Chapter 210 The Emperor Protects His Child! The Xiao Family Is Furious
Xiao Lingzhao used all his acting skills in his life at this moment.
He raised his head blankly and looked at Xie Junlin in confusion.
He seemed to understand what Xie Junlin meant, but he was shocked by the amount of information contained in these words. He couldn't believe his ability to understand.
He stared at Xie Junlin in a daze, and after three breaths he spoke in shock and nervousness.
"emperor--"
His voice was hoarse. "Your humble servant... Your humble servant did not misunderstand your meaning, did you? You said that the Second Prince inherited my great strength? You mean that the Second Prince is not your child, but my own flesh and blood?"
As he said this, the old general and the old lady all looked at Xie Junlin.
After a moment of shock, they suddenly held each other's hands tightly, showing extreme surprise!
The old couple were overjoyed and spoke at the same time:
"Your Majesty, is this true?"
"Is the Second Prince really our Ling Zhao's biological child?"
"But this is not right. Aren't he and the eldest prince twins? The eldest prince looks so much like you. He is obviously your child. How can the second prince not be yours?"
Shen Yuanwei looked at her surprised parents-in-law blankly, then at Xiao Lingzhao, and finally at Xie Junlin.
She seemed unable to believe that her two children had two different fathers. She struggled to react for a long time before she took a step forward.
She stared into Xie Junlin's eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, you are not making fun of us, are you? Yuan'er is really not your child. Is he really the blood of the Xiao family?"
Without waiting for Xie Junlin to answer, she shook her head and said, "No, no, no, no, this kind of thing is not a joke. You said that the Second Prince is the blood of the Xiao family, and we will take it seriously! If we take it seriously, we will definitely take back the child that belongs to our Xiao family!"
Xie Junlin looked at the four people indifferently.
These people really seem to be unaware.
I don’t know if these four people have great acting skills or they really know nothing.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Yuanwei asked him, "Your Majesty, since you are silent, do you agree? The Second Prince is indeed a descendant of the Xiao family, right?"
Seeing that Xie Junlin still didn't speak, Shen Yuanwei immediately turned around and held Xiao Lingzhao's arm tightly, her eyes red with joy.
"Ling Zhao, did you see that? The emperor has acquiesced. The second prince is really your child. The second prince inherited your great strength. He is your child! That's great. It turns out that God gave us a surprise back then. It turns out that we had a child!"
After saying that, she immediately pulled Xiao Lingzhao and knelt in front of Xie Junlin.
She said excitedly, "Your Majesty! Since we got the Second Prince's background wrong back then, and since the Second Prince is not your child, then I beg you to return the child that belongs to the Xiao family to the Xiao family!"
Xiao Lingzhao was stunned by this huge surprise.
It was not until he knelt on the ground that he finally reacted. He could not hide the joy on his face and he kowtowed excitedly.
"Your Majesty, please allow my child to return to the Xiao family and recognize his ancestry!"
"The royal bloodline cannot be mixed. Since it has been confirmed that the Second Prince is my own flesh and blood, we cannot allow him to stay in the palace as a prince."
"You are the emperor, you cannot raise the children for the Xiao family. We, the Xiao family, do not want our children to be stranded outside and unable to recognize each other. The second prince is a descendant of the Xiao family, so he should return to the Xiao family to learn martial arts. He should follow me to the battlefield. The Xiao family has been eating the emperor's salary for generations, and as a descendant of the Xiao family, he should also use his blood and life to protect the country!"
“…”
When Xie Junlin heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
What?
Let this pampered little fat boy go to the battlefield and protect the country with his blood and life?
No, that little fat boy is so delicate. Whenever he gets bumped into something, he will jump into his arms and cry, asking for a hug and a blow from his father. How can such a little waste go to the battlefield?
The old general and his wife also knelt down with a thud.
The old general kowtowed and begged.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to return the Xiao family's child to the Xiao family. Your Majesty already has an elder prince, and the second prince is not your flesh and blood. So please return him to us, please!"
After a pause, the old general continued.
"Your Majesty, please understand. Allow me to risk my life to say that the Second Prince is Ling Zhao's own flesh and blood. You cannot blame Ling Zhao and Yuan Wei for this matter."
"From the time Yuan Wei became pregnant with the two princes, we can know that Yuan Wei became pregnant with the two princes within one or two days after entering the palace. Even if the second prince is Ling Zhao's flesh and blood, it was before Yuan Wei entered the palace. Yuan Wei has never betrayed you after becoming your concubine. She and Ling Zhao have never done anything to let you down!"
The old lady also kowtowed to defend herself.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yuan Wei had already drunk the contraceptive soup at the Xiao family. We really didn't know that she would be pregnant with Ling Zhao's child!"
"If we had known that one of the two children was of the Xiao family, we would have asked you to take him back. Why did we have to endure four years of separation? After all, the child was not born by Yuan Wei out of wedlock. The child came to us legitimately. There is no reason for our Xiao family not to take him back."
The old lady wiped her tears.
"Your Majesty, you know that six of our seven children died in the war. Our family has long been desolate and miserable. We have long been looking forward to having a grandchild. If you knew that the second prince was ours, we would have taken him even at the cost of our own lives!"
"But it's not too late to know this good news now, right, Your Majesty?"
The old lady looked at Xie Junlin expectantly.
"Your Majesty, you came to the Xiao family today to tell us about the Second Prince, just to let him return to the Xiao family to recognize his ancestors, right?"
"Oh, that's great. The second prince is only four years old now. He is still young and can't remember anything. We can still raise him well if we bring him back. As long as Ling Zhao takes him to the border to live for a few years, he won't remember that he is a prince, nor will he remember that he has a father. He will only remember that he is Xiao Lingzhao's son, he is a member of the Xiao family, and he is the eldest son of our Xiao family!"
“…”
When Xie Junlin heard the old lady's words, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
no!
That's his son, how could his son forget him?
He felt heartbroken when he thought of the little kid who would hug his thighs and call him father and act coquettishly to him, and would soon be taken to the border crying by Xiao Lingzhao, and he would never see that child again. In a few years, the child would completely forget about him, his father, and would only kneel down, kowtow and call him emperor when he saw him.
How can this be?
That was the son he watched grow up day by day. Neither Shen Yuanwei nor Xiao Lingzhao had taken care of their son in the past four years. It was in his arms that his son grew from a little baby to the cute little kid he is today!
He has put in so much effort and poured so much love into the baby. Why should the Xiao family snatch away the baby he raised with love and care, and even secretly teach the baby to forget him?
He stared at the happy family and clenched his teeth.
Everyone wants to snatch his son from him, right?
dream!
