Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

How much of the conversation just now had they heard? The prince also became nervous, forgetting that this was the imperial palace, not the Prince of Jin's residence or the Prince of Qin's residence, and he could not speak carelessly!

The Queen stared at our clasped hands, and I followed her gaze and quickly pulled my hand back.

"Prince, is this the reason why you don't want to choose a crown princess?" The Queen thought that the crown prince didn't want to get married because he fell in love with me? What the hell is going on?

"No, mother..." the prince wanted to explain anxiously.

"Princess Jin is your brother's wife. It is enough for you to remember this." The emperor interrupted the prince's explanation.

"We didn't actually..." I also want to explain, it's not what you think!

“Princess Jin, please stay away from the East Palace in the future. I saw you two talking and laughing here from afar. With so many people passing by here, why aren’t you worried about being seen?” The Queen frowned.

"It's because there's nothing wrong between me and the prince that I'm not worried!" I whispered...

"Mu Mu and I have a simple relationship as brother and sister!" The prince finally had the chance to speak and explain himself.

The emperor still stared at me intently, as if he wanted to see through me. "Come to Longteng Palace!" The emperor's tone made me feel very cold, and this coldness was very familiar... like someone...

------------

He arrived at the Longteng Palace with trepidation, stood in the emperor's study, and faced two people who were sitting there with serious faces.

"It's a pity that Xia Tong and the others are not my real family! No matter how good they are, there are always flaws in their hearts. I still miss my parents! What do you mean by this?" The emperor looked at me expressionlessly. "You are not Xia Tong's daughter? Is that what you mean?"

I looked at the prince nervously. It was terrible. I was found to be a fake. I wondered how much they had heard. Did they even hear the prince's words that he wanted to go back? Being a fake prince seemed to be even more serious than being a fake minister's daughter!

"Speak!" the emperor shouted!

"Yes!" What else can I say?

"Father, can you listen to my explanation?" The prince also started to get nervous. This was a group of people bullying the emperor!

"Speak!" The emperor was still unsure of what to do. When he suddenly heard that Princess Jin was not Xia Tong's daughter, he just felt that something was wrong. He didn't think too far. After all, she was his beloved daughter-in-law!

"Mu Mu is actually an orphan. She temporarily lives in the Palace of Prince Qin because she has a similar temperament to the Prince of Qin. After meeting Mu Mu a few times, I became friends with her. When my mother asked about it that day, I felt that an orphan should not be allowed to live in the palace as a guest of honor. Then I suddenly remembered that Minister Xia's surname was Xia and he had resigned. Anyway, it was just an insignificant topic of conversation, so I made up an identity for Mu Mu. I didn't expect that she would become the Princess of Jin in the end, and the secret was covered up." The prince hadn't finished speaking when he was sweating in the winter. In the past few years, he had witnessed the end of many people who bullied the emperor!

"Does Xia Mu really have nothing to do with Xia Tong?" the emperor asked coldly. Could it be that this prince was the first person to lie?

"Yes, it was only after my mother talked about it in the palace that I realized it was directly related to the arranged marriage. But it was too late, so I hurried to the Prince Qin's Mansion to tell Mu Mu about his identity!" The prince answered cautiously!

"Does Minister Xia and his family also know about it?" the emperor asked again.

"Yes, and later I wrote a letter to tell Minister Xia, only to find out that Minister Xia had a niece in the countryside who died of illness a few years ago, so Mu Mu took over this position. Xia Tong still doesn't know that Mu Mu is not his daughter! This lie seems very coincidental." The prince's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"Minister Xia and Xia Tong's family all know?"

"Except Xia Tong, everyone else knows!" replied the prince.

"In other words, you have united to bully the emperor?" The emperor finally remembered this serious question.

"Father, I did not mean it." The prince knelt down quickly.

As a fake, I don’t seem to have any right to speak here. I can only stand when the prince stands and kneel when the prince kneels. It seems that the emperor only heard my words and didn’t hear anything about the prince! Not bad! Not bad!

"Does the Prince of Jin know?" The emperor thought of his beloved son who was away on an expedition! If he was also kept in the dark, that would be something the emperor could not tolerate!

"he does not know!"

"How many people know? Tell me!" the emperor suddenly shouted. The King of Jin didn't even know that his wife was an orphan? Was he deceived just like himself?

"Father, please calm down!" The prince was frightened by the emperor's anger.

I started to feel something was wrong...

"Minister Xia's family knows, Xia Tong's wife and son know, and the King of Qin and I know. That's all!" The prince hardly dared to look the emperor in the eye. In ancient times when human life was worthless, what was the blood relationship in the imperial family worth?

"You all deceived the emperor, deceived the emperor!!" The emperor hated being deceived the most. "An orphan actually became my daughter-in-law! You deceived me and the King of Jin!" The emperor became furious!

"It was not intentional, Father!"

"It was not intentional? The collusion between Xiushu and Minister Xia's family can be considered unintentional? Prince, you disappoint me!" The emperor looked at his son kneeling on the ground, but was unwilling to even look at me.

Aren't we getting along well? Aren't we a family? I don't understand, is my origin so important? Apart from the deception of my identity, I have never harmed anyone in the royal family!

"Your Majesty, please calm down and find out the whole story first!" The Queen was also scared!

"I don't need your teaching! The prince has returned to the East Palace to reflect on his mistakes. You! You are not allowed to step out of the room!" The emperor pointed at me.

I looked up at him. "Is identity really that important? I didn't want to get married at the time, and I didn't understand why we had to keep making up an identity. If we explained, we would lose our heads. That's why we kept it a secret!"

"You are committing a capital crime for deceiving the emperor!" The emperor stared at me with wide eyes, then looked at my stomach, his eyes seemed to wander for a moment, "You go down first!" His tone was not so tough anymore!

"Yes, father!" The prince nodded at me and told me to leave quickly.

The emperor took an entire night to digest everything that had happened!

The next day outside Longteng Palace -

The Crown Prince and the King of Qin knelt outside the palace gate, but the Emperor refused to see them.

The King of Chu and the King of Yan had already listened to what the King of Qin had said the night before, and now they hurried over.

"Prince, is father still not coming to see you?" Prince Yan asked the prince who was kneeling on the ground.

"Well! Although it was deceiving the emperor, it was not malicious. We did it unintentionally. How could we know that Mu Mu could become the Princess of Jin!" said the prince.

"I think the problem is that you didn't tell the seventh brother that Mu Mu is an orphan. Maybe your father cares more about the issues that the seventh brother doesn't know now!" King Chu analyzed the emperor's psychology!
