Two days after the birthday banquet, the entire capital city left messages, and the remarks about the truth and falsehood of Princess Changle were endless, and they spread vigorously.

Some people say that the princess regent of Chu has bad intentions and intends to plot against the country of Li, so she relies on her appearance to be similar to Princess Changle, so she pretends to be a princess, which is really ill-intentioned.

Some say that the princess Changle in the palace and the pretending princess regent of Chu are fake, when Princess Changle was assassinated on the way to Shu, everyone knew, maybe the real Princess Changle was dead at that time, and that assassination may be a conspiracy to change the day, it was the Chu State in order to seize the country of Li and sent the daughter of the Lou family to impersonate, so since Princess Changle was found, her temperament has changed greatly, so many years of confusion and chaos, so the national strength of the country has fallen, and now Princess Changle is like a waste and is useless to be locked up by His Majesty in Princess Changle, so Chu sent the regent princess who is very similar to Princess Changle, planned the events at the birthday banquet......

And this matter involves a wide range of people and has a huge impact, which is enough to shake the foundation of Liguo!

And just when these rumors were overwhelming the city, a rumor spread again, some people said that the princess Changle in the palace was fake, and the princess regent of Chu was the real princess of Changle.

Naturally, this speculation was spread by King Jingyang and others when they saw all kinds of rumors.

However, there are many messages, and everyone doesn't know who it is and which one is fake, but there is one thing, everyone understands that the one in the palace is fake.

Everyone knows that Princess Changle was gifted and intelligent when she was young, she was raised by Her Majesty personally, she was already fluent in speech when she was less than a year old, she was already familiar with poetry and books at the age of three, and was personally taught by the emperor, and at the age of five, she was already familiar with the national policy and military book, and was often brought to the court by Her Majesty to give advice to Your Majesty.

And since that year, the princess Changle who was found back is very different from before, not only the pen and ink are not smooth, the poetry is not smooth, but also timid and stupid, ruthless, everyone was still confused at the beginning, thinking that the princess was exiled and suffered before her temperament changed greatly, but now that I think about it, if it is fake, it makes sense.

Now, almost the entire people in the capital are waiting to see how Xiao Zhenglin will deal with this matter, waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Xiao Zhenglin rarely set foot in Changle Palace, although he has almost spoiled this daughter over the years, but he rarely set foot in Changle Palace, and rarely asked about her diet and daily life.

Now Changle Palace has been guarded by the Yulin Army and the Black Dragon Shield in the light and dark, except for the people who send meals in on weekdays, no one else can enter, and none of the people inside can get out, but Princess Changle still enjoys the same treatment as before.

Two days after the birthday banquet, Princess Changle's heart slowly changed from fear and fear to calm now.

But it's just death, she just waits!

Seeing Xiao Zhenglin appear, she was a little surprised, but turned calm, knelt down slowly, and kowtowed: "Sons see their father!"

It is not as arrogant and domineering as in the past, nor is it as glamorous and flamboyant as in the past, dressed in plain clothes, with a pale face, and the head is not like the pearls and greens of the past, but the ink hair is like a waterfall, this look, and Lou Yueqing at the birthday banquet two days ago, almost unrecognizable.

Xiao Zhenglin slowly walked to a chair not far away and sat down, did not call her up, nor did he speak, but just looked at her with complicated eyes.

Princess Changle didn't hear Xiao Zhenglin's voice for a long time, so she slowly raised her head, turned around, still kneeling, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhenglin who was sitting there not far away, she smiled faintly, and asked calmly: "Father is here to deal with me today?"

Xiao Zhenglin looked at Changle secretly, and said lightly: "Look at you like this, you are already ready, just waiting for me to give an order to deal with it?"

Princess Changle smiled bitterly, lowered her eyes and whispered: "What should come, will always come, from the day the son was led into the pigeon and magpie's nest here, he already knew that there would be today, not mine, not mine after all, now that the father's own daughter has returned, there is naturally no room for me, a person who has committed a heinous crime, and the death penalty is inevitable!"

When Xiao Zhenglin heard this, he suddenly fell silent, lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at her, and said lightly: "You are honest!"

Princess Changle smiled lightly and said slowly: "Father's eyes are like torches, he has seen through everything, and his sons have no choice but to be honest!"

Seeing that she was neither humble nor arrogant, Xiao Zhenglin smiled meaninglessly, and said: "I really didn't expect it, all these years, you have been deliberately ei zhuang, today, it can be regarded as sincere!"

Princess Changle smiled stupidly, her eyes flickered, and she laughed at herself: "In the past, my life was in the hands of the queen, in order to protect myself, I could only turn myself into what the queen wanted to see, the palace is sinister, no one can believe it, except for pretending to be stupid to protect myself, what else can I do? But now everything can't be hidden, my father is a smart man, how dare my son show off in front of my father......

For so many years, in order to protect herself, she did not hesitate to turn herself into what the queen wanted to see, and even practiced herself, deliberately ruthless, and became the dang fu and poisonous woman in his mouth, everyone was afraid of her, but no one understood her fear.

When Xiao Zhenglin heard this, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he was silent, but his hand was unconsciously twisted into a fist.

Princess Changle took a deep breath, her eyes were slightly red, a little moist, and she spoke slowly, her voice was a little hoarse and choked: "However, for the father, the son is not deliberately ei zhuang, the father is the best person in this world, and the son has always regarded you as a father Zhuang, although I know that my father loves me, but because I don't know that I am an impostor, what you love is always your daughter, and I took everything from her, I lied to you, and now that the truth is revealed, you must want to cut me with a thousand knives, right?"

When Xiao Zhenglin heard this, he closed his eyes a little sadly, looking at Changle's gaze, which was dim and difficult to distinguish, and his distress and guilt were hard to hide, but Princess Changle knelt there and lowered her eyes, so she didn't see it.

He sighed a little helplessly, and asked lightly, "Why do you think I will kill you?"

When Princess Changle heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at Xiao Zhenglin in surprise and puzzlement: "Father, ...... emperor"

What does he mean by not killing her?

Xiao Zhenglin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked lightly: "Do you know who your parents are?"

What did Tang Huike say to her......

Princess Changle was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in disappointment, and said, "I don't know ......."

Xiao Zhenglin frowned, looked at her, thoughtful, and silent.

Princess Changle thought he didn't believe it, and explained in a low voice: "I started to be sensible, that is, the Tang Hou sent people to control and teach, no parents, no relatives, I don't know who I am, I only know, who I want to be, when I was a child, the Tang Queen asked people to lock me in a courtyard, diet and daily life are according to her wishes, I can only obey, until I was brought here, I understand that all this is what Princess Changle likes, and my use is to replace her, I have no choice at all!"

Although Xiao Zhenglin knew all this, when he heard it from this child's mouth, he felt more and more guilty and distressed, but ......

He sighed heavily: "I understand......"

Princess Changle looked at him puzzled: "Father, ...... emperor"

Xiao Zhenglin stood up, walked up to Princess Changle, and personally helped her up.

Princess Changle was a little flattered.

Xiao Zhenglin didn't say anything, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Father!" Princess Changle suddenly called him.

Xiao Zhenglin paused.

Princess Changle finally asked the doubt in her heart: "Did you know from the beginning that I was not your daughter?"

Xiao Zhenglin turned his head, frowned at her, and asked instead of answering: "Why do you ask like this?"

Princess Changle pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Erchen heard that she has a millet girl called Wuwu, and you have never called Erchen Wuwu......"

After so many years in the palace, I have naturally heard many things, Princess Changle's name is Xiao Liyue, her title is Changle, and her small characters are worry-free, and her father has always called her like this, but in the palace for thirteen years, no one calls herself like this, and her father only calls her Changle......

Xiao Zhenglin didn't hide it, sighed in a deep voice, and said lightly: "As soon as I was born, I was raised by myself, how could I be easily deceived by others, and I couldn't even recognize my own daughter?"

When Princess Changle heard this, she immediately asked puzzledly: "Then why ......?"

Xiao Zhenglin said in a deep voice: "There are some things, you don't have to understand too much, don't worry, she is my biological daughter, but you ...... After all, I have raised you for more than ten years, and I have hurt you for more than ten years, and I will definitely protect you!"

Princess Changle was stunned when she heard this, and when she came back to her senses, Xiao Zhenglin had already left Changle Palace.

Princess Changle was stunned for a while, only to feel weak, and sat directly on the ground, sitting there in despair.

After a long while, she suddenly grinned and smiled stupidly, but she burst into tears, and she didn't know whether she was sad or happy.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhenglin summoned King Jingyang, Xiao Yike and others and talked secretly for two hours.

Lou Yueqing was imprisoned for three days and three nights, and on the morning of the third day, she finally stepped out of the prison of Dali Temple, where she was imprisoned.

It was Lu An who personally came to take her out.

"Your Majesty has a decree, please ...... The regent princess of Chu State enters the palace!"

Lou Yueqing knew that she was finally here.

The moment she walked out of the prison of Dali Temple, the sun rose, and the dazzling sunlight made her a little uncomfortable, she couldn't help but close her eyes, stretched out her hand to block, for a moment, after adapting, she slowly put down her hand, raised her eyes to look at the slowly rising sun, and was stunned, for a moment, the corners of her mouth pulled slightly, and she smiled.

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lu An hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Princess, Your Majesty and all the ministers are waiting......

Hearing this, Lou Yueqing came back to her senses slightly, but raised her eyebrows, Your Majesty and the ministers......

What is this going to do? Deal with her?

So, his final decision was not to want her as his own daughter?

With a sarcastic smile, she no longer hesitated, followed Lu An to the carriage that came to pick her up, and went to the palace.

Along the way, there were discussions on both sides, all about her, because the carriage was from the prison of Dali Temple, plus the Yulin Army accompanying on both sides, although she could not be seen, but everyone along the way knew that she was in the carriage.

The noisy discussion came, and Lou Yueqing sat in the carriage, her face was very calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The carriage walked for about half an hour, and finally entered the palace, stopping outside the council hall, Lou Yueqing got out of the carriage, stood next to the carriage, looked up at the tall and majestic council hall, and was distracted again.

Seeing this, Lu An didn't dare to urge, and waited quietly aside, more than respectful.

Lou Yueqing was in a trance for a moment, returned to her senses slightly, glanced at the guards around the council hall, frowned, and asked lightly, "Who are the people inside?"

Lu An replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty and all the princes and ministers are here!"

Lou Yueqing didn't say anything, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were clear and firm, she smiled faintly, stepped up, walked up the front steps of the hall, and walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

In the solemn and splendid hall, all the officials gathered, Xiao Zhenglin was wearing a black dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, everyone was waiting, waiting for Lou Yueqing's arrival, so when Lou Yueqing's figure appeared at the door of the hall, everyone's eyes were all focused on her, and her complexions were different.

Lou Yueqing stood at the door of the hall, glanced at the officials on both sides of the hall, and after that, her eyes stayed in the middle, looking at the people sitting on the dragon chair at the end.

She paused for a moment, then walked into the main hall and walked forward slowly, the eyes of the military ministers on both sides stayed on her Shenhang, and she didn't seem to notice it.

About a foot down the steps below the dragon chair, she stopped.

raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhenglin on the dragon chair above, Xiao Zhenglin also looked at her, his expression was calm, and his eyes were obscure.

Cai Qi, the imperial historian of Zuodu, who was listed in the official ranks, saw that Lou Yueqing had stood for a long time without any words or movements, and immediately scolded: "Bold, dare not salute when you meet Your Majesty, and dare to look directly at Your Majesty!"

Lou Yueqing came back to her senses, turned her head slightly, and looked at Cai Qi, who was scolding her, without any emotion in her eyes.

Not only her, but King Jingyang, Xiao Yike and others who were standing on the other side also looked at him with extreme displeasure.

Xiao Zhenglin frowned, and glanced at Cai Qi lightly, but he was very calm.

Lou Yueqing retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes for a moment, and then, she lifted her skirt and knelt down slowly.

The tone was soft, indifferent and detached: "...... See...... Your Majesty!"

As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Zhenglin's face moved slightly, and the people on both sides also looked at each other with different expressions.

Xiao Zhenglin said lightly: "Flat!"

Only then did Lou Yueqing stand up.

The prince spoke first, and pointed at Lou Yueqing with righteous indignation and said loudly: "Father, this daughter is a member of the royal family of Chu State, and she sneaked into the capital to do wrongdoing, and now she looks similar to the imperial sister, claiming to be the imperial sister, it is simply nonsense, it is really ill-intentioned to disturb the people's hearts and subvert the bloodline of the royal family of our country, the crime is extremely evil, and I ask my father to execute her!"

Xiao Yihuai was naturally puzzled in the past three days, he didn't understand what was going on at all, he asked to see Xiao Zhenglin, asked to see Tang Hui, and even wanted to go to Changle Palace to ask Princess Changle, but he was stopped, and even wanted to go to the prison to find out, but he was also stopped, he could only wait for today, he didn't believe Lou Yueqing's words, he just thought that she had bad intentions, and he had a dispute in Chu before, he naturally wanted this woman to die.

Prime Minister Tang immediately seconded: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is extremely true, this woman intends to subvert the royal bloodline, and she should be executed!"

Another minister seconded the proposal: "Your Majesty ......"

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Zhenglin suddenly shouted: "Enough!"

The hall was suddenly silent.
