Shen Cong whispered, "Prince Ning!"
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Shen Fei was incredulous!
Shen Cong said, "Third brother, this is just a dream, only a dream!"
He knew Shen Fei's personality. Rather than insisting that he was Prince Ning's son, it was better to say nothing!
Given his personality, he would definitely be suspicious.
"You might not believe this, but in my dream, I actually saw that you have a twin brother!" Shen Cong continued, "Because your brother suffered an accident at birth and tragically died along with the consort of Prince Ning!"
"Of course, everything that happens in a dream is false and cannot be taken seriously!"
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't linger any longer!"
After that, Shen Cong left Shen Fei's mansion!
Although Shen Cong had left, Shen Fei's heart remained restless.
He didn't believe Shen Cong's dream either!
But he had always suspected if he and Shen Cong were the biological sons of their father.
And now!
Shen Cong's dream had stirred up immense waves in his heart!
Based on his understanding of Shen Cong, if this guy didn't know something, he wouldn't have deliberately told him about his dream!
There was a way to verify if this dream was true!
He then changed into plain clothes and left the mansion, heading straight for the Imperial Mausoleum!
He had heard that the consort of Prince Ning and her son were buried in the Imperial Mausoleum!
It was said that the consort of Prince Ning had suffered severe bleeding during childbirth that year, resulting in the loss of both mother and child!
Prince Ning was heartbroken and had ordered his wife and son to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum!
If Shen Cong was telling the truth!
Then he could use a blood-recognition test to determine if he was Prince Ning's son!
"Dùn!"
Upon arriving at the Imperial Mausoleum, he used the Earth-Evasion Technique and appeared in the tomb chamber of the consort of Prince Ning!
There were restrictions in the Imperial Mausoleum!
Ordinary people could not use any magic here!
But Shen Fei was different; he was the commander of the Imperial Guard!
There was nowhere in the entire Imperial City he couldn't go!
After entering the tomb chamber of the consort of Prince Ning, he found her jade coffin in the main chamber.
Hesitating for a moment, he pushed open the coffin lid!
The next moment, a beautiful woman appeared before his eyes!
Beside her was a chubby infant!
Because the coffin was made of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade, the bodies could be preserved indefinitely within it!
At this moment, Shen Fei's heart began to race!
Although this was the first time he had seen the consort of Prince Ning!
He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity!
He bit the tip of his finger.
A drop of blood fell onto the forehead of the consort of Prince Ning.
Then he formed a hand seal!
Instantly!
The blood was absorbed by the consort of Prince Ning!
At this moment!
Tears instantly streamed from Shen Fei's eyes. He knelt heavily before the coffin, weeping uncontrollably, "This son is unfilial, disturbing the spirit of my mother!"
"Mother, rest assured, this son will definitely uncover the truth of that year and avenge you and my elder brother!"
He kowtowed three times heavily.
Although he didn't know the truth of the matter!
One thing was evident!
King Wu was definitely the mastermind behind it all!
Otherwise, Prince Ning would not have become the son of King Wu!
Recalling King Wu's insidious and cunning methods, and the animosity between him and Prince Ning!
The truth seemed to be surfacing!
He wanted to make them fight each other to the death!
"King Wu, you are devoid of conscience! If I don't flay you alive, I can hardly quell the hatred in my heart!" Shen Fei vowed in his heart!
But he did not let anger cloud his judgment!
"Since elder brother used the dream to reveal the relationship with King Wu, then he must know the inside story!"
"For example, who is he really?"
"Can we shake King Wu if we join forces?"
"I need to have a good talk with elder brother about this matter!"
That very evening!
Shen Fei brought two jars of wine to Shen Cong's commander's mansion!
Shen Cong was not surprised by Shen Fei's appearance; it was all within his expectations!
Not only that, he even had servants prepare a table of rich food and wine!
It was as if the two brothers had arranged to have a meal together!
"Elder brother, let's get straight to the point. Who are you, really?" After three rounds of drinks, Shen Fei suddenly asked.
Shen Cong smiled, "Have you confirmed your identity?"
"I sneaked into the tomb of the consort of Prince Ning and confirmed my lineage," Shen Fei said with a complex expression.
Shen Cong said, "This empire belongs to your Shen family. Although you grew up in King Wu's mansion, you still carry the surname Shen! But I am different; my surname is Lu!"
Shen Fei was greatly shocked, "The surname of the former prime minister?"
Shen Cong's face was full of bitterness, "I have killed countless people in my life, including remnants of the former dynasty!"
"However, I never imagined that I would also be a remnant of the former dynasty!"
"I have killed many of my own people!!!"
Shen Fei gritted his teeth, "I have also killed many of Prince Ning's men!"
Shen Cong said, "Third brother, we grew up together since childhood. Although we have no blood relation, we are as close as brothers!"
"Even though our identities have changed, we have a common enemy!"
"I can tell you responsibly that Chen Nan in Fourth Brother's mansion is my father!"
"Elder brother, are you joking?" Shen Fei was shocked. This news hit him as hard as discovering he wasn't King Wu's son!
Shen Cong said, "To be precise, my father possessed Chen Nan's body!"
Shen Fei cleared his throat, "But your father is also very valiant!"
Shen Cong's face was full of embarrassment!
His father went to Piaoxiang Courtyard and fought against six women, not resting for a whole night, to the point that he was even... envious!
Shen Fei said seriously, "Elder brother, tell me about your plan!"
Shen Cong said, "Help my father gain Fourth Brother's trust, and strive for him to find the whereabouts of the Dan Shu Tie Quan and the death-exempt gold medal. This way, the Jia family can be saved!"
"With the Jia family's influence in the court, combined with Prince Ning's prestige in the martial world, they can completely bring down King Wu!"
Shen Fei, with his meticulous mind, shook his head, "It's not difficult for your father to gain Fourth Brother's trust, but it's as hard as ascending to heaven to gain King Wu's trust!"
"However, I have a way for your father to gain King Wu's trust!"
"But, we have to launch this battle with Fourth Brother in advance!"
"Only in this way can your father achieve merits and gain King Wu's trust!"
"But doing so will put our lives in danger!"
"Uh... I take back what I just said!"
"As long as we pretend not to know each other's identities, King Wu will definitely not kill us!"
Shen Cong gritted his teeth, "As long as we can bring down King Wu, what does it matter if we pay with our lives?"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Fei's eyes, "Then let it be ten days from now. Ten days from now, we will fight Fourth Brother to the death!"
------
On the other side!
Chen Nan entered the inner part of the Immortal Mansion!
He was preparing to open the third level of the Immortal Mansion!
Although he didn't know what treasures were within the third level of the Immortal Mansion!
But if he could open the third level!
He would have more confidence in this world to contend with King Wu!
To put it bluntly, whether he could open the third level of the Immortal Mansion directly determined his life or death!
