Chapter 240 Eh? Prince Xin is not the late emperor’s biological son? !

Jiang Yanchuan hasn't experienced such a surprising feeling for many years.

After being surprised, I instantly understood the good intentions of that "Brother Tong".

He had a reputation for being vicious, and although he was lenient towards the children in the harem, emperors were the most moody. The "Brother Tong" would be wary of him, probably because he was afraid of bringing trouble to the little guy.

Even if it can give the little guy the information later, it can never let the little guy know about it and make it known so easily.

And if that "Brother Tong" had told the young man the contents of the note in advance, the young man would definitely want him to open the box as soon as he saw him. With his meticulous mind, he would probably become suspicious of the young man.

Letting the kid treat this as an ordinary box for a moment is the best solution he and "Brother Tong" could come up with.

Jiang Yanchuan felt a little amused, but was also relieved that the young girl had a "comrade-in-arms" who cared about her so much.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Jiang Yanchuan's thumb gently stroked the yellowed rice paper, and the handwriting on the paper was clearly visible -

[Eh? Prince Xin is not the late emperor’s biological son?!] The young man read out the contents of the note in his mind first.

The sound of someone sucking in a breath of cool air was clearly heard, followed by the young man's surprised voice: [Whose child is he?! ]

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes suddenly became extremely distant.

Jiang Silin is the most special prince among their generation.

He was born with congenital defects and was weak and sickly in his childhood, but he liked to follow this group of people. When they didn't know how to fight for power, he was almost like the little guys today and was loved by all his brothers.

However, when his health had finally recovered, news spread from the palace that Concubine Shu had attempted to assassinate the previous emperor.

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell.

From then on, Shu Fei was banished to the cold palace, and Jiang Silin was sent to the palace of Ming Fei, who had no children at the time. From then on, he was raised in the care of Ming Fei.

From then on, he became silent and no longer came to visit his brothers. As time went by, their relationship became distant.

Jiang Yanchuan had never expected that when he recalled the past after so many years, he would be in such a scene.

Can……

Even his mother said that Shu Fei had been deeply favored since she entered the palace, with the lights on every night in the Yuanxian Palace until dawn. How could Jiang Silin not be his father's child?

【Wow--】

After reading the data that 007 had retrieved, Jiang Yingcheng let out a long sigh: [What a palace drama!——]

Jiang Yanchuan withdrew himself from the recollections of the past and quietly turned his attention to the young man.

Jiang Yingcheng maintained his usual style of eating melons in a neat manner. After sighing, he began to summarize: [The emperor is really a romantic man. Shu Fei was obviously a woman from an enemy country that he brought back from the battlefield, but he fell in love with her at first sight and gave Shu Fei the title of a concubine of the Duke's Mansion, and welcomed her into the palace with great fanfare, allowing her to live a stable life of luxury! ]

[However, how could the woman brought back from the battlefield be a girl from an ordinary family? The emperor never dared to investigate this matter, and even tried to move Shu Fei with his sincerity, so that she would forget the national hatred and family feuds, and experience a peaceful and prosperous era with him in the Da Rui Palace.]

[But Shu Fei is the daughter of an enemy general. She witnessed with her own eyes the cavalry of Da Rui breaking through the city gate of her motherland, and saw her father and brother chopping off their own heads with a knife when the city gate was breached. How could she really forget the past and share the prosperity of Da Rui with the emperor? ! ]

After reading this past event to the end, Jiang Yingcheng even felt an inappropriate sense of empathy for Shu Fei's experience.

Just thinking about it, she began to feel uncomfortable: [If Cheng Cheng's beautiful father was also killed in front of Cheng Cheng, Cheng Cheng would definitely, definitely make that bad guy pay for my father's life! ]

Jiang Yanchuan unconsciously paused in tapping the table with his fingertips, and the fierceness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only a complex look of helplessness and tenderness.

He was resentful.

The Shu Fei incident caused a big stir in the palace back then, and their mother had warned them not to have any contact with Jiang Silin again.

But he knew that their group of people had visited him secretly.

But Jiang Silin had already closed himself off by then, shutting them all out.

He had thought at that time that Shu Fei was too cold-hearted and didn't care about Jiang Silin's life or death at all.

But the young man's current thoughts brought him to another perspective.

A perspective of a child.

Suddenly, I began to understand Shu Fei's approach.

【However...】

Jiang Yingcheng glanced at the note held in the hand of her handsome father, and was very confused about this matter: [How can there be such a mother in this world? ! ]

[Prince Xin had been planning to rescue his mother from the palace since he was very young. He made so many efforts, but he fell into the other party's calculations the first time he saw his mother.]

[Shu Fei lied that she could not leave the palace because of the Duke's Mansion, and spent a warm time with Prince Xin in that underground secret room. In the end, she committed suicide in front of Prince Xin, leaving a shadow on Prince Xin for the rest of his life.]

[Shu Fei also hid the information in a mahogany box and gave it to Prince Xin, hoping that Prince Xin would fulfill her unfulfilled wish and bring about the destruction of Da Rui.]

[Prince Xin obviously did nothing wrong, but just because he was her and the Emperor's son, he was deceived and used like this. How pitiful he is——]

Jiang Yingcheng glanced at the mahogany box again: [He placed the box in the palace in the hope that someone would pull him out of such a quagmire, or stop or rescue him...]

Jiang Yanchuan paused for a moment again.

so……

Jiang Silin is indeed his father's child, but Concubine Shu said so deliberately out of personal grudge?

His eyes unconsciously fell on the young guy, and his thoughts became distant again for a moment.

Jiang Silin at that time was just like the little dumpling now. He always liked to stick behind them all the time, like a little tail that could not be shaken off.

But his little and well-behaved appearance was very endearing, and although they didn't say it, deep down they really liked the feeling of being clingy.

If Jiang Silin really missed the old relationship as much as the young man said, he would be willing to lend a hand.

【However! 】

Before Jiang Yanchuan could make up his mind, the young man's voice suddenly changed from sadness to anger.

[Prince Xin has already lied to Prince Jing by claiming that he had read the will and told him that the emperor was going to pass the throne to Prince Jing, which caused the emperor and Prince Jing's brother to become enemies. Cheng Cheng will never forgive him! ]

Jiang Yingcheng clenched his fists, feeling full of pride: [Father's strongest little cotton-padded jacket, out - eh?]

Suddenly, there was a muffled "dong" sound from the hall. Before Jiang Yingcheng could finish his bold words, his attention was drawn to the sound.

【Uncle Changshun, what's wrong? 】

Eunuch Changshun, who was forced to listen to the whole thing, felt his knees go weak and his face was covered with cold sweat.

Why don't you give me some gold beans? I want to arrange a grave for myself first.
