First Lady of the Crown Prince - Chapter 727
Chapter 727 His Royal Highness Emperor Sun (two more)
After coming out of the Qilin Temple, the monarch went to find the little princess, and the prince said goodbye to the monarch and got on the carriage back home.
The carriage walked far away from the National Teacher’s Hall. Only when he changed his impulsive and irritable look, he became serious and restrained.
The carriage is walking on the spacious street.
He said in a deep voice: “Do you know who I saw in the National Teacher Hall just now?”
On the bench next to him sat a man in the official uniform of the captain’s mansion. His surname was Shao, his name was Xueyi, and he was in charge of all the chariots and horses of the Dayan Palace.
The powers between the captains are not static, and occasionally infiltrate each other.
Shao Xueyi was responsible for investigating the assassination of the Prince’s Mansion.
Everyone thought he was the confidant of the Wang family, but he didn’t know that he had been used by the prince. He also accompanied the prince to go privately to the Tianqiong Academy to watch the kicking game.
“Who did your Highness see?” Shao Xueyi asked.
The prince said: “I saw the emperor’s eldest grandson.”
“The emperor’s eldest grandson is back to Shengdu?” Shao Xueyi said in surprise.
The prince smiled faintly: “I’m surprised, isn’t it? Gu didn’t receive any news. Gu suspects that he is not the real Shangguanqing, he is Xiao Heng.”
Shao Xueyi asked: “That…Xiao Liulang?”
The prince nodded: “It’s him.”
As the confidant of the prince, Shao Xueyi naturally knew that Xiao Heng had arrived in Shengdu. He asked: “Did he reveal his identity or pretending to be Shangguanqing?”
“Pretend to be Shangguanqing.” The prince said, frowning, “I’m not sure about being alone.”
Shao Xueyi looked at the prince incomprehensibly: “His Royal Highness is not sure what?”
The prince sighed: “I’m not sure whether that person is Xiao Heng or Shangguan Qing. The two of them look so similar, they are almost exactly the same, and there is no way to tell them apart.”
The crown prince and Shangguanqing hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years. He just took advantage of Shangguanqing’s return to Shengdu to take a sneak peek near the National Teacher’s Hall, or just look at the portrait. He didn’t understand Shangguanqing when he grew up. Unable to distinguish from the behavior and voice of the two.
The prince said: “Emperor father can’t be recognized, let alone lonely.”
Shao Xueyi said: “This is the brilliance of the waste lady. She keeps Shangguanqing away from Shengdu and does not interact with anyone. This minimizes the identification features other than her appearance. Once Shangguanqing passes away, she can Xiao Heng took it back to his side, and no one would know that he had changed.”
The prince paused and said, “Although there are rumors among the people that the father fell in love with Guanqing only because he was short-lived, but if the’illness’ of the emperor’s eldest grandson is cured, the emperor still loves him so much? That just in case.”
Shao Xueyi said: “Yes, the monarch is getting older, and he is cruel and ruthless when he is less young. He killed Queen Xuanyuan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make up for his guilt on Queen Xuanyuan’s descendants in his twilight years.”
The prince pierced his eyes: “So, Xiao Heng must die!”
Once Xiao Heng is dead, Shangguanyan will definitely not survive.
Shao Xueyi pondered for a moment, and said, “In fact, it’s not difficult to tell if the other party is Xiao Heng. Two people must have dealt with Shangguanqing.”
The prince thought for a while: “You mean the national teacher? He may not help me. That guy won’t get in and won’t be attracted by any forces.”
Shao Xueyi said in his heart, that is because there is no force that can override the Palace of the National Teacher. To put it bluntly, no one is qualified to win him over.
The prince shook his head: “What’s more, he and Shangguanqing have only met for two years. I don’t know much about it. As for the nuances of the voice, it can be said that the voice has changed.”
Xiao Heng is a man, can his boyhood voice be the same as it is now?
Shao Xueyi pointed out otherwise: “Have you forgotten that there is another person?”
Prince: “Who?”
Shao Xueyi: “Wang Xu.”
The prince was slightly startled: “He?”
“He has been stationed in the imperial tombs for several years and personally taught Shangguanqing martial arts. If anyone can tell the truth of Shangguanqing, he counts as one!” Shao Xueyi said, “Your Majesty hates people who cheat him. His Majesty sees people today. If it is really Xiao Heng, then Xiao Heng has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.”
“You are right.” The prince deeply agreed, “It’s just a little lonely, why didn’t Xiao Heng recognize the monarch directly, but borrow Shangguanqing’s identity?”
Shao Xueyi said: “Because it will be much easier to use Shangguanqing’s identity.”
If you use Xiao Heng’s own identity, it will involve who Shangguanqing is, what is the intention of the prince, and how much deception the monarch has suffered over the years.
Madame, of course, can say that she did this because someone wanted to be against Xiao Heng. The problem is that she can’t produce evidence at all, and she has nothing to say. Will the monarch believe her?
With the suspicious nature of the monarch, he would only think that the mother and son were planning something secretly.
So to be on the safe side, it is safest for Xiao Heng to directly embody Guan Qing.
Not only does not need extra branches, but also accepts all the favors from the monarch.
There is another point. Shao Xueyi faintly felt that perhaps Xiao Heng did not want to become the Dayan imperial clan. If he used the identity of Shangguanqing, he could leave without any burden when he was done.
But soon, Shao Xueyi denied this speculation.
That is the emperor’s grandson who is the strongest in the country. Who wouldn’t want such an identity?
Don’t overestimate Xiao Heng’s temperament. He is not so indifferent to fame and fortune. Everything is just weighing the pros and cons.
The prince was helpless: “What you said is correct, but what if he really is Shangguanqing?”
Shao Xueyi sneered: “Then it would be easier. It is much easier to dismantle Shangguanqing than Xiao Heng. We didn’t dismantle it because it was unnecessary. Anyway, Shangguanqing hasn’t been a demon in Shengdu. Staying in the imperial tomb in peace, we can be treated as if there is no such person. We want to get rid of Xiao Heng from beginning to end. But if… Shangguanqing is not afraid to run to the Shengdu to disrupt the situation, then don’t blame us for being polite! ”
The prince smiled appreciatively: “I really can’t live without you by my side.”
Shao Xueyi handed over: “His Royal Highness praised it.”
Can the prince not understand these principles? Just borrowed his mouth to say it.
The prince seems to have no intentions, but in fact the city is deeper than anyone else.
The prince said: “There is another problem. The Wang family only loyal to the lonely father and the emperor. If I want to ask Wang Xu to work for the lonely father, I am afraid that Wang Xu will not agree.”
Shao Xueyi smiled: “His Royal Highness can just do what he likes. The subordinates heard that Wang Xu has taken a fancy to an antique, and that antique is now in the hands of the Han family.”
The prince smiled and said, “In the hands of the lonely uncle, that would be much easier.”
……
Guo Shi Hall, in the ward of Qilin Hall, Xiao Heng took out the portrait of Shangguan Qing and looked closely.
Gu Chengfeng performed light work and came to the yard, pulled the Xuan window to the largest extent, and turned in from the window sill.
“How is it going? It’s not showing up, right?”
“No.” Xiao Heng said.
Gu Chengfeng came to Xiao Heng and sat down, looked at the sleeping Shangguanyan, and then at the sleeping Gu Jiao, and reached out to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng gave him a weird look: “What?”
Gu Chengfeng raised his hand: “Two taels of silver, I bought the clothes on your body for nothing? A tael of silver is for clothes, and one tael is for travel expenses. You don’t want to think about your success. How much credit does this clothes account for? People rely on clothing, and Buddha rely on gold. You are singing today. Without this costume, your stage can’t stand up! Do you know how difficult it is to find a dress similar to the portrait?”
Xiao Heng said: “I didn’t have any money on my body, and Jiaojiao woke up in a while, I asked her to give it to you.”
Gu Chengfeng choked: “Well, then forget it.”
Let that girl pay for the money, isn’t it killing that girl? It would be nice if he wasn’t emptied out of his wallet.
Gu Chengfeng’s gaze fell on the portrait: “Is the person in this portrait really the eldest grandson? How do I look more and more like you? You are not twins, right?”
“No.” Xiao Heng said.
“How do you know it’s not?” Gu Chengfeng asked.
“Birthdays are different, his birthday is ten days earlier than mine.” He asked Ye Qing in the library.
Gu Chengfeng said: “Birthdays can be faked. Isn’t Ming Junwang the same year as Shangguan Qing? I guess, is it more than ten days older that he can just overtake Ming Junwang as the eldest grandson?”
Xiao Heng looked confused: “Is that so?”
“Yeah!” Gu Chengfeng convinced himself.
“Leave this alone.” When Shangguanyan wakes up, everything will come to light. There are more important things for them to do right now.
Xiao Heng said: “Someone may see that I am not Shangguanqing.”
Gu Chengfeng’s action of pouring tea: “Who?”
Xiao Heng looked at a green leaf on a branch outside the window, and said with a cool light: “Wei Guan, Wang Xu.”
