As the male protagonist's biggest obstacle to becoming the crown prince, it's understandable that the Crown Prince of Nanxi is the villain.
But isn't my little villain the grandson of the Grand Tutor who's been raised by his side for over a decade? How did he become the crown prince of another country?
"Yes, Your Majesty is right, I am the Crown Prince of Nanxi."
"So what have you been trying to do by hiding by my side all this time?" Wan Ge looked at him and deliberately gave him a cold shoulder.
Ci Xingxuan panicked instantly and grabbed her wrist: "Yes, at first it was to gather information, but... but later it was also true that I liked Your Majesty. I didn't give out a single piece of information about Beiqi. Your Majesty, please believe me."
"Hmph, is there anything else you want to say besides this?" Wan Ge snorted coldly, her face turning serious again.
"Yes, there are many things, but I would like to speak with His Majesty alone."
Wan Ge seemed to be seriously considering it, and after a while she looked up and said, "Fine, let's see what else you have to say."
Wan Ge ordered Feng Fu Jiu and Prince Yan to be imprisoned first, while she herself took Ci Xing Xuan back to the inner palace.
…
Ci Xingxuan looked at the woman sitting in front of him, sat down at Wan Ge's feet, and tugged at her skirt with a rather pitiful look.
"I don't fall for that. You'd better say what you have to say." Wan Ge turned her face away, even though she was clearly very susceptible to such tactics.
Ci Xingxuan lowered his head, seemingly aggrieved, and said softly, "My original name was Feng Xingxuan, and I was the Crown Prince of Nanxi, but I didn't want to be the Crown Prince at all, really, Your Majesty, I'm not lying to you."
"So, do you have any relationship with the Grand Tutor?" Wan Ge asked seriously again.
Ci Xingxuan nodded: "If we follow Nanxi's logic, then I am his grandson, but according to Beixi, I am her grandson."
"You mean your mother is the daughter of the Grand Tutor?" That makes sense. Since he is the Crown Prince of Nanxi, his father must be the Emperor of Nanxi, not the son of the Grand Tutor.
Ci Xingxuan nodded: "My mother was the second daughter of the Grand Tutor. She met my father when she traveled to Nanxi, fell in love with him, and gave birth to me. But when I was two years old, my father wanted to take me and my mother back to the palace, but my mother was murdered."
My father was actually a fickle and scoundrel. His feelings for my mother were just a passing fancy, and he couldn't forget her because she passed away so young. In the same year, he took many new concubines.
When I was three years old, he came up with an idea: to send me back to Nanxi so that it would be easier for me to gather information for him.
So someone told my grandmother that I was born to her second daughter and was her second daughter's orphan.
After all, in their eyes, my mother was not yet married, and now she has died in Nanxi for no reason, and has another child.
My grandmother was afraid that my mother would continue to be criticized after her death, and she was also afraid that I would be bullied. So she let me live with my uncle for a while, and later I became my uncle's child. I returned to my grandmother's side as her grandson.
Wan Ge was still a little shocked after hearing it. She didn't expect Nan Xi to be so ruthless. Her three-year-old son actually dared to give him away.
Because Ci Xingxuan has half Nanxi blood, he is taller than the average man, even much taller than her. She did have a moment of doubt, but she quickly thought it was impossible.
