Bian Gong's fair people went to Anfumen to kneel down and beg the current saint to release the innocent prince, but in fact, they were confused by a rumor.

"What rumors?"

Emperor Xuanyuan, who had heard too many rumors recently, still couldn't help but ask.

Father Bian, who swallowed what he said, looked at Emperor Xuanyuan's expression, and told him in a slow voice that Shangjing City has been spreading wildly recently, and the Nineteenth Prince is the illegitimate son of the current saint, the real prince of Yan Zhou.

It's just that his mother's status is low, coupled with the fact that the current saint was young and ignorant at that time, and the emperor had the will to make the current saint the crown prince, so he suppressed this scandal.

When Emperor Xuanyuan heard Bian Gonggong's story, his face turned green, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.

"Presumptuous, what kind of person dares to slander me, slander me?"

Gonggong Bian, who was angry with Emperor Xuanyuan, swallowed a mouthful of water again, and said that there were rumors that there was something even more excessive.

There was even something more excessive than slandering the Nineteenth Prince as his own birth, Emperor Xuanyuan was so angry that he stood up directly, and asked Gonggong Bian condescendingly: "What other rumors did they spread?"

Hanging his head, he didn't dare to look at Emperor Xuanyuan's father-in-law, who seemed to be very afraid, but he told Emperor Xuanyuan very neatly that it was still crazy outside, and the first queen Tuoba Lan did not reproach Emperor Xuanyuan after knowing that the nineteenth prince was born to Emperor Xuanyuan, but was relieved and sympathetic to his young and ignorant impulse, and took the nineteenth prince who had just been born to her side to take care of and raise him.

This is one of the reasons why the current Holy Council has never forgotten the former Empress Tuoba Lanyin, and it is also the reason why the former Empress and the Nineteenth Prince were close, but it did not arouse the suspicion of Emperor Xuanyuan at all.

So now many people are speculating that the reason why the throne may not be passed on to the three princes revealed by the Holy Lord before is that the nineteenth prince is the real prince.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was so angry that he didn't know what to say, sat down on the dragon couch with a buttocks, and couldn't help but slap the table on his side.

"The first queen has been dead for many years, and she dares to be arranged like this by these ignorant people with that stinky mouth, I really hate it, and I widowed them. ”

Gonggong Bian, who pretended to squeeze out two tears, looked very sad and said that he knew that the relationship between Emperor Xuanyuan and the former empress was very pure, without any interest entanglement, and it was really hateful to be misunderstood by those bastards and ignorant fools.

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words, saying that people with these thoughts are ignorant fools, listening to the wind and rain, and speculating at home every day will not cause any trouble.

The key is that now many people believe that because the eldest prince knows the true identity of the nineteenth prince, he is worried that he will lose the position of the eldest son and lose a little bit of protection to become the prince, so he chooses to strike first and let the nineteenth prince disappear.

The ministers, who thought so, had already gathered together, surrounded Shangshu Province, and demanded that the Imperial Observatory interrogate the eldest prince.

However, in the imperial history, Cheng Kang Chongqing refused to interrogate the eldest prince on the grounds that the current saint had not issued an edict, so the two sides struggled, and even started to fight, causing a riot.

Emperor Xuanyuan heard that so many things had happened, but he didn't know it at all, and couldn't help but stare at Liang Chen again: "How did you become the chief eunuch?"

Liang Chen, who hurriedly kowtowed, confessed again and again, saying that he was closed to news, and he didn't know that such a thing had happened, so he would go and inquire now.

"No need. You personally go to the Zongren Mansion and bring that unfilial son to me. ”

Liang Chen hesitated and called "Your Majesty", but when he saw Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes widening all of a sudden, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurried to the Zongren Mansion.

The sun was setting in the west, and the west hall of the Taiji Hall was dim, and with a "snap", Emperor Xuanyuan slapped him the face of the eldest prince Xuanyuan Cang.

"Get on your knees, you son of a. ”

The eldest prince knelt on the ground with a "plop", but raised his head and looked up at Emperor Xuanyuan without humility or arrogance.

Emperor Xuanyuan saw that the eldest prince was not weak-hearted, and the anger in his heart weakened slightly.

"The disappearance of the Nineteenth Prince can be related to you?"

The eldest prince, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Emperor Xuanyuan with bright eyes, and asked instead of answering: "Father, in your heart, what kind of person is your son?"

What kind of person is the eldest prince Xuanyuan Cang, Emperor Xuanyuan seems to have never paid attention to.

Back then, the first queen died suddenly without warning, and Emperor Xuanyuan's entire world collapsed, and a few wisps of his soul went to another world with the deceased former queen Tuoba Lanyin.

Since then, Emperor Xuanyuan has been living in a mess.

If it weren't for the fact that he was getting older and felt that his body was getting worse day by day, if he hadn't remembered the will of the first emperor, he would have to guard the Xuanyuan clan's Dayan Zhou Jiangshan well. He will continue to sink deeper and deeper in the swamp of missing the former queen.

Later, although he accepted concubines and had children, these people who came to the palace belonging to him and the former empress were just tools to continue the stability of the Xuanyuan clan, and there was no difference between them and the ministers of the court.

"Father, you don't remember at all what Erchen and Brother Che and Brother Chen looked like when they were children, right?"

Xuanyuan Cang, the eldest prince whose emotions gradually fluctuated, mentioned that when he was a child, he always had to have the courage to come to Taiji Palace in order to see his father who missed him, he didn't remember it at all, Emperor Xuanyuan had accompanied him to read books, asked him about his homework, and didn't remember that Emperor Xuanyuan had accompanied him on horseback, instructed him to shoot arrows, and even played with him.

The eldest prince gradually had a sparkle in his eyes, and he thought that when he was a child, he thought that he was not good enough to please Emperor Xuanyuan, so Emperor Xuanyuan did not come to see him.

But he later discovered that Emperor Xuanyuan didn't just not come to see him, but rarely set foot in the harem.

His father is the king of a country, and he is busy with official business, so he can't play with them like an ordinary father. At that time, the eldest prince understood and comforted himself in this way.

But as he grew up and became sensible, he found that his father didn't care about his concubines except that he didn't love their children.

It was as if everyone in the entire palace was just a transparent person without substance in the eyes of his father.

He couldn't understand at all, how could his father's temperament be so cold and unsentimental?

It didn't take long for him to learn something from the gossip of the palace people.

It turned out that in the heart of his father, there was only one former empress who had died, and there was no place at all for those who were still alive.

But the eldest prince was not resentful, he believed that with the passage of time, Emperor Xuanyuan would realize that the people who accompanied him were the most important.

So he waited and waited, and tried his best to study, so that he could become good enough to be able to appear in the eyes of his father.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and his father finally began to praise him, and finally discovered the sincerity of his mother and concubine, and began to treat them gently.

His mother no longer just cried silently in the cold and lonely palace, and he finally felt the warmth of home in this empty palace.

However, these happy and beautiful times were shattered by a nonsensical rumor.

Tears crossed the corners of his eyes, his jaw trembled uncontrollably, and he asked Emperor Xuanyuan in a choked voice: "Father, do you believe that it was the child who kidnapped the nineteenth emperor uncle, just like the maiden Wang family who believed in the child's mother and killed the queen of Tuoba?"
