Chapter 138: The Hidden Secret
Xiao Linglong knew that she didn't go to the table, so she said loudly, "Liar!" You haven't found me yet! ”
After saying that, he was annoyed that he had exposed his position, and covered his mouth unhappily.
"Your Highness the princess is hiding under the table of the Holy One, and I have seen the corner of your skirt." Lu Zhan stopped as soon as he entered the house, but he didn't really see her skirt, but he hoped that she would come out soon, so he had to say so.
Finally, after Lu Zhan stopped talking, Xiao Linglong blushed delicately, got out of the table in annoyance, and stood in front of the table and looked at her sweetheart coquettishly.
"Humph! It's really boring, Brother Zixing is cheating! ”
A 12-year-old girl, when her love first opened, looking at the inside and outside of the capital, in addition to being talented and good-looking, and more powerful than her princes and brothers, she really looked down on others.
Xiao Linglong stared at the unsmiling young man in the distance for a long time, and finally pouted, stomped her feet coquettishly, and reluctantly walked over from the table.
But she didn't expect her to flick her sleeves arrogantly, and the complicated and gorgeous sleeves actually knocked several books in front of the case to the ground.
"Ah~" She is the only one who loves the palace, but she also knows that it is very scary for her father to lose his temper.
Seeing this, Lu Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and helped pick up the fold, wanting to restore the desktop to its original state.
In addition to the folds, there is also a portrait, a portrait of a woman.
Xiao Linglong curiously picked up the portrait and looked at it a few times, feeling that she didn't seem to know the person on the painting.
"Humph! It must be someone who doesn't open his eyes, wants to charm the saint, and actually sandwiches the portrait of a woman in his father's recital! Xiao Linglong said angrily.
"Princess Shenyan!" As soon as they finished saying this, the two of them heard the voice of someone coming in behind them.
Lu Zhan knew that it should be the emperor who had returned, and seeing that the current situation could not be cleaned up, he directly turned around and knelt down and asked the saint to punish him.
"What's going on? Why do I have to kneel when I come? "The emperor's liking for land warfare is not fake.
"The courtier played with the princess and knocked over the saint's recital, and asked the saint to punish him."
The Emperor looked at the books and recitals in that place, and said lightly, "When should I be, nothing will happen." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Linglong, who was holding the portrait, remembered that her mother said that her father hadn't seen her for a long time, so she took the painting confidently and walked to her dear father, and said coquettishly, "Father, who is painted on it?" How is it that the daughter has never seen her in the harem? ”
The emperor's face, which was still very kind just now, instantly darkened when he saw the painting in her hand.
"Nonsense!" The emperor took the portrait from his daughter's hand and angrily reprimanded.
"Father?" Xiao Linglong didn't expect that her father didn't blame Lu Zhan, but she lost her temper, and she was shocked for a while, and the portrait in her hand staggered to the ground, just falling in front of Lu Zhan's eyes.
It was only then that Lu Zhan saw this small portrait, it was a beautiful woman, the black ink roughly outlined the lines of the woman, but the face was particularly vivid.
Looking at this paper imprint, it seems to be a new work.
But the more he looked, the more familiar it felt.
Just when he was puzzled, he saw the emperor walk up to him and bend down to pick it up himself. Lu Zhan picked up the painting and presented it to the emperor with both hands.
The emperor held the painting in one hand, looked at the young man in front of him who looked up at him, and sighed secretly in his heart, like, too similar.
Lu Zhan looked at the emperor who had always called him his uncle, and seemed to look at him and fell into memory.
A signal suddenly exploded in his head, and he finally understood why the portrait felt so familiar to him.
Because the woman in the painting is actually three points like herself, in other words, the woman in the painting is 100% like the portrait of her mother hidden in her father's study!
Realizing this, Lu Zhan's mind was blank for a moment, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
The warm voice of the emperor above came, "Get up." ”
Lu Zhan reflexively leaned down, "The courtiers don't dare." ”
The emperor sensed his abnormality, sighed in one breath, and said slowly, "That's right, that's your mother. ”
※
Hearing Lu Zhan talk about this, Xu Miaoyun looked at her like a demented person, and said in disbelief, "You.... You wouldn't be the emperor's illegitimate son, would you? ”
Lu Zhan's face darkened suddenly.
"No, it won't, right? Did I guess it's heavy? ”
Wow, I not only found a general, but also a prince, according to the general plot, it is the drama of the exiled general and the prince ascending the throne! Xu Miaoyun was also a little unconvinced.
"Wow! Don't be disrespectful to my mother! Lu Zhan raised his hand and patted Xu Miaoyun's head slightly.
"Oh~"
Xu Miaoyun rubbed her head, it seemed that she had guessed wrong. But after thinking about it carefully, fortunately, she guessed wrong, she didn't want to be a queen at all, and she had to face the scene of three thousand beauties in the harem and sharing her husband with others!
In fact, on that day, the land battle in the imperial study also had the same idea as Xu Miaoyun. Because this explains why his father was cold to him, but the emperor was kind to him for many years.
But at that time, he didn't dare to ask the emperor for verification, or he didn't want to ask the emperor for verification. After all, for him at a young age, this is an unacceptable thing.
It wasn't until later, when he gradually reduced the number of times he entered the palace and became more and more indifferent to the emperor, that the emperor spoke first and told the truth that was not complicated.
When he was a teenager, the emperor who was still the prince fell in love with Lu Zhan's mother, but he was struggling to compete for the throne and needed the support of the family, so he could only marry the daughter of a powerful minister.
When he ascended to the throne and had supreme power, Lu Zhan's mother had already married Lu Zhan's father, Lu Zhennian, the son of Lu Guogongfu at the time.
If this is the case, in fact, it will be fine, but on the contrary, at the palace banquet one night, the emperor was drunk, and in the face of his beloved concubine, he actually called out the nickname of Lu Zhan's mother.
And at this moment, Lu Zhennian, who was sitting directly below, suddenly came to the emperor's eye. Looking at the emperor's flustered eyes, thinking of the emperor's various nominal rewards since his wife became pregnant, Lu Zhennian had a thorn in his heart,
After the banquet, Lu Zhennian returned home and went to question his wife, who was 8 months pregnant at the time.
Lu Zhennian, who was drunk, bluntly asked: Whether the child in his arms is the emperor's species.
During the quarrel, Lu Zhan's mother was very angry, and she was born prematurely that night and died.
The emperor who heard the bad news on the second day was also very sad.
In a fit of anger, he ordered Lu Zhennian to carry the newborn into the palace and confess his relatives with blood in front of him, so as to wash away the grievances of Lu Zhan's mother.
The emperor at that time wanted to kill Lu Zhennian, but looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, he deeply blamed himself for his momentary drunken gaffe, causing him to lose his mother, how could he take away his father, so he forgot it after a small punishment.
As a result, a situation was formed in which Lu Zhan was not favored by his father when he was a child, but he was deeply cared for by the emperor.
The death of Lu Zhan's mother was caused by these two men, one of whom could not love, and the other who did not love.
At that time, when he knew the truth, he was not only disheartened by his father's true heart, but also hated the emperor in every way.
So, he went out of the capital single-handedly and ran to the northernmost part of Xiao State to be a nameless little soldier.
