Zhan Lezhang's voice fell, and the imperial study room fell into a brief silence.

Eunuch Fan stood aside, quietly concealing the shock in his heart. It is not a secret that Zhan Lezhang, the young master of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, has a good relationship with the queen. Naturally, he is very clear about this, but now, Zhan Lezhang said that he is the orphan of the fourth prince.

Back then, the fourth prince went crazy because of the dead body and two lives of the prince and concubine. In order to cover up the scandal in the palace, the emperor at that time almost wiped away all traces of the fourth prince's existence. After death, he didn't even have a title.

"You know, if this secret is revealed, the Marquis of Dingyuan has committed a felony of deceiving the emperor."

Under the pressure of Shen Shenwei, Zhan Lezhang's back was still straight: "I know, but Xiaoling is my friend. Your Majesty will be close to King Han's fief during his southern tour. King Han has found the so-called orphan of the fourth prince. I worry that he will harm His Majesty and Queen."

Zhan Lezhang thought for a long time before deciding to reveal his identity. He knew that his decision was very risky and might affect the entire Dingyuanhou Mansion, but if he did not take the initiative to inform, with the current means, once he had It doesn't take long for the action to be found out.

Instead of passively exposing, it is better to speak out actively.

"The real young master of Dingyuan Hou's mansion is the child who was sent away?" Xiao Shengyun knew something about the past. Before the first emperor ascended the throne, the fourth prince was one of the most popular candidates for the throne. , something like this happened.

"No, the real young master has already passed away. He was born in poor health. When he was born, he encountered bandits making trouble, so he didn't survive." Speaking of this, Zhan Lezhang lowered his tone, "My father Marquis Dingyuan and his wife have great kindness, they lent me this identity in order to repay their kindness, they don't know that I am plotting revenge in private, I hope Your Majesty will not blame them, I am willing to bear all the crimes myself."

"You came back for revenge, so your approach to Ling'er is also part of the revenge plan?" Zhan Lezhang thought that revenge was his own business, and Xiao Shengyun would not care about it, but if Jiang Ling was involved, he couldn't ignore it.

"If I deny it at this time, Your Majesty may not believe it, but I really did not approach the Queen with any purpose."

"I will investigate this matter." If he really approached Jiang Ling with a purpose, Xiao Shengyun would definitely find a way to remove this person from Jiang Ling's life.

"You can't beg to see me just for this matter."

"Yes, I'm here to tell His Majesty some news about the King of Han. It is related to the past and the present."

Half an hour later, Zhan Lezhang was sent out of the imperial study by Eunuch Fan, and outside he saw Dingyuan Hou Shizi waiting for him to come out.

Zhan Lezhang came out intact, Dingyuan Hou Shizi heaved a sigh of relief, he took a step forward: "Go home."

Eunuch Fan watched the two of them leave and returned to the royal study.

Zhan Lezhang said a lot, and Xiao Shengyun ordered Xiaowei and the dark guard to secretly go to Hanwang's fief to check. If the news is true, he should make preparations early.

Han Wang has always had a low sense of existence. No one would have thought that he has done so many insane things and secretly planned such a big conspiracy.

Even the southern tour proposed by Qin Tianjian this time is related to it.

"Your Majesty, the southern tour..." Eunuch Fan couldn't help but speak after hearing the whole process.

"Han Wang prepared such a big gift for me, if I don't go and see it, wouldn't it be a waste of his painstaking efforts?"

Retiring despite difficulties has never been Xiao Shengyun's style.

Zhan Lezhang and Dingyuan Hou Shizi walked side by side on the road out of the palace. Without special permission, carriages are not allowed to enter the palace, and they must walk to the palace gate.

The carriage of Dingyuanhou's Mansion was waiting outside, and when he got on the carriage, Zhan Lezhang leaned against the wall of the carriage as if he had lost his strength. He had to maintain the highest vigilance and not show a single mistake in the imperial majesty. In just half an hour, it took a lot of effort.

Prince Dingyuan Hou handed him a glass of water, and said distressedly: "Le Zhang, you don't have to do this."

Zhan Lezhang finished drinking the hot water in the cup, and shook his head: "The Hou Mansion gave me shelter, and I can never repay my kindness."

If it was not Xiao Shengyun who ascended the throne, but other princes, he would be more confident that he would not be involved in the Dingyuanhou Mansion, but there is no such thing in the world, and there is Jiang Ling who made him feel sincere feelings. Seeing the disappointed expression, even though he knew that the risk of telling everything was high, he did it.

"I will follow this southern tour. It's time to settle the grievances and grievances of many years."

"Then have you ever thought about yourself?" Dingyuan Hou Shizi held his wrist, "Originally our plan was that you have been living with this identity, and now your majesty knows your identity, what should you do in the future? "

"With my sick body, it is God's protection that I can live until now. Who knows if I will have a future."

"Music..."

Zhan Lezhang looked at him calmly: "You know, when I escaped from the Fushi Sect, I was planted with poison. There is no antidote to the poison. I should be a dead person."

Dingyuan Hou Shizi was stung by his expression: "I will ask Your Majesty, there are so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, no matter how bad it is, there will always be a famous doctor in the world..."

Zhan Lezhang blocked his lips with the other hand: "It's useless, you know."

Of course Dingyuan Hou Shizi knew that in order to live to see his enemy get the punishment he deserved, Zhan Lezhang used the medicine of tiger and wolf from the very beginning. His vitality died in excruciating pain.

From the moment he decided to take the medicine, he had no way out, and they all knew it.

"Maybe it's really the Fengshui of the capital that nourishes people. You see, my health has improved a lot in the past two years." Feeling the pain from the man, Zhan Lezhang comforted him.

But that's just the appearance.

The more indifferent Zhan Lezhang showed, the deeper the discomfort in Dingyuan Hou Shizi's heart.

"Le Zhang, when this matter is over, please invite Dr. Chu from Tai Hospital to take a look at your body, okay? Maybe he can cure the poison in your body."

Zhan Lezhang stared at him for a while, Dingyuan Hou Shizi had a firm gaze and did not back down.

"Okay." Finally, Zhan Lezhang succumbed under such gaze.

Zhan Lezhang explained thoroughly, and according to what he said, Xiao Shengyun quickly verified it.

He didn't hide it from Jiang Ling, even if he wanted to, it wouldn't last long.

After Jiang Ling finished listening, she didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he finally spoke: "So, Yue Zhang is not a child of Marquis Ding Yuan, but a member of the royal family?"

"Is Ling'er angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"I'm angry that he lied to you."

Jiang Ling shook her head: "It's okay to be angry. He shouldn't spread the word about his life experience. He wants to avenge his parents. There are indeed other secrets about the matter of the fourth prince and the fourth prince's concubine."

Fighting for the throne has never been a child's play. This road is full of thorns and blood. If you don't pay attention, you will end up with nothing left.

"But if that's the case, why isn't King Han the one who ascended the throne in the end?"

"Because King Han's birth mother is not visible, there is no support in the court. After the first emperor married his mother back then, he got the support of Xie's family."

The Xie family was at its peak at that time. With the help of the Xie family, the late emperor's road to succession was extremely smooth. King Han's birth mother was just a maid in the palace of the fourth emperor's son, mother and concubine. She had him because of an accident. He was doomed to miss that position.

"It is rumored that King Han has a good relationship with the fourth prince, why did he want to kill the fourth prince?"

"It's true that he has a good relationship with the fourth prince. His birth was an accident, and he was not liked by the emperor at that time. It's pitiful for him. The fourth prince, mother and concubine raised him under his name. He grew up with the fourth prince. They have a very close relationship. It's intimacy."

But people's hearts are the most unpredictable thing. The fourth prince is valued by his father and loved by his mother. There are also many ministers in the court who support him. Growing up together, it is extremely easy to be compared by others, and as time goes by, dissatisfaction gradually arises in my heart.

The same is the prince, why can he get all the good things, but I only deserve to follow behind him and pick up what is left of him?

In the silent hall, King Han opened his eyes, and there was a hint of obscurity in his eyes.

"Is there any news from the capital?"

"If you go back to the prince, the date of the southern tour has been confirmed over there."

After waiting for so many years, he finally waited for this day.

That evening, as soon as Xiao Shengyun stepped into the bedroom, Jiang Ling stopped him: "Your Majesty, the seeds that Master Qianwu gave us seem to be about to bloom."

Jiang Ling has been planting this flower for three years, and he almost felt that Master Qianwu was bluffing him. This plant can't bloom at all. When she got up this morning, Jiang Ling went to water the flower as usual, and found that there were several flowers hidden between the leaves. A small flower bud.

Jiang Ling dragged Xiao Chengyun to the place where the flowers were planted, squatted down, and pushed aside the leaves for Xiao Chengyun to see: "Your Majesty, look, are there several small flower buds here?"

Xiao Chengyun also squatted down and touched it with his hand. The buds are light blue and tightly packed, and it should take some time before they bloom.

"This one has it too." Jiang Ling pushed aside another clump of leaves, revealing the pale pink flower buds hidden inside.

"I just don't know what these flowers are for."

The two looked at the flowers for a while, and Eunuch Fan came to report, saying that Dingyuan Hou Shizi asked to see him.

After Jiang Ling cleaned his hands, Xiao Shengyun wiped off the water stains on his hands: "Maybe I came here for Zhan Lezhang's matter, does Ling'er want to go together?"

If it was related to government affairs, Jiang Ling would definitely refuse without thinking about it, but regarding Zhan Lezhang, he was still very interested to take a look.

Most of what Zhan Lezhang told Xiao Shengyun was Han Wang's plans, and very few related to himself. He was Jiang Ling's recognized friend, and Jiang Ling could sense from the relationship between the two that Zhan Lezhang's sincerity, he hoped that his All friends are fine.

The two went to the South Study Room together.

Prince Dingyuanhou is already waiting here.

After meeting the two of them, Prince Dingyuan Hou knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Please, Your Majesty, save Le Zhang."

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Get up first, what's wrong with the music?"

Dingyuan Hou Shizi looked up, and Jiang Ling realized that his eyes were red.

"Get up and talk." Xiao Shengyun said.

Dingyuan Hou Shizi settled down and got up: "Today, Yue Zhang has not left the room. I went to ask, and the servant said that he has been sleeping. I am worried. I went in and looked, and found that he was cold and lying on the bed. No matter how much I screamed, I couldn't wake up, and I lost consciousness."

"How did this happen? Did you ask for a doctor?"

"Le Zhang was planted with poison in the Fushi Sect before," Dingyuan Hou Shizi briefly explained, "I would like to invite Dr. Chu from the Imperial Hospital to take a look at Le Zhang. I hope His Majesty will allow it."
