System: [No. The Eighth Prince and his wife are deeply in love, how could they possibly have an affair!]

The Eighth Prince, who had just been frozen, thawed instantly, his eyes sparkling.

Yes! He knew that his princess would not betray him.

Suddenly, he heard a soft "tsk" sound next to him. The Eighth Prince turned his head and glared at his colleague, as if to say: What? Do you think my princess would cheat on you? !

The Minister of Revenue who was just trying to hold back a sneeze: ...are you sick?!

Yuanruan felt a little dizzy: [Huh? Tong'er, why don't you just explain the whole story clearly.]

System: [The Eighth Prince and the Eighth Princess have a very good relationship. The Eighth Prince is the best at going to war among the previous emperor's sons. Although the Eighth Princess is the daughter of a civil official, she is also brave and courageous. After they got married, the Eighth Prince often went to the battlefield, and the Eighth Princess would also go with him to be responsible for the rear baggage allocation. The Eighth Princess also saw through the enemy's night attack and personally went to the city wall to boost morale and defend the city. ]

The Eighth Prince immediately showed a proud expression, and grabbed the neck of an unfamiliar official from the Ministry of Revenue. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly shut up when he noticed Yuan Ruan's presence, and could only clench his fist in a small area.

The official from the Ministry of Revenue who was nearly strangled felt dizzy, and his expression became even more nervous when he noticed the Eighth Prince clenching and unclenching his fists.

Then he was taken out by the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Don't be afraid, he just wants to show off but can't open his mouth, so he is just furious."

Ministry of Revenue official: ...are you sick?!

Yuan Ruan suddenly sighed when he heard this: [Hey, they look a lot like the late emperor and the old concubine you told me about before]

System: [Hahaha. Yes. The old concubine likes this couple very much and takes good care of them. The late emperor also feels this way and often says something like "similar to me" to the old concubine in private.]

The onlookers looked at the Eighth Prince in surprise.

In their memories, the late emperor valued the Eighth Prince, but his attitude was cold, and sometimes he would get angry in public without giving him face. They never thought that the late emperor would say "The Eighth Prince is like me"? !

Yuanruan: [Wow. Generally, emperors like sons who look like themselves. The Eighth Prince was probably my brother's rival.]

The confused Eighth Prince twitched his lips:...

Little Imperial Master, you think too much. What my father usually shows me is his back and his roar.

System: [Hahaha, what can I say. Whenever the late emperor praised the Eighth Prince and his wife and said to the old concubine "similar to me and us", the old concubine would be sarcastic. Once, the old concubine pointed at the late emperor's nose and scolded, "Shameless! You can't compare to him at all." The late emperor was scolded so much that he dared not say anything and would vent his anger on the Eighth Prince. ]

Yuanruan was surprised: [Ah?]

System: [Really. But once the late emperor lost his temper with the Eighth Prince, the old concubine would see him and get even angrier at him, saying, "No way! You're breaking down! You have no mind and no generosity"... The late emperor was furious, but he was only angry for a moment. The late emperor didn't dare to continue losing his temper with the Eighth Prince, so he would avoid him with a cold face and digest his emotions by himself.]

Yuansoft: [……]

Eighth Prince: ...

Everyone else: ...6.

Yuan Ruan: [Tsk tsk tsk... This is hard to comment on. Let's continue with your previous topic. No one cheated, so what happened to Princess Mingqing? ]

System: [Yeah, I forgot about it because I was so excited just now. It's like this. After the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince got married, they tried many ways to have a child but couldn't. Finally, the Eighth Princess's mother found a great monk for her. The monk said that the Eighth Princess was destined to be childless and must first adopt a daughter as her own daughter, completely hiding the secrets of heaven, so that she could have a son in the future.]

Yuan Ruan suddenly realized: [Oh. So County Lady Mingqing is an adopted daughter? ]

System: [Yes. To be precise, they adopted the child as their own. The Eighth Princess’ mother personally arranged this. It happened that the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince were on the battlefield at the time and often didn’t see each other for several months. It was not difficult to pretend to be pregnant and give birth. In order to conceal the secret, even the Eighth Prince didn’t know about this.]

Yuan Ruan: [It turns out that even the Eighth Prince was kept in the dark. Whose child is Princess Mingqing? ]

System: [The Eighth Princess' biological mother originally wanted to have a descendant from the clan, but was rejected by the Eighth Princess. She adopted the daughter of a guard whose parents died in battle.]

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince suddenly recalled the battle in which countless people were killed and wounded.

When discussing how to arrange for the fallen soldiers, he also specifically asked about the daughter of his personal guard who died to save him.

No wonder the lady vaguely said that the guards had done a great job and the orphan girl was properly settled, but only this one, the lady did not say which family she was settled in. It turned out that she was settled in her own family.

Yuan Ruan: [What about the Yun family? Did the Eighth Prince betray the Eighth Princess?! ]

Eighth Prince:!!!

I didn't! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!

System: [No. Wasn't he going to war at that time? The Eighth Prince brought the Eighth Princess with him, and the Yun Family Master just bought a skinny horse from the side to accompany him. The skinny horse and the Eighth Princess were pregnant at the same time, and the skinny horse had always envied the relationship between the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince, especially when she saw the luxurious things that the Eighth Princess prepared for her son. She wanted to give her child a better life, so she deliberately found someone and medicine, calculated the time to start giving birth with the Eighth Princess, and then replaced the prince with a cat.]

Eighth Prince:!!!

what? !

His eldest son was replaced by that hateful concubine? !

No wonder the concubine was hesitant when Lao Yun questioned her! Stupid! Lao Yun is so stupid!

The Eighth Prince became angrier the more he thought about it and took a sudden step forward.

Then his left shoulder was grabbed by the Minister of Revenue, his right arm was held by the Third Prince, and the Minister of Justice stood in front of him, warning him to be quiet with his eyes.

Yuan Ruan took a deep breath: [This woman is sick. The Yun family is not bad either. ]

System: [Some people are just jealous. Besides, the Yun family is not bad, but the Eighth Prince's Mansion is obviously better. And the Eighth Prince's wife's child is the legitimate son, the eldest son, and the future prince. And her identity is a skinny horse. If she goes to the Yun family, she can only be a concubine at most. If she offends the mistress one day, she might be driven away. And that era was full of wars, and there were many loopholes that could be exploited, so she took the risk.]

Many court officials nodded.

The Minister of Justice even stroked his beard. He had seen many tragic cases caused by dissatisfaction.

Yuanruan's chubby face was full of emotion: [What a melodrama. But that high monk is quite interesting, he actually welcomed a child. Since adopting Princess Mingqing, the Eighth Princess has given birth to two sons. She is not afraid of losing a son, she will bring him home as a son-in-law.]

Everyone: That’s true.

At this moment, the young man knelt before the Eighth Prince again, kowtowed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Eighth Prince, I have something to trade with you privately."
