The reason why the old emperor had a stroke was that he was angry with the queen two days ago, and second, he heard that King Nanyang was the real emperor, and he was stimulated and had a stroke.

The queen hid it inside and outside, and today the eighth prince only knew about it.

In addition to the officials headed by Guo Mingshun, Mo Dongsheng and other ministers, the Ningwang Party collectively took leave.

In the court, the "regular meeting" was held lukewarmly, and everyone dispersed.

After the eighth prince went down to the court, he went to Yonghe Palace.

The old emperor was paralyzed on the bed, eating and drinking Lazar and relying on Gonggong Jia to take care of him alone, which was really sad.

The other little eunuchs and palace maids, due to the authority of the queen, did not dare to help, so they only stood at the door, ignoring everything in the house.

Seeing that the eighth prince was coming, everyone saluted respectfully: "The slave maid/slave has seen the emperor." ”

The Eighth Prince said "um" and strode into the room.

Although incense was lit in the house, there was still a slight smell of fish.

Gonggong Jia knew that the Eighth Emperor was coming, and as if he hadn't seen it, he turned his back to him and continued to deal with the filth under the old emperor's buttocks.

The old emperor's eyes widened with anger, and his mouth let out a muffled angry scolding.

"Father, my son advises you to calm down and take good care of your body." The Eighth Emperor put his hands behind his back, looked at the old emperor quietly, and said in a light tone: "With such a big temperament, it can only make you look more like a waste." ”

The word "waste person" makes anyone angry when they hear it.

The old emperor's body twitched violently, and his eyes were about to pop out.

"Eighth prince, you go out, the emperor doesn't welcome you here!" Father-in-law Jia was still holding a damp and sticky cloth in his hand, and pushed the eighth prince out of the door.

What he shouted in his mouth was "Eight Princes", which shows that he did not accept this new emperor from his heart.

The Eighth Prince didn't expect the Jia Gong Guild to have so much strength, so he stumbled a few steps and barely stood still.

The little eunuch and the little palace maid outside the door trembled with fear by Gonggong Jia's behavior, and knelt on the ground with a "bang", hanging their heads and not daring to squeak.

The Eighth Prince glanced at everyone coldly, and said quietly: "Take care of the Emperor, if I find that there is something that is not well cared for, I will not spare it!" ”

"Yes." Everyone immediately responded, and then watched the Eighth Prince leave.

At the same time, Chen Zexuan was "invited" by the king of Nanyang to meet under the tree ten miles outside the city.

The King of Nanyang was already waiting there with a cold face, Chen Zexuan walked over quickly, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Father." ”

"Smack!" King Nanyang didn't speak, but first raised his hand and slapped him, and then said angrily: "Kneel!" ”

Although the king of Nanyang is old, he is a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, and his strength is still not small, so that when this slap went down, half of Chen Zexuan's face instantly swollen.

He knelt down with a "bang" without the slightest hesitation.

"Your father has been teaching you since you were a child, to be a good man who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and stands up to the sky, but you tell your father what you have done behind your back?" The king of Nanyang glared at Chen Zexuan with hatred, and his tone sounded very painful: "Instigating the Eighth Emperor to seek the usurpation of the throne, you secretly collaborated with the enemy and treason, did your father teach you to do this?" ”

Chen Zexuan stiffened, "No." ”

King Nanyang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xuan'er, you are talented and intelligent, and your mind is transparent, and there are some things that my father doesn't say much. ”

"Don't make any more mistakes, stop it now and go back to Nanyang with my father."

"Your mother and sister are still waiting for you, and that is our home."

Chen Zexuan shook his head, raised his eyes and said, "Father, it's true that Nanyang is our home, but the palace is where we should stay." ”

took out a stack of letter paper from his sleeve, handed it to King Nanyang, and said in a deep voice: "My son is doing this, not only for himself, but also for your father." ”

King Nanyang frowned, took the letter, and after only reading one page, he tore up all the letterhead, "Ridiculous!" ”

"Father has always thought that you are a measured child, and you would believe such absurd nonsense?"

"Father, you are indeed not the son of Mrs. Xicheng, this is not nonsense, it was sent by the son to find out." Chen Zexuan looked straight at King Nanyang, and said urgently: "Back then, if the Queen Mother hadn't forced Mrs. Xicheng to take oxytocic medicine, Mrs. Xicheng would not have hemorrhaged due to premature birth, this is all ......"

"Enough!" The old eyes of King Nanyang rolled with waves, he clenched his fists hard, suppressed the tremor in his voice, and said coldly: "Xuan'er, even if this is true, the person who can sit on the throne can only have the surname 'Qi', and must have the surname 'Qi'." ”

"Do you know that once the issue of royal blood causes an uproar, then the entire country will be shaken."

"Yunguo is still eyeing the tiger, so internal and external troubles, where do you put the innocent people?"

"Father, you have shed blood and been injured for the sake of the country, and you have a higher reputation than the emperor among the people." Chen Zexuan stood up suddenly, and there was an unwilling and unyielding fire in his narrow eyes: "If you sit in that seat, you will definitely be a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people and is supported by the people!" Isn't that also for the benefit of the people? ”

King Nanyang looked at Chen Zexuan's eyes with some disappointment, he shook his head, and sighed long: "Xuan'er, you still don't know your father." ”

"If my father is really interested in that position, why do you think that after so many years, why did my father stay in Nanyang with your mother and concubine?"

"To my father, that seat doesn't matter at all."

"The important thing is that I, you, and your mother and Yushu, our family is happy and happy together."

"Although the emperor has always been suspicious of me, in all fairness, he has the means and ability to govern the country than me, so he is more suitable to sit in this position."

"It's good to sit in the world, but you are imprisoned in that position."

"People will not be happy if they live in a cage, do you understand what your father meant?"

As for the information that Chen Zexuan showed him just now, he actually believed it.

But it was precisely because I believed that I tore it up at the first time.

People have desires.

The throne may be something that most people in the world dream of.

It's just that although he was not interested in it from the beginning, he was also afraid that he would be greedy for a while.

Therefore, in order to keep his heart and keep his principles, he must strangle this thought in the cradle.

If you want to own something, you have to pay a certain price with it.

And he loved freedom by nature, so that He was a constraint to him.

In addition, the emperor could not avoid asking for three thousand beauties in the harem, which violated his principle of unswerving loyalty to his feelings.

He only had Princess Nanyang in his heart, and he didn't want her to be sad.

Chen Zexuan didn't know if he was moved by the "family affection" in the words of King Nanyang, or if he was infected by this open-mindedness.

He moved his lips, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Even King Nanyang, a person who really has royal blood, doesn't fight or grab, what can he say?

If it was because of his own selfishness, in the name of fighting for the throne for the king of Nanyang, he would not be able to do this kind of "self-deception" in front of the king of Nanyang.

However, seeing that he was about to succeed, he couldn't convince himself to let him give up like this.

Caught in a dilemma, Chen Zexuan was very entangled and tormented.

Sensing that Chen Zexuan was shaken, King Nanyang patted him on the shoulder, took a step back and said, "Xuan'er, in this life, people always have to take many detours to know which path is right and which is wrong. ”

"It's not terrible to take the wrong path for a while, but it's terrible to go wrong for a lifetime."

"Father doesn't force you, you make your own decisions."

With that, he raised his feet and prepared to leave.

King Nanyang deliberately walked very slowly, and many white hairs hidden in his black hair were reflected in the sun, which was especially obvious.

pierced Chen Zexuan's eyes, and it also pierced his heart.

As expected by the King of Nanyang, Chen Zexuan called out to him: "Father." ”

King Nanyang turned around, only to see Chen Zexuan's red eyes, and only after a while did he say, "Give me one night." ”

Indoctrinated with years of hatred, that seat seems to be rightfully his.

No matter who persuaded him, it seemed useless.

But when King Nanyang said those words to him just now, his heart stretched out with infinite sadness and sadness.

Perhaps, it is because King Nanyang and Princess Nanyang, as well as Yushu, are one of the few people in the world who are sincere to him and do not ask for anything in return.

Although the king of Nanyang did not get a clear answer from Chen Zexuan, as long as he had his words, he did not rush over from Nanyang in vain this time.

"Xuan'er, my father will return to Nanyang tomorrow, if you make a decision, you will directly send someone to report to Lord Ning." With a kind smile, he turned on his horse and walked in the direction of Qi Hao's barracks.

"Father......" Chen Zexuan was stunned, chased a few steps behind the king of Nanyang who was riding away, and then stopped.

King Nanyang came and went in a hurry, which made Chen Zexuan even more sad.

This kind of sadness may be because of King Nanyang, or it may come from the death of Lei Zi last night, which made Chen Zexuan feel that the people around him were leaving him in different ways.

Gu Jinli, the relationship between brother and sister is dissolved, but she will never be a lover.

Lei Zi was killed by Mo Li.

Although the King of Nanyang and the Princess of Nanyang have not left him substantially, they are aging at a very fast speed.

When people get old, they die, and no one can escape the coming of death.

Chen Zexuan had never seriously considered the issues of birth, old age, sickness and death, but last night and today, he had to start thinking about it.

His heart seemed to be pressed by a thousand catties of giant ding, he exhaled heavily, and it took a long time to calm down and walk towards the old mansion of King Nanyang.

In the barracks, Qi Hao was waiting for the king of Nanyang with many soldiers.

"Da Da Da", when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he knew that it was the king of Nanyang who had returned.

Lifting the tent, Qi Hao walked out and helped King Nanyang get off the horse: "Uncle Wang." ”

King Nanyang walked slowly with Qi Hao into the tent, and said slowly: "This king has already made his words clear to Xuan'er, and Xuan'er said to give him another night of time to think about it. ”

Qi Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang." ”

"This king is just cleaning up the mess caused by Xuan'er, what's the hard work?" After sitting down, the king of Nanyang said again: "This king plans to leave for Nanyang tomorrow." ”

After hearing this, Qi Hao was puzzled: "Uncle Wang, what is the matter in Nanyang?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

King Nanyang shook his head, "There is nothing wrong with Nanyang, it's just that the princess and Yushu are not in good health, and this king is a little worried about them." ”

Qi Hao was moved by the deep affection of the king of Nanyang for his wife and children, and he couldn't do anything to keep it, so he could only say: "Okay, then the king of Japan will send someone to escort Uncle Wang back." ”

King Nanyang was very considerate and said: "No, your situation is special now, just go back by yourself." ”

"Okay." Although Qi Hao responded with his words, he still felt that it was better to send someone to send King Nanyang back.

After all, the king of Nanyang is old, what if something happens on the road?

Perhaps, if he was really poisoned by someone with a heart, I am afraid that Chen Zexuan will definitely go crazy.

In the old mansion of the King of Nanyang, Gu Jinli looked at the letter she had just received, and her heart was furious.

She sent professional organizations on the rivers and lakes to check Mo Li before, but she didn't expect that in addition to Mo Li, she also found something related to Chen Zexuan.

Yesterday, she had just accepted the fact that he was not the son of Emperor Feng with Chen Zexuan.

Unexpectedly, not only was he not the son of Emperor Feng, but he was also not the son of King Nanyang!

How pitiful should it be for a person who doesn't even know who he is, to be deceived three times and twice?

Gu Jinli's heart was a little flustered, and she was a little unbearable.

She didn't know whether she should tell Chen Zexuan the truth, and intellectually she was not qualified to hide it from Chen Zexuan.

But emotionally, she was afraid of hurting Chen Zexuan and couldn't accept the reality.

"Squeak", just as Gu Jinli swayed from side to side, the door was pushed open.

Gu Jinli looked at Chen Zexuan, sat up straight unconsciously, and quietly pressed the letter in her hand under the quilt: "Brother." ”

Chen Zexuan's face was not very good, he looked very tired, and there was a sense of loneliness and loneliness between his eyebrows.

Sitting in front of Gu Jinli, he looked at Gu Jinli's clear and warm eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Sheng'er, did I do something wrong?" ”

"Huh?" Sensing that Chen Zexuan's mood was wrong, Gu Jinli said tentatively: "Brother, did King Nanyang say something to you?" ”

Chen Zexuan laughed at himself and said slowly: "Father said that he has no intention of the throne, he just wants to live a peaceful and happy life in this life. ”

"He said I ...... This path is wrong, and it wants me to turn back in time. ”

If he hadn't received the letter, maybe Gu Jinli would have remained neutral about King Nanyang's opinion.

But now, she just wants to say that the king of Nanyang is right!

From beginning to end, Chen Zexuan was wrong!

However, it is not his fault, but Mo Li's fault!

It was Mo Li, who led the innocent him to this road of revenge!

Biting her lip, Gu Jinli pretended to be brave and asked, "Then brother, do you want to get lost?" ”

"I ......" Chen Zexuan opened his mouth, and then laughed at himself: "I have no way out, don't I?" ”

"No, you have!" With burning eyes, Gu Jinli didn't want Chen Zexuan to continue to suffer, so she pulled out the pile of letter paper from the quilt and stuffed it into his hand, and said in a cold tone: "Brother, a few days ago, while you were investigating Master, I also sent someone to investigate. ”

"Master is the high priest of the Feng Kingdom, and it is true that he is the national master of the Yun Kingdom, but your life experience is not so simple."

Chen Zexuan's body trembled, clutching the letter paper tightly, and his face turned obviously pale: "I am the prince of Nanyang." ”

"Brother, let's take a look for myself." Gu Jinli couldn't bear to look at Chen Zexuan anymore, but looked away.

The truth is always much crueler than imagination.

More than 20 years ago, King Nanyang and Princess Nanyang, who had a big belly, went to Yunguo as guests at the insistence of the old emperor of Qiguo.

And at that time, the queen of Yunguo was about to give birth.

Because of Mo Li's "deliberate" artificiality, the two children were born on the same day.

Initially, Mo Li lied to Chen Zexuan that he was the prince of Fengguo at the beginning, and he was changed into Nanyang Mansion by Mo Li from danger.

In fact, Chen Zexuan is the prince of Yunguo, and he was lost by Mo Li and the real prince of Nanyang.

In other words, the real prince of Nanyang is the prince of Yunguo who has been stupid since he was born!

As for why Mo Li wanted to deceive Chen Zexuan, I am afraid that Chen Zexuan thought that he was the son of Emperor Feng and became a tool for Mo Li to take revenge and destroy the country.

Moreover, if the crown prince of Yun Kingdom is a fool, it will be much easier to deal with Mo Li in the future than it is to deal with Chen Zexuan.

In fact, Mo Li didn't have to do this to drop the two children back then, but directly poisoned the real prince of Yunguo, so that he didn't have to harm the other child.

However, if this is the case, then Mo Li will not be able to use the old grudges between Feng and Qi to pull Qi Guo down this troubled water.

Therefore, one of the two children must be the unwarranted "Prince of Fengguo".

I have to say that Mo Li has taken such a lot of pains, and he is indeed scheming.

It's really hard for ordinary people's brains to turn their faces.

In comparison, Chen Zexuan should be the lucky child in misfortune.

At least, he wasn't the one who had been stupid and crazy since childhood.

On the other hand, however, he may be unlucky.

Although the stupid prince is a pitiful worm in the eyes of many people, he just lives in his own world, and he doesn't have to pay attention to other people's calculations and uses, and he doesn't have to care about the opinions of this world.

When you are happy, you smirk, and when you are unhappy, you are angry.

Unscrupulous, happy to live, who knows whether this is fortunate or unfortunate?

The hatred in his eyes turned into two cold knives, and Chen Zexuan's hand holding the letter paper was trembling.

Gu Jinli empathized with Chen Zexuan's anger.

A person's birth cannot be decided.

You can't choose who your parents are, you can't choose whether your family background is prominent or poor.

However, you have the right to decide what kind of life you want to live.

Or prosaic, or earth-shattering.

Everyone's fate should be in their own hands, not controlled and arranged by others.

If Chen Zexuan hadn't been dropped at the beginning, his childhood might have been happy and relaxed.

When he becomes an adult, with that seven-trick heart, he will definitely be a qualified prince.

And the stupid prince who should have been the prince of the king of Nanyang may learn to read and write, play the piano and play chess, and arrange the art of war under the influence of the king of Nanyang since he was a child, and become a prince who is both civil and military......

It's just that there are no ifs in this world.

It's like that as people grow up, they can only go all the way forward, not backward.

Mo Li changed the fate of the two people, not only using Chen Zexuan to deal with Qi Guo, but also delusionally swallowing Yun Guo!

A man of great sin like him deserves death!

Thinking that the biological son of King Nanyang and Princess Nanyang was a fool, Chen Zexuan's heart became more and more sad and indignant.

He has suffered under the "domination" of hatred for more than ten years, yes, but fortunately, he still has the warmth of King Nanyang.

And the poor stupid prince has never enjoyed a day of affection between the Nanyang King and his wife.

"Sheng'er, I must kill him!" Gritting his teeth, the green tendons on Chen Zexuan's forehead were beating faintly, and every word was full of hatred for Mo Li.

"Brother, killing him is for sure, but now we still have to solve Qi Hao's problem." Gu Jinli pulled the letter paper out of Chen Zexuan's hand, then walked to the incense burner, opened the lid, and put the letter paper in.

After the paper completely turned into gray ashes, she turned around and asked softly, "You are not the prince of Fengguo, so you don't have to bear the heavy responsibility of recovering the country." ”

"You are not the prince of Nanyang Wang, you don't have to take back the throne for Nanyang King."

"You are the prince of Yunguo, do you feel the need to go to war with Qi Hao?"

Seeing Chen Zexuan's face stiffen, Gu Jinli saw through his thoughts at a glance, and sighed lightly: "Brother, I am telling you this, not for Qi Hao, but simply to stand in my brother's position." ”

"Brother, I don't interfere with your decisions, I just hope you can follow your heart."

"Have you been happy all these years?"

Seeing Chen Zexuan pursing his lips and being silent, Gu Jinli whispered: "I know you are unhappy, so I hope you can choose your life again and live happily like a normal person." ”

Lowering her eyes, she continued: "Actually, I wasn't happy at all until I regained my memory. ”

"Every day I open my eyes and close my eyes, my mind is full of revenge, I am tired and depressed."

"After recovering my memory, although I am very angry that you lied to me, I am also much more relaxed."

"Because I know that some of the things you're talking about don't exist."

"I don't have to think about things that don't exist."

"It's true that I'm the princess of Fengguo, but ...... But all the way to now, revenge is not so important to me anymore. ”

"My mother is dead, and it is impossible for Feng Guo to come back, so what is the point of my revenge?"

She said so much, and every sentence came from the bottom of her heart.

If she had said it before, she would not have had such a deep understanding.

But Chen Zexuan's life experience somehow touched a certain string in her heart.

With a flick of "Zheng", after the haze blocking her heart dissipated, her whole person suddenly brightened.

Right now, as long as you get rid of Mo Li, the great villain, there is nothing else to ask for for the time being.

As for the relationship between her and Qi Hao, everything is fate.

Maybe, there are no people or things worth nostalgia in Qi Country, and she may take three maids to wander the world.

Chen Zexuan didn't speak for a long time, and just when Gu Jinli felt that he might have said too much and made Chen Zexuan unhappy, he heard him say in a deep voice: "United Qi Hao and let the Eighth Prince step down." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli was stunned and looked at the door.

The Eighth Prince, who stretched out his hand to push the door, suddenly froze in mid-air.

The eyes of the three collided invisibly, and the air was streaked with embarrassment.
