Oh! It turns out that the Crown Prince was just talking.

The old emperor took a deep breath and said to the commander of the Jinyiwei: "Go and invite the prince."

"

My father called me?"

The prince shook his head to shake off the shock brought by the words "rebellion against the court and abandonment of the identity of the Crown Prince". He took two steps outside and stood in the middle of the two trains, very conspicuous.

This is nothing at ordinary times, but at this time...

The prince's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

"We will sneak away from the other side..."

Before he finished his order.

He heard Xu Yanmiao's voice: [Huh? Why did the prince stand out? 】

【I guess he was called by the old emperor. The prince is so pitiful. He still doesn't know that his grandson is dead. He loves his daughters so much. He bought rouge and powder for them yesterday. I think he loves his children very much. If he knew...】

【Huh? 】

The prince raised his arms and covered his face.

It's over. Dad, that matter is probably...

【The prince loves his children so much, why didn't he think about getting his son out for so long? It's the uncle who is busy running around. 】

【Let me see...】

【Huh? ! 】

【This grandson, isn't it the prince's wife's child? ! The adopted concubine's child? ! The prince's wife only gave birth to four daughters? ! 】

Xu Yanmiao's eyes widened.

This... No wonder the prince didn't care about the grandson's affairs during this period! Still strolling around eating melons!

It turns out that this prince is just like his father, and only loves the direct bloodline born by his wife!

The ministers were shocked. They were

shocked for a moment.

When His Majesty told the outside world that Your Highness had a son, he was indeed talking about the Crown Princess's child!

The old emperor: "..."

"Pa——"

The old emperor made a gesture exactly the same as the prince.

The arm pressed against the expression on his face...

I really... I shouldn't have called the prince out at this time!

The prince was limping, and quickly turned around and was about to run, 1.6 meters by 1.7 meters, 1.6 meters by 1.7 meters.

Prime Minister Dou grabbed the prince's wrist: "Your Highness!" Afraid of being heard by Xu Yanmiao, he lowered his voice, but his face was very difficult to say: "Grandson! What's going on!"

His own precious granddaughter was supposed to marry the grandson as his wife!

Of course, what he really cares about is not the legitimate or illegitimate bloodline. Anyway, the grandson was adopted by the Crown Princess, so he is indeed the eldest legitimate son, and even has the title of grandson.

But... the Crown Princess is only forty years old! She can still give birth! If she gives birth to a real legitimate son in the future, and the emperor makes that real legitimate son the grandson, what will happen to his granddaughter?

You old Gao family are too much and too unethical. You kept such an important matter secret!

The prince smiled awkwardly: "Uncle... this, actually..."

Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and a group of people surrounded him.

Looking up, he found that they were some officials who were attached to the grandson.

The prince: "..."

The prince: "...ah, this."

None of these officials dared to show any face to the prince, and could only look at him with tears in their tiger eyes.

After all... they are attached to the Crown Prince not for love, but for his stable position! He is the eldest son, the Crown Princess has only one son, and the Crown Prince is not in good health. He can't go to court every few days. If he dies in front... the Crown Prince will inherit the throne directly.

But the current situation...

During the Chu Dynasty, there was a similar thing!

At that time, Emperor Zhenzong of Chu had no children for a long time, so he could only establish a son of the royal family - that is, later Emperor Zhongzong of Chu. As a result, after the three-year-old Emperor Zhongzong of Chu moved into the palace, five years later, hey! Emperor Zhenzong of Chu had a son! He immediately returned Emperor Zhongzong of Chu to his father.

After two or three years, the little prince died, and Emperor Zhenzong of Chu wanted Emperor Zhongzong of Chu back. After another seven or eight years, Chu Zhenzong was lucky enough to have another son, so he sent Chu Zhongzong back again. But he didn't keep this son in the end, and then Chu Zhongzong was taken back again...

The incident between Chu Zhenzong and Chu Zhongzong also left an idiom for future generations - three in and two out. It warns the world to leave a line in everything and not to make a decision in a hurry. When

these officials who depended on Taisun thought of this, their faces turned pale as paper.

By then, the Crown Princess has a real son. Given the importance the old emperor attaches to his legitimate son, I'm afraid he will directly return the current Taisun to his biological mother - what should we do then! We have been firmly tied to Taisun as a group of interests over the years!

The prince wanted to wipe his sweat.

He cursed Xu Yanmiao, the little bastard, in his heart a hundred and eighty times, then maintained his usual playful smile and pretended not to care: "I know what you are worried about - what are you afraid of? If this palace and the Crown Princess were still able to have children, we would have continued to have children after all these years. Moreover, His Majesty has said that he will never repeat the mistakes of Emperor Zhenzong of Chu. Even if there is really a son in the future, as long as Dalang does not make any mistakes, he will still be the Crown Prince, and this will never be changed. His Majesty's words are golden and the imperial edict has conferred the title. If you don't believe me, ask His Majesty."

"Where is His Majesty?"

"Isn't it..." The prince turned his head and found that the sedan chair was no longer at the end of the road.

The prince: "???"

A mouthful of dirty words was stuck in his throat.

＊

"It was so thrilling."

On the way to the Pepper Room, the old emperor thought of the reactions of the officials before, and was very glad that he ran... cough, walked fast.

"The prince will handle this matter well. I believe in the prince's ability."

Yes, that's it!

With this belief, the old emperor walked into the Pepper Room. When he smelled the blood in the room, the corners of his mouth instantly pursed into a straight line. It was not until he saw Empress Dou that he walked over nervously: "Sister, are you okay?"

"It's okay, she has been rescued. At first, she had the idea of ​​committing suicide, but I persuaded her not to."

"Oh. She didn't care. I didn't ask her. I asked sister, are you okay?"

Empress Dou sighed and said, "I'm fine." The

old emperor then pulled her to sit down again and talked about what happened in the court today, from why he came here to the matter of the grandson.

When she heard that the grandson would rather not be the crown prince than live with Qin Guiren, Empress Dou frowned, regardless of whether it was sincere or angry.

She said, "I actually guessed it a little."

"Huh?"

"The reason I had to keep Noble Qin that day, besides sympathizing with her situation, was that I wanted to know whether Taisun could take on the position of Taisun. Before meeting Noble Qin, he was a talented man with both civil and military talents, quick wit, and he treated people properly and acted smartly and prudently. We all regarded him as the third-generation hero."

"Oh, sister, it's not our fault. Who would have thought that we had misjudged him."

"I am glad that the incident with Noble Qin exposed his character in advance..." Empress Dou's tone was very calm: "This child is used to going with the flow, and can only do things that go with the flow. Once something doesn't go his way, he will expose his shortcomings."

The old emperor nodded. Looking at the incident with Noble Qin, it was indeed the case.

Empress Dou sighed again: "Besides, your grandson is just as stubborn. I'm afraid that when Qin Guiren dies, he will hate you after knowing it."

There is a sentence that Empress Dou was embarrassed to say.

- With Wu Lang's emphasis on family affection, he would be very sad if he knew that the grandson he raised hated him because of a woman.

The old emperor raised his eyebrows, very surprised: "Why didn't you tell me at that time?"

"If I told you, you would be even more determined to kill Qin Guiren."

"Who said that!"

"Then what did you think when you heard Qi Ge'er say that he wanted to rebel against the court?"

The old emperor said without hesitation, "I want to see if he has the courage! Sister! I have thought about it. When the time comes, I will just push that Qin something out and chop him off. I want to see if he will rob the execution ground!"

Empress Dou did not speak, but just looked at him quietly.

The old emperor: "..."

The old emperor: "...Okay, if you told me this at that time, I really wouldn't listen."

Not only did he not listen, he was also determined to kill Qin Guiren to see if the Crown Prince really hated him because of this.

This man has a bad temper and is stubborn. He especially likes to go against others. Empress Dou has been through ups and downs with him for decades. How could she not understand?

"Wu Lang." Empress Dou held his hand and said softly: "If you want to try Qi Ge'er, I have no objection. But Qin Guiren... she has died once today. I want her to fake her death and leave the palace." The

old emperor pondered for a moment: "Okay."

After more than a month, he was not so angry anymore.

"I'll find a death row prisoner to pretend to be her and go to the execution ground." You

'll do anything for her, right? You'd better have the courage to rob the execution ground.

*

Taisun was still released from prison with a slap in the face.

——The old emperor gave a special order that he could be released from prison now.

Some of the petty officials who did not have to go to court surrounded him and Ji Sui, flattering them in various ways.

"Your Highness, you have finally come to this fruition after suffering so much! This must be your destiny. Once you pass this destiny, you will be like a

dragon soaring into the sea, never to be disturbed again!" "We are here to welcome your Highness. You have suffered a lot in prison!"

"Although you have suffered, your Highness is still heroic and resolute, and even the dust cannot hide your divine appearance."

"Lord Ji is so smart that he can come up with such a brilliant plan to rescue your Highness."

"That's right. Besides, that woman is shameless. She is playing hard to get with your Highness. She can hide thousands of miles away, but she insists on hiding in the Princess's Mansion. Isn't she just waiting for your Highness to find her and continue the relationship with her?"

"If it weren't for Lord Ji, our sect would be seriously damaged without your Highness."

"Your Majesty was very angry this time. If Lord Ji hadn't acted decisively and let His Majesty know that it was all the fault of that bitch, I'm afraid Your Highness would have been punished."

"Lord Ji is really talented!"

Ji Sui accepted all the compliments, with the corners

of his lips slightly raised. Then, he saw Xu Yanmiao coming out of the court. The other party was obviously thinking about something and didn't see him.

... Unlucky.

But his nephew had been rescued, and Ji Sui thought he could barely see Xu Yanmiao calmly. No matter what Xu Yanmiao was muttering in his heart, he also...

[The circle of nobles is too messy. Wait, let me sort it out... First of all, Taisun is nominally the eldest son and grandson, but in fact he is not born to the Crown Princess, but a bastard registered under the name of the Crown Princess. Ji Sui

was startled at first, and turned his head to look at the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince had just mounted his horse, noticed his line of sight, and tilted his head in confusion: "Uncle?"

He did not look like his sister, but his eyebrows and eyes resembled the crown prince, so he did not think too much about it.

However...

thinking of the past few years of getting along, Ji Sui felt a little awkward and then gave up -

he really treated the other party as his nephew, and his sister had always treated the child as her own over the years, and had used dowry to subsidize him many times. As long as the feelings are there, what does it matter whether they are biological children?

[Well... then... Lord Ji has a missing daughter, but she is not born to his wife, Princess Qinghe.

Ji Sui frowned slightly, but was not particularly worried.

After hiding it for a few days, when he left Beijing...

[In the end, his missing daughter gave birth to an only daughter, who was the noble Qin who had an affair with the emperor's grandson!]

...Who?!

Ji Sui suddenly felt that everything in front of him was spinning, and he staggered to hold on to the prison door pillar beside him. It was as if a very loud slap hit his face, and his mouth seemed to be full of blood.

Xu Yanmiao clapped his hands in his heart and said happily: [Great! Finally figured it out! It turns out that noble Qin has no blood relationship with either the emperor's grandson or the old emperor! I was scared to death! 】

After Xu Yanmo figured it out, he walked happily to go home. Ji Sui was dizzy and wanted to reach out to grab him, but his vision was shaking, and his whole body was shaking. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Wait a minute... Come back... Explain clearly...

At this time, a herald came running: "Your Highness! Miss Qin has been pushed to the execution ground and will be beheaded at three quarters after noon!"

The Crown Prince was stunned: "What? A Zheng is still alive... Ouch!"

He was dragged to the ground and was about to get angry when he saw Ji Sui jumping on the horse and galloping away.

The Crown Prince shouted: "Uncle! Uncle! You can't ride a horse! Be careful! You're going to hit - Uncle! Right! Hey hey hey! Left!"

Ji Sui soon disappeared. The Crown Prince muttered: "What are you doing? So anxious? Even the horse is so anxious that it can ride."

The herald said cautiously: "Your Highness, Miss Qin... Your Highness, don't do anything stupid!"

The Crown Prince took a small step forward and then hesitated and shrank back.

"Well." He closed his eyes in forbearance and said with hatred: "I will be careful."

*

On the attic next to the execution ground, the old emperor sat in front of the window with his horse and sword, and said gloomily: "I want to see if this traitor grandson will come!" On

the execution ground, the executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the sword. The wine spilled and the blade was clear.

A woman with black hair covering her face bowed her head and knelt on the execution ground.

The sword was about to fall.

From afar, the sound of horse hooves came quickly.

The sword was raised high, reflecting the sunlight, and a figure galloping on a horse appeared on the street.

A male voice with a broken voice in shock rang out: "Spare his life!!!" The

old emperor stood up with a sullen face, grabbed the sword lying on the table, and the murderous aura was overflowing.

“Ni…”

Ji Sui rushed out and hugged the girl, looking like he had found what he had lost: “Nannan! I’m your grandpa!”

The old emperor: “?”

Why is it Ji Sui? What about Nisun?

Wait, what did he say? Grandpa? Ji Sui’s granddaughter is his…

The old emperor sat back with a bang, covering his chest, his face distorted.

[Wrong, wrong!] Xu Yanmiao’s voice followed: [That’s not the daughter of your and your ex-wife’s daughter, that’s a fake! It’s a death row prisoner in jail!]

The old emperor: “…”

and the daughter of his ex-wife? Not his family’s Qinghe?

The old emperor didn’t care about being deceived and was relieved with cold sweat all over his body.

So, all the Jinyiwei who were present saw the old emperor being silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and yelled: "Xu Yanmiao! You bastard!"

——It must be the bastard's inner voice that made Ji Sui suddenly rush over!
