In Shen Mingyun's era, there were also countries with royal families, but their technology was advanced, and if a child's life experience was suspected, it could be checked through scientific means, but in their era, there was no such technology, and they could only rely on speculation or observation on the face.

    The crown prince's appearance was more inclined to the queen's, which was why no one never doubted him.

    Thinking about it now, there were very few similarities between the crown prince and Emperor Tiansheng.

    When Luo Shuyu's mind was turning back and forth, Li Mingjin was also in deep thought. He slapped his thigh: "Why do I think what you said makes sense? Now that I think about it carefully, there are many doubtful points about the crown prince."

Luo Shuyu: "What are they?"

    Li Mingjin: "Actually, those man-made rumors back then were not groundless. Although our brothers inherited the appearance of our biological mothers, we can see more or less the shadow of father.”

“ For example, the first brother has a body shape that is very similar to father, and then there is the fourth brother. His face shape is very similar to that of father, and his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to father. On the other hand, the crown prince, it’s true to say that he is somewhat similar to the queen, but he is not completely like her. He is shorter than our brothers, and his appearance is more delicate, and our brothers have wider bones than him."

    Indeed, in terms of body shape, the crown prince was different from the other princes, and the queen herself was quite tall , but the crown prince really didn’t look strong.

    Luo Shuyu: "After such analysis, the crown prince is really different from the other princes. If the emperor is sure that he is his own, then the person who spread the rumors would not have been arrested ten years ago." Because rumor was stopped with wisdom and collapsed in the light of facts, arresting people could make other suspicious of deception.

    Li Mingjin: "Speaking of arresting people, I heard that the queen's momo was gone. When I was a child, I saw that momo who was always with her. The woman even gave me snacks, but I never saw her again.”

Luo Shuyu: "Did it happen ten years ago?"

    Li Mingjin: "Maybe she left the palace, or maybe..." She was secretly executed.

    Luo Shuyu rubbed his arms: "Do you think the emperor knows about this?"

    Li Mingjin looked at him and said, "He must know. Without his permission, who would dare to spread rumors in the palace that the crown prince was not of royal blood." Maybe he did it on purpose. Because, he deliberately wanted to humiliate the Queen and Prime Minister Feng.

    Luo Shuyu regretted: "But in the end he became the crown prince."

    Li Mingjin: "I suddenly remembered that the Empress Dowager ten years ago hadn't started to worship Buddha. At that time, the prime minister often went to the palace to see her. The Feng family's power was bigger than we imagined. If we confronted them, it might be like a fly shaking a tree. "

    Luo Shuyu suddenly said: "Then there must be the Queen dowager and the Feng family’s hands in this matter.”

Li Mingjin: "That's right, the Feng family's hand is stretched too far. If the crown prince is really not a royal blood, then after he ascends the throne, the world may really change hands."

    Luo Shuyu: "If so, how can we shake this giant tree?"

    On the 30th day, the new year eve, they really gained a lot , Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin would not have discovered any doubts if it hadn't been for the first prince's sudden indiscretion.

    Li Mingjin: "Don't worry, let's find out where the servants around the queen have gone, and then we can speculate."

    Luo Shuyu shook Li Mingjin's arm: "The most important thing is to confirm that 'cousin' is dead or alive?"

    Prime Minister Feng sent his daughter and granddaughter to the palace, and he already had power over the world. A person like him must have a plan for his family, and those who destroyed his family status would definitely be dealt with. If the queen really had a scandalous past with her childhood sweetheart, Prime Minister Feng would definitely deal with him cleanly.

    Maybe there really wouldn't be any survivors.

    Unclearness flashed in Li Mingjin's eyes, not only his sons but also his courtiers were coveting his father's position.

    This palace was really a battle between dragons and tigers, surrounded by wolves.

    Guessing that the crown prince's life experience was not easy, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu didn’t make it public, but quietly sent people to investigate.

    This investigation would take some time, but now it was the New Year period, and it was time to relax. It was also feasible to send people to set up a routine. There would always be breakthroughs, such as the eldest brother of the crown princess, the eldest brother-in-law of the crown prince, and a son who ran to Huancai Pavilion if he had nothing to do.

    This Young Master Feng had no other skills, but he was the best for drinking and visiting brothels. This man had a particularly interesting problem when he was drunk, that was, when others asked him a question, he would answer it.

    Li Mingjin sent someone to approach him, and he really got a lot of useful information. Although he couldn't know too much about the queen's affairs back then, he could ask some details. As long as he could connect with the rumors, he would know almost everything.

    He thought it would be difficult to make progress in the investigation of the matter, but in fact, after sending people to investigate, it was actually almost close to the truth.

    When Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu found out, it was already the fifth day of the new year.

    Things had to be investigated, and the year had to pass.

    Today, Li Mingjin was hosting a banquet for his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice who usually took care of him a lot in the Ministry of Justice.

    Even though Li Mingjin came to the Ministry of Justice with a gloomy face everyday, but it was not right to say that he had never done any work, at least his colleagues recognized him, otherwise they would not come to his mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

    Luo Shuyu was quite happy to see them, and he was not ignorant of Li Mingjin's reputation outside, but when the officials who usually worked with him were willing to come to the door, he still felt that Li Mingjin was quite down-to-earth.

    At least, during the time he was in the Ministry of Justice, the officials didn’t treat him too coldly or perfunctorily because of the external evaluations.

    Luo Shuyu arranged for the kitchen to cook delicious food and received them together with Li Mingjin, which was regarded as respect for the officials of the Ministry of Justice.
