The villain of quick wear

Chapter 427 Abolishing the Flower Heart Carrot 13

Prince Rui is puzzled, his father's favorite candidate for the crown prince is him, so why is the current emperor sitting on the Dragon Throne a mediocre one?

Lord Rui suddenly looked at Jin Ran, his gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Jin Ran said calmly, "Grandfather and the late emperor have a mentoring relationship, and the late emperor trusted grandfather very much. You must know this."

Prince Rui nodded. The late emperor and Zhuge Jinran's grandfather, Zhuge Shengji, were deeply in love with each other. To say something disrespectful, it is not an exaggeration to say that they love each other like father and son.

Jin Ran said again, "One day, the late emperor invited his grandfather into the palace, and he mentioned to his grandfather the matter of setting up the crown prince, and said that soon after, the late emperor would make you the crown prince in front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty. Grandfather took the lead in agreeing to let this matter pass as soon as possible."

The majestic emperor of a country, in order to establish a prince, hoped that his mentor would take the lead in agreeing, and only hoped that it would be passed as soon as possible. The late emperor's love for Prince Rui was evident.

Prince Rui's mouth trembled, "Everything you said is true?"

Jin Ran said, "My lord, I have evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Does the edict count?"

Prince Rui was horrified, "What?"

Jin Ran said calmly, "Just in case, the first emperor issued an imperial edict. There are three copies in total. One is on the plaque in the study room, one is in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the last one belongs to my grandfather."

Jin Ran calmly analyzed, "It stands to reason that the Empress Dowager is very clear about the imperial edict. The late emperor preferred you to be the crown prince. Why is it that the current emperor sits on the dragon chair?"

Jin Ran didn't say much, and let Prince Rui think for himself.

There was a storm in Prince Rui's mind, and all the past flashed back clearly.

"According to what Zhuge Jinran said, the queen mother must know that I am the prince that my father prefers, but the person who enthroned as emperor is the younger brother of the emperor. Could it be the queen mother?"

"No, it's impossible. The emperor's younger brother is the son of the queen mother, and I am also the son of the queen mother!"

Prince Rui's lips were pale, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were somewhat deep.

"If Zhuge Jinran's words are true, I'm afraid that the whole line of the Zhuge family will be copied and killed. It was the emperor's younger brother who deliberately did it, and the purpose is to bury the truth of the imperial edict forever."

"If the truth is true, why did the queen mother hide the edict?"

Prince Rui was in a state of confusion, racked his brains, but couldn't think of a reason.

Jin Ran said at the right time, "My grandfather likes good wine. Your lord, you once gave my grandfather two altars of the century-old No. [-] Scholar Red. My grandfather was overjoyed and drank alone at the moon that night. My grandfather was old and weak. He drank a few cups of No. [-] Scholar Red and got drunk. Confused, he said something, saying that you are not the Queen Mother's parent and child."

Prince Rui was shocked, "How did you know such a secret?"

Whether it's about the edict or the fact that he is not the empress dowager's son, it is impossible for a woman to touch it, even if this person is the daughter of Zhuge's family, Zhuge Shengji's favorite granddaughter.

Jin Ran thought for a while, and said, "It should be my grandfather who couldn't bear you to be deceived by lies and falsehoods, so he told me with various excuses. Since I was a child, I have a strict mouth, a strict temper, and a daughter. Those people above can't dream of it." , Grandpa will tell me such secrets."

Prince Rui was noncommittal, staring at Jinran intently.

Jin Ran was magnanimous, his clear eyes met the gaze of Prince Rui.

After a while, Prince Rui withdrew his aggressive gaze, "How do you prove your words?"

Jin Ran said, "Are you the empress dowager's son or not? My grandfather didn't tell me the physical evidence. You need to check it yourself. But the imperial edict is indeed in the hands of my Zhuge family."

Prince Rui's breathing is short of breath. It's good to be an idle prince, but it's not worthwhile to be an emperor who guides the world.

Jin Ran said, "The edict was hidden by my grandfather in Peach Blossom Village, thirty miles away from the capital, and buried under the oldest peach blossom tree. Your lord, you can send someone to fetch it."
