Zang Haichuan, the emperor of Yanchu Kingdom, succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-four, and it has been exactly thirty years now.
As early as ten years ago, the moon marks on his eyebrows had faded and disappeared.
This is normal for him.
But in the entire royal family, no matter among his own six sons, the heirs of his elder brothers, or even the heirs of several princesses, there was no heir with moon marks on his face.
So, Zang Haichuan worked hard and gave birth to two more sons to wait for.
As a result, it was not until six years ago that the fourth prince finally discovered that there was a faint trace of a crescent moon behind his right ear, so he immediately made him a prince.
The entire royal family breathed a sigh of relief.
All the civil and military officials in the court breathed a huge sigh of relief.
When the princesses and princesses were sent to get married, who would have thought that something like the moon mark could follow them?
But now...
Zang Haichuan rubbed his brows with a sad look on his face.
The eunuch who was serving him, Eunuch Gao, quickly took the bird's nest soup that the palace maid had just brought and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, it's already the third watch. You'd better rest early. Tomorrow..."
Zang Haichuan waved his hands and sighed: "Take it away, take it away, I have no appetite!"
He stamped his feet and said: "I heard that someone has entered Yanchu territory today, how can I still be in the mood to sleep!"
Eunuch Gao lowered his eyebrows and said, "Then you have to sleep, so that you have enough energy to have the brains to deal with the next thing!"
Zang Haichuan shook his head: "How can you sleep when you can't deal with things that you can't even sleep on?"
"That's all, go down, you don't have to wait anymore!"
He sat in front of the case and covered his face with his hands.
"There are so many countries in the entire continent, why do we, the Yanchu royal family, have such a troublesome inheritance?"
Eunuch Gao did not dare to answer the conversation and quietly retreated.
The old Eunuch Gao still remembers that the moon marks in the past generations have never been cut off.
In the year when the moon marks disappeared from the face of the previous emperor, although none of the fourteen princes in the royal family had moon marks on their faces, and the total number of heirs of the princes in the dynasty was no less than thirty, none of them had moon marks.
When everyone felt something was wrong, Zang Haichuan, who happened to be eighteen years old in the princess's residence, showed moon marks between his eyebrows.
Although this shocked all the civil and military ministers of the dynasty - because Zang Haichuan was not only not a prince, but also the second son of Princess Anyang.
But the alternation of moon marks is still completed within the same year.
But now...
After Eunuch Gao withdrew, his young apprentice Chang Lun hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master, please go and rest first. Your Majesty's apprentice will just watch over you!"
After all, he is quite old.
Eunuch Gao sighed: "Oh... our family can't sleep either!"
"I think Princess Zang Shu of Anyang didn't want to marry far away, so she hired a consort to stay in Beiling City, so her daughter Zang Ji married off to the Great Zhao Kingdom for her."
"When Zang Ji was sent to Dazhao for marriage, our emperor was only thirteen years old."
Chang Lun quickly handed over a cup of hot tea: "Oh, everything is difficult to buy if I had known it earlier. If I had known it earlier, our late emperor would definitely not have let a single princess out!!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Gao nodded at first, then suddenly became alarmed and slapped his young disciple on the face.
"Keep your mouth shut for us, shut it tightly, and you won't be able to reveal even a single word to me even to death. Otherwise, you and our family's heads will not be saved!"
The young apprentice quickly knelt down with his head in his arms: "Disciple knows he is wrong, he knows he is wrong!"
Then Pa Pa Pa Pa slapped himself in the face and said: "It's my disciple who talks too much, it's my disciple who talks too much!"
Five years after Zang Ji went out to get married, the moon marks suddenly appeared on the face of the heir under the princess's knees. Thinking about the princesses who went out to get married, the courtiers were frightened for several years!
They were all afraid that the bloodline of the Yanchu royal family would continue to grow crookedly.
Fortunately, the current prince also has moon marks, otherwise the courtiers would probably have trouble sleeping for months and years.
Therefore, since Zang Haichuan, no princess from Yanchu Kingdom went out to get married.
Not only that, the ministers are also committed to allowing the heirs of the princesses from various countries to return to Yanchu, hoping to regain their bloodline.
But Eunuch Gao knew very well that it stands to reason that the year the moon marks disappeared on the emperor's face, the moon marks on the successor's face should appear.
Therefore, the fourth prince, who waited for another four years for the moon marks to appear, oh no, the prince, how the moon marks came about, is probably only known to the emperor and him.
If that person doesn't come back, that's it. Some things can be kept hidden for a lifetime, so they can be regarded as true.
But that person happened to come back, and he came back at this critical moment.
"Bad fate, it's all bad fate!"
At the same time, Yanchu’s East Palace.
Also unable to sleep was Prince Zang Xi.
However, the way he worries is different from Zang Hai.
"What? Zijiu didn't keep everyone in this palace? He even drove them away??"
"What does she mean? Want to rebel?"
"Doesn't she want all that this palace promised her?"
"Someone, someone, come!"
"You guys, if you send people to Shuizhuang Town, we will definitely block the people there!"
After giving the instructions, Zang Xi looked out the window with squinted eyes.
"Since you chose to ignore the birth of Yuehen ten years ago, why do you want to come back now?"
"My father has obviously given you four years, but to come back just when this prince has taken over this mess for you is so disrespectful!"
As he spoke, he shot the long bow in his hand at the full moon hanging outside the window.
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The arrow quickly disappeared into the moonlit night sky.
Several black figures also disappeared into the night.
…
Early the next morning, Qin Jiaoxi opened her eyes after a good sleep and saw Bo Jiming sitting beside her bed.
On the side, Ah Xin blushed and was at a loss.
"Miss, I, I, I stopped him, but, but..."
Qin Jiaoxi smiled at her: "I forgot to tell you that Prince Shang is my fiancée, so there is no need to stop him in the future!"
Bo Jiming pursed his lips and suppressed his smile: "Listen, I said it's okay!"
However, Axin frowned: "But Miss, this is unreasonable even for your fiancée. You..."
Qin Jiaoxi interrupted her: "Axin, it's okay if I say it's okay, and we don't mind what outsiders say!"
Feeling Qin Jiaoxi's displeasure, Axin had no choice but to bow her head and exit.
Bo Jiming wrinkled his nose: "It seems that I didn't think well. I should wait until you wake up before coming in!"
Qin Jiaoxi shook his head: "Don't worry about this. You must have something to come to me in a hurry. Is it about my father or the purple wine girl?"
"I, Xi'er, am just smart!" Bo Jiming said, "It's about your father's situation!"
He took out a roll of cloth from his arms and handed it to Qin Jiaoxi: "Look, I'm afraid this matter is stuck and it's not the right time!"
Qin Jiaoxi took the cloth and unfolded it, and saw that it read: "The royal family of Yanchu is offering sacrifices, and the new king is about to succeed!"
