"There is only you here, only me. Do you and I still need to be cautious when talking about such things? If we are not open and honest, it is better to wait until the end, until the day when His Majesty the Emperor personally deposes the Queen, and the Queen is thrown into the cold palace. A confidant like you

, and life is no longer as luxurious as it is now.”

"after all……."

"Your Majesty knows that the prince is actually a bloodline of the regent."

Li Guanyi covered his mouth.

Subconsciously suppressing his breath even lower.

Given his character, his heart was almost beating wildly at this moment.

The prince is of the bloodline of the regent?!

Does the emperor still know?

He seemed to know why Concubine Xue was so favored.

The female officer seemed to be irritated, her upper and lower teeth collided and made a crisp sound, and said: "Shut up!"

Hou Zhongyu said calmly: "Shut up? Since the Queen is unwilling to provide me with what I need, there is no need for me to hide anything anymore. I might as well speak more openly."

The female officer scolded: "You want more and more things!"

Hou Zhongyu retorted: "If you want the blood of Qilin in order to live forever, you need such a huge national effort!"

The female officer said: "You!"

She calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, you will not do anything to the prince."

Hou Zhongyu smiled again and said: "Yes, no, after all, the regent is still alive."

Li Guanyi, who was hiding, held the hilt of the sword tightly. He had a feeling in his heart that he might have encountered something terrible today. The regent, that overlord was not killed? Is the current prince of his bloodline?

Hou Zhongyu sneered: "Your Majesty ordered the burning of the records of Duke Taiping and the regent. Is it just to cover up what the previous regent did and save the face of the royal family? Duke Taiping wanted to maintain the security of Chen State and make the people peaceful, so he

Come back to attack the regent."

"So, he can never be like the regent who killed the previous emperors."

"Just kill the regent!"

"That would just make Chen Guoduo the second regent."

"If his name is not correct, his words will not be correct. He wants to expose all the regent's sins to the world and deal with them according to the law to calm the people's hearts."

"In that day of fighting, he wounded and defeated the regent."

"At that time, the regent had not yet killed the last two emperors he had established."

"It was the current His Majesty who killed them himself and became the first legitimate son."

"Everyone thinks that His Majesty is a person who only knows how to weigh things, but only a few people like me know that it was Your Majesty who led others to choose him, killed the other brothers, and then acquiesced in the wife who was occupied to give birth to the regent.

His bloodline makes him the prince."

"For the civil servants and aristocratic families represented by Tantai Xianming, for Xiao Wuliang who was left behind because of this child, as well as those martial arts, and even the forces represented by the Xue family."

"All parties finally discovered that they were left with the only choice."

"But--"

The alchemist, who looked to be in his forties, lowered his eyes.

He still remembered what happened more than ten years ago. The regent had his veins locked. He had lost his power, but he was still sitting there quietly. The current emperor was wearing gorgeous clothes and twelve imperial crowns.

Before the lame king, he was like a beggar being given alms.

The regent lowered his eyes, still holding the jade seal in his hand, then threw it out and said:

"I want it so much."

"Just take it!"

Such a heroic demeanor, such an overlord.

Your Majesty, it's not as good as that after all.

I am not a prince.

It's a photo shoot.

The alchemist said softly: "As you said, why does your majesty love Concubine Xue so much? Because Concubine Xue's son is of his bloodline. Once he is born, your majesty will definitely make him a prince."

"Queen Tantai, are you feeling very uneasy?"

"Even if her father is the prime minister of Tantai and her mother is the eldest daughter of the Lu family; even if the regent leaves, leaving Xiao Wuliang, the strongest general under his command, in the court, his majesty's heart is not with her.

, but her opponent is the Xue family, one of the three most wealthy businessmen in the world."

"And the Xue family is still the Duke of Xue recognized by His Majesty the Great Emperor of Zhongzhou."

"Concubine Xue is pregnant."

"Being a prince is a rare and precious life."

"She'll still be scared, right?"

The female officer stopped talking. This was the dispute in the court of Chen State at this moment.

Hou Zhongyu said: "But if I tell you that the tigers of the Xue family and the father of Queen Tantai were all deceived by your majesty, what do you think?"

The female officer looked stunned, then became excited: "You, you mean!"

Hou Zhongyu said: "Your Majesty will not touch the prince, but he will not allow Concubine Xue's son to become the prince. In that year, he had an illegitimate son born, and he has always hidden this son very well."

"Balance cannot last forever, and conflicts between each other will eventually break out."

"When the Xue family, who is a wealthy businessman, and the empress line headed by the family's civil servants collide, and both sides suffer, his real son will appear, and then he will clean up everything and reap the benefits."

"At that time, His Majesty will 'abdicate' the throne to this collateral descendant who is not his 'biological son'."

"That is the abdication. It is the behavior of the Holy Emperor that the civil servants and the Qingliu will highly praise and write down. He will eventually stay in the history as the Holy Emperor. His real son will have a son who will be everywhere after the conflict breaks out.

They are all countries of merit."

"And the Xue family and the queen are just pawns in his eyes—"

"That's why Taiping Gong and Yue Pengwu, two people who were witnesses of what happened back then, but whose hearts are upright and cannot be won over, are going to die."

Hou Zhongyu said: "What they do is for the people and the world, so that they can expand their territory."

"But how could they forget? How could they forget?"

"If they are alive, His Majesty the Emperor's throne will be unstable!!!"

"It will leave a stain on him in history!"

"The young man who once drank with them, drunkenly under the moonlight, and had a youthful spirit was already dead when he sat on the throne."

"Whether the country's territory has become larger and whether the people are at peace, these are all very good things, but the most critical thing is whether the throne still has the surname Chen. The most important thing is whether after one's death, one can leave one's name for eternity!

"

"My hair still looks black, but I'm sixty-seven years old."

"I witnessed the departure of the regent with my own eyes. The price for this overlord's survival was that Xiao Wuliang was willing to guard Chen State. When the regent left, he told Duke Taiping that his legs had been broken at this moment.

Most of his martial arts skills were also lost, and the people thought he was dead and cheered."

"But he still has to live."

"The regent said that as long as he lives, Duke Taiping can live."

"It's a pity that even the ruthless regent didn't think of killing him."

"His Majesty's current state of mind is so ruthless. He can give up even such a national god general, so after the dust settles, the three-foot-long white silk prepared for the Queen must be in the box.

ah."

"The money of the Xue family is also the cornerstone for the next generation of emperors to set foot in the world."

The female officer's expression turned pale little by little.

The slender fingers were trembling slightly.

Hou Zhongyu smiled and said: "So, do you want to cooperate with me?"

"I can tell the empress who your majesty's illegitimate son is. I just need the empress to prepare enough resources for me to temper the elixir."

The female officer gritted her teeth: "Aren't you afraid of retribution for using this matter as a threat?"

The alchemist said calmly: "If you can't live for a long time, living for seventy years or living for a hundred years are just ants. Instead of dying on the bed of illness, you might as well indulge in as much as you like. What's wrong with death? They will just return to the dust together."

This kind of demeanor made the female officer depressed.

The great thieves and heroes in the world, no matter whether they are good or evil, their magnanimity cannot be compared to her.

The alchemist said calmly: "Besides, it's not like I've never done anything to steal destiny."

"The fate of the son of Lord Taiping."

"I took it myself."
