"What do you mean?" Prince Xiao did not understand what Duke Zhen Guo meant, and angrily shouted: "Stop showing off in front of me, tell me what is going on!"

The Duke of Zhen Guo almost laughed out of anger at King Xiao's reaction. Even though he was talking about this, King Xiao still didn't fully understand it.

"Let me tell you for the last time, Chu'er did not die. Chu'er was saved by someone back then." Zhen Guogong said word by word: "The person who saved people was your imperial brother, Xiao Jingheng!"

"How is this possible?" Prince Xiao didn't believe it. How could the emperor's brother save Chu'er?

The emperor's brother was still in the palace at that time and had no chance to save anyone. It must be a lie.

Prince Xiao tightly grasped the collar of Duke Zhen and asked angrily: "Are you kidding me? How did you know these things? Since Chu'er is not dead, where is he?"

Perhaps the beating was severe and Duke Zhen Guo's condition was a bit unstable. Prince Xiao immediately had someone boil a bowl of ginseng soup and drank it for Duke Zhen. He waited until his expression recovered a little before asking again.

"Chu'er just faked his death back then. After being buried by you, he was rescued by Xiao Jingheng before he died." As soon as Zhen Guogong finished speaking, King Xiao suddenly realized: "So, Chu Yunning tried every means to follow her.

The reason why I reconciled with Li was because she had known for a long time that Chu Er was not dead and that there was still an imperial brother..."

Prince Xiao's face turned pale in disbelief: "Everyone from all the countries in the world knows that there is a resourceful Chu Shanggong beside the emperor in the south. On the battlefield of men, the emperor actually kept that bitch Chu Yunning beside him, and left the queen.

, it was also the imperial brother who gave Chu Yunning an official position in the palace, temporarily acting as Fengyin..."

Duke Zhen Guo frowned when he heard this. He looked at Prince Xiao in surprise, and then heard him muttering to himself. It turns out that Beibei is the son of the emperor's brother. No wonder the emperor's brother values ​​Chu Yunning so much.

"Ha! If Beibei is the son of the emperor's brother, with Chu Yunning's current ability, it would not be surprising for him to ascend the throne."

These words fell into the ears of Duke Zhen. Duke Zhen was shocked and moved his voice. He didn't know what to explain to Prince Xiao for a moment.

I can't even start from the beginning.

Isn't it because Chu'er's heart blood was taken and Chu Yunning was so stimulated that he fell in love with Prince Xiao and then reconciled?

When Chu Yunning entered the palace, it was to treat Xiao Jingheng's illness and for the Queen Mother to appease General Chu who was away at war, so she promoted and cared for him everywhere.

Zhenguo Gong's words reached his lips and he swallowed them back. He found that he couldn't explain clearly, and it was getting further and further away from what he expected.

"Brother, the emperor actually deceived me." Prince Xiao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in anger.

The silence in the cell was so terrifying that the Duke of Zhen didn't even dare to take a breath, silently staring at Prince Xiao's reaction.

After a long time, King Xiao raised his head and stared at Duke Zhen: "You just said that Chu'er is not dead yet and you need my heart's blood to be used as medicine?"

"Yes, Chu'er is a weak disease brought from her mother's womb and is riddled with hundreds of poisons. If we can't find an antidote, Chu'er will definitely die." The Duke of Zhen looked at Prince Xiao cautiously, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Prince Xiao was thinking.

.

Prince Xiao's tense expression improved slightly and he pursed his lips.

"Actually, for the prince, the first thing to do is to win over the two children, especially Beibei." Duke Zhenguo cleared his throat: "Chu'er is weak, and Beibei is the future king."

"That's not my king's child!"

Duke Zhen Guo took a deep breath and decided to expose the truth: "That's because the prince's body is also poisonous, but it's not fatal. Even if the prince's blood is recognized by his biological heir, it will not fuse."

Hearing this, King Xiao's whole body tensed up.

"This is a secret from the royal family. Even if you and the Queen Mother recognize each other with blood, they will not get along until the poison is detoxified."

Duke Zhen simply smashed the jar and said it all at once: "Xiao Jingheng also has this poison. This is because the poison brought by the queen mother's body has been passed down from generation to generation. Before the death of the late emperor, he verified Xiao Jingheng and accidentally discovered that Xiao Jingheng was not of the royal family.

Bloodline, that’s why we made a secret decree for Xiao Jingyan to succeed to the throne.”

Prince Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief: "This... this is absolutely impossible!"

"The person who poisoned her was the imperial concubine, and the Queen Mother also knew about it. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's astuteness, there might not be anyone who would sit on the throne."

At the beginning, the late emperor had a total of fifteen princes, but there were very few living princes. Xiao Jingheng was the eldest son. He had a noble status, was smart since he was a child, and was diligent and hardworking. He was a role model for many princes.

King Huai was ambitious, King Cheng was reckless, King Yun was weak... The only one who could rival Xiao Jingheng's intelligence was Xiao Jingyan.

It's a pity that Xiao Jingyan was born at the wrong time. When the late emperor was dying, he was still too young and was not strong enough to fight against the then crown prince Xiao Jingheng.

Even if the late emperor forcibly made a will for Xiao Jingyan to succeed him, Xiao Jingheng's power would be enough to drag him down.

Had the late emperor lived a few more years, the southern end would not be in the situation it is today.

Prince Xiao returned to the main room in a daze, and Xi'er happened to be smiling in the nurse's arms. He recalled the words of Duke Zhen, and found an excuse to coax Princess Weiwei out, holding Xi'er alone.

When no one was prepared, he took out a silver needle and pierced Xi'er's toe and dripped it into the clear water. Then he quickly pierced his own fingertip and dripped blood.

While coaxing the child, Prince Xiao looked at the two drops of blood in the bowl without blinking. They were scattered at both ends and did not blend together!

Boom!

It was as if a muffled thunder exploded from Prince Xiao's mind. He knew very clearly that Xi'er was his child.

If it weren't for what Duke Zhen Guo said, he almost suspected that Xi'er was not his child.

This... is so scary.

Why did his mother never mention it to him?

The child in his arms was still crying. Prince Xiao patiently held it and coaxed it for a while, then poured out the bowl of water, coaxed the child and handed it to the wet nurse.

At this moment, King Xiao's face looked very bad. He returned to the prison again. When the Duke of Zhen Guo saw how lost his soul was, he knew that he must have verified it.

"For the sake of you telling me so many things, I can let you go."

Prince Xiao's emotions were complicated, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

The Duke of Zhenguo sneered: "The world is so big, where can I go? Not to mention that I still bear the reputation of being a rebellious minister. As long as the prince swears in the name of his heir, he will definitely let my descendants live well. I will tell the prince about the two children."

How about a secret?”

Prince Xiao nodded without hesitation: "I promise you."

"Okay!" Duke Zhenguo didn't hold back much and said immediately: "Don't worry, Xiao Jingheng's health is worse than you expected. He is also innocent at this moment. The second prince and the eldest princess in the palace are not at all.

It's not Xiao Jingheng's child, it's just a trick to confuse everyone. The late emperor has already cut off Xiao Jingheng's descendants, and neither Chu'er nor Beibei has anything to do with Xiao Jingheng!"

After the words fell, King Xiao could not come back to his senses for a long time.
