Spring Drunk Chang'an

Inherit the mansion.

Become the crown prince.

As soon as these eight words came out, Liu Wenrui froze instantly, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he stared at Liu Changan closely.

Liu Chang'an's back was straight and his eyes were clear.

Do not avoid.

Their eyes met, and there seemed to be a flash of fiery red thunder.

For a long time, for a long time...

"How do you prove that what you said is true?" Liu Wenrui spoke, his voice very hoarse.

inside of.

Full of desire.

"Second Young Master, I've told you everything I can. You have your confidants, too. Liu Yu lives in Liujiazhuang in Xinghuapo. The Duke's concubine doesn't stay at home either. You can go and see what she looks like." Liu Chang'an smiled faintly, "She looks exactly like Liu Wenbai."

Liu Wenrui's pupils shrank, and he was speechless for a while. He asked, "Have you told my mother about this?"

Liu Changan pursed his lips and shook his head.

Liu Wenrui pressed, "Why don't you say it?"

Liu Changan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Madam has been so kind to me. Since you know this, I have no intention of hiding it. However, my identity doesn't make it appropriate for me to reveal this."

"The inferior cannot seek the superior, and the distant cannot seek the relative. If I expose the Duke's 'stealing the dragon and switching the dragon', he will hate me deeply."

"Liu Wenbai will want to kill me."

"Even my wife might not be grateful."

This statement is false. Liu Changan knows Song. She would rather suffer herself than hurt others. Knowing about the 'stealing dragon and switching dragons', she would be in agony and blame herself for the pain.

But, he would never vent his anger on Liu Changan.

She would just be grateful.

But Duke Liu and Liu Wenbai would never be like the Song family. They would hate Liu Changan to the core.

"I am just a slave. My entire family's indentures are in Madam's hands. I don't want to let Madam down, nor do I want to take such a big risk. Therefore, I have come to you to cooperate..."

"You want to be loyal, but you can't bear to leave your family? So you pick me out?" Liu Wenrui sneered.

He approached with his fists clenched in anger.

He looked like he was ready to hit someone at any time.

Liu Changan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he stood still, not moving. "Second Young Master will benefit from this, you..."

"He will become the crown prince."

Liu Wenrui stopped in his tracks instantly, his peach blossom eyes gleaming with endless greed. He stared at Liu Changan for a long time with a complex and murderous look before he said, "Tell this young master this, you..."

"what do you want?"

Done! !

Liu Changan's almond-shaped eyes lit up, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She felt her back wet with sweat. She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves and said calmly, "You should know my request. If I don't intend to investigate this matter, Liu Wenbai will send Wang Jin to kill me."

"I need your protection, and once you find out the truth, please make this matter clear."

Let Liu Wenrui reveal the truth and bear the pressure from Duke Liu, Liu Wenbai and the outside world, so that the prince and the Song family can stay out of it.

This is what Liu Changan has been planning.

The Ningguo Mansion secretly supported the Prince of Yan, but on the surface it was still a faction of the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince exposed the "stealing the dragon and switching the dragon", which was like cutting off one's own limbs in the eyes of outsiders. In the eyes of some officials, he might be regarded as "mean and ungrateful".

Since her rebirth, the prince has helped her so much, and Liu Changan will never allow his reputation to be damaged.

"Second Young Master, do you agree to my terms?"

"If you agree, I still have some inside information and evidence to tell you."

Liu Changan said in a deep voice.

If you want to do something bad, let Liu Wenrui do it.

Anyway, when dogs bite each other, both get a mouthful of fur.

"I..." Liu Wenrui looked at her hesitantly, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the 'position of the crown prince', "Okay, I promise you!"

"I will send someone to protect you. If it turns out to be true, you will definitely benefit from it!"

"What else do you know?"

"Tell me."

He gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Hearing this, Liu Changan felt relieved. A bright smile appeared in her almond-shaped eyes. "Listen to me..."

-

Chunliyuan.

Xiao Chuo walked through the moon gate with his hands behind his back, passed through the eight-turn corridor, and arrived at the door. Two guards saluted silently and opened the door respectfully. He stepped into the house.

His solemn brows relaxed slightly, he pressed his brows with his slender fingertips and rubbed them twice, then leaned sideways on the low couch.

In the room, a young eunuch came quietly with a tray in his hand, placed a thick stack of memorials on the small table above the low couch, and also laid out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

There was a hint of fatigue in Xiao Chuo's smoky eyes, and he picked up the first memorial on the pile of memorials.

Lower your eyes to look.

He picked up the pen again and pointed out a few sentences from time to time.

"I know."

'understood. '

'read.'

A stack of memorials was quickly reviewed. After the young eunuch respectfully took it away, another stack was soon brought up.

Repeat this four times.

Xiao Chuo finally finished reviewing the memorial. He pinched his brows and suddenly called out, "An Qi."

In the corner, a black figure stepped forward respectfully and knelt down to greet.

"Is the emperor still taking the elixir?" Xiao Chuo asked.

An Qi lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Reporting to the Crown Prince, His Majesty, His Majesty summoned Taoist Chengde yesterday, and the two of them stayed in the Imperial Study for two hours."

"Master Chengde presented His Majesty with two longevity pills. After taking them, His Majesty became as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger. He summoned three beauties to Concubine Qu's palace and spent the whole night in pleasure."

Xiao Chuo's brows knitted tightly together, his cold and handsome face revealing a deep sense of contempt. He sighed deeply, "How is Mother?"

An Qi lowered his head even lower, "The Queen is confined to the palace and will not come out."

Xiao Chuo was silent and waved her hand.

An Qi retreated to the corner.

Xiao Chuo closed her eyes, staring out the window with her smoky eyes, and slightly opened her thin lips. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, there was a light knock on the door.

"Who?" he called out.

"Your Highness, Master Yin requests to see you." The guard reported.

Xiao Chuo, "Please come in."

"Yes!" The guard's footsteps faded away. A moment later, the door opened and Yin Ziyang walked in, bowing his head and saying, "Your Highness, I greet you. May your Highness live a thousand years."

"No need to be polite!" Xiao Chuo raised her hand and glanced at him with smoky eyes. "How's the investigation going?"

"But is there any result?"

He handed the matter of Liu Yu and Liu Wenbai over to Yin Ziyang to investigate.

"Indeed!" Yin Ziyang put his hand to his lips, his expression very complicated. "I have found the midwife who delivered Young Master Liu Yu, oh no, I should say the young master born to Qu Qiutong."

"According to the midwife, the son born to Qu Qiutong has a black mole the size of a peanut, shaped like an egg, on the inside of his right upper arm, near his armpit."

"I sent someone to knock Young Master Liu Yu unconscious and personally checked. There's nothing on his arm. As for Master Liu, I never had the chance to get close to him, so I don't know if he..."

Xiao Chuo's pupils contracted and she looked straight at Yin Ziyang, but he didn't say anything.

Yin Ziyang seemed to sense something and asked sensitively, "Your Highness, do you know about that mole?"

"When I was young, my aunt brought Liu Wenbai into the palace. The Prince of Yan was naughty and splashed water on him. I saw him washing in the East Palace."

"A mole shaped like an egg!" Xiao Chuo said hesitantly.

The expression is indescribable.

"Did Liu Xiu really swap children? What did he want?" Yin Ziyang grinned and finally couldn't help but speak out.
