Chapter 121: Exchange

Almost immediately, the emperor thought of the He family, and after secretly guarding He Xiangshan's whereabouts for the past two days, the emperor made a decision in his heart.

This child can't be kept.

When he first ascended the throne, it was a time of instability, and if another heir of the former prince appeared at this time, he was afraid that it would cause chaos.

Even if the child is still in infancy and has no power to fight, what about the future?

He has the purest blood of the royal lineage flowing in his body, and if he grows up in the future, he has the heart to regain the throne that belongs to the lineage......

The emperor suddenly saw a murderous opportunity in his eyes, and he was about to send someone to do it, but at this time, He Xiangshan entered the palace and asked to see the emperor.

Signaling the secret guard to retreat for the time being, the emperor met with He Xiangshan in a hurry: "He Qing entered the palace in such a hurry, but what is the matter?" ”

He asked casually, but after this carelessness, it was murderous and hidden.

He Xiangshan was in a hurry, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground: "The minister has a matter, think about it, and don't dare to hide the saint." ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingertips behind him twisted slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's the daughter of the former prince......"

"The daughter of the first prince?" The Emperor's voice was puzzled.

"Yes." He Xiangshan took out the crown princess and his handwritten book from his arms and presented them to the emperor.

The emperor unfolded it and looked at it, and his heart couldn't help but feel relieved. It turned out to be a daughter...... It made him nervous in vain.

He did not doubt the authenticity of this handwriting, the handwriting left by the crown princess when she was alive was not difficult to find, as long as it was compared a little, he could know the authenticity.

If He Xiangshan dared to take this to him, he would really be impatient.

However, this He Xiangshan is much more sincere than he thought, and the princess's handwritten letter is full of wariness of the royal family, and he takes it out like this, but he is not afraid of his anger.

The emperor pretended to be surprised: "The crown princess has already given birth that day?" In this way, the prince still has his bloodline alive, which is really lucky! ”

"In this case, He Qing will send the child to the palace as soon as possible...... No, ......," the emperor stood up and hurriedly said, "I will send someone to pick it up myself." ”

Then the emperor will call someone in.

He Xiangshan raised his head and said, "Sage is slow." ”

The emperor's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked at He Xiangshan who was kneeling down with displeasure: "He Qing still has something to say?" ”

He Xiangshan took a deep breath and said, "The sage should have seen the contents of the crown princess's suicide note. ”

"Ling Jiang now has no parents to protect her, and the crown princess is not worried that she is alone in the royal family, so she entrusts it to Weichen, and wishes her to stay away from the royal family and grow longer than the He family......"

The emperor couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, this He Xiangshan really dared to speak, he dared to say such a criticism of the royal family, he was looking at his first ascension to the throne, and he didn't dare to attack the He family?

He lowered his face and said coldly: "He Qing, you have exceeded the rules. ”

"Although the crown prince and princess are gone, this child is the blood of my Great Zhou royal family, my niece, and the princess of Great Zhou, how can there be any reason to be left outside? Even though you are the child's uncle, you have no way to say anything about it. ”

In the end, the emperor's words were full of warnings.

He Xiangshan looked unafraid: "The minister knows that this child is the blood of the royal family, but in the eyes of the world, the child in the princess's womb has passed away with her." Even if she is hugged back now, it is difficult to stop rumors from spreading, and there are waves in her life. ”

"In that case, why not uphold the princess's last wish, let this child grow up in the He family, and be an idle and wealthy noble daughter from now on?"

The emperor sneered: "What? Do you think it's better to be the princess of this big week, than to be the noble daughter of your He family? ”

"Yes." He Xiangshan knelt down straight and said, "Although the princess of Da Zhou is noble, she has no father and no mother, even if the saint treats her well, but in this huge palace, she is just a lonely and poor person." ”

"But if she arrives at the He family, after that, the minister is not her uncle, but her own father, and the minister's wife Song is her real mother. What's so bad about being a loving and friendly daughter of the He family? ”

With a "bang", the emperor casually picked up the tea cup on the table and slammed it in front of He Xiangshan, and the fine celadon cup shattered into tens of millions of petals on the ground, and the splashed fragments even cut He Xiangshan's face.

"He Xiangshan, you really dare to say it!" The Emperor laughed angrily.

In the court, there are a lot of constraints and open and secret battles, he grew up in the palace, and naturally has a deep understanding.

The one who dares to say this bluntly in front of the emperor is He Xiangshan.

He Xiangshan knelt down and pleaded guilty: "It's the minister who has exceeded the rules." Kechen just wants to follow the last wish of the crown princess, let this child grow up happily and happily like an ordinary child, and ask the saint for forgiveness. ”

The emperor looked at He Xiangshan, who was lying on the ground, and was silent.

He thought that this child was a boy, so naturally he couldn't keep it. But now that she is only a daughter, there is no need to take her life.

As for what happened to this child, he didn't really care.

As He Xiangshan said, in the eyes of the world, the child in the crown princess's womb has died. In that case, why bother to make another move to justify her?

It's just that if He Xiangshan wants to get his wish, he can't do it if he doesn't want to pay some price.

The emperor's fingertips tapped on the tabletop, lowered his eyes and looked at He Xiangshan, only silent, and the hall was so quiet that he could hear the sound of sunlight falling on the ground through the window lattice.

He Xiangshan's breathing was slightly heavy, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at the emperor: "Sage, the minister asks for resignation, and takes the He clan to return to his ancestral hometown of Linchuan, and hopes that the sage will be favorable." ”

The emperor smiled in his heart, but his face was puzzled: "At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, He Qing is going to resign and return, what is the reason?" ”

He Xiangshan lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The minister does not dare to have any disrespectful meaning. The He family originally started in Linchuan, since the fall of the previous dynasty, the ancestors had an order, and the He family should be settled here. ”

"Later, my father was unwilling to do this, and led his clan into Yingdu, and by chance, a princess came out of the family, and the He family took root in Yingdu."

"After this chaos, the vitality of the He clan was greatly damaged, so the ministers discussed with the clan elders that they should follow the orders of their ancestors and return to their ancestral homeland to recuperate."

"So?" The emperor smiled leisurely, "Although I value He Qing's talents, if you really insist on doing so, it will be difficult for me to keep them." ”

The implication is that it is accurate, so refreshing.

He Xiangshan understood, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for the grace of the saint." ”

"The daughter of the former prince ......"

"What is the daughter of the first prince?" The emperor doubted, "From now on, there will only be the seventh lady of your He family in this world." ”

If the He family wants to raise this child, then she can only be the He family from now on, and there will be no such person in the royal family.

He Xiangshan walked out of the hall, and as soon as the cold wind blew, he realized that he was already sweating.

If it weren't for the surviving old lady who was next to the crown princess who secretly sent him a message, he would have thought that the emperor didn't know about it.

He Shi and Ling Jiang Ruo want to retreat with their whole body, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Now, although he has moved back to the He clan in exchange, this is also his consideration. In this subordinate now, the He family's strong stay may not end well, so it is better to return here.

It's a pity that the old lady still lost her life in the end.
