The dark tide was surging in the Jinluan Palace, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, only Zhou Dui's heart was clear, and Zhou Xing and his henchmen were too happy.

Looking at Emperor Chengde on the dragon throne again, after observing the various expressions of the courtiers, he said slowly and logically: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is also a good day for family reunion, I want to announce a good news to everyone."

As soon as the ministers heard that Emperor Chengde had good news announced, they all looked forward to it.

If Emperor Chengde can call it good news, it must be amazing news.

It seems that Emperor Chengde has been on the throne for more than ten years, and he has never said anything about "announcing good news" in the early dynasty.

However, Emperor Cheng De seemed to not see the expectations in everyone's eyes, and sold enough.

Chi Ge Lao waited for a while and then lost his patience, so he simply asked, "Dare to ask what kind of good news Your Majesty wants to announce?"

Emperor Chengde was waiting for someone to ask him, his gaze inadvertently swept over Zhou Du's face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise: "I don't know if Zhong Aiqing still remembers the major change I experienced when I was still the crown prince twenty years ago."

As soon as Emperor Chengde said this, the audience was silent.

How did the people not know about the old thing? Empress Shungong died in that accident, and the eldest prince was born without breath, and Emperor Chengde lost his wife and son that year and suffered a heavy blow.

After Emperor Chengde ascended the throne, no one dared to mention the tragic old incident of that year.

At this time, Emperor Chengde revealed his wounds, which made people scratch their heads and was also weird.

Could it be that the good news that Emperor Chengde said is related to the old incident back then?

Everyone only dared to speculate in their hearts, but no one dared to answer.

Emperor Chengde's gaze was fixed on Zhou Du's body again, and he remembered the dying appearance of this child when he was born, like a kitten, only a little bigger.

Now he has grown into a man who stands tall in the sky, and his stature is even taller than him.

"When my eldest son was born, he lost his breath, and my heart ached, I thought that this child would be like that......

When Emperor Chengde said this, the ministers suddenly noticed something.

Zhou Xing's pupils constricted, and he looked at Emperor Cheng De in disbelief.

"Fortunately, that child had a big life, broke through on the edge of life and death, and now he has grown up. I thought that in a few days, I would officially let that child be included in the royal family tree." Emperor Cheng De then threw a heavy bomb, which blew up everyone present beyond recognition.

King Zhao was not present with these people's fancy intestines, so he stepped forward and asked when he had questions, "Father means that the eldest brother is still alive?!"

This was the question of everyone present, but no one dared to be as ignorant as King Zhao. The first is afraid of touching the sadness of Emperor Chengde, the second is afraid that it will be wrong, and the third is afraid of offending Zhou Xing.

But when King Zhao asked, it was different.

"yes, your eldest brother is still alive. Then pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, and let him be included in the family tree." There were tears in Emperor Chengde's eyes, flickering faintly.

Taishi Wei also eased up at this time, and he was extremely excited: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is really still alive?!"

If that's the case, that's great.

The crown prince is a long and long-standing heir, so that the prince is a serious royal bloodline.

Zhou Xing's hands and feet were cold, and at this moment, he felt that the voices in the court were suddenly far away, and he only heard the sound of his chaotic heartbeat.

Originally, the position of the crown prince was in his pocket, but he never expected that an eldest son would emerge. Didn't that person die twenty years ago, why did he suddenly appear to compete with him for the position of prince?

His heart was like a pan of oil and tumbling, but his face couldn't show it, he just looked blankly at a certain place in front of him.

"That's all right with that kid." Emperor Chengde looked at the ministers in the hall who were talking about it, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Master Wei's heart was surging, and he couldn't help but ask, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where is Your Highness now?!"

He asked this question to everyone's heart.

If the eldest prince is still alive, why not just bring people to the court?

Only the character of Emperor De is impossible to take the royal family

The bloodline laughed, and it was brought up on such a big day.

"Wei Qing doesn't need to be in a hurry, everyone will see my son soon, come here today, retreat from the court." Emperor Chengde said, waved his dragon sleeves, and left the Jinluan Hall in a dashing manner.

Leaving a group of ministers looking at each other, they were all wondering how the eldest prince, who had been dead for twenty years, could suddenly come back to life, and he didn't show up directly, let them guess.

The mood of the crowd is actually very complicated.

After all, before today, everyone didn't know that the eldest prince was still alive, and everyone felt that the crown prince was in Zhou Xing's pocket.

Suddenly, a big prince appeared, and he was a son-in-law, if he really wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, wouldn't the position of the crown prince have to fall into the hands of the eldest prince?

So, everyone was quietly looking at Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing received strange looks from the ministers, and those courtiers who usually ran behind his ass did not come to him at this time.

It was like a fire burning in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it.

He walked out of the Taihe Hall in a daze and wanted to find Concubine Xian, but at this juncture, I don't know how many people were staring at his actions, and he couldn't mess up at this time.

In the end, with the last bit of reason, he went out of the palace.

Zhou Du watched Zhou Xing walk away in despair, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

At this time, Mai Shangshu chased after him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that His Highness, who had disappeared for twenty years, was still alive? Your Majesty is too tolerant, since His Highness is still alive, why don't you let His Highness return to the palace sooner?"

Could it be that His Majesty has never been crowned the crown prince, and what he is waiting for is His Royal Highness?

Zhou Dui's expression was faint and he didn't answer.

Mai Shangshu said to himself, "I don't know what kind of person His Highness is? Could it be that you have already entered Beijing? By the way, since His Majesty knows that His Highness is still alive, he must have been secretly in contact for a long time, right?"

Zhou Du glanced at Mai Shangshu before saying, "The lower official will take the first step and take his leave."

Mai Shangshu watched Zhou Dui walk away, and secretly muttered to himself why Zhou Dui was not curious about where the eldest prince was now, what kind of temperament he had, and what his appearance was?

He was curious.

Zhou Du walked far away, and heard everyone discussing the eldest prince.

Wanqinghou was even more surrounded by everyone, after all, Emperor Chengde's most trusted courtier was Wanqinghou, and he might tell Wanqinghou any secrets.

If you really want to find someone who knows the identity of the eldest prince, then it is right to find Wanqinghou.

Wan Qinghou has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and naturally he also learned to play Tai Chi.

Emperor Chengde did not officially announce Zhou Du's identity today, and he naturally can't say that Zhou Du is the Great Highness that everyone is looking for.

Later, he pretended to have something to do to face the saint, so that he had to get out of the encirclement of his colleagues.
