Capital, Ning Duke Residence, Ning Xu had finished recounting everything he knew, then sipped his tea to clear the taste of alcohol from his mouth, waiting for his second brother's reaction to settle in.
Ning Hui took a while to come back to his senses, stuttering slightly, "You, you mean to say, the Third-rank Scholar is the fifth Prince?"
The news was so shocking it almost scattered his soul!
Ning Xu nodded, "The current fifth Prince is an imposter, there's a decoy in plain sight, but the real one is Rongchuan. This child doesn't look like the Emperor or the Empress. For Rongchuan's safety, and for strategic purposes, they haven't acknowledged each other. That's the situation."
Ning Hui clutched his chest, cursing, "We didn't even know about the fake fifth Prince, you bastard, you didn't send back a single word about this."
