After the rain, the sky cleared, and the capital was shrouded in a golden morning light.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove into Miyagi and stopped in front of Taihe Gate.

The guard looked at the distinguished man coming down from the carriage, and hurried forward to salute: "Third Highness!"

Xiao Chonghua lightly raised his hand, and the guard was flattered.

The prince's status is precious, and he usually turns a blind eye to them. Only the third highness is so approachable.

Xiao Chonghua smiled, and asked: "I should be the first to pay my respects to my father, queen and mother, right?"

The guard hurriedly said: "The Queen's Majesty has been ill recently, and Her Royal Highness and Second Highness have also entered the palace."

In Qixiang Palace, Concubine Xian had just finished washing and was sitting in front of the dressing table choosing earrings when she heard the maid report that the Third Highness had come down.

Concubine Xian's eyes lit up, she casually took a pair of jadeite earrings and put them on, and went to Nuan Pavilion to meet her son who had been away for several months.

Concubine Xian was so excited that she swallowed even more. She sat on the imperial concubine's couch, holding her son's face in both hands, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight... Was the journey very hard?"

Xiao Chonghua smiled slightly: "It's not too hard, let mother and concubine remember."

"Have you been to the Queen's side?" Concubine Xian asked.

"Been there."

The empress is in the middle palace, even though Xiao Chonghua is Concubine Xian's own son, he had to go to greet the empress first.

This is etiquette.

"Is my third brother back?"

Accompanied by a delicate voice, Princess Hui'an lightly tugged on the wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress, and walked briskly into the Nuan Pavilion.

"Third Brother! It's really you!"

She ran over with a smile, and sat between Concubine Xian and Xiao Chonghua.

She grew up held in the palm of his hand, the emperor doted on her, Concubine Xian doted on her, needless to say Xiao Chonghua, the older brother.

Concubine Xian wasn't intimate enough with her son, so her daughter squeezed her away.

What can she say?

I'm used to it.

"Hee hee, concubine mother." Princess Hui'an did not forget to say hello to her mother.

Concubine Xian gave her a supercilious look: "How old is she, she doesn't look like a princess."

Princess Hui'an took Xiao Chonghua's arm, and said coquettishly: "I am also the daughter of my concubine, brother's younger sister, right, third brother?"

Xiao Chonghua spoiled with a smile: "Why did you get up so early today? Did you come here specially to wait for Third Brother?"

"Hmm..." Princess Hui'an's eyes flashed.

Concubine Xian hehe said: "I think you want to sneak out of the palace again to find Wei Ting?"

Princess Hui'an said stiffly: "Who said that? I'm here to wait for third brother!"

Concubine Xian continued to demolish her daughter: "Your third brother didn't say that he will enter the palace today!"

Princess Hui'an exhausted her life's wisdom: "I...we are brothers and sisters, we have a good understanding!"

Xiao Chonghua laughed softly.

Princess Hui'an said: "Third brother, you have been away for so long this time, is it because the emperor entrusted you with a particularly important task? It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I can guess it anyway!"

Xiao Chonghua laughed: "What did you guess?"

Princess Hui'an said coquettishly: "I don't care, anyway, the most important prince of the father must be you! In the future, if you become the prince, I will be the eldest princess!"

Concubine Xian glared at her daughter: "Stop talking nonsense, what if people listen to it?"

Princess Hui'an snorted, "Who will spread the word? You? You? Or you?"

The little maids and eunuchs she pointed at turned pale with fright.

"You." Concubine Xian nodded her forehead.

Xiao Chonghua gently rubbed the top of her hair: "My brother brought you a gift, and someone sent it to your bedroom."

Princess Hui'an hurriedly stood up: "Really? I'm going to have a look!"

The chirping little sparrow finally left, and the hall became quiet.

Concubine Xian shunned the palace people, took her son's hand, and said with pity: "Let mother and concubine take a good look at you. I heard that you were very ill in Qingzhou a few years ago."

Xiao Chonghua said: "It is true that I fell ill, thanks to meeting a powerful doctor."

Concubine Xian was terrified.

Xiao Chonghua reassured her: "My son is fine, mother and concubine don't have to worry."

"If you say you don't worry, can I not worry?" Concubine Xian's heart ached, and suddenly, she noticed her son's slightly stiff left arm, "What's wrong with your arm?"

She reached out to touch, and accidentally touched the wound, Xiao Chonghua took a weak breath.

Concubine Xian's expression changed: "What's going on? Let Concubine Mu see!"

"Small injury." Xiao Chonghua pressed Concubine Xian's hand, smiled, and said, "It's really not a problem."

Concubine Xian asked angrily, "Who did it?"

Xiao Chonghua smiled nonchalantly: "Concubine Mu, I'm really fine, I'll take care of it, so don't worry about it anymore."

Concubine Xian understood her son's temperament, if he really refused to tell, she would not be able to ask anyway.

Her son was different from other princes since he was a child. If something happened, even if he was bullied, he would never come back to complain to her.

Concubine Xian had nothing to do with her son, so she could only use her strength elsewhere: "How did Jing Yi protect you?"

Xiao Chonghua smiled gently and said: "Jing Yi has tried his best, if he hadn't blocked the knife for me, I might have died and returned."

Concubine Xian said: "Then...is he alright?"

Xiao Chonghua said: "It's okay."

Concubine Xian's expression turned pale, she took her son's hand, and said earnestly: "When you go out, I am worried every day because I am afraid that something bad will happen to you... You and Concubine Mother are honest, what did you go to Qingzhou for?"

Xiao Chonghua lowered his head and smiled: "I understand the sentiments of the people, mother and concubine, my father sent me there."

Concubine Xian snorted: "Obviously you took the initiative to invite Ying!"

Xiao Chonghua sighed helplessly: "Son... I'm going to find the soldier talisman left by Lord Wu An."

Concubine Xian freed up a hand, supported her temples, and said thoughtfully: "Did Lord Wu An leave a military talisman? Didn't his military talisman be handed over to the court in the morning?"

Xiao Chonghua said: "It's not a military talisman from the imperial court, but an army that was secretly trained for the King of Nanyang."

Concubine Xian asked strangely: "Mr. Wu An still keeps this trick? What does the Wei family want? Rebellion?"

The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became.

"No, you have to report to your father!"

Xiao Chonghua dissuaded him: "Concubine Mu, I didn't get the soldier talisman, and I don't know where the army is. There is no proof, and if the Wei family bites me back, it will be bad for me."

Concubine Xian said: "You are your father's own son, your father will not disbelieve you."

Xiao Chonghua pondered for a moment, then analyzed: "In order to fight against Beiyan, the Wei family had eight generals who were killed in battle. His loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon, known by all civil and military officials, and known by the people all over the world. If the father is only because of his son's One-sided words have made people suspicious of the Wei family, and if it spreads out, they may be criticized by the imperial censor and scolded by the people of the Great Zhou."

Concubine Xian sighed slightly: "It's because Concubine Mu didn't think carefully."

Xiao Chonghua smiled: "Mother and concubine are also for the country and society of the Great Zhou."

Concubine Xian waved her hand: "Forget it, let's not mention this. Since you are back, you should make good preparations for your marriage with Miss Qin. There is not much time left."

The marriage in May is now in late March.

"You must firmly hold the military power of Duke Protector's Mansion in your hands."

In the past, she didn't know that Lord Wu An had left behind, but now that she knew it, Concubine Xian felt more and more that she wanted to join hands with Duke Huguo.

"The Duke Huguo's Mansion and the Su family are in-laws. Winning over the Duke Huguo's Mansion is equivalent to winning over the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion. Even if the Wei family really has a different heart, there is nothing to fear in the future!"

Xiao Chonghua didn't speak.

Concubine Xian said to the outside: "Feng Sheng."

A eunuch in his early thirties bowed in and said, "The servant is here."

Concubine Xian ordered lightly: "Send the pair of red gold step rocks in my treasury to Miss Qin, and say that it is a gift prepared by His Highness the Third Highness for her."

Feng Sheng replied: "Yes."

...

Coming out of the palace, Xiao Chonghua took the carriage back to his mansion.

When passing by an embroidery building, he inadvertently opened the curtain and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

"is her?"

"Has she come to the capital?"

Su Xiaoxiao took the custom-made clothes for her family, paid the money, and carried the clothes into Su Mo's carriage.

Xiao Chonghua's eyes narrowed slightly: "Zhenbei Hou's Mansion?"

"Where are we going next?" Su Mo asked Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Go and see your grandfather, his dosage should be adjusted."

...

study.

Qin Canglan stared at Qin Che, the "son" he had raised for twenty years.

He concealed everything that belonged to Su Cheng and took away everything that belonged to Su Cheng, lived a life of a master with peace of mind, and was even named Duke Protector.

"Who are you? Why did you come to pretend to be my son with Huayin's jade pendant back then?"

"Father, where did you hear the rumors that I was impersonating? How could I impersonate? I am Qin Che! I am your own flesh and blood!"

Qin Canglan untied the jade pendant from his waist: "This jade pendant...was handed over to me when you returned to Beijing. You said you lost the other one, and only this one is always by your side, no matter how many days come. It was difficult, and I was not willing to sell it.”

Qin Che said seriously, "Father, what I'm telling is the truth!"

Qin Canglan was furious and said, "You're lying! This jade pendant was clearly sold thirty years ago! You tell the truth! Who gave it to you!"

Qin Che looked wronged: "Father, what are you talking about? My son can't understand!"

Qin Canglan's eyes were cold: "The Su family has already investigated clearly, you don't have to force yourself to argue, the Su family will not harm me, nor will they wrong Huayin's flesh and blood!"

Qin Che was heartbroken: "My son doesn't know what the Su family's plan is...or...the Su family was deceived by someone..."

Qin Canglan said coldly: "I didn't come to listen to your explanation today, I just came to tell you, I understand."

Without leaving any room for his words, he almost sentenced Qin Che to death on the spot.

Those who achieve great things will always have a decisiveness that ordinary people cannot understand.

The father and son who were still affectionate and righteous the day before could completely sever the upbringing of twenty years in the blink of an eye.

Qin Che found it ironic.

Qin Canglan stared at him steadfastly: "You were only sixteen back then, it's not that I underestimated you, but you didn't have the guts or the ability to set up this situation alone. You also know some things about the Duke of the Protectorate. Cher's habits and habits, there must be someone behind you. Who is that person, you'd better be honest."

Qin Che clenched his fists.

Qin Canglan continued: "You may not know that Hua Yin and I had a fierce quarrel over some trivial matters. Hua Yin was angry and threatened to take the child away. Since then, she took her last name and gave her a name. .”

Qin Che lowered his eyes: "What happened before I was six years old... I only remember part of it."

Qin Canglan completely ignored what he said: "I should have asked you back then, but do you still remember the name your mother gave you?"

Hearing this, Qin Che suddenly laughed.

"Father... just because of a name... I think I'm a fake? I remember so many things, but I just forgot a name that didn't come in handy!"

Qin Canglan said angrily, "Only the three of us know this name!"

Qin Che sarcastically said: "So that person said the name? Who can guarantee that the wall has no ears? It may not be passed on by some servant!"

Qin Canglan frowned: "That person? From the time I entered the room until now, I never mentioned that the real Qin Che appeared."

Qin Che was taken aback!

Qin Canglan's eyes became colder and colder: "Have you seen him? You know? You...you deliberately pushed me away yesterday?"

Qin Che panicked: "Father..."

Qin Canglan stood up and walked towards him step by step: "What do you want to do?"

Qin Che retreated step by step: "Father, listen to my explanation, I...ah—"

Qin Canglan grabbed his neck.

At this moment, something was wrong with Qin Canglan.

Or to be precise, from the moment he learned the truth, he was always on the verge of collapse.

Now, the string of sanity snapped.

Qin Che felt the breath of death.

He couldn't believe that his father, who had been with him for twenty years, was really cruel to him.

The rumors are correct, Qin Canglan is really the coldest and most ruthless Yan Luo in Da Zhou.

"Father...you can't kill me..."

"I... I am also your... dear son..."

--

The streets are a little congested today.

The carriage stopped and went, and was blocked on the road from time to time.

Su Mo lifted the curtain of the car to look at it, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Would you like to go to the teahouse?"

"No need." Su Xiao.

Su Mo lowered the curtain.

The carriage was blocked in the middle of the road quietly, surrounded by noise, the carriage was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.

Perhaps in order to break this strange silence, Su Mo said softly, "I told you before that my aunt and grandfather have a very good relationship."

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Mo hesitated: "Actually, there is something I haven't told you. I overheard it, and I'm not sure how true or false it is."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "You say."

"When my great-uncle was young, he used to..."

Speaking of this, Su Mo paused.

Su Xiaoxiao spoke for him: "Have you ever had another woman?"

It's really embarrassing for a man and a girl to criticize this kind of thing, it's hard to say.

Su Mo bit the bullet and said: "It's my great-uncle's distant cousin. Her family has fallen, and she came to the capital to join the Qin family. The old lady at that time, who was my great-uncle's mother, kindly took her in."

Su Xiaoxiao snorted: "Then they got married?"

Su Mo neither admitted nor denied: "I don't know the details, but I just heard that my aunt's cousin fell ill suddenly and was sent to the Zhuangzi by the old lady to recuperate, and never returned to the capital."

-----Off Topic-----
