Humph! You almost cost me a great general!

Madam Du said nothing.

Cheating for a title is a crime of insubordination and punishable by beheading. But adultery only requires one and a half years of hard labor (for both men and women), which is half a year less than rape. Even a fool would know which one to choose.

And...

- She is the one who is cuckolded anyway, so what is there to be afraid of.

Kuaiji Marquis was dismissive of the shock of the ministers.

As long as he could save his life, a mere green hat was nothing.

Two hundred years ago, foreign races ruled the Central Plains, China was divided, and dynasties stood out. The emperor of one of the dynasties only trusted eunuchs, so he required people to castrate themselves if they wanted to be officials. Even so, there were people who rushed forward to castrate their penises.

It is said that the entire dynasty had 20,000 more eunuchs at that time.

He was just cuckolded - as long as he knew he didn't wear it, that was enough!

Then, the accumulated momentum was broken by Xu Yanmiao's two sentences.

[Ah? Is this true?]

The college student had no idea what was going on behind this and scratched his cheek in confusion.

[Back then, he stole the throne because he thought the old Marquis of Kuaiji was slow to ask for the title of Crown Prince, but because he was over 30 and had no children, and the other party wanted to make his second brother, who had seven sons, the Crown Prince, so Mrs. Du's baby had to be a son?]

A strange light flashed in the old emperor's eyes.

A panic suddenly arose in the Marquis of Kuaiji's heart.

Then, he saw the other party showing a hearty smile: "Hahaha, Marquis of Kuaiji."

The Marquis of Kuaiji turned pale.

"I sympathize with your situation very much." It would be more convincing if he didn't smile, "In this case, I will give you a son to take care of you until the end of your life. Look, how about your second brother's youngest son, he is still a baby, if he is raised well, I will make him the prince..."

"No!!!" Kuaiji Marquis, regardless of the fact that he was still in the court and still guilty, almost protested with screams.

The Minister of Works, who was quietly eating melons on the side, was stunned and thought that this man was crazy. At this time, he still didn't bow down and refuted the king so loudly?

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites spoke in a low voice: "Looking at him like this, is he stimulated?"

Suddenly a voice interrupted, and even if he suppressed the voice, he couldn't stop the excitement inside: "I don't know what kind of stimulation it is! If it's that... it would be great if you could talk about it!"

The Minister of Works: Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar?

He looked sideways and his heart almost stopped beating: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

After blurting out, he realized that he had said something wrong and shut up in annoyance.

Even if the prince only came to court two or three days out of ten, he, as a minister, should not talk like this.

The prince folded his hands and smiled: "The court has been very interesting recently..." Behind him, three or five prince's servants who wanted to drag him away but didn't dare to force him were so anxious that they were about to cry.

The prince seemed to be completely unaware, and just put his head between the Minister of Works and the Minister of Rites.

"There is no prince here, I just came to talk to someone about this matter."

He was very interested: "You say, is he jealous of his younger brother, jealous that the other party almost took his position as the crown prince, and has always been brooding over it, so he has always been unwilling to kill the fake crown prince and adopt his nephew after the old Kuaiji Marquis passed away and he inherited the title?"

The Minister of Works hesitated.

On the contrary, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was very concerned about the gossip. He took the initiative to move towards the prince and whispered: "I think so too, otherwise why would he let a wild child take the position of the prince."

"Yes, yes, this Marquis of Kuaiji doesn't look like he dares not to kill people!" "

I regret it now, very much. Why didn't I pay more attention to the affairs of the Marquis of Kuaiji's mansion when I was young! At that time, the old Marquis of Kuaiji had not yet appointed a prince!" The Minister of

the Ministry of Rites was very regretful.

Lost a big melon!

The prince sighed with regret: "When I was still in the army, I was not familiar with the old Marquis of Kuaiji..." Then, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, he was extremely excited: "But! Xu Yanmiao must know!"

Xu Yanmiao did know.

He himself was not interested in how the old emperor exterminated the Marquis of Kuaiji, he just wanted to eat melons.

[Wuhu! The defense is broken, the defense is broken! 】

【Oh! No wonder the defense is broken, it turns out that I have never been able to compete with my twin brother since I was a child. 】

——The ancients believed that having many children means more blessings, and twins and multiple births have never been a bad omen. On the contrary, giving birth to twins and multiple births would be said to mean that the parents are blessed and blessed by their ancestors.

——And giving birth to multiple births can also get a reward of rice and silver from the court.

【I can't win in literary talent, nor in martial arts. I rely on my title to eat and wait for death, while my younger brother has climbed to the position of Tongzhi of Jiaxing Prefecture. 】

"How pitiful! Marquis Kuaiji's face is so pale that it has lost all its color."

"Of course! It hits a sore spot after all."

"From the information revealed by Xiao Bai Ze, does it mean that if Wei Jin (Marquis Kuaiji) had not seized the opportunity to let Madam Du give birth to a son when the old Marquis Kuaiji was still alive, the position of the crown prince might not have fallen to him?"

"Oh, the old Marquis Kuaiji attached too much importance to the eldest son. In the end, when he saw that he had a son, he decided to give him a chance, thinking that he could support the Wei family."

The crowd of onlookers: whispering, whispering...

【But it's no wonder. When others get up at five in the morning and study until three in the middle of the night, you are thinking about which clothes are the best-looking and most elegant, so that you can be praised as a "gentleman with a bandit character" when you go out. 】

【When others are busy studying the six arts of a gentleman, not afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer, you are inviting friends to hold banquets, praising each other and promoting each other's reputation. 】

"Your face has turned from white to blue again!!!"

"Wow! Your chest is heaving so badly, will you be angry to death?"

"What did Xu Yanmo say? Broken..."

【Even the number of children you have is not as good as others. The only thing you can compare in life is that you have a title and this twin brother can only be inferior to you because he was born later. 】

【In this case, how could he consider his stepnephew? In his eyes, he is the son of his enemy. Even if he will call him dad in the future, he will never let the other party's son get the title. He even developed PTSD because of this, and he did not consider the children of other brothers and cousins. 】

Officials: "Wow!"

So that's what happened!

Kuaiji Marquis: "That's enough!!!" The crown

prince clapped his hands: "The defense is broken, the defense is broken!"

The old emperor: "..."

The eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, His Highness..."

The old emperor didn't know what expression he should show for a moment, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Let him be."

[Huh! ]

The old emperor suddenly raised his head.

His intuition told him that Xu Yanmiao had found something good!

The other officials thought so too, and they couldn't help but smile.

Although it's not very kind, but... it's really fun to see other people's jokes!

Look at the Kuaiji Marquis, his whole body is shaking, and his defense is seriously broken.

[Wow! ] Xu Yanmiao whistled in his heart, [When I read the gossip before, there was only a sentence "So-and-so was born with six toes", which I just glanced over and didn't associate with it. Tsk tsk, the old Marquis of Kuaiji, the Marquis of Kuaiji, the two younger brothers of the Marquis of Kuaiji, several nephews and nieces, and Xie Luoshui, all have six toes! On the contrary, the fake prince has very normal toes. 】

【Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. Whether it is a boy or a girl, the probability of getting the disease is 50-50. I don’t know if this family is lucky or not, they all got the disease! 】

The Marquis of Kuaiji stared at his feet reflexively, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

It turned out that the biggest flaw was on him.

——The people present didn’t understand what chromosomes and genetics were, but they roughly understood that the Wei family basically had six toes.

Six toes alone cannot completely prove that Xie Luoshui is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Kuaiji, but, if they look similar, and there is a washbasin used by the wife of the Marquis of Kuaiji in the house?

These are enough to convince the people of the world, instead of mistaking them for the emperor being a tyrant who made arbitrary decisions and wrongly accused his ministers.

The old emperor decided to take back his complaints about Xu Yanmiao being a "broken mouth".

How well-behaved and sensible this person is! He knows what it means to share the worries of the emperor!

"Wei Jin." He didn't even call her by her title, "Jinyiwei has already found out..."

He said all the decisive evidence in Xu Yanmiao's mind.

He looked at Xie Luoshui again: "Xie, are you willing to follow the palace people to the back room to take off your shoes and socks?"

Xie Luoshui's mind was already confused by this huge gossip. He stood there in a daze, unable to even remember whether to question or doubt, his mind was blank.

Instead, the fake prince collapsed: "How is it possible! How can I not be a member of the Wei family! Xie Luoshui is the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate! How is it possible!"

Wasn't she a poor girl who could not turn to him for help when he bullied her? Could

n't he do whatever he wanted?

The fake prince suddenly rushed to Madam Du, grabbed her shoulders and shook her: "Mother! Speak, mother, I am the real one! I am!"

His mother slapped him in the face, crisp and loud.

The officials who were watching the show said: "Wu Hu!" It was

such a hard slap, his face was red and swollen, and there were blood marks from the scratches of his fingernails, he was disfigured - it was nailed on the board! This is definitely not her biological son!

Madam Du rushed to Xie Luoshui and coughed twice: "Luoshui... this name is really nice. Luoshui, I am your mother! That damned Wei Jin actually exchanged you for the title - you must have suffered all these years, mother is really heartbroken..."

Xie Luoshui came back to his senses, and in a series of voice bombardments, he looked up at Madam Du in front of him, his face turned unusually pale: "When I was tricked by the prince... no, I was coaxed back home by Wei Min, the lady was very angry at first, thinking that I seduced Wei Min, really... The day when her attitude changed was when I was bathing. Madam ignored the servants’ obstruction and barged in arrogantly… I guess it was at that time that she saw my feet. After that, Madam changed and treated me very well. She said many times that she treated me as her daughter…”

Xie Luoshui stared at Madam Du, and the water in her eyes seemed to be smoldering: “Do you treat me as your daughter, or am I your daughter!”

A cold wind blew by, and Madam Du shivered and hugged her arms. Facing Xie Luoshui’s questioning, she was speechless.

Xie Luoshui asked loudly: “Later, when you wanted to marry the princess, you were afraid that the royal family would find out, so you locked me up. The beast you raised got drunk and [raped] me——”

She didn’t think that this was something that needed to be avoided, and she didn’t think that she needed to be careful to maintain her chastity and self-esteem.

——That is something that only the noble upper class can think about after they have eaten and drunk their fill. When she runs barefoot in the fields, no one will scold her for not respecting herself; when she plants crops in the fields wearing shorts with her arms and legs exposed, no one will shout that she is not chaste.

The girl who has never been disciplined by rules and regulations is like a tree with strong vitality, growing vigorously and wantonly, and always staring stubbornly at anyone who hurts her.

"Madam Du, when I was pregnant, you were so happy. Were you thinking about the title of Marquis of Kuaiji returning to your bloodline? But you also wanted to marry the princess. If you really won the favor of His Majesty, did you plan to wait until the princess became pregnant and gave birth, and then exchange the child again?"

Xie Luoshui should have replied to the emperor's question immediately, but her mind was so confused that she could no longer take all aspects into consideration.

The old emperor didn't care about this.

He was more concerned about... this family of bastards actually dared to covet our Xiangyang? ! They actually wanted to marry the princess? Am I that picky!

Xie Luoshui's words were almost like dropping a bomb among the officials.

Everyone was shocked.

This family is really not afraid of death!

Prime Minister Dou: "...Why are young people getting bolder and bolder nowadays?"

"The last time I saw someone so fearless was when Princess Wanshou's husband said he wanted to cane her."

You are really better than the other.

The nine clans really thank you.

...Oh, maybe the Marquis of Kuaiji is planning to drag the nine clans to death with him, and the main idea is "I don't want to live anymore, what about you?"

The prince continued to walk around slowly with his hands in his pockets. When he came to Prime Minister Dou's side, he heard this sentence and his eyes lit up: "Cane? What cane?"

...

The prince went to Prime Minister Dou's side.

The Minister of Works then said to his friend: "Why did you discuss those...those things with the prince just now? He is the prince! Instead of advising him to make progress, you flatter his superior with your words and actions. How can a minister behave?"

The most important thing is, if the emperor knew that his friend was leading the prince to learn bad things - even if it was obviously the prince's initiative, his father would think that all the mistakes were someone else's fault.

The Minister of Rites was very relieved and waved his hand: "The prince likes to talk about these interesting things, so let him talk about them. They are all unimportant things, so there is no need to be so careful."

He looked in the direction of Xie Luoshui and was a little surprised: "Hey, I thought she wanted an answer, but she followed the palace maid to check her toes after asking."

"What?" The Minister of Works immediately turned around to search: "She really left."

After a while, Xie Luoshui came back again - she didn't mind taking off her shoes in public, but she guessed that the officials in the court would mind, so she went to the inner room.

The palace maid who checked for her saluted the emperor and said: "It is indeed six toes."

The evidence was conclusive, and the Marquis of Kuaiji had no chance to turn over.

Xie Luoshui walked in front of him and stared at him with a pair of eyes.

The Marquis of Kuaiji was impatient: "What's the matter?"

Xie Luoshui admitted that he was a little unwilling. Not towards the Marquis of Kuaiji and Madam Du, but towards the two symbols of "biological father" and "biological mother"... a natural resentment - why do you treat me like this?

"Why didn't you announce to the outside world that you were dragon and phoenix twins?"

The Marquis of Kuaiji heard this and thought it was ridiculous: "Twins must look the same. If they don't look alike, wouldn't it attract attention? Wouldn't it make people have wild thoughts? If people find out that the prince is not my biological son, wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?"

- He didn't know what identical twins or fraternal twins were. He just made a judgment based on his own experience and what he thought was common sense.

"So you're going to kill me?!"

"What else? If I hadn't been a womanizing servant who was treating you with such kindness, and had pushed you and the washbasin into the Luo River without authorization, this wouldn't have happened!"

Kuaiji Hou said this very heartlessly.

Xie Luoshui's pupils shrank slightly.

The guards came over and forced Kuaiji Hou's family out of the palace. Another wave of people were going to be executed in the prison.

Xu Yanmiao poked her head out and saw the girl standing in the light and smoke with an expressionless face and slightly pursed lips. In her eyes, she was at a loss as to what to do after the perfect ending.

[It's really pitiful. ]

[In a short period of time, she had a miscarriage and was imprisoned. She gritted her teeth and filed a complaint, but she didn't expect to suddenly learn about her life experience and find out that her parents were scumbags. Now I am confused about the future again...】

The old emperor suppressed his smile.

I didn't realize that Xu was so sentimental.

【Alas, if only the old emperor could notice how perfect Xie Luoshui's physique was.】

【For a body like this that could ride a horse and run forty miles the next day after a miscarriage, it was still seriously injured and bleeding. First, she beat the Dengwen drum hard, and then she was out of breath when she spoke. Now it's almost half an hour, and she didn't show any signs of physical discomfort...】

【With such great patience and ability to endure pain, she should go to sea! Go to America! Now Daxia's seafaring technology has no problem sailing there. All we need is a map and the right person!】

【There is something called corn over there. It has a high yield and low labor cost. It is the best dry crop, and planting it can also fertilize the fields! The yield of one mu of corn is equivalent to two shi of millet! 】

Officials: "!!!"

Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!

The Minister of Works tightly grasped the arm of the Minister of Rites, his lips trembling slightly: "I don't believe it..."

"I don't believe that pie will fall from the sky."

"Xu Yanmiao is kidding me, right?"

How could such a good thing happen in the world!

If there is such a good thing, why did it appear now! Why did it appear now!

The Minister of Rites' arms were also shaking, his brain was boiling, and he couldn't calm down.

But he still forced himself to tell people: "Find paper and pen, and write it down while your memory is the best now! You must write it down!"

[There is a thing called potato over there, which can be eaten as food. It can be planted in high mountains and old forests, and the yield of one mu is more than ten shi! 】

The prince took a deep breath, his expression turned serious.

Where is America, how to get there, these questions can be fished out of Xu Yanmo's mind sooner or later, now the most urgent task is...

he turned to the prince's servants.

"How many treasure ships can go to sea now, how long will it take to summon helmsmen who have experience in long-distance voyages from all over the country to the capital? Is there enough food in the capital's granary for this long voyage, is it necessary to transfer food from granaries in other places? All these, you must prepare a memorial as quickly as possible and present it to this palace."

"Yes!!"

【There is also a thing called sweet potato over there, which is not afraid of locust plagues. It can regenerate after suffering a locust plague. The yield of one mu is ten shi, and it can also be rotated with wheat and rice! 】

Not afraid of locust plagues? !

The clerk of the Ministry of War almost turned into a screaming chicken. He pinched his thigh tightly to prevent himself from losing his composure.

But! This is a locust plague!

The old emperor stood up, strode to the front of Marquis of Kuaiji and Madam Du, and slapped them with his arm, which directly hit the other party and sent them flying. Blood foam and broken teeth fell to the ground.

When he thought of Xie Luoshui, who was determined by Xu Yanmiao to be the most suitable to go to America, and was almost killed by them, he immediately grabbed him with his arm again, making a loud "bang".

"Poisonous husband and foolish wife!"

The old emperor's eyes turned red with anger.

"You almost destroyed one of my generals!"

After the fight, he turned around and held Xie Luoshui's hand, his eyes full of affection, which made Xie Luoshui's back go cold and he subconsciously took a half step back.

The old emperor's eyes became more affectionate: "Xie Luoshui."

In his eyes, the person in front of him was not a woman, but the word "corn" floated in front of her head, the word "potato" floated in front of her body, and the two legs were not legs. The left one said "sweet potatoes are not afraid of locust plagues", and the right one said "sweet potatoes produce ten dan per mu".
