tomorrow, you watch Li Tao." Dongfang Qingyuan said looking at Ruiwen. Ruiwen nodded. "You two better go home and pretend I haven't woken up yet." Dongfang Qingyuan said, chasing Xue Zhengming and Lan Zhi Xuan away.

After the three of them left, Dongfang Qingyuan sat quietly for a while before lying down again and fixing the wrinkles on the bed. Li Tao went inside before going out.

"What do you think Dongfang Qingyuan means?" Lord Yue asked looking at Lord Hua, Xue Xingrui

"What do you think Dongfang Qingyuan means?" Lord Yue asked looking at Lord Hua, Xue Xingrui. Xue Xingrui was the nephew of Lord Yue and Emperor Xue. But he was adopted by Emperor Xue. Three years after his parents died.

"I think he's just being honest with us. Besides, why would he pretend to be his younger brother. I once read in the royal library that Marquis Dongfang married Princess Xue Lian and their son who refused to be his successor was crossed out from the family register. The legitimate successor of Marquis Dongfang now is only Dongfang Qingyuan." Xue Xingrui explained, Lord Hua.

"So he chose his grandson over his son. That's why Dongfang Qingyuan said that there was no connection." Xue Zhengming said nodding in understanding.

"The Dongfang family has a written rule that they will not enter politics and will continue to serve in the military. But Dongfang Ming broke that rule. So Dongfang Huanzhe crossed out Dongfang Ming's name from his successor. Dongfang Qingyuan can become the successor because Great-Grandfather recalled Dongfang Huanzhe and ordered Dongfang Huanzhe to take the son of Dongfang Ming as his successor." Xue Xingrui was clear.
