Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

The prime minister pondered for a long time, and hesitation and worry in his heart surged like a tide.

After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind and decided to go to Prince Rong's Mansion in person.

Because he knew clearly that if Prince Rong knew nothing about that matter, then when the matter came, Prince Rong would be unprepared and fall into a passive situation.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, the prime minister felt it necessary to tell Prince Rong the truth.

Let him be mentally prepared so that he can cooperate with them to take precautions as early as possible.

At Prince Rong's Mansion, Prince Rong's face was originally as gloomy as a dark cloud, but after seeing the Prime Minister, his expression eased a little.

Prince Rong was obviously very surprised by the Prime Minister's sudden visit. He asked, "Great-grandfather, what important matter has brought you here today?"

The Prime Minister did not directly answer Prince Rong's question. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Go to the study. It's time for you to know some things."

Although Prince Rong was full of doubts, he still obediently led the prime minister into the study.

This scene was seen by the secret guards that Xie Yanci had placed in Prince Rong's mansion to monitor the situation.

Seeing them walk into the study, a secret guard immediately followed them.

After entering the study, the prime minister's expression became solemn. He looked around, as if to confirm whether the surroundings were safe.

He lowered his voice and asked with a cold expression, "Is it safe here?"

Prince Rong naturally understood what the Prime Minister meant. He nodded quickly and said, "Great-grandfather, don't worry. It's absolutely safe here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I guarantee that no one else will know except you and me."

Just as Prince Rong made a solemn promise, An Yi, who was hiding in the dark, rolled his eyes.

In his heart, he secretly laughed at Prince Rong's arrogance. No matter how strict Prince Rong's defenses were, there would always be a way for those who wanted to come in to break through the defenses.

Although he heard Prince Rong assure that no one had heard, the Prime Minister still lowered his voice and said, "In fact, I am not your great-grandfather, but your great-great-grandfather!"

Prince Rong looked confused and obviously did not understand what the prime minister said. He looked at the prime minister in confusion, waiting for further explanation.

Seeing this, the Prime Minister sighed helplessly and continued, "Your true identity is actually the illegitimate son of the Zhao family. Your maternal grandfather, the Queen's father, is actually your grandfather.

Back then, your aunt, the queen, was pregnant, and the entire Zhao family was looking forward to the birth of this child. However, when the queen gave birth to the child, the child's face was defective.

In order to preserve your aunt's position and the Zhao family's legacy, the Queen Mother consulted with this humble official and decided to swap you with that flawed prince."

Prince Rong's face showed an expression of disbelief. He pointed at himself and said in a slightly trembling voice, "You said I'm a bastard of the Zhao family? How is that possible?"

In fact, his heart was like a raging storm at the moment, and he couldn't accept this fact at all.

He has always regarded himself as a prince, enjoying a noble status and wealth, but now he is told that his true identity is so humble. How can he accept this?

The prime minister's words kept echoing in his mind. His maternal grandfather became his biological grandfather, and his mother became his aunt. All of this made him feel extremely absurd and confused.

The Prime Minister looked at Prince Rong's shocked expression and knew that it would be difficult for him to accept this fact for a while, but he still nodded solemnly.

"There's no need for me to deceive you. You are indeed a bastard of the Zhao family. And your biological mother is the now-famous Concubine Wang of the Zhao Mansion."

The reason why the Zhao family favored Aunt Wang was to prevent Prince Rong from having a rift with the Zhao family after he ascended to the throne in the future.

Prince Rong's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. He stared at the prime minister, and the murderous intent in his eyes was like a turbulent undercurrent that could burst out at any time.

His voice was low and suppressed, but the anger contained in it was as hot as a volcano. "Since you have kept this secret for twenty-one years, why are you suddenly telling me now? What exactly do you want to do?"

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.

The rage in Prince Rong's heart had reached its peak, and he wished he could immediately draw his sword and chop the man in front of him to death.

This way no one would know his true identity.

Although the rage in his heart was already raging, Prince Rong still tried to maintain a little rationality.

He knew that if the secret was true, he had to act quickly instead of asking about the ins and outs here.

Time is pressing and any delay may have disastrous consequences.

The Prime Minister saw that he was raging with rage, looking as if he was ready to eat someone. He sighed and said:

"The Queen Mother and I originally wanted to take this secret to our graves, but things did not go as planned. Yesterday, I woke up to find a letter beside my pillow.

The letter said that she knew something the Queen Mother did in the past, and she also knew your true identity.

In order to alert you, I have to take the risk of informing you of this matter, lest you be caught off guard and have no time to plan."

Prince Rong said in a gloomy voice, "How many people know my true identity?"

"Aside from the person who delivered the letter, the Queen Mother and I, the only people in the Zhao family who knew about this were your grandfather and grandmother. Not even your father and Aunt Wang knew about it."

"Then why did you switch me with that prince?"

"Because you are the only one in the Zhao family who is of the same age as the prince." Otherwise, how could it be his turn as a bastard?

Prince Rong continued patiently asking, "What about the prince with the disfigured face? How did you deal with him?"

The prime minister put his hand on his neck and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Prince Rong breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "What did the Queen Mother do back then to make you so fearful and apprehensive?"

The Prime Minister swallowed his saliva and said, "Back then, the eldest prince born to the late queen did not die young, but was imprisoned by the empress dowager in a courtyard outside the capital.

But the eldest prince ran away when he was five years old and has not been found to this day."

Prince Rong really wanted to vomit blood. What was going on?

He gritted his teeth and said, "The person that the Queen Mother has been secretly searching for for so many years is the escaped eldest prince?"

The prime minister nodded, feeling overwhelmed. Any one of these incidents could lead to the execution of the entire Zhao family.

Prince Rong was really annoyed, "Now that I am disabled, what are you going to do?"

"I've thought about it. If Princess Rong gives birth to a boy, the plan will continue. If she gives birth to a girl, we'll just do it like we did back then and replace the baby with a fake one."

"Haha!" Prince Rong laughed sarcastically, "You guys are quite calculating."

The Prime Minister said: "Now the Zhao family can only move forward and cannot retreat. We can only bite the bullet and continue."

If they take a step back, the Zhao family will fall into an abyss.
