Chapter 146

But didn't the prince die more than ten years ago? The ministers whispered.

"Thanks to the Prime Minister, he is still alive." The Queen Mother's words revealed a hint of resentment.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and they all turned their heads to look at the prime minister to see how he would respond.

"What the Queen Mother said is true." Prime Minister Yun said lightly. The prime minister was not surprised that the Queen Mother would know about the relationship between him and Zhan Long, after all, with the heart of Zhan Long, it was impossible for him to stand by and watch when the Queen Mother's life was at stake, as long as they met, it was natural to talk about what happened after he escaped death. Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall. "It's a pity that the Queen Mother knows one but doesn't know the other." The prime minister paused for a moment and continued. Hearing this, the Queen Mother was stunned, and the emperor smiled, and his face became a little gloomy. "Why didn't the Queen Mother invite him to listen to Marshal An tell you the hidden truth?"

Before the queen mother came to her senses, the emperor asked people to pass on the prince's blessing to enter the palace. There were many elderly civil and military officials present, but because Zhan Long lived in the palace when he was young, few people had seen him, so no one could recognize him at this time. Even so, they were convinced that this dignified and extraordinary young man must be the right man of Youwang, because the majesty of the king revealed between his eyebrows was the same as that of the previous emperor. It is rumored that Prince You is very handsome, and now that he can see it, he really deserves his name, and everyone exclaimed in their hearts. In the midst of admiration, the prime minister and the queen mother were extremely silent, they fixed their eyes on the war dragon, and their hearts were mixed.

"Meet the Imperial Brother." The war dragon stopped beside the prime minister, just bowed to the emperor, and had no intention of kneeling.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled again and said gently: "No need to be polite. ”

The war dragon secretly adjusted his internal breath and stood up straight, inadvertently exuding an air of pride. That night, when parting, Prince Rong told Zhan Long that what he had taken that day was not a real bone erosion, but a poison that closed the internal force, and as for the antidote, he had already mixed people into the pills given to him to treat asthma, and he only needed to take all the pills, and his internal cultivation could be restored to the same as before.

"I didn't expect you to save the medicine for this day." Rong Wang Ye said in disappointment.

"I never suspected that you were adulterated in medicine. At that time, I had lost all my internal strength, and if you wanted to take my life, how could I leave easily. The war dragon replied quietly.

Listening to the words of the war dragon, Prince Rong smiled heartily and disappeared into the night sky in a blink of an eye. Sure enough, as Lord Rong said, after the war dragon swallowed the remaining pills, in less than half a pillar of incense, the dusty internal force continued to pour out from the depths of the dantian, turning into a warm current flowing around the body, and for a while the war dragon felt refreshed, like a spring breeze. When the internal force ran to his feet, he felt a little warmth in his cold and stiff feet, so he took the opportunity to seal part of the internal force under his knees, allowing it to rush open the blocked meridians and expel the damp and cold evil qi that was condensed in them. After two days, the war dragon was able to walk on the ground, although it was not as vigorous as before, and even a little unstable, but he didn't care. With the depth of his internal strength, over time, such injuries will heal without medicine.

"Brother Youhuang is already here, An Aiqing might as well have something to say." The emperor moved his gaze to An Dingguo and asked leisurely.

An Dingguo stepped forward in response and began to tell everyone about the past more than ten years ago. An Dingguo was originally a member of the fierce generals under the command of the Protector of the Country, and the Protector saw that he had the style of a general when he was young, and he was loyal and loved him very much, so he wanted to cultivate it well, and handed over his military power to him in a timely manner. An Dingguo deeply felt his kindness, and since then, he has been fighting in the south and the north, serving the imperial court, and not daring to slack off for a moment. Finally, he ascended to the position of marshal with the gradually growing An Jiajun and brilliant military achievements, but looking back, he found that the protector was close to his last years, and he had not repaid him, and he felt remorse. That year, after the Duke of Protector learned that the imperial concubine was happy, he invited him to the mansion in the name of reminiscing about the past.

"After fighting with the queen for a long time, the little girl has been exhausted, and even if she can give birth to a child safely this time, I am afraid she will not be able to protect her. After thinking about it for a while, the little girl thought that only by secretly sending the child out of the palace could she avoid being poisoned by the Rong family. At present, the people of the clan are unstable, and the old man is afraid that someone will use the name of this child to rebel, so he must not let them know about it. The Lord Protector sighed, and asked in a trembling voice: "Although the world is big, you are the only one who can be trusted." Dingguo, are you willing to raise your grandchildren for your old husband? ”

An Dingguo knew that this matter was very important, and if he was not careful, he would cause a catastrophe, however, he didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed to it. "The subordinates are willing to fight to settle down and fill the door to ensure that this child is safe, please rest assured!" An Dingguo held the hand of the protector tightly and swore an oath.

After An Dingguo returned home, he informed his wife of the matter in great detail, and begged her to pretend to be pregnant for three months, so that the blood of the imperial concubine could appear in the marshal's mansion in a few months. His wife understood the righteousness and agreed. On the night when the imperial concubine gave birth to a child, An Dingguo sneaked into the palace alone, and took the little prince back to the mansion to hide, half a month later, Marshal An announced that he had won Lin'er again, and the marshal's mansion was full of lights and celebrations, so who could have thought that the second young master of the An family was actually the flesh and blood of the imperial concubine?

After listening to An Dingguo's words, Zhan Long's heart was shocked: No wonder I had a sense of déjà vu when I first saw General An Shao, it turned out that he was my blood brother...... The war dragon quietly looked around for An Ruiqi's figure, but found nothing.

The Queen Mother glared at An Dingguo with sharp eyes and asked, "Since you have taken the little prince out of the palace, who gave birth to the baby in the imperial concubine's bedroom?" Hearing this, the ministers nodded yes one after another. Although Uncle Rong Guo has great powers, it is not easy for him to find another baby boy to pretend to be the son of the imperial concubine for a while, besides, what benefit does this have for him?

An Dingguo was furious when he heard this, and was about to make a rebuttal, but was persuaded by the prime minister: "Marshal An, please let the old minister explain on his behalf." ”

"How did the prime minister find out about this?" The emperor supported his chin with his hand and looked at the prime minister with interest, but his eyes were clearly questioning why he knew and did not report it.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister was ordered by the first emperor to secretly assist Marshal An to protect the little prince. Now that the disaster of the court has been eliminated, the little prince no longer has the risk of his life, and the old minister can finally make this matter public. The prime minister replied calmly.

"There is no basis for words." The Queen Mother sneered.

"The old minister has a secret letter from the emperor in his hand, please take a look at it." After speaking, the prime minister took out a yellowed letter from his sleeve and presented it respectfully with both hands.

After the emperor read the letter several times, he handed it to the queen mother, and saw that her face turned blue after reading the letter, and then he had to admit that this letter was indeed written by the first emperor himself. "The letter mentioned that the first emperor and the imperial concubine had given the emperor's younger brother a piece of jade pendant as a token to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, where are these jade pendants now?" The emperor asked, sitting upright.

"Naturally, it's in the hands of General An Shao." The prime minister smiled triumphantly.

"So...... So what about Ayou, who are his biological parents? Thinking that the child she had raised for ten years was not the blood of the first emperor, the queen mother was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears.

The war dragon tried his best to suppress the sadness in his heart, and faced everyone's doubtful gaze with an indifferent attitude.
