A Guide to Keeping a Domestic Unicorn

In the study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Taiyuan pulled all the decorations on the table to the ground, Longyan was furious, pointed at the third prince who was kneeling on the ground and shouted angrily: "Where did you get this thing?! Tell me!!"

The so-called "that thing" refers to the old box on the table, which contains a pendant and a letter in a yellowed brocade handkerchief.

"It was presented by a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, saying that it is a royal secret, and it has a lot to do with you, my father! This is why my son came to offer it!! Father, forgive me! Forgive me! My son does not know this What is it, but seeing that the father and father of Zhuizi also have the same one, I feel strange, so..." The third prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Injustice! Injustice!!!" Emperor Taiyuan slapped the table heavily, "Get out of here!!!"

The third prince hurriedly left the study upon hearing the words.

But Emperor Taiyuan's state of mind was like a violent storm!

The pendant was a token of love he personally presented to Concubine Zi Shu [the prince's birth mother] when he visited privately in Weibo back then. It was passed down by his mother and concubine. When Concubine Shu, Concubine Zi Shu said that the treasure pendant was lost, he didn't pursue it too much at that time, and believed Concubine Zi Shu's words.

However, after 20 years, this lost treasure pendant appeared again!Not only that!The treasure pendant was even accompanied by a brocade handwritten letter by Concubine Zi Shu, which almost shook his soul away!

The treasure pendant and handwriting are all real!It is impossible to fake it!That is indeed Zi Shufei's handwriting!For so many years, he missed Concubine Zi Shu day and night, and read her handwritten letters every day, how could he not know him?And the pendant is indeed made by the royal family, even the scratches that I accidentally made when I was a child are still there! !

Emperor Taiyuan sat heavily on the chair, covering his head with his hands.

What was written on the brocade handkerchief was a love poem.

A love poem he had never seen before.

There is only one possibility - Concubine Zi Shu gave the treasure pendant she presented to another man along with this brocade love poem back then...

He met Concubine Zishu privately in a micro-service, and married her as the emperor about a few months after separation. At that time, she said that she was pregnant. Looking back now, during the few months when he left her, did she... Chastity?

The crown prince was born prematurely, which caused Concubine Zi Shu to suffer from postpartum hemorrhage, so if the crown prince was not born prematurely, but...

What about other species? !

One catastrophic thought after another kept flashing in Emperor Taiyuan's mind, making him unable to breathe.

if?The prince whom I have loved for 18 years is actually not my son? !

"Come here! Call the Third Prince over here!!" Emperor Taiyuan suddenly stood up and shouted to the palace people outside.

He wants to meet the rich merchant who offered these things!No matter how ulterior motives that person has, he must figure out what happened 18 years ago! !

That night, a rich businessman with a big belly was secretly declared into the palace, and had an audience with the emperor in the secret palace.

He knelt on the ground and said: "This box is the relic of Concubine Zi Shu, which I accidentally obtained when I was doing business in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, I come here to offer it!"

"Tell me the whole story! What is the origin of this box!" Emperor Taiyuan said with a gloomy expression.

The wealthy businessman tremblingly said: "This casket was originally a relic of a local scholar. Before the scholar died, he ordered his relatives to bury the casket with him. I bought it by chance, and found that there was the name of Concubine Zishu on the brocade handkerchief, and the royal mark was also on the treasure pendant, so I was shocked, so I came to present it!"

"If one word you said is false, do you know what will happen to you?" Emperor Taiyuan said.

"The villain dare not! The villain absolutely dare not deceive the emperor!!" The wealthy businessman kowtowed quickly.

"Who is that scholar?!" Emperor Taiyuan questioned while rubbing the pendant in his hand.

The rich businessman said: "Twenty years ago, the scholar was a well-known handsome man and talented man in the south of the Yangtze River. His father was a family friend with Concubine Zi Shu's deceased father. Dare I say..."

"You say, I forgive you for your innocence."

"They...are called...the golden boy and the jade girl..."

The treasure pendant in Emperor Taiyuan's hand was suddenly broken by him, he stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "What a golden boy and jade girl! What a golden boy and jade girl!! What's the name of the scholar?!"

"His name is... Lin Yihao!"

Emperor Taiyuan suddenly threw the treasure pendant in his hand on the ground!

Lin Yihao! !Zhu Hao! !

Zhu Hao was the name that Concubine Zi Shu personally chose for the prince before she died!

It turns out that there is still this layer of mystery! !

She never told herself that this Lin Yihao existed! !

"Your Majesty! I also bought the portrait of Lin Yihao before his death and presented it to Your Majesty!" The rich merchant was still holding a scroll in his hand.

"Open!!" Emperor Taiyuan gritted his teeth.

The wealthy businessman stood up and opened the scroll, only to see a graceful and handsome man in the scroll, whose eyebrows and eyes are eight or nine points similar to the prince Zhu Hao! !

Emperor Taiyuan only took one look, then opened his eyes wide, and sat back on the chair as if his whole body collapsed.

For so many years, he thought that the prince just followed his mother's description, being extraordinarily handsome and gentle, but he didn't want... the source was here! !

The crown prince Xuanyuan Zhu Hao is not his own! !even! !He is not worthy of the imperial surname Xuanyuan! !

His surname should be Lin! !

I have raised my son for 18 years! !He even almost gave Jiangshan to the Lin family!

The last bit of attachment in Emperor Taiyuan's heart finally collapsed completely.

The third prince was suddenly demoted to be a commoner for disturbing the audience and doing evil.

For a long time, the second prince and the third prince had a close relationship in private, but the two agreed that in order not to be framed by other princes, they pretended not to be close on the surface.

The third prince has always relied on his natal family being more powerful than the second prince. He is the leader in this secret alliance between the two, and the second prince is obedient to him. No matter what troubles arise, he is always the first to make decisions. The benefits were also secretly transferred to the third prince.

The third prince thought he was keeping a low profile, but after the downfall of the tenth prince, his chance came.

Unexpectedly, he was tricked by the second prince.

When the second prince handed over the box to him to judge and sacrifice, the third prince didn't think much about it, thinking that this was an opportunity to bring down the prince.

In fact, only the second prince knows Emperor Taiyuan better——Emperor Taiyuan is not a faint king, and even has a clear understanding of each prince's thoughts.

Whoever presents this casket is tantamount to condemning his own ambition to replace the crown prince.

The emperor will not tolerate such an ambitious family as a prince or even participate in the battle of the crown prince.

and so--

After the second prince heard the news, he showed an imperceptible smile.

So

His rival was missing one more.

Whoever can hold his breath will have the last laugh.

————————————————————

Thousands of miles away, the Khanate outside the Great Wall.

The book boy asked Immortal Shu Rong who was pretending to be the high priest: "How do you convince Emperor Taiyuan that he fell in love with a woman who is easygoing and flirtatious?"

Shu Rong said: "Back then Concubine Zi Shu's family was poor, the emperor didn't know the sufferings of the world at all, Concubine Zi Shu was self-reliant and arrogant, she thought he was the son of the capital, and she was unwilling to accept his help.

Later, after the emperor left, Concubine Zishu's mother was seriously ill. She had no choice but to use the jade pendant to save her life.Later, when the emperor married her in real identity, she was afraid that the matter of the jade pendant would offend the emperor, so she excused that the jade pendant was lost.

Coincidentally, this jade pendant was later collected by someone who is a member of the Zhao family who is now rebelling in the south of the Yangtze River.The Zhao family sent someone to secretly hand over this jade pendant to the second prince, intending to disrupt the situation, and the second prince actually colluded with Shan Yu. This series of information was finally gathered to me.

Of course, nothing can be determined just by a jade pendant.

In order to convince the emperor that he was indeed cuckolded, I found the soul of Concubine Zishu from the underworld—because she loved Emperor Taiyuan deeply, she was always unwilling to be reincarnated, so I lied to her that Emperor Taiyuan missed her and became ill. It made her write poems about missing Emperor Taiyuan on the Jinpa, and let me hand it to Emperor Taiyuan for her, expressing her consolation under the nine springs, saying that she will always wait for him.So there was Fang Jinpa.

Coupled with the cooperation of the Zhao family and Shan Yu, it is not difficult to completely forge a portrait of Lin Yihao and him that does not exist in Jiangnan. "

"So, Emperor Taiyuan has worn an illusory green hat that doesn't exist from the beginning to the end?" Shutong said.

"A cuckold enough to disturb his mind and break his seal!" Shu Rong showed a sinister smile.

In a valley somewhere in the southwestern hinterland,

Qingyan took Qi Jia to sneak into the enemy's camp. Qingyan was so good at lightness, it was not difficult to sneak in from the enemy's patrol formation with Qi Jia in his arms. The two first entered the tent with sundries and supplies Among them, I found a spare enemy uniform and put it on.

After that, he swaggered into the camp, looking for the location of the Southwest King.

The previous generations of Southwest kings were still trying their best to govern, but passed down to this generation, the current king is just a fool who only knows how to enjoy himself. If it weren't for the leader of the Gu God Sect fanning the flames, and Shanyu constantly sending people to persuade him, he would never have thought of it. to rebel.The Southwest King, who was full of dreams of the emperor, was still singing and dancing in his tent even when the battle was tight. It was not difficult to find his tent.

However, how to sneak into the Southwest King's tent guarded by elite soldiers is a difficult task. After all, there are only two people, Qi Jia and Qing Yan, and there are 20 troops stationed here.

Qi Jia thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a plan.He saw that there was no obstacle for those dancing and singing girls to enter and exit the Southwest King's tent, so he had an idea and said to Qingyan: "I have an idea, let us enter the Southwest King's big tent."

"What idea?" Qingyan asked.

"Come with me! Let's enter the warehouse first." Qi Jia said.
