These two short words came to Emperor Qing'an's lips, but he couldn't spit them out.
As the emperor, you can cover up the past, but it is too much to deny the secret after it has been exposed. Furthermore, this letter was copied. If this villain who is secretly scheming can copy one copy, he can copy ten hundred copies. Then spread it around...
When he thought of this possibility, the anger in Emperor Qing'an's heart almost burst out of his chest.
Prince Fu waited for a moment, but before receiving a response from Emperor Qing'an, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that what is said in this letter is true. The emperor really had something to do with that Jiang family."
Emperor Qing'an felt as if he had swallowed a fly alive, his diaphragm was indescribably uncomfortable, and his face was filled with a suffocating coldness.
Of course, Prince Fu is not afraid. He is the second uncle of Emperor Qing'an and is the Zongzheng in charge of the royal family. In layman's terms, he is the patriarch of the royal family. He is in charge of the family genealogy. Therefore, this letter was sent to the Zongren Mansion. Besides, if he saw it, he couldn't ignore it. Shen You wanted to recognize his ancestors and change his surname, so he had to handle it in order to comply with the rules.
"Actually, this is not a big deal. When the emperor was your prince, it was just right to accept ten or eight beauties, not to mention a Jiang family. The royal blood is so valuable that it should never be left outside. For the Yuan family, the emperor married My son doesn’t admit it either, which is something very wrong.”
Prince Fu continued eloquently: "Shen You grew up in the Shen family, and everyone knew that he was Shen Rong's 'posthumous son'. The emperor also paid special attention to him and loved him, so he was able to occupy a high position at a young age. Once his If the true life story spreads, I don’t know how many people will talk about it..."
Emperor Qing'an suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Prince Fu: "Uncle Wang, be careful! Shen You's ability to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards is all due to his numerous military exploits. I act impartially and have never been partial."
Prince Fu's eyes flashed, and he quickly changed his words: "What the emperor said was that I was outspoken for a moment, and my words were biased. Commander Shen is indeed of the emperor's blood, and he has the heroic appearance of the emperor when he was young."
During the years when Emperor Qing'an was King of Yan, he led troops to win several battles and showed great prowess on the battlefield. Prince Zhu Yun liked to study since he was a child, he was honest and elegant, and was not similar to Emperor Qing'an. Shen You, on the other hand, was tall and handsome. , somewhat like Emperor Qing'an when he was young.
If you think about it carefully, Shen You's sarcastic words and cold words are actually just like Emperor Qing'an...
Emperor Qing'an was also a human being. How could he not feel guilty or blame himself for a son who looked like him but could not recognize him? How could he not have regrets?
Emperor Qing'an felt extremely complicated and fell silent again.
Prince Fu looked at Emperor Qing'an, considered it for a moment, and then said: "It concerns the blood of the royal family, so we must be cautious. Please order the emperor to let Commander Shen enter the palace. In front of the minister, another blood test will be done." I have to see it myself to confirm the identity of Commander Shen and make him recognize his ancestor and return to his clan."
Emperor Qing'an's eyes turned cold: "I only have one son, the prince."
Prince Fu was a little helpless: "There is no one else here. I am the emperor's second uncle. The emperor has nothing to hide from me."
"The Emperor wants to recognize Commander Shen back, so I will try my best to handle the matter in a dignified manner and suppress the rumors. If the Emperor doesn't want to recognize it, then there is a way to deny it. In the final analysis, it depends on the Emperor's wishes."
A prince who is living abroad has to either recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, or he has to "disappear" quietly in front of everyone. In short, it is not possible as it is now.
How to choose Emperor Qing'an?
Prince Fu waited for Emperor Qing'an's order.
After waiting for a long time, Emperor Qing'an never opened his mouth.
Prince Fu gave Emperor Qing'an a deep look and said, "Please make a decision as soon as possible and end this matter as soon as possible. In order to prevent malicious people from spreading rumors and damaging the dignity of the royal family."
Emperor Qing'an had no expression on his face: "I have my own opinions, so I don't need to worry about Uncle Wang." After a pause, he said slowly: "What I said to Uncle Wang today is only known to you and me, and it cannot be passed to the third person. middle."
Prince Fu responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
…
Prince Fu walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony unhurriedly, his face gentle and calm. There was no clue at all from his face.
Shen You stood guard outside the palace, and when he saw Prince Fu approaching, he bowed his hands in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Prince Fu stopped and gave Shen You a meaningful look: "Since the Emperor has not summoned you, Commander Shen just wants to put his heart back to its original place."
This old fox is deliberately trying to keep his appetite off the ground, and he tries to show off at every turn. Nine times out of ten, he has no good intentions.
Shen You snorted coldly in his heart and responded calmly: "Prince Fu's words make sense."
Let’s see how long you can stay proud of yourself.
Prince Fu also sneered in his heart, and the smile on his face became more friendly: "Commander Shen is a young talent, and I have always liked it very much. When you have free time in the future, you might as well go to Prince Fu's mansion often."
Shen You would not take the words seriously in such a situation and responded casually.
Prince Fu's ambiguous glance before he left made Shen You surprised and suspicious.
Something is wrong.
The atmosphere today is weird, everyone is not feeling right. Prince Fu's visit was unkind, and Feng Shaojun's previous reaction was also wrong. Also, he has been waiting outside for so long, and the emperor has never summoned him to enter the palace...
There seemed to be a dark cloud covering everyone except him. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Shen You's heart was cast into a thick layer of haze.
…
"Jinghe," Emperor Qing'an, who had been standing straight in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, suddenly collapsed, with unprecedented pain and vulnerability on his face: "I really hate myself for not having the heart to kill her back then."
Of course she is the Jiang family.
Who would have thought that Jiang, who is so cowardly and afraid of death, would have the courage to write such a letter?
At that time, he had many worries and did not kill Jiang. His hesitation allowed Jiang to survive. As a result, Jiang, who was under house arrest in the Qiu family's house, actually revealed such a big crime.
Eunuch Yang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he whispered: "She was locked up in the Qiu family's inner house and could not see outsiders at all. There were also secret guards watching her all the time. How did she send the letter? Also, this letter How come you are outside the gate of the clan's mansion?"
"Your Majesty, it is clear that someone is behind this, trying to cause discord between the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen. I will order a strict investigation to find out the person behind this."
Emperor Qing'an was in a very gloomy mood and seemed not to hear what Eunuch Yang was saying.
Eunuch Yang whispered again: "However, the most important thing right now is to decide how to deal with this matter first. Does the emperor want to recognize Commander Shen back?"
Emperor Qing'an's face showed a hint of vulnerability and pain, and he slowly shook his head.
No.
Twenty-two years ago, he had given up on this son and allowed him to grow up in the Shen family as Shen Silang.
No matter right or wrong, there is no turning back.
