I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 682 Uncertain

This news sounds absurd at first glance. After all, the current emperor, Zong Lin, has been sitting on the throne for many years. Even if an heir were to be chosen, it would be reasonable to select one of his princes, since there is more than one adult and healthy prince.

It's not going to be the Crown Prince's offspring.

However, Crown Prince Chongwen was of the highest moral standing and was the rightful heir to the throne, unlike the current emperor who succeeded to the throne after the death of the previous emperor.

Not to mention that there are still some court officials who cherish old friendships, the scholars of the entire Great Zhao still speak highly of Crown Prince Chongwen to this day.

Over the years, if it weren't for the fact that the deposed Crown Prince Zong Que was so famous, there would have been quite a few people who supported bringing back Crown Prince Chongwen.

Unfortunately, now that Zong Que has been deposed, the only one with the most support in the court is the Third Prince.

Under such circumstances, the news that Crown Prince Chongwen still had descendants in the world naturally stirred the interest of a large number of people.

There were even former supporters of the original Crown Prince Chongwen who once again proposed to bring him back and bestow titles upon Lin Wuji.

As a result, almost everyone wanted to find Lin Wuji.

However, as the leader of the Salt Gang, Lin Wuji's power was still considerable, even though the gang had suffered a major purge. Several months had passed and no one had been able to find Lin Wuji's whereabouts.

The matter of establishing an heir was also completely shelved.

Lu Yangyang had also wondered about Lin Wuji's identity.

It was she who reminded Sheng Junyi to investigate Lin Wuji's background, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

Lu Yangyang even went to ask Wenren Jing if it was really true.

Wenren Jing's expression was quite interesting at the time, and in the end he just shook his head, unable to make a decision.

According to Wenren Jing, when she first met Crown Prince Zong Huai, she didn't know his identity. The two had already developed feelings for each other during their time together, and it was only later that she learned Zong Huai was actually the Crown Prince. At that time, they were just one step away from confessing their feelings, but after learning his identity, they naturally also learned that Zong Huai had a fiancée.

Given Wenren Jing's personality, no matter how much she liked Zong Huai, she wouldn't engage in an ambiguous relationship with him knowing he had a fiancée. Therefore, she decisively sought an opportunity to sever this unclear relationship. However, what she didn't expect was that Zong Huai's fiancée was actually their good friend Yan Chengyue. Yan Chengyue had already seen through Zong Huai's feelings and had openly discussed it with Wenren Jing. She said she had no romantic feelings for Zong Huai, and the reason they maintained their engagement was because a royal engagement, especially one involving the crown prince, wasn't easily dissolved and required a suitable opportunity.

Rather than becoming Zong Huai's crown princess, Yan Chengyue preferred to pursue her own career. This impressed Wenren Jing, and their relationship progressed further. However, they agreed that Wenren Jing would not take anything further with Zong Huai until the engagement between Zong Huai and Yan Chengyue was completely dissolved.

When Wenren Jing and Zong Huai finally fell in love, it was after Zong Huai went north as a hostage. At that time, Yan Chengyue had already married Zong Lin. They went through many hardships to see Zong Huai, and their long-suppressed feelings could no longer be contained. However, their love ended in a breakup.

The two ultimately failed to reach an agreement, and after a night of pleasure, they went their separate ways.

Wenren Jing has a carefree personality; he can let go of what he's taken for granted and has no intention of remaining faithful to one person forever. When they separate, they separate.

Therefore, Wenren Jing did not know whether Zong Huai had other women and children besides her. Her brief meeting with Zong Huai was not to ask about this.

Therefore, Wenren Jing was not certain whether Lin Wuji was actually the son of Crown Prince Zong Huai.

As a hostage in Northern Yan, anything could happen to Zong Huai, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. As a hostage, he originally had no choice.

Moreover, Lin Wuji seems to have some Northern Yan blood, which makes his already mysterious background even more credible.

Not to mention Lu Yangyang, even the people in the capital probably think so.

However, Lu Yangyang had no way of knowing whether it was true or false, and such important news could not be explained by a letter.

Therefore, after struggling with the matter for a few days, Lu Yangyang put it aside.

In the past few months, Rong Xin's health has improved a lot, and her mental state has basically returned to normal.

There's something that Lu Yangyang has been struggling with for a while now, and it's time to make a decision.
