The Emperor Dongqi at that time was very filial to Ancestor Rong Zhen and would seek her advice on everything.
Rong Zhen particularly likes King Zhan, and she also said that King Zhan would be a good emperor.
It’s just that the War King is too infatuated and he is afraid that he will suffer in the future because of love.
Originally, the position of the crown prince must have belonged to the War King, and the late emperor also knew that Ancestor Rong Zhen favored the War King.
However, before the late emperor died, the incident between Prince Zhan and Qin Wan occurred. Prince Zhan was disheartened and had no intention of taking the throne.
He handed over the throne to his brother who had been with him at the time.
The War King recounted these things in the palace of the ancestor Rong Zhen.
Su Qi saw the portrait of Rong Zhen Patriarch and had a feeling that this Patriarch might be from the same hometown. However, there were no modern things, just some modern sales methods.
There is also the cultivation of crops.
Compared to Su Qi who relies on cheating with her golden finger, I always feel that this old ancestor Rong Zhen relies entirely on herself.
Su Qi lowered her head in thought when she suddenly caught sight of a bright yellow garment embroidered with dragons. As she looked up the garment, she saw a man in his fifties.
He has a dignified look on his face, somewhat similar to Gu Beiheng.
There was a hint of shrewdness and calculation in his eyes, which made Su Qi dislike it.
Not as comfortable as the War King.
"Mo Yuan, look, it's been more than ten years since we went to Tianshan. How come a son appeared out of nowhere?" The emperor's originally majestic expression instantly changed to one of brotherly affection, and he took the initiative to walk over.
Then he looked at Gu Beiheng, his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Royal brother, this is my son. My son with Qin Wan." The War King did not respond to the emperor's words. He only explained Gu Beiheng's identity and that he would give him the Royal Jade Butterfly.
To prove his identity.
The emperor's eyes flickered, he glanced at Gu Beiheng and said with a smile, "Of course I have to go to Yudie. But how do you prove that you are my Dongqi's bloodline?"
He ignored Gu Beiheng's appearance and also ignored the unique mark on his shoulder that the War King mentioned.
"As the Emperor of Dongqi, I naturally have to live up to the legacy laid by our ancestors. I must never hand over the property to irrelevant people." The emperor spoke very bluntly, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Gu Beiheng.
Su Qi rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Is Long Xuancheng of the Dongqi royal family?"
The emperor was stunned, as if he had not expected that a peasant woman would dare to question him like this.
He frowned and said unhappily, "Long Xuancheng is the prince who married the Jade Butterfly of the Dongqi Imperial Family, so he naturally has the approval of the Imperial Family."
"So it has nothing to do with bloodline, as long as someone recognizes it." Su Qi pretended to be enlightened. "The Dongqi royal family probably doesn't have many biological children. Otherwise, how could they ignore bloodline?"
Gu Beiheng pressed his fist against his nose and chuckled, watching Su Qi make the emperor so angry that he was fuming.
"You are such a rude woman, you are talking nonsense!" the eunuch leader shouted, "Kneel down and beg for mercy."
The War King kicked him. "Get out."
The emperor didn't expect that Prince Zhan would not give him face. With a gloomy look on his face, he didn't want Gu Beiheng to get Yudie at all.
"Why are you so anxious? I heard that eunuchs are the worst kind of people. They like to have affairs with concubines and cuckold the emperor." Su Qiqiao laughed, "Oh, Your Majesty, please spare me. I deserve a beating. Why did you bring up the story in the book I read: 'Eunuchs Enjoy the Harem, the Emperor Strives to Protect the Country'?"
After saying this, he glanced at the War King with a look of guilt.
The War King was completely bewildered. Who was so bold as to speak so much nonsense? He lovingly scolded her, "Where did you hear such gossip, kid?"
"Father, I bought this book in a bookstore when I first arrived in Dongqi. They said that someone wrote it and sold it. You don't know how popular this book is." Su Qi stole a glance at the emperor's gloomy face and felt more relieved.
The War King only heard Su Qi calling him father, and immediately felt that this was the most pleasant word.
The daughter-in-law has already called him father, so how far is the son’s voice from now?
The War King smiled kindly and stroked his beard.
He blamed Su Qi with his mouth, but a smile was on his face. "You kid, why are you reading such messed up books?"
"Bookstores should ban these messed-up books."
"Royal brother. I don't care what Beiheng's background is. I believe he is my son. From now on, everything in my Zhan Palace will be inherited by Gu Beiheng. Anyone who dares to touch him is against me, Long Moyuan."
"I've closed my eyes for so many years, it's time for me to open them." He laughed heartily, "I only speak like this because I'm close to my brother."
The emperor was filled with rage, thinking of the War King's army, but he had to suppress his anger.
The army under his command is no match for the army under the War King.
I was thinking of finding a way to kill Gu Beiheng later.
It seems that the experiments there need to be accelerated.
"Let's not talk about this for now. You should go see your mother as soon as possible. She will be very happy to know that you have found her son."
"good."
Prince Zhan asked Gu Beiheng and Su Qi to return to Prince Zhan's Mansion first. He went to Shoukang Palace to see the Queen Mother first.
Gu Beiheng asked quietly, "Qiqi and I don't have to go?"
The War King's face was as cold as ice. "No. The old woman doesn't consider me her son."
King Zhan ordered Chi Feng to escort Gu Beiheng and Su Qi out of the palace.
He asked the emperor to accompany him to Shoukang Palace, leaving the emperor no time to give any orders.
He was dragged away by the War King.
Chi Feng escorted Gu Beiheng and Su Qi to the palace gate. He clasped his fists and said, "Master, Madam, the palace's carriage will take you back. I will wait for the prince together."
"You go ahead."
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi did not return to the palace immediately.
The two changed into casual clothes and went to the restaurant opened by Yue Jiushao. Someone sent a message to Yue Jiushao to come out and meet him. Yue Jiushao brought Jinfeng and Jifeng to the restaurant.
After a few words, Yingyi delivered a secret letter.
Gu Beiheng's expression became solemn after he opened it.
Su Qi asked him anxiously what was wrong?
Gu Beiheng handed the secret letter to Su Qi, who immediately knew the situation was serious. If only a few lepers were to emerge, Dongqi and the surrounding countries would soon be infected.
She folded the secret letter, and her mind flashed back to the escaped leader of the Tianli Sect and the elusive Gu Nanchen. For some reason, she felt that there was a connection between the two.
"Beiheng. Do you still remember Tianli Sect?"
"I remember, but he disappeared and I never heard from him again." Gu Beiheng suddenly had an idea. "You mean there's a connection between the two?"
"According to my intuition, there's also the monk that Old Prince Rongshan of Jinyang Prefecture is friends with. It seems like there's an invisible thread connecting these unrelated people."
Gu Beiheng instructed the void, "Tianyi, send someone to discuss this with Yingyi. Go to the scene and conduct a thorough investigation. No one can be allowed to leave. All those involved must be placed under guard. Anyone causing trouble must be executed without mercy."
Long Tianyi heard a "Yes" from the void.
Yingyi walked out after hearing that.
Yue Jiushao noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice what was going on. What preparations did he need to make?
Gu Beiheng only told him not to panic and to stock up on food and herbs appropriately.
He couldn't guarantee that there were no other places, so he could only take some appropriate protective measures.
Thinking of the Gu Family Army, Yunzhou City, and those in Jinyang Prefecture, Gu Beiheng sent the news to Military Advisor Mo and Li Tianfang, and also wrote letters to Yanling Prefecture and the government office under the jurisdiction of the Gu Family Army.
Let the people in the government office keep a close eye on the people below.
Report any unusual changes immediately.
In Yue Jiushao's restaurant, secret letters were sent out one after another.
Yue Jiushao was also panicked.
Long Tianyi and Yingyi went to take care of things for the time being. Gu Beiheng and Su Qi planned to go back first, so they did not wait for Long Tianyi and Yingyi to come back.
The two men were halfway through their journey in the carriage when they encountered a group of killers.
These people came with great force.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi didn't want to implicate innocent people, so they hid in the space. Then, when others were looking for them, they quietly came out and ran towards a densely populated area.
