Kick the scumbag, she brought space and married the national teacher to rebel

Gong Beixuan put the candle away and walked over to say, "The emperor has issued an order to depose you and your son, and Long Shihua's status as the crown prince will be announced at the morning court tomorrow.

Although I am the Imperial Master, I cannot influence the Emperor's will. If you want us to save you and the Hong family and restore Long Shirui to the position of Crown Prince, it is impossible."

"If that's the case, why did you come here? You can't just not help me with anything. I'll tell you everything."

Hong looked at Chu Feiyan and threw out the bait, "Chu Feiyan, don't you want to know why your parents went to Pingling Pass? Why can't you find the Dragon Hidden Order?"

"My Chu family has been generals for generations. It's not surprising that my parents are stationed at Pingling Pass." Chu Feiyan said coldly.

"It seems that your mother thought too simply. She let you grow up in the border area. Although you are far away from the big dye vat of Kyoto, you don't understand the sinister nature of human beings. No wonder you fell in love with Xiao Changchuan and married into a family like Xinwu Marquis Mansion!" Hong shook her head regretfully.

Chu Feiyan: “…”

She fell in love with Xiao Changchuan at that time because the Xiao family had no power or influence in the court. Only if she chose to marry into such a family would the emperor feel at ease.

"With the merits your Chu family has made, if there is no war, there is no need to be stationed at the border. Moreover, the Chu family has an old father, and your parents went to the border not long after their wedding, and you were even born there. Don't you realize that something is wrong?"

"We really want to know, but it's not worth the price we have to pay to save you. We already have some evidence, and the truth will eventually come out." Chu Feiyan said coldly.

They have already investigated and found out that the emperor had several officials slander the Hong family so that they would have a reason to bring down the Hong family. If they wanted to reverse the verdict on the Hong family, they would offend the emperor.

Seeing that the conversation had reached a stalemate, Mrs. Hong lowered her head and said nothing more.

"But we can save Long Shirui." Gong Beixuan said:

"Long Shirui did nothing wrong. It was because you angered the emperor that he was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned. He was implicated by you. The emperor will not live for many days. If Prince An ascends the throne, he will never let him live."

Panic flashed in Hong's eyes. She stood up and knelt before them. "Master Imperial Master, as long as you can rescue Rui'er and the Hong family and let them return to their ancestral home, I don't ask for anything else now. As long as they can survive, that's enough. You should be able to do it, right?"

"Okay!" Gong Beixuan nodded in agreement.

"Then tell me! What did my mother know? Why did she run to the border to hide?" Chu Feiyan asked her.

"Let me talk about Prince An's mother first!" Hong leaned against the wall, her thoughts drifting away.

"Prince An's biological mother was actually the late emperor's concubine. That woman was beautiful and charming, and was very favored by the late emperor. The emperor had an affair with her at some point, and she became pregnant.

During one of their affairs, your mother caught them in the act. Concubine Shu knelt down to plead with your mother, saying that the child was innocent, begging her to keep the secret for them, and promising that they would not have any more contact in the future.

Chu Feiyan was shocked again. The emperor was having an affair with the woman of the late emperor's grandfather? She was even pregnant!

This news is so shocking!

Hong continued, "Your mother is soft-hearted. If the late emperor knew about this, the emperor's position as crown prince might be in jeopardy, and even the woman and the child would die. The emperor and your mother are brothers from the same mother, so naturally he didn't want him to be demoted, so he chose to conceal it for them.

But your mother's kindness did not win their gratitude, but instead brought her a fatal disaster. That woman wanted to kill your mother, bribed one of the princess's maids, and secretly poisoned her tea.

It was fortunate that the princess was not destined to die. After taking a sip of tea, she lost hold of the cup and it slipped. The tea scalded her hand and the cup fell to the ground.

Just from that sip of tea, the princess was poisoned. She vomited blood and had constant abdominal pain. The imperial doctors were helpless.

The late emperor hurried over after hearing the news. It happened that the old imperial teacher was traveling here at that time and came to the palace to see the late emperor, so he also came over.

The old imperial teacher took an antidote pill, gave it to the princess, and performed acupuncture on her, which saved her life.

The late emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the poisoning. However, none of the 20 maids around the eldest princess admitted to poisoning. The late emperor was furious and wanted to beat them all to death, but was stopped by the old imperial teacher. He interrogated the maids and found the person who poisoned them.

The old imperial teacher used magic to make the maid tell the truth, confessing that the poisoner was Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had already given birth to the child at that time. When she was brought in, she denied it flatly and even accused the princess of deliberately slandering her.

The eldest princess was very angry and no longer concealed their affair. The late emperor was so angry that he almost fainted and immediately ordered the execution of Concubine Shu and her son.

The emperor arrived and knelt down to plead for the mother and child, which made the late emperor so angry that he kicked him away. The concubine was dragged out and beaten to death, and the child was also brought in, who is now Long Shihua. The late emperor picked up the child and was about to throw him to death, but was stopped by the old imperial teacher.

When Chu Feiyan heard this, he guessed what was going to happen next.

"After all, Long Shihua was of royal blood, so the late emperor spared his life and announced to the public that Concubine Shu and her son had died of illness. Concubine Xian was just a beauty at the time, so the emperor took Long Shihua away and gave her to Concubine Xian to raise, and promoted her to a concubine.

Until now, Concubine Xian probably doesn't know who Long Shihua's biological mother is? And the emperor has hated your mother and the late emperor since then. But these are not the reasons why the princess went to the border. "Hong said.

"Why is that?" Chu Feiyan couldn't help but ask.

"Because the late emperor was very disappointed with the emperor, he wanted to depose the crown prince and make your mother the next emperor." Hong said.

"Is this true?" Chu Feiyan was surprised and looked at Gong Beixuan. The late emperor's grandfather actually thought of letting his mother become the emperor?

She thought of her mother's wooden box and felt something vaguely.

The whereabouts of the Dragon Hidden Order has been unknown. Could it really be in that small wooden box?

"Is the death of the previous emperor related to the emperor?"

"I don't know about this." Hong shook her head. "Since the death of the concubine, the emperor has been in a state of depression for a while. The late queen was very ill at that time. She hadn't seen her only son for many days, so she heard some bad news and came to the East Palace with her sick body and slapped him hard.

A few days later, the late queen died of illness. The emperor cried bitterly in front of the coffin before he began to cheer up. Later, the eldest princess went to the border with the general.

But on the eve of their departure, the late emperor summoned the eldest princess to the palace, and the father and daughter talked in the imperial study for the entire night. No one was around, and no one knew what they talked about in there.
