The old emperor sat on the dragon throne in deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, after listening to Shen Zhiyi's thoughts, Concubine Zhang Shu asked the old emperor tentatively.
"Your Majesty, how did King Cheng make you angry?"
The old emperor pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh, it's nothing. King Cheng just had an affair with this evil Taoist priest in an attempt to make an old man like me less of an eyesore."
Concubine Zhang Shu’s eyes widened, and what the voice said was exactly the same.
She got angry on the spot, rolled up her sleeves and slapped King Cheng on the forehead.
"What has your mother taught you all these years? If you think about something that is not yours, it is wrong."
Concubine Zhang Shu seemed to find this slap not enough, and said to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, it is all because of my failure to discipline him. Please punish me according to the family rules."
[Wow, this Concubine Zhang has so many tricks up her sleeve. She simply used the two words "family rules" to define this matter as a family affair.]
[Many things in this world change a little when they are related to family affairs. ]
[For example, the crime of intentional injury becomes domestic violence. ]
[For example, the crime of murdering the emperor became the crime of not educating children well. ]
[I admire you so much. You are indeed Concubine Zhang Shu, who was able to manage the old emperor's messy harem in such an orderly manner in just a few days.]
Concubine Zhang closed her eyes and cursed in her heart.
Whose voice is this? Why does it sound so familiar?
The old emperor looked at Concubine Zhang, who had been with him for most of her life without enjoying much happiness, and whose only child in this life was the prince's child, so he prepared to make a big deal out of a small matter.
At worst, we can do as Concubine Zhang Shufei originally thought and choose a place far away to throw the child there.
[However, the premise of this family law is that the king must be the old emperor's child. ]
The old emperor opened his mouth and then closed it immediately.
He looked at Concubine Zhang in disbelief.
No, you would cheat on me?
The old emperor didn't believe it.
In the entire harem, the two women he trusted the most were the Queen and Concubine Zhang Shufei.
These two women have followed him all the way to the present.
When Concubine Zhang Shu was looked at by the old emperor, her mouth quickly moved faster than her brain.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at me with? Do you think I'm cheating on you?"
The old emperor pursed his lips, obviously thinking so.
Concubine Zhang Shu suddenly became furious.
He stopped kneeling and stood up, cursing loudly.
"Your Majesty, listen to me. If I cheat on you, I will die a miserable death today."
"You are so disappointing. If I hadn't blocked that arrow for you, you would still be so lively and energetic."
The old emperor stepped down from the dragon throne feeling guilty and ashamed.
"Don't cry, I didn't say anything."
"You didn't say it, but don't think I don't know what your face means."
The old emperor wondered in his heart whether Shen Zhiyi had made a mistake.
There was no way Concubine Zhang would do anything to let him down.
[Why are these two suddenly arguing? They are still arguing about whether they are green or not. ]
Old Emperor: It’s all because of you!
[The old emperor really wronged Concubine Zhang Shu. He didn't wrong you. In addition, you injured your body and made it unsuitable for you to have children in this life. This is a pain in Concubine Zhang Shu's heart.]
The old emperor knew all this, so he wanted to just brush the matter off.
But who would have thought that Shen Zhiyi would suddenly say that the child was not his.
[Although Concubine Zhang Shu did not cheat on you, Prince Cheng is definitely not your child.]
The old emperor turned and looked at Concubine Zhang Shufei again.
Concubine Zhang Shu blinked and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, you can't hear it, can you?"
"Nonsense, don't tell anyone about this."
“Ohhhh.”
Concubine Zhang Shu quickly covered her mouth, then changed her mind and pointed at the old emperor and said, "So you think I cheated on you?"
The old emperor spread his hands and said, "Then tell me, why is this King Cheng not my child? I am also confused. I clearly saw you giving birth to him, so how come the child is not mine?"
Concubine Zhang Shu's eyes suddenly looked guilty and dim.
[The old emperor must have been confused as to why the child he saw being born was not his own.]
Old Emperor: I really can’t figure it out, so Shen Zhiyi, please tell me quickly!
[Not long after Concubine Zhang Shu gave birth to the child, the old emperor rushed out, and the child actually died.]
[Due to physical reasons, there was only one chance to conceive in this lifetime. Concubine Zhang Shu could not accept the death of her child. At this time, a woman dressed in the clothes of a palace maid from the previous dynasty came to Concubine Zhang Shu holding a child.]
The previous dynasty? A palace maid?
The old emperor's eyelids jumped, and he asked Concubine Zhang Shu in a low voice: "It's such a big thing that you didn't tell me, why did you pick up children randomly? Is it okay to pick them up!!!"
Concubine Zhang pouted aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I was in a mess at the time. When I saw the child appear in front of me, I felt that it was the hope given to me by God, so I kept the child from you."
"Your Majesty, this is just a child of a palace maid. You can't be prejudiced against her just because she was a palace maid in the previous dynasty."
[Empress Zhang Shu doesn't even know how to use her brain. How could the child held by the palace maid of the previous dynasty be an ordinary child?]
[No way, no way, Concubine Zhang Shu, you don’t think that child is really the maid’s from the previous dynasty, do you? ]
Concubine Zhang opened her innocent eyes in confusion.
Isn’t it?
Old Emperor: That’s the end!
[In order to prevent the old emperor from getting rid of the problem completely, he did not even spare the children. Unexpectedly, he missed the youngest child of the previous emperor. He was just born and was taken out of the palace a long time ago.]
[I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, the old emperor would have to support him for so many years. ]
Concubine Zhang fell to her knees with a thump.
King Cheng took a look and knew that he might have a hard time this time.
He silently moved his knees and moved towards Concubine Zhang Shufei.
"mother."
"Don't call me, I want to be quiet for a while."
Concubine Zhang Shu felt that her mind was extremely confused at the moment.
She grabbed the old emperor's clothes: "Your Majesty, I..."
"You don't have to say it, I understand it all."
The old emperor looked at King Cheng and sat back on the dragon throne.
"Old Third, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Lingnan West Road is a good place."
"Father."
King Cheng panicked and tried to grab his mother again, but she didn't even look at him.
"Oh, by the way, I have a good friend who died young, that Wu Chengdao, and he didn't even have a child. I was deeply saddened to hear that he had no descendants. Third brother, you will be adopted by Wu Chengdao from now on."
[Wu Chengdao? He was a bandit in Dafeng Mountain and followed the old emperor, but he always opposed the old emperor? Old emperor, when did you become good friends with him? ]
