The moment Song Qianhang asked the question, Prince Jing's smile froze on his face, but quickly returned to normal, with a hint of nervousness still on his face.
He said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? If you are not my son, whose son can you be?"
King Jing was confused. Why would he suddenly ask this? Did he know something?
If he had heard him say this in the past, Song Qianhang would have believed it, but the emotional change in that brief moment made the King of Han's words echo in Song Qianhang's ears again and again.
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes became tense, "Father, am I really the Pei family member who was convicted of treason back then?"
After hearing this, Prince Jing couldn't hold back his smile anymore. His first reaction was to wonder if his wife had let the cat out of the bag. "Your mother was just joking with you. You can't take her words seriously."
Song Qianhang's heart was chilled at the moment. He could not imagine that he was not the son of his father, the king, and his mother. He was not the second son of the Jingwang Mansion.
I am just a person who should have died long ago.
"It seems that what Uncle Han said is true." His face turned pale, his fists were clenched under his sleeves, and he pulled his lips to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all.
Prince Jing's heart skipped a beat and he moved his lips, wanting to explain something to add to what he had just said, but he realized it was useless. After all, he knew his own life experience.
I should have known that one day the secret would be revealed, but I never thought that it would be revealed by the prince who used to be a close friend of Pei Qian.
He still remembers that it was because he pleaded for Pei Lianshan that the King of Han was not taken seriously and was sent to the border, where he stayed for more than ten years.
"Here, let's drink this cup to Lord Liu. We are all colleagues. If there is anything wrong in the future, Lord Liu will give us some advice."
Little did he know that at this moment, Song Qianfan had been standing outside the study for a long time and heard all of this. His face was gloomy and his eyes were chilling. He really didn't expect that his younger brother was actually the son of a traitor.
Song Qianhang's voice trembled, "Please tell me, father, am I surnamed Pei or Song? Did the Pei family really rebel?"
He just wanted a fact. He didn't want to be like Song Qianhang in a muddle, not knowing who he was until he died.
Although he was talking to his colleagues in the court, his attention was actually on Su Juan. Seeing that she had drunk several cups in a row, worry flashed across his eyes.
Prince Jing was silent, and finally shook his head, "Pei Lianshan is the most upright and loyal person I have ever met. Not many people believe that he is plotting a rebellion, and I don't believe it either. However, there is witnesses and physical evidence, and the Pei family's guilt is established, and no one can do anything about it."
Everyone present laughed. They all knew that when they were in the Ministry of Revenue, Su Juan was troubled by Mo Youqian a lot, especially the scolding. Everyone in the court knew it. Otherwise, Mo Youqian was really powerful, why would he still sit here so steadily!
However, at this moment, Mo Youqian only had one word left in his heart: regret. He even wanted to slap himself twice.
It seems that the power in the court is indeed fascinating.
Seeing him like this, King Jing knew that now that his youngest son knew his own life experience, if he didn't tell him, he would find out from other places, which would arouse suspicion from others.
His pale lips moved, but no words came out.
&t;div tentadv>King Jing: "No matter what, father is here, you are always my son."
Duke Ping came by halfway and just looked outside without entering the courtyard. Seeing that Su Juan was not afraid to talk to the ministers in the court, he finally put his mind at ease today.
That’s right. It makes me feel relieved when I see it.
He didn't dare to believe all of the King of Han's words.
You must be nervous, but you didn't seem nervous when I threw all those things on me.
The father and son looked at each other, and he said slowly: "You are indeed not my son. Your biological father was Pei Lianshan, the former commander of the Dingbei Army, and your biological mother was the legitimate daughter of the Rong family in Huaizhou. You also have a younger brother who was born nearly half an hour later than you, but he is no longer alive."
Now, for his own selfish desires, he uses the past to threaten the son of his old friend.
"Your Highness has really kept it a secret from me!"
After Minister Mo drank two glasses of wine, he was still thinking about what he had thought during the day. He glanced at Su Juan from time to time. When it comes to holding grudges, she is the best in the court.
He understood his youngest son's temperament well. He was just afraid that after knowing his own life experience, his youngest son would devote himself to redressing the Pei family and involve himself in it.
He sneered silently, his face full of sarcasm. He never expected that, in their eyes, his own son was not as good as the son of a traitor.
Prince Jing didn't want to force him. He just felt that he needed to figure things out on his own and no one else could help him.
Song Qianhang's thin lips trembled slightly, "Did he really rebel?"
Liu Xuan nodded and smiled, "Master Xu, you are too kind."
Song Qianhang felt particularly heavy-hearted. He had heard about the Pei family in the past, but at that time, no matter who they were from the Pei family, it had nothing to do with him. However, he didn't know that those were his closest relatives.
Many colleagues echoed this, saying, "I really felt relieved when I saw Minister Mei's ugly face today."
Minister Mo: “.” That’s to cultivate you.
"Hahahaha, I saw it too!"
He patted his youngest son on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You should have been named Pei. Your biological mother and father named you Yu'an because they wanted you to have a smooth and peaceful life. Do you understand her intention?"
Su Juan looked at the people in front of her and had different reactions. Many of them were on her list of wise ministers. Today was a good opportunity to make friends with them.
Su Juan blinked. If she knew what would happen, would she not give the pancake to him?
You were quite eloquent when you scolded me in front of my colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue. Why don’t you say anything now?
Su Juan noticed that Minister Mo was acting strangely. She narrowed her eyes and didn't speak to him. She just watched him and found him interesting.
King Jing sighed and helped him up. "Whether your surname is Pei or Song, you are my son now. There is no need to pursue the past."
Scholar Yuan laughed and said, "Of course not. Now that I think about it, one is really too shabby. We should have at least two!"
Minister Mo coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment.
"At that time your mother was pregnant with twins, so I brought you back."
"Back then, the Pei family was implicated in the Second Prince's rebellion, and there was evidence of his guilt, so the entire family was executed, and anyone who spoke up for the Pei family was implicated."
Song Qianhang held King Jing's hand tightly, "Father, I want to know."
After drinking a glass of wine, Yuan Xueshi from the Hanlin Academy could not help but sigh, "Who would have thought that the person next to me is actually the granddaughter of His Majesty!"
Prince Jing hurriedly went to help him up, "What are you doing?"
It would be better to tell him the whole story today.
Song Qianhang lifted his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to his father, who had raised him for more than 20 years and saved his life.
Someone saw that Liu Xuan drank a pot of wine without changing his expression, and said with a smile, "I have never seen Lord Liu drink before, and I thought he could not hold his liquor, but I didn't expect that he can hold liquor quite well."
Normally, he was worried that Su Juan's temper would offend all these people, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.
In the courtyard, Su Juan smiled and said, "Drink, drink, drink more, otherwise when the old emperor's people come later, you will be sorry for the ten big beatings on your buttocks if you don't drink a few more sips."
Everyone's hands froze: "."
He was so busy drinking that he forgot about the beating he received from Prince Xie.
