Xue Qingyin raised her head: "Your Majesty keeps saying that you are protecting me. Why do I need Your Majesty to protect me? I am living very well now. Unless..."

She stared at him: "Unless His Majesty wants to kill King Xuan."

Emperor Liang De was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Look, aren't you very smart? You can guess it."

Xue Qingyin's heart beat rapidly.

Emperor Liang De was really moved!

Was it He Songning who convinced him of this idea?

What Xue Qingyin was thinking was one thing, but she still had a look of suspicion on her face: "Why? Do you dislike King Xuan's victory over the Meng clan and his superior achievements?"

"The merits are greater than the master? I am not so narrow-minded." Emperor Liang De's face was dark and unclear, and he said: "This is a mistake in the first place, and it should not be continued from the beginning."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Xue Qingyin, his tone was calm and indifferent: "Are you ready to listen?"

Stubbornness was written all over Xue Qingyin's face: "Is there anything I can't listen to? Then I'll be clear first."

"As long as you stay in the palace, you won't be a ghost." Emperor Liang De also comforted her.

Then the words changed: "King Xuan is not my biological son."

This sentence is not that difficult to say.

Emperor Liang De thought, it turned out that when he said it himself, everything was calm, and there was not even the slightest feeling of struggle.

"I have been unable to do anything. After all, he was raised by me."

"But because you have a biological son, you still decided to kill him." Xue Qingyin shook her head, "I don't understand, King Wei is also your son, and so is the Seventh Prince... You still have so many biological sons. Why does Xue Ning

After you appear, will you be able to kill King Xuan ruthlessly?"

"He...Xiao Zhen."

Emperor Liang De simply brought it over with just three words, and then he continued: "In the previous dynasties, the son was often more valued than the mother. In other words, the stronger the mother's family, the more the prince's status would rise with the tide. But I

I don’t like this... If I am under the control of my relatives, is this country still the emperor’s country?"

"Because his biological mother died early, Your Majesty can safely pamper him. Is the same true for me? Because I am weak and helpless and will never become a threat. Is Your Majesty willing to indulge me like this?"

"This is a condition, not a reason. There are many weak people in this world, but not everyone can be favored by the emperor."

"Then how will your majesty protect me? If your majesty kills King Xuan, will I commit myself to my own eldest brother? But because of my embarrassing status, do I have to be a secret lover for the rest of my life?"

"Why do you think so?" Emperor Liang De said, "You can remarry openly. Didn't you say that day that if one day King Xuan can't bear your temper, you can remarry."

Xue Qingyin was a little surprised.

When she said that that day, she did say it to Emperor Liang De on purpose. She wanted to test whether Emperor Liang De would immediately arrange for He Songning to see her...

But I didn’t expect Emperor Liang De to really think this way!

"I...have become a stain on Xue Ning's body? I don't want to be like this."

"If you say this, his life experience will be stained."

Xue Qingyin suddenly felt calm.

Emperor Liang De indeed had no intention of passing the throne to He Songning!

There is so much information revealed in these words!

"You don't have to belittle yourself, and since I can say such things, I must have made arrangements and will not put you in an embarrassing situation." Emperor Liang De said calmly.

Should I be moved?

Xue Qingyin exhaled heavily in her heart, but you are such a terrible person.

"It just depends on what you want to choose next." Liang Dedi looked at her.

Seeing that Xue Qingyin stopped talking again, Emperor Liang De said calmly: "I thought you had already made a decision in your heart. Otherwise, you would have fallen out with me when I said I wanted to kill King Xuan."

Xue Qingyin breathed out: "Do I have a choice?"

"I'm very happy that Xue Ning offended you. What makes you more unhappy is that you think I gave you to Xue Ning. You see, you can still call me 'father' in the future, just like before.

There is no difference."

"I...I want to calm down."

Emperor Liang De nodded: "Okay. But you can't leave here. I have to prevent you from going back to report to King Xuan."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, I didn't expect you to say all of this so directly!

She was secretly worried.

Being detained like this is a bit troublesome... King Xuan will be worried.

Xue Qingyin actually looked calm enough.

Seeing that she didn't say a word of resistance, Emperor Liang De couldn't help but asked curiously: "Looking at you, your love for King Xuan is nothing more than this. In this case, what else do you have to hesitate? Is it because you are afraid that I will not fulfill my promise?"

?”

Xue Qingyin bit the tip of her tongue.

She felt that she had become much bolder since she dared to wield a knife at He Songning.

So big... At this moment, she decided to take the risk.

"It's not that I don't like King Xuan."

"Well, I think so. Your past intimacy with Prince Xuan doesn't seem to be fake. If you can even act like this, I should also suspect that you don't have any true feelings in front of me." Liang Dedi paused.

"So...why are you so calm?"

"Because... I knew King Xuan would die a long time ago." Xue Qingyin smiled bitterly.

Emperor Liang De's expression changed slightly.

She knew about Prince Zhang very early?

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Your Majesty told me a secret... Then I will also tell you a secret."

Emperor Liang De said with a cold face: "You say."

In order to save her from worries, let her be truly honest in front of him.

Emperor Liang De said: "Even if you say something that shouldn't be said, I can forgive you and not die."

Xue Qingyin took a deep breath: "It's not a question of whether the crime should be punished by death or not... I'm afraid that Your Majesty will treat me as a monster and want to burn me to death."

Emperor Liang De was slightly startled, and realized that the "secret news" Xue Qingyin said had nothing to do with Prince Zhang.

She didn't know anything about Prince Zhang... what she wanted to say was something else.

Emperor Liang De felt better and said firmly: "I will not treat you like this."

"Not only did I know that King Xuan would die very early, I also knew the fate of everyone...everyone." She bit out these three words with emphasis.

Emperor Liang De laughed: "You want to tell me that you are better at divination than Taichang Temple? Are you going to take away their jobs?"

Xue Qingyin had long known that it would be difficult for others to believe such a thing.

But it doesn’t matter…

"Can I ask your Majesty?"

"Um?"

"Who is Your Majesty's preferred successor?"

Emperor Liang De's face darkened: "Qingyin, I can indulge you in many things, and I can protect your life. You will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life, and no one in the capital will dare to bully you. But there are some things you can't ask."

Xue Qingyin was not affected and continued: "I can tell Your Majesty who the heir I know is."

"Did King Xuan tell you? Or did you guess it yourself?" Emperor Liang De narrowed his eyes.

Xue Qingyin did not answer, but thought to herself: "He Songning will be the emperor in the future."

For an instant, Emperor Liang De's face became terrifyingly gloomy.

He was very sure that although he told Xue Qingyin in the conversation just now that He Songning was his biological son, he always used the word "Xue Ning" to refer to him.

He did not mention his real name.

"Who told you this?" Liang Dedi asked sharply.

"No one needs to tell me, I read it myself. In a book." Xue Qingyin met his gaze fearlessly.
