Chapter 1597: The truth is revealed, Zhao Chun becomes a vassal

Most.

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.

Tang Anan and her son Zhao Chun did not follow Su Mingzhe to the Chengde Palace.

After the man left, Tang Anan began to embroider a robe for the man, preparing to give it to him as a gift on Halloween.

As she was embroidering, Tang Anan suddenly thought of something and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Although the man spends less time with her, she can go to the palace several times every month, and the man occasionally comes to the Duke's Mansion at night. Overall, she is quite satisfied with her current life.

It can even be said that the ten years of living in Dadu were the most peaceful and happiest ten years in Tang Anan's life.

"Queen Mother—Queen Mother—"

A burst of rapid shouting woke Tang Anan from her reverie. When she turned around, she saw her son Zhao Chun looking at her with a panicked look and anger in his eyes:

"Mother, Xiangfu is my biological father, right?"

"Chun Er, what are you talking about?"

Tang Anan looked at her son in panic. She had wanted to tell her son about his life experience for a long time.

However, Su Mingzhe didn't allow her to speak, so she endured it and didn't say anything.

Now, her son actually knew about it, which shocked her.

"Mother, you don't have to hide it from me anymore! I know everything. I am the son of the Prime Minister..."

Zhao Chun, who was already fourteen or fifteen years old, saw his mother's reaction and immediately confirmed that he was really a "bad seed".

Thinking of the throne that was taken away from him and his bizarre and absurd life experience, Zhao Chun collapsed on the ground in grievance and burst into tears.

At this moment, his grievances were like the destroyed embankment of the Yellow River. He could no longer control his sadness and tears flowed down his face.

Over the years, he has always thought that he is a descendant of the Zhao family, and silently suppressed his inner emotions, fantasizing that one day he would summon the old ministers of the Song Dynasty and return to the position of emperor.

The result disappointed him greatly, he turned out to be Su Mingzhe's son!

Many years of psychological perseverance were gone in an instant. How could a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old not collapse?
Seeing her son's painful expression, Tang Anan naturally felt uncomfortable as well. However, she was more concerned about one question:
"Chun'er, who is gossiping in front of you?"

Zhao Chun’s identity is actually quite secretive.

At least in Tang Anan's opinion, there are only a few people who know the truth.

And it is impossible for these people to bring up this old story in front of Zhao Chun.

When Zhao Chun heard his mother's question, he stopped crying and looked panicked, as if he had committed a serious mistake.

At this moment, a hateful voice came from outside the door:
"It's me! It's me, an old woman, gossiping in front of him!"

Xie Daoqing is over fifty years old. Although she still looks young and charming, her temples are already gray and she is no longer as beautiful as before.

When Tang Anan saw Xie Daoqing, who had been living in seclusion in the backyard Buddhist temple, show up, she was also panicked, but she could only put on a smile:
"How come elder sister has time to come and play with younger sister?"

"Bitch, what a good thing you have done!"

Xie Daoqing always thought that Zhao Chun was the son of the late emperor Zhao Yun.

In order to protect Zhao Chun, she silently endured countless bullying from Su Mingzhe.

In order to calm the physical and mental pain she suffered, she stayed in the Buddhist temple in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion all year round, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, hoping that the late Emperor Zhao Yun would not hate her after her death.

Who would have thought that the Zhao Chun she had been protecting was actually the biological son of Su Mingzhe, the thief who stole the country.

Ten years of accumulated anger made Xie Daoqing's originally dignified and beautiful face appear somewhat hideous and terrifying:
"Tang An'an, tell me the truth. How did you get pregnant with Su Mingzhe's child? How did you trick the late emperor into becoming his concubine?"

"And... and... and that evil villain Su Mingzhe. Does he know that Zhao Chun is his biological son?"

"Sister, I...I was confused at that time..."

Although Tang Anan didn't understand politics, she didn't dare to tell the truth when she saw Xie Daoqing looked like he was going to kill her. She quickly said that she and Su Mingzhe got pregnant because of a one-night stand.

As for whether Su Mingzhe knew Zhao Chun's identity, Tang Anan naturally denied it. After hearing what Tang Anan said, Zhao Chun just looked at the mother silently and lowered his head.

Over the years, every time Su Mingzhe came to Duke Qin's Mansion, Tang Anan would call Zhao Chun to reunite the father and son.

In the past, Zhao Chun only thought that her mother did this in order to be forbearing and eliminate Su Mingzhe's vigilance towards her.

Now he knew the reason, and he felt mixed emotions.

……

this day.

Su Mingzhe came to Xiaolongnu's bedroom, ready to rest, but received an urgent secret report from the Jinyiwei eight hundred miles away, and couldn't help but frowned:

"Why did the Crown Prince agree to Duke Qin's enfeoffment?"

The spy did not dare to hide anything and quickly reported:

"It was Duke Qin who submitted the memorial, and the Prime Minister agreed to it first!"

"Liu Bingzhong... this old bald donkey..."

After a brief thought, Su Mingzhe guessed what Liu Bingzhong meant.

It's just that over the years, I have been nice to Tang Anan and her son, and often asked about their well-being.

Liu Bingzhong allowed Qin Duke Zhao Chun to become a vassal, probably because he was worried that he would "return the throne" to Zhao Song one day.

Although this worry is nonsense, it has actually happened in history.

The most recent one was the Dali Kingdom more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Yang, an important official of Dali, rebelled. Gao took the opportunity to seize power, but after many years of being emperor, he returned the throne to Duan.

Therefore, it was natural that Liu Bingzhong, seeing how much he doted on Tang Anan and her son, would worry about his desire to "return to the throne".

A qualified politician should eliminate all hidden dangers in the bud.

……

"Go back!"

Su Mingzhe shouted at the spy to leave, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

He could understand what Liu Bingzhong and Crown Prince Su Hui did, but he still felt uncomfortable.

After all, Tang Anan is a stunning beauty whose appearance can rival that of Xiaolongnu and Cha Bi.

If I want to see her again in the future, I have to go to Xianyang, and I can no longer do it openly as before.

Wanyan Ping, who was serving beside him, saw the man's face turn pale and thought that the prince's behavior had angered the man, so she quickly whispered to comfort him:

"Your Majesty, Hui'er is still young. If there is anything he does wrong, you can teach him slowly. Hui'er has been filial since he was young and will definitely correct himself..."

Wanyan Ping's words of consolation were also due to her fear that the man would develop a grudge against Su Hui and consider replacing the crown prince.

You know, during these years, a total of hundreds of princes were born in the Ming Dynasty harem.

Although Su Hui is Xiaolongnu's eldest son, he is also the eldest legitimate son of the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has been named the Crown Prince.

However, in addition to Crown Prince Su Hui, Su Mingzhe also favored the sons of Imperial Concubine Cha Bi, Virtuous Concubine Cheng Ying, and Virtuous Concubine Wang Chen.

It was clear that the Emperor did not favor the Crown Prince alone, and that the Empress, Xiao Longnu, looked cold all day long and never competed for favor.

Wanyan Ping was really afraid that one day Su Mingzhe would lose interest in his sister Xiaolongnu and then depose the queen and the crown prince.

Su Mingzhe could guess Wanyan Ping's worries, but he was too lazy to explain to her.

He was now furious and wanted to find Xiaolongnu to ask her to help him put out the fire.

Xiaolongnu's body temperature is much lower than that of ordinary women, but when her emotions surge, her whole body will become hot.

This rapid exchange of hot and cold always gives Su Mingzhe extreme enjoyment.
