Chapter 258



But the two of them had no choice. Every time Li Xiaochen wanted to leave Xiaohao behind to look for Lin Yuxin, the little boy would say coldly:

"Sister, you know that your brother is working so hard in the palace. Without help, you will be sad!"

Li Xiaochen stepped out and paused, then turned around and walked back to Xiaohao, his eyes were cold and his tone was very unfriendly:

"You dare to say that? Be careful or I will make sure you never see your sister again!"

Cheng Tinghao pursed his lips tightly, stared at Li Xiaochen without saying a word.

In the end, Li Xiaochen compromised expressionlessly and began to help him deal with state affairs, and assisted him at the side. When Cheng Tinghao didn't understand, he would ask him.

It's all because of this brat that he can't go see his Xinxin!!!

"The Emperor has arrived!"

At this moment a sharp voice was heard, and Li Xiaochen came back to his senses, standing there calmly.

"Long live the emperor!"

All the ministers saluted.

"Everyone, please stand up!"

The emperor walked to the dragon chair and sat down, then spoke in a very majestic manner.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the ministers stood up, Eunuch Liu spoke:

"놋When something happens, we will leave the court if nothing happens."

The ministers below were silent for a moment, and then Wang was the first to come out, salute, and report:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Permission granted!"

The emperor glanced at the audience below the stage. It was Prime Minister Hou Mingyuan! This old fox was too cunning before, but this time he was too cunning. He wanted to see what this old fox was doing.

"Your Majesty, there is a rumor in the capital that the Emperor has found the Ninth Emperor. I wonder if it is true. If it is true, please find out the truth and confirm the true identity of the Emperor. Don't let anyone confuse the royal bloodline!"

Hou Mingyuan said with righteous words.

The emperor looked at him without saying anything. The old man talked for a long time because he felt that there were too many rumors outside and wanted him to give a definite answer. Is this Ninth Emperor real?

"Do you have any other questions to ask?"

The emperor did not answer him, but asked other ministers.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. The royal bloodline is extremely important and is related to the foundation of the Xia Kingdom. If you confuse people, it will be a mess!"

Hu 꺶그껩, a civil servant, stepped forward, bowed and spoke.

"Okay, since you are all worried about this, I was planning to announce it today. I found the Ninth Emperor, Cheng Tinghao, and half of the rumors outside are true. I hope Hao'er is lucky and has not been harmed by that vicious woman Xiao, but he has suffered a lot over the years."

The emperor said this with a heartbroken expression, and finally signaled Eunuch Liu to let the Ninth Emperor in.

"Announce the Ninth Emperor to enter the palace!"

Cheng Tinghao walked in with an expressionless face, step by step. Although he looked only five years old, his whole body had the obvious aura of a superior. Just this made him more royal than the other emperors.

Coupled with Cheng Tinghao's eyes, she really looks like the queen.

Cheng Tinghao walked to the front of the palace and saluted the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Hao'er, you can call me father! You are my ninth son and the queen's only son. You are my legitimate son and the best choice for the queen. Don't be afraid!"

The emperor was very satisfied with his son's performance, but he still spoke to comfort him.

"Yes, Father!"

Cheng Tinghao answered with a blank expression and saluted.

But the emperor's words startled half of the ministers and the emperor below. Queen? Has the emperor decided to let this young man become the queen?

놋놅그 couldn't help but stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, please think twice about the matter of the crown prince. Not to mention whether the Ninth Emperor's identity is real, the former crown prince just lost power. If you immediately appoint a crown prince, this will make the Ninth Emperor the target of public criticism."

The emperor frowned upon hearing this and looked at the people below with great displeasure. They all said nice things, but in fact they were just afraid that Hao'er would become the crown prince and affect some forces.

Although Hao'er had just entered the palace and had no foundation or power, he was still very jealous, because Hao'er was his and the queen's child and had the legitimate right of inheritance.

"Since you have evidence to prove that Hao'er is the child of me and the queen, then I will show it to everyone. Li Xiaochen, you tell me!"

The emperor spoke impatiently, and then asked Li Xiaochen to explain.

Li Xiaochen didn't waste his words. He just wanted to get things done as soon as possible and go back to see Xinxin, so he stepped forward, bowed, and then began to speak:

"Since the first time I saw the Ninth Emperor, I felt that he was somewhat similar to the Queen. I became suspicious and secretly sent someone to investigate. As a result, I found something unusual."

"The family that adopted the Nine Emperor Gods picked them up by the river. I learned from them that when they picked up the Nine Emperor Gods, the clothes they wore were extremely good, and the fabrics were something they had never seen before."

"Based on their description, I guess that it was most likely made from the Tianxuesil that was offered as tribute by the Sauna Kingdom. The emperor was happy because the queen was pregnant, so he gave the only one of the Tianxuesil to the queen."

"The Queen gave the snow silk that day to make clothes for the Ninth Emperor, but I didn't find the small clothes. The family saw that the fabric was good and took it to sell."

"Your Highness, you can't be sure that this child is the Ninth Emperor based on a piece of cloth you haven't seen before? This is too hasty!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Hou frowned and asked.

Li Xiaochen glanced at him, then said:

"Later, I checked the four grandmothers who helped the Empress to pick up. Two of them have died, one retired and returned to her hometown, and the whereabouts of one is unknown."

"I have been secretly searching for the past six months. God has not let me down. I have found the two grandmothers. One is called Grandma Cui and the other is called Grandma He. Your Majesty can summon the two grandmothers to the palace to report."

After Li Xiaochen finished speaking, he asked the emperor for instructions.

The emperor didn't waste any words and directly asked Eunuch Liu to choose two grandmothers.

"Announce Grandma Cui, Grandma He, please come and see me!"

After a while, two women walked slowly to the door of the palace, and when they reached the center of the palace, they knelt down in front of the emperor.

"I, a common woman, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

"Okay, let me ask you something. Do you remember what happened when the Ninth Emperor appeared? Or did the Ninth Emperor die or was he taken away?"

The emperor understood immediately and asked the two grandmothers.

"Reply, reply Your Majesty, when I first received the Empress, something was indeed amiss. At that time, the personal nanny of Concubine Xiao Gui came and found the nanny who received the Empress in the same way as them, the Grandmother Wang. Later, when the Ninth Prince was born, the Grandmother Wang asked us to go out and sort out the Ninth Prince's things."

"When we came back, Grandma Wang said that the Ninth Emperor had died. But when the Ninth Emperor was born, I heard it clearly. The Ninth Emperor cried, and that cry was that of a normal child. It was impossible for him to die young."

When Grandma Cui heard the emperor's question, she knew that these things could not be kept secret, so she told the truth that she knew.
