He was not kneeling this time. After all, he had changed from a traitor to a loyal minister who was looking for royal flesh and blood, and he had become stronger.

"Asshole!"

Emperor Jingxuan slapped the table.

Well, I still have to dress up for my grandson.

Sikong Yun bowed slightly and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Emperor Jingxuan said sternly, "You'd better tell the truth. What happened? Where did you find this child? And why did you keep it secret?"

"ah……"

Sikong Yun opened his mouth.

As the number one charlatan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must be able to make up stories with ease, but this time the story is really difficult to make up.

Emperor Jingxuan took a deep breath: "If he hadn't called me father..."

Sikong Yun: Is it possible that he doesn’t know what the father emperor is?

In Xiaohu's understanding, except for father and mother who are specific and cannot be called randomly, all other names can be called. For example, sister Xiyue's aunts are also the aunts of the three of them. Sister Xiyue's great-grandmother, they also call her great-grandmother, Niudan's grandfather, they also call him grandfather, and of course, sister Xiannv's father's room, he also calls him father's room.

But it is remarkable that one dares to call out and the other dares to admit it.

It seems that the emperor had many romantic affairs outside the palace. Otherwise, how could he have dared to acknowledge a son if he had never slept with women outside? Secondly, he and the queen mother had actually always overlooked one thing: Emperor Jingxuan and Prince Nanyang were born of the same mother, and they were very similar. Xiaohu looked like Prince Nanyang, so naturally he also looked a bit like Emperor Jingxuan.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Sikong Yun had a rough idea in his mind.

He decided to take the initiative and asked with a complicated expression, "I also saw this child a month ago. At that time, he was abandoned at the gate of the Imperial Observatory. I thought he was lost from his family, so I took him back to the Imperial Observatory. But I waited for several days, but no one came to look for him. I forgot to say that the child was very sick. He kept calling for his father in a daze. I was shocked! Looking closely at his appearance, he really looks like Your Majesty... Afterwards, he recovered. When I asked him, he didn't remember anything. I think it might be because of the high fever for too long or the shock that made him forget the past."

Emperor Jingxuan said coldly: "It's been a month? Why didn't you tell me?"

Sikong Yun cried out in injustice: "I didn't tell Your Majesty because... I think it's impossible... Your Majesty has never... left... the palace... to look for prostitutes."

Emperor Jingxuan was suddenly accused, his face froze, and he said uncomfortably: "I... have had sex with women outside the palace."

"Ah... then..." Sikong Yun's eyes were filled with shock.

"Dongqi! Daqi! Dongqi! Daqi!"

Xiaohu started beating a small gong outside the imperial study, and he didn't forget to shout out the rhythm to himself.

Sikong Yun's mouth twitched.

Emperor Jingxuan, however, looked like he was enjoying it.

It goes without saying that Xiaohu is adorable, and unlike those old-fashioned children in the palace, he feels very fresh to Emperor Jingxuan.

Another most important point is that suddenly having such a young son made Emperor Jingxuan feel that he was still very young.

Sikong Yun: It’s over. Your Majesty, do you want to recognize this “son”?

Wouldn't that be a mess? Sikong Yun sighed, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I have been investigating for some time and have indeed found something. The biological mother of this child... may be related to the White Lotus Sect."

Emperor Jingxuan's expression changed.

Sikong Yun said with great sorrow: "That woman may have seen through your Majesty's identity, or... someone around your Majesty leaked your Majesty's whereabouts. In short, she must have deliberately approached your Majesty. But I guess she must have turned her fake play into reality and developed admiration for your Majesty, so she decided to give birth to the child. She didn't hand it over to the White Lotus Sect to use him as a handle to threaten your Majesty, which is enough to explain everything."

Emperor Jingxuan opened his mouth: "Then she..."

Sikong Yun lamented: "She is no longer alive. This child is the only bond between her and Your Majesty."

To be honest, Emperor Jingxuan couldn't even remember who he had favored in the past, but after hearing what Sikong Yun said, he felt as if there really was a woman who had fallen for his charm and demeanor and was willing to betray the White Lotus Sect for him.

Emperor Jingxuan's soul was floating high.

Sikong Yun: I knew you would like this.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at the little guy beating the gong outside the house and said hesitantly, "Is he my own flesh and blood?"

Sikong Yun: "Yes."

Emperor Jingxuan: "But he is also a member of the White Lotus Sect."

Sikong Yun: "...his mother is."

Emperor Jingxuan: "So I can't recognize him?"

Sikong Yun: "Not only that, you have to hide her well. It's best not to bring her back to the palace, and don't have too much contact with her. Otherwise, once the news gets out, the White Lotus will make a big fuss about it."

"I understand." Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were filled with disappointment. Thinking of something, he frowned and asked, "Wait, how did the Queen Mother know that?"

Sikong Yun's eyes flickered. "Ah... yes... on the day when I went to the temple to pray, I asked the Queen Mother whether Your Majesty had left the palace four years ago and had sex with other women. I accidentally let it slip."

"Your Majesty, if you trust me, you can raise the little prince in the Imperial Observatory. I will keep my mouth shut and allow the little prince to come to the palace every few days to reunite with Your Majesty in the guise of a elixir delivery boy."

The Queen Mother sent someone to take Xiaohu to Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jingxuan had no doubts. If this little guy could please the empress dowager, it would be a good thing.

The relationship between mother and son may be able to improve.

And this time, it was finally not because of King Nanyang.

In the Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother held her beloved baby in her arms, loving him so dearly that she wished she could keep him by her side forever.

Even though the generations are a bit confusing, it might be a great comfort to see one of the little ones like now.

Imperial Garden.

Princess Hui'an was sent away by Princess Jingning, and the palace maids also retreated.

Princess Jingning and Su Xiaoxiao were the only ones left in the huge garden.

Princess Jingning asked seriously, "Tell me, what happened? How did the son you adopted in the countryside become my father's illegitimate son?"

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "If I say it's a coincidence, do you believe me?"

Princess Jingning said mercilessly: "I don't believe it."

Alas, women are too smart and hard to fool.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What should I say about this?"

Princess Jingning said sternly, "Tell the truth. Don't try to lie to me. If he is really my father's son, why did only Xiaohu come to acknowledge him, but Dahu and Erhu didn't show up? And you and Sikong Yun never mentioned Dahu and Erhu from beginning to end. The three of them are not my father's flesh and blood!"

Su Xiaoxiao had a strong premonition that the secret could no longer be kept secret.

As expected.

Princess Jingning thought for a moment, then whispered, "It belongs to Prince Nanyang, right?"

It was suddenly blocked, and the computers at home were all in use. I could only type a few words whenever I had a break during lunch. It was so hard for me...
