Xiao Fan was a little dumbfounded. Jiang Shouzheng was actually playing tricks on his daughter. How could Jiang Yuli be on guard against her own father?
"Uncle Jiang, what is the relationship between me and the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Fan said with a puzzled look on his face.
He had to be on guard. Jiang Shouzheng might not have said what he said to Jiang Yuli. Wouldn't it be stupid of him to fall into the trap?
Jiang Shouzheng said calmly, "You are the prince's tutor and she is the princess. Logically, you two shouldn't have any relationship. Even if she talks to you about poetry, she wouldn't react so strongly."
"Uncle Jiang, maybe you are too sensitive."
Xiao Fan said.
Jiang Shouzheng said gloomily, "You're still playing dumb. You've done a great favor to our Jiang family. If I weren't extremely suspicious, do you think I would come here to tell you this today?"
"If this matter gets out of hand, do you know what the consequences will be?"
When he spoke of the latter part, Jiang Shouzheng's face was filled with anger and he was very emotional.
Jiang Yuli is the Crown Princess. If she were to have an affair with Xiao Fan without the Crown Prince's knowledge, she would definitely be dead if she was discovered.
The Jiang family will inevitably be implicated.
As Jiang Yuli's father, it is normal for Jiang Shouzheng to have such a reaction.
The Tianlong Empire is somewhat similar to ancient China. If a child is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. If Jiang Yuli is really like that, Jiang Shouzheng will have to die.
It’s not that the emperor would sentence him to death, but if such a situation occurred, only by dying as an apology could the Jiang family reduce the punishment.
Xiao Fan looked at Jiang Shouzheng. If he didn't let him know the truth about Jiang Shouzheng's situation, he would definitely investigate again in the future.
His actions might be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
In this case, it would be better to confront Jiang Shouzheng directly.
Qin Zhentian and Qin Xuan had told him before that if Jiang Shouzheng was very suspicious, he could explain it to Jiang Shouzheng.
"Uncle Jiang, if this gets out of hand, the country will be ruined."
Xiao Fan spoke slowly.
Jiang Shouzheng said with a dark face: "Are you admitting that there is a private affair between you two? It's not to the point of the country being on the verge of collapse."
"But if this matter is exposed, you will die, Yu Li will die, and I will have to take my head off myself."
"You are confused!"
Jiang Shouzheng was completely stunned. Jiang Yuli actually had an affair with Xiao Fan. What would happen if this matter was exposed?
"Uncle Jiang, your highness is a woman."
Xiao Fan said calmly.
Jiang Shouzheng was stunned. He looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.
Xiao Fan's words were like a thunderclap in his mind. There were such rumors in the streets, but there were many more messy rumors in the streets.
There were rumors that he had someone else outside, which prevented him from entering his wife's room for half a month and made him receive a lot of cold stares.
"Xiao Fan, you...what did you just say?"
Jiang Shouzheng said in a trembling voice.
Xiao Fan said in a deep voice: "Uncle Jiang, you heard correctly. Her Highness is a woman. If this news is exposed, the country will be ruined."
"Yu Li and I were together because His Majesty and His Highness arranged it. Yu Li agreed to it herself, and Elder Jiang also knew about it."
Jiang Shouzheng: "..."
"Uncle Jiang, this kind of thing, the more people know about it, the more dangerous it is. That's why Old Jiang and the others have been hiding it from you all this time."
Xiao Fan explained.
Jiang Shouzheng took a deep breath and said, "I understand. But there's no such thing as a completely leaky wall. How long can we keep this secret?"
"It's normal for Yuli not to get pregnant in a year or two. If she still doesn't get pregnant after a long time, everyone will know there's something wrong."
Xiao Fan said: "Your Majesty's childlessness must be due to a conspiracy. Perhaps your Majesty can recover after a breakthrough in his cultivation."
Jiang Shouzheng thought for a moment and sighed.
Your Majesty is also helpless. Doing this can delay some time and there is still a chance. Otherwise, will he pass the throne to the prince?
Given the current situation of the Tianlong Empire, even if Qin Zhentian risked his own death to pass it on to the prince, the Tianlong Empire would likely collapse.
"Xiao Fan, is Yuli okay?"
Jiang Shouzheng asked.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry, Yu Li is fine."
Jiang Shouzheng nodded slightly: "Except for your lack of cultivation, you are impeccable in other aspects. His Majesty and the others are very considerate of you."
"You two should be careful not to let others see anything unusual. If the day comes when it's revealed, your father has reached the Perfect Martial Emperor level, and our Jiang family will do everything in our power to protect you."
Xiao Fan raised his glass: "Uncle Jiang, I toast you."
Jiang Shouzheng raised his glass.
His mood was much more complicated than before.
Just now, in his opinion, Xiao Fan was the benefactor of the Jiang family. Jiang Gan was able to break through, and Jiang Wu and the others were able to survive thanks to Xiao Fan.
Now she discovered that Xiao Fan was actually her daughter's man.
"Be nice to Yuli."
Jiang Shouzheng and Xiao Fan clinked their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry."
Xiao Fan also drank the wine in the glass.
Jiang Shouzheng stood up and said, "Xiao Fan, let's stop here for today. I need to digest this news."
Jiang Shouzheng left soon.
His mood was extremely complicated.
Jiang Yuli was originally a good princess consort, but now she finds out that the prince is actually a woman, so Jiang Yuli is looking for another man.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan was quite satisfied.
Jiang Yuli is the apple of the Jiang family's eye. If the emperor and the prince just find a man for her, Jiang Shouzheng will be very angry.
"So many rumors have been debunked as false, how can this be true?"
Jiang Shouzheng sighed secretly.
This is a bomb, it might explode at any time.
Fortunately, Jiang Gan has reached the perfect level of Martial Emperor. Even if this bomb explodes, the Jiang family is not without hope.
