Seeing that his father and sister were looking at him, Xu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, and then sighed and said:

"I'm thinking, where should I go to find Man'er, and what I can't figure out is that the emperor can send troops to Xueluo to look for Man'er now, but why do you have to wait until the prince marries the side concubine?

After Xu Han and Xu Ruohong heard this, their faces suddenly sank.

Xu Han looked at Xu Ruohong and Xu Cheng, hesitated for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"Father, brother, in fact, Bai Muci and the prince have long been husband and wife, and this time the emperor arranged for the prince to marry Bai Muci because of some kind of transaction. ”

"What? early......... It's been there for a long time......... Then why did the prince marry her now?" Xu Cheng was a little dumbfounded.

Xu Ruohong also looked at Xu Han with a puzzled face, motioning for her to continue.

Xu Han raised his head and looked around, then lowered his voice and said:

"You all know that Bai Muci suddenly fell seriously ill three years ago, and then closed his door, right?"

Xu Cheng nodded, thought about it carefully before saying:

"Well, Ding Anhou didn't say that his eldest daughter was seriously ill and needed to recuperate at home behind closed doors. ”

"You suddenly said that three years ago, isn't there another secret to this Bai Muci's serious illness?"

"Yes, there is indeed another hidden secret, that is because three years ago, at the banquet held by the queen for Bai Muci, Bai Muci listened to the bewitchment of the palace people and gave the prince an aphrodisiac........." Xu Han's lips hooked up a disdainful smile.

Hearing this, Xu Cheng and Xu Ruohong couldn't help but be stunned in place, for what Xu Han said was simply incredible.

Bai Muci, as the eldest daughter of Ding'an Houfu and the queen's niece, is as noble as a princess and is recognized as the first talented daughter in Beichen. But I didn't expect to make such a means as an aphrodisiac, and the behavior was no different from the prostitute in the kiln, which is really contemptible!

At this time, Xu Ruohong and Xu Cheng listened to Xu Han's words, and finally had an understanding of Bai Muci's illness back then.

Xu Cheng recovered from the shock, and then sighed with a heartbroken face:

"It's so degrading!"

"Brother, if I don't say it, how do you know that the queen's niece is cold and jade on the outside, noble and extraordinary, but in fact she is dirty on the inside, and she is endless?" Xu Han smiled coldly.

"Then why didn't the prince marry her three years ago, but until now? And you just said that there was some kind of deal between the prince and the emperor, what does this mean?" Xu Cheng frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Xu Han picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then spoke unhurriedly:

That's because when the prince woke up and found that he had been drugged by Bai Muci, he wanted to execute Bai Muci on the spot, but was stopped by the queen and Bai Yuan. The prince resented Bai Muci's drugged of him, how could he marry her?"

"Three years ago, the prince didn't agree to marry Bai Muci, so why did he agree now?" Xu Cheng wrinkled his eyebrows.

When Xu Han heard this, he hurriedly restrained the sneer on his face, and then said to Xu Ruohong and Xu Cheng with a straight face:

"Father, brother, I heard from the chief manager Wang before this, it seems that the emperor used some conditions to exchange with the prince, as long as the prince and Bai Muci get married, they will give the prince some kind of benefit. ”

"Some kind of benefit, what is the advantage of making the prince willing to compromise and marry a woman who has calculated himself?" Xu Cheng's eyes had a layer of doubt.

"I don't know about this, but I can definitely say that it is very important to the prince, otherwise it is impossible to marry Bai Muci according to the prince's heart. Xu Han shook his head and said.

Seeing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Ruohong, who had been silent, and lowered his voice to speak:

"Father, what do you think about this?"

Xu Ruohong was silent for a moment with a calm face, and just when Xu Han and Xu Cheng thought that he couldn't speak, he finally spoke in a deep voice:

"If I guess correctly, the emperor must have used military power to exchange with the crown prince, or the throne. ”

Hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but be shocked, looked at Xu Ruohong and said in surprise:

"Father, do you mean military power and the throne?"

"Well, there is nothing more that can make the prince bow his head than these two. Xu Ruohong nodded.

After Xu Han heard this, a trace of incomprehension and surprise slipped in his eyes, and he shook his head in disapproval of Xu Ruohong:

"No, father, I don't think so. The crown prince is the prince, and the military power and the imperial throne will be handed over to the crown prince sooner or later, so why use it in exchange?"

"But what if the emperor uses this to blackmail the prince? If the prince doesn't marry Bai Muci, then he won't pass on the military power and the throne to the prince!" Xu Ruohong stared at Xu Han and said.

Hearing this, Xu Cheng and Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little shocked, the brother and sister glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Ruohong and said in unison:

"Why does the emperor want to blackmail the crown prince?"

Xu Ruohong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, before slowly speaking:

"You have all seen the attitude of the prince in the Chen'an Palace today, no matter how I asked to withdraw from the marriage, he did not agree, and even said that the man girl would be his only concubine. ”

"I saw it, but it was because he was going to marry a side concubine, which was already unreasonable, and if he divorced from us and Man'er, I am afraid that he would really be spurned by the people. A trace of disdain slipped through Xu Cheng's eyes.

"No, what you didn't pay attention to were his eyes, and when he told me that the girl would be his only concubine, his eyes were firm, without any hesitation or deception. Xu Ruohong said in a deep voice.

"But so what? Could it be that my father believes that the prince likes Man'er? But you have to know that since ancient times, the ruthless emperor family, who do you think has been amorous among the emperors of the past dynasties?" Xu Cheng couldn't help but retort.

When Xu Ruohong heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Xu Cheng, and then said angrily:

"Do you think there is something wrong with Lao Tzu's vision? Lao Tzu is old, but his eyes have not yet spent, and he can still tell whether the prince is sincere or false when he speaks!"

Xu Cheng saw that his Lao Tzu was angry, so he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake:

"Father, the son doesn't dare, the son just says what he really thinks in his heart, and you also know that the royal family is ruthless..........."

Xu Cheng was talking, and when he saw Xu Ruohong looking like he was going to come up and beat him, he couldn't help but quickly stop his mouth.

Xu Ruohong stood up and walked in front of Xu Cheng, put his hands on his waist and said condescendingly:

"What about the royal family? Aren't the royal people human? Who doesn't have seven emotions and six desires, the prince likes the man, and Lao Tzu can see that he is much better than his father. ”

Xu Cheng was sprayed all over his face by his own Lao Tzu's saliva, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, so he couldn't help nodding and responding:

"Yes, yes, that's what my father said. ”

Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't contradict himself again, Xu Cheng snorted coldly and returned to his seat and sat down satisfied.
