Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2137

After the banquet, Shi Anxia learned the truth from people he knew.

She just smiled faintly, without showing it on her face, as if she didn't care.

Doesn't she know better than others whether her husband is capable or not? But this matter is not simple. A hundred thoughts went through Shi Anxia's mind.

Bei Hui also heard the rumor and was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage at home. "Isn't this more powerful than any evidence?"

Zhuo Qiran sent someone to invite Lady Meng while explaining to her, "Madam, you are still thinking too superficially. The court officials in Xiliang are very cunning. They deliberately distorted the child's words to force Emperor Yu to reopen the six palaces to select concubines to prove his power."

"Is... that so?" Bei Hui wondered, "It's been so many years, and you still haven't given up."

"As the saying goes, when frost withers, thousands of trees die, but when the sun shines, a bud sprouts. If there is even a glimmer of hope, they would like to send their daughter to the palace to be favored." Zhuo Qiran comforted, "The emperor and empress will handle these matters, you don't have to worry."

Bei Hui felt relieved. "I don't want to bother with them. Rumors will become boring as they spread."

But I wish this matter was really that simple. Rumors are never aimless, like a poisoned needle, piercing the most vulnerable joints of a person.

Shi Anxia understood the viciousness of this situation as soon as he heard it.

Spreading the word "Emperor Yu is incompetent" and forcing him to reopen the six palaces and take concubines to expand his family were all gentle calculations.

In fact, this is a chain trap.

When the rumors in the court and the public begin to grow, some people will question the origins of the three children.

When An Xia was pregnant, Cen Yuan happened to be on an expedition with Emperor Mingde. When she was about to give birth, she heard the tragic news that Cen Yuan had died on the battlefield.

In other words, Cen Yuan was not around when Shi Anxia gave birth.

The child was not born in the normal month, but was born several months late. According to common sense, the origin of his bloodline is indeed questionable.

Apart from other things, just looking at their appearance, the three children are also very different. If it were not known for sure that they were born from the same twin, people would doubt that they were siblings.

The little prince was nourished by the essence of heaven and earth when he was in his mother's womb, but he was not strong enough. If Zhuo Qiran had not used his magic to save him, he would have been in danger of death.

Now he has grown into the little prince, who looks several years older than his actual age, while his two sisters look several years younger than their actual age.

Once the bloodline is flawed, the position of the Crown Prince will be criticized. At that time, the Censorate will hear about it and impeach him. This is the duty of the censors.

At this juncture, court officials, in the name of defending morality, requested to depose the crown prince or even the queen and appoint a new one.

If treacherous people mislead the ministers in the name of "clearing the emperor's side" and shake the foundation of the country under the pretext of "supporting the orthodoxy", great changes will inevitably take place in the government.

Shi Anxia explained the pros and cons in detail, "My husband, the most difficult thing right now is that the witnesses who can prove the origins of these three children are all from the Northern Wing. The government and the people of Liang will inevitably be suspicious. This is a trap set by the Northern Wing, and everyone is colluding to make false statements."

Cen Yuan had actually noticed the unusual trends when the rumors were spreading, but she didn't expect the matter to develop so rapidly.

His eyes darkened suddenly, and murderous intent surged in his eyes, "Since someone is tired of living, let's send them on their way."

Anyone who makes irresponsible remarks about my wife and children will be killed!

He turned and walked out of the hall, his black dragon robe fluttering, and the murderous aura around him almost condensed into substance. Even the palace lanterns dimmed a little wherever he passed.

Shi Anxia leaned against the vermilion lacquered and carved palace door, gazing at the tall and straight pine-like figure, and suddenly called out softly, "Husband..."

Cen Yuan paused, and a gust of cool wind blew from his sleeves. As soon as he turned around, he saw his queen running towards him, holding up her skirt.

The palace lanterns in the corridor shattered the light of her hair into stars. Her embroidered shoes stepped on the green jade tiles, clearly without sound, but it seemed that every step hit his heart.

He subconsciously spread his arms, and his wide sleeves looked like clouds hanging from the sky under the moonlight.
