In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of the West Palace, was eight months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

"You teamed up with Concubine Xu to charm the emperor, connived at the palace people to steal, violated the palace rules, and defiled the court." Empress Xia Xizhi didn't give Concubine Su a chance to argue, and scolded loudly: "Come on, slap her mouth!" ”

What is the danger of adding to the sin?

was slandered and hated in his heart, and he saw that Concubine Su was beaten, but he couldn't fight back. Xu Guifei was angry, the fetus in her womb moved uneasily, she couldn't support it, and slowly squatted on the ground, holding her abdomen in her hands, trying to calm her anger.

"Concubine Xu, what's wrong with you?" When Imperial Concubine Su saw that Xu Guifei's face was pale, she was startled, pushed away those palace people, and rushed over to help her desperately.

"Whoever dares to touch her, this palace will be punished together."

"Concubine Xu is the emperor's dragon seed in her belly, and no one can afford to take care of what happens."

Regardless of the queen's anger, Imperial Concubine Su helped Xu Guifei back to the dormitory.

Due to the tire gas, Xu Guifei gave birth that night.

Taking advantage of Emperor Hong's departure from the palace, Empress Xia deliberately made a plan to let Concubine Xu slip the tire. Who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and she actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her brother Xiangye and Chi Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was executed by General Chi.

At the critical moment, General Chi gave up the idea of harming the prince, and planned to exchange his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

On the carved bed, there are two baby boys and Xu Guifei, whose face is as pale as paper. She had just given birth and was weak.

"Mother, move fast."

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word 'heaven' on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled with her hands and hung a dragon-shaped jade pendant for the prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and this is the only one in the world today.

"Niangniang, the minister must be desperate to protect the prince, you can rest assured."

Holding the baby boy, Xu Guifei's long eyelashes were full of tears, and she couldn't help trembling, but not a drop was shed.

The pupils looked helplessly and pityingly at the baby, and with their dry pale lips, they carefully kissed the baby's face.

"Hongu just wants to see this kid more. After that, I can't see it. ”

He reached out and stroked the baby's cheek before holding the child to Chi Xiang.

"Take this kid away."

Concubine Xu Guifei knelt down to Chi Xiang, her face was full of tears, and her voice was desperate and resolute: "General Chi, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay you in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, I can't help it, please ......get up quickly, please get up quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chi picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He expressed his intention to Concubine Xu and wanted to take her away, but she didn't agree. She told Feng Nanyang that the prince was taken away by General Chi, and the prince had the word 'heaven' tattooed on his left shoulder and a royal jade pendant on his body. In the future, you can recognize Emperor Hong with these two points.

Feng Nanyang heard the chaotic footsteps outside, picked up General Chi's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. In addition, the whereabouts of General Chi Xiang are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chi Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down General Chi Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has never been able to find out the truth, Chi Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to chase Chi Xiang, Chi Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to find you and General Chi for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came a step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chi. In a panic, the minister rescued General Chi's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.
