The two of them were talking when a man suddenly appeared in front of them.

The man walked forward without looking at the road at all, as if he was hiding from someone.

He raised his head when he realized that he almost bumped into someone, and was about to say sorry, but suddenly stopped.

It took a long time before he said, "See His Royal Highness the Prince".

Qi Wenliang read fear from his eyes, and it was utter fear.

He smiled and asked, "Don't you always call me Prince's Cousin? Why are you so different all of a sudden?"

Shen Sili hurriedly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "In the past, I didn't know the rules, and I will never dare again in the future. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will not mind."

Qi Wenliang bent down to help him, and found that his whole body was shaking, "Cousin, why is he so afraid? I'm not a man-eating beast. I saw you at the mother's queen's place a few days ago, and you were not like this, but this paragraph What happened to time?"

It's okay not to say, when I heard this Shen Sili just remembered: I just robbed the prince not long ago.

Before his mother brought him into the palace, she suddenly asked the queen to marry him and Liang Qian. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing that the queen liked Liang Qian, so he forgot to refuse.

Later, when he heard that Qi Wenliang agreed to the marriage, he didn't think much about it.

But now that he knew that Qi Wenliang was a smiling tiger, he couldn't fathom Qi Wenliang's mood when he agreed.

In case Qi Wenliang intends to make Liang Qian the crown princess, then...Shen Sili didn't even dare to think about it, and trembled even more.

But at this time, there were footsteps behind him again, so he had no choice but to stand firm on his weak legs, bid farewell to Qi Wenliang, and left in a hurry.

Qi Wenliang was still confused when a second person appeared in a hurry.

Seeing that Qi Wenliang was still in a stable mood, he hurried away after saluting.

"This is Zhong Han, the only son of the Zhong family, right?" Qi Wenliang asked Mo Bai, "I remember he was Qi Zian's companion."

Mo Bai knew that this question was not actually asking him, so he silently waited for the next sentence.

Sure enough, Qi Wenliang spoke again: "My cousin has always been fearless. He is a little devil king in the capital. He suddenly changed his temperament. I don't know what it has to do with Zhong Han. Go check it out when you have time." Bar."

"I'm his cousin anyway, so I should care about him more."

"Yes!" Mo Bai took the order.

After such an interruption, Qi Wenliang forgot about the anomaly in that room, and followed Mo Bai straight to today's topic.

Today's topic is in a secluded cabin.

Qi Wenliang followed Mo Bai's turn and turn, and turned into this hut until his head became dizzy.

There was already a person waiting in the room, and when he saw Qi Wenliang, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Is it Shunzi? I haven't seen him for many years." It turned out that Qi Wenliang still knew this person.

He stepped forward to help Shunzi up, then winked at Mo Bo, and Mo Bo exited the house and closed the door tightly, guarding silently.

Only then did Qi Wenliang ask Shunzi: "Today...but what do you want to say to me?"

At this time, Shunzi still hesitated.

But if he didn't say it, it would weigh on his heart like a boulder, and when he thought that Qi Wenliang still remembered him, he felt more and more that Qi Wenliang should not hide this matter.

A person who was born to be a slave, but is remembered by a nobleman who only met once, will indeed be grateful.

It's a pity that Shunzi doesn't know, but there is no one who Qi Wenliang met once, and he doesn't remember it.

To Qi Wenliang, he has nothing special at all.

Finally, he made up his mind.

Because the words he was about to say were too heavy, he looked up at Qi Wenliang, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother... Before my mother passed away, she was so sleepy all day long that she accidentally missed something in front of me." one thing."

"She said that she has a secret that has been kept in her heart, and she dared not speak it out for many years, which made her breathless. She said...she once helped the empress to transport a baby into the palace."

Shunzi's mother used to be the queen's personal maid before she got married, and she was very trusted by the queen.If the empress hadn't been married before she got married, the maid in charge of Fengyi Palace wouldn't be Fangzhu now.

When Qi Wenliang could remember, the empress had asked her to bring her child into the palace. If the empress wanted to do this, she would indeed be responsible for the part outside the palace.

Qi Wenliang didn't know Shunzi well, but Shunzi's family was the queen's confidants, so he didn't think Shunzi would be bought by others.

In other words, he believed the incident was not fabricated.

Most importantly, this event itself is very likely to happen.

Qi Wenliang believed in his mother, and believed that the queen would not cuckold the emperor.

Because she valued her majesty and dignity as a queen more than the emperor's favor.No matter how the emperor treats her, it is impossible for her to have an affair with others.

However, when the emperor ascended the throne and the harem expanded, it was very dangerous for her to be a queen without any heirs.

Especially with the character of the emperor, it is easy to do things like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges.

Therefore, the queen must have a son after the new emperor succeeds to the throne. Even if she does not plan for her own status, she must plan for the survival of the Shen family.

But such things as sons are not available, unless... there is one ready-made.

Unless, the civet cat is replaced by the prince.

That's right, Qi Wenliang thought in a daze, the timing of his birth was too coincidental.

He was born in June of the first year of Tianzhao.

The emperor ascended the throne in the first month, and he was born in June.

In other words, he was exactly four months old when the emperor came to the throne.

This month is delicate.

Counting backwards, if he was born after June, he would have been conceived three months before the emperor ascended the throne.

The two or three months before the emperor's ascension to the throne was the most intense time of the previous battle for the throne.

The battle for the throne caused a bloodbath in the capital, and the emperor must have had no time to spend on love for his sons and daughters.

It didn't make sense for the queen to be pregnant during that time.

If it was later, it would mean that the old emperor was pregnant during the national mourning period after his death, which would be unfilial!

If it was later, to avoid the national funeral, it would be difficult to guarantee that other women would not take the position.

The emperor is the son of heaven, he did not abide by the rules and favored concubines during the national mourning period, and no one dared to say anything; the other concubines were just concubines, even if they were pregnant during the national mourning period, once the prince was born, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages.

The queen is different, he is the mother of the country, and if he makes a mistake, he will cause people to discuss it.

She herself has very strict rules, and she will never be favored during a national funeral.

If the emperor intends to suppress the Shen family, he will definitely use this time to favor other concubines.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Qi Wenliang cannot be born after June.

So... before June?

No, no!

If Qi Wenliang was born before six months, then the empress would have been pregnant four months before the emperor ascended the throne.

At that time, the imperial city was still in chaos. If she was pregnant, someone would definitely report it.

But at that time, the situation was chaotic, and no one knew whether the current emperor was about to rise to the sky or fall into the abyss.

The queen did not dare to falsely report in advance that she was pregnant.

Because it was a critical moment, maybe a lie would kill the entire government.

Therefore, when the emperor came to the throne, the queen could only be pregnant for more than three months.

After all, the last three months have been in chaos, and I haven't found that it can be regarded as human nature.

That's the only way to justify it.

Therefore, June of the first year of Tianzhao was the best time and the only suitable month for Qi Wenliang to be born.

The timing of his birth was too suitable and favorable for the empress. It was hard not to make the emperor doubt it at such a coincidental time.

After all, how can you pinpoint the time so accurately when you have a child.

This also happens to explain why the emperor doesn't want to see Qi Wenliang so much.

The emperor was skeptical but had no proof.

Because she can't tear herself apart with the Shen family yet, she can't rashly bring up such things as a blood test.

Because he can't be sure if this is his child, he can't use such absurd reason to abolish the prince.

The negative emotions in his heart burned into flames, and there was nowhere to vent his anger, so it all fell on Qi Wenliang's head.

Anyway, he doesn't like Qi Wenliang, so he won't feel any psychological burden if he is worse than Qi Wenliang.

This makes sense.

But the more it made sense, the colder Qi Wenliang's heart became.

Almost instantly, Qi Wenliang thought through all the above.

He has even begun to guess who spread the rumors about going to the capital.

In the past so many years, he has never doubted his own life experience.

He firmly believes that the emperor is his father, so he always respects the emperor.

In the end, he found that not only might he not be the emperor's biological son, but he might also have no blood relationship with the empress.

His heart was full of turmoil, but his face was calm and unwavering. He still had a slight smile and said to Shunzi: "Thank you for telling me about this, and please keep it a secret for me. Only you and I can know about it." , understand?"

Shunzi nodded again and again, "The villain knows, even if the villain dies, he won't tell the story!"

Qi Wenliang smiled and said thank you again, then went out and said to Mo Bai: "Let's go, go change clothes."

Mo Bo knew that the person he found today knew about Qi Wenliang's life experience, so he added another sentence: "Then...do we need to get rid of him?"

Qi Wenliang shook his head, "No, after all, he is the son of my mother's confidant, so there is some affection."

Mo Bai nodded, and heard Qi Wenliang say again: "The matter is very important, you need someone to watch him. In addition, if there are any clues in this matter, you can continue to investigate further."

Although he believed that Shunzi would not tell lies, such ambiguous news did not make him completely believe that his blood was different.

Mo Bo is a smart person, from these two sentences, he can guess what answer Qi Wenliang got today.

Qi Wenliang was willing to disclose such a big matter to him. Mo Bai was grateful for Qi Wenliang's trust in him, and was determined to find out more.

Soon, they changed their clothes and went back to Qi Zi'an's room.

The time it took to go back and forth this time was neither long nor short, so Xiao'e felt a little anxious, but Qi Zi'an did it steadily.

When Qi Wenliang came back, he asked cordially: "Brother Huang is back?"

I don't know if it's his intention or Qi Wenliang is too sensitive, but the word "brother emperor" seems to be accentuated.

Hearing these two words, Qi Wenliang's heart suddenly trembled.

No matter how calmly he behaved, there was something different in his heart.

How could such a big news suddenly have no impact at all.

At this moment, he was suddenly glad that he had always called Qi Zi'an Zi'an, not third brother.

Because he couldn't guarantee that calling Qi Zian's brother against his will at this time would reveal his flaws.

He was about to think of a way to end today's appointment early, but suddenly it became extremely noisy downstairs.

At first there was the sound of running footsteps, then there was the crash of tables and chairs being knocked over, and finally, people's terrified shouts also sounded.

"Murder! Murder!"

"Help! Help!"
