Spring Drunk Chang'an

It’s really hard to have family affection in the royal family.

Even though Emperor Yingwu believed that he had his true love, the imperial concubine, and a filial son, he knew in his heart that his imperial concubine was not as kind and gentle as she appeared to be, and his son was not as sensible and docile as he appeared to be in front of him.

The imperial concubine is like a "dominant" in the harem.

Even Queen Song had to keep three feet away from her.

And his son Xun'er was the "little bully" among the princes. When he was young, he kicked his brother down the stairs and bullied his sisters. When he grew up, he looked down upon all his brothers and sisters except the crown prince.

Emperor Yingwu knew it, but he really loved Xun'er and pretended not to know.

However, I still can't help but envy the family atmosphere of the Song family.

"Forget it, Lord Song, you've already made your decision, so I'll naturally help you!"

Emperor Yingwu waved his hand.

Although he was jealous, he would not harm others and benefit himself. Compared with the Song family, Liu Xiu was really more annoying.

So he decided to help the Song family.

after all……

In this matter, whether openly or secretly, the Song family was the victim, and Emperor Yingwu was concerned about his reputation.

"Thank you very much!"

Song Bin was overjoyed.

At the side, Liu Xiu frowned and said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, please reconsider. After all, this is my bloodline..."

He wanted to stop it.

It wasn't that he really couldn't bear to part with Liu Chang'an. He still despised him in his heart. He was raised by a slave. He opposed it simply because he didn't want the Song family to be proud, and...

After all, Liu Changan is a beautiful young girl, so she can be of some help in bringing about marriage.

Don't refuse it. When the time comes, just give it away with a small dowry.

Moreover, if we take it, we can also restrain the Song family and control the Song clan.

All benefits, no harm.

Liu Xiu wanted to fight for it.

Song Bin's face darkened instantly and he looked at him coldly.

Song's eyes were filled with anger, and she looked like she wanted to go up and beat Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu: ...

He looked straight ahead, bent his waist, and looked at Emperor Yingwu pleadingly.

Emperor Yingwu pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Liu Xiu, I remember that when you divorced the Song family, you agreed to leave all your children, except your eldest son, to the Song family!"

"You two, whether biological or swapped, only have three children."

"Two of them belong to the Song family."

"Liu Qingru, she's a concubine's daughter. The Song family won't want her anymore..." Emperor Yingwu paused and turned his gaze towards the Song family, his expression questioning, "You won't want her anymore, will you?"

Song was startled and quickly said, "Your Majesty, of course not!"

What's more, even if she wanted it, the other person wouldn't be willing to be with her.

She smiled wryly.

"Yes, the Song family no longer wants him, so you must take him back. Then it is only natural that Liu Chang'an will take Liu Qingru's place and be taken in and recognized by the Song family."

"Don't think about it."

"Live a good life with your biological daughter."

"Why do you keep trying to separate mother and daughter? We finally got them back together!"

Emperor Yingwu curled his lips.

Liu Xiu's face was full of bitterness.

The Song family thanked him repeatedly, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Thank you so much for your help."

Emperor Yingwu waved his hand, "No problem!"

From then on, Liu Changan was considered to have "followed his mother's words" with all her words.

Liu Xiu was very reluctant, but since His Majesty had spoken, and his 'imperial order was as heavy as a mountain', he couldn't refute it. He simply accepted the order and thanked him. Immediately, he added, "Your Majesty, my second son, Liu Wenrui, is a sensible and filial child. He also came to his brother's wedding today to help. After learning about these things, he decided to come home to help me and his brother!"

"Well, that's what the child wanted."

Since leaving with the Song family, the second son had "run into" him several times, and his words and deeds all implied that he wanted to come back. He asked him out several times, and later, Wen Rui even said that as long as he was willing to accept him, he could find a way to persuade the Song family. However, Liu Xiu had always been concerned about Wen Bo and never thought of accepting him.

But now...

Wenbo is paralyzed and it is unknown whether he can recover in the future. He and Qiutong are not young anymore, and it is still uncertain whether they can have another son to support Wenbo. It would be better to bring back Wenrui as a backup.

It was impossible for him to pass the title to Wenrui, but he could marry him off, let him have more children, and choose the best one to adopt as Wenbo.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario where Wen Bozhen cannot be cured. If he can be cured, it would be a blessing.

Wen Rui...

After all, he is his son. He won't keep him for nothing. He will just give him more money.

Liu Xiu had a very good idea.

Emperor Yingwu frowned and glanced at the Song family, whose expressions were calm but only slightly indignant. He waved his hand and said directly, "You can discuss the fate of your two sons with the Song family."

"She was the one who took the child away. As long as she is willing to give it to your son and he doesn't object, I won't care."

He's not his son anyway.

"However, if the Song family is unwilling, you cannot force them."

Even if your son agrees, it won’t work.

Because the victims Song Bin and Song Shi did not reveal Liu Wenbai's true identity and he was surprisingly easy to talk to, Emperor Yingwu did not mind him pretending to be a good person.

Anyway, when Liu Wenrui returns, he will probably inherit Liu Xiu's title.

No matter what, Xun'er and he couldn't trust anyone with Song's bloodline.

It would be better to stop him from having such thoughts and let Liu Xiu focus on "creating a baby".

"This..." Liu Xiu turned around anxiously, staring at Song in amazement, "You, you..."

Song pursed her lips, and she really wanted to ask for Wen Rui to stay with her, as burying him would not be cheap for Liu Xiu. However, she changed her mind and recalled the frightened and pleading look in Wen Rui's eyes when he looked at her at the wedding.

That child is really selfish and doesn't care much about her as a mother.

However, unlike Liu Qingru, he has some affection for her.

Not much though!

However, even for the sake of this little family affection, the Song family did not want to hinder his future. Since he felt that he was better off with Liu Xiu, then let him do it.

"I will obey the child in everything."

"Whatever Wenrui wishes, that's fine. I have no objection."

It is enough for her to have Yu'er and Chang'an.

Song lowered her brows.

Emperor Yingwu nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Then you two families can discuss it."

After that, the chief eunuch from the outer room came running in with his shoulders hunched and his head lowered, announcing, "Your Majesty, the Grand Court Minister and the Minister of Justice request an audience!"

Oh, the people who are investigating the Duke of Zhenguo are here.

"Let them in!"

Emperor Yingwu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" The eunuch chief accepted the order, turned around and left the hall, and soon led five officials in.

Among them, two are from the Dali Temple and three are from the Ministry of Justice, and they are all people in charge.

There is no one below the third rank.

After entering the hall, the five first knelt down to pay their respects. Emperor Yingwu raised his hand and called them up, then told them the reason for calling them.
