The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "This matter is out of my mouth and into your ears, and you must not tell others." ”

Tao Ming thought for a moment and replied, "Do you need me to swear?" Didn't you say that the oath here is very effective?

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "No, I can trust you." ”

"You only know that I am the Seventh Prince, but you don't know that I am actually ranked forty-three. ”

Tao Ming's ears were pricked up, and his heart was shocked, his forehead was dropping, the Emperor of Heaven had given birth to more than forty sons.

"For as long as I can remember, I have lived in a secluded courtyard in the Qin Mansion, and my mother has come to visit me every three months. ”

"I'm followed by a wooden hiiragi, and on weekdays, there will be servants who will deliver food to the courtyard gate, and never let me go out of the courtyard gate. ”

"Only the thirteenth uncle, that is, your father, will sneak over the wall to talk to me and bring me some new things. Once he was found climbing over the wall, and was cleaned up by the head of the house at the time. ”

"But he'll still sneak in. ”

Thinking of Qin Siyu's heroic posture of climbing over the wall, the corners of the Seventh Prince's mouth turned up.

When Tao Ming heard this, it was already acceptable for his father to tell the Seventh Prince about the transfer of the stars, this is a good friend!

"The last time my mother came to see me, she was very emaciated, hugged me and cried bitterly, and later I learned that the brothers born to my mother before were dead. ”

"Not long after, the Emperor of Heaven brought me back to the palace and said to me, 'From this day forward, you are the Seventh Prince. 'I was still young at the time, and I was left to tremble in the face of the majestic Emperor. ”

"Since then, I have lived in the Phantom Green Palace, and I have the name 'Qiao Kongqing'. Every day, there are many maids and servants who serve me, and many doctors teach me all kinds of knowledge and etiquette. But I never saw my mother again. ”

"I have lived in the palace for a long time, and I vaguely learned from the maid and servant that the mother concubine had passed away. I knew that if I wanted to live, I had to be obedient. So I worked harder every day and tried my best to improve myself. ”

"It wasn't until I broke through the Sun Rank that I walked out of the Illusory Green Hall for the first time and saw the Heavenly Emperor again. Since then, every ten years, the Emperor of Heaven will call me to go to the Xuanling Hall to take the exam. ”

"At that time, I learned that there were still several princes living in the palace. However, only the sixth prince Qiao Kongjin is often seen. He has a withdrawn personality and never talks to me, and I can only secretly guess that he is also like me, and he was brought back from outside. ”

Tao Ming couldn't help but say, "Then how do you know that you are ranked forty-three?"

"That was after I left the palace and opened the mansion. After my 500th birthday, the Emperor built the Seven Princes' Mansion outside the palace, and I lived in it. ”

Tao Ming asked again: "Dare to ask how old are you now?"

The Seventh Prince thought for a moment: "It's a thousand years old, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Tao Ming squirted out a sip of beer.

These are all old monsters!

took out a tissue to wipe the wine on the side of his mouth: "I heard Baihu say that the girl here in Weishui got married at the age of twelve, so haven't you already given birth to a bunch of children?"

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "How can cultivators be like ordinary people? Those who marry at the age of twelve are all ordinary families, and they only live for more than a hundred years, how can they reproduce if they don't get married early?"

Tao Ming thought of a letter from her mother, and said suspiciously: "But my mother said that when she was ten years old, my grandmother had already begun to recruit a son-in-law for her!"

The Seventh Prince tilted his head and thought about it: "I only know a little bit about this matter, after Qiluo gave birth to your mother, something happened to the Qiluo clan, she was hurt by someone, and she recruited a son-in-law for your mother early, I'm afraid it has something to do with it." ”

Tao Ming thought of her white-haired grandmother, no wonder she asked Xia He last time why her grandmother looked so old, and Xia He panicked to stop her.

Well, this person who injured his grandmother must be recorded in a small notebook.

"Do you know who injured her?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head: "There is no way to know. ”

Tao Ming pulled back the topic: "Then talk about how you know that you are ranked forty-three." ”

The Seventh Prince looked Tao Ming up and down and asked, "You look very young, how old are you this year?"

"I'm almost eight years old. "I'm Lori, I'm proud.

The Seventh Prince sighed: "Then you did give birth to a child a little early. ”

Tao Ming didn't answer his stubble: "Tell the truth." ”

The Seven Princes curled the corners of their mouths slightly and continued: "Living in the Seven Princes' Mansion, I will have greater freedom. Within a few days, I quietly climbed over the wall and entered the Qin Mansion. ”

"As soon as I climbed over the wall, I saw Uncle Thirteen standing under the wall waiting for me. I followed him into the study of the head of the family, and at that time the head of the family had already changed, it was your grandfather Qin Youchuan, who was also my maternal grandfather. ”

"From my grandfather's mouth, I learned that my mother was my grandfather's sixth daughter, and the Emperor carried her into the palace by name. After entering the palace, she gave birth to four sons in a row. Later, he gave birth to me, ranked forty-three, and the Emperor of Heaven personally sent me to the Qin family and secretly raised me. ”

"When I asked my grandfather, my mother, and my brothers, how they died, he was silent for a long time, but he didn't answer me. ”

Tao Ming had a bold guess in his heart, hesitating to say it, if, in case, it was too sensational.

The Seventh Prince naturally didn't know what Tao Ming was thinking, and continued to recall: "If my grandfather doesn't say it, I won't ask anymore." Since then, I have had close contacts with the Qin family, and I have been in frequent contact with my thirteenth uncle until he disappeared. ”

"Later, I quietly investigated by myself and found that not only my mother concubine, but also all the daughters brought into the palace by the Qin and Su families, together with the sons they gave birth to, were all dead. The rest of the princesses, except for those who have been married, are alive and dead. ”

"After that, I obediently listened to the words of the Emperor of Heaven, and I did whatever he asked me to do. ”

"Because I am obedient, the Emperor of Heaven trusts me more and more, and he gives me more and more things to do, and there are more and more powerful people under me. ”

"Over the years, I have never given up investigating the cause of death of my mother and several brothers, but I have no clue. Until three hundred years ago, except for me and the six princes, the other princes I had seen all died again. ”

"Naturally, I didn't miss this opportunity to send someone to investigate secretly, but all the people who were sent out never came back. ”

"The Emperor of Heaven sent me to the Xuanling Palace, scolded me fiercely, and even seriously injured me. I sensed that he really wanted to kill me, but for some reason he stopped it. I lay down for half a year before I was able to walk on the ground. From now on, he will be more cautious and continue to play the good son who is obedient and obedient. ”

Tao Ming stared at the Seventh Prince and asked, "You talked about it for a long time, but you still didn't say why you rebelled!"

The Seventh Prince's expression changed, as if he had made a great determination: "The following things are probably difficult to accept, are you sure you want to listen?"

Tao Ming said in his heart This is not nonsense, of course I want to know the reason why you want to rebel, you can't get on this train in a daze!

In case you just run to rebel on a whim, and the Emperor of Heaven kills you or not, I don't know, he must kill me!

Tao Ming was unhappy, and her tone was naturally not very good: "Love to say it or not, don't say it, pull it down." ”

The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "One day, the Emperor of Heaven sent me out on an errand, and on the way back to the Imperial City, someone hid in my carriage. When I entered the carriage, I found that the person was actually the third prince who had died. ”

"He was seriously injured, and when he saw me open his mouth, he said, 'That Heavenly Emperor in the palace is fake.'" ”
