The Minister of the Central Secretariat was speechless for a long time. He just felt that the old emperor was just being stubborn, otherwise he would not have been in such a hurry to leave the palace to go to the Duke Ping's Mansion to look for someone.

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Have you known the Duke's attitude for a long time? I think that the Duke may have been selfish and therefore has not reported it to Your Majesty."

After all, the queen is a member of the Xie family. The Xie family still has some resentment about the assassination attempt by Tao. Su Juan is the legitimate niece of the Xie family. It is very likely that the matter was concealed for this reason.

He even suspected that the queen had known about it for a long time.

The old emperor waved his hands repeatedly, "Liu Qing, please check it carefully. The queen is dignified. I think her behavior is so bad that she even stayed in a brothel at night. It's really not like a queen."

After hesitating for a while, the Minister of the Central Secretariat reminded him, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when you were still a prince before you ascended the throne, you often followed many people from the noble families in the capital to visit brothels, saying that you wanted to broaden your horizons."

This Su Juan is not as dignified as the Queen, but she is very much like you. When she was young, she loved to go out all day to broaden her horizons.

This is something that needs to be said to be fair.

Old emperor: “.” Nonsense.

"Investigate for me again, investigate those midwives and everyone in the Su Mansion, especially Su Juan's father, investigate thoroughly for me!"

When the old emperor mentioned this person, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Also, find out where Le An is buried."

He didn't feel anything before, but now, when he thought about how his daughter had been treated unfairly in the Su family, and how his granddaughter was not treated well, he became very angry. He even wanted to issue an imperial decree to execute the entire Su family.

He restrained himself, thinking that even if his daughter was no longer alive, he had to take her back.

In fact, the matter was already clear, but the emperor was adamant and insisted on getting to the bottom of it, so the Minister of the Central Secretariat had no choice but to agree, "Yes, I will definitely investigate it for Your Majesty."

He took a step forward, staring at the jade pendant in the old emperor's hand, and his eyes indicated that it was time to return the jade pendant.

The old emperor turned a deaf ear to it.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat had no choice but to speak, "Your Majesty, the jade pendant was borrowed by my daughter from Su Juan, and I must return it."

The old emperor put the jade pendant away and said sternly, "This item is a token of love between me and the queen. Now that it has been found, how can I give it back?"

Zhongshu Ling: “.”

Judging from the old emperor's look, he was obviously not going to return it. He wanted to say something else but was interrupted by the old emperor.

"Mr. Liu, it's getting late. You'd better go back early. The palace gates are locked. I'll ask someone to take you out." The old emperor said as he drove people away.

The Zhongshu Ling had no choice. He was the emperor, and what he said was the truth. He was a minister, and he couldn't just rush up and rob.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

From the time he came out of the palace to the time he got on the carriage, the Minister of the Chancellery held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but spit and curse: How shameless!

The next day, Su Juan learned from Liu Miaoqing that the Minister of the Central Secretariat did not take the jade pendant back and it was kept by the old emperor. Su Juan was not surprised at all.

Liu Miaoqing's face was full of apologies. "Ajuan, I'm sorry. Father didn't expect His Majesty to keep the jade pendant. He asked for it last night, but His Majesty refused to return it, saying that it was a token of love between him and the Queen."

Su Juan yawned while peeling an orange, "It's okay, I expected it."

[Given the old emperor's temper, there is no way he would give back what he has obtained. ]

From the moment she gave the jade pendant to Liu Miaoqing, she never thought that it would ever return to her hands.

[To put it bluntly, if the jade pendant can really be taken back, it would not be a good thing for me. It proves that the old emperor has doubts about my identity and has no intention of recognizing his granddaughter.]

She broke off a slice of orange, put it into Liu Miaoqing's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

Liu Miaoqing nodded, "Sweet."

Su Juan's eyes curved slightly, "Oranges are the sweetest at this time. I heard that they are shipped from the south to the capital. Last night, Song Qianhang sent someone to deliver a whole box. I guess he brought all the ones sent from the palace to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Liu Miaoqing remained silent for a long time, just staring at Su Juan. Song Qianhang was the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple. Someday Su Juan would change her surname to Song and be included in the royal family tree. With Song Qianhang around, perhaps there would be less trouble in the process.

But if they knew about this, I'm afraid some of them would be sad and unable to accept it, while others would be angry.

Su Juan looked at her with a smile, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Liu Miaoqing shook her head. "Nothing. Yesterday you said you were going to Baihua Tower. Did anything interesting happen afterwards?"

Su Juan smiled, "There is something you will never guess. The famous Miss Xianyun from Baihua Tower was actually Song Qianfan's confidante. Not long ago, she was redeemed by Song Qianhang, and is now kept in his house outside."

[I really didn't expect that Song Qianhang would follow Song Qianfan's example and keep a mistress. The key point is that he even stole Song Qianfan's woman.]

[This is really interesting. Just imagine how unhappy Song Qianfan would be if he knew about this.]

Liu Miaoqing was silent for a while, and then stared at Su Juan. She intuitively felt that if A Juan had not divorced at the beginning, what Song Qianhang would have wanted to snatch would probably be more than just the fairy cloud.

Ajuan is smart, especially in work. She always gets things done properly and beautifully. She is also the first to come up with good ideas that others can't think of. But when it comes to relationships, she seems to know nothing.

However, this may not be a bad thing.

One day, when Ajuan regains her identity, I think Song Qianhang will also restrain those inappropriate thoughts.

"Princess!?"

Song Qianfan was shocked, "How come a princess suddenly appeared?"

The emperor has been childless for decades, so how come a daughter suddenly appears at this time?

Yu Ting whispered, "The Minister of State Liu Ze entered the palace last night. The people on duty outside are my people. The news cannot be false."

"I have asked the old people in the palace. Before your majesty ascended the throne, the queen was only a concubine. She did give birth to a daughter, but later, because of the jealousy of the Tao family, they sent someone to assassinate her, so she disappeared."

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he bestowed the title of Le'an on her. The princess's jade certificate is indeed in the Zongzheng Temple. Only the older generation knows the general idea of ​​this matter."

He really couldn't have imagined that a Princess Le'an would suddenly appear.

Song Qianfan's face suddenly turned ugly, "If that's the case."

The position of crown prince is beyond doubt.

Yu Ting said in a deep voice, "There's no need to think so deeply. Princess Le'an has been missing since she was a child. Even if the Zongzheng Temple confirms that there is no doubt about it, she is just a woman, far away from the court, and it is difficult for her to do anything. How can the officials agree to enthrone her as the Crown Princess?"

The people in the court and those old guys are not simple. If you want to keep this position, it is not just about having royal blood.

A woman who did nothing posed no threat to them.

I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern. It's been a while since I asked for votes from you all~
