Chang'an glanced at him and muttered to himself, what kind of talk is this?
"Father, at least I was the one who saved your life. Shouldn't this situation make a fool like me understand a little better?"
"Hahaha." The emperor felt very happy when he saw Chang'an's depressed face.
"Bei Mingxuan!" Chang An turned and looked at him, "Don't you want to explain?"
The emperor listened to Chang'an's words and turned to look at Bei Mingxuan curiously. "Xuan'er, does he usually call you by your name like this?"
"Listen, son. It sounds better than the word 'prince'."
"Why are you protecting me so closely?" the emperor retorted, "I don't blame Chang'an. Do you need to?"
Bei Mingxuan: “…”
Changan: “!!!”
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen an emperor who is rude to others?"
"No."
"Yes."
emperor……
Changan glanced around.
Soon, she moved a chair and sat in front of the square table where Bei Mingxuan and the emperor were playing chess.
“I’m ready, Prince Xuan, you can tell me the whole story.
For example, why is this the Imperial Palace? For example, Prince Xuan, how did you know that my father was here? For example, why did your relationship with my father suddenly change? "
"This is the secret passage under the imperial palace. It's about twenty meters above and to the left of our heads. It's the imperial study." Bei Mingxuan said as he stood up and took the chessboard away.
At the same time, a pot of tea was brewed, some snacks were taken and placed on the table, and a cup was poured for Chang'an and placed in front of her, and then for the emperor.
"Bei Mingxuan, you should pour it for me first!"
"Your Majesty, this is wrong." Bei Mingxuan smiled, "Yu Guo, you are the king and the emperor, and the relationship between me and you is just that of monarch and subject.
Personally, you are my father, and although you gave me life and raised me, it is far from enough compared to Chang'an.
She is the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life, even in the afterlife. So, I should be nicer to Chang'an, that's the right thing to do."
"..." The emperor was stunned. "How can you explain it this way? Isn't it said that the grace of giving birth to a child is greater than heaven? But in your case, the grace of giving birth to a child is not even comparable to that of a woman?"
"That's because this woman is Chang'an." Bei Mingxuan looked at Chang'an with a smile in his eyes, "In this world, she is the only one who deserves this from me."
The emperor was feeling depressed and didn't bother to argue with his son. "Forget it, you two are inseparable now. It's too much for an old man like me to compete for favor with a beautiful woman."
Competing for favor???
This word doesn't seem to be appropriate here.
Changan swallowed the dessert in his mouth and took a sip of tea, "As far as I know, the palace has dug a secret escape passage since it was first built.
Could this be the secret passage leading to the Biquan Temple in Ciyun Town?"
Bei Mingxuan's smiling eyes showed deep approval, and the expression on his face said, this king's woman is smart.
The emperor deliberately wanted to strike a blow at Chang'an. "That's true, but not entirely. This is just one example."
Chang'an pursed his lips, his eyebrows curved, and looked at the emperor, "Chang'an, why do I feel that you seem to dislike me at this moment?"
"..." Is it so obvious that the emperor is suspicious of the fox?
Bei Mingxuan took a deep breath and glanced at Ni, "Chang'an, don't always embarrass your father."
"How could it be?" Chang'an glared, very disapproving, "Who is the emperor? He is the ruler of a country, above everyone else, a man of great ability. How can he be so embarrassed over such a trivial matter?
Besides, a smart man like my father would find the ladder himself to get down."
As he said that, Changan turned to look at the emperor, "Father, do you think what Changan said is true?"
"yes."
"That's right." Chang'an's eyebrows curved.
However, the emperor always felt that if he agreed, he would feel shameless.
There is also the feeling of being a fool, seeing a pit in front of you but still jumping into it.
Thinking in his mind, he looked up at Chang'an.
Chang'an shuddered, and a really beautiful smile appeared on his lips.
“…” Bei Mingxuan’s eyes twitched.
The emperor didn't bother to argue and said, "When every dynasty was first established, a secret escape passage would be built in the palace.
But where we are now, there are only three places that can lead to here, and this is the only one that leads to Biquan Temple.
The other palaces are accessed through secret passages, with exits both inside and outside the city."
"These three places are the Imperial Study, the Bedroom, and the Imperial Court." Bei Mingxuan continued the emperor's words, "But there are some differences between them. As for the Imperial Study, after coming down from the entrance, it's not here. If you're not careful, you definitely won't get inside. You'll go somewhere else along the secret passage."
"What about the door leading here?" Chang'an wondered why no one mentioned the secret passage here in the imperial study yesterday. Did they not know about the secret passage, or did they not think about it?
"It's a secret door, hidden in the wall," the emperor said. "Even if someone came down from the Imperial Study, they wouldn't be able to find it easily. So, even if someone suspected that I disappeared from the Imperial Study, even if they found the entrance, they wouldn't find it here."
There is nothing to doubt about the secret passage.
Chang'an's gaze swept from Bei Mingxuan's face to the emperor's, his eyes filled with confusion. "Father, haven't you always disliked Bei Mingxuan? When did your relationship improve? Or did you admit your mistake to your son?"
After hearing Chang'an's words, Bei Mingxuan immediately looked at Chang'an, with admiration and helplessness in his eyes.
I admire Chang'an's intelligence, but I feel helpless about why Chang'an dares to say anything, especially the sentence about the father admitting his mistake to his son.
The emperor took in Bei Mingxuan's expression and said, "You don't have to blame Chang'an, she is right.
I should admit my mistakes to you, but that is only between a father and his son, not between a king and his subjects.
Chang'an listened to the emperor's words and nodded immediately with a flattering expression on his face, "Actually, father, you were just bewitched by evil magic, it's not your true intention.
If he dares to complain, Chang'an will not let him off easily."
The horse hit the emperor's heart directly...
"Good." The emperor was happy, "No wonder your grandmother likes you.
Actually, now that I think about it, the person I feel most sorry for is your mother.
After Chang'an brought that little servant boy to treat me that day, I have been thinking about what happened over the years.
Ever since he was born, I realized that there were many things that I could no longer decide and control myself.
At first, I didn't know who did it, but later, the prince's biological mother admitted it, and I knew it was her who did it. And it was also at that time that I learned that she was from Dongdao. "
"Is she controlling our father in order to keep you by her side?" Chang'an asked speculatively.
